"ARE YOU ON YOUR WAY TO HEAVEN? - WHAT ABOUT THE MILLENNIUM LATER?" - (Videos: (1) All About Heaven; (2) The New Heavens & New Earth; and (3) A Fantastic Millennium Discourse by Chuck Missler) - Inspirational Weekend

 [Internet Image]

The above web image may not be an accurate rendition of heaven, but it is rather beautiful and hopefully enjoyable for you, as well as to grab your interest for the following videos and other sources which contain a ton of information about heaven, the New Earth, and the Millennium Reign on earth -- most of you realize that that is also called the 1000 Reign of Christ on earth.  Will you be there?

First is a 29 minute video by Prophecy Watchers (with Gary Stearman as host) and guest Larry Ollison, and they discuss "The Road To Heaven."  Larry Ollison tells us that "Everybody wants to go to heaven, but they don't want to today!  Partly because they don't realize how wonderful heaven will be."

Pastor Charles Lawson, in the following 31 minute sermon, has an information packed and hopeful message  concerning the New Heavens and the New Earth as prophesied in the Bible.  Pastor Lawson believes that 2 Peter 3:10-13 describes a literal fire, etc.,  that will destroy the earth to make way for the New Heavens and the New Earth. Many agree with Pastor Lawson's view on that.  Others have the opinion that it will not be a total destruction, but rather a "renovation and cleansing" of the earth.  You will find Pastor Lawson's sermon powerful.

By the way, I highly recommend that you visit Pastor Lawson's website.  It has his sermons, as well as links to valuable and helpful resources.    pastorcharleslawson.org

Following is 2 Peter 3:6-14 :  "Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.   But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.  Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless."

It has been quite awhile since I have watched any of Chuck Missler's teachings (he passed away in 2018).  You may find some of his lectures, etc. on You Tube just by entering his name, as well as by going to his website:  khouse.org.  The following 76 minute video is titled :  "Revelation Session 23 - The Milllennium".  Missler adds other tidbits of interesting information besides concerning the Millennium which are fantastic "gems" to take note of as well !  For instance, he gives his opinion (which is very logical and believable) as to where he thinks "the bottomless pit" is actually located (of Revelation 9:2).  He also uses visuals  (charts, etc.)in this teaching below.

In view of the fact of the current world conditions (many of which are Bible Prophecy coming true in these last moments of the end times) -  we must remain true and faithful to the good Lord and not go against our faith for any reason or to compromise in any way.  Stay in prayer frequently - several times a day, even -  and read your Bible daily.  It will not only give you strength and peace to do that, but it will draw you even closer to the good Lord.... and He will draw close to you!  Also, as you fellowship with Him, you will develop a close, intimate, personal, loving, enduring and lasting relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ !   It doesn't get any better than that !  Except when we are actually with Him, face to face, for all eternity!  

"Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you." -   James 4:8a

"And he that keepeth His commandments dwelleth in Him, and He in him. And hereby we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit which He hath given us." -    1 John 3:24

"Hereby know we that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He hath given us of His Spirit."  -    1 John 4:13

"If any man serve Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there shall also My servant be: if any man serve Me, him will My Father honour."   -  Jesus at Luke 12:26

"If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love."    John 15:10

Mentioned previously on this blog, is a wonderful Christian You Tube Channel  called "Grace For Purpose" and its "Grace For Purpose Prayers" and it is very very encouraging and their videos are chock full of Scriptures.  Following is an 11 minute sample of one of their morning prayers:

If you are not saved- have not been "born again" by believing in Jesus Christ the Son of God as the Savior and the only way to heaven, then the following Salvation Scriptures are for you!  Jesus took our place on the cross - He died for us - ransomed us, and paid our sin debt in full by His shed blood -  He was the Sacrificial Lamb that died in our place.   All we need to do is first, to repent, and pray for forgiveness, sincerely and wholly heartfelt surrender to Jesus that is by belief in Him as the Savior, the only way to heaven !

"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

"(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) -  2 Corinthians 6:2

"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

"Jesus answered and said unto him,  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."   -  John 3:3

"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

Have a blessed and Christ centered weekend -  and life !!

 

"The Good News and The Bad News" (With Videos on The Last Days and The War of Gog and Magog) - Inspirational Weekend

In my last article on October 5, 2019, (scroll down directly below) I wrote a bit about the current pope and the coming One World Religion and the New World Order.  Following is an informative 16 minute video by Chad Thomas which discusses that in more depth:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJHi4KbG9y4

I have often written here that God and Jesus want to fellowship with us; we need to have a close, intimate, personal, love relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ.  We can achieve that if we pray often and if we read our Bibles daily.  You will thereby come to know and appreciate the love of God and Jesus, and their attributes which makes your love for them grow stronger and stronger.   You will want to obey the good Lord out of love and gratitude, and your gratitude will also grow as you see the Lord at work in your life.   

Chad, in the video above, says, "What saves a person is not religion, but a relationship with Jesus Christ."

The good news?   Jesus saves! It is the love of Jesus that embraces us and His sacrificial death on the cross proves His amazing love for us.  He was our substitute at Calvary; He took our place to pay our sin debt, so that if we believe in Him and in His resurrection, we will be saved and have the hope of eternal life.

Romans 10:9,10,13 tells us:  (9) "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

And there is more good news!   So many true believers today are just plain weary and tired of this evil and perverse world.  It has become a more dangerous world; a world where Christians are considered the enemy and even persecuted and put to death.  Actually, that sounds more like bad news. But the good news is the fact that all of this proves we are living in the last moments of the last days and that Jesus will return soon and rescue us from this turbulent and satan controlled world..... Jesus will take us to heaven in the Rapture and we will escape the coming 7 year Tribulation, when the wrath of God is poured out upon wicked persons in the form of plagues, and torments, and fire and destruction.  

Following is another video (14 minutes long) in which Chad Thomas talks about the Gog and Magog war and the possible reasons why America is not mentioned in the Bible:

Some time ago I wrote an article about the coming Gog and Magog war with a wonderful explanation by Chuck Missler :

What exciting times we are living in now!  We are seeing Bible prophecies and/or their precursors converging now like never before.  There is nothing to fear if you are a true follower of Jesus Christ. 

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."         -  2 Timothy 1:7

"... for the joy of the Lord is your strength."  -  Nehemiah 8:10 b

"Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit."  -   Romans 15:13

"And ye shall be hated of all men for My name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved."    -  Jesus at Matthew 10:22

So the end of days is upon us!

We fly Home soon!

All good news for the true believer, except for his concern for unsaved loved ones who will miss the Rapture and be left behind to face the horrors of the 7 year Tribulation, and eternity in hell if they do not believe in Jesus Christ as the Savior now.   Some will be saved during the Tribulation period, however. (More good news!) Read Revelation 7.

Revelation 7:13, 14 tells us:  (13)  "And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence come they?  (14) And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest.  And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."

The bad news is the fact that many that are left behind and find themselves in the Tribulation period, will take the mark of the beast so that they may buy and sell and obtain food for themselves and their family.   Those who take the mark of the beast are damned to hell forever, because they have showed their allegiance to the antichrist instead of to God and Jesus.

Revelation 13:16,17 informs us: (16) "And he [the antichrist] causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. (17) And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast [antichrist], or the number of his name."

There is good news for true believers during the Tribulation that stay true to the good Lord and who do not take the mark of the beast.  True, they will be killed and beheaded for their faithfulness and trust in God and Jesus, but the good news is that they will be rewarded with eternal life and will be with the good Lord.

"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast [antichrist] , neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."    -   Revelation 20:4

For true Christians, please warn your unsaved loved ones to not take the mark of the beast during the Tribulation.  But better yet, help them to come to a saving faith NOW before the Rapture of believers and the following Tribulation period.

Time is short!

We fly Home soon!

"And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."     - Jesus at Luke 21:28

Have a  blessed and Christ centered weekend..... and life !!
