Did you come to The LORD to escape suffering for all eternity in hell? Was your desire for the mansion in heaven and the streets of gold?
Did you ask Jesus into your heart for the promise of eternal worship and crowns? Or was the promise of a glorified body or getting "to rule and reign" what enticed you to be "saved"?
If your motivation was not to die then you will be part of the great falling away! You must die! You must kill your fleshly nature! You must die “to self!” Him living in you is how you are saved! And if you do not surrender, there is no room for Him! Two cannot occupy the same space! He will not crowd you out, you must willingly vacate your throne! Only one head; it can't be you - if He is to be LORD!
A day is coming, soon, where you be given a choice, denounce Jesus as LORD or die! It's happening all over the world, and we've seen pockets here in the States! It soon will be the norm here too!
You will be given an opportunity to compromise and accept Christianity AND a mixture of other faiths in the spirit of unity! Your job may be threatened unless you participate in the ultimate diversity! Your family may be threatened with loss of life if you do not renounce God for another god! You will decide one way or another! No escape!
“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” Matthew 16:25 KJV
It's happening elsewhere and it will happen here! Your plan of escape is a lie! You must endure to the end and overcome! The premise of being left behind is a fallacy! I remember the excitement and anticipation of the day of His return, in belief of Him coming to physically remove (rapture) His - before He opened my eyes!
We have been lied to, and must wake up to the Truth before we are faced with the consequences; Disappointment at discovery, resulting in anger and turning from God!
The only escape of tribulation is His Peace! When you go through the fire He will be in it too if you are on the cross with Him! You must die to live!
“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12 KJV
STRONG DELUSION
The lie: something for nothing! He paid it all! Free ride! Once saved always saved! Live like the devil and still go to heaven! The audacity that you will be bodily taken up to heaven and spared the pain of persecution even though, in other parts of the world, believers are killed daily for refusing to denounce Jesus as LORD!
Pray that The Truth be revealed to you! That your eyes will be opened, your ears would be opened, that your heart would be changed!
The definition of “rapture”
1. a feeling of intense pleasure or joy.
synonyms: ecstasy, bliss, exaltation, euphoria, elation, joy, enchantment, delight, happiness, pleasure
Knowing and being in Him; walking in obedience and seeing lives changed - He is rapture; ecstasy; bliss; euphoria; elation . . . Delight . . .
“For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.” Job 22:26 KJV
Don't just go to the cross; climb up there and die to self - live for Him!
Repent of your sins of unforgiveness and judging!
Repent of pride, anger, fear, and worry; unbelief!
Confess your sins to one another!
Time is short!
He is coming for His Bride!
“For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;”
Hebrews 3:14 KJV
“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”
Matthew 24:13 KJV
Even so - MARANATHA!
