From The Pastor’s Desk

Time is running out!!! “The UN, who thinks there are too many people on the planet, are coming together in September calling it “The Summit of the future”. They are planning to bring our radical drastic reforms in the structure of the UN…and the power of the UN. Think of it as the biggest power grab ever at the global level. The Secretary General of the UN (Antonio Guterres) has put out briefs where he is calling for the UN to be the one world global dictatorship with him at the helm. In emergencies, the UN would have all power in emergencies and have all power to oversee emergency response…
They say the crisis could be a climate crisis, an economic crisis, environmental crisis, pandemic crisis, black swan crisis or maybe something from outer space. So basically, anything could be a crisis, and when the Secretary General declares a crisis, all power and authority would go to the UN.
Award-winning journalist Alex Newman, author of the popular book “Deep State” says “This is like a blank check on the wealth and liberty on every person on the planet, and this is coming soon. It is imminent. This is coming in September at the UN, and it is a power grab of historic proportions. They know their time is short, and they are going for the big enchilada here. They want control of every aspect of your life.”
Wow!!! Now for all those, who continue to scoff, as 2 Pet.3:3-5 says ‘And saying, where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. (Peter says) For this they are willingly (deliberately) are ignorant of…the word of God…” Paul in writing on the return of Christ wrote in 1Thess.5:4-6 “But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. vs.9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Whether this happens in September this year, time will tell. Jesus warned us in Luke 21:34-36 “And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day (rapture) come upon you unawares. (unexpected) For a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”
Paul says Rom.13:11 “And that, knowing the time, that it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and, let us put on the armour of light.”
Folks, the antichrist is laying in the wings Dan.9:27 “And he shall confirm the (or a) covenant with many for one week…” and the good news is, there is one thing holding this back 2Thess. 2:1-8 the restrainer must be taken out, the church, Christ’s beloved body and bride.
Oh, what a day this will be Heb.9:28 for “them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Oh, what a day it will be for all those Rev.3:10 Jesus said “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, (trial) which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.”
If you can’t see that time is running out, you must be among the lost. 2 Cor.4:3 “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost.” My prayer is that you are Matt.24:45-51 the wise servant, and not the evil servant, who feels no imposing threat, that Jesus could come at any moment.
Ready or not Jesus is coming, will we be ready? Now’s the time 2 Pet.1:10 to “give diligence to make your calling and election sure…” It’s almost over and those who are ready, will be going home. Hallelujah, Maranatha!!!!!

Oh Lord, don’t never let me forget who I’m working for, and may I be found Matt.24:45-47 as the “faithful and wise servant, whom when his Lord… when he cometh shall find so doing…” For you have promised if I do your will, you will “make him ruler over all his good.”
It is no wonder the Apostle Paul said in Rom.8:18 “that the sufferings in this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
Wow, there is nothing down here that will ever compare with being found as the wise servant. To hear the resurrected Lord of Lord’s and King of Kings at last say “Well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many”. Oh, weary soldier, you may have been wounded, so have many who have gone before you, but they endured through it all. Oh Lord, never count me to be unfit for the battle, even if I must crawl across the finish line, I have your forever promise to be with me until the end. Don’t let the sin around you, (Matt.24:12-13) keep you from enduring until the end. Stand up on those shaky legs, and lift up those holy hands, and look up, for all who endure until the end, Jesus promised shall be saved. Maranatha!!!

Scoffers beware in talking down on the Rapture of the Church!!! 2Pet.3:3-5 says “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers walking after their own lusts. And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? (Peter says) For this they willingly are ignorant of…” Spurgeon says about scoffers “Every time a blasphemer opens his mouth to deny the truth of revelation, he will help to confirm us in our conviction of the very truth which he denies. The Holy Ghost told us, by the pen of Peter, that it would be so; and now we see how truly he wrote.” F. B. Myer wrote on 2Pet.3:1-9 saying “Longsuffering Delay. Apparently, there was a well-grounded fear that the church would relax her attitude of expectancy and gave credence to the materialistic philosophy of the age.”

The scoffers message is “Where is the promise of His coming?” To the carnal thinking mind, Christians have talked about Jesus coming for two thousand years and He still has not come back yet.
With the Lord’s help, may I stir up your pure mind by way of remembrance. It is true, the Lord has not come back yet, and that at the present, all things do continue as they were from the beginning, but this is all because of v.9 his “longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” V.8 says “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. You may scoff if you choose, but the scriptures teach, that God has a week of time. Two days for Adam to Abraham, and two days from Abraham to Christ, and two days allotted to the church age, (Hos.6:1-2).

So, scoffers beware “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise…” he’s coming back for those who have not “relax attitude of expectancy” (Heb.9:28 “…and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Scoffers beware of being found as the evil servant, Matt.24:48-51 “But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My Lord delayeth his coming: And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and eat and drink with the drunken; The Lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him; and in and hour that he is not ware of, And shall cut him asunder (off) and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Did you know that Jesus tells, when He is coming, Matt.24:44 “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man cometh.” I’m asking you, as Paul asked them in 2Cor.13:5 “to examine yourselves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves…” You may ask what it is you want me to prove, if you are still, “earnestly contending for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” You will be greeting brothers and sisters as they did in the early church. 1Cor.16:22 says “If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema, Maranatha. (Let him be accursed, our Lord cometh).

You have a choice, to believe the scoffers, who say “Where is the promise of his coming? Or you can be lazy and not pray and ask the teacher, the Holy Ghost who has come to lead us and guide us into all truth, show you the blessed hope, (1Thess.4:13-18) of Jesus coming for his bride, in the clouds, and then coming back seven years later to set up his millennial kingdom. Yes in spite of the scoffers (who are now confirming this prophecy) Jesus is coming very soon. (2Tim.4:8 says “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them that love his appearing.”)

Scoffers do you have an ear to hear, what the scripture says, “unto them also that love his appearing.” The distinctive mark of both OT and NT saints were the longing to be in the Lord’s presence. So if I were you, I would not relax in expectancy, in fact, I would be compelling everyone possible, and telling them as the early church, Maranatha (the Lord cometh).
