TIME IS SHORT-NOW IS THE TIME FOR SALVATION!

Jesus said, You speak correctly! For I am a King. This is why I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the Truth. Everyone who is a friend of the Truth hears, listens and recognizances My voice.
“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.
“Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears abundant fruit. However, apart from Me (cut off from vital union with Me) you can do nothing.
“He who believes is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed (cleave to, rely on, trust in) the only begotten Son of God.”
Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Don’t just say to each other, ‘We’re safe, that means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children from stones. Even now the ax of God’s judgment is poised, ready to sever the roots of the trees. Yes, every tree that does not produce fruit of the Holy Spirit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him men might be saved. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

"2012" Another new year of our Lord Jesus Christ!

As the world date marks its calendars by Christ birth and many nations once founded on Judeo-Christian law and ethics are now abandoning the truth for heretical beliefs based on humanism, existentialism, and even pagan law. In many communities laws now support open adult public nudism and erotic toddler and adolescent pole dancing contest in the same public venue. At the same time planet Earth is experiencing drought, polar ice melt, overpopulation, and dwindling resources to support the current population. Also with the advent of dictatorships collapsing and previously Communist states opening there doors, more people are converting to Christianity then in any other time in history. Approximately 8 million new conversions a year in communist China alone in-spite of heavy persecution, beatings and prison sentences. All of these things predicted in the most historically accredited publication ever written with over 8 billion copies printed which claims to be the inspired word of God commonly known as the bible. The bible containing a chronological record of man's creation by God, man's rebellion toward God, man's fall and separation from God, and God's plan of redemption, salvation and reunification with God for all those that accept, believe and diligently seek Him (God). At stake the willful choice of reunification with God through Christ for eternal life in an incorruptible state of joyful being, or the alternative choice of eternal separation from God and all His creation in a state of perpetual undieing corruptibility resulting in everlasting torment over so great a loss. Make no mistake about it judgment is coming for those not covered by the blood of Christ and have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them, evident by the love of Christ that is evident in one's words and deeds. Nothing else in this life will ever compare or be of such monumental importance with regard to our individual choice to accept or refuse Christ. Happy New Years for those that have made the right choice! Everyone else is on borrowed time with the weight of eternity in the balance!

LOVE FOR THE LOST

Brothers & sisters in Christ Jesus, we know according to God's word that judgment day is coming soon and there will be a multitude of us too large to count that will enter heaven through the narrow gate having a real relationship with Jesus Christ (in Holy-spirit and in truth), looking forward to a place prepared for us where creation is made perfect and where sorrow and tears will be replaced with continuous gladness and joy. While we who have the spirit of Christ have already tasted of these things and look forward to that great day, we must never forget why Christ still has us here as salt of the earth to reach the lost! The lost are a far greater the multitude of those that unwittingly reject Christ, are deceived by this world, blinded by religion, or possessed by unclean spirits, lovers of self rather then lovers of God. In fact the word of God tells us that Hell had to be expanded to contain the far greater multitude of souls that decided to take the wide and easy path that leads to eternal destruction where there will be an eternal fire with brimstone, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth day and night for eternity, and where the worms that consume the soul dies-not!“If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one foot than to be thrown into hell with two feet. And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out. It’s better to enter the Kingdom of God with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell where the maggots never die and the fire never goes out. Mark 9:45-48 ”

This judgment is what a Holy and Righteous God who created all things and paid the price for our sin on the cross will require and demand, despite our arguments. Our choice of either redemption, freedom, and eternal life through walking and knowing Jesus Christ, making us righteous and holy and able to bare fruit of the Holy Spirit, which is the evidence of our conversion. Or Self Idolatry, using this life and everything that God created as the doormat to self worship believing in our own redemption and deceptively creative lies, hoping that an all-knowing God will buy it somehow. St James made it perfectly clear “faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. Now someone may argue, “Some people have faith; others have good deeds.” But I say, “How can you show me your faith if you don’t have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds.” You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror. How foolish! Can’t you see that faith without good deeds is useless? James 2:17” For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. Romans 1:18

THE GREATEST IS LOVE

Love, Faith, Hope, and Charity all created by God. But the greatest of these is Love. Those are the fruits of the Holy Spirit and the evidence that we know Jesus Christ and his spirit dwells in us. The same Holy Spirit that raised Christ from the dead will also raise up those of us who believe unto ever lasting life. But those who NOT believe and have NO fruit of the Spirit will be resurrected to judgment with the rest of the world. Salvation is a free gift to anyone who surrenders his life to Christ, born again, and they becomes a new creatures having your minds renewed. So then the works and fruit of the Spirit that follow a believer (Love, Faith, Hope, and Charity) are just the byproduct of a born again Spirit filled life, they are not the means or justification to salvation in avoiding judgment and Hell. Even if you have love, Faith, Hope, and Charity and even if you give up your life for some cause, it cannot and will not save you from Hell. Like Jesus told the religious leaders of his day “Unless you believe that I am God, savior of the world, take up your cross and follow me (Born Again), YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR SINS because where I go you cannot come.”

Our journey from physical birth in this world to spiritual rebirth in Christ is why we are here, it is every persons destiny and inheritance to be offered salvation. Whether or not you accept it will be either result in a great beginning or tragic ending lasting forever. The analogy is the same as a child's life who only cares about plying games, but once that child grows up and becomes self aware of his destiny as an adult, the child becomes a adult and puts off childish ways. This transition is the same for all of us who were once non-believers we acted and believed in the foolish things of this world, but once we heard and believed the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ we also changed and became born again allowing the Holy Spirit to help us put away the childish ways of the world that lead to death. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things (1 Corinthians 13:11).

Get ready while there is still time because judgment is coming around the bend like a speeding freight train and like a flood will overtake everyone that keeps resisting Gods call to salvation. For those of us who are born again, have received the Holy Spirit, we bear witness to these things in our lives. The evidence of which is Love, Faith, Hope, and Charity. But the greatest of these is Love.

I may have the gift of inspired preaching; I may have all knowledge and understand all secrets; I may have all the faith needed to move mountains—but if I have no love, I am nothing. I may give away everything I have, and even give up my body to be burned —but if I have no love, this does me no good. Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fails.(1 Corinthians 13:2-7)

As a young 17 year old Christian sometimes stumbling in sin but by the grace of God always able to repent and continue the race toward salvation, I remember this favorite 1975 song our fellowship group often listened to that reflects this blog entry, by Kenn Gulliksen called Charity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m535OdDhFcY

THE YEAR OF JUBELII for those that walk with Christ, but great tribulation judgment for those that reject redemption.

The whole world is about to be tested and enter the period of Gods judgment, the great tribulation. Jesus Christ prophesied that true believers should pray that they will be found worthy not to go though this terrible period which is coming upon the whole world. Christ said like the labor pains of woman the time leading up to the great tribulation would come on slowly at first getting worse and worse with famine, war and persecution of Christians. Then the angels appointed by God will open each seal of judgment to be poured out upon the earth. As believers we need to recognize these signs which are already here and prepare ourselves and draw close to God through his son Jesus Christ in spirit and in truth, in preparation for delivery out of God judgment “ the great tribulation“ that is coming upon the whole world. Instead just like in the days of Noah and Lot Christians will be delivered out just before things go from bad to terrible and look forward to returning with Christ at the end of the great tribulation. At the end Christ will be seen coming in the clouds like lightning that flashes from east to west shining like the sun in great power and glory to do final battle at Armageddon with the armies of the world led by the Antichrist. Jesus Christ will be recognized by all the people on the earth, those Christians who died and also those Christians that remain alive will take on immortality and be caught up to meet Christ in the air. The great majority that received the mark of the Beast and all those that refused to believe, repent and be saved, Christ will merely speak and the armies of the world will be defeated at Armageddon then the inhabitants of the world will morn as they recognize Christ and will seek death to hide but will not find it (try and kill themselves but not die). Then the earth will be healed and remade and the year of jubilee will start followed by a thousand years of peace upon the earth for all believers. In the mean time God will have his angels gatherer all the those that died in there sins to face the great judgment which will at minimum include eternal separation from God and abandonment of all hope.

Behold I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books. The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds. Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death. And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:12-20)

Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives. His disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and the end of the world?“ Jesus told them, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, for many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah.’ They will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come. “Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers. And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come. “The day is coming when you will see what Daniel the prophet spoke about—the sacrilegious object that causes desecration standing in the Holy Place.” (Reader, pay attention!) “Then those in Judea must flee to the hills. A person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack. A person out in the field must not return even to get a coat. How terrible it will be for pregnant women and for nursing mothers in those days. And pray that your flight will not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For there will be greater anguish than at any time since the world began. And it will never be so great again. In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened, not a single person will survive. But it will be shortened for the sake of God’s chosen ones. “Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah,’ or ‘There he is,’ don’t believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones. See, I have warned you about this ahead of time. “So if someone tells you, ‘Look, the Messiah is out in the desert,’ don’t bother to go and look. Or, ‘Look, he is hiding here,’ don’t believe it! For as the lightning flashes in the east and shines to the west, so it will be when the Son of Man comes. Just as the gathering of vultures shows there is a carcass nearby, so these signs indicate that the end is near. “Immediately after the anguish of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will give no light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And then at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (Matthew 24:3-30)

Anniversary from temporal to the eternal, only through Christ

God has allowed me time to reminisce about my late wife Carol’s acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior just weeks before her death. People who reject the preaching of the cross as a notion, and the surrendering of one's will to Christ’s redemption, love, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, they don’t understand or believe the change I saw in my wife Carol after she prayed the sinners prayer, the visions she had of heaven, and the peace she had that passes all understanding. Though it has been a year since her death and we were married 30 years, its as if she never really died at all becasue I have seen where she is at myself. No matter what Carol did in her life or how she died, the events that led up to her asking to receive and accept Christ as her savior was the only thing that really mattered in the end. God was gracious enough to allow me to see Carol on just 2 occasions after her death and I can assure you she has a new glorified body living in a joyful place with allot of other believers who did not die in their sins. Carol only expressed to me one concern, my steadfast walk with Christ and my prayers for our children to know Christ. I’m sure she cares for all that are lost but this was on her mind when she last spoke to me.
God has made it self evident in both creation and his written word that we only have one life in this world as spiritually dead beings clothed in flesh and one path to connect with Christ and be spiritually born again, washed of all sin and accepted into the family of God unto life everlasting, giving us back our intended inheritance. For everyone else who’s prideful hart clings to this life’s “dress-rehearsal” will die in their sins, then comes the judgment and the 2nd death (eternal separation from God and all creation), our choice not God’s. Just like making excuses to a judge in this mortal life wont save you, holds true for God’s judgment. Christ is our only advocate and He has paid the full price for our crimes on the cross so that judgment can be averted, but only if we truly accept Christ as our advocate and savior in spirit and in truth, this the only truly important choice you’ll ever make.
“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!
“I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. (John 15:5-10)

You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world, of this earthly order; I am not of this world. That is why I told you that you will die under the curse of your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He Whom I claim to be--if you do not adhere to, trust in, and rely on Me, you will die in your sins. (John 8: 23-24)

A FATHERS-DAY PRAYER

Abba Father, thank you for your presence within me through your Holy Spirit. Thank you for letting me address you with such familiarity and boldness, such respect and dependency. Thank you for being my Heavenly Father for eternity. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Holy Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father God. (Romans 18:15)
