BIBLE REFERENCE:

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Matthew 7: 7-8.


WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT:

From the moment that Jesus Christ died and then rose again on the third day, the door to salvation was open for all who would come to the saving grace, knowledge and understanding of the gift of salvation through His shed blood on the cross. We have had about two thousand years to take advantage of this most wonderful gift called grace. Sadly though, throughout the history of the last two thousand years of mankind very few have taken this gift serious.


It is written clearly in the scriptures that one day the door of grace will close and all those that rejected this wonderful gift, will suffer horribly through what the Bible refers to as the “Great Tribulation.” If you reject this gift, there is no way to escape the horrors of what is in the very near future. Everything that the Bible says would happen prior to this event has already happened or is happening as we speak. The next event on the prophetic calendar is the catching up with the Lord for all those that have been born-again and have given their life over to Jesus Christ. There is no other way out, you will enter this seven-year period of time where all those that are left behind will suffer the wrath of God that is coming to the unbelievers or better known as the earth dwellers. The Bible clearly states, “Believers are not among these earth dwellers, for the earth dwellers ultimately hate believers: John 15:19; “If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you” If you choose to ignore this truth or deliberately choose to reject this truth, you will stand before God at the “White Throne Judgement” and you will be condemned for all eternity outside the presence of God all mighty. Just to put this into perspective, here is a reality of what it will be like. You may notice that the world is spinning completely out of control. Understand this, God is still in control and behind the scenes of everything going on, however, he has given much control over to Satan for one last shot at deceiving the world. Only those that know Jesus on a personal level will understand what is happening and what is about to come. The rest of the world will be caught off guard because they have chosen to do so. The Word of God speaks this very disturbing bible verse in Matthew 7:13-14; “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it, because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” This means that only those that chose to follow Jesus will be the few that this verse refers too. The world is the wide gate and the road to salvation is the narrow gate. Which gate are you going through?


Give yourself a gut check, are you believing all he lies and propaganda that is being spread throughout the world or are you staying loyal to Jesus and trusting that all things will work for the good to those that follow Him. You can’t go both ways; it is the world or Jesus Christ. You can’t say that you trust in Jesus and then trust in the false social media for guidance. Here is a wakeup call that the Bible tells us will happen in the end days. I’m going to share the following four bible verse and you decide if you see these things happening today. Matthew 24:24; “For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.”

1 Timothy 4:1; “But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,”

2 Timothy 4:3-4; “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.”

2 Thessalonians 2:3; “Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,”


These are Words that the Holy Spirit gave to devout men to proclaim to the world. These days are here whether you chose to believe it or not. Remember, ignorance of the law will not apply when you stand before God just before sentencing. You will either stand before God at the “White Throne Judgement” or you will be excused from that judgement if you gave your life to Jesus and trusted in His propitiation for your sins. If you trust in Jesus your slate is squeaky clean and there will be no sins left to judge you by. They will have been paid for by Jesus Christ. We read these last words from Jesus as He hung on the cross, John 19:30; “When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished." And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Jesus is referring to the sins of those that will accept His free gift of grace.


Pretty simple, if you ask me. You can choose to believe or reject the truth. God will not invade your sovereignty, so the choice is completely up to you, life through Jesus Christ or death for all eternity. Believe what you will, but truth is truth, and nothing you say or do will change what is about to come to the world. Please, do not ignore this warning, there may not be many more opportunities to receive Jesus Christ, today could be the last day. One never knows for sure what tomorrow will bring. “Written To the extreme glory of God and Inspired by the Holy Spirit!” Amen!
