			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I have stated before, I was in the Medical Field for 40 years, therefore, my type of thinking is very straight forward, it&#8217;s called “Linear thinking”. This sort of thinking, I found to be so crucial, simply because of the nature of Medicine. If there is a problem, it has a cause and effect, so the question would be, “Am I able to treat both or just one of them”. For example, a person has the flu. The flu is a virus, therefore we have no treatment for it, but we are able to treat the symptoms and that is what we do. Now we do have the “Flu Shot” and it does a fair job at “Preventing” the person from getting the flu in the first place, but this is not 100% guaranteed. Be sure, that there are varying symptoms with the Flu and also varying degrees of effect on the Patient. We also know, that continual and effective “Handing washing Technique” is essential to prevent getting the flu, but does this mean a person will never get the Flu? Obviously&#8230;NO!</p>
<p>Linear Thinking is good for the Medical Field, because the Medical Field is grounded in “Empirical” Science, therefore any deviation is strongly dis-couraged. For the rest of the world, everything seems to have a “Technical Manual” to refer to when problems arise, or you are able to contact the manufacturer for more assistance. With our Human bodies the Manufacturer is God, which the vast majority in Science, would deny “Empirically”! And the “Technical Manual” is the Word of God, the Bible and of course everyone will deny this as well. The Bible says, <strong>Psalm 103:2-4</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>who healeth all thy diseases;</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em> Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;</em></span>&#8221; There is the answer!! “Trust the Lord, thy God. Who healeth all thy diseases”! Seems pretty “Linear” to me, for the world not so much though, they still like the “Empirical Thinking”.</p>
<p>I began smoking cigarettes when I was about 20-21 years of age, thought it made me look older and more sophisticated, how wrong was I. I am now 60 years of age and my two Physicians have done everything test-wise to show all the evils of smoking, I was suspecting the worst. I became a “Follower of Jesus Christ” about 10 years ago, but before that, I had every known problem there was for the average smoker. I had Bronchitis several times every year, as well as Pneumonia! You would have thought, I would have quit a lot sooner, but I digress. With in the last 10 years the Lord has wiped out every single problem I have had with smoking. I <strong>didn&#8217;t do this</strong>, the Lord God Almighty did it! I have had Lung Scans, Ultrasound for Plaque in my arteries, CT scan of my chest and neck and Profusion scans of my Heart&#8230;not a single thing came back other than normal. Again, I did <strong>NOT</strong> do this!! The Lord God Almighty did this and I have expressed this to my Physicians&#8230;in those exact words! Most of them said “I was just lucky”! Well guess what my Friends, there is no such a thing as “Luck”! My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, God, is in charge of everything, including what my body does. IT was never my body to begin with, neither was my Soul or Spirit, they all belong to God. All that I can say, is that the Lord has a Plan for me and it must include my body and HE is doing with me whatever HE wants and in whatever manner!</p>
<p>So what is it that I am saying here? Believe on the Lord with all your heart and HE will cure YOU of all your diseases? If your dying of Metastatic Cancer, simply believing with all your heart, you&#8217;ll be instantly cured? NO! I am saying this is what happened to me and it is according to what the Lord has in store for me, HIS Perfect Will! “Faith”&#8230;.True and complete “Faith” in the Lord, is to completely TRUST the Lord God Almighty&#8230;&#8230;.NO matter what is going on with you! It is knowing that HE will do whatever HE thinks is best for YOU, even if it means you die. Here&#8217;s the thing, we all fear death because we have been programmed by satan to fear it, just look at all the Hollywood movies about it! In <strong>2 Corinthians 5:6-10</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>. Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.</em></span>&#8221; As a true Believer, with Metastatic Cancer, when we die, we are instantly with the Lord in Heaven! Or do you have a better place to be?! Do you really want to stay here on this planet, with all those that Lie and Cheat, steal, hate, the wars and famine, Pestilence?? The Apostle Paul had a difficult time with this, He said he would rather be with the Lord. If he was with the Lord, his trials and tribulations would be over with, but what about all those that had not heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Paul understood what his job here was and what it meant for the Lord to keep him here, even thought he did not want to stay. Think on this for a moment! Life here on this planet is very hard, one step after the other, no one is going to help you or even care for that matter.</p>
<p>As an “Un-Saved” individual, you are looking at staying here or going to Hell, in that case I would rather stay here too! If on the other hand, you are “Saved” to Jesus Christ, staying here is the worst and going to be with the Lord is to be in Heaven&#8230;INSTANTLY!!! Any “Rational” person knows this! This life is painful and difficult, there is little to no desirable qualities to staying here, unless you belong to Jesus Christ and your doing HIS Perfect Will in your Life! Here&#8217;s another REAL situation for ya, the “<strong>Rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ</strong>” is coming very, very, quickly and the LAST thing you want to do is to miss that! I can not imagine, in my wildest dreams or imagination, how horrible the “<strong>Tribulation</strong>” is going to be&#8230;just know it will be horrendous at the least!</p>
<p>Where do you think all the “Diseases” of this world come from? It isn&#8217;t God!! It&#8217;s from the SIN in this world! Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, is the only person to have <strong>never</strong> sinned! Jesus Christ is the only one to die on a Cruel Cross and be buried and then Rise again on the third day! That means <strong>everyone</strong> else, <strong>ever born</strong> onto this planet is a sinner! There are two ways off this planet, to Eternal Hell or Eternal Heaven! That&#8217;s it, that&#8217;s all there is! To get to Heaven, you must choose before your death, to follow Jesus Christ and HIM only!! There is NO other God!! Trust me, when it comes to death, the usual manner of death is painful and unpleasant&#8230;.NOT so if you belong to Jesus Christ! I have witnessed this situation more times than I could count and never have I seen a Child of the Lord die without the Lord being there and providing the Love HE has for them, the “Peace that passes all Understanding”! I belong to Jesus Christ and HE is ALL I need, HE is all YOU need as well!!</p>
<p>I am going to say it again and I&#8217;m going to continue to say it as well! The Ship is still in port and you still have a chance to get your boarding pass! But the ship&#8217;s gang-plank is about to be with-drawn and the ship will definitely leave port! Get your affairs in order, get your boarding pass now and be ready to leave! When the Captain comes to the bridge and gives the order, YOU will want to be aboard! Heaven is the destination and Jesus Christ is the ship and the Captain. After we set sail, the worst the world has ever known, even beyond that, will begin. The first 3 ½ years will be relatively quiet, but the last 3 ½ years will be worse than you could ever imagine! God&#8217;s Total wrath will commence all across the world and HE will wipe the globe clean of SIN and create the Earth has it was originally! Then Jesus Christ will begin HIS Millennial reign here on a NEW Earth and all those that have turned their back on Jesus Christ, will be in Eternal Damnation!                   Marantha Lord!</p>

<p>Medical Legal Art 2012 Nucleus Medical Media Inc.</p>
<p>I have about 40 years of Medical work on the Human Heart, that thing that pounds ever so lightly in the middle of your chest. Never has any one organ been so thoroughly dissected, drawn, pictured, explored, by Physicians and their Assistants in Modern Medical Societies. Most of all, no one has ever been able to manufacture a heart, with all the provisions or capabilities, that the Lord God Almighty did. This is truly an awe inspiring organ and still has not been fully researched and documented, to it&#8217;s fullest.</p>
<p>This society of ours, as humans, is so unaware of their own unique abilities and yet, wish to profess, that they are better than another. Using Common and rather ridiculous euphemisms like “Well&#8230;it&#8217;s all about me!” No&#8230;it is NOT all about you! It is important to note that each individual is important&#8230;to a certain degree. Each person has special talents and abilities, yet the true nature of this life is in the Society in which we live, Individuals as a whole, as a culture, even as a nation. Be sure that you understand, that in this life, it is the individual contribution to society as a whole, that truly matters. Looking at the pictures provided, you are able to see and distinguish the different parts of the Human heart, i.e., the left Ventricle (Main Pumping Chamber), the Electrical path from the Sino-Atrial Node to the Arterial-Ventricular node. What is so unique is, one part is <strong>NOT</strong> more important than another part, all must work in perfect harmony and Sync, in order for the individual Person to live. If there is no Heart, how will the Oxygenated Blood get moved around and latter become Venous Blood? If the Brain is not there, How will the Heart know how to beat? If the Lungs are not there, where and how will the Blood be oxygenated, to fulfill the needs of the Brain, which in turn makes the heart beat as it must? All the parts and their particular abilities are expressly needed for the “Entire Body” to function&#8230;”Normally”. Note here that I said “normally”. Note also, that we have not introduced any sort of movement or exertion of any kind, only that the body works in a Normal Fashion, that is conducive to Life. Medical expertise comes in to play when any one part is <strong>NOT</strong> working as originally meant.</p>
<p>The “SA Node” is the hearts pacemaker and must receive the electrical conduction from the “Vegas Nerve” at the base of your neck. Then the “SA Node” provides the electrical stimulus, at a particular timing and Milli-Amperage so that the rest of the Heart contracts or relaxes in a manner God intended it to. If that electrical stimulus does not occur, there is no heart beat, no heart beat, no blood is moved around and the Body will die. There MUST be perfect synchrony for this Heart to work and work well, considering that it must work for at least 70 years or better. Try and find anything “Man Made” that has that length of guaranteed lifespan! As you might surmise by now, I am making a correlation between the Individual and Society, by using the organs of our body as an example. Remember though, the body has constant needs that must be dealt with and on a recurring basis, eating for instance, or using the restroom. All the various parts of the Body are “Needful” every minute of every day, in order for each of us to live minute to minute. Thus when something goes wrong it can run from a simple cold to a Full-blown..catastrophic&#8230;Medical event&#8230;leading to death of the Body.</p>
<p>On that note, it is important to be continually evaluated, on a constant and unending basis, to be sure all parts are in good working order. We already know that someday we will all get old, we will all have Plaque build-up in our Arteries to some extent, of varying degrees, across a certain time frame and then one day will come, when our body will cease to function. In other words, our bodies are stamped with an “Expiration Date”, thing is&#8230;ONLY God knows that day and hour. In <strong>Psalm 14:1-3</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em> They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.</em></span>&#8221; How can anyone be so foolish, to say there is no God, when all they have to do is to investigate their own body to find God&#8217;s handi-work! I believe that many have no real idea of how their body works, the effort that is expended to live one minute! This is NOT science! This is God showing us, the small human, His power to a certain extent. Ask the “Fool” to take an accounting of what he “knows” about his body and then, take note of his Soul and Spirit as well.</p>
<p>Everyday, I must look at all that I have learned across the years in my Medical Life and think on them over and over again, you never know when they may come in handy for someone. At the same time, I am overwhelmed by the thought, that God made such a wonderful creation as a human. This leads to thinking about the reason we were created by God in the first place. For HIM to be our God and for us to be HIS people and to Love each other&#8230;right into Eternity! There is however, a downside to being a human, our Spiritual Hearts are wicked beyond comprehension and the Lord God Almighty hates this, it&#8217;s called “SIN”. It is evident, that satan brought this “SIN” into every Spiritual Heart of every single person, to ever live on this small and insignificant little planet Earth. That “SIN” is what separates us from God! If Jesus Christ had <strong>NOT</strong> given up HIS life on that Roman Cross, we would have NO life after our bodies die! No place for our Soul and Spirit to go, except for Eternal Condemnation! God fights our battles for us, because there is no way we would be able battle satan and win! It is more than evident that satan is the Father of Lies and Flies, the ultimate hater of we Humans and he will do anything and everything he can, to help each of us step into Eternal Damnation, right along side of him!! Think on that for a moment!! This individual hates God so much, he wants to destroy us, in order to hurt God!! Does this sound fair to any of you?! <strong>John 3:14-18</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.</strong></span></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em> For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.</em></span>&#8220;</p>
<p>Reading that last paragraph over and over again, does nothing more than to show us&#8230;How Loving and caring our Creator God is, HE wishes to save each and every one of us! Anyone that does not accept this “Free Will” gift through Jesus Christ&#8230;is not a fool&#8230;that individual is worse than a fool! Problem is, I can&#8217;t think of a better word, to describe that person! Can you?! That is absolutely the craziest person of all&#8230;wants things his way&#8230;wants to live forever&#8230;so what does he do?!?! He choose the path of Eternal Destruction! That is simply “In-conceivable” to me! 70 years of doing whatever you please and just for 70 or so years&#8230;but “Thinks” he/she is worthy of Heaven?? It is far easier for me to think, if a person is so diseased as that, he/she should be removed from society&#8230;that person is a human cancer!! These people should be happy, that the Lord God Almighty Loves them so much, despite their continual treachery, to the one that created them!</p>
<p>That sort of person, I once was! Each of us were once that person! And because of that evidence against each of us&#8230;me&#8230;I fall on my knees in continual humility and Praise and thank My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for this life of mine, regardless of how tough life is! I Pray to the Lord to return and take us out of this misery in the “Rapture”. At the same time, I am so very sorry for the People, that just can&#8217;t see what our life and the Lord are all about!! The horror to come in the “Tribulation” and the lose of life by the hand of God, because of their rebellion to HIM, makes my heart hurt, instills such fear for them. What ever they do, they need to be in the Rapture with the rest of us, they will not be able to stand against the Wrath of God, brought on them&#8230;because it&#8217;s just too hard for them to Believe!! Marantha Lord!!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been talking with many that I know and trying desperately to get them to see the events, taking place around this world, that give some-what of a time frame to the coming Rapture. For the most part, I am beginning to think, that I am failing. At times, even those close to me, just can&#8217;t see the trees because the forest is in the way! I am not willing to give up though! If the Lord thinks it is important for many to know what is to come, that is good enough for me to keep writing and speaking! I remember a number of years ago, I was particularly up-beat about the whole episode to come for this world. Then one day, I had a thought, “What if they will not understand&#8230;.simply because&#8230;.they are still blinded by this world?” Think on this for a moment, the Money, the power, the cars and houses and the big bank account are still more important than the Lord or HIS Word? We the True Bible Believers, are able to see through this mysterious veil and see it for what it really is! And the reason why is this, We were chosen by the Lord, long before the Universe was ever made! Besides that, the Lord never said, getting the Word of God out to others was going to be easy! In my mind though, it is simpler for me to believe the Word of God, to see that “Salvation or the Lack there of” is the ultimate question for every person ever born on this planet!</p>
<p>What boggles my mind is this; how far a person will go to keep from reading the Bible&#8230;or to conceive the idea of how not to read it. They spend more time and effort, when ultimately it would be easiest to just say no, I don&#8217;t want to read it! This tells me one thing, they have no idea what is in the Bible, but they do know, in their hearts, they should read it. I know, I know, they simply want to spare my feelings, but what are my feelings going to be when they die&#8230;.to Hell?! I had a Friend a few years ago, that had his own business and for a while he was doing really great. As it turned out, when the economy failed, so did his business and 100&#8242;s were left unemployed. While things were going well and he making millions, I would tell him to stop praying at the alter of money. He didn&#8217;t listen then and when his business fell though, he felt responsible and in the end had to deal with a lot depression. This was to the point he would never call me or take my calls, I had told him he needed to give the Lord the credit for his booming business. Instead he and the rest of the company, kept gouging the customers in every way, just to make more money. One day His Wife and Daughter were in town shopping, he went out on the back porch, took a shotgun and blew a hole through his chest. He never made an effort to think about the Lord or to accept the Lord&#8217;s Free gift of Salvation and now we all know where he is and where he will spend Eternity&#8230;.it breaks my Heart!!! Money and things&#8230;had clouded his thinking and brought nothing but misery and depression.  It would have been so much easier, to turn your life over to the Lord and let HIM take care of your life! To let the Lord direct you at every turn, to show you how to prosper and Let the Lord shine in your Life. This is what the Lord wants for us to do! That mysterious veil is nothing but a lie and all the years man has been on this earth, it has never changed. That states the obvious problem, that everyone should have already understood, “If it didn&#8217;t work for the first hundred people, what makes you think, it will be different for you?!” Let&#8217;s say that the first 100 people to go after this idea, took place within the first 500 years of man on this earth. Wouldn&#8217;t it be a good idea to follow a different path, there after? It is obvious that satan is doing his best to get you to believe that YOU can make the difference&#8230;simply because it&#8217;s YOU!! What a lie!! And to think, people still believe this lie and keep doing the same thing, talk about ignorance!</p>
<p>Jesus Christ never owned a home, HE never owned live stock, HE never owned a business. Can you guess why? Remember now HE is GOD&#8230;in human flesh! Those things are worthless in Heaven! In <strong>Matthew 6:20-21</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.</strong></em></span>&#8220;<strong>Luke 12:33-34</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.</strong></em></span>&#8221; Or maybe you remember where in <strong>John 4:24</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>God is a Spirit</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>: and they that worship him must </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>worship him in spirit and in truth</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>.</em></span>&#8221; And then we must not forget to read in <strong>Genesis 1:26-27</strong> “<span style="color:#eb613d;">And God said, </span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><strong>Let us make man in our image, after our likeness</strong></span><span style="color:#eb613d;">: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. </span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><strong>So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them</strong></span><span style="color:#eb613d;">.</span>” This means that God was making man and woman as a “Spirit”, our Soul and Spirit are like God, NOT our Bodies. It has everything to do with our Spirit, therefore <strong>anything outside of a Spiritual rhelm is worthless</strong>, that we are not to concern ourselves with that, it is of the world. Does this make sense? I truly hope so!</p>
<p>In the context of this world and the “Rapture” to come, it is even more relevant to us, that we read the Scriptures and Believe. In <strong>2 Corinthians 6:16-18</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord,</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em> and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.</em></span>&#8221; It means that, we are created in God&#8217;s Image, a Spirit, therefore everything we should seek, we should do so for the betterment of our Spirit, not the betterment of our bodies and this is so very important to know! In essence, the Word of God is telling us to forget about the physical world and all that is in it, it is worthless to us in the Long run. This understanding will make life for us&#8230;easier! It is said in <strong>Philippians 4:19</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>But my </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>God shall supply all your need </strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.&#8221; </em></span><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>1 Thessalonians 4:16-18</strong></span><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;</span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>and the dead in Christ shall rise first</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>: </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.</em></span><span style="color:#000000;">&#8221; In an instance, faster than conceivable in our imagination, our bodies will be changed to incorruptible! We will have the bodies Good originally had in mind for us. This change only takes place once you give your life to the lord and seek the things found only in Heaven. The things of this world will remain here on earth and will no longer be a concern to us. If that is the case, then why should we be concerned with the things of this earth while we&#8217;re here? Remember, money is nothing more than paper made from trees and ink from plants applied to it&#8230;it is worthless!! Stop and think for a moment, if God created this earth, wouldn&#8217;t he be able to create a home for you? It says in </span><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Luke 18:25-27</strong></span><span style="color:#000000;"> &#8220;</span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle&#8217;s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em> And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved? And he said, </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.</strong></em></span><span style="color:#000000;">” This leaves no doubt as to whom all things are possible for, whether they be Physical or Spiritual. In my opinion, it is far easier to follow Jesus Christ and KNOW I am going to Heaven. Jesus Christ stated in </span><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>John 15:4-6</strong></span><span style="color:#000000;"> &#8220;</span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>for without me ye can do nothing.</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em> If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.</em></span><span style="color:#000000;">&#8221; In Black and white my Friends, you can do nothing without Jesus Christ! You want to go to Heaven? Then you must come to Jesus Christ&#8230;there is no other way!! It&#8217;s one way or the other&#8230;.Heaven or Hell!!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="LEFT"><strong><span style="font-size:xx-small;">I</span></strong><span style="font-size:small;">t never ceases to amaze me, we can “Give” away Billions upon Billions of dollars to a Country like Pakistan or Afghanistan and yet, our own people suffer. Our Government has also told our own people, that we should not be the owner of any weapon of any kind and then turn away funds, that would aid our Police Departments. Our own Government has taken away funds that would assist our local Fire Departments as well and we have watched a Fire Department stand a ways off, as someones home burns to the ground. We see the “Up-tick” of grave violence in crimes across our Country and the victims are left to die, because of financial restrictions at the local level. And now, we read in the “Leftist News Media” that our Government Officials are going to reduce the number of our Military, the “Lean and More agile all-Voluntary Military”. Today, I read where President Obama has stated, talked to, inferred, asked, pleaded&#8230;whatever&#8230;that Companies across this Country, recall their “Out-Sourced Jobs”. This and many other things such as an “Open Border” policy and that any illegal immigrant can live here, work here (or not) and access Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, Emergency services of any kind, have children here and avail themselves of our Public Education &#8230;without any cost repercussion of any kind. Oh! It&#8217;s all coming to an end!! Fret&#8230;Fret!! WHAT??</span></p>
<p align="LEFT"><span style="font-size:small;">It is told in </span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><strong>Matthew 24:8-14</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"> &#8220;</span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em><strong>All these are the beginning of sorrows.</strong></em></span></span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em> Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for </em></span></span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em><strong>my name&#8217;s sake</strong></em></span></span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em>.

We remember in </span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><strong>John 13:34</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"> &#8220;</span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em>A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.</em></span></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">&#8221; How then, does this play into all that I stated above? </span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><strong>Ecclesiastes 9:1-3</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"> &#8220;</span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em>For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, </em></span></span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em><strong>are in the hand of God</strong></em></span></span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em>: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them. All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath. This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, </em></span></span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em><strong>that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, </strong></em></span></span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>and after that they go to the dead.</strong></span></em></span></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">&#8221; Of course when you go to be with the dead, it is what was done </span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><strong>during</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"> your life&#8230;that counts. Knowing this, </span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><strong>we</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"> should be “Different” from the rest of the world, NOT like those that are dying in their sin. In other words, We&#8230;the Saved to Jesus Christ&#8230;ARE different!!</span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">We already KNOW in our hearts that the RICHES of God are beyond our ability to know or imagine. Having read this, we now understand, that to be like our Father in Heaven, we should be the first to use the “Wisdom of the Lord” (through HIS Word) to conquer the ills of our little world, regardless of what they do or say. We KNOW the Lord&#8230;is Lord&#8230;over all!! It says in </span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><strong>Colossians 3:23-25</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"> &#8220;</span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em><strong>And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord</strong></em></span></span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em>, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.</em></span></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">&#8221; We see the rest of the world running around doing whatever they wish, because they see a dwindling of their resources. Remember, they have only the resources of this planet, not the Resources of the Lord God Almighty! So when we see the rest of the world running away from a problem, we should be running to them, Helping them, assuring them, that the Lord is still the Lord and all things and persons are in HIS capable hands. We should be relying on the resources of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, did HE not tell us to place our cares in HIS hands? Did HE create this world with HIS hands or did HE not? With this firmly in our minds and hearts and KNOWING our Lord as we should, our resources come from the Lord! We must feed them, we must assure all those that suffer that Jesus Christ Loves them and cares for them. Pull the money from our pockets and&#8230;give it to them! Do you not understand that money is nothing but paper with ink on it, do you not KNOW the Lord has riches untold?! So what is there for you, as a Born-Again Christian, to suffer as a lose?! Nothing!!</span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">Look at Matthew 24:8-14 again (Up above!!) do you see the evidence? What do you have to be afraid of, the lose of food or wealth to buy food? Did the Lord make manna to fall like rain for the Israelites as they wandered in the wilderness? Did the Lord provide them water from a rock and so now we worry that we won&#8217;t have food to eat or someplace to live? If you are worried about these things, then you are mis-guided and need to start reading the Word of God all over again! Ask yourself, when was the last time you planted a garden and watched the hand of the Lord at work? “</span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em>Oh! I don&#8217;t have a job and where will the next meal come from! How are we going to make the Mortgage payment and still pay for the utilities and the kids need clothes for school!!</em></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">” Oh worry, worry, worry! And you sit in Church and tell others that the Lord is Lord of your heart?? Where&#8217;s the proof?! You have the same problems as those that are not saved and your asking questions like that&#8230;when you KNOW you should hear your knees hitting the floor in reverence! Did the Lord ask us to bring our problems to HIM? Did HE say that HE loves you and will provide for all your Needs?!</span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">Here is the answer that will end the questions, like those at the beginning. It says in </span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><strong>James 4:1-7</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"> &#8220;</span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em>From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. </em></span></span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em><strong>Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss,</strong></em></span></span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em> that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that </em></span></span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em><strong>the friendship of the world is enmity with God</strong></em></span></span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em>? whosoever therefore will be a </em></span></span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em><strong>friend of the world is the enemy of God</strong></em></span></span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em>. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.</em></span></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">&#8221; There you are, the answer to all the problems we could ever face while we live in this world. And what about death?! Does the Bible not say&#8230;”</span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em>The Lord conquered death</em></span></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">” Does it also say that “</span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em>The Lord holds the keys to death and Hell</em></span></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">”? So tell me now, what are our problems&#8230;with whom&#8230;and for what reason?? Jesus Christ is Lord over all, Jesus Christ created the earth and everything in it&#8230;.of what should we be afraid?? “</span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em>To be absent of the Body is to be present with the Lord</em></span></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">”&#8230;IF&#8230;your life should be required of you. We MUST be careful of the “Worries” we associate ourselves with, are we “Different or not”?? Marantha Lord!</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="CENTER">Just finished reading the article by Ron Graham “The Kingdom of Darkness”. I truly understand the implications of this article and I am amazed by the depth of truth, which if viewed carefully, is vilified in our Leftist-News Media. I am also intrigued by the fact, that few have even taken notice of this downward spiral in our Governmental Affairs. It is in my estimation, according to the Bible, many have made it into the Halls of Highest Government positions&#8230;.as a patsy&#8230;for satan and his hordes. I am also aware they are there and they are made ignorant for a purpose, elected by the ignorant of God&#8217;s Holy Word. It is one thing to be ignorant through the lack of education, it is quite another, to be ignorant because the Lord God Almighty has designated it so. This must be another way the Lord shows us, that the “Intellect of Man” is foolishness to God. That is something surprising to have written in the History Books for our Children to read, a man or men, made stupid for the furtherance of Gods Holy and Perfect Plan! Amazing!</p>
<p>I remember reading about all the horrible things that are going to take place during the “Tribulation”. I also remember wondering how all these things will take place, famine for instance. Think on this for a moment! Texas has seen a very hard Drought this 2011 and so, on that note, I was wondering how this would effect the production of grains, especially for the future. Keep in mind, the “Rapture” is very, very, close at hand, thusly, the Famine or the Mother of all Famines, would take place during the Tribulation, as spoken in the Bible. I kept thinking to myself, that this would have to be a situation, that would require a fairly lengthy set-up time. Not only a time oriented collapse, but with an intricate set of details as well. Bringing water to an area known for it agricultural prowess, would not be difficult, expensive yes, but not difficult in the least, especially with today&#8217;s technology. Having stated this, I began to think of the intricate process required for Planting, watering and Growing Grain. I have endeavored in the past to have a Garden of my own, with Tomatoes, Cucumber, Sweet Peppers. I am by no means a Farmer, as my Garden is quite small, but&#8230;the requirements are the same, only the magnitude is different. I remember the time when the blossoms would appear and with them, so did the number of Honey Bees. A very integral part of the pollination process!</p>
<p>The “ <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Press Association</strong></span>” brought this article to attention on “<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Yahoo News”</strong></span>;</p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>A mysterious phenomenon that has decimated honey bee populations could be linked to a &#8220;zombifying&#8221; parasitic fly, scientists believe. Colony collapse disorder (CCD) is marked by the sudden disappearance of worker bees from a colony.</em></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>It was first recognized as a serious problem by US beekeepers in 2006, but has also affected bee colonies across western Europe. In some of the recorded cases, bee losses have reached levels of up to 90%. Viral and fungal infections and toxic chemicals in pesticides have all been suggested as possible explanations for CCD.</em></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>The new theory involves the parasitic fly <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Apocephalus borealis </span>which is already known to attack bumble bees. Evidence has now emerged of the fly targeting honey bees. The insect lays its eggs in the abdomens of bees, which start displaying &#8220;zombie&#8221; behavior, abandoning their hives en masse to congregate near lights. Finally they die, and the fly larvae emerge from their bodies.</em></span></span></span></p>
<p>All of a sudden, the entire process becomes one of a future calamity, that only God could bring about! Like I said, it is easy to bring water to an area needed for the Production of Grain, it is quite a different story trying to stop the Hand of <em>God. </em>Flies have been around this earth for a very, long time and never before has man been able to eradicate them, or even scratch the surface of eradication. Here again, the intellect of man falls short! And then to think, that the first knowledge of this parasite was in 2006&#8230;we are way behind on the curve! One only needs to remember that all things across the earth, that live and grow, are made up of varying types of tissue&#8230;the Breeding ground of Flies, as they decompose. We need no more than to look around us, to see the Hand of God at work, these things profess the Perfect Plan of our Lord and Savior, that HE will make HIS Prophecies come to bear on man&#8230;the “Tribulation”.</p>
<p>If one needs to see more, how about the thousands of fish that have died for no apparent reason? Is there a hand in this, by God, telling we humans that the “Judgement of the Lord is Coming”?? If in fact, we do see this, then why are so many still not accepting the Bible as “The Word of God”? How is it that, the vast majority of the Worlds Population, does <strong>NOT</strong> accept the Bible as fact, that it is indeed the bearer of Prophecy, concerning the “Rapture and the Tribulation”. Taking into account, that the Bible has been verified and vilified as the Word of God, one would think the Prophecies alone would be sought out by the Leaders of all Nations. It will not be without consequence on humanity, that ignorance of the Word of God will condemn the vast majority to the various calamities in the Bible. Be it known then, the Bible states that the Prince of the Air&#8230;satan&#8230;condemns and the Holy Spirit&#8230;Convicts. Big difference here! I prefer to be <em>convicted</em> of my Sin and allowed to be “<em>Forgiven</em>” through the Blood of Jesus Christ on the Cross at Calvary. It is another to be <em>Condemned</em> of my Sin&#8230;by satan (Who hates me!)&#8230;and then made to pay for my Sin&#8230;in Hell for Eternity!!As horrible as the aspects of the “Tribulation” are, there has been hope in the Bible, and oddly enough, has been there for better than 2600 years, for all to see. It is also note-worthy, that by the time the “Tribulation” begins, the entire world will KNOW of the Bible, as the Word of God! Marantha Lord!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Philippians 4:19-20</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>But my God shall supply all your need</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em> according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.</em></span>&#8221; Here we are in the through of ending 2011 and beginning 2012. Millions are in desperate need of a job, even if that job merits $9.00-$12.00 an hour. Our hay-day of the past is exactly like time, it&#8217;s gone and so are the big high-paying jobs, sad as that may be. Many will never see those jobs of yester-year again and in consequence the lifestyles as well. Many like me, will rely on the Ford Taurus line of vehicles, because they are penny-pinchers with gasoline, they are sturdy and easy and inexpensive to fix, thus a well made vehicle, that can stand the test of time. One particular thought comes to mind and then is vilified through out the media, “<em>I used to have a BMW, a big House in a great gated neighborhood and my kids went to the best of schools. I never had to worry about anything, because I had a big bank account, stocks and money market funds. Now&#8230;I just wish I could put food on the table 3 times a day and still have a little money after utilities</em>”. Has it ever occurred to anyone, to stop and wonder why this thing has come about? As much as I fear, this statement above has been stated by “Born-Again Christians” as much as those that are unsaved. So the question then is, WHY? Reread the verse above, the answer is there! Believers putting their faith and trust in their “Things” rather than in the hands of our Lord and Savior. Do you remember <strong>Ephesians 2:4-9</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.</strong></em></span><strong>&#8221; </strong>It makes me wonder just how calloused we truly are?</p>
<p>We sit at the precipice of the “Rapture of the Church” and the beginning of the “Tribulation” as outlined by the Bible and we worry for what we used to have?! Have you ever considered the fact, that the Lord is trying to tell you something, HE sure did with me! Lets stop and think for a moment, what if the Lord comes tomorrow evening? What should our frame of mind be? What about humility and Reverence before the Lord, it says in <strong>Proverbs 15:31-33</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong> The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.</strong></em></span>&#8221; The Catholics have jumped on this verse big time, their life is to be a Vow of humility. Which means nothing actually, except that they have missed a very integral part of the Bible, that it should be a “Desire of the Heart”. Do you remember that the Bible says in <strong>Hebrews 4:12</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>intents of the heart</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>.</em></span><span style="color:#000000;">” And then in </span><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>John 15:1-7 </strong></span><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;</span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. </strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em> If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>.</em></span><span style="color:#000000;">&#8221; I fail to see where anyone will </span><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>not</strong></span><span style="color:#000000;"> understand the true meaning of these verses, or fail to understand why the “Things” of this world, are useless and have no real value. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">We see that the “Desires of our Heart” is what separates us and the Lord, it is the intent found in our Hearts. Everything we read in the Bible, God&#8217;s Holy Word to us, speaks of humility, being Humble like a child, before God. Therefore, the lose of “Things” in our lives can be interpreted as being a “Humbling” event, the Lord turning our hearts and minds to HIM for all that we need. Notice here, that I said “Our Needs”! Understand there is a difference between Our Needs and Our Wants! It says in </span><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Luke 18:16-17</strong></span><span style="color:#000000;"> &#8220;</span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>as a little child</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em> shall in no wise enter therein.</em></span><span style="color:#000000;">&#8221; That says it all!! </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">As we watch this world devour itself and turn everything inside out, we must keep in mind, What the Lord wants of us, as HE returns and calls us home in the Rapture. Anyone of wealth or Position in life, will find it is not the dividing criteria according to the Lord and if you, by chance, think so&#8230;wait and see whom remains and who goes in the Rapture. The Criteria for Heaven is richly found, within the pages and pages, on RaptureReady.com. People of knowledge and Wisdom of the Lord, expounding the Truths of the Bible and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and of all the Prophecies according to the “End Times”. The Rapture and the Tribulation are a part of the Prophecies and yet we must continue to preach the Wisdom of the Lord found in His Gospels, otherwise we will end up neglecting the Necessities for Salvation. It continually amazes me, how intricately the inter-weaving of the Word of God is, you can not have one part without declaring the value of the rest. I marvel how the Old Testament is the foundation for the entire Bible and yet the New Testament brings the whole into the perspective of our daily needs today. As you read the New Testament, it rolls you back to the Old Testament and vise versa. Trust when I say, there are many writers that would give their arms and legs to be able to roll a novel, that can do such. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">When one is able to look at the sheer Power of Our Lord and Savior, one can only be humbled to the extreme, the Lord&#8217;s Power goes beyond our ability to conceive or understand. Keeping the Lord&#8217;s Power in mind, we then understand a verse like </span><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Matthew 10:28-31</strong></span><span style="color:#000000;"> &#8220;</span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>.</em></span><span style="color:#000000;">&#8221; Each and everyone of us are Known by the Lord God Almighty, HE created each of us. Having said that, do you understand a little better why we must keep the “Intent of Our Hearts” according to the Perfect Will of the Lord? </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">This area of the Word of God, is also the area that turns many away from the Lord. Many will endeavor to “adjust” the Word of God to suit themselves and their decisions and desires. Many will be too Proud of Heart, to be willing to bow, to the Perfect Will of God, that is, until they stand before the Son of God. It is more simple to say, the Lord will govern my entire Life and thus I receive Heaven, than to worship our “Things” and spend Eternity in Hell! As strange as it may be, the vast majority are more willing to acquire “Wealth and Pleasures” of this life, which lasts approximately 70 years, than to think in the Long term of Eternity. With this sort of thinking, do you see the difficulty in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ? And yet this is exactly what the Lord asks us to do! Schools teach us how to count, higher education teaches us the value of looking forward and planning ahead. Yet for all that we Preach and teach, the vast majority never takes the Time line, of 70 years verses Eternity, into account and then consider Salvation. The “Great Delusion” has been in force for quite a spell now, but come the Tribulation&#8230;it will explode on this earth and the world&#8230;.like no other! To the point it will even effect the “Elect of God” that will still be here. It is then, the Vastness of Eternity, the sheer Power of our God, the depth of HIS Love for us, that will free us from this world and make us whole. The humbleness of our Hearts, the Love for our Lord and Savior, is the only life line we have and yet it is sufficient for us. Jesus Christ still saves, Praise the Lord! Marantha Lord!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alrighty then, as Jim Fletcher of “RaptureReady.com” stated I am going to put on my Big Boy pants and make a startling comment! It is FACT that My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem&#8230;a JEW&#8230;and he was born to Mary and Joseph&#8230;who were JEWS as well. Mary and Joseph, the parents of Jesus Christ, were in the lineage of King David and Mary and Joseph and Jesus worshiped God in the Synagogue in Jerusalem. Jesus Christ is Lord, HE is also God&#8230;in human form, as is the Holy Spirit is God and the Father is God, they are the personage of God&#8230;all together!! Now&#8230;if you have a problem with that&#8230;first realize, it is YOUR problem, not mine! I already KNOW these facts and I call Jesus Christ my Lord&#8230;I have NO problem with prostrating myself in HIS view. I am HIS servant, I will do as HE asks me to do and if that calls for my death, then so be it!! I KNOW where I am going to be in Eternity&#8230;Heaven with my Lord and Savior!</p>
<p>As I stated in my last writing, I am an “Saved Alpha Dog” who desperately wants to be more like a “Saved Beta Dog”. If you recall, I use this naming to make it easier to see my faults and learn from others, but&#8230;I will NOT follow or listen to anyone, that speaks against the Word of God to us, the Bible. The Lord God almighty has shown me many things in my own life that proves to me&#8230;HE is GOD! HE has shown me how my Life came to be and by whom and HIS hand was in everything long before I was ever thought of. My Lord knows my errors and Sin&#8230;as do I&#8230;and it is HIS Love that covered my SIN with HIS precious Blood on the Cross at Calvary. I enjoy saying “I am so saved in ain&#8217;t even funny” and as a matter of Fact&#8230;my being saved is down-right serious!</p>
<p>The next thing that I remember, was the overwhelming need to study the Word of God, to better understand why I am here and what I am suppose to be doing while I&#8217;m here. I am still working on this part and I probably will be for the rest of my Life. The reason is simple actually, as I read the Word of God, I ask for His Wisdom and Discernment, which the Lord provides and then I sit back and watch each and every verse expand in every direction. The verses of the Bible take on a Life of their own and they grow deeper and the verbiage expands as well, translation is enormous, thus I learn and learn and continue. This is what the “Unsaved Individual” never sees in the Bible, no matter how many times they read it, it never makes sense to them.</p>
<p>I WANT to KNOW&#8230;my Lord and Savior, I want to KNOW why HE would die on a Roman Cross for someone like me, so as I read and read, I begin to understand HIS love. At the moment, I yearn to see HIS face, to put my ear to HIS chest and hear HIS Heart, the heart that stopped for three days, just to save a worthless individual as me. Here&#8217;s what is so weird, Jesus Christ thinks I am so valuable, that HE would give up HIS life to save someone like me and yet the world would rather I not consume another breathe of air. Therefore to the world I say this, you think you have what it takes to take me out?! Bring it on!!! Now, if by sheer chance, you succeed, know this&#8230;YOU will have actually sent me where I want to be&#8230;with my Lord and Savior&#8230;in anticipation of this feat&#8230;Thank you from the bottom of my Heart! By the same token, if you fail, the next person you will see is Jesus Christ, but sadly, your destination will not be what you want it to be! As my Dad used to say, “Put that in your pipe and smoke it!” <strong>John 15:18-19</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you</em></span>.&#8221; That speaks volumes to me! I am not trying to be obnoxious here, I am speaking the truth, with my Lord&#8230;I fear nothing and no one! Come time, I will hear my Lord say to me, <strong>Matthew 25:23</strong> &#8221; <span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things:</em></span> <span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>enter thou into the joy of thy lord.</strong></em></span>&#8221; That is all I want to hear my Lord say, and when I look into HIS eyes, I will see HIS joy and Happiness, what more could anyone ask for??</p>
<p>Somewhere along the way, people have gotten on the wrong foot, they somehow think they can DO something great enough to BUY their way into Heaven! That is totally WRONG!! That is satan talking to you and like an idiot, your listening to him, just like Adam and Eve. It says in <strong>John 15:5-7</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>for without me ye can do nothing</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.</strong></em></span>&#8221; There it is, in writing, straight from the Word of God, the Bible! You can NOT say enough “Hail Mary&#8217;s” and you can NOT say enough “Our Father&#8217;s” and if you pray to Mary, your Prayers will never be heard&#8230;Jesus Christ is Lord! THERE IS NO OTHER GOD! JESUS CHRIST IS LORD AND GOD! If you so desire to pray&#8230;and&#8230;you want your prayers to be heard&#8230;then pray to God&#8230;and no other! <strong>John 14:6-7</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>Jesus saith unto him, </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.</em></span>&#8221; There is no other explanation, there is no other way, there is only one God and HE is the only one that hears your Prayers! Your relationship with the Lord God Almighty&#8230;is a “One on One” relationship&#8230;Jesus Christ is Lord of all and Jesus Christ is GOD!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The point is this! The problem is not me or anyone like me&#8230;it is YOU! YOU have until the moment of your death or the Rapture, to find Jesus Christ and make a relationship with HIM&#8230;on HIS terms, not your terms! After death or the Rapture, there are only two places to go&#8230;Heaven&#8230;or hell! It is YOUR decision, not anyone else&#8217;s&#8230;and there will not be any acceptable excuses&#8230;you are either saved by Grace of Jesus Christ&#8230;you go to Heaven&#8230;or you are not saved and your are certainly headed for Hell! One last thing to remember&#8230;either way you go&#8230;it will last for Eternity&#8230;that is forever and ever!!</p>
<p>“RaptureReady” is here along with others, that believe the Word of God is the absolute truth, that Jesus Christ is Lord over all and all of us will stand before HIM&#8230;and HE will either be your Father&#8230;or your Judge and executioner! It is vitally important that you understand, the DECISION has always be YOURS to make! No one will ever be able to intercede for you, there is no human&#8230;righteous enough for that task, no Priest&#8230;no Pastor&#8230;no Rabbi&#8230;no Imam&#8230;whatever, able to save you from eternal hell! As Jesus Christ said “<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>I am the way the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father except by me</strong></em></span>”!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Everything in the Word of God, the Bible, points to this one central idea and it is the truth, because God said so, for me that is enough! The “Rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ” is very, very, close to taking place. Being that time is so very, very, short, take a few moments and ask the Lord for HIS Wisdom and Discernment and then read the Bible! Start in Matthew and read, try and understand that Jesus Christ Loves you as much as HE loves me, He doesn&#8217;t want you to go to Hell, but YOU must ask HIM into your Life! It doesn&#8217;t matter what you have ever done before in your Life, no matter whatever you think you have done wrong! Jesus Christ is here and is always willing to accept you and forgive you of your sin, if you will ask HIM to! You will then be an adopted Son of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and you will inherit Heaven for Eternity! Being that no one ever knows the day of their death, it is always a sudden occurrence, it makes this need more important than ever. Don&#8217;t wait, don&#8217;t put it off, you will never know when today&#8230;ends for you! I Hope and Pray I will see you in the Rapture, so until then may the Lord Bless and keep you, until we sit at HIS feet in Heaven. Marantha Lord!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been watching the news and all the other media, as of late and it dawned on me, people in general have truly mislead themselves. Some how we have lead ourselves into believing, that we are somehow greater than all things put together! In essence, we are telling ourselves we are greater than God Himself! I have looked at the whole of the population and feel it is easier for me to understand people when I use a slightly different categorization method. There is NOT any particular group of Individuals, named here, that are inherently bad or wrong, or even good or great for that matter. It is simply a categorization, an effort for simplicity.</p>
<p>Many will say this is incorrect, that they do not believe in God and this group above all are the most worrisome. We could also state that the first group are the “Alpha Dogs”, the ones that prey on all the others, are the ones more prone to be the “Dictator type”. This group, are the ones that become the Seals or Green Berets of the population. They have the will and determination to go above and beyond to accomplish their goals or the goals of those above them. This is by NO means, meant to be taken in a purely bad light, because there are many that deserve our praise for their efforts. It is rather, a “Type” of individual that is willing, able and trained to use all manner of persuasion on others, to complete their task. These people are the ones that are always out-front and center, whether vocal or not, but they tend to work at getting something started and then usually are the ones that follow through, with bull-headed determination, at the least.</p>
<p>1) The “<strong>Saved Alpha Dog</strong>”, are the Pastors and Preachers, the leaders of religion and theology, determined in their lives to understanding the Word of God. These are the Missionaries in other countries, willing able to go the extra mile to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the masses that have never known of HIM. These are extraordinary individuals, with vision and a consignment to persevere where others fear to go! They are simply great people with the Will and determination to see their mission through. For them, death is not something to fear, they have finally reached the point where they are able to embrace it, rather than run from it. For these individuals, they truly believe as The Apostle Paul did, that “<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord</strong></em></span>”!</p>
<ol>
<ol>
<ol start="2">
<li>The “<strong>Unsaved Alpha Dog</strong>”, are the ones to be feared! These are the ones that become the Dictators in this world, the ones that will NOT stop at anything to get their way and its usually about them before anyone else. For these individuals there is NO God but themselves and they require of everyone else the same. They are the CEO’s of the Big Companies, the Heads of State, Presidents and such, but their goals are always for themselves. The Big bucks are meant for them, no one else is good enough to be where they are, they are also the worst of murders and thieves and liars, bar none. They are also the ones that are the “<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>Fools that say in their heart, there is no God</strong></em></span>!” For lack of a better description, they believe they are God and that everyone else should feel the same about them. These individuals are the worst of the worst and the world is full of them, as we have seen as of late, they are not hard to find. Their contempt of others is so great, they are the easiest to see and know what their heart is filled with, anger, hatred and violence. The Rules are for everyone else, NOT them!</li>
</ol>
</ol>
</ol>
<p><strong>The “Beta Dog Type</strong>” There is another group that will say, that they do not believe they are greater than God, but are simply doing whatever they wish, whatever they think is best for all. Now the second group are not quite the “Alpha Dog” type, I like to call them the “Beta Dog Type” ,but they wish they were Alpha dogs. The problem, by-in-Large, is they are not willing to deal with violence or be associated with anything like that, because they feel it is simply a filthy way to handle things, but their “Carfti-ness” is of re-known, in worldly affairs.</p>
<ol>
<ol>
<ol>
<li>The “<strong>Saved Beta Dog</strong>” has a heart, as well as high intellect and is willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done,, even if they do it themselves. These individuals support the Pastors or Preachers and the Missionaries and are a great source of help to them. These are the Theologians, the Thinkers and the dreamers, but are more willing to allow others to garner the accolades than themselves. They are also the ones in the Wings, So-to-speak, can take front stage on certain, yet well defined, occasions. They are not less than anyone else, yet they see their goals with the Lord in a more defined and less volatile circumstance. They love the research, the game if you will&#8230;they are proven worthy in their huge hearts an humility. Their greatest work is done in the personal arena, usually alone, where they feel most comfortable. They don&#8217;t want to be the Colonel, they prefer to be the NCOIC (non Commissioned Officer in Charge), yet their loyalty and ability to get things rolling are resonant through out their community. They are great thinkers, wise investors, collegiate to fault, loyal above all. They essentially fill the largest gap with their knowledge and Love for the Lord.</li>
</ol>
</ol>
</ol>
<ol>
<ol>
<ol>
<ol start="2">
<li>The “<strong>Unsaved Beta Dog</strong>” is an individual of intellect, that loves to be in the dark. He/She loves to “Wheel-n-deal” to newer heights and does not have a problem with whomever they destroy. This is one of those, that loves to use the Alpha Dogs and their propensity for showing off, to their benefit, that is, as long as the price is right. Their very high intellect leads them to believe, that to rule&#8230;.without a name&#8230;.is far better. Their ultimate goal is, stealth, deception, lies and back-stabbing for sheer profit, not notoriety. They love to giggle in glee as they check they&#8217;re bank accounts! What is bad for them, is when they are found out, usually as the ruling individual takes a nose-dive in popularity, for these, death is so unbecoming. They are also the great gamblers, the heads of departments in Governments. Usually making more financially than the Head.</li>
</ol>
</ol>
</ol>
</ol>
<p>Finally, we have the “<strong>She-oeple</strong>” an individual that doesn&#8217;t care for the other two, or their actions and would just as soon leave all the Brooha alone. They choose to doggedly go about their day, with what they have and be left alone, which for most is how they die&#8230;alone. Does this make them wrong? Absolutely NOT. As long as there is no war to wage! Their intellect is normal and thus their understanding and Wisdom are normal, they are the Drones for the other two and they comprise the majority of people. In actuality, these are the greatest of all the people! In times of war, they are the ones that distinguish themselves above all others, because they are willing to give the most, for the right cause. They are also the True Patriots and as the Bible says, they are the salt of the earth.</p>
<ol>
<ol>
<ol>
<li>The “<strong>Saved Sheople</strong>” are the masses everyone relies on for notoriety and fame! As a whole they possess the greatest of wealth and yet they are the ones that suffer the most. These are the ones that would give you the shirt on their back, would feed your hunger and thirst. They are also the greatest of Witnesses for the Lord, theirs is one on one every time. They have no pulpit to profess the Truths of our Lord and Savior and the veracity of the Word of God, the Bible from. They are the true Believers in Jesus Christ, they support the Pastors, Preachers and theologians and Missionaries, with what they have&#8230;.but they give with their whole hearts! These are also the ones that give all that they have in time of war and they die, unknown and uncared for, except by those that are just like them.</li>
<li>The “<strong>Unsaved Sheople</strong>” are the ones that hate everyone including themselves! Their intellect is low and their understanding of life is even worse, thus they comprise the worst afflicted with disease. These unfortunate individuals are the ones we see on TV News going to jail, being executed and also wiped off the face of the earth, never to be remembered. They also possess the largest amount of ambivalence, hatred and anger, perpetrating the greatest of Crime and mayhem, in the end destroying themselves. I fear for these more than any other, their need of Jesus Christ in their lives is paramount! Yet they doggedly follow the whims of those above them and define themselves to be more than they actually are. How sad for them that they die, without a Heavenly destination! Their ignorance speaks volumes about their lives and existence here. Above all others, these need Jesus Christ the most!</li>
</ol>
</ol>
</ol>
<p>What most need, that are in these three categories, is Jesus Christ. And yet the Bible has already stated “<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>that the road to destruction is wide and many will walk it</em></span>”. The biggest problem is getting the Word of God to all, in these categories, someone to show them the way to Heaven, that “<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>The road to Heaven is narrow and FEW will find it</em></span>!” And if that isn&#8217;t bad enough to understand, let me say this&#8230;we are the ones responsible&#8230;for only bringing a few to the Lord. Yes, I understand that only Jesus Christ can save anyone, after all, it was HIS blood on that Cross, but what were we told to do? Have we done what the Lord has asked us to do and have our lives proved to all the others&#8230;whom we follow?? “<em>Well&#8230;it was only a little back-sliding, you know, now and then! It&#8217;s not like I was waving a flag at the time, ya know!</em>” Really?! The question keeps coming back, who was watching you, when you did not show whom you follow?! Were your actions “Pleasing to the Lord”?!</p>
<p>My Point with all of this is, with the “Rapture and the Tribulation” so very close, are we being what the Lord asked us to be? Please think on this for a moment&#8230;the lives of millions are at stake! I know, we can&#8217;t save all of them, but did we do our absolute best&#8230;with those that came along to us?? Or were we afraid of the “Alpha and Beta Dogs and the sheer numbers of the Sheople”?? Jesus Christ went to the Cross at Calvary&#8230;.with YOU and ME&#8230;in HIS mind and Heart&#8230;and HE went WILLINGLY! Shouldn&#8217;t our lives be worth going that extra mile as well, if it is for the Lord?! Rest assured, the difference of a few and a lot&#8230;falls on our shoulders!! Is this not what we consider, “Our reasonable Job”?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are very few in this world that are willing to say “Everything is okay” because everything is NOT okay. We presently live in a fallen world, where deceit and lies run rampant, take a look at our leaders! Take a look at our schools, they no longer allow any sort of Bible study or even prayer to take place. Our President bows to Muslim leaders! That is not only wrong, but a slap in the face of every American individual, that still loves this Country. Congress caters to the rich and why is this? They comprise that level of wealth and feel that this is their due reward for their position, they no longer represent the everyday American, they are in that position to create their own wealth, at the expense of hard-working Americans. Congressmen are all millionaires and to fight for the average American is to decrease their financial Standing! This is plain and simple and all of us see! Stand back for a moment and look at all these things and you will see them for what they truly are, they are known by their fruit. Do you remember the Bible verse that says, <strong>2 Timothy 3:1-5</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>This know also, that in the </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">last days</span></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em> perilous times shall come. </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em> Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.</em></span>&#8221; Every person that is a student of the Bible, knows these verses well and when we look around us, every single word is falling into place, just like a puzzle. Even the Leftist Media are counted among these people, they spend a great deal of money and time, deceiving the elect, as well as the unsaved. My question is, “Why are you allowing this to continue??”</p>
<p>In my humble opinion, it is the “End of Times” and we are witnessing exactly what the Bible, God&#8217;s Holy Word to us, has stated, please see the verse above. I Believe that God is already using the “Great Delusion”. Despite anything we, the Believers, may write or others to Preach, few are listening. For the vast majority of others, they believe that their wealth will protect them, or their position. In <strong>Revelation 3:20-22</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.</em></span>&#8221; There is no other way to find God, than to Come to Jesus Christ, in<strong> John 14:5-7</strong> it says &#8220;<em>Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?</em> <span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>Jesus saith unto him, </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.</em></span>&#8221; The only protection anyone has from what the Lord God Almighty&#8217;s wrath, which HE has already appointed this world to suffer, is through the Blood of Jesus Christ on the Cross at Calvary! That IS the only option left for anyone!!</p>
<p>Let me be blunt. You can sit in church all your adult life and hear the sermons, you can be a very good person, always ready and willing to help anyone in need, but if you have never asked Jesus Christ to take over your Life, forgive you of your sin and follow HIM with your whole Heart&#8230;.YOU are NOT saved. You must be washed in the Blood of Jesus Christ! And that my Friend, is the name of that tune! And when the “Tribulation” begins, you will suffer just as easily as anyone else! The True Followers of Jesus Christ will have been removed or caught up into the air with Jesus Christ, in the “Rapture”, because we are not meant to suffer God&#8217;s wrath on humanity. It is said in <strong>2 Peter 3:9-10</strong> &#8220;T<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>he Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.</em></span>&#8221; There it is, straight from the Bible, which is God&#8217;s Holy Word to us, which has survived for better than 2600 years!</p>
<p>What is so remarkable to me and I&#8217;m sure many others, is that, the Bible older than 2600 years, so few read it and understand it, much less take it to heart! It&#8217;s also remarkable, in that the Bible being around for so very long, our leaders know nothing of it! One would think, having Prophecy or the future right there in your hands, they would jump at the chance to know the future. It is one thing to have Gods Word here in the world, it is another thing for those that need it the most&#8230;to read it&#8230;.and even less to trust it! And these are the same people that call us “Fundamentalist Fools”! At least, I KNOW what is coming and I, like so very many others, are trying to get the word out about the “Rapture and the Tribulation that follows”. This is REAL&#8230;this is going to take place! This is according to the Prophecy in the Bible, God telling us in plain language, what HE is Going to do! And to think, that so many, the vast majority, are not willing to even read the Bible?? They deserve the Wrath of the Lord, if for nothing else than their sheer stupidity! That&#8217;s like a man that can&#8217;t swim, drowning in a lake and someone throws him a life-line and the drowning turns and says he doesn&#8217;t need it!! How utterly foolish!! Satan is still deceiving the world! I just can&#8217;t help but wonder why everyone wishes to believe a Lie!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s another question. Do you understand or remember your elementary Arithmetic? If you do, what is the difference between 70 years and forever?? Why would I ask this?? The Bible says we get roughly three Score and tens years to live (That&#8217;s 70 years) on this planet. You have a choice to continue living forever, if you come to Jesus Christ and follow HIM! Yet the Bible also states, the vast majority of people through out all of time, will not accept the “Free Will Gift” through Jesus Christ! These people are saying they would rather have wealth for 70 years than to have everything&#8230;forever! Did I miss something here? Or is it the majority of the world, that has missed something here?! Come on people, this is simple arithmetic, it&#8217;s NOT rocket Science! You have to understand it like this! Which would you like, a bath tube toy full of gold for a short while or to live forever in paradise with everything?! See what I mean here??</p>
<p>“Do I have to tell everyone that I am a Believer? Or&#8230;you know&#8230;run around handing out Tracks??” If you think being a Believer is like that, you need to reread the Bible. Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to Heaven. Yes, it is true&#8230;you will desire to live a harmonious Life, a life that shines on Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Yes, you will desire to tell others about the Lord, but it will be because of all that HE will do for you! For all that HE has already done for you! Running around and acting like Hare&#8217; Krishna&#8230;is not what the Life of a True Believer is like, at all! That is what is portrayed in Hollywood! I&#8217;ll tell you this much, living here on earth during the “Tribulation” will be so very bad, no one in Hollywood will ever have the imagination to think of it. It will be beyond the imagination of anyone, maybe that why so few believe. They simply can not conceive how horrible the coming destruction will be! Therefore, they believe it to be nonsense! Ask yourself, was the Flood in Noah&#8217;s time real? Was the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah real, after all, the Intellectuals know the area where Sodom and Gomorrah once was, but there is no more trace of it, no artifacts at all! It was completely destroyed, just as the Bible has stated!</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t this something to think about? To Ponder? What if the Bible is correct? What if you are not saved and you must endure the “Tribulation”?! It has always been your choice, the entire reason for you being here, is to make that one choice! So&#8230;if you decide one way or the other&#8230;who is truly responsible for that Choice?? YOU!! It&#8217;s a simple Black Line, Jesus Christ is one side and satan on the other and it&#8217;s up to you to choose which side you wish to stand on. One side leads to Heaven and Paradise for ever! The other to continuous death and suffering forever! Your one decision!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“There is no way the Bible&#8230;is correct! It is constantly being conflicting in it&#8217;s view! Therefore, the Bible is wrong and there is no God!!” this is exactly what I have read on different websites, by those that are NOT saved to Jesus Christ. And how do they come up with these statements and then get others to believe this drivel as well? It says in <strong>1 Corinthians 1:24-28</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em> And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are.</em></span>&#8221; We first need to ask ourselves, and these people, how did you come about with this statement? In the Scripture above, it lays out who is smarter than whom, right? The Lord God Almighty has already told us, that <strong>WE</strong> will only be able to understand&#8230;just so much&#8230;and that&#8217;s it! It is called having a “Finite Mind”, think in terms of the Proverbial “Jack-in-the -box” it has measurements and dimensions that are measurable, therefore it has boundaries, borders, a beginning and an end and then nothing more. That being the case, you will not be able to know or learn more than God wants you to, that&#8217;s the name of that tune! So how do we go about learning more? First, we must come to Jesus Christ and accept HIS gift through HIS Blood from the Cross. Then we must ask the Lord for his “Wisdom and Discernment”! The Lord makes it possible for us to learn more.</p>
<p>This IS the Secret. Being “Born-Again” means that you give up your Body, your Soul and Your Spirit to Jesus Christ! And with this, being done in all Ernest, and the fact that the Lord knows your Heart, he provides according to your commitment to HIM. Oh Wow&#8230;.a relationship?! Who would&#8217;a thought??? If you come to the Bible, to discredit the Word of God, then YOU will simply fail and fail miserably! To say YOU have read the Bible&#8230;means absolutely NOTHING!!! You have wasted your time, because you will never understand a thing in it, I don&#8217;t care how intellectually trained you are! You will miss the Possibilities, the Promises, but more than that&#8230;YOU won&#8217;t have the Wisdom or understanding! Having said that, you would be ignorant of the Word of God! This and what you say (The Bible is incorrect) makes you look stupid and not just to the Believer! Of course, you would never know this secret, unless a Believer tells you and we simply can&#8217;t have that!! Why&#8230;YOUR the Intellectual, right?</p>
<p>Satan, the Father of Lies and Flies, has such a good record for making people believe his drivel. All you have to do, is look around you or read the news, the world is full of &#8216;em! On that note, does this mean there is no hope for these people? Absolutely NOT! Jesus Christ&#8230;God in Human form&#8230;came to this planet to make that difference for us, to “Willingly” sacrifice HIS life&#8230;thereby forgiving us for our SIN. The problem with the “UnSaved” is that they prefer to continue in ways that make them happy and oddly enough, all that they do falls in the “It&#8217;s all about me” syndrome. How weird that the world is always talking about “US”, helping the unfortunate, those that have too little&#8230;Big words. And yet everything they do is about Building themselves up, getting their face in the newspapers or on the internet. Some how they feel they should be the “Chosen One”, a statement for the Lord, first and always. Today we watch as those in Congress, leach as much wealth as they can get their hands on, for themselves. And yet&#8230;.millions of Americans are Jobless&#8230;.millions of Americans don&#8217;t have any type of Healthcare, for themselves or their children. Does the Government care, those in Congress or the Oval Office?! If you say anything other than NO&#8230;then YOU have been mis-guided&#8230;BIG time!!</p>
<p>Here is what amazes me! Once you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you will no longer be misinformed or misguided. The Bible will be opened up to you by Jesus Christ and HE will translate for you, all that was confounding before. HE will open your eyes to see all that is happening in this world around you and HE will keep you safe and cared for. All the stuff that you worried for before, the cars and the Big house, the big bank account, keeping up with the Jones, will no longer matter. How liberating that is&#8230;to no longer care about all the stuff that never truly mattered to begin with and then&#8230;being able to fully trust the Lord for supplying all your needs. Notice here, that I said “Needs” not wants and desires and the reason is, it was the “Wants and Desires” of things, that got you into trouble to begin with. It says in <strong>Philippians 3:19</strong> “<span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em>And my God will meet </em></span></span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em><strong>all your needs </strong></em></span></span></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><em>according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.</em></span></span></span><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">”</span></span></span></p>
<p>Now here is the “Wisdom” of the Lord according to the Latter Days or the “End of Times” with the coming of Jesus Christ to claim his Church in the Rapture. <strong>1 Thessalonians 4:15-19</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.</em></span>&#8221; The Lord knows the needs of our heart and our lives, much better than we do, HE is God and there is none other beside HIM. In <strong>Matthew 10:28-31</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.</em></span>&#8221; It is evident that the Lord knows each of us and what our needs are, we need nothing more than our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The evidence of our Lord, according to the Bible and the Coming Rapture is found in <strong>1 Thessalonians 5: 9-11</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>For God hath not appointed us to wrath</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>with him</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.</em></span>&#8221; Here we see that the Lord is actively watching over us and setting all who truly follow Jesus Christ, aside for the Rapture, before the Tribulation. We who are saved by the Lord God Almighty will never see the “Wrath of God, Poured out during the Tribulation”. Thusly, we see that the Rapture must come before the Tribulation, rather than what others say. “<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>to meet the Lord in the air: </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>and so shall we ever be with the Lord.</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>”</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">All of this, points to the need of every one, to come to the Lord God for Salvation. Other than to be able to read these passages of Scripture, we really have no need to be “Intellectual”, we need nothing other than the desire to follow Jesus Christ in everything we do in this Life. So now the question has been answered, between “Intellectualism or the Wisdom and Discernment of the Lord”. We need the Wisdom of the Lord, just to survive these perilous times and to know, that no matter what happens to us, if we are saved by Jesus Christ, we will live forever!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">It says in <strong>2 Corinthians 5:6-9</strong> &#8220;<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>home in the body, we are absent from the Lord</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and </em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em><strong>willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.</strong></em></span><span style="color:#eb613d;"><em> Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.</em></span>&#8221; This leaves no question as to the intent of our Lord and Savior, that whether we die or are taken in the Rapture, we will forever be with the Lord! Where is the “Intellectualism” in these passages of Scripture? There are none and the reason for that is, we have been created by God to follow HIM, to read HIS Holy Word and then Believe with all our Heart. Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to Heaven, the Intellectualists wants us to believe that there are “Things we must DO” and that is WRONG! “<span style="color:#eb613d;"><em>For by Grace are ye saved and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God, lest any man should boast</em></span>”!! Marantha Lord, Marantha Lord!!!</span></p>
