From The Pastor’s Desk

Are you Ready!!! Is your house in order, if not, time is running out and only (Matt.25:10 those “that were (are) ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.”

Iran (as of last night) shut down the internet… which is the first thing, Michael Synder said “they do to prepare for a Nationwide crackdown… a sign that a mass slaughter of protesters is about to commence. The Iranian regime has brought in roughly 850 Hezbollah Iraqi Militia and Quds force-linked fighters to help deal with the protesters.”

Trump has made it clear that “if they started killing people (the protesters) they would have to pay a price…” this has now happened. Michael Synder says that Trump isn’t bluffing and if this happened, he says “things will get really crazy in the Middle East.”

The Russia Ukraine war has just reached a whole new level now that Russia has shot “Odesnik missile into Lviv Thursday which is located just 40 miles from the EU and the Nato territory.” (Michael Synder)
Trump said last night, (Amir) that “the US will be conducting land strikes against the Cartels running Mexico.” After the Massacre in Pardis Iran last night, President Trump is following through with his threat “Now is the time to act.”

Oh, how my heart breaks, having heard, two of the best prophecy preachers God raised up (Fred Shmidt and JD Collins) still fresh in my mind that “there would be a limited Nuclear between the United States and Russia, this is getting dangerously close, now that they have seized a Russia oil tanker. To now see these prophecies at any time now could occur (as a pastor friend of mine told me that “sense 9:11 and Covid 40 million people have stop attending church.) you would think people would be setting their house in order. (2Cor.13:5 examining themselves to see if they are in the faith).

To those of us who have been brought into Christ marvelous light, this is almost unbelievable, were it not for the Lord telling us (who knows the beginning from the end) that this would occur right before he would come. (I believe this is separating the wheat from the tares). To take his remnant bride out of harm’s way, before that great and dreadful day come of his wrath being poured out, of such magnitude (Matt.24:21 and that it will be worse than “since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.”) they would want to (Matt.3:7) “flee from the wrath to come?”

Paul under the anointing of the Holy Ghost, told us this would happen. 1Tim.4:1-2 “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, (openly, explicitly and unmistakably) that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed (devoting themselves) to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils: (instead of being devoted to the faith and tenets of the word of God, they will give themselves to lying hypocrites) Speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron.”

What an indictment upon this Laodicea Church world who thinks they have need of nothing, to have all the signs converging just like in Noah’s Day (Matt.24:37-39) will not know that Christ coming is at the door. Oh, that preachers were awake, and laity, to go out into the hedges and highways compelling the lost, backsliders, and lukewarm, to get right with God and one another.

I believe Jesus will rebuke especially servants (ministers) as he did Israel (Luke 19:41-44) for not knowing the time of their visitation. They could discern the signs in the sky, but they could not discern from the holy scriptures and all that the prophets had written about Christ that He was their Messiah.

I am saying this with love, and a heavy burden, to all those Heb.10:28 who are among those who have forsaken (brother Harold Hanks says that word is a military term meaning deserter) who are not sick, or are not physically able, to be in the house of God, will wish (Matt.24:45-51) you’d been found as that faithful servant at His coming.

To all those within the church who have become complacent, (feeling as one preacher said “What’s going to be, is going to be) that you have no urgency to pray more, to get closer to Jesus, I believe you could very well be one of those (Matt.25:10 foolish virgins knocking outside of the door, who failed (Heb.2:1-3) to maintain the oil in their vessel.

He’s knocking outside now, but after the rapture (that now 65% within the church I’m told no longer believe in) it will be the other way around with you knocking. As my friend JD Collins use to say, “Its a time to live holy.” This is no time to be seeing how close you can live like the world, (2Cor.6:17-18, 17:1) you’ve been called to come out of. We all have a choice, which master (Rom.6:16) “to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey.”) we will serve.

Remember in setting your house in order, Psa.93:5 says “holiness becometh thine house O Lord, forever.” And that he’s coming back for a bride Eph.5:26-27 to be “presented to himself…not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy (faultless, blameless) and without blemish.”

Let us make sure in these times, we keep plenty of oil in the vessel. 1Joh.1:7 gives us the condition “But if (which is condition. This little word if is mentioned 1522 times in scriptures) you walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. V.9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

None of us have no excuse, for not be ready, unless (Heb.2:3) “if we neglect (this) so great salvation.” Maranatha!!!!!

The song we have sung many times says “Ready or Not” the Lord is coming, ready or not he’s coming again, will your lamps be trimmed and burning…ready or not he’s coming again, is becoming more of a reality everyday. These last few days as Micheal Synder wrote are ending with a bang. “U.S. has bombed targets in Venezuela, the Caribbean, the Eastern Pacific, Nigeria and Somalia. The Saudis just bombed Yemen, Ukraine and continue to pummel each other, the Israels are gearing up to hit Iran again and the Chinese just launched missiles as they practiced for a blockade of Taiwan.” He also said that “At least 10 rockets were launched in quick succession…across the sky toward the seafront. If those missiles had actually been aimed at Taiwan, we would be in a state of war with China right now. We are far closer to the kinetic phase of World War III than most people realize.”

There is still a bit of good news here, we’re the generation, that is witnessing the grand finale. You might just be one of those professing Christians in mostly name only, being among those who confess Jesus with your lips but your heart is far from Him. I could go on and on, but I want to challenge you to a New Beginning. First of all, do what 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” If you are lost, turn your life over to the Lordship of the Lord Jesus.

The Lord Jesus who is seated at the right hand of the Father is ready to plead your case and forgive you of your sin and give you a beginning in the new year, but you must turn from your way that seems to be right in your own eyes, “but the end thereof is the ways of death.” (Pro.4:12)

Oh, how I pray, (Rev.3:20) you are hearing the Lord Jesus knocking at your heart’s door right now, which means if you’ll open the door, He will come in and sup with you. My friend you can be sure, to have Him to come in and sit with you. he wants to break bread with you, (then your heart can’t help but burn as it did with his disciples in you.)

Please hear me, all those pleasures that you don’t think you can live without (1John 2:15-17) will very soon pass away. There won’t be no ball games to go too, or Superbowl’s to watch, and car races for you to be more excited over than seeing a soul saved on their way to Hell. You may never want to read any of my post again, but I will not have your blood upon my hands, because I tell you the truth. None of us will lay down at Christ feet, the pleasures we may have enjoyed here, while passing through. No, the only thing that we’ll be able to lay at Christ feet, are those things of eternal value. Wake up, the uncommitted, disobedient, unfruitful will be among those foolish virgins, whose oil has run out, many will loose out altogether, who are (Matt.24:48-51) the evil servant.

My dear friend JD Collins said that only 25% of the Church as a whole (according to Matt.16:27-28, 17:1) will go in the Rapture. This is serious. My friend Gary Harper years ago went on a 40 day fast and he said, the scripture that came to him the most was 1 Pet.4:17-18 “For the time is come that judgment must first begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely (with difficulty, barely) be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?”

My heart is heavy, for so many that were one time faithful, had a least some fear of God, but it seems the cares of this life and the deceitfulness of riches have choked the Word, and their life is no longer fruitful. I am not your judge, in some sense, but I can sure tell a tree by the fruit it is bearing. John 15:1-8 is clear, if there is no fruit on the branch, Jesus will cut it off and throw it into the fire. I beg you get right with God and one another if you have not. There is still room at the cross. I ask you a most sobering question in this short time we have left before the door is shut to the church age and the dark night of 7 years of the wrath of God is poured out (2 Thess.1:8 in “flaming fire”) upon this world. “What are you going to do with the rest of your life (the time remaining).

Think what you will, but you have (if any) but a short time to wake up and go out and win the lost. When you come to the end, nothing else will matter, but that your house is in order!!!

Maranatha!!!

Are we witnessing the Calm before the Storm? It sure looks like the four horsemen of Revelation 6 will soon be called by our Lord to come, which brother Shmidt says is a command. This is such a wonderful time of year, when we come together and celebrate the supernatural birth of the Incarnated Son of God. Fully God and fully man. Son of God, and Son of Man. As brother Darrell Turner so powerful preached, “there was not one drop of Adams blood in the veins of the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.”

As joyous as this day will be, and the joy we will have being with our families to celebrate this Christmas; in watching the latest news, this may be the last Christmas the remnant bride spends Christmas here on earth with. So may we all use this time to tell all who will here of, this blessed hope of Jesus second coming.

Micheal Synder wrote “The Chinese are extremely upset with how aggressive we have become with the Venezuelans and U.S. officials are warning that they have loaded ‘more than 100 intercontinental ballistic missiles’ into their launches in their brand-new silo fields near the Mongolian border.” Trump has made it clear “that removing President Maduro from power is the goal.” He says they have done ‘terrible things to the United States.’

With a burdened heart, I can’t help but wonder, what else will it take for so many to be awakened to want time it is on Gods calendar, to see that the church age is almost over, and the door will soon be shut to the church age. As I have talked to many older ministers through the years, that when the rapture takes place, there will be so few missing in most churches, it will be like there was just a hand full stayed out of church because of sickness or something and they will carry on church as usual.

Now you don’t have to be one of those, left behind, if you have the Christ Child living in you, and you are being led by his Spirit, to live a life of holiness. Spirit, Soul, and Body. Holiness as Gene Rice says in “Attitude, Action, and Appearance.” Merry Christmas and Maranatha!!!!!

Have we just witnessed the coming together of Rev.17:12 of the “ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet: but receive power as kings one hour with the beasts.” From “Prophecy news watch: President Trump is forming a ‘Board of Peace’ made up of ten international leaders from Arab and Western nations-leaders who will collectively oversee the next phase of governance, security, and reconstruction in Gaza and the broader Middle East peace framework.”

Are you still slumbering and sleeping or one at ease in Zion, if so you might want to stop hitting the snooze button and wake up, for we are truly witnessing and accelerating of end time events. There was a 7.0 earthquake Saturday in Alaska and then today in Japan there was a 7:6.

Oh Lord we humbly prayer, that you would raise up intercessors, who have died to self, and like Jeremiah 9:1 the prophet, who would pray, “O that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night…” for our sons and daughters, the lost. For the spiritual condition of the church, who like Israel seem to be more concerned (Isa.3:16-26) as Donald Stamps said that “In the midst of spiritual, moral and political decline, the woman of Judah were characterized by their devotion to all kinds of things related to fashion and external appearance rather than to inward holiness and love for God. They were self-centered women, searching for sexual attractiveness and thinking only of their wants, but showing no concern for the oppressed, the poor of the tragic spiritual condition of their families and people.”

I often remind myself of (1Cor.6:19-20) when Paul exhorted them to “know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own. For ye are bought with a price therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” Oh, Lord don’t let me forget, that I am not my own. So, mold me, and make me into a vessel like you, for I don’t want to get adjusted to a world that am only passing through. Don’t let me every be a stumbling block, but a steppingstone that points people to the Lord Jesus.

Maranatha!!!!!
