Matthew 7:13, 14
Living Bible {Paraphrased}
13 {And Jesus said} “Heaven can be entered only through the narrow gate! The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide enough for all the multitudes who choose its easy way. 14 But the Gateway to Life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it.
Mathew 24:9-14
Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased}
9 {And Jesus said} Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Matthew 24:9-14
Living Bible {Paraphrased}
9 {And Jesus said} “Then you will be tortured and killed and hated all over the world because you are mine, 10 and many of you shall fall back into sin and betray and hate each other. 11 And many false prophets will appear and lead many astray. 12 Sin will be rampant everywhere and will cool the love of many. 13 But those enduring to the end shall be saved.
14 “And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole, so that all nations will hear it, and then, finally, the end will come.
Today, I talked on my phone with my girlfriend in another State for a while. She was with me in 1991 when I got baptized into the Holy Spirit in an L.A. County jail, and she saw me come out a reborn and Spirit filled Christian. She knows me best. We have a child together.
I began to witness to her about the word of my testimony, "Endure", from Matthew 24:13. I told her what I need to do to endure in order to make the Rapture. When I was finished, the Holy Spirit said to me, "Tell them that". He was talking about you who read here.
So, I want to testify to you who read here for the Lord about the word endure, and what that means to me making the Rapture, because some of you need to apply this same endurance to your walk with the Lord, because some of you will not make the Rapture, and you think you will. God ain't no joke, saint. You think you're going to make the Rapture, you better endure!
I told my girlfriend that I had backslidden for a few years because of the fighting in family and church. Racism and strife. She said that she knows what I mean about my family fights, the strife, and the racism in the churches in North Dakota.
Then I began to tell her that God warned me about missing the Rapture last year because of my backslidings. Nothing matters more to me today, than leaving this life. Nothing can keep me here. Money, not her or anything else. I know what Revelation 12:11 means,
Revelation 12:11
Authorized (King James) Version
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
This means that when I was backslidden a couple years ago, that God gave me a word to bring me back to Him, like I've been dying to come back to Him, but couldn't because I was weak through the flesh. This resurrection and healing of my backslidings gave me a devotion for the Lord and I love not my life unto the death. I'd rather leave this life and be with God than live this life because God brought me back to Him.
And it's been the Devil that's been keeping me down with the trap of persecution. Jesus defeated him and so I overcome the Devil by the Blood of Jesus and by the word of my testimony about His Blood, called ENDURE, and I love not my life unto the death.
I told her that I need to endure to make the Rapture. Apply endure to the fights in my family and church. Where I should get the love that I need, the devil was in control there fighting me. So, I've got to endure to the end and not leave God, when people act like that. I've got to go all the way like Jesus did. In order to keep my heart from turning cold on God, and to keep myself from leaving God in a bruised heart. To fulfill that born again need to please God that dominates every area of my life, I need to not back down from persecution or I can lose my salvation. Going all the way with God and letting them do the persecution, the devil's trap won't trap me in limbo to miss the Rapture.
To be a Christian you can't be Lukewarm. You can't back down when things get rough. You got to ENDURE TO THE END in order to be saved in the Rapture! That's why today God is giving so many people prophecies, dreams and visions of being left behind in the Rapture, because you back down from a fight with the Devil, like I used to.
God gave me my strength back when He said to me a few weeks ago from Matthew 24:13. "ENDURE!" He warned me that if I don't endure, that I'm going to miss the Rapture with you. He said that He's no more coming back SOON, but that He's coming back NOW! This message made me lose my motive to live this life and to want to go to heaven in the Rapture, more than live this life. To love Jesus more than life. Being with God means more to me that living this life.
...And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death..."
That's God's message to you today, people, about the Rapture. That, many of you aren't going to make it because you back down when it comes to persecution. You've got to endure if you want to go to heaven, just like you wanted to go to heaven when you first got saved! God ain't no joke, the devil is violent, and he wants to trap you in a state of limbo and lukewarmness by striking you on the cheek.
When people get into fights and their motive is to help, it makes them want to give up. Preachers can get fainthearted and backslide from God. But you've got to ENDURE TO THE END if you wanna make the Rapture and go to heaven.
In Hebrews 6, the Apostle tells us what the basics of the Christian faith are. Then says that we need to move on in maturity, and then he begins revealing something about Christianity that you backsliders need to hear. The Lord showed me what He's talking about, and I'm going to explain this to you here, because it's in context with this message about how to make the Rapture.
What Paul is saying in Hebrews 6, is that there is something about Christianity that you're not ready to hear about when you first get saved, because its truth can damage your faith, and it's this: YOU CAN LOSE YOUR SALVATION. Someone who just got saved, isn't ready to hear that you can lose your salvation if you don't endure to the end, like the Lord Jesus did.
Let's read Hebrews 6...
Hebrews 6
Living Bible
1 Let us stop going over the same old ground again and again, always teaching those first lessons about Christ. Let us go on instead to other things and become mature in our understanding, as strong Christians ought to be. Surely we don’t need to speak further about the foolishness of trying to be saved by being good, or about the necessity of faith in God; 2 you don’t need further instruction about baptism and spiritual gifts and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment. 3 The Lord willing, we will go on now to other things. 4 There is no use trying to bring you back to the Lord again if you have once understood the Good News and tasted for yourself the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 and know how good the Word of God is, and felt the mighty powers of the world to come, 6 and then have turned against God. You cannot bring yourself to repent again if you have nailed the Son of God to the cross again by rejecting him, holding him up to mocking and to public shame. 7 When a farmer’s land has had many showers upon it and good crops come up, that land has experienced God’s blessing upon it. 8 But if it keeps on having crops of thistles and thorns, the land is considered no good and is ready for condemnation and burning off. 9 Dear friends, even though I am talking like this I really don’t believe that what I am saying applies to you. I am confident you are producing the good fruit that comes along with your salvation. 10 For God is not unfair. How can he forget your hard work for him, or forget the way you used to show your love for him—and still do—by helping his children? 11 And we are anxious that you keep right on loving others as long as life lasts, so that you will get your full reward. 12 Then, knowing what lies ahead for you, you won’t become bored with being a Christian nor become spiritually dull and indifferent, but you will be anxious to follow the example of those who receive all that God has promised them because of their strong faith and patience. 13 For instance, there was God’s promise to Abraham: God took an oath in his own name, since there was no one greater to swear by, 14 that he would bless Abraham again and again, and give him a son and make him the father of a great nation of people. 15 Then Abraham waited patiently until finally God gave him a son, Isaac, just as he had promised. 16 When a man takes an oath, he is calling upon someone greater than himself to force him to do what he has promised or to punish him if he later refuses to do it; the oath ends all argument about it. 17 God also bound himself with an oath, so that those he promised to help would be perfectly sure and never need to wonder whether he might change his plans. 18 He has given us both his promise and his oath, two things we can completely count on, for it is impossible for God to tell a lie. Now all those who flee to him to save them can take new courage when they hear such assurances from God; now they can know without doubt that he will give them the salvation he has promised them. 19 This certain hope of being saved is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls, connecting us with God himself behind the sacred curtains of heaven, 20 where Christ has gone ahead to plead for us from his position as our High Priest, with the honor and rank of Melchizedek.
Don't give up! It is Satan attacking you when you love someone for Christ and they spite your love. It's unnatural. Satan is unnatural. Jesus is supernatural. The enemy's goal is to burn you out and paralyze you by making you an emotional cripple. He has bound your feet with chains and taken you captive by causing you to backslide into sin through pain, and so that your feet cannot bring in the Gospel of Peace. Lucifer, the god of the Orion, has men of God in chains.
Hebrews 12:12-15
Living Bible
12 So take a new grip with your tired hands, stand firm on your shaky legs, 13 and mark out a straight, smooth path for your feet so that those who follow you, though weak and lame, will not fall and hurt themselves but become strong. 14 Try to stay out of all quarrels, and seek to live a clean and holy life, for one who is not holy will not see the Lord. 15 Look after each other so that not one of you will fail to find God’s best blessings. Watch out that no bitterness takes root among you, for as it springs up it causes deep trouble, hurting many in their spiritual lives.
But the Holy Spirit is, at present, being poured out upon all flesh all over the world and people are prophesying, and having dreams and visions of the Rapture. God is warning some and commending others. I was warned to get out of bed and and start preaching or I would be one of those left behind by the Lord Jesus in the Rapture.
God's message woke me up. ENDURE TO THE END TO BE SAVED IN THE RAPTURE! So I'm telling you the same message. Don't give up. Get out of that bed in the power of Christ's Resurrection...come out from apathy and heartache...
There's a movie out there that I saw back in the 90's when I first started backsliding. I forgot the the name of the movie, but there was scene in the movie where a man with a shotgun yelled, "I know right from wrong, I just don't give a ****!" Then he shot some people. That's what men of God become like when we backslide over persecution. We stop caring and begin to backslide because we're hurting. That's what I was like and this is what God is warning us about in Hebrews Chapter 6. You can lose your salvation.
When God told me that I can lose my salvation last year, I came back because I don't want to lose out on being in the Presence of God for eternity. Now, I care again and I don't want to lose God's Presence through backsliding no more. I know what to do to avert getting tripped up by Satan's traps and attacks. ENDURE. The Devil can't make me backslide no more with emotional attacks.
I'll tell you one thing, it's not me hitting you people when you try to attack me, it's the Archangel Michael. I know some secrets through prophecy and these mysteries are for the mature who are losing their salvation.
God's Angels can possess Christians too like demons do. Michael and the other Archangels walk in and out of me and speak through me with the Lord Jesus, the Father God and the Holy Spirit. I was told that I have the "Spirit of the Golden Dragon". That's a Martial Arts term. It means that you fight like Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee told us when he was alive, that it wasn't him fighting. My hands and feet move by themselves. But it's the Holy Spirit, The Golden Dragon, He's called in the Orient.
The Golden Dragon means that you don't have to be taught Martial Arts like everyone else. That, the Master is in you. Not only does the Lord and His Angels fight in you against the enemy, but they fight when you're asleep. There are people who tell me they saw me fighting and running fast as an animal in fights over the past few years. Possessed by God. I'm ready to die for the Lord and also to go to heaven, but He isn't letting me, lol. I'm not ready to die yet because I have to bring you people back to the Lord with some more messages and works.
When I moved last Summer to this town, I fought a bunch of demons from the Temple of Set. I won. It happened in my sleep. This means that I got up while asleep and didn't know I was fighting. I woke up toward the end and I saw the Lord whoop them in me. I was hitting demons in the face hard in the Spirit and they were backing off. Humans can't hit a spirit. But you can in the Holy Spirit. Only Christians can do this. When you do, you should see how scared demons get to get hit. They leave you alone. They never came back.
I want to explain something to you about endurance to encourage you. The Bible and I are talking about fights with Satan in this Post. When Saints back down from Satan because they're afraid to get hit, you've got to endure to the end to make like Jesus did. He resisted evil to the point of blood shed.
About fights: I learned in prison in California back in the 80's that people are afraid to fight because they fear pain. To fight, you can't fear pain. I used to be afraid to fight and afraid to get hit when I was a kid. My friends in my gang used to fight me back then and hit me to show me that getting hit doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt. You just THINK it will. If you can get past your fear of pain with Satan, you're going to win the fight and endure to the end, because you're not going to fear pain.
Winning a fist fight with Satan isn't the point. That's not how you win a fight with Satan. You win by not backing down in fear of physical pain. You win by not resisting evil, or, by not responding with violence. You win by overcoming evil with good. You're a man and not a punk if you're not afraid to get hit.
Apply that to facing evil in this world. Turn the other cheek! That's when Satan loses cos he can't make you become bitter and backslide into sin, or, depart from God in an evil and unbelieving heart, when he hits you. That's what I'm talking about. ENDURE TO THE END TO MAKE THE RAPTURE!
Matthew 5:38, 39
Authorized (King James) Version
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39 but I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Matthew 5:38, 39
Living Bible
38 “The law of Moses says, ‘If a man gouges out another’s eye, he must pay with his own eye. If a tooth gets knocked out, knock out the tooth of the one who did it.’39 But I say: Don’t resist violence! If you are slapped on one cheek, turn the other too.
Romans 12:16-21
Authorized (King James) Version
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:16-21
Ling Bible
16 Work happily together. Don’t try to act big. Don’t try to get into the good graces of important people, but enjoy the company of ordinary folks. And don’t think you know it all! 17 Never pay back evil for evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honest clear through. 18 Don’t quarrel with anyone. Be at peace with everyone, just as much as possible. 19 Dear friends, never avenge yourselves. Leave that to God, for he has said that he will repay those who deserve it. Don’t take the law into your own hands. 20 Instead, feed your enemy if he is hungry. If he is thirsty give him something to drink and you will be “heaping coals of fire on his head.” In other words, he will feel ashamed of himself for what he has done to you. 21 Don’t let evil get the upper hand, but conquer evil by doing good.
I close with Jesus' warning to the Lukewarm...
Revelation 3:14-22
Authorized (King James) Version
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; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 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: 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. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 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. 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. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
If you want to make the Rapture, you've got to endure like I am and like Jesus did. LOOK TO JESUS, who resisted against evil to blood shed. That's what it takes, friends, to make the Rapture.
Hebrews 12:1-4
Living Bible
12 Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us.
2 Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and instructor. He was willing to die a shameful death on the cross because of the joy he knew would be his afterwards; and now he sits in the place of honor by the throne of God.
3 If you want to keep from becoming fainthearted and weary, think about his patience as sinful men did such terrible things to him. 4 After all, you have never yet struggled against sin and temptation until you sweat great drops of blood.
CONSIDER JESUS who was faithful to God to the end and did not backslide, and do likewise to "Enter In" to heaven in the Rapture. Don't back down. Be faithful to the end like Jesus did, if you want to make the Rapture.
Hebrews 3
Authorized (King James) Version
1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; 2 who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. 3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. 4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. 5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; 6 but Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, 8 harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 9 when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. 10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. 11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
I am a soldier of the Lord fighting in this war between Jesus and Satan. The Lord had a message for me written thousands of years ago by my Apostle, the Apostle of the Gentiles, Paul, about enduring hardness.
2 Timothy 2:1-7
Authorized (King James) Version
1Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
2 Timothy 2:1-7
Living Bible
1 O Timothy, my son, be strong with the strength Christ Jesus gives you. 2 For you must teach others those things you and many others have heard me speak about. Teach these great truths to trustworthy men who will, in turn, pass them on to others. 3 Take your share of suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ, just as I do; 4 and as Christ’s soldier, do not let yourself become tied up in worldly affairs, for then you cannot satisfy the one who has enlisted you in his army. 5 Follow the Lord’s rules for doing his work, just as an athlete either follows the rules or is disqualified and wins no prize. 6 Work hard like a farmer who gets paid well if he raises a large crop. 7 Think over these three illustrations, and may the Lord help you to understand how they apply to you.
I'm saying here that the Apostle Paul wrote 2 Timothy 2:1-7 to me long ago. He wrote it to Timothy, but it also teaches me today just like it did Timothy back then, and also does you who are learning to endure.
Paul called Timothy a young man. I'm 52, but I'm still young in the Lord. I'm learning the lesson of eudurance just like everyone else does after they've been a Christian for a while. Once the sufferings start, you got to learn that you can lose your salvation if you don't endure to the end.
The Rapture
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Authorized (King James) Version
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. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 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. 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: 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. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
