BIBLE REFERENCE:

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7


WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT:

I need to start out by saying: this will not be a very popular message to most of the American public, because it is one that very few people have ever studied or heard from the pulpits from their local church. You can mock, laugh or deal with this message however you wish, but these things are written by God so that we would be made aware of what is about to take place. So, you have choice, you can blow it off as fiction or something out of this world and go on with business as usual or you can take it seriously and get right with Jesus Christ and be spared from what is written. I always say, the choice is yours. Here is a bible verse to consider when trying to understand what is written below. 2 Corinthians 4:4; “whose minds the god of this age (Satan) has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.” If you fall into the category of unbelief, you are one with whom this verse applies.


In this world in which we live, there are three main categories in which we are all part of. The first category are those that are running in fear and allowing fear to control and dictate every part of their life. The easiest way to control people is for the government to bring them to a point of fear where they will believe anything they say that might bring them comfort. When in reality, everything thing you hear will actually bring you more fear if you knew the truth. I would love to expand on this, but I’ll get more resistance than understanding because most of the American people fall into this category and believe the lies that are brought to us through the news channels and social media. I will say this, if you are putting your trust and hope in our political leaders and government rule, you will eventually find out that you have been deceived when it will be too late to do anything about it.


The second category are those that know exactly what they are doing to the American people, but they have no concern, nor do they value life. They value only the dollar bill. They are being bought off with not just hundreds of dollars, but in some case billions of dollars. This is the perfect example of what the Bible says about these people. They are a small, but powerful minority that will eventually bring destruction to America. And what we are seeing taking place is just the beginning of what is to come, only on a smaller larger scale then what the bible refers to as (The Great Tribulation). Jesus said this would be a time like no other. Matthew 24:21; “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Let me share with you a few verses in the book of Revelation that most people have never heard nor been taught. There are three categories of judgments that are coming to the world very soon. The first set are the seal judgments, then the trumpet judgments and finally we get to the bowl judgments. The fourth seal judgement say this, Revelation 6:7-8; “When He (Jesus) opened the fourth seal, I (The Apostle John) heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” So, I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.” Revelation 6:9; When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held.” Unless you are blind you have to see that the church is already under server persecution in our country, like never before. Churches in California are being shut down and those that are staying open are being hit with massive fines. This will only get worse if we do not turn away from sin. Christians in America have not yet been put to death for their faith in Christ, but it will eventually happen. If you happen to fall to the rule of the new world order and reject Jesus Christ, here is a very unpleasant verse that will not want to hear. Revelation 16:2; “So the first (one of the seven Angels of God) went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.” This is the first of the final seven bowl judgments. I believe this will come about to all who willingly take the mark of this one world leader who will soon come on the scene. This mark will destroy your DNA and your immune system so you will have no antibodies to protect you from this horrible judgment that will come to all who pledge allegiance to this awful world dictator.


Okay, now I want to get to the good news. The third category are those that have accepted Jesus Christ as their personally Lord and Savior and have put total faith in the true Word of God. Jesus has this to say to those that have been saved by His precious blood. We read in Luke 21:36; “Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” The things that Jesus is referring to are the things that are mentioned in the judgments of Revelation. See, you don’t have to face what is coming. You can submit to Jesus Christ and become born again into the Holy Spirit and be saved from all that is to come, or you can brush this off and hope that I am wrong. Let me make this point, I am not trying to scare anyone into submission, I am warning you in hopes that you will do a little study of your own and see what the Holy Spirit has to say to you. Let me end with this promise from Jesus Christ, John 14:1-4; “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.” This is a promise to you if you turn to Jesus Christ for salvation, why would you reject this offer? Jesus Christ, or the world, what will you choose? God will not force your hand; the choice is yours. Like I said, at the beginning, this is not a popular teaching, but one that must be taught. Take it as you will. “Written To the glory of God and Inspired by the Holy Spirit!” Amen!
