HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE RAPTURE READY? This is a question I ask myself everyday! I dont know, I really dont know. Jesus said that the Pharisees (that obeyed the law and prayed without ceasing and that knew the scriptures) would not enter the Kingdom! The Pharisees are the ones that sit in the front seats in church, give their tenth, appears to be righteous, but love their own titles, themselves more than Christ. Jesus says they know the law, but they do not keep the law. Matthew 23:1-25 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, Saying , the scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on mens shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries (a small leather box containing Hebrew texts on vellum, worn by Jewish men at morning prayer as a reminder to keep the law), and enlarge the borders of their garments, and love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and chief seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, even Christ. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte (a person who has converted from one opinion, religion, or party to another), and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye pay tithe (a tenth) of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgement, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat (small fly), and swallow a camel. For ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Matthew 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. There are so many Pharisees these days; they include Pastors, Rabbis, Ministers and Preachers who lead many astray with their false teachings. I am really terrified that I, or even worse, one of my daughters or my granddaughter might be left behind! How do we know for sure! We have been taught by those we trusted most to celebrate pagan holidays like Christmas and Easter, this falls into the same category as idolatry, and we know God despises idolatry! We were taught to honour Sunday as the Sabbath instead of Saturday, this must be an abomination in Gods eyes; throughout the Bible God makes it very clear that we must keep the Sabbath Holy! I know all these things, yet it is very difficult in todays corrupt world to keep Gods Sabbath on Saturday when the rest of world does so on Sunday. I love gardening, and having just moved into a new place with no existing garden, I have a lot to do. I can only work in the garden over week-ends, but I can no longer manage my garden by myself, I need help to do the heavy labour, but it is very difficult to find help on a Sunday because our labour law insist that you pay double on a Sunday (I can ill afford a normal wage, let alone a double wage), and the help that are trustworthy go to church on Sunday! So what should I do? The devil gives me 2 choices; let the garden go to waste or dishonour God by working (with help) on the Sabbath. I have been listening to my reasoning voice that says that God is a loving God, He will understand, just repent, but I am starting to think that I am in grave danger; I am deliberately disobeying Gods orders! Jesus first coming was for our salvation; with His blood he washed away our sins. He taught us to love Him and our neighbour, to seek peace instead of war, to be humble instead of proud, to forgive and to live in righteousness; and when He was resurrected He gave us the Holy Spirit to guide us. His second coming is to judge! We were given all the tools to live righteously; we were given the Holy Ghost to help us in recognising the differences between right and wrong and Gods word as a comfort, as a strength, and as a sword against the enemy; yet we chose to ignore ALL HIS warnings. Are you ready for the judgement that is soon to come? I know Im not. It is only by the grace of God that any of us will rapture. God knows what is in your heart! He knows the real you. All your charity, all your prayers, all the hours spent reading and memorising scriptures, all the Sundays spent at church; NONE of this will get you into His Kingdom if your heart is wicked! My working in the garden is a simple example of how easy it is to disobey God and to fall into satans trap. Please do not follow satan, do not be lead astray by the world. We are running out of time; Jesus is coming to fetch His bride (the true and faithful believers) soon, very soon. Are you ready? I know I still have a lot of obstacles to overcome, thus I pray for you and me: Dear God, our Father, our ONLY Father, on earth and in heaven, please forgive us for disobeying your laws, for allowing satan to lead us astray. Dear Father, strengthen us against the devil and his evil followers, give us the strength to distance ourselves from this world and the pleasures of the flesh! Anoint us with your Holy Spirit; fill us with your peace, love and grace. We are Your servants, we plead with You to have mercy on our souls; we beg for your forgiveness and humble ourselves at your feet. You are the ONLY God, we worship NO other. Oh Holy Spirit of God, lead us unto the path of righteousness, and help us to clearly distinguish between right and wrong, for we are weak, and the devil is a master of disguise; he does his utmost to deceive us. We pray for Your great wisdom, and please help us to see with our spiritual eyes, so we will not be blinded by satan, his demonic followers or his world. Dear God, we desperately seek an intimate relationship with you, and we except Your only begotten son, Jesus Christ, as our Saviour and our King. Thank You for loving us enough to allow Jesus to be tortured and crucified so that we may be saved. Although we are not worthy, we are eternally grateful. Please cleanse our hearts and our souls with the blood of Jesus Christ, and give us the strength to stand strong in the midst of our enemies. Please help us to become more righteous, so You will find us worthy to escape Your great wrath to be released on earth soon. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen! Dearly beloved, please do not take this lightly, as time is running out. We are at the door, get yourselves ready, and put on your gown of righteousness, for you do not want to miss the departure of the bride of Christ. Whoever is left behind is going to suffer the most horrific deaths. Soon we (Christians all over the world) are going to be persecuted for our religion. You will have only 2 choices: 1) Sell your soul to the devil and except the mark of the beast to enable you to buy food, thus condemning yourself to hell eternally or 2) Get tortured and killed because of your religion but save your soul. During the Great Tribulation, the latter is most definitely your ONLY choice! I know that to most of you this sounds like a horror movie or crazy talk, and most of you will not even read this, but for those of you that have read this to the end, I urge you to wake up. Jesus is knocking at the door, pleading with you to open your heart and to allow Him to save your soul. Millions of Christians are going to be shocked because they are left behind, and they will curse God because they truly believed in Him but followed men. Unfortunately you need to turn your back on this world, your church, your family and/or everything else that is keeping you tied down to satan and his wicked ways. It is not easy, but you have NO OTHER CHOICE! May God have mercy on us all! Amen!
