"It Won't Be Long Now!" (Videos on End Times and Current Events, Salvation, Amir Tsarfati Update, How To Become A Mature Christian) - Inspirational Weekend

[Sunrise -  Kauai Beach, Hawaii]

My mind is so full of things that I want to share with you now that I almost don't know where to begin.  Realizing that time is short and that Jesus will return any day now for His Bride (true believers) it is imperative that as much information as possible concerning these last moments of the end times be told as the times are urgent and the message of God and of His Son Jesus Christ must be proclaimed as if there is no tomorrow.  Some will die tonight without knowing Jesus as their Savior.  We should have so much love for Him and for others that we share the Gospel of Jesus and of salvation by Him as if it is our last day on earth.

Times are urgent !  We must be about our Father's business:  winning souls !

"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life: And he that winneth souls is wise."  -   Proverbs 11:30

Videos concerning Bible Prophecy and end times current events will follow on this post, but first, for any who are not saved and for some who may doubt their salvation, the following 24 minute video by Chad Thomas explains salvation thoroughly and he uses illustrations to help make it clear.   Please watch!

Many are aware of the evangelist and Messianic Jew Amir Tsarfati.  He is an Israeli who has many reliable sources of information concerning the Middle East conflict and how it all ties in with Bible Prophecy of these end times we are experiencing right now.  The following 42 minute video by Amir (which was posted today) exposes the lies of the mainstream media and gives us the truth of what is actually happening in the Middle East at this time.

Please take the time to watch the entire video above by Amir.  He talks about the Kurds and what really is true about them and President Trump's reason to leave them on their own.  Much more is discussed above.... you need to hear it.  Amir says, "Let the Lord find us doing His will.  Be ready and spread the Gospel."

"And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed."  -    Romans 13:11

Recently there was a news article that said that Americans are becoming less Christian and that over a quarter follow no religion.  Also, that there is a rapid decline in numbers over the past decade.

It is true that religion doesn't save you.  It is a strong, intimate, personal relationship with the Savior Jesus Christ that saves you.  As many of you realize, religions are dead wrong. By that I mean that truth can be found only in a true Bible based Christian church that preaches Jesus and His resurrection and that the only way to heaven is through faith and belief in Christ and His sacrificial death and His redemptive work for us on the cross.  (John 3:16; John 14:6). And many so called modern day Christian churches water down the Gospel and emphasize "feel good" messages that have no depth and no truly saving sermons.  Also, many churches today depend on elaborate entertainment to draw a crowd......thereby some churches are full of unconverted souls as well as  worldly Christians.

Many modern day Christians are lukewarm and not totally surrendered to the good Lord's will.  God and Jesus should be first in our lives.   We should be pouring over the Holy Word (the Bible) daily and praying without ceasing, for in that way we will learn to communicate with our Lord and thereby draw closer to Him.

Do not think that since you are a "babe in Christ" that you need to rely only on Bible Studies at your church, or only on sermons.  We need to do all of that, of course,  but as said many times here previously, the good Lord wants to fellowship with us. He loves us passionately and we should feel the same about Him.  If we truly love God and Jesus, we will want to spend time with Him in our own private prayer time and our own time spent in the Bible, God's love letter to us.  Only by that can you come to know the good Lord intimately and appreciate His love and mercy and patience as you learn more about His attributes as found in the Bible; your love for Him will grow and grow and grow as you learn of His great love for you and for the grace He gives you by saving you and keeping you safe in His loving embrace.  If you do not ever read your Bible or seldom, if ever, pray, you will always remain a "babe in Christ."  You will never reach spiritual maturity and you will not grow as a Christian.  We all need to draw close to the good Lord.

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

If you have trouble in understanding the Bible and don't read it for that reason, you are missing so much spiritual food.  Pray to the Lord for His Holy Spirit to guide you and give you understanding as you read the Bible.  That prayer is definitely within the Lord's will and He will answer it.

Do not be so caught up in pleasure and worldly pursuits that you have no time for God and Jesus.  That is not showing gratitude for Jesus' sacrificial death so that you might have eternal life by faith in Him and in His resurrection.

Following is a 13 minute video by Chad Thomas on end time prophecy concerning the soon destruction of Damascus and also more on the war of Gog and Magog.  Chad believes that the destruction of Damascus (Isaiah 17:1) will occur first and then the war of Ezekiel 38 and 39 will happen during the 7 year Tribulation period.  Right now, Russia, Iran, Turkey, and others mentioned in Ezekiel are in Syria and at the ready to attack Israel.  Bible prophecy being fulfilled right before our very eyes !  Remember, Israel is God's prophetic time clock;  the tribulation period will bring the Jewish people to believe in Jesus, the true Messiah.  Keep your eye on the Middle East !  Better yet, first keep your eye on the good Lord and His many promises as found in the Bible.  God  loved us enough to have the prophets of old warn us about these last days we are living in now!  We do not know the day or the hour of Christ's return, but the Bible gives us warnings as to the "season" of His soon coming to take true believers to heaven to be with Him.  Read Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 for the signs of Jesus' soon appearance.

Below is a video about God's Love Letter to You, which is very moving and will touch your heart:

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."

"(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

Keep watching!

Keep looking up!

It won't be long now!

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:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMtd7o5ex10

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

https://inspiringnaturephotography.blogspot.com/search?q=gog+and+magog

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 !!

"Beware Of Modern Versions Of The Bible" (Two revealing and truthful videos) - Inspirational Weekend

The Bible, God's love letter for you, is in danger!  That is, if you read any of the many modern versions, which change and even delete entire verses which are in the King James Version.   Many scholars and pastors believe that these modern versions are preparing us for the coming one world religion and the coming New World Order.  If you do not believe this, check out things that the current pope is doing and saying concerning this soon to come One World Government with its false One World Religion.

Following is a 49 minute sermon by pastor Charles Lawson on the subject of corrupt new versions of the Bible. 

In this sermon, pastor Lawson tells us that the NIV version has changed considerably and will continue to change.  Almost half of the NIV has been changed since its first appearance years ago.

Pastor Lawson also says that the world is being "initiated to be prepared to accept satanism."

Following is a rather lengthy one hour and 46 minute video featuring different pastors and other individuals.  It takes verses from modern versions of the Bible and compares them to the King James Bible.  It tells us that about 15 or 16 verses are omitted in the NIV that are in the King James version.  It discusses other modern versions as well.   In the following video, there is even information on the history of the Bible, and much more.

https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=truth+in+genesis+new+world+order+bible+versions&view=detail&mid=4F541FE0C9FD1775A8474F541FE0C9FD1775A847&FORM=VIRE

Please, if you do not have the time to watch both videos above, then skip Pastor Lawson's sermon and watch the link above instead.  It is chock full of insight and interesting facts that are eye-opening.   There is so much to digest in this video, that you may want to pause and get back to it later.   It is rather long, but please be patient and watch all of it.  You will be glad that you did.

Revelation 22:18,19 (KJV) tells us: (18) "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: (19)  And if any man shall take away his part out of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."

Our main concern is to have faith in Jesus and in His Redemption and His taking our place at Calvary....our Substitute, that if we have faith in Him as the Savior and believe in Him and in His resurrection, we may be born again from above and sealed by the Holy Spirit as a child of God. 

"In Whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in Whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise." 
 Ephesians 1:13

1 Corinthians 1:2-5 tells us: (2) "Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:(3) Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. (4) I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;  (5) That in every thing ye are enriched by Him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge."

How can someone be enriched by God and Jesus in all utterance and in all knowledge,  if they are reading a modern corrupt version of the Bible which is mostly man's viewpoint and interpretation and which also leaves out entire verses.   We need the FULL entire Word of God in order to have accurate knowledge and also to feel the Holy Spirit guiding us as we read the reliable King James Bible.

If we are reading a corrupt modern version, which leaves out verses and words found in the King James Bible and even adds words like "new order" and such, we may not have a true understanding of Scripture and miss important information to help us in our walk with the good Lord.  

Also, consider the fact that many (if not all of these modern versions) are copyrighted.  I have not had all versions in my hands to check this out, but it is true of some nonetheless.   Someone has said, "Can you tell me how in good conscience can someone have a copyright on God's Word? The only way to get a copyright on a previously uncopyrighted book is to prove you have changed 40% of the content.  Think about that.....It's one thing to charge for the printing of the book, but to charge for the words?!   The only reason they can get away with this is because these Bibles are THEIR WORDS!  They are no longer God's words because they have changed 40% to obtain copyright."

If you follow this blog, you know that we are in the last moments of the last days of this age of grace.   The shadows of the coming 7 year Tribulation are falling upon us now.  They are preparing for the One World Government as mentioned in the Bible book of Revelation.  That includes the One World Religion mentioned in Revelation 17 and 18.   

Since the Tribulation period is so near, then we know the Rapture of true believers to heaven must be very soon.  God always keeps His promises.  

Make sure that you get the whole truth of God's Word by reading the reliable and proven King James Version.   It has stood the test of time.

Please scroll down to my previous post on September 30, 2019, and watch the video there pertaining to these end times we find ourselves living in now.  You can find out more about these last days by going to the Search Box on the upper right hand side of this page.  Just enter "end times" or "mark of the beast" or "7 year tribulation" and various other topics and different articles will pop up for you to view.  Many of them have videos attached as well.

Make sure you are Rapture ready!

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."     - Jesus at John 8:32

"Jesus answered him 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

"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 Soon Rapture Of True Believers- Is Anyone Interested Anymore? (With Important Bible Prophecy Video)

In the above photograph of mine, taken from Makapu'u Beach on Oahu, with Rabbit Island in the background, the two persons enjoying the beach and the beauty of Hawaii seem happy and totally oblivious to the fact that I was photographing them.

Many people today go about their everyday lives, consumed with their own problems and just everyday affairs of life, and never give a thought much about God or eternal issues.  They are wrapped up in themselves and stay so busy that spiritual things are the least of their concerns.

I have tried a few times to include a link here to an interesting article titled "Think Not Generation" at www.raptureready.com , but my computer is not cooperating.  I hope you go there and find this recent article by Todd Strandberg.

In the article, Mr. Strandberg writes that most believers today are totally apathetic about how close we get to the Tribulation hour.  Satan, the father of lies, used to use forecasts of the Lord's return to create confusion but, now that we are approaching the end of the age, he is trying to prevent people from being mindful that time is running out.....so says Mr. Strandberg.

By the way, raptureready.com is a good website to visit often and they update daily with many articles.   Another excellent site is raptureforums.com.   Check them out.

There are still many believers who want to know more and more about Bible Prophecy, especially as it is so evident how much the Bible prophesied is now coming true in these last moments of the end times. Bible Prophecy conferences still draw many hundreds and thousands of interested persons each year.   One such yearly conference is the one Jan Markell hosts each year.   The latest one was on September 21 of this year.  You can go to You Tube and find it by entering 2019 Understanding the times conference Olive Tree ministries.   Even just entering Jan Markell's name on You Tube you will find it.You may also find all of the speakers' sermons there, which include J.D. Farag, Amir Tsarfati, Jack Hibbs, Dr. Robert Jeffress, and Jan Markell gave a talk this year as well.

They talk frequently of the nation of Israel, as Israel is God's prophetic time clock, and His chosen people.  God did not abolish His ancient covenant with His chosen people, as many churches teach the false doctrine today of Replacement Theology.....  that the Christian Church has replaced Israel.   The heavenly Father has a plan; He is in control.   

I am giving you here a 55 minute video of Jan Markell's discourse at the conference this year.  Great information here !

Granted, the main issue for each of us is salvation by belief and faith in the Savior Jesus Christ.   We need to make sure we are putting the good Lord first in our lives.   Some professing Christians are not really saved; and many of them don't realize it.

One test to know if you are born again from above is whether you put God and Jesus FIRST in your life.  Do you spend time often in prayer and do you read the Bible daily?  Do you have a hunger to draw ever closer to God? Are you sharing the Gospel with other lost souls?

"For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit."   -  Romans 8:5

"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."  -  Romans 8:14

"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God."  -  Romans 8:16

Time is short!

Jesus loves you!

If you have not been saved yet, Jesus is waiting for you with open arms full of love and forgiveness!

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."

"Today's Storm; Tomorrow's Rainbow" (With Video) - Inspirational Weekend

Someone has said, "Today's storm is going to bring tomorrow's rainbow."

People today all over the world sense that we are definitely in a storm of sorts right now, what with the evil and chaos and threats of war looming over us.  Not to mention corruption in government and how the New World Order is beginning to take shape now, and will be full blown during the 7 year Tribulation period.  I have written much about the end times on this blog.  If you go to the search box at the right side of this post and towards the top of the page, you may type in "end times" or "7 year tribulation" or "The Rapture" and other similar topics pertaining to these last days we find ourselves living in right now.....the very last moments of the end times describes where we are now on the prophetic time clock.  I will not repeat myself here of the same information written previously.

So we are in a storm right now, so to speak, concerning the turmoil of these prophesied end times.  

So where or what is the promised rainbow of tomorrow?   

True believers in the Savior, Jesus Christ, know the answer to that question.

"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ."  -   Titus 2:13

Yes, Jesus will return any moment now to rapture true believers to be with Him in heaven.   This will occur before the Tribulation period.   Please, if you have not already done so, surrender your life to the good Lord;  have faith and belief in Jesus as the Savior and in His redemptive work on the cross;  that His shed blood can wash you clean ; and that by your faith you will become a child of God and will not suffer the horrors of the Great Tribulation.   And you will escape the burning fires of hell by your sincere and heartfelt faith in Jesus' sacrifice.   He died and took our place on the cross to pay our sin debt in full.  All we need to do is believe in Him and do our best to follow in His footsteps.

Tomorrow's rainbow also includes a blissful existence and future and being with Jesus and the heavenly Father forever.  There will be such peace and joy there that we cannot even begin to fathom the depths of it.

Following is a 23 minute video by Chad Thomas concerning the present day prophetic events, the New World Order which is soon to come, and much, much more.

"For myself, I long ago decided that I would rather know the truth than be happy in ignorance.  If I cannot have both truth and happiness, give me truth.  We'll have a long time to be happy in heaven."   -  A. W. Tozer

I used to jokingly say, "Ignorance is bliss".  That was before I was truly born again and at that time I was more secular and hardly ever thought about God.  I am very grateful to the good Lord for His patience with me, and for His tender mercies.   He, through His Holy Word, has taught me that knowledge of Him and Jesus is paramount; but so is faith, of course.

What the heavenly Father wants most from us is a close, intimate, personal relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.  Like any relationship, we need to spend quality time with Him and communicate often with Him by prayer.  No relationship can thrive if you never spend time with the other person, if you never talk to them.  Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17).   Take all of your cares and burdens and lay them at Jesus' feet; trust Him with all of your heart.  He will give you peace and hope.

"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."    Jesus at John 14:27

Again, today's storm is going to bring tomorrow's rainbow.

Rainbows occur frequently here in Hawaii.   It gives me great joy when I see one.  I believe I have mentioned this before,  but the sight of a beautiful rainbow always reminds me of the many promises of God.

True believers have a strong faith and believe the many promises of the good Lord.  We have eyes of discernment to recognize that the time of the return of Jesus could occur at any time....the time when He raptures His Bride, true believers, to take them to heaven to be with Him.   Please read Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 for the signs Jesus gives us to prove we are now in the season of His return.

What saddens me is the many people who may even regularly attend church, but they are not saved; not truly born again.  They have no close relationship with the Lord; many never pray and many never read their Bible.  Many are friends of the world, and think only of the pleasures of this world.  

Sincere believers in the atoning work of Jesus at Calvary know that we should put the good Lord FIRST in our lives !  His will first and foremost !

Folks, this old world is about to go through a tribulation of 7 years, unlike anything it has ever seen before.  God will pour out His wrath upon all the ungodly who never accepted Jesus as their Savior.  Please turn in faith to Jesus now and put all your trust and hope in Him.    There is no other hope or heaven for you, if you are not a child of God by faith in Jesus Christ.

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."

"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

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

"The Best Guide Ever !" (With Video On Current Events And Bible Prophecy) - Inspirational Weekend

[Grand Tetons , Wyoming]

Many of you may travel a lot and, if so, sometimes it is necessary to have a tour guide who can point out things which are a must see, and to warn against any dangerous areas.  A good guide is a must at times.   

Psalm 48:14 speaks of the best guide ever:  

"For this God is our God for ever and ever:  He will be our guide even unto death."

God will be our guide and will conduct us all along through life.  If we are true believers, He will guide us to heaven after our death, or at the Rapture of the Church, whichever comes first for us.  He is not only our guide, but our friend and our protector.  He will do this for those who put their trust in Him.

One commentator has said:  "Man needs nothing more for this life than the confident assurance that he has the eternal God for his guide, and that he will never be left or forsaken by Him in any possible situation in which he may be placed.  If God, by His own hand will lead me safely through the dark valley - that valley which lies at the end of every traveler's path -  I have nothing to fear."

[Banyan Trees Across from Waikiki Beach, Oahu, Hawaii]

Dear friends, I know most of you have been through difficult times in your lives; times where there seemed to be no hope and you did not know how to cope; times where you felt lost and abandoned by others.   If you were not a true believer in Jesus during those times, it looked especially depressing, for you did not have a faith that could have helped you cope much better; a faith that gave you hope.

For those of you who have a saving, believing hope in the sacrificial death of Jesus, Who took our place on the cross and bore our sins.... paid our sin debt in full ...  you have a hope of Jesus helping you now, and the hope of soon being with the good Lord in heaven.

"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of  the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ."  -  Titus 2:13

Believe the Bible ! Jesus' soon return is spoken of in the Bible, which tells us we are in the last moments of the last days if we read Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21.  Only God the Father knows when that day will be that Jesus returns, but Jesus gave us signs so that we would know we were in the season of His return -  found in the before mentioned Bible Chapters.

[Hanalei, Kauai, Hawaii]

Remember, God/Jesus will never leave us; and we, by His grace, will never abandon Him.

"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have; for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."  -   Hebrews 13:5

Following is an 18 minute video on how the next few weeks could be huge prophetically.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHcbK6bWGwM&t=92s 

Are you Rapture Ready?

Jesus loves you.

He will return soon to take all true believers to be with Him in heaven.

Don't be left behind to face the horrors and the plagues of the 7 year Tribulation which occurs after the Rapture.

Turn to the Lord now while there is still time.

Admit you are a sinner and in need of a Savior.  (Romans 3:23)

Believe with all your being that Jesus is the Savior and that He can wash away all your sins and declare you saved when you put your full trust and belief in Him.  (John 3:16;  John 14:6)

Call on the name of the Lord and commit your life to Him in full surrender.  (Romans 10:13;  Romans 8:1)

The good Lord made salvation easy to understand; all He asks is that you repent of sin and that you totally surrender your life to Him as you believe in Jesus as the Savior with all of your heart and soul.

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."

Remember, the good Lord wants all of your heart.  We must look to Him as our guide and follow in Jesus' footsteps as best we can.  If you do so, your life journey on this earth will more joyful and full of His grace; and will take you to your journey to heaven.


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

"There Is An Expiration Date!" (With Video by Adrian Rogers) - Inspirational Weekend

[Diamond Head Beach and Lighthouse, Oahu, Hawaii]

Most of us are aware that Christians have applied a lighthouse as a symbol of Jesus Christ,  Who is our guiding light.   We are now living in the Age of Grace, or the Church Age.  For that, there is an expiration date !   And it will expire very soon !

For Christians, be Rapture ready!  Be occupied with the Lord's work and sharing the Gospel -  the life and teachings of Jesus and His deity, and His death, burial, and resurrection.   Because He took on all of our sins at the Cross, and shed His blood so that we might be washed clean when we put our faith in Him and believe He is the Savior, the way to heaven.

"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

Please read Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 .   There it mentions various signs that would occur during the end times.   You will discern that many of these signs are occurring right now, proving that Jesus will return soon to rapture true believers to be in heaven with Him.   Never before have all of these signs converged at one time like they are right now.  Even children can recognize this is an evil world, corrupt and chaotic.  

"Woe unto them  that call evil good, and good evil;  that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter !"   -   Isaiah 5:20

The above verse in Isaiah aptly describes today's world, where evil insists that we accept the world's views on various things and lifestyles, and which the world claims is okay despite what the Bible clearly admonishes us against.

Yes, as many of you realize, we are living in the last moments of the last days.   I have written much about this on this blog.  Following is a previous article of mine which tells of the days of Noah, the giants, the origin of demons, and the altering of DNA in humans (and animals) which helps us to realize that we are living in the last days.... the last moments of the church age, when Jesus will return soon to take believers to heaven.  The 8-27-2019 article mentioned explains how the age we live in now is truly like the days of Noah, and ripe for God's intervention and first for Jesus to rapture true believers to heaven before the judgments and plagues and wrath poured out on those unsaved people during the 7 year Tribulation. 

"But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."     -     Jesus at Matthew 24:37

My computer is acting up again,  and will not allow me to link to the article mentioned above.   Just scroll down to my previous post on Tuesday, August 27, 2019, and you may read it there.

[Rainbow at Waimea Bay, Oahu, Hawaii]

Whenever I see a rainbow, I am reminded of God's many promises.  He has promised a glorious future for true believers in His Son, Jesus Christ, the Savior.

Following is a 40 minute sermon on the Rapture by Adrian Rogers, who has gone on now to be in heaven with the good Lord.  He states in this sermon that the world is on a collision course with destiny.

Yes, there is an expiration date approaching for this wicked world.  Be ever mindful of and faithful to the good Lord in our minds and hearts and speech and actions.   Live totally surrendered to Him and seek to do His will always.   

A. W. Tozer has said, "A satisfactory spiritual life will begin with a complete change in relation between God and the sinner; not a judicial change merely, but a conscious and experienced change affecting the sinner's whole nature.  The atonement in Jesus' blood makes such a change judicially possible and the working of the Holy Spirit makes it emotionally satisfying."

Unbelievers, now is the time to get right with the good Lord and surrender your life to Jesus; believe in Him as the Savior, and you will be sealed by the Holy Spirit as a child of God forever.

Ephesians 1:13 tells us, "In whom ye also trusted, after that we heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation:  in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, "

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."

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