How to Make the Rapture
Activate your faith. Get ready to go meet God. What God is saying about getting ready for the Rapture, is that you need to get up and go; to get ready to go. To leave this life and go to heaven in the Rapture, you need to be getting up (from laying around) to meet God everyday when He calls you to do something. Don't just sit around, get up and go. This means to listen to God when He calls you from laying around your house to go to church, to the store, to a restaurant. Where you go doesn't matter. Listening to God and going where He says to go, when He says to go, is what counts toward making the Rapture. Cos when you can get up and go meet God in this life, you'll make the Rapture with no problem cos you're ready to go meet God already.
Whenever God tells you to go somewhere, it's to meet Him. If He tells you to go to a store to get some food, going is what counts cos it is God that you're going to meet at the store through your obedience. Listening to God in this life is meeting God. The Rapture is meeting God in the sky for eternal life. When you listen to God and meet Him everyday, you're ready to meet God in the sky at the Rapture.
Just get up and go to meet God today. Not knowing where you're going. But in the motion of going, God will give you instructions on where to go cos God is always moving. He's never laying around. Those who lay around God sees as a bug. God calls you "the grasshopper" if you want to lay around instead of go to meet God in your obedience. God created the grasshopper to lay around and to hop in the grass. That's what you're like to God when you don't listen to Him and go meet Him in obedience. You need to stop hopping around in the grass and do what God says to be His child. Otherwise, you look like a grasshopper to God.
The Power of God's Word
Healing
The Word of God Dictates Circumstances
The word of God dictates circumstances. Not people. When circumstances dictate the word of God, for example, healing, to them, people are mentally conditioned to accept God's blessings if circumstances allow. For example, while driving through a rainstorm, it was a mild storm so I had the windshield wipers set to low. As I came to a stop sign, the windshield was blurry because of the rain (this has happened many times), that. when I got to the stop sign, I needed the windshield wiper to clear the rain off the windshield so I could see. It was my turn to go. It was a conditioned mindset that developed of me expecting the worst of having to wait instead of the windshield wiper to clear the windshield so I could see. But the windshield wiper cleared it and I got blessed. I said, "perfect". And when the human that's Spirit filled is in that blessed mindset, the Holy Spirit likes it and He'll bless you. He smiles upon you and hugs you spiritually.
And I realized that this blessed mindset is how God wants us regardless of circumstances. The Lord is waiting there to bless you like that if you believe His word, His goodness, His promises, that you will always have the victory. So that we don't have to wait for circumstances to go our way to get in that victorious, Christian and spiritual mindset where the Lord blesses you because you believe.
The Lord wants us like that all the time, regardless of circumstances, so we use the word to shape our circumstances. We don't wait for circumstances to go our way to have that victorious mindset that comes from believing the word. We use the word. That's all it takes is a thought of victory over circumstances for you to get that spiritual and victorious mentality, and where the Lord blesses you with peace for it. And it's just a thought away. And you've got to believe the word over the circumstance. Let the word dictate your circumstances. Don't let circumstances dictate your faith or that victory mindset or the Lord's blessing for believing in the power of His word over circumstances, because you won. The Lord wants us to be winners in our minds all the time. So, we have to believe His word and use it to dictate our circumstances. Don't let circumstances keep you in a defeated mode of it in control of your life. And the only time you allow the Lord to bless you, the only time you feel like you won, is when it goes your way. So, use the word to dictate your circumstances.
This would imply the meaning of faith scriptures like Mt. 21:18-22 and Mk. 11:12-26 where Jesus said that if we will believe in God and will not doubt in our heart that whatever we say from what He said will come to pass, we will have whatever we say. And this is the will of God, that He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, we know that we will have whatever we desired of Him (1 Jn. 5:14, 15). Faith in God calls those things that do not exist into existence (Rom. 4:17).
Heb. 11:1 says that faith in God is the substance of things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen. Rom. 10:17 says that faith in God comes through hearing the Bible. So, the more we hear the Bible, the more faith it creates in us to speak control over our circumstances. Like God said, "Let there be light, and there was light" (Gen. 1:3). Whatever God says, comes out of what He said. So, I would say, my paraphrase of Heb. 11:1 is "the word of God". Instead of "faith" say "the word". So, let's paraphrase it.
"Now, the word (God's promises are) is the substance of the things we hope for. The word is the evidence that we will have them because God promised them, though we don't see any natural way to obtain our desires today".
God's word, or, His promises, is the substance and the evidence of the prayer of faith. Which means to let God speak to your circumstances when you speak your Bible based faith. Speak God's promises to whatever it is that you want to change so that you have the victory and God's blessing; that victorious mindset and God being pleased with you and blessing you for your faith in Him, and saying "yes and amen" to you.
For example, in Mt. 21:18-22, the Lord Jesus walked up to a fig tree and it had no fruit on it to feed the Son of God. So, Jesus cursed it and said,
"May you never bear fruit again forever!"
And the Bible says that immediately it withered away. Then the disciples asked Jesus how He did that. Jesus replied in verses 21 and 22,
"If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive".
My paraphrase:
"If you will believe that God, through the hearing of His promises in the Bible, will give you whatever you ask Him for, and will not doubt that He will give you what you ask for because He promised it to you in the Bible...ye will say whatever it is that you want...and you will have whatever you said. And you will receive from God anything that you want when you pray Bible based prayers of faith in God".
I left out the words about the fig tree & the mountain in Mt. 21:21, 22 to make the point about faith. That faith is God's word. God's word, the Bible, is the substance and the evidence of Heb. 11:1, and Rom. 10:8 calls God's word, "the word of faith".
The prayer of faith (1 Jn. 5:14-16) is taking the word of faith and praying God's promises in it back to God. If God's word says that you will have whatever you want because it's promised to you by God in the Bible, then can you believe it? If you can't, the answer to doubt is the word of faith. If you got problems believing that God will do for you what He's promised in the Bible, then keep reading the Bible! Because faith in God, or, the ability to believe that God will do for you in your life what He's promised you in the Bible, this faith in God comes, or, is created in you by the Holy Spirit, by hearing the Bible! One can never lose faith whose eyes are stayed on the Word! Those preachers who said, "I think I'm losing my faith". That will never come out of your mouth! Only the Bible will come out of your mouth!
God's Word Is the Answer to Life
Whatever it is that you want when you pray, believe that you will receive, and you will have it, because God knows what we need before we ask Him (Mt. 6:24-34). Therefore, ask that you will receive. Knock and it will be opened. Seek and you will find (Mt. 7:7-11). God has promises of victory over everything in life. So that you'll always have the victory over circumstances, as David did when he said,
Psalm 30:11 Authorized (King James) Version Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
And when Isaiah prophesied about Jesus in Isa. 61:1-3, God gives us comfort, joy for mourning, beauty for ashes. And again, it says in 2 Cor. 1:20 that everything in Christ Jesus is "yes and amen".
2 Corinthians 1:19-20 Authorized (King James) Version 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. 20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
Study the Word to get God's promises that speak to your circumstances (2 Tim. 2:15). Speak the word of promise in faith knowing that what God says is going to recreate that circumstance into His will for your faith. If it's your healing, then you speak Isa. 53:5 to your sickness, "By His wounds I am healed!" "I am the God that heals you" (Ex. 15:26). And you keep speaking these faith promises, the word of promise and the word of faith, until your healing comes. It could be months. Change the circumstance to God's will. Because when God looks at you sick, He says, "You're healed". But you see your disease not God's promise of healing, the word of healing.
That's what Jesus said to me,
"You say you have sleep apnea because you believe in sleep apnea. Not in Me. You say you're sick (with sleep apnea) because you believe in sickness. If you believe in Me, you would say that you're healed, because I see that you are healed. I don't see that you're sick when I look at you."
"If you shall say to this mountain, "be plucked up from the earth and be cast into the sea", it shall obey you, and nothing shall be possible for you" (Mk. 11:22-26/ Mt. 17:19-21).
"Jesus will take that CPAP mask off. That isn't going to heal you. I am, when you listen to Me. Now take it off".
When the Lord says that I believe in sleep apnea, He means that I believe in my CPAP machine. That, I believe that my CPAP machine's going to heal me of sleep apnea instead of believing that Jesus is going to heal me of sleep apnea.
God says, "Darrin believes in his sleep apnea. He keeps using it and he won't ask Me to heal him".
(Stay tuned. Not finished. More wisdom from God and editing to come. The message when Jesus said that you believe in sleep apnea and not in Him, is in your messages about meeting God around message 100 on your recorder. Combine the messages here)
