‼️This Is WHY the Pretribulation RAPTURE Will DEFINITELY Happen! ‼️

Obey Christ in You not the Culture

We should obey the governing authorities when it does not disobey God. However, there is no command in the Bible to vote, it is a choice our government gave us therefore we can choose to vote or not according to our own conscience.

No one should be pressuring others to vote or not vote because in either case they may be coercing someone to go against their own conscience.

There are people who cannot bring themselves to engage in the world system especially when it requires them to vote against the lesser of two evils.

We do not know what God's plan for this country is in these last days of apostasy. God has removed His hand of protection from this nation because of the proliferation of evil growing exponentially almost daily.

Romans 13:1 "13 Every person is to be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God."

Often down through history, we see that there was only godly revival when people became so miserable that there was only one place to look for help and that was Christ. If we remain comfortable, getting everything we want without difficulty there is no incentive to trust in Christ.

We have passed the tipping point of evil and out-and-out denial of Christ even in the Christian church as most people who attend these places have compromised most of Scripture in favor of messaging the feelings of the attendees.

Marriage was one of the first principles that was compromised. It was and is the picture of Christ and His church. The union God created in two people who promised themselves to one another was done by Him, a spiritual glue that no man could dissolve. Only God dissolves it at death.

This principle is violated by most people, even if they don't divorce they either promote it or defend it in others. This very important principle is a picture of the union between God and born-again believers. To tolerate without challenge divorce and remarriage is to endorse the adultery of the remarriage. Endorsing sin against God is to be a party to that sin, even if we never do it ourselves.

Mark 10:11-12 "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman is guilty of adultery against her."

Ezekiel 3:18-21 "18 When I say to the wicked, ‘You will certainly die,’ and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way so that he may live, that wicked person shall die for wrongdoing, but his blood I will require from your hand.

19 However if you have warned the wicked and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked way, he shall die for wrongdoing, but you have saved yourself.

20 Again, when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and commits sin, and I place an obstacle before him, he will die; since you have not warned him, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require from your hand.

21 However, if you have warned the righteous person that the righteous is not to sin, and he does not sin, he shall certainly live because he took warning; and you have saved yourself.”

God said clearly too that if a divorce occurs one must remain unmarried because according to Him even though the two people no longer live together the spiritual bond created by God remains.

1 Corinthians 7:10-11 "10 But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife is not to leave her husband 11 (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband is not to [a]divorce his wife."

Did God lie? NO, HE DID NOT LIE!!!

This is one of the most egregious violations of God's word than most things because it sends the message that what God does in a marriage doesn't matter. Why would we be surprised about homosexual marriage or abortion, they are all the very same attitude of defiance against God based on cultural norms not on the word of God.

Here's the thing!!! Why would we pressure someone to vote against their conscience? And, why would we pressure someone to accept a clear violation of God's word on marriage? These things are accepted and promoted because they meet the cultural standard, not a Biblical one.

God never commanded us to vote nor did He forbid it, therefore it is a choice. However, God did command clearly not to divorce and not to remarry if there is a divorce. Do you see how the culture dictates the beliefs and standards of the modern Christian much more than Biblical truth?

Our modern church pressures people to obey the culture far more than they teach obedience to God's Word.

The Christians of this country want to be comfortable so they work hard at maintaining their freedoms even if it will prevent people from seeing their need for Christ.

May the Biblical Christian who follows the Holy Spirit be at peace in spite of cultural pressure and do as they are led by God to do, not what others think they should do.

My answer about divorce and remarriage is that we should be ready with an answer for a brother or sister who is contemplating violations of God's word, but in the matter of voting if someone is pressuring us to reveal who we are voting for and why, we can say with clarity, God tells me if I should vote and who I vote for is no one's business since our government has provided that it be a secret.

I am frustrated with Christians dividing over the matter of whether or not to vote since the Bible does not clearly command it. While endorsing divorce and remarriage to satisfy their comfort level.

Be at peace, ask the Lord what He wants from you and if necessary don't share with anyone else what He told you to do. Ane, never shrink from boldly speaking the principles of God that defy the cultural norm. God will avenge those who are treated with disrespect and who love Him and His word, not just in word but in deed.

1 Corinthians 2:14: "But the natural man receive not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned".

Amen and Amen!!!

God Desired that All Would be Saved!

Every name was written in the Book of life because Christ desired that all be saved, however, those who will not trust in Him their names will be blotted out by their own choice to deny Him.

No where in the Word of God do we see when God wrote our names in, we only see that He blots them out when we deny Him until our death. 

Don't Let the Enemy of Our Soul Get a Foothold

The enemy of our soul (the soul of the born-again believer), the devil, wants to keep us focused on our feelings to drive us to ungodly responses to ungodly attacks of others through his bidding. His goal is to cause us to become like our attackers to discredit us and Christ. We must resist becoming like those who attack us knowing where this all comes from, the devil. The people he uses have no excuse but do not realize they are pawns in Satan's hands. They even think they are justified and doing God a favor by persecuting those who come against false doctrine.

John 16:1-3 "1 “I have told you these things so that you will not fall away. 2 They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. 3 They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me."

1 Peter 5:7-9 …"7 Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. 8 Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.

We can expect more attacks the more we speak the truth to unbelievers and other pretenders who say they believe but have little regard for the commands of Christ in His Word.

As we near the end of this church age we will experience more attack and greater isolation without companionship or allies who understand God's principles and enjoy understanding us.

We need not be dismayed by this because God said it would happen and that we will be strong and joyful in the midst of it.

How do we remain joyful? The answer is very simple and yet needs the power of the Holy Spirit to remain Spiritually centered. The answer is to know not to take anything personally, its not about us, the attacks are coming through people who are minions controlled by their emotions and influenced by devils. They are fooled into thinking they are justified in their anger and rudeness.

Matthew 24:42

"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come."

2 Corinthians 2:14-17 "14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us reveals the fragrance of the knowledge of Him in every place.

15 For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing:

16 to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things?

17 For we are not like the many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God."

There will be those who say they are Christians who will reject the words of God in favor of the false teachings of the culture of psychology and even worse they will claim to be "Bible believers". We live in a world in which just "saying" something is proof to those who think and act superficially according to their desires and feelings. They will embrace pagan ideas believing they are godly and worse defending them when they have been shown to be wrong.

Because of the testimony of many of you I know, like me, you are watching and waiting for our homegoing very soon. We cannot change the world and its events prophesied by God so we remain fixated on God's promises bringing us joy and peace no matter what anyone else is doing.

1 Corinthians 15:58

"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain."

Galatians 6:9

"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up."

James 1:12

"Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him."

Hallelujah, the devil and his minions cannot harm us Spiritually or emotionally unless we allow it.
