'Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the Lord. Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.' Jer 6: 15-19
Jesus Christ = salvation and everlasting life. Free gift. Offered to all.
Do you really run your life? Are you 'in charge'? Master or mistress of your own destiny?
Hmmm.
If you are not in Christ Jesus, you are owned. By Satan.
Please don't shrug this off. Give this statement some serious consideration. Look into this for yourself. Properly I mean - actually dig and investigate. Don't take my word for it or anyone else's for that matter.
If what you find doesn't lead you to Jesus Christ as your personal saviour, I don't know what will.
Here's a link to this chap's You Tube chanel. Have a look and see what you can see. Maybe you'll peel back the covers just enough to disturb you into action...by looking with your eye(s) open.
Jesus Christ is God, the Word made flesh, the Son of God and the Way, the only Way to eternal life with the Father (in heaven). You NEED Him as you personal saviour because your 'good works' won't and can't be enough to pay for your sin. Religion(s) won't do it. Being a good and kind hearted person won't do it. Believing there is a God of some sort isn't enough (Satan himself belives that, and he's seen Him!).
Drop your self-righteous pride and get humble. Come to Him as you are. He's waiting for you right now and He won't turn anyone away.
"Excuse me Sir, can I give you something to read - when you get a minute?"
With visible suspicion, he cocks head to look. "What is it?"
I hold the small tract, arm outstretched towards the man. He's half holding it, I'm half holding it.
"It's a gospel tract". The man stares down at the thin paper booklet, still holding it, but with a perplexed look on his face. He's not sure what a 'tract' is.
"A what?"
"A gospel tract - about Jesus Christ".
And there he goes. Practically running down the street. Without the tract.
There's power in the name of Jesus Christ.
And yet...
...if he'd quelled his initial fear and actually taken the tract, even if he read it and then straightaway binned it, dismissing it as rubbish, one day, when he has cause to give his eternal future some genuine consideration, he might remember the message of the cross, written on that scrap of printed paper.
Sadly, most folks harden their hearts to the gift of salvation. And off they go, running off a cliff.
Put frog in saucepan of cold water Turn on heat Bring to boil slowly Serve when done. Well done.
Wouldn't it be so cool to have a micro-chip surgically implanted in the palm of your hand, maybe even into your brain. So convenient. Especially when you inevitably forget your wallet and need to pay for groceries. Your phone battery is dead of course too, typical. And don't forget tracking those pesky kids! Always out playing somewhere. Hey! You'll need one of those chip things as part of your job contract, you know, so you can get paid, 'cause cash is soooo yesterdays news and nobody accepts paper money in the shops now anyway do they?
And it's almost here...
Rev 13:16-17
then...
Rev 19:20 or Rev 20:4 (depending on what you choose).
Or
You could accept the free gift of Jesus Christ as saviour RIGHT NOW and get saved!
Jesus Christ is God. By the awesome grace of God almighty, He has promised never to turn away anyone who comes to Him through faith in the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ. Not of works, just by faith. Available to all that come, broken, repenting, humble.
Let Him in and He'll redeem you, cleanse you and give you the gift of the Holy Spirit to lead you into the only real, tangible truth. Only Jesus Christ reconciles the lost to God the Father. Only Jesus Christ saves!
It's high time you jumped out of the steadily warming saucepan my friend.
The only election that matters is the election of Grace, and that is given by God Himself to everyone that believes on the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ.
And how do you get elected to the only thing that will really matter to you?
Make Jesus Christ your saviour, that's how. Repent, turn back to Him.
He's going to physically rule and reign here pretty soon anyway and His campaign bus is going to be awesome - literally!
His form of government is totally and utterly perfect and righteous, corruption free and pure. Holy. The result is a foregone conclusion. The righteousness of God, the body of Christ - won!
Praise God that includes me! (and could include you too, but that's up to you.)
'Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.' Ps 2:9
'And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter
shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.' Rev 2:27
'And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a
rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.' Rev 12:5
'And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite
the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth
the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.' Rev 19:15
Jesus Christ is God. He came to pay for the sins of all that come to Him with a repentant and broken in spirit. His sacrifice is a gift from God (Eph 2:8-9) because He loves His own (John 3:16) and is not willing that any perish (2 Pet 3:9).
But be assured, He is coming. He is on His way. Things are ramping up sharply, pronouncing His imminent arrival. Surely you can see this by now. Turn off the mind numbing 'One Show' and LOOK for yourselves!
Are you still not saved? Just how late are you going to leave it?
Put your trust in Jesus Christ, and not in yourselves.
I cannot (or choose not) to think just how horrific the things coming on the world will be for those who have chosen to reject Jesus Christ as their personal saviour.
And the truly terrible thing is; after death it will only get worse for those people.
Hellywood could never do it justice in a movie.
Have you chosen to play a part in what's coming or will you exit with the body of Christ? Be assured. It is coming.
Jesus Christ is God. Those who choose to accept Him as their saviour and come to Him, humble and contrite in heart, will be saved. It's more than being saved from God's imminent judgement here on earth. It's about your own personal eternal salvation, the main event as it were, paid for in advance, in full, by God Himself, as a free, lovinggift to all who love Him and come to Him.
Drop your pride. Don't rely on your own self-righteousness, your own goodness.
The only one standing in the way of your own everlasting life and your eternal joy in heaven - is you.
In a way, it's not necessary or prudent to speculate on an actual date for the catching away of the body of Christ, the ensuing tribulation and God's judgement. No man knows the day or the hour (Matt 24:36).
The reason being that at any moment, you could experience your very own 'end of days' - just like that! Unexpected, out of the blue, with no warning and no way to avoid it.
Then where will you be? That's really up to you isn't it.
FACT: There is something after physical death. There is a reality called heaven and a reality called hell. They are both eternal and permanent. Everyone, without exception (that means you and me), will go to one place or the other, regardless of their religious, atheistic, scientific, sceptical or mocking attitudes or beliefs.
The way to heaven, the ONLY way to heaven, is through Jesus Christ. Reject Him and His free gift and there is only one other alternative.
Put bluntly, if you miss heaven, you can't blame anyone else, it's all on you. You chose to reject Jesus Christ, He didn't reject you.
Jesus Christ is God. Come in the flesh as His own sacrifice for the sins of all those who choose to come to Him with a humble, repentant heart. God cannot lie. He has promised to save all those who come to Him.
It's called being 'saved' for a reason. Something to think on today, if you're still alive that is.
Since I got saved, the Lord has opened my eyes to all this - and it's both facinating and overwhelming at the same time. The veil truly is lifting, more and more each day it seems.
The fact is, this is a spiritual war. As a Christian (no, not by name only, but a real - bible believing, saved by the blood of Christ alone, one way to the Father - Christian) I've been made aware of this as I have slowly grown in Christ.
When (I truly hope) you get saved, you will see it too. You won't be able to avoid it. The Holy Ghost Himself will show it to you. And it's massive. By way of a small example; personally I can't actually watch mainstream t.v. anymore such is the high level of brainwashing and antichrist agenda going on - beamed right into our living rooms 24/7. It's even crept into some 'religious' channels.
Sound crazy? Ok. Here's a simple test you can perform for yourself. Turn on the television and in the first 30 minutes of any show/channel, count how many times 1) the Lord's name is taken in vain 2) frequency of the the intensive pushing of the homosexual agenda 3) the promotion of any, ANY religion other than the gospel of Christ 4) the agressive promotion of science as the only way forward 5) the subtle yet insistent subliminal message that a one world government / one world religion (new world order) is best for everyone.
This stuff is literally everywhere - music, t.v., film, news, children's cartoons - everywhere. Even in schools! But it's what it is paving the way for, that which is to come, that is truly what you should be worried about...
...if you're not hidden in Christ that is.
Jesus Christ is God, God in the flesh. Sent as a propitiation for the sins of all those who humble themselves and come to Him with a repentant heart. Free to all, come as you are. You give Him your sin, He gives you His imputed righteousness. That's God's righteousness, by the way. No works involved. No 'religious' baggage. He wants a relationship with you.
