From The Pastor’s Desk

Ecc.8:11 says “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” This may sound like I am rejoicing over those destructive fires raging in LA. No, a thousand times no, but I am convinced (by all the examples from Israel’s history, when sin reaches a certain level, as it will, finally in the 7-year tribulation period, when he pours out his vials or bowl judgments) he is giving mankind a little space to repent.

Most may not be aware, Micheal Snyder wrote that “It is estimated that 200 firms, 6000 workers and 1200 actors produce 4000-7000 adult films a year in Los Angeles. Yes, there are more porn-related, adult industries jobs than software jobs in this town. With 4.3 billion in sales and rentals (which is still nothing compared to the 12 billion made from toys and books) the adult entertainment Industry puts 4 billion in revenue back into the local economy. Most people living in the western world consume entertainment that originate from Los Angeles almost every single day.”

Maybe you believe in coincidence, but I don’t believe this was a coincidence. You can look this up, on Sunday night before the fires would break within 48 hours in LA, one of the speakers said “Who got a shoutout the Most? God creator of the Universe got 0 mentions (then laughing) No surprise here in this godless town!”

My heart like God’s heart grieves Gen.6:6 in our day, that not just in the world, but in the church, to think that God is winking at the sins of our day. Please hear what the Lord says Acts 17:30 “And the times of this ignorance God winked at, (overlooked until the full knowledge came in the coming of his beloved Son) but now commandeth all me everywhere to repent.” Gal.6:7-8 tells us plainly “Be not deceived, God is not mocked…”

I believe our longsuffering God, who is seeking a bride to be married to his beloved Son, who will rule and reign with Him, in the eternal kingdom, is now giving the last altar call, (2Pet.1:10 “To make your calling and election sure”) to all who have an ear to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

Covid sifted about a 1/3 of the church, who now feels, they no longer have to come together as a body of believers to be feed the word of God. Or for a loving shepherd, who himself is caring the load of trying to keep the rams from killing one another in butting heads and prays for the Lord to give him the grease needed, in mating season, so they will bounce off, and then stand back and have time to rethink.

As a pastor I pray every day that God would give me wisdom to lead his people to watch over them and dip them every once and a while. So, they are not destroyed by the pest Satan, who seeks to lay those eggs on the nose and if allowed to hatch out can cause them to run into trees etc. and even kill themselves.

I say this with all the love I know how to say it, if someone has hurt you with words, as hurtful as they are, and I would never minimize that. But if anyone has, even the preacher, for your eternal soul’s sake, go to that person, and tell them you are sorry, and ask for their forgiveness, so that God will forgive you.

I can hear some now saying, I’m done that, and nothing changed. I can tell you the reason nothing changed, you thought you were right, and it was the other person. If you don’t want to be one of those ones in Rev.7:14 who had robes, but did not keep them maintained, I plead with you, to humble yourself, get a towel and go and wash the feet of the one who may have hurt you. It won’t matter, a hill of beans after the rapture, when you’ve been left behind. It’s time to get right with God and one another, for Jesus is coming. We will be having revival with brother Jeremy Pooler starting Sunday. If your pride is keeping you from getting right with anyone, I believe that pride will keep you out of the rapture.

I pray today, I have not become your enemy by telling you the truth. Don’t be stubborn, as I had one man to tell me about 8 years ago “I’m done with it.” Oh, how I’m so glad, Jesus didn’t say to the Father I’m done with it and call 12 legion of angels, Thank God he was willing to drink the bitter cup. It’s time to repent of all those works of the flesh and receive the Gift of the Spirit. You may speak in tongues, but if the fruit of the Spirit is not being manifested and growing in your life, there is something wrong. Now is the time to examine yourself 2Cor.13:5 to see if you are truly in the faith, or in some other faith. This preacher loves you, and my prayer, is that you will be ready when Jesus comes. Maranatha!!!!!

Is this just the beginning of the fires? It’s been about 27 years since I read the book by Dumitru Duduman “Through the Fire, Without Burning.” It is worth anyone reading, what he went through, and how God used him to bring Bibles into his country, and then God sent him to America to warn this nation of judgment coming.

He was given a a number of messages from God, one on September 1984 and told to go on TV and tell this nation that “America will Burn…” page 160, he was told of four cities that would burn. He was showed all of California and said, “This is Sodom and Gomorrah! All of this, in one day will burn! It’s sin has reached the Holy One. Then he took me to Las Vegas, This is Sodom and Gomorrah. In one day, it will burn, then he showed me the state of New York. This is Sodom and Gomorrah! In one day, it will burn.”
Then he showed me all of Florida. This is Sodom and Gomorrah! In one day, it will burn. After he was showed this, he was told again “All of this I have shown you-In one day it will burn.” This also coincides, with William Branham’s fifth and last vision, that he saw of America burning as well.
Please understand me, my heart goes out to those people, (I have been there, not by fire, but from a Tornada which left behind destruction, and it was from that, I was willing to go into the ministry a year later) in California, who have lost everything.

He was told this 40 years ago. 40 in Bible Numerics, interestingly means “trial complete” which could very well mean this is the start of America burning. Then he asked the Lord “What about the church?” He said to him “I want to save the church, but the churches have forsaken me.” I said, “How did they forsake you?” He said “the people praise themselves. The honor that the people are supposed to give Jesus Christ, they take upon themselves. In the churches there are divorces. There is adultery in the churches. There are homosexuals in the churches. There is abortion in the churches, and all other sins that are possible. Because of the sin, I left some of the churches. You must yell in a loud voice that they must put an end to their sinning. They must turn toward the Lord. The Lord never gets tired of forgiving. They must draw close to the Lord and live a clean life. If they have sinned until now, they must put an end to it and start a new life as the Bible tells them to live.”

Dave Wilkerson also saw a thousand fires burning in New York at one time. Oh, how longsuffering the Lord has been with this nation, with the church, that resembles the world, he saved us out of, and now is dancing around the golden calf, and like Israel saying “these be the gods that brought us out of Egypt”. No, a thousand times no, the gods of this world are powerless to save. Jesus is the only one, who has the blood flowing through his veins, that is not contaminated with Adam’s blood. No other blood can cleanse the vilest sinner, with a black heart, and wash it in his red crimson blood, and make it white as the snow.

This is the year ’25 which in Bible Numerics means “forgiveness of sin.” So awake church and pray, as Ken Boyd says, “The same God who did, is the same God who still does.” God delights in forgiving those who return back to the Father’s house, who have come to themselves and ready to be made as a hired servant. It this humble and contrite heart David said in Psa.51:17 that, God cannot turn away.
Oh, how I pray we take, the Lord’s invitation, which any day now could be our last, and repent of giving glory to everything that will soon pass away, and little time to gather with the saints and give God the glory due his name.

For your sake, your families’ sake and the churches sake (for which Christ died and is building, to one day rule and reign with him), don’t let a day, a week pass us by, without giving Christ all the praise and glory in a life of complete obedience to him. I know according to the time (two days or 2000 years Hos.6:1-2, Luk.13:32, 2Pet.3:8) that’s been allotted to the church. We have maybe a couple of years, before Tribulation starts, but remember there are no signs connect to the rapture. It’s always referred, to as eminent.

So, pray up, plug up, to be powered up, and prepared to tell all those who ask a reason of hope within you, that Jesus is there only hope, who is standing even before the door, James 5:7-9 to gather into the city (John 14:1-3 he went back to prepare) “the precious fruit of the earth…”

Oh, sinner friend and lukewarm professing Christian, don’t be deceived and think, Jesus is going to be married to a lukewarm bride who does not obey him, and that he will be married to for all eternity. The judgments of God are upon us, the whirlwind is at the door, and the Lord is calling you and I to “go out and win, rescue from sin, days almost gone, low sinks the sun, souls are crying, men are dying, win the lost at any cost.

Maranatha!!!

Whose side are you on? As my friend Doug Small said there is no “Neutrality” with God. By these latest headlines, whether you believe the prophets or not, Jesus is coming very soon for his bride, (Luke 21:34-36, 1Thess.4:13-18) that is called the rapture of both the dead saints and living saints, you will be made a believer any day now, after Jesus who promised this glorious event, takes place. To all the (2Pet.3:3-10) scoffers who are saying where is the promise of his coming, it will a reality but for you will be among all those left behind.

Russia has sent a message to Israel as soon as they crossed into Lebanon “to immediately withdraw its forces from Southern Lebanon.” Turkey’s leader Erdogan said “Israel will be stopped, sooner or later. Turkey has also recommended use of force over Israeli attacks in Lebanon. Erdogan said General Assembly should act if the security council doesn’t.” Whatever you may think that you will just continue to be neutral, you will very soon be faced with two choices, as it has always been, God or the Devil, Jesus or the Antichrist. Everything has changed since Oct.7th last year, when Hamas murdered 1200 Israeli’s. One year later the headlines read after over 180 Ballistic Missiles were fired from Iran. IDF spokesman Daniel Hagai said “We will act at the place and time of our choosing, in accordance with the guidance of the Political echelon-tonight’s event will have consequences.”

Benjamin Netanyahu “Iran made a big mistake tonight-and it will pay for it. The regime in Iran does not understand our determination to defend ourselves and our determination to retaliate against our enemies.” Another Israeli official warned “what Iran has suffered so far is only a fraction of what it will face now.” Former prime minister Naftali Bennett said the Islamic Republic “made a terrible mistake” this evening. “Israel has now its greatest opportunity in 50 years, to change the face of the Middle East. We must act now to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, its central energy facilities, and to fatally cripple this terrorist regime.” Now whether you can trust the Biden Administration or not to do anything he has said, said “If the Iranians launched missiles at Israel there would be “severe consequences.” This should be a wake=up call to the world, but Micheal Snyder said “for the moment most of the population still appears to be in a very deep state of sleep.”

No wonder Paul wrote in Rom.13:11-12 “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; (spiritual 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.”`

If you claim to be a Christian, and you don’t believe that Jesus is coming, you are not watching and praying, you will be among the lukewarm, Rev.3:16 “Jesus will spue out of his mouth” into the most horrible time on earth, the likes this world (Matt.24:21, Mar.13:19) has never seen or will ever see again. Sadly, you are like the captain of the ship just before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, when a Petty Officer reported to his Lieutenant that he saw a large fleet of planes coming toward Pearl Habor and the Lieutenant’s response was don’t worry about.

Sadly, this is much of the church world. The pastors are most like those in Isaiah’s time in 56:10 “His watchmen are blind, they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yea they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand they all look to their own way, everyone for his gain, from his quarter. Come ye, say they, let us get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink: and tomorrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.”
God forbid that I should throw any stones, this is no time to be neutral. It is time to pray, and cry aloud the message of repentance. Cry it from every mountain top, and in the valley to be rapture ready, and witness to everyone who has an ear to hear, Isa.61:2 that “the day of vengeance of our God … (is upon us) to comfort all that mourn.” Nows the time, 2Pet.1:10 “to make your calling and election sure…”

Maranatha!!!!!

Checkmate!!! For 20 years Hezbollah has terrified Israel, like Goliath, (Twenty is redemption) and in ten days (meaning testimony) Amir said “they finished them.” Today was a major victory for Israel in eliminating the head of Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah.

Now that Hezbollah is finished, there are some interesting signs that indicate that Isa.17:1 could be next. “Behold, Damascus is taken away (ceases to be a city) and it shall be a ruinous heap. V.14 “And behold at eventide (which is just before the morning, that great day in the morning) trouble; and before the morning he is not…” (They are no more) … Right now it is being reported 40,000 fighters from Iraq, Yemen, and Syria who arrived in the Golan Heights, are preparing to confront Israel, and also thousands coming from Turkey.

If you are not being compelled to pray for the readiness of the rapture, or to go out into the hedges and highways, (Jude 22-23 “some have compassion …And others save with fear pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.”) now is the time to shake yourself from your slumbering, sleep and stop hitting the snooze button because there is something big about to happen.
What I’m about to share with you is no coincidence. Amos 3:7 tells us clearly “the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. (Amp. of judgment to come) …Gen.1:14 says “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs…”
In Luk.21:25 Jesus said concerning his coming “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, (this means dismay, turmoil, bewilderment, anguish) with perplexity: (meaning to have no way out, be at a lost mentally) the sea and waves roaring;” Anyone who can’t see that this is all happening right now, is drunk on the cares of this life, and failing to obey Christ warning to the church in V.36 to “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy (deem entirely deserving, qualified) to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”

We have just witnessed the great America solar eclipse on 4-8-24, 4 meaning world and 8 new beginning and now we have a “Comet of the Century” coming. This Comet is called “comet C/2023 A3” it is called 2023 Michael Snyder say’s “because it was originally discovered in early 2023.”
Interestingly according to the specialized blog Cometography, it will shine the brightest on Oct.2, on the very day Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Oct.2 the beginning of the feast of trumpets.
Keep in mind 10 is testimony, and two is witness, on the same day there will also be a “ring of fire” solar eclipse on Oct.2nd.Now there is also one more thing here the Comet will be visible the whole month of October and it turns out that it will pass the closest to earth on Oct.12, which is on Yom Kippur. “The Day of Atonement.”

I don’t know when the Lord is coming, the door to the church age, (2days Hos.6;1-2 in God choosing a bribe for his Son end, which includes the 7-year tribulation period) and all who are saved in the tribulation period will be considered guest, according to my dear friend JD Collins. If he were here now, he’d be shouting from the roof tops and to anybody who has not been desensitized by Helli wood 2Pet.1:10 “to make your calling and election sure.”

I’m sorry if you feel there is no need for this kind of message, just wanting all positive without any negative. My friend the gospel message is negative and positive, repent and then you’ll be forgiven. I hear the scoffers and those who make fun of, but that’s okay, I’d rather obey my master and proclaim the whole counsel of Christ, than what makes you feel good.

My pray is that it causes you sorrow, to repentance and to get into the ark of safety before the rain of Gods wrath is poured out, on this wicked generation, who counts evil good. Say what you will, before the flood Noah’s message for 120 years was a flood is coming.

I believe the most motivational message, if you understand the times, is to flee from the wrath to come. To get right with God, be saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost. To make sure your vessel has plenty of oil. Don’t be one of those foolish virgins left outside the door.

It will be too late then; you’ll be in the tribulation period and if you are saved, (Rev.20:4) you will be beheaded, if you are saved. Don’t wait for another checkmate with Israel, repent and get right with God, and one another. Just like God placed a star in the sky announcing Christ, first coming. I believe God is announcing Jesus second coming (Matt.24:33 Amp) that “when you see all these things (taking place), know for certain that He is near, right at the door.”
Maranatha!!!!!
