"Time Is Running Out - Signs to KNOW You Will Go To Heaven; Seek God While He May Be Found" (with videos) - Inspirational Weekend
[Hamakua Marsh, Kailua, Oahu]
Do you truly know God? Not only an intellectual knowledge of Him and Jesus, but a soul stirring and heartfelt belief and faith in Him; to love Him with all of your heart, and soul, strength and mind. If so, then you will endeavor to obey Him always, and to put His will first in your life.
"And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." - Mark 12:29-31
Following is a 10 minute video which is excellent in its insight on the subject of seeking God. Many Scriptures are covered, especially Isaiah 55:6-9 which tells us:
(verse 6) : "Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: (verses 7-9 : (7) Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. (8) For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD. (9) For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts."
"The Bible is your lifeline. The assurance of heaven ought to make a difference in our life." = A quote from the following 15 minute video titled " 3 Signs You Are Going To Heaven (This May Surprise You.)"
I will let the above excellent 15 minute video speak for itself. However, one of the signs given in it that you will go to heaven, is if you have a peaceful heart. Boy, do we all need a peaceful heart in these troublesome prophesied end times ! It is possible. However, it does not mean that at times we are not stressed or heartbroken, or do not have any afflictions that life and the devil throws at us. It does mean that we will NOT "stay down" if we rely on the good Lord and put our faith and hope in Him, and depend upon Him for strength to endure.
"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." - Jesus at John 14:27
The hope of heaven which true believers have will enable us to carry on about the Lord's business. Actually, it is God's Holy Spirit within us Who helps and encourages us to "Keep on keeping on."
"And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him, for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." - Jesus at John 14:16-17
Note: In verse 16 above when Jesus says "Comforter" it is another expression for the Holy Spirit. Most of you know that, but for some who are not saved and reading this, it is a new concept to them.
[Barber's Point Lighthouse, Oahu]
Much has been written on this blog concerning the fact that we are living in the last days of this Age of Grace, this dispensation. These are urgent times, folks ! Today, with all the uproar around us and in the world, for that matter, on so many dire and unprecedented issues confronting us: " Something has to give !!"
And soon it will. Jesus will return soon to take His true followers to heaven in the Rapture. Then, or probably soon thereafter, the 7 year Tribulation will begin under the rule of the antichrist. You do not want to be here to suffer the magnitude of the destruction, horror, and agony of the Tribulation! ( Go to the "Search Box" in the upper right hand side of this page and enter things such as "7 year Tribulation, The Rapture, End times, " etc. for more information).
So how do you avoid the Tribulation period? If you sincerely turn to Jesus now in faith and belief that He is the Savior - that His shed blood at the cross redeemed us and that He was the Sacrificial Lamb whose blood washes away our sins (wipes the slate clean) because He took our place at Calvary - He took our sins upon Himself and paid our sin debt in full; If you believe all this and that He was resurrected from the dead - You will be saved and will spend eternity in heaven with Him, our Savior and Redeemer. You will be taken to heaven before the 7 year Tribulation begins !
Following are some Salvation Scriptures for those who are not saved at the present time. Take them to heart ! Pray to the good Lord for forgiveness, and truly repent of your sins. God will answer that prayer if you are sincere.... if you have a change of heart and want with all of your being to serve the Lord and obey Him.
"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
"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?" - John 11:25-26
"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

"Are You Afraid Of God?" (Sermon Videos On The Proper Fear Of God) - "Inspirational Weekend"
[Twilight Surf - Kauai, Hawaii]
Those who are unrepentant sinners definitely should be afraid of God and His final judgment on them if they do not repent before they die. Also, the Bible tells us that many unbelievers left behind after the Rapture of the Church (Christ's Bride; true believers) will have an opportunity to come to faith in Jesus, the Savior, during the 7 Year Tribulation period which follows the Rapture. But they will do so as a sure guarantee that they will suffer death (by beheading; Revelation 20:4) by the antichrist system and government during the Tribulation.
One verse needed to be shared here is James 2:19: "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."
Sadly, many unrighteous people today believe there is a God, but they do not even "tremble" like the demons do, because they are so far gone in their wickedness.
Following is an excellent 5 minute sermon clip by deceased Pastor David Wilkerson titled "Fear the Lord"
If you are not saved, have not been "born again" ( a spiritual rebirth), then please prayerfully consider the following salvation Scripures.
"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 is waiting to hear from you!
He loves you!
He will welcome you with open arms to embrace you in His love and forgiveness!
"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
"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

"The Power That Banishes Fear" (With Video by Dr. David Jeremiah) - Inspirational Weekend
"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."
"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?" - John 11:25, 26

"In The Shadow of God's Wings" (With Video Sermon By Adrian Rogers) - Inspirational Weekend
The apostle Paul put it beautifully when he said, "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." - Philippians 1:21
"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
"If ye love Me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; Whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him, for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." - Jesus at John 14:15
It all boils down to having faith in Jesus and believing that He is the Savior; that His shed blood at Calvary washes away all of your sins when you believe with all your very being that His death, His redemptive work at the cross, paid your sin debt in full. He was our substitute and died in our place, taking the sins of the world upon Him at the cross. He is the only way to heaven; and only He can save a sinner from the darkness and death; and bring him into His saving Light and life.
"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." - Jesus at John 3:16
When you have Jesus with you, you can face anything!
Following is an excellent 39 minute sermon by Adrian Rogers on ways to draw closer to Jesus.
Time is running out!
Jesus will return soon to Rapture true followers of Christ to heaven to be with Him.
Are you Rapture ready?
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."
