I don’t know how I never really connected with God personally growing up with all the church services I had to attend with my parents, but it didn’t happen until much later in life in my mid twenties.

As a child I attended not only church but also vacation Bible school in the summer where I learned all about God and Jesus and how this world came about and I believed it all because it’s written in the Bible. The problem was it was all head knowledge with little or no understanding of the Spiritual side and not understanding the Holy Spirit. Oh I was baptized alright and believed but I never experienced the personal relationship because I was blind to the fact that as humans we must repent and seek God with all our hearts, then and only then will we discover the work of the Holy Spirit and how our very life changes as we allow Him to work in our lives.

Rebellious as a high school and college student, all I cared about was about myself and the pleasures I could find thinking that would make me happy. So like most I pursued anything but God, only fixated on pleasing myself. Later on things drastically changed.

The Bible says God chooses us by His grace and mercy through the Holy Spirit but we must answer the call to receive His salvation and Holy Spirit and begin a spiritual journey only He can provide after we surrender our entire lives to Him.

I had a rock n roll band and was playing clubs in five states doing two floor shows a night and living the high life or so I thought when the Holy Spirit began to call me to Jesus. It wasn’t long until I resigned from the band not knowing what I would do and started turning my heart towards God.

I won’t bore you with the details of all the tremendous ups and downs I had but know this; if you seek God with all your heart you will find Him and find the truth about salvation and life.

The Bible says these signs will follow those who believe: they will speak in tongues, they will cast out devils and they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover. How many signs have followed you? Just asking. You see churches don’t teach the whole truth and haven’t for quite some time and especially don’t teach on the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit, they would rather keep the status quo and be religious without really knowing Jesus. Taking the easy way out

I have cast out devils, I have laid my hands on the sick many times and they have recovered, I have spoke in tongues, I have prophesied at times using the word of knowledge for someone. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt Jesus is real and His name is powerful. He shed His blood for our sins and was beaten for our healing.

If you don’t know Him truly but would like too, seek Him while He can be found now while your alive on this planet, after your gone there is no hope. God really did love the world and give His only Son so we could be saved and live with Him forever. Put all your trust in Jesus and He will see you through. Remember you must forgive others and yourself…

6Seek the LORD while He may be found;
            Call upon Him while He is near.

      7Let the wicked forsake his way
            And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
            And let him return to the LORD,
            And He will have compassion on him,
            And to our God,
            For He will abundantly pardon.

8“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.

Here in the Old Testament we see in Isaiah that God calls sinners to return to Him. Return means they were once with the Lord and stop living holy plus the wicked are offered salvation through seeking God.

Jesus is coming back in the clouds with fire to reward the righteousness and execute judgment on all sinners. Isaiah 66:15,16 says;”

15For behold, the LORD will come in fire
            And His chariots like the whirlwind,
            To render His anger with fury,
            And His rebuke with flames of fire.

16For the LORD will execute judgment by fire
And by His sword on all flesh,
And those slain by the LORD will be many.

This is no joke so get yourself ready for the coming of the Lord.

Ezekiel 18: 20-24 says; “

But if the wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed and observes all My statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 22“All his transgressions which he has committed will not be remembered against him; because of his righteousness which he has practiced, he will live. 23“Do I have any pleasure in the death of the wicked,” declares the Lord GOD, “rather than that he should turn from his ways and live?

24“But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity and does according to all the abominations that a wicked man does, will he live? All his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered for his treachery which he has committed and his sin which he has committed; for them he will die. 25“Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not right.’ Hear now, O house of Israel! Is My way not right? Is it not your ways that are not right? 26“When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity and dies because of it, for his iniquity which he has committed he will die. 27“Again, when a wicked man turns away from his wickedness which he has committed and practices justice and righteousness, he will save his life. 28“Because he considered and turned away from all his transgressions which he had committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die.

Here again we see when someone turns from his transgressions and seeks God he will live.

In Daniel chapter 7 Daniel sees a vision of the Father and the Son. “

9As I continued to watch, 

thrones were set in place, 

and the Ancient of Days took His seat. 

His clothing was white as snow, 

and the hair of His head was like pure wool. 

His throne was flaming with fire, 

and its wheels were all ablaze.

10A river of fire was flowing, 

coming out from His presence. 

Thousands upon thousands attended Him, 

and myriads upon myriads stood before Him. 

The court was convened, 

and the books were opened.

11Then I kept watching because of the arrogant words the horn was speaking. As I continued to watch, the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire. 12As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was removed, but they were granted an extension of life for a season and a time.

Daniel’s Vision of the Son of Man

13In my vision in the night I continued to watch, 

and I saw One like the Son of Man

coming with the clouds of heaven.

He approached the Ancient of Days

and was led into His presence.

14And He was given dominion, 

glory, and kingship, 

that the people of every nation and language 

should serve Him. 

His dominion is an everlasting dominion 

that will not pass away, 

and His kingdom is one 

that will never be destroyed.

Jesus has full authority and His kingdom will never end. What an awesome sight.

2There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.3What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

Fear God Alone
(Matthew 10:26–31)

4I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell.a Yes, I tell you, fear Him!

No one’s going to get away with anything, every sin will be revealed at judgment IF your not born again, then when your repent your sins are remembered no more.

I don’t want my sins remembered so you? I repent daily, how about you? Fear God not man.

People die in all kinds of crazy ways because they did not repent. God also says we must produce good fruit or if not our lives will be cut down or cut short. Luke declares this in chapter 13;

1At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this fate? 3No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish. 4Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam collapsed on them: Do you think that they were more sinful than all the others living in Jerusalem? 5No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”

The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree
(Isaiah 5:1–7)

6Then Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any. 7So he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘Look, for the past three years I have come to search for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Therefore cut it down!a Why should it use up the soil?’

8‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I dig around it and fertilize it. 9If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.’ ”

We must be BORN AGAIN OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD! John 3:1-21”

1Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.2He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him.”

3Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.a”

4“How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?”

5Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.6Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit. 7Do not be amazed that I said, ‘Youb must be born again.’ 8The wind blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

9“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.

10“You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things?11Truly, truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, and yet you people do not accept our testimony.

12If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?13No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.c 14Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.d

16For God so loved the world that He gave His one and onlye Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. 18Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

19And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.

Whoever believes in Jesus is NOT CONDEMNED!

27My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.28I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand. 29My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand.30I and the Father are one.” (John 10:27-39)

Once you fully commit your life to Jesus no one can pluck you out of His hand nor the Father’s hand.

God sends us the Holy Spirit; “

15If you love Me, you will keepe My commandments. 16And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocatef to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you.g

18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19In a little while the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live. 20On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you. 21Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”

God chooses us! “

16You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will remain—so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you. 17This is My command to you: Love one another.

The Hatred of the World

18If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. 19If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.

The Holy Spirit will guide you.

8And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: 9in regard to sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me;11and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.

12I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it. 13However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come. 14He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.15Everything that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will take from what is Mine and disclose it to you.

God loves us so much Trust Him and the Bible….

You’re seeing war and hearing of wars and there are many rumors of wars going on all the time, but these things must take place for the end is not yet Jesus said. In Matthew this is actually what the Son of God said:

“

3While Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?”

4Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.

You can plainly see that we are in the beginning of the birth pangs. Things will comes to an end after wars but still the end is not yet. Jesus said don’t be alarmed because these things must take place.

Still horrible things will happen so being born again and saved is Paramount for all of us. Matthew 24 goes on to say; “

9Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.10At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another, 11and many false prophets will arise and mislead many.

12Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. 13But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

This time, right now is the time for perseverance of the saints, to hold fast to Gods promises and do not shrink and fall away from the truth and the prophecy of the Bible, Be strong by reading the word and praying daily. You have heard the man of destruction is coming, the antichrist. The Bible says : “

15So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’adescribed by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand), 16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17Let no one on the housetop come down to retrieve anything from his house. 18And let no one in the field return for his cloak.

19How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers! 20Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on the Sabbath. 21For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again. 22If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.

23At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it. 24For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible. 25See, I have told you in advance.

The Return of the Son of Man
(Mark 13:24–27; Luke 21:25–28

26So if they tell you, ‘There He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.27For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.28Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

29Immediately after the tribulation of those days: 

‘The sun will be darkened, 

and the moon will not give its light; 

the stars will fall from the sky, 

and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.b’

30At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven,c and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.d31And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

The Lesson of the Fig Tree
(Mark 13:28–31; Luke 21:29–33)

32Now learn this lessone from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near. 33So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near,f right at the door. 34Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened. 35Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

Readiness at Any Hour
(Genesis 6:1–7; Mark 13:32–37; Luke 12:35–48)

36No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,g but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. 39And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.40Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.

42Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come. 43But understand this: If the homeowner had known in which watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.

31When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne. 32All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.

34Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

41Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 46And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Why do we worry about who can kill our bodies? To be absent from your body is to be present with the Lord. Jesus said it this way: “2There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.3What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell.a Yes, I tell you, fear Him!

6Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies?b Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

The wars and rumors of war will continue to the end the Bible says so be ready everyday to be called home. Make sure you have confessed Jesus is Lord and invite Him to come in and take over your life because your life is not your own but belongs to Jesus who bought you with a heavy price; that is with His precious blood. All your sins are being wiped away forever. Call on Him and you’ll see for yourself…

As we come into Christmas 2021 we see a much different world now than before, a world where people are losing it like never before and a time where everyone must come to believe that Jesus now sits at the right hand of the Father God, preparing a place for us so where He is we may be also. This generation is falling away from the faith and though the gospel of Jesus Christ is still being proclaimed throughout the world in many places and now through the Internet and many are still coming to faith, most are rejecting salvation and don’t believe Jesus is coming back again to take the righteousness home to be with him. He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings and there is salvation in none other but through Him. the only way to the Father our creator is by repenting and confessing Jesus is Gods Son and He alone paid the price for our sins when He died on the cross and rose again so we too will rise again. For we shall be like Him for we will see Him face to face. We will have new bodies not of flesh but immortal bodies and we will live forever in eternity with Him as He has promised.

The corruption and lying and tremendous perversion and immoral behavior of people and governments all over the world will come to an end when Jesus returns in the Great Day of the Lord when His wrath will be poured out on mankind, including the antichrist and the false prophet. He will bring all the plagues mentioned in the Revelation upon all who dwell on the earth whose names are not written in The Book of Life. Christians will be gone as He promised we are not destined for His wrath, only the unbelievers and wicked. Jesus came into this world through the Holy Spirit born of a virgin named Mary to reconcile mankind to the Father for all who call upon His name. Our sins are remembered no more when we ask forgiveness and repent from our hearts and then follow Him. Praise His name in all the heavens and the earth!

Jesus did not come to judge the world but to seek and save the lost which we all were at one time. For all have sinned and fallen short of His glory, but thanks to His blood we are washed, we are cleansed from all unrighteousness and are made righteous by faith in Him and believing what He accomplished for us. But when He returns He is coming back as judge and will separate the wicked from the righteousness and pour out His wrath in those who chose not to surrender to Him but instead loved their sin and by their unbelief will burn in the lake of fire where there will be unending pain and gnashing of teeth for ever.

It doesn’t have to be that way for you or anyone for that matter. Receive His love and forgiveness and surrender yourself to Jesus and you will not be disappointed, that’s His promise. Jesus came as a baby lived as a human yet without sin and is calling you to Himself to be saved. He did not come to bring peace on the earth but a sword He said where members of your own family will be at odds with you who don’t come to Christ.

Celebrate Jesus birth with a thankful heart and always remember He loves you and died for you now live for Him….
