Some new rapture thoughts and a presentation

Here are some new updated thoughts on December 21, 2013. The day of the rapture is soon upon us and before any can imagine. Whether or not there is a final harvest of souls (I hope there indeed is one, I want all to have a chance to hear the gospel) beforehand, and I sense that this revival/ awakening may be already starting up abroad but not in America where there is seemingly a systematic push to make people leave God and not draw nearer as they ought to in the media, education and entertainment and many of the churches do not seem to care anymore about it or outreaches for that matter but have become seeker sensitive, interested in tickling hearers ears rather than risking driving them off by presenting a message designed to bring the members to repentance and forgiveness from Christ for their evils, and Jesus to set them free. However one good sign as that here at New Life Bible college in the fall of 2013 there is a powerful hunger for God’s word and teaching, as well as worship, and much stronger than I have seen anywhere before including here at New Life Summer 2010. I am praying God is behind this and using this to raise up His people for a soon to come American revival! While I am sure this will hit resistance and likely persecution, the country can sure use this revival, and I pray that God would use such to wake up many who would otherwise have missed the rapture and been faced with living the tribulation period, which will be more terrible than anything that you can imagine.

I again present the message for to all of you to wake up and return to Jesus before it is too late and you find yourself missing the rapture and being left behind. Only Jesus can save and He wants you to be along in the rapture when it happens and it cannot be far from now. Here are the five types of people around nowadays:

I sense this evening, December 19, 2013 that there will be five kinds of people in these end times period at around the time of the rapture so I am making a new presentation with this in mind and including other prophecies of the coming rapture and information so you can be ready to go, as a type one and not end up as any others. I make this in love, too wanting people to make this coming rapture by the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus who will soon come to take His children away in the coming rapture. Here are the five types of people- all will fit in one of them, which one are you? I hope all strive to be type 1!!

Type  1 Those on whom are indeed ready to go in the rapture now and indeed do go in the rapture, whenever that wonderful day may be. These are NOT lukewarm in their faith and love towards Jesus, but on fire for Him and doing all they can for Him and have NOT lost their first love at all, but love Him with all their heart mind and soul(as well as their neighbor) and also heeding all of the warnings and signs of the end times, diligently studying and being informed of them. I fervently pray there are many of these and that this warning text will increase their numbers even more. I have no wish to see ANY miss the rapture for any reason at all. I will add a salvation prayer too(see type 3 of people for that). I pray and plead for  you read this in time to be taken in the rapture but even if not you can still be saved after the rapture happens and I believe that many people will indeed be saved but most will likely be martyred for their faith at that time.

Type 2 those who miss the rapture and find themselves left behind but then will  repent of what kept them from the rapture, returning to Christ with much shame and regret wishing they had NOT fallen away from Christ (or having become lukewarm or worldly)in the first place and knowing that their falling away beforehand cost them the opportunity of making the rapture when it happened and are  likely to be martyred eventually at the hands of the Antichrist  (or else live most of the time on the run). These are the groups of people spoken of in Revelation chapter 5 and 7, perhaps, especially in chapter 7. At the rapture these will have left their first love and or have been found to be too lukewarm to be taken in the rapture. These will almost certainly receive the crown of life because of giving their lives for the Lord’s sake. I urge all readers of this presentation before the rapture to repent NOW of being lukewarm, backslidden, worldly and/or compromising but to be on fire for the Lord so as not to be a part of this group but group 1 and go on the rapture itself!! Here is a prayer to help you with this repentance so you can say then or preferably before the rapture to return to Him now with the hopes of being taken in the rapture:

Heavenly Father I confess these sins(confess them verbally, as the Holy Spirit brings them to you, things such as being lukewarm or worldly whatever they may be) to You and say I am sorry I did these things, making these confessions to You through faith thanking You for Your promise in Your word that when we confess our sins You are faithful and just to forgive them and cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness. Thank You for forgiving all my sins and breaking all demonic oppressions, bondages, and strongholds behind them and deliverance from temptation. Thank You also for washing our robes in Jesus’ blood and making them white and spotless again. In Jesus Name I pray this Amen

Type 3 those who are NOT saved now but DO get saved after the rapture has happened. If you are reading this after the rapture and fall into this type or even type 2 know there is hope for you, if you repent NOW of your sins! It will almost certainly cost your life or at best you will be on the run for years, but that is far better than to be hard and take the mark of the beast and be in hell forever. To be saved and a part of this group or if read in time to be a part of group 1 please pray this prayer with me, or if you are reading this before the rapture and are unsaved and want to ask Jesus into your heart and be saved and want to go in the rapture so as not to be in this group but group one, I also encourage you to pray this following salvation prayer with me, then seek Jesus with all of your heart until He comes to take His bride, which could be any day now.

Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess Jesus as our Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we will be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself. Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life.

Amen.

Now that you are saved (either before or after the rapture has happened I then urge you to then take time to read the bible thoroughly , especially the end times chapters with the Lord. These include Daniel, Matthew 24, 25, Mark 13, Luke 12,17, 21, and especially the book of Revelation. Pray fervently to the Lord for Revelation and the meanings of these and other scriptures and just a good relationship with Him, which He longs for too. I also recommend seeking the baptism of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues- because the gift of speaking in tongues  has been a real blessing for me personally.

I will go over the last two types fairly briefly because it is NOT my wish for ANY to be in either of these two types at all but I know there will be people who will fall into either of these two categories.

Type 4 is someone who is not ready for the rapture at this time, similar to the  type 2 person (luke warm, worldly, lost the first love, etc) , with the same issues keeping them from making  the rapture when it happens. The difference is that instead of repenting of their wrongs before or after the rapture and returning to Jesus, they then, finding themselves left behind, get very angry with God for being left out of the rapture (which was their fault for falling away and not God’s and as a result (no doubt encouraged by Satan who will lie to them about God doubtless) they will then their heart dramatically and their conscience becomes seared and hard , and then fall completely away from the faith, becoming totally reprobate and probably helping persecuting the new Christians who are around at the time of the rapture and otherwise help the Antichrist when he rules. These will likely, as will the type five below willingly take the mark of the beast and even try to force it upon others. Their end, sadly, is the lake of fire for all eternity

 Type 5 of people are the unsaved hard hearted and many are likely reprobate minded  who refuse to repent and come to Jesus no matter what happens to them before or after the rapture of the church, and who then after the rapture and during the seven year tribulation period will freely and openly take the mark of the beast and also take sides with the Antichrist openly helping hunt down those in types two and three during the seven year tribulation period. This is the type of personality who will likely be the ones looting the stores immediately after the rapture taking from them and doing all manner of evil in that chaotic mess taking full advantage of the lawless condition then, and being happy no doubt that there is nobody around to witness to them any more, to tell them of Jesus love for even them and how He died on the cross for them.

Types 4 and 5 are descriptive of those people who are described in the book of Revelation in chapters 9 and 16 as those who refuse to repent for all the judgments and indeed will blaspheme God for the judgments’ severity (especially the vial judgments in chapter 16 ) whose end will certainly be the lake of fire, especially those who willingly take the mark of the beast which most likely they all will do so.

 Please, please, you do not have to be on of these last two types of people- do NOT let your hearts harden when these times come but trust and commit your loves to the Lord Jesus and as a result be saved. Of course that is Satan our enemy’s goal, but I want all to be saved and so does the Lord who loves you more than you can know.

I am now including more on the coming rapture for your information

Towards the end of prayer this morning, December 15, 2013 at church just before the service itself was to begin, I heard two audibles from God , both the trump of God blown by the angel, and the Lord Himself shouting out “COME UP HITHER”. This audible of the trumpet especially (and the shout as well) happened several different times so that as a result I felt like the rapture again would happen right then and there while I was at prayer and as a result the church service would not happen. Then I realized it was just the Lord again speaking to me in His way and wanting to remind everyone that the rapture IS VERY CLOSE at hand and to be ready for this rapture, praying to the Holy Spirit for guidance and all. I really honestly believe the rapture is really close for I have been getting so MANY messages in various forms to share from the Lord through visions, audibles, the Holy Spirit and even being taken up into heaven one time. When the rapture really happens there will be only ONE trumpet blast and shouting- this was just a relayed message to me to share and may have been repeated to get my attention and to make the point emphatically so there IS NO doubt or mistaking it.

Here are the scriptures relating to the coming rapture:

First up in this is 1 Corinthians chapter 15 speaking of the rapture and how we must all be changed and made incorruptible and how death is then swallowed up in victory

(1 Corinthians 15:50)  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

(1 Corinthians 15:51)  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

(1 Corinthians 15:52)  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

(1 Corinthians 15:53)  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

(1 Corinthians 15:54)  So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

(1 Corinthians 15:55)  O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

(1 Corinthians 15:56)  The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

(1 Corinthians 15:57)  But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

(1 Corinthians 15:58)  Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Here are the six verses in 1 Thessalonians chapter 4 that deal with the rapture and how it will work and the dead rise first and how that we which are alive will be caught up(raptured) to meet them in the air.

(1 Thessalonians 4:13)  But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

(1 Thessalonians 4:14)  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

(1 Thessalonians 4:15)  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

(1 Thessalonians 4:16)  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

(1 Thessalonians 4:17)  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

(1 Thessalonians 4:18)  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

December 15, 2013 early AM The Lord again wants me to say that we are on borrowed time as far as the rapture coming, it can come any time and any day now so be prepared and repent of anything the Holy Spirit brings to mind (please ask) or risk missing it, and the church age only continues due to Jesus’ continual intercessions at the throne for more time to be given for the gospel message to get out to all the world that His death is not in vain and also for the wicked people of the western world who have forsaken the truth, in nations like the United States, Canada and the world to repent of this backsliding and come back to Him before it is too LATE and they find themselves missing the rapture and being left behind. The Lord is sick of the seeker sensitive churches and individuals who are very common in these places. The Lord took pains to let me hear vomiting this morning, fairly intense then spoke and said to me that this is what HE WILL DO to the Laodicean church which is widespread and rampant in the US, far too many churches are in this condition, and believers as well. I do not know if this vomiting was an audible sound from the Lord for this message or someone was sick in the next room over. The Lord then stressed that He is seven times, or more aptly seventy times seven times as sick as any person was who might have been vomiting and WILL VOMIT the Laodicean church and individuals out that much more intensely UNLESS THEY REPENT of this condition, and I URGE any who are convicted to REPENT NOW. This means that they will MISS THE RAPTURE and be left behind to face the chaos afterwards and the seven year tribulation period. I am extremely concerned that Satan will get to these people and lie to them and many will fall completely away from the faith, angry at God for missing the rapture themselves for their own condition but believing a lie of Satan, and getting angry with God for being left out. I am also sure that many will also repent for there will be a lot of these martyred during the tribulation period.

 This condition of lukewarmness often happens when churches put out messages which tickle the ears of the people and make them happy, rather than bringing conviction and either driving the people away for, what the Lord hopes for, bringing them all streaming to the altar to repent of their sins and seek deliverance from strongholds and demonic possessions as well as to be healed of all their sicknesses. Too many churches are more interested in their offerings than giving strong messages intended to bring people to repentance, which is sad. Had the churches been better most likely everyone would have heard the gospel and the rapture would have taken place.

I am now going to share some relevant scripture to the above message

First here are the warnings against the way people are today, the condition of the church, and the love of money all of which Paul prophesied accurately in his epistles to Timothy:

In these first verses in 1 Timothy chapter 4 also speak of how people often today sear their consciousness and become hard due to their evils

(1 Timothy 4:1)  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

(1 Timothy 4:2)  Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

(1 Timothy 4:3)  Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

These 8 verses in 1 Timothy 6 speak of peoples’ greed today and also much of the false teaching going on

(1 Timothy 6:3)  If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

(1 Timothy 6:4)  He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

(1 Timothy 6:5)  Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

(1 Timothy 6:6)  But godliness with contentment is great gain.

(1 Timothy 6:7)  For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

(1 Timothy 6:8)  And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

(1 Timothy 6:9)  But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

(1 Timothy 6:10)  For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

2 Timothy chapter 3 also speaks well of how people are becoming in these last days, too in these verses:

(2 Timothy 3:1)  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

(2 Timothy 3:2)  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

(2 Timothy 3:3)  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

(2 Timothy 3:4)  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

(2 Timothy 3:5)  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

(2 Timothy 3:6)  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

(2 Timothy 3:7)  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

(2 Timothy 3:8)  Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

(2 Timothy 3:9)  But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

These two verses also speak of how people will turn their ears to false teachings and such.

(2 Timothy 4:3)  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

(2 Timothy 4:4)  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

In Hebrews chapter 10 here are exhortations of the last days to avoid willful sin and not forsake assembly together but help build and encourage one another by good works

(Hebrews 10:22)  Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

(Hebrews 10:23)  Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

(Hebrews 10:24)  And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

(Hebrews 10:25)  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

(Hebrews 10:26)  For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

(Hebrews 10:27)  But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

(Hebrews 10:28)  He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

(Hebrews 10:29)  Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

(Hebrews 10:30)  For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

(Hebrews 10:31)  It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Lastly here is the warning intended for the Laodicean church in Revelation which warns that they WILL be spewed out (missing the rapture as a result): again I remind all to say that the sound of vomiting I heard this AM is what WILL HAPPEN to all lukewarm believers and churches UNLESS YOU REPENT OF YOUR LUKEWARM CONDITION. Please do it now. I cannot stress enough how important this is!!

This is the church of Laodicea, whom are lukewarm, and Jesus hates that, is very much sickened and nauseated by any lukewarmness and more so than any person can be sick of anything, and encourages them to repent of this lukewarm nature or be spit out of His mouth but He does give the promise that any overcomers will be able to set with Jesus on His throne, too

(Revelation 3:14)  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

(Revelation 3:15)  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

(Revelation 3:16)  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

(Revelation 3:17)  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

(Revelation 3:18)  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

(Revelation 3:19)  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

(Revelation 3:20)  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

(Revelation 3:21)  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

(Revelation 3:22)  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

On the evening of November 23, 2013 at my place in Cleveland Tennessee, I was looking at this e-book heaven the great adventure and now realized that the dreams that I have had for years and years even long before I really committed my life to the Lord may have been actual visions of heaven and me there. I have had very many dreams while sleeping and daydreams, too where I would literally flap my arms at my sides when I was standing in the dream, and then literally shoot up off the ground and go flying somewhere, either generally or to some specific destination, sometimes at fairly low altitude of a few hundred feet or less above the ground, sometimes at much high altitude of many thousands of feet, sometimes slow and sometimes very, very fast, supersonic speeds. Many of these dreams were centered on my homeland of Pennsylvania but some of these flying dreams went for great distances, across states, countries, sometimes off the planet into outer space itself. When I had these numerous dreams I always dismissed these dreams that I have received probably many times hundreds of times preemptively as wild fantasies of my own imagination and forgetting them and about them until I have another and then doing the same thing each and every time I had one, never sharing them when I awoke in the morning with other people at all, but now I am beginning to reconsider the fact that I had previously dismissed and forgotten these repeatedly recurring dreams. After all why would I get such a dream happening over and over again for months and years no matter where I am living at the time? They aren’t exactly the same but they did have the theme of flying in them- my own flying that is without being in any plane etc. I am now wondering if the Lord was trying to use these dreams communicate with me, and myself having missed it all along until now (I an thankful for His patience on that matter) and the Lord is now asking me to share these dreams with you all. I now feel that people will be able to fly just like I did during my dreams and whenever they desire while they are in heaven and likely during the new earth time period after they are created new (Revelation 21). I am pointing this out because the Holy Spirit wants to let you know that the rapture is coming very soon and when it does ALL those who follow Jesus will go to heaven for the time following the rapture all the way up to the time for the return for the battle of Armageddon. I am not sure if this will be possible during the millennial kingdom afterward but I feel more likely it will be after the city of New Jerusalem comes down from Heaven to earth and this flying will enable one to get around that vast city, and indeed be a perfect way of getting around that city, which is a perfect cube of a massive 12,000 furlongs of length, width and height(Revelation 21)

            I am sharing this as a way of encouragement in the hopes that you would use it to draw ever closer to Jesus as the day approaches so you can make the rapture and not be left behind to face the horrors of the tribulation period. I am now including a presentation filled with prophecies of the rapture to help you do this, for it is not my wish that any miss the rapture and face the tribulation period, and neither is it God’s:

On the early morning of November 22, 2013 the Lord again spoke to me speaking of the coming rapture and giving me four categories of people. I am going to list them for you now in the hopes that people- even just one will wake up, get saved or repent and be ready, and for those ready to do even more for the Lord in these very rapidly waning days before the rapture.

Category 1. These people won’t make the rapture because they are not saved, they are either unsaved, living in the west or an unreached country in Asia/India. Also many people are either too lukewarm to make it or too caught up in the cares of the world so as have lost their first love. These last two subgroups need to repent and put the Lord first with all passion. There are far, far too many people in the world and I am led to believe it is for the sake of this big group which could be up to 98 percent of the world’s population that the Lord is tarrying, hoping fervently that some can be won. If you care in this category either pray to know Jesus today for all who call in the Name of the Lord will be saved, and/or repent of any lukewarm things in your life and come back to Christ, making Him your first priority over all the cares of the world. Below are the relevant scriptures dealing with the churches in Ephesus and Laodicea in revelation

First up is the passage of scripture relating to losing the first love in Revelation chapter 2, this written to the Ephesian church- again any convicted here please repent now:

(Revelation 2:1)  Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

(Revelation 2:2)  I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

(Revelation 2:3)  And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

(Revelation 2:4)  Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

(Revelation 2:5)  Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

(Revelation 2:6)  But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

(Revelation 2:7)  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

            The other scripture passage of warning is the one written to the church at Laodicea who were lukewarm. As with then, Jesus does not put up with lukewarm believers and I urge any and all who are lukewarm or even questionable to pray for conviction now from the Holy Spirit and repent and be on fire for God. Those who are lukewarm will find themselves either  missing the rapture entirely or being taken and then literally spewed or spit out of the rapture as it is taking place. The way the scripture seems to read in Revelation 3:16 I would not be surprised if it is the latter being spewed out of the rapture so beware!! I will do what I can to keep my passion for I don’t want to miss the rapture or I think worse be spit out of it as it takes place! Again I say repent now!

(Revelation 3:14)  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

(Revelation 3:15)  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

(Revelation 3:16)  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

(Revelation 3:17)  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

(Revelation 3:18)  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

(Revelation 3:19)  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

(Revelation 3:20)  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

(Revelation 3:21)  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

(Revelation 3:22)  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

I urge you again to repent. The passage below deals with those who are going to make the rapture. In many ways it will be as if you had died when the rapture takes place in as far as everyone WILL appear before the judgment seat of Christ alone at some point to give an account for what they did with their lives. I am backing this up with scripture.

This is first spoken of in Romans chapter 14 where it also warns people NOT to judge one another (not hard to do, repent if so, I repent too as needed) and that we will all stand at the judgment seat of Christ to give account of ourselves

(Romans 14:9)  For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

(Romans 14:10)  But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

(Romans 14:11)  For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

(Romans 14:12)  So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

(Romans 14:13)  Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

This message of needing to give account for ourselves is again repeated here in 2 Corinthians chapter 5, where the fear of the Lord is also stated

(2 Corinthians 5:9)  Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

(2 Corinthians 5:10)  For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

(2 Corinthians 5:11)  Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

We must be mindful of what we do and what motives we do for all of our works will be tested by fire as stated in 1 Corinthians chapter 3, at the judgment seat of Christ to see what type of works they are, be they good works done in a good motive which leave precious jewels, gold and silver, or wood, hay and stubble(the ones which surviving the test will receive rewards) and I will discuss what happens there below.

(1 Corinthians 3:11)  For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

(1 Corinthians 3:12)  Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

(1 Corinthians 3:13)  Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

(1 Corinthians 3:14)  If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

(1 Corinthians 3:15)  If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Type 2 of person- raptured but no rewards. They did make the rapture but find that they have no rewards in heaven. I hope this is not the case but I sense that most who make the rapture may well fall into this category. Either they do little, or more likely they find their works burnt up at the judgment seat but they themselves saved by fire (verse 15, above). This group will definitely face regret at having not done a lot more for the Lord but of course the Lord will wipe away all of their tears. They will be in heaven with the Lord and in ways that is all that matters but it could have been much more for them.  It is, however, not too late to do good works though until the rapture to find rewards and all. But as expressed in these 3 verses in 1 Corinthians, that love is the key motive and things not done in love (charity) will not profit you a thing.

(1 Corinthians 13:1)  Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

(1 Corinthians 13:2)  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

(1 Corinthians 13:3)  And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Please do right works with the right motive.

Category 3- some rewards given. These are those who do indeed get some rewards for good works given, but not all they could have been given. Of the two remaining categories raptured, this will be bigger and perhaps by far. These will have nicer housing than category 2, and find maybe one or two crowns coming their way for service and the Lord will entrust them with helping Him some degree with the millennial kingdom and beyond, but it won’t be what it could have been had they been more diligent and/or done things with a purer motive so there will be some regret too with the group.

Category 4- Many rewards given them by the Lord . These people, which will be by far the smallest group, sadly, of those making the rapture, will get the biggest rewards for their service will be with the right motive, out of love for the Lord and their neighbor. These will receive crowns, three or more, a large place to dwell,  and will help the Lord rule and reign in a big way in the coming Kingdom

 Here is more information on the crowns available to the believer  as rewards after they die or are raptured to encourage Christians to do even more for the Lord. The crowns will be thrown at Jesus’ feet after being received for we know we could never have earned them without Him. There will be other rewards and more, however.

1. The incorruptible crown: 1 Corinthians 9:24,25.

(1 Corinthians 9:24)  Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

(1 Corinthians 9:25)  And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

 This is also called the imperishable crown. This crown is given to believers who faithfully run the race, who crucify every selfish desire in the flesh and point men to Jesus. God calls some people to do things that will require some sacrifice in the way they will live and conduct their lives. Some people may be called to be a missionary in a far off and poor country. They will literally be working for almost nothing in earthly terms. They will have to sacrifice the money, possessions and life style they could have had, if they stayed home in their own country. This verse also implies that these people will also receive this crown for the sacrifices they were willing to make for God in order to successfully  complete  the call and mission God had called them to do.

Basically run whatever race that God has set out for you and be the best you can be for God. Be willing to make whatever sacrifices there may be to successfully  complete  the mission that God has set out for you.

2. The crown of rejoicing: 1 Thessalonians. 2:19, 20. & Daniel 12:3

(1 Thessalonians 2:19)  For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

(1 Thessalonians 2:20)  For ye are our glory and joy.

(Daniel 12:3)  And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

 To those who faithfully are witnesses to the saving grace of God and leads souls to Jesus. This crown has also been named the soul winner's crown. It seems to indicate here that God will be giving a crown to those who have been witnessing to others and leading people to Christ.

Telling others about the grace of God, telling others about Jesus, is the greatest thing that you can do for someone while here on this earth. When you help someone to be led to the Lord, you have just been used as a vessel of God.

God will judge you by your willingness and desire to be used by Him to witness to others, not necessarily on how many actually get saved, because we are to water and He gives the increase. There are many Christians who are simply too busy to be willing to be used by God to try to lead others to the Lord. God can fit opportunities for you in your life to witness and work for Him if you allow Him to. Some could be your unsaved friends, family members or co-workers, etc.

3. The crown of life: James 1:12.

(James 1:12)  Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

 For those believers who endure trials, tribulations, and severe suffering, even unto death Rev. 2:8-11. This crown is also referred to as the martyr's crown.

Jesus says that He will give this crown to those who undergo severe hardship, testing, tribulation and/or physical death on His behalf. Probably being willing to die for your faith in God would be the ultimate sacrifice. It is the greatest act of courage and love that you can show God. Christians who have been martyred for their faith throughout history will not only be given this crown of life, but other rewards once they enter into heaven.

God the Father will honour each ones trials and tribulations and thus will be rewarding them accordingly. Also consider this verse from Rev. 2:10.

"Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life."

4. The crown of righteousness: 2 Timothy 4:8.

(2 Timothy 4:8)  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

 To those who love the appearing of Christ, who anxiously wait and look forward to the day when He will return for His saints. This crown is given to those who have lived a good and righteous life for God while living down here on earth.

First, if you are a believer you have been made righteous before God the Father as a result of Jesus dying on the cross for all of our sins. This means that the righteousness of Jesus has now been imputed to you.

Second is that it refers to us living a good and righteous life for God the Father with what time we have left down here. There are Christians who are righteous before God the Father as a result of being saved, called Justification, through the blood of Jesus Christ; but they are not living righteous lives in their actions, words and behaviours, called Sanctification. There are some people may be saved in God’s eyes, but who  continue  to do are still do evil works that the unsaved would do. We all have our flaws, weaknesses, and certain temptations that we may struggle with. It is not perfection but direction that God is looking for. The Bible says that, we all have sinned and have fallen way short of the glory of our God. We all know right from wrong! God just wants each one of us to choose to do the right thing when faced with certain temptations or choices to do something bad. When it is all said and done, these Christians will probably be receiving some of the greatest rewards that God can hand out once they enter into heaven. To live a righteous life for God will really be worth your while as you will definitely be given this crown by God Himself once you enter into heaven.

5. The crown of glory: 1 Peter 5:1~4.

(1 Peter 5:1)  The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

(1 Peter 5:2)  Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

(1 Peter 5:3)  Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

(1 Peter 5:4)  And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

 This is the pastor’s crown and will be given to the ministers who faithfully feed the flock of God. . This probably could also include preachers, teachers, Sunday School teachers, missionaries and all those who teach the Word of God in their respective ministries. This crown may signify the importance and sacrifices of bringing up others into the ways of God. God wants those who are saved to grow and learn as much as they can about Him, His Son and His Holy Spirit and to do that he uses mature believers who are willing to teach others.

God can use you to teach and shepherd others. God shows you the extreme importance that He is placing on those who teach and preach the word. Being willing to teach and educate others after they are saved is one of the greatest things you can do for them this side of heaven. Here is one last final warning and presentation about the coming rapture that is coming very soon and sooner than many can imagine!! I urge all to be ready for this rapture date as again and again I must state that I do not want any to find themselves missing this rapture!!

ARE ALL CHRISTIANS GOING IN THE RAPTURE???

ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE READY???

This seems to be one of the hot topics on 5 Doves recently, so I feel it is time that I forward one of my tracts that I wrote about 12 years ago, with several hundred thousand in circulation. For those of you who believe that ALL Christians will be taken in the Rapture, I hope and pray that you are right. On the other hand, if one believes that way, and feels no need to change his backslidden, lukewarm, compromising, unwatchful, worldly, or fence-straddling ways, WOE BE UNTO HIM, if he suddenly finds the Rapture happened and he was left behind.


Isn't it much safer to get as close to the Lord as we can in these VERY LAST DAYS? Is there any negative in doing that??? It is much safer and wiser to believe that all Christians are NOT going in the Rapture. Not only safer and wiser, but I believe MORE SCRIPTURAL, also. Following is the tract that I wrote:


Are All Christians going in the Rapture? If, at some point in your life, you have asked Jesus Christ into your life to become your personal Lord and Saviour, does this GUARANTEE that you are going in the Rapture? All signs point to the END OF THE AGE VERY SOON, SO THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION YOU COULD ASK YOURSELF IS, "AM I READY FOR THE RAPTURE?"



Before we go any further, let's clarify what the RAPTURE is. I Thessalonians 4:16-17 says, "For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord."



The Rapture is the GREAT ESCAPE from the horrendous Tribulation period that is SOON to come on ALL THE WORLD! It is for a body of born-again believers in Jesus Christ. The question is IS THE RAPTURE FOR ALL CHRISTIANS?



It is probably safe to say that a majority of Chlristians reading this tract would say "YES". We are NOT addressing the issue of salvation, or "once saved, always saved," or "eternal security". For those of you who answered "Yes", CAN YOU FIND EVEN ONE SCRIPTURE THAT GUARANTEES THAT ALL CHRISTIANS ARE GOING IN THE RAPTURE? Scripture points to the fact that all will NOT be making it to the rapture.



Just because you have always believed something, or your Pastor believes it, or your church teaches it, DOES NOT MAKE IT TRUE! IT MUST BE BASED ON THE WORD OF GOD! It is our fervent desire that ALL CHRISTIANS are going in the Rapture. If ALL CHRISTIANS are going in the Rapture, we have lost nothing by drawing closer to the Lord to prepare for His Soon Return. If, on the other hand, we have a false sense of security regarding our readiness for the Rapture, and we ignore the Lord's warnings to GET OUR HEARTS RIGHT WITH HIM BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, we have a TREMENDOUS amount to lose. Just read the Book of Revelation!



"Lord, your Word is awesome. Lord, your Word is powerful. Lord, your Word is sharper than any two-edged sword. Lord, use the convicting power of the word of the Living God and the convicting power of your mighty Holy Spirit to reveal to every one of us the Truth from your Word. If the message of this tract is not true, then cause it to have no effect on the hearts of those reading it. If, however, the message from your Word IS true, we ask you to release an outpouring of your Holy Spirit on Christians everywhere. For those who are not spiritually ready, cut to the very bottom of their heart and REMOVE THAT FALSE SENSE OF SECUITTY IN THE NAME OF JESUS! AMEN."



Your opinion, and my opinion, do not matter. What you have been taught does not matter. WHAT DOES THE WORD OF GOD SAY? This is ALL that really matters. The remainder of this tract will be WARNINGS DIRECTLY FROM THE WORD OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR READINESS FOR THE RAPTURE! (If YOU are ready, that's wonderful, but how about your family, your friends, and those who sit in the church pews around you?)



In Luke 21, the whole chapter is discussing the End of the Age and the Second Coming of Christ. In verses 34-36, JESUS GIVES AN OMINOUS WARNING TO ALL CHRISTIANS, "and TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES, lest at any time YOUR HEARTS be over-charged with surfeiting (partying), and drunkenness, AND CARES OF THIS LIFE, and so THAT DAY COME UPON YOU UNAWARES. For as a snare (trap) shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. WATCH YE, therefore, AND PRAY ALWAYS, THAT YE MAY BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE ALL these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the son of man (Jesus)."



If ALL Christians were going to take part in this GREAT ESCAPE, WHY WOULD JESUS GIVE SUCH A STERN AND OMINOUS WARNING TO THE END-TIME CHRISTIAN??? This is DEFINITELY a very PERSONAL WARNING for each of us. The subject matter can be nothing but the Tribulation hour and the Rapture. Jesus says to pray always. Surely, Jesus knows that a non-Christian cannot be in an attitude of constant prayer. Surely, non-Christians are not expected to be LOOKING FOR THAT DAY and WATCHING for signs of His Soon Return.



Jesus is continuously talking to HIS FOLLOWERS throughout this chapter. Jesus says to TAKE HEED TO YOURSELF, He is addressing YOUR HEART and He is constantly personalizing this message to YOU, to YE, THE CHRISTIAN! ARE YOU LISTENING? ARE YOU READY???



What can we do, as Christians, to be found WORTHY of the Lord's GREAT ESCAPE, THE RAPTURE? Jesus tells us to be in a constant attitude of prayer. Become so close to the Lord that you can talk with Him about anything. Pray that the Lord would reveal to YOU anything in your life that might keep you from being ready for the Rapture. Then you need to act upon that which the Lord shows you to do.



In this passage, the Lord strongly encourages us to be WATCHING for the SIGNS of His Soon Return, so that we would not be UNAWARE of the approximate time of His Return. Jesus said we could KNOW when His Return was NEAR, EVEN AT THE DOORS! ALL SIGNS NOW CONFIRM TO US THAT HIS COMING IS AT THE DOOR!!!



If you do not have this firm conviction in your heart that our Lord's Return is AT THE DOOR, it is probably because you have not been WATCHING for signs as He continuously admonishes us to do over and over again in the New Testament (Read Mark 13 and 14). Are the CARES OF THIS LIFE your priority, or do you so much look forward to His Return that YOU LOVE HIS APPEARING (II Timothy 4:8) more than the things of this life?

(2 Timothy 4:8)  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

The CARES OF THIS LIFE (Luke 21:34) are what cause us to become "worldly" Christians, or "backslidden" Christians, or "lukewarm" Christians. Luke 21:34-36 (Go back and read it again) strongly implies that these types of Christians ARE NOT READY FOR THE RAPTURE!!!
(Luke 21:34)  And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

(Luke 21:35)  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

(Luke 21:36)  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

In Revelation, starting with Chapter 6, the horrible judgments of the Tribulation are poured out on an unsuspecting world. In Chapters 1-3, there are several WARNINGS TO THE CHRISTIANS IN THE LAST DAYS, WARNINGS BEFORE THE RAPTURE AND THE TRIBULATION IN CHAPTERS 6-19.



The constant theme of Revelation, Chapter 2, is the NEED OF THE END-TIME CHRISTIAN TO REPENT! Rev. 2: 4-5 says, "I have somewhat against thee, because THOU HAS LEFT THY FIRST LOVE. Remember, therefore, from whence thou are fallen, AND REPENT, and do the first works; or else I WILL COME UNTO THEE QUICKLY, AND WILL REMOVE THY CANDLESTICK OUT OF HIS PLACE, EXCEPT THOU REPENT."



If you HAVE LEFT YOUR FIRST LOVE you are a "backslidden" Christian. You need to REPENT and restore your relationship with Christ back to what it should be. Is the Lord speaking to YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW?



Rev. 3:10 says, "Because thou has kept the word of my patience, I ALSO WILL KEEP THEE FROM THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth." The implication of this verse is obvious: If the end-time Christian does NOT stay close to the Lord and endure to the end, HE WILL NOT BE KEPT FROM THE TRIBULATION HOUR!



Rev. 3: 15-16 is ANOTHER OMINOUS WARNING TO ALL CHRISTIANS, "I know thy works, that thou are neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then BECAUSE THOU ART LUKEWARM, AND NEITHER COLD NOT HOT, I WILL SPUE THEE OUT OF MY MOUTH."



Can you honestly give another explanation for this verse, other than the LORD CASTING LUKEWARM CHRISTIANS OUT INTO THE TRIBULATION? What are YOU doing that would show the Lord that you are ON FIRE for Him? These verses say emphatically that their WORKS WERE LUKEWARM.



What happens to the unwatchful SERVANT who believes his LORD is not coming back for a while and is not that concerned about the way he is living his life? Matthew 24: 50-51 says, "the LORD of that SERVANT...shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth (The Tribulation Hour?)." In Matthew 25:30, we see the exact same result for the unprofitable SERVANT. In both cases, there is A LORD--SERVANT RELATIONSHIP ALREADY ESTABLISHED. ARE ALL CHRISTIANS GOING IN THE RAPTURE? WHAT DOES THE WORD SAY???



This world is full of LUKEWARM, BACKSLIDDEN, UNWATCHFUL, AND WORLDLY Christians. In Rev. 7:9, we see a GREAT MULTITUDE, that no man could number, standing before the Lamb of God in Heaven. Verse 14 describes them, "These are they which came OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION, AND HAVE WASHED THEIR ROBES, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." In Chapter 20, it says they were beheaded for not taking the Mark of the Beast.



This great multitude of people already had robes. Your Robe of righteousness is given to you at the time of your salvation. They were already saved but their ROBES WERE DIRTY. These COMPROMISING Christians were caught up in the CARES OF THE WORLD when the Rapture happened and they were cast into the Tribulation hour like the Scriptures had warned them about so many times. They WASHED THEIR DIRTY ROBES in the Great Tribulation because there is no compromise then---IT'S EITHER JESUS CHRIST (and lose your head) OR ANTICHRIST (and lose your soul FOREVER)!!!



Do you really want to have to face that choice? It is clear from God's Word what you must do to be assured of a place in the Rapture. YOU MUST ACT QUICKLY BECAUSE THE TIME FOR THE RAPTURE IS ALMOST HERE!



1. Make sure that you have received Jesus Christ into your life as your PERSONAL Lord and Saviour. If you do find you need Him to be your personal Lord and Saviour please pray the following prayer with me. There is nothing that can compare with a relationship with God or even come remotely close

Heavenly Father I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I confess to You that I am a sinner and cannot save myself. I confess and repent of all of my sins and unrighteousness. Right now I confess with my mouth Jesus as the Lord of my life and believe in my heart that You, God did indeed raise Him from the dead. I thank You for cleansing and forgiving me of all of my sins and unrighteousness and for saving me. I thank You for sending Your Son to die in my place for my sins, and for the inexpressible gift of eternal life that I now claim through the death of Jesus on the cross. Thank You, Lord, again for saving me. In the Name of Jesus I pray Amen

2. Examine your own heart for any signs of backsliding, worldliness, unwatchfulness, compromising, and lukewarmness.



3. REPENT (Turn COMPLETELY away from sin and turn COMPLETELY around towards Jesus). Sin separates you from God, even as a Christian. Feel free to use the following prayer, praying it with me

Heavenly Father I confess these sins(list them) to You and say I am sorry I did these things, doing so by faith thanking You for Your promise in Your word that when we confess our sins You are faithful and just to forgive them and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Thank You for forgiving all my sins and breaking all demonic oppressions, bondages, and strongholds behind them and deliverance from temptation. In Jesus Name I pray Amen



4. Study end-time Biblical prophecy until you become completely convinced that His Coming is, indeed, AT THE DOOR. This will help keep you from temptation and sin. JESUS IS COMING VERY SOON!!! The book of Revelation, Matthew 24, 25, Mark 13, Luke 12, 17, 21 are good places to start.



5. Do something for the Lord. (Passing out tracts would be a good start.)



6. Examine your priorities, lest the CARES OF THIS LIFE cause YOU to MISS THE RAPTURE, as we are so adamantly WARNED about in Luke 21, and so many other Scriptures.



7. Draw closer to God by praying, reading His Word, attending a fundamental church as often as possible, and surround yourself with a Christian atmosphere (Christian friends, books, music, radio, TV, etc.)



8. PRAY DILIGENTLY. ASK THE LORD TO REVEAL TO YOU ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE THAT EVEN MIGHT KEEP YOU FROM THE RAPTURE. PRAY THAT THE LORD WOULD GIVE YOU A PEACE, IF YOU ARE READY, AND AN UNREST AND UNEASINESS IN YOUR HEART, IF YOU ARE NOT READY.



9. Listen for His voice and then STAY OPEN TO THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.



10. Act upon that which the Lord is calling you to do. DO IT NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!



If the Lord has planted the least bit of doubt or uneasiness in your heart, will you swallow your pride and pray this prayer with me:



"Dear Lord, Thank you for preparing a WAY OF ESCAPE from the horrible Tribulation to come. It is my sincere desire to be ready for your Soon Return, so that I can participate in the Rapture. Give me a COMPLETE PEACE IN MY HEART FROM YOU if I am, indeed, ready.

Let there be no false sense of security in my heart concerning my readiness for Your Return. Begin to reveal to me things in my life and in my heart that might keep me from the Rapture. Show me what I need to do to BE READY and then give me the power to act upon that which you show me to do. Draw me away from the world and closer to you every day. Use me in whatever way you can to help others who may not be ready for your Return. Fill me with your peace when I am ready and fill me with YOUR POWER, for victory over sin and temptation, and for effective service for your kingdom. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen."

The words of the Lord that He would leave with you in these last days before His Return, "REMEMBER THEREFORE, HOW THOU HAST RECEIVED AND HEARD, AND HOLD FAST, AND REPENT. IF THEREFORE, THOW SHALT NOT WATCH, I WILL COME ON THEE AS A THIEF, AND THOU SHALT NOT KNOW WHAT HOUR I WILL COME UPON THEE." (Revelation 3:3)



Feel free to make copies of this tract or forward it to your backslidden, lukewarm, compromising, unwatchful, and worldly family members and friends. Do not delay. Time is short. What we do, we must do quickly now.



Maranatha!



God bless you and yours
