The End Time Harvest Of Souls Is Not Coming Soon, It Is Here! This Is It!
The Lord says,
"This message is about coming Home!"
John 4:35-36 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 35 {And Jesus said} Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. 36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
This is what the Lord says today to 3/4's of the world's population:
"This is the end time harvest. I have begun it. Be zealous and repent! For, My Spirit is being poured out upon all flesh to help you stop sinning and creating death in the Fold. I have lost none but the backslidden who died like a wasted tree planted by a stream of Living Water. Who would do such a thing?! To murder My prize possession?! None but the Serpent of old. That great demon of the Deep, Belial of the hosts of the wicked, whom this wayward servant is fighting in the midst of you all in church. He (Belial) is not My home, as you are who hear the Word go forth from My mouth to not return to Me void, like his does when he speaks a lie to My face, and then slithers down the slopes of the Almighty's chambers of deep darkness in secret things not known to your world".
Now, cast not down the world for not knowing Me. But rather, show them their sin against me is pride and lasciviousness", said the Lord Creator of all in existence.
The End Time Harvest Is the Unity of the Spirit And the Unity of the Faith
Ephesians 4 Authorized (King James) Version 1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. 17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18 having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19 who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But ye have not so learned Christ; 21 if so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27 neither give place to the devil. 28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. 29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
The Lord told me that we are in that end time harvest prophesied about in the Bible. I call it The Great Awakening. God is waking us up out of the slumber that keeps us unprepared for the Rapture (Eph. 5:14-21). Christians are living in careless ease and impatience toward Christ's return (Lk. 21:34-36). The church is not ready for the Rapture.
But the Lord is preparing His Bride for this Rapture to heaven, or, for the marriage wedding feast of Christ, the Lamb (Rev. 19:1-9). Only God can make us ready for the Rapture (Jn. 15:1-8/ Zec. 4:6).
The Christian life is a work of God. Without Christ, we can't do anything. This great end time harvest called the unity of the Spirit and the unity of the faith, is presently starting with a great awakening about preparing for the Rapture.
This end time harvest began in the Spring of 2020. It began when the coronavirus began to spread to everyone. The revival was well under way by Sunday, April 12th, 2020, which was Easter 2020. That was the day that I was revived from backsliding and was given a job to remind everyone, for the Lord, about the Rapture. This is what my website here is all about. www.fromthelordjesustoyou.com.
This is the Great Awakening message that I got from the Lord Jesus on February, 8th, 2021, (the Winter of 2020) about the Great Awakening to the Rapture,
The Great Awakening
We're Not Ready For the Rapture
Many Who Think They're Ready For the Rapture, Will Not Make the Rapture
A Prophecy to This World From the Lord Jesus Christ About Not Repenting and Hell
(Not For Kids)
This is the Lord Jesus speaking to you today through the gift of Prophecy
Before you begin reading the rebuke from the Lord Jesus below, the Lord wants me to acknowledge the children reading this message with their Mom. The Lord isn't telling the children that He doesn't want them. God is talking to adults who don't want Him. So this message isn't for you kids. The Lord is talking to adults here about something. This is not a message for the babies. But babies are welcome on my Page. The messages here aren't for kids. But kids can read them. I'll make messages for the kids and in the beginning, it'll say "For Kids". Or, "Not For Kids".
"I'm going to watch you die like a fish in the air! You're one of My Lambs. You act dumb around Me like I don't know what you're doing in sin! How can I not see when you're before My Face? Everyday I see the sicknesses you have in your body that you don't know are there".
"Do you know why you're tired? Because I said for you to be. You're losing to Me. I said do not sleep but to be awake for My return. To have your robes washed in the Blood of the Lamb, means to sacrifice your daily needs to live before Me in obeisance".
"This is not My Son you have helping you. He's a Preacher from the Illuminati. The Illuminati are the fake church. They're dying with this world when I come. There'll be no one left but Me and My servants".
"If you are sleeping, ask Me to get you up. Only I can make you ready for I am the Groom, not the Bride. When I call, you come. Now listen, I say to you, Do not sleep next to this diseased horse in this house. You don't know that it's in there. It's hiding from you and feeding on your giblets".
"You're not a Preacher because I said not to be. Stop playing with My mind. I see you in here. I know you're not prepared. This is why I've come before My return to cast you out from this church in order to prepare you (for the Rapture)".
"Do you know why your eyes are heavy? Because I'm making them close because you're not ready to meet Me. If you were, I'd have you walking among the living doing the work of an evangelist. Instead I have you in this house shut up like a nomad with no one coming to see you but your pets".
"See? I have you living like this because you're not the one I want to return to me from this world. You have been rejected by Me like Saul for doing your own way instead of Mine".
"Now ask Me to be needy and make you repent of your works, of your own thoughts, to be ready for Me. because I cannot use thee in My Kingdom above".
"You need to be on a straight and narrow place for Me to see thee. I cannot see thee hence, for thou art not mine own. This is the Devil's plan to get you before meeting Me. It's by helping you. Looking like the God Jesus of Abraham who helped those of this life. Thistles and Thorns were they above Me in My Crown. They hurt so bad I felt the stings of hell and the grave. But this blood be not mine. For I saw the truth behind the glory of the statue in a house that I once rode".
"The story means that you will not meet Me because you are mean to Me. For you are the one that I have struck blows upon. This is the way that God wants you, with no one to love you so that you cannot come to Me. It is People that see the Light that you need to come to Me. But they will not come because your house is dark".
"You need to get on your knees and ask Me to use you in this last hour. This final generation does not know that I am here. I am already in the sky watching for those that want to come".
After I Posted this Prophecy, I went to sleep. I woke up a few hours later and I thought the Holy Spirit left me. I felt crazy...a dead feeling inside me. Like I wanted to die. I felt like I was about to break out into fits of psychotic crying. I thought to myself, "The Lord left me. I got nothing to live for. I want to die". Then the Archangel Michael said to me,
"Don't worry. That was just the Lord crying".
So I wasn't going to hell. After a few hours I returned to normal. That was the Lord crying for the people He spoke this Prophecy to and to some He's going to leave in Hell forever. That's how bad Jesus feels for those who reject His Grace. Psychotic fits of crying. Wanting to die. Abandoned. My body would have come apart if the Lord had allowed me to feel His pain any longer. No human body can take that pain of loss the Lord feels for those He's losing to Hell and Satan. We have no idea how much God loves this human race. We have no idea how bad Hell is going to be.
Through the Baptism into the Holy Spirit, or, because the Lord lives in me through the Baptism into the Holy Spirit, I was feeling what Jesus was feeling for the lost and the dead...psychotic fits of crying. Wanting to die. Not wanting to live without us. Nothing to live for without us.
Archangel Michael is giving me a message from the Lord Jesus for us right now about Hell...
Michael started by saying to me,
"The Lord knows what it feels like to be in hell".
Now the Lord Jesus speaks this to me about Hell,
"It's like being devoured by a Lion. You fight, kick and scream but you can't do nothing. So you let it happen".
Think on what it's like to be devoured by a lion...to be eaten alive....you fight, kick and scream but you can't do nothing. So you let it happen. Think about that over and over until you get the reality of what Hell's like, and repent. That powerless feeling is what you're going to feel every second, forever...that's what the Lord Jesus and the Archangel Michael are implying with those two sentences above, about Hell.
An Angel of the Lord speaks...
"Do you know why He's talking to you about Hell"?
"Who are you"? I asked.
"Gabriel", he said.
Then Archangel Gabriel continued saying,
"He's talking to you about Hell because that's where you'll be without Him. He wants you to know what it's like there, because you're going to be there for a long time".
Implied. Archangel Gabriel means that I'll be there, you'll be there, we'll all be there for a long time (eternity) WITHOUT Him. But I have the Lord in me. Do you? So the Lord wants us to know what Hell's going to be like because in His Prophecy above, which He opened this Post with, the Lord is crying for some souls that He's losing to Hell...so think about it.
The Bible says this in 1 John 1:9 (AKJV)
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
We don't have to go to Hell. We can repent. The thought of God and the Archangels Michael and Gabriel in this message, or, the theme of this message, is, REPENT. So I'm going to ask Jesus to give me a Bible passage on repentance for you...
The Holy Spirit said,
"That's it"...He pointed to 1 John 1:9 on this page...
The Lord wants me to tell you what that diseased horse is that He's talking about in His opening message above. He wants me to put up a trailer from the movie called "The Ritual" on Netflix. It's about a demon horse. The Devil. That's who Jesus is talking about is in your house. The Devil. Check out the movie.

The Great Awakening to the Rapture
After reading that prophecy, can you understand that this revival is an awakening to the Rapture? The Great Awakening is the end time harvest of souls that brings the Rapture. It is the Unity of the Spirit and the unity of the faith prophesied by the Apostle Paul above in Ephesians chapter 4. The Lord told me last month that the first problem that He's going to deal with in this end time harvest of souls, is denominationalism, because it is preventing the end time harvest.
Ephesians 4:4-6 Authorized (King James) Version 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
What Is Denominationalism?
Denominationalism is churches divided into sects over doctrine from unity of the churches in one faith. People have formed their own churches; divided into sects, to avoid arguments that arise over their beliefs about what the Bible teaches. Denominationalism is Sectarianism.
Define Denominationalism:
1: devotion to denominational principles or interests. 2 : the emphasizing of denominational differences to the point of being narrowly exclusive : sectarianism.
What is the meaning of denominationalism? Definition of 'denominationalism' 1. adherence to particular principles, esp to the tenets of a religious denomination; sectarianism. 2. the tendency to divide or cause to divide into sects or denominations.
Define Sectarianism:
What does sectarianism mean? Sectarianism occurs when members of different denominations within a faith display bigotry and prejudice toward each other. Examples include the Sunni and Shia within Islam, Orthodox and Reform within Judaism or Protestants and Catholics within Christianity.
In order to unite into one faith, the churches need to stop splitting into sects over doctrine. Romans 10:17 says that faith in God comes from the Bible. So, the faith that all churches are to unite into, is the Bible. The Bible is the faith. The division of the churches comes from what people think the Bible is saying. The unity will come when people stop fighting over the Bible. The true church leaders hear from God (Jn. 10).
Ephesians 4:11-16 say that the true church will stop the fighting and bring spiritual maturity and doctrinal unity called the unity of the faith. Ephesians 4:14 says that the rest are spiritual infants, babies in Christ, who fight over the word. This passage implies that children fight and adults unite. Children aren't able to teach. Children need to learn from the mature. God considers us all children. Those He makes leaders in the Church, are the ones He has taught to be able to teach others.
The Christian life is a work of God. He does it all through us. This unity will come before the Rapture. Only those taught of God will prepare us for the Rapture through the unity of the faith.
Without God, We Cannot Do Anything In Church
John 15:1-17 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 1 {And Jesus said} I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
God reaches out to us.
1 John 4:19 Authorized (King James) Version 19 We love him, because he first loved us.
Then God guides us throughout life.
Psalm 32:8 Authorized (King James) Version 8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
Isaiah 58:11 Authorized (King James) Version 11 and the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
In the end, God saves us.
Psalm 48:14 Authorized (King James) Version 14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
John 10:27-30 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 27 {And Jesus said} My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.30 I and my Father are one.
The Lord does the works in us. God initiates everything. The Lord worked in Christ and He works in us.
John 14:10-12 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 10 {And Jesus said} Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
John 20:21 Authorized (King James) Version 21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
Luke 9:1-6 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 1 Then {Jesus} called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. 2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. 3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece. 4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart. 5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them. 6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
2 Corinthians 5:18-20 Authorized (King James) Version 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
God works in the true church. The true church hears from Jesus ands teaches the church and lead us to unity and to the Rapture. The rest divide over doctrine.
The Great Awakening Is A Revival Awareness to the Rapture, Not to the Coronavirus
I was told by the Lord when the coronavirus hit last year, that people He died for were crossing over to the other world into flames. They were entering Hades because they had not yet repented and accepted Christ. You don't know the future. It is smart to repent today so that if death strikes, you will be ready to cross over into the eternal safety of the Lord's Hands and avert the eternal flames of Hades.
I thought that the Lord began the Great Awakening last year because of the coronavirus due to His message to me that people were dying and going to hell over the coronavirus. No. When I asked the Lord the reason for this sudden revival, He said that it's to prepare His people for the Rapture. This is what the Lord told me the other about why He suddenly revived me from backsliding on Easter last year,
"The hour is late. There is no time to repent. You need to die to make the Rapture".
And die I did. Last week, the Archangel Michael told me that the Lord killed "the partier" in me (Lk. 12:42-48). This is what the Lord says about His people that party instead of listen to His Word:
"This is how My children are when they leave Me. They try to find life and meaning in the bottle or on drugs. But they don't. They try to find that euphoria they once had in My Son".
I needed this death in my heart and I love it, though it kills me, because this death makes me put Jesus first. That's all I want because I don't want to miss God's Call to heaven in the Rapture. Those who miss the Rapture, will be wiped out and may never get another chance to make it to heaven.
This Death sentence also applies to everyone on earth that was unprepared last year for the Lord's return...if the Lord would have returned last Easter in the Rapture, were you ready, or, were you in sin? Did you have skeletons in the closet, or, were you going to heaven in the Rapture? According to the Lord, not many would have, or, will, make the Rapture. The only way, according to the Lord Jesus, that I will make the Rapture, is through this death sentence to the partier in me that He sentenced me to last Easter.
What has the Lord done for you last year in His great love to get you to heaven in the Rapture? He wants us home with Him and according to the Lord, the hour has come for the Rapture!
Why Many Will Not Make the Rapture
Matthew 7:13-14 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 13 {And Jesus said} Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
The Lord told me many times since Easter last year that many will not make the Rapture. According to the Lord Jesus in the above scripture passage of Mt. 7:13, 14, another way to say that many will not make the Rapture, is to say that few will make the Rapture.
There are many reasons why that many will not make it. Whole books can be written about why many will not make heaven who believe in Jesus and who go to church. In John chapter 3, the Lord Jesus told us that only those that have been born again will make it to heaven, or, make the Rapture.
First, I want to give you a couple reasons about what I know personally about why many who profess Christ, will not make it to heaven when Christ returns in the Rapture to take His Church to heaven. Then, I'll show you how to get born again, so that you can become a genuine Christian and make the Rapture when Christ returns from heaven for you.
Basically, the reason that these many people will not make the Rapture, is because they have not been born again. They simply believe in Jesus. They're religious folks that have not been born again. They're still spiritually dead from sin. They have not been resurrected to eternal life by the Holy Spirit through faith in Christ, or, born again. The Lord Jesus said in John chapter 3, that people go to heaven when they have been born again by the Holy Spirit through faith in Him. Those that will not make the Rapture are false conversions.
They Will Not Make the Rapture That Do Not Understand Grace
The Worldly Minded
Ephesians 2:8-9 Authorized (King James) Version 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast.
Those that do not understand salvation by grace, believe that people get what they deserve. They believe that they deserve salvation by their good works. They don't know that they need to be saved by God's grace. Not by their good works. They believe in earning salvation with good works apart from being born again. Good works get us to heaven after we've been born again (Rev. 22:14). Good works cannot save us without getting born again. "If I'm good, I go to heaven. If I'm bad, I go to hell". These people need to be born again.
This type of belief in getting saved by good works before getting born born again, is the work of the Devil. In Genesis chapter 3, the Lord told Mankind not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, or they would die. Satan then told them a half truth/lie that they would not die. That they would not die after disobeying God was the lie. But that they would become like gods and know good from evil. This was the truth.
What it means to be gods and know good from evil, is that instead of listening to God, as in not eating of this tree of death, that we got the power to create our own right from wrong. To create our own Word. To create our own Bible. The truth is that we become gods, or, godlike and godly, not by the knowledge of good and evil, or, having the power to create our own good and evil. But by learning from God's Word, or, learning the truth, about what good and evil are from God (Ps. 82).
Psalm 82 Authorized (King James) Version Psalm 82 A Psalm of Asaph.
1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. 2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. 3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. 4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. 5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. 7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. 8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
Mankind were already gods in the beginning, children of God, because God created them to live by what God says. Satan lied and told them that to be gods is to know good from evil. Mankind believed this because they didn't understand that their purpose was to listen to God, and not to create their own good and evil. Naive children tossed around by every lie of the Devil because they had no standards to learn from. Satan molested the soul of Adam and Eve that day. Today, we have the Word to grow on so that we will not be tossed around by the Devil.
Ephesians 4:11-16 Authorized (King James) Version 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Today, this means that our own sense of good and evil is not the truth. They are illusions to the truth. The truth is God's Word, not our own. Jesus is Lord and what He says is right and wrong. God's Word is the standard of right and wrong and of good and evil. If we create our own path of good and evil, we die because mankind is created by God to live by what God says, as in not eating from the tree of death of knowing good and evil.
God's Word teaches us good from evil not our own word of good and evil. We cannot learn good from evil from ourselves. We learn this from God. The Bible exercises our senses to discern good from evil. Not our own creation of good and evil apart from God's Word.
Hebrews 5:12-14 Authorized (King James) Version 12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Today, when we get saved by God's Word, we have to repent of our own good and evil. This knowledge of good and evil is what constitutes the sins that we confess and repent from when we put our faith in Christ to get born again by the Holy Spirit. From the knowledge of good and evil, comes the belief that if we're good, we go to heaven and if we're bad, we go to hell. But the truth is, or, God's Word says, that to get to heaven, we need to put our faith in Christ and get born again by the Holy Spirit.
The Lord Jesus overcame where Adam sinned. This was making the Word of God preeminent to food. This is also what we are to do today when it comes to the knowledge of good and evil. We forsake our own senses of right and wrong and let the Bible, God's Word, teach us right from wrong.
In Genesis 3:6, Mankind saw that the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was good for food, and they ate it. They put food, the knowledge of good and evil, before God's Word. Their sin was disobedience.
This is what the Lord says about the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
"I didn't plant it. It was put there by Satan to make man kill himself by disobeying Me".
The Lord Jesus Corrected What Mankind Did
Mankind's sin was disobedience to God's Word. They chose not to listen to God and to create their own right and wrong. But the Lord Jesus put God's Word before food in Mt. 4:4. The Lord corrected what Mankind did. Mankind ate the food. The Lord ate the Word. The Lord did what Mankind should have done and was supposed to do i.e, live by God's Word instead of by the knowledge of good and evil. The Lord did defeated Satan where Satan defeated Adam.
Matthew 4:1-4 Authorized (King James) Version 1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
This is what the Lord says to those who believe that good works get them to heaven apart from being born again,
"You are not going to make the Rapture because you profess faith in good works and not in My saving Arm".
In the beginning, God created mankind to live on every word that comes from God's mouth. But mankind chose to live by their own word of good and evil. This choice paralyzed their senses so that they lost sight of God's word about good and evil. They died spiritually. The sense of good and evil is dormant inside of us when we're born. It is revived by using God's Word (Heb. 5:11-14).
Then God gave the law. The Ten Commandments (Ex. 20). It's morality showed mankind the truth about what good and evil really are. Then God, with the born again experience, reversed the death of sin which knowing good and evil brought. Knowing the law, or knowing good from evil, didn't save them. Showing us that God's Word gives us eternal life today. Not knowing good and evil. Good works save us only after getting born again, not before (Rev. 22:14). Before salvation by getting born again, knowing about good and evil is only knowledge. It doesn't save us because knowing God, or, Jesus God's Word, not good and evil, saves us.
So the Lord created the born again experience to save mankind in order to bring them back into fellowship with God where listening to God's Word, or what God says, is our purpose in life. Not creating our own path of good and evil.
Many Will Not Make the Rapture Because They Believe That Going to Church and Giving Money to Their Pastor Will Prepare Them For the Rapture
The Misled
In one of my blogs written in the Spring of this year here on this site, the Lord once told me to pray for & write about a type of unbeliever that will not make the Rapture. They are church goers who pay regular offerings to their pastor. He told me that these people are presently hearing everywhere from me that the Lord is about to return. And upon hearing this truth, they said to eachother, "Oh no! We better get to church and give the pastor some money"! These people believe that they'll make the Rapture by going to church and giving money to their pastor. They need to be born again.
Believing in Jesus doesn't get you to heaven. Going to church doesn't get you to heaven. Giving money to the pastor doesn't get you to heaven. Nether does reading the Bible, praying or preaching. Getting born again is what gets us to heaven in the Rapture. These things matter only after getting born again.
The Lord also told me something else about these people: that they want to go to church and give their pastor money to prepare him for the Rapture, because they believe that Jesus is coming only for church leaders. They believe that Jesus is going to leave the church pews behind and take only the pastors.
They are the misled. There are passages in the Bible that they misunderstand that the Lord wants me to expound on here for Him so that whosoever reads here, may understand that heaven is for anyone that wants to go!
They misunderstand and misinterpret Psalm 15, for example.
Psalm 15
Authorized (King James) Version
Psalm 1
A Psalm of David.
1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. 3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. 4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. 5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
They see themselves as falling short of those that will dwell in God's Tabernacle in heaven. They call it the 11 Commandments. Those that will make it to heaven, to God's tabernacle (Heb. 8:1, 2),
1) Walks uprightly
2) Works righteousness
3) Speaks the truth in his heart
4) Does not backbite with his tongue
5) Does no evil to his neighbor
6) Does not take up a reproach against his neighbor
7) A vile person is contemned in his eyes
8) Honors them that fear the Lord
9) Keeps a promise even if it ruins him
10 Does not charge high interest
11) Will not take a bribe against the innocent
They misunderstand Romans 3:23. They believe that they will not make it to heaven because they fall short of God's glory by not obeying Psalm 15. They can't keep these commands and believe that the pastor does, and thus, that only the pastor will make the Rapture in church.
Romans 3:23
Authorized (King James) Version 23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
They also believe that if we are guilty of one sin, then we are guilty of breaking the whole law. Which is true. But once we are born again and justified by faith, there is no more sin except NOT believing in Jesus, because we are justified by faith in Christ.
James 2:10-11 Authorized (King James) Version 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
If you sin as a Christian, simply repent. No problem. Jesus is there to help in those trying times.
Romans 8:26-28 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And {Christ} that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Hebrews 7:20-25 Authorized (King James) Version 20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: 21 (for those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:) 22 by so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. 23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: 24 but this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
James 5:13-18 Authorized (King James) Version 13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
1 John 1:9 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 9 If we confess our sins, {God} is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Whosoever Meaneth You & Me
The Lord told me that they need to understand John 3. That only the born again will make the Rapture. These people are born again but fall short of obedience to God just like everyone else does. So they will make the Rapture because they've been born again.
John 3:16 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased 16 {And Jesus said} For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
In Jn. 3:16 above, when the Lord Jesus said "Whosoever believeth" means that anyone that believes in Jesus, will make it to heaven. That means you. If you believe, you will be born again once you pray Rom. 10:9, 10.
Justified By Faith
The Lord told me that these believers need to understand right standing with God. Right standing with God isn't accomplished by obeying Psalm 15. Psalm 15 is a description of what people are like in heaven after they've been born again. We are justified with God by faith, not by works, when we get born again.
Romans 4:3 Authorized (King James) Version 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
Galatians 2:15-20 Authorized (King James) Version 15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. 17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. 18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Simply believing in Jesus is how to get born again by the Holy Spirit. This what the Lord Jesus means throughout John chapter 3. Please read it to understand for yourself. People are made right with God by simply believing in Jesus. Not by obeying Psalm chapter 15.
So you are going to heaven in the Rapture with your pastor, if you've both been born again.
They Will Not Make the Rapture Because They Worship the Human Will
Colossians 2:6-23 Authorized (King James) Version 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 in whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. 20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 21 (touch not; taste not; handle not; 22 which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
Just because you obey the Bible, doesn't mean you're going to heaven. You need to be born again. The Apostle Paul tells us in Colossians 2, above, that those that do not know God, use their will to obey Jesus instead of the Holy Spirit. With their will, they look wise and show humility toward God and neglect the body. They are believers but not born again. They believe in Jesus, admire His graciousness, but they have not been baptized into the Holy Spirit. God is not in them. So they are not born again. They will not make the Rapture though they are believers.
James 2:18-20 Authorized (King James) Version 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
The Will Worshipers Have A Form of Godliness, But Deny the Power
2 Timothy 3 Authorized (King James) Version 1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. 10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Born Again, Or, Salvation, Is the Baptism Into the Holy Spirit
Titus 3:4-7 Authorized (King James) Version 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 that being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Luke 10:18-20 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 18 And {Jesus} said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Acts 1:8 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 8 {And Jesus said} But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
1 Corinthians 12:1-11 Authorized (King James) Version 1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 but all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
Jesus Said That People Go to Heaven When They Get Born Again By the Holy Spirit
Through Faith In Him
John 3:1-21 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, {Born again by the Spirit} Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 13 {through faith in Christ} And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up {on the Cross}: 15 that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
False Conversions
What Are False Conversions
I'll let God reveal here now what false conversions are. There are two biblical passages on the Parable of the Sower in Matthew and Luke. I pasted both passages for your complete understanding of God's teaching about each of the three false conversions that God talks about in these two passages.
According to the Lord Jesus in the following passage, only one in every four Christians will make the Rapture. Three out of every four, will not make the Rapture. The Lord told me recently that, more than half of the human race since the beginning, will make it to heaven. But only in the end time, will most of the world population not make the Rapture. Which is today.
It seems to us in the last days that we are losing the Battle because only one in every four will make the Rapture. But most of the human race as a whole since the beginning, according to the Lord, will make it to heaven.
I have heard in the Spirit and had confirmation on it from a well known preacher, that pastor John Hagee from Cornerstone Church, is one of the men that the Lord Jesus is coming for in the Rapture. The Lord called him a true prophet. The Lord told me to listen to Him. So I point you to him whom the Lord exalted. Pastor John Hagee. The Lord also told me that Joyce Meyers is going to make the Rapture, to name two for now. If you want the list of who's going to heaven in the Rapture, ask the Lord for it. It's not my job in church to tell you who's names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Rather, repent and unite in order to hasten the Lord's return! That's what I'm here to tell you for the Lord.
Luke 8:4-15 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, {Jesus} spake by a parable: 5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. 6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. 8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? 10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. 14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. 15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
Matthew 13:1-23 Authorized (King James) Version 1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. 2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. 3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 4 and when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 5 some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6 and when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 8 but other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. 9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. 10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15 for this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. 18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. 20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 21 yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. 23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
From the aforementioned scripture passages above, the Lord Jesus is revealing what false conversions are. Again, the Lord is telling us in these passages that many will not make the Rapture. That most believers in the world, sadly, are false conversions.
In this analogy of true and false conversions, the Lord Jesus shows us that there are three types of false conversions on the broad road to destruction, and that there is only one true conversion on the narrow path to heaven.
The Three False Conversions On the Broad Road to Eternal Destruction In Hell
1) Those by the way side.
2) Those upon the rock.
3) Those among thorns.
Those By the Way Side
The Unbeliever
The Lord Jesus says about the believers by the way side, that when they hear the Bible preached or taught, that the Devil comes immediately to steal the Word from taking root in their hearts to prevent them from believing and getting saved, or, to prevent a true conversion from being birthed by faith.
This is a false conversion because Jesus said that these people heard the Bible's message on salvation by God's grace through faith in Christ, but they never got saved. Those by the way side were not even believers. The Word of salvation was stolen from their hearts before the Word could take root and create faith, or, make them a believer and a true conversion could be birthed as a result. The Devil stole the Word from their hearts before they got born again. Those by the way side are those who heard about salvation, but never got the chance to believe. They are unbelievers. These are those who will not make the Rapture. Sadly, this is most of the world then and today.
Those Upon the Rock
The New Believer
The Lord Jesus says about the believers upon the rock, that, before the messages on salvation from the Bible that they heard could create a genuine conversion, they were offended by the attacks of Satan and they turned from God and the Rapture like they were an option in life. Much like turning from a college class that's not for them. You hear them say things like, "I live for my best interests and safety. I will not be a Christian because my life was in danger".
These are the people you hear saying that they tried Christianity and it was not for them. Or, those who in offense, an offended person, argue about the unfairness and cruel and unusual punishment of being a Christian. The scorching heat of persecution made them turn before a genuine conversion could be birthed by faith. These are believers in Christ who will not make the Rapture. Sadly, this is most of the world then and today.
Those Among Thorns
The Backslidden Believer
I was one believer among the thorns and backslidden. I was choked and unfruitful due to the deceitfulness of riches and the cares of this life. The Lord told me this year that my sin is idolatry. That's what the deceitfulness of riches and the cares of this life are called. The two scripture passages that God used to make me understand my sin of idolatry and to repent of it in order to put Jesus first, are Lk. 12:13-56 and Mt. 24:9-14.
The Lord Jesus in Mt. 24:9-14 tells me how to come out of backsliding due to the cares of this life, like persecution, and to thus make the Rapture: you endure to the end. You fight back by not backsliding when persecuted. You remain faithful to scripture to the end of life and you produce fruit thereby to make the Rapture.
The Lord Jesus in Luke 12:13-56 tells me to put God first in priority over riches so that I can make the Rapture. Notice that the Lord begins in this passage talking about riches, then next talks about putting God first in priority to riches. Then ends it by talking about His return, or, the Rapture. Implying that, those who come out of idolatry and put God first in preeminence to idolatry, will make the Rapture.
The believer among the thorns, are those like me, that, are believers and have been Anointed. But, they have backslidden due to idolatry and persecution and the fourth example, the true conversion, has the answers that those among the thorns need in order to repent and to make the Rapture. Sadly, most of the world then and today, will NOT make the Rapture...
The True Conversion
The True Believer
The true conversions, are believers on the narrow path to heaven in the Rapture. Who, according to the Lord in Lk. 8:15, keep the word with patience. People like this are true conversions and, according to the Lord's Word, will make the Rapture.
The Lord in Mt. 13:22, 23, says that the true conversions are those who instead of becoming unfruitful, bear mass fruit because they understand the Bible.
So, if you're any one of those three false conversions on the road to hell, what you need to do today is what I did last year when I learned all this. REPENT! Repent of your unbelief. Repent of your offenses. Repent of your backslidings. And instead, stay in the Word and live the Bible through it all. We come to understand the Bible when we keep studying the Bible. The more you study the Bible, the more you'll understand it. And apply what you understand about the Bible to your life. Live the Bible. Obey God no matter what. This is what the Lord Jesus means in Lk. 8:15 when He says to Keep the Word with patience. You hear the Word and keep the Word to bring forth fruit through patience.
Hebrews 10:35-37 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 35 Cast not away therefore your confidence {of heaven}, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience {in persecutions}, that, after ye have done the will of God {in spite of persecutions}, ye might receive the promise {of the Rapture}. 37 For yet a little while, and {Christ} that shall come {in the Rapture} will come, and will not tarry.
To make the Rapture, we've got to study and live the Bible no matter what. We keep studying and we keep applying what we understand through it all because this will make us worthy to make the Rapture.
Bible Study And Obedience Make the Three False Conversions Into Genuine Conversions
The Devil is the reason why the first false conversions, those by the way side, become unbelievers who will not make the Rapture. The Devil defeats these people by stealing the Word; what they heard about the Bible, from their hearts and they remain in unbelief in Christ instead of believing and getting saved. But studying in Bible and applying what you understand will defeat the Devil and make a true believer out of you and thus, make you worthy of the Rapture.
Bible study and obedience are also the answers for the second false conversion, those upon a rock. This person needs to stay in Bible study and obedience no matter how much pain they experience because of Bible study and obedience.
Bible study and obedience will bring the third false conversion, those among thorns, back to God out of backsliding in sin. You keep God first and keep studying the Bible and living it instead of being impatient and sinning in idolatry. Endure in patience.
Basically, the three false conversions can repent and make the Rapture if the study the Bible and apply what they understand no matter what to the end! You get into Bible study and do what you understand and this will create faith in God in the unbeliever. You keep studying the Bible and you keep doing what you understand from your studies in the face of temptation, tribulation, persecution, offense, idolatry and survival, and this will convert those on the rock and those among thorns. Endure in patience to study and obey the Word of God to the end. This is the only way to become a true conversion and to get on the narrow path to heaven in the Rapture with us. Faith and obedience begin with repentance (see Rev. chapters 2 and 3).
About Mt. 13:1-23 and Lk. 8:4-15, the Lord said this to me,
"You understand what I said there. I'm saying not to let the Devil steal your salvation because the Bible brings him to fight".
How to Get Born Again
This new eternal life with God in Bible study and obedience, begin with a prayer and getting born again. This is what needs to happen to those by the way side, the unbeliever, so that they believe in God and get saved to make the Rapture. Getting born again is the first step to the Rapture for all three false conversions because only those who get born again, will go to heaven. After you get born again, endure to the end in Bible study and obedience.
Romans 10:6-17 Authorized (King James) Version 6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 and how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Take verses 9 and 10 above from Romans chapter 10, and paraphrase it in your own words. Next, speak it out loud at church. When you do, it'll be a prayer of faith to get you saved. That's all it takes to get saved. The prayer of faith to get saved, or, the prayer of salvation, comes from the word of faith.
The Bible brings the Holy Spirit. Once you pray the prayer of faith for salvation, the Holy Spirit will next fall upon you suddenly (Acts 2:1-4). By suddenly, I mean what the Lord Jesus did in Jn. 3: 7, 8, that, the Holy Spirit is like the wind. No one can tell which way He will go next to give eternal life in the born again experience. The born again experience is salvation (Ti. 3:4-7). If you believe in Jesus, go to church, give money to the pastor, pray, read the Bible, preach, but have not been born again, your conversion is false.
Thus, the Holy Spirit may fall upon you after you are baptized in water, or, before. The Holy Spirit is like the wind. You cannot predict when or or how he will fall upon you and get you saved, or, born again. But, He will come upon with eternal life suddenly and in power, like the wind.
The Holy Spirit may fall upon you after water baptism.
Acts 2:38-39 Authorized (King James) Version 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
The Holy Spirit may fall upon you before water baptism.
Acts 10:43-48 Authorized (King James) Version (Paraphrased} 43 To {Christ} give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Have You Received the Holy Spirit Since You believed?
I ask whoever reads this blog that believe in God, the same question that the Apostle asked a crown back in his day, recorded in Acts 19:1-7, have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?
Acts 19:1-7 Authorized (King James) Version 1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, 2 he said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism. 4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. 7 And all the men were about twelve.
You will know that you have been baptized into the Holy Spirit because when the Holy Spirit falls upon you suddenly, there are signs that follow. These signs are the nine gifts of the Spirit recorded in 1 Cor. 12:1-11.
1 Corinthians 12:1-11 Authorized (King James) Version 1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 but all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
The 9 gifts of the Spirit are,
1) The word of wisdom
2) The word of knowledge
3) Faith
4) Healing
5) Miracles
6) Prophecy
7) Discerning of spirits
8) Tongues
9) The interpretation of tongues
One or more of these signs will be in you when you get baptized into the Holy Spirit, saved, or, born again. All three are the same experience.
If you don't have the Holy Spirit and want to be baptized into the Spirit, the Lord Jesus taught us long ago that if you want the Holy Spirit, to simply ask God for Him. This means to ask God for the baptism into the Holy Spirit in the prayer of faith for the Holy Spirit and Fire (Lk. 3:16).
Luke 11:5-13 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased} 5 And {Jesus} said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 for a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? 7 and he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. 8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. 9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Once you are saved through the baptism into the Holy Spirit, you can accelerate the Rapture! If you want to go to heaven, bring the Lord back by obedience!
Hasten The Rapture
2 Peter 3:8-13 Authorized (King James) Version 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
What to Do to Prepare For the Unity of the Faith According to Ephesians Chapter 4
To Hasten the Rapture
Ephesians 4 Authorized (King James) Version 1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. 17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18 having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19 who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But ye have not so learned Christ; 21 if so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27 neither give place to the devil. 28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. 29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
The Rules of Revival
For the Unity of the Faith
These instructions in Ephesians chapter 4 on how to come to together in the Unity of the Spirit and the Unity of the Faith, speak for themselves. Let's begin. Below, I am going to surmise the commands for the revival of the end time harvest for you from Ephesians chapter 4:
The Unity of the Spirit
Stop Fighting and Make Peace Through the Holy Spirit
1) Vv. 1, 2. Walk worthy of the vocation, or, your calling in ministry; your job in Church, where you have been called to by God, by using humility, gentleness and patience toward all Christians.
2) V. 2. Forbear all Christians in love. This means to use the love of God in your hearts to make allowance for each other's faults.
3) V. 3. Endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. This means to follow the Holy Spirit into peace and unity by stop fighting.
4) Vv. 4-14. I surmise these ten verses into one command: Unite into the faith by diminishing the denominationalism.
5) Vv. 1-4. Stop fighting over doctrine and unite into love and peace because there is only one faith.
6) Vv. 7-10. Christ has given all of us the grace we need to stop fighting over doctrine and to unite into one faith. So ask the Lord Jesus for the motive to unite over divided doctrine.
7) V. 11. The grace of Christ to help us stop fighting over doctrine and to unite into one faith, comes through church leadership. The apostles (the New Testament), prophets, evangelists, pastors and Bible teachers.
8) V. 12. The grace of Christ uses church leadership for the work of the ministry, which is to perfect each individual Christian and edify each individual Christian out of discord over doctrine and to unite into one faith.
9) V. 13. The grace of Christ that helps us unite over doctrine through church leadership, is progressive. Christ through church leadership is maturing all of us into the unity of one person, Himself, through the unity of the Bible. When we are correct in doctrine, then we become one mind, the image of Christ.
10) V. 14. Spiritual immaturity, or church division, is not understanding the truth in the Bible. Men, not demons, create denominations and cause divisions because they don't understand the Bible. Christ through the church leadership will mature our understanding of the Bible so that we become one in faith, or, the image of Christ. No variations. One faith. All for One, and One for all.
11) Vv. 15, 16. Speak the truth in love. To speak the truth in love unites us into the unity of the faith, or, the truth of the Bible. It disseminates denominations and division and creates unity in doctrine. Erroneous teachings, or, spiritually immature doctrine, is where denominations come from. Denominations create division. Churches are divided over teaching and prophecy. Everyone thinks they're right. Everyone gives their opinion of the Bible. But when people learn to see what they Lord is saying in the Bible, then there will be one faith united over correct Bible teaching and prophecy, or, united by what God says. When people speak the truth, they unite in love instead of divide over wrong teachings. To speak the truth in love is how to start the unity of the faith. We find the truth in the Bible when all churches have meetings to share their insights of what the Bible says instead of divide over doctrine. People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care.
Proverbs 15:21-23 Authorized (King James) Version 21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly. 22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established. 23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
Unite Into Love Is What Creates Unity
12) V. 17. A vain mind.
13) V. 18. Alienation from God created by a blind and ignorant heart derived from not being born again and not knowing the Bible.
14) V. 19. Alienated from God, they are desensitized from natural affection for other people and are whoremongers who covet the unclean acts of fornication. They are greedy for lewd acts.
Ephesians 4:17-19 is describing Gentiles. Immoral people who don't know God, or, who haven't been born again to a relationship with God. They are partiers, whoremongers, with no feelings for people. People with no purpose for life, become whoremongers. They live off the feelings of orgasm for stimulation because they have not the love, joy and peace that comes from a relationship with God to stimulate their reason for living.
These kinds of people need to get born again. Once people get born again, they can begin to love each other and unite in faith through the Spirit. Speak the truth in love to unite in love from moral depravity.
Create the Unity of the Faith With the Word
15) Vv. 19-22. If you're born again, create the unity of the faith by using the Bible to sanctify the deceitful lusts of the old flesh nature.
16) V. 23. Create unity by renewing your mind with the Bible.
17) V. 24. Create unity by obeying the Bible in order to become a new person.
18) V. 25. If you're born again with the Bible and the Holy Spirit in you, create unity by not lying to others, but instead, speak the truth of the Bible in love to others.
19) Vv. 26, 27. Create unity by not abusing others when your angry. Deal with your anger before you go to sleep. Create unity keeping the devil out of your relationships and being responsible for your anger. This will create unity by keeping God in control of your relationship with others.
20) V. 28. Create unity by not stealing from others. Instead, sanctify the thief in your heart by using your hands to work good things for those in need.
21) V. 29. Create unity by stopping corrupt talk from coming out of your mouth. Create unity by sanctifying the dirty talker in your heart by using the Bible to speak things that make people into better persons by helping them.
22) V. 30. Create unity by not grieving the Holy Spirit with mistreatment of other people. The Holy Spirit is the one who takes us to heaven in the Rapture. So we need to please Him, not grieve Him.
23) V. 31. Create unity by sanctifying with the Bible all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, evil speaking, and all malice.
24) V. 32. Create the unity of the faith by being kind, tenderhearted and forgiving to all Christians instead. Christ has forgiven us, so we must also forgive others to please the Holy Spirit and also to hasten the Rapture.
Understanding Ephesians chapter 4 and doing what it says, will create the unity of the faith for this end time harvest of souls! Amen.
The Lord Jesus is Waking Up His Church to Prepare Them For the Rapture
Through it all, I believe that the motive for the unity of the faith, is to make the Rapture. That was my reason for repenting last year. I believe that the Holy Spirit is doing the same thing to the Christians all over the world that He did to me last year. He visited me when I asleep and woke me up with a warning that I'm not going to make the Rapture if I don't get up and start repenting and preaching.
The church is divided today into sects all over the world. What is strong enough to make people repent and unite like never before? That if they keep fighting, they're going to miss the Rapture. Who wants to go to heaven? If you value your salvation and if you value making the Rapture, repent and unite because the revealing of the antichrist that precedes the rapture is at hand.
People don't want to miss the Rapture.
If people know what God is telling them today in this Great End Time Awakening, they'll repent and unite. The message from Christ to the church today through His prophets, is that, IT'S TIME FOR THE RAPTURE.
The End Time Revival Precedes the Revealing of the Antichrist
The Revealing of the Antichrist Precedes the Rapture
"It's Time!"
Said the Holy Spirit...
Acts 2:16-21 Authorized (King James) Version 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 and on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19 and I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 20 the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: 21 and it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
1 Thessalonians chapters 4 & 5
Authorized King (James) Version
1 Thessalonians 4 Authorized (King James) Version 1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. 2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4 that every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 5 not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: 6 that no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. 8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. 9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. 10 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more; 11 and that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; 12 that ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. 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.
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. 12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 13 and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves. 14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. 15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 16 Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19 Quench not the Spirit. 20 Despise not prophesyings. 21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 25 Brethren, pray for us. 26 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. 27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren. 28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. The first epistle unto the Thessalonians was written from Athens.
2 Thessalonians chapters 1 & 2
Authorized (King James) Version
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 2 grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; 4 so that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 5 which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 6 seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7 and to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10 when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: 12 that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14 whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 17 comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
The Lord has a message for us about the Unity of the Faith. After we have united and are doing our personal part to hasten the Rapture, the Lord says this,
"The Lord will walk among His people after the unity of the faith, to see if they are ready for Him. If they have their eyes closed, He will leave them. If they are watching Him come and go, He will leave them not".
The Lord walked among His church in the Spring of 2020 to see if we were ready for the Rapture. We were not. So He made a Rapture Awareness Call to prepare His Church for it because they were sleeping when He came to check on them.
Again, sometime in the future, I may not be here when the Lord comes again before the Rapture to check on us. But He will come and walk among us again to see who is ready for the Rapture. Some of us want to prepare for the Rapture because we don't want to lose our salvation. We don't prepare for the Rapture because we love the Lord enough to prepare for it. I am one of the Christians who repented because I don't want to miss the Rapture. I got saved long ago because I don't want to go to Hell. But the Lord commanded us to obey Him because we love Him (Jn. 14:15-21).
For those who repent in order to make the Rapture, they are baptized into the Spirit and are in fact God's children who need to learn to love the Lord more. For them, as it was for me, this revival will begin with a revival of their Anointing, of their spiritual lives, which they will see rather as a death to self. In the end, they will be ready because they will love the Lord more than life and will not want this life in the least (Lk. 14:25-35).
For the rest, your eyes are open. This means that through the Word's teachings on how to prepare for the Rapture, such as Mt. 24:43-48, for example, you are obeying the Gospel and thus, your eyes are watching the Lord in the air at all times cos you're listening and ready. Proving you love the Lord. They see Him "come and go", as He said above.
For the rest of us, our eyes are closed. We are asleep and not awake and ready for the Rapture. For us, we must die to be made ready. A revival of the Anointing of the first love.
Revelation 3:1-6 Authorized (King James) Version 1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. 4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. 5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
