Part of the title above for this post is from a quote by Pastor Jack Hibbs which is contained in the following 53 minute sermon he preached earlier this month: "Full throttle all the way to the end." His encouraging words that follow stress how we need the strength of the good Lord - always - but in these perilous times especially. One thing he says in his video below "God is going through this with you" is a good reminder for all of us - no matter what we're facing now. Pastor Hibbs reminds us that God is always present with true believers and that He is the God of the impossible! It is one Pastor Hibb's best sermons that I have ever watched !
There is also a part two dated 2-18-22 found on You Tube which I have not as yet watched myself. I have tried several times to put the link to Part 2 and it will now work for me. Go to you tube and enter "Stop: A "How To" when we need the strength of the Lord - Part 2
Many people today (even many unbelievers) are still interested in some things concerning the end times which we find ourselves experiencing now. Most are especially interested in the antichrist and the meaning of 666 as found in the Bible. Me, I am more interested in JESUS CHRIST and looking for HIS coming!! However, following is a short 15 minute video on the topic of the antichrist spirit in the world today. The Christian video below mentions that the coming antichrist will be more of a political leader, rather than a religious one.
"When a man's heart is right with God, the mysterious utterances of the Bible are Spirit and life to him. Spiritual truth is discernible only to a pure heart, not to a keen intellect. It is not a question of profundity of intellect, but of purity of heart." - Oswald Chambers
"The lip of truth shall be established for ever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment." - Proverbs 12:19
On the above verse at Proverbs 12:19, Charles Spurgeon has written in his "Faith's Checkbook" devotional the following:
"Truth wears well. Time tests it, but it right well endures the trial. If then, I have spoken the truth and have for the present to suffer for it, I must be content to wait. If also I believe the truth of God and endeavor to declare it, I may meet with much opposition, but I need not fear, for ultimately the truth must prevail. What a poor thing is the temporary triumph of falsehood! "A lying lip is but for a moment." It is a mere gourd which comes up in a night and perishes in a night; and the greater its development the more manifest its decay. On the other hand, how worthy of an immortal being is the avowal and defense of that truth which can never change; the everlasting GOSPEL, which is established in the immutable truth of an unchanging GOD !
"An old proverb saith, "He that speaks truth shames the devil." Assuredly, he that speaks the truth of God will put to shame all the devils in hell and confound all the seed of the serpent which now hiss out their falsehoods! O my heart, take care that thou be in all things on the side of truth, both in small things and great; but specially on the side of HIM by Whom grace and truth have come among men!" - (end of Spurgeon's quote)
"Let God have your life, He can do more with it than you can!" - unknown
"Promises are God's golden fruit to be plucked by the hand of prayer." - E. M. Bounds
"If Christ is the Way, we waste time traveling any other." - unknown
"Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man." - Oswald Chambers
If Jesus were to return to take His people to heaven tonight, would you be rapture ready? Only those who have put their faith and trust and belief in Jesus Christ as the Savior are truly "born again" (a spiritual re-birth). Also to believe in the power of Jesus' shed blood on the cross, that as a sacrificial Lamb, He died in our place - took our sins upon Himself and paid our sin debt in full, by which His shed blood can wash us clean if we but have belief that He is the Savior (and believe that He was resurrected) as Romans 10 tells us. We must believe with all of our very being in the Savior Jesus - with all of our soul, and mind, and heart ! Not mere head knowledge, or intellectually. Following are Scriptures to help lead you to understand and come to Salvation.
"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." - John 3:36
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." - John 14:6
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
