"Written In The Book"





"And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince 
which standeth for the children of thy people: and there 
shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there
 was a nation even to that same time: and at that time 
thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall 
be found written in the book."
(Daniel 12:1)



Fight, Warriors of the Most High God; swing that sword with power, and fight for the cause. The Lord Jesus Christ is our strength; His spirit goes before us, we need not fear the devil's claws.  We are Warriors in earth, fighting for truth and the gospel, even as Warriors in the heavens intercede.  Angels fight to bring our answers, battling fiercely in the second heaven, with flashes of lightning streaks.  Don't Give Up, weary Warrior, for the sands are filling the hourglass, and time is winding down.  Keep your eyes on the prize, a home with Jesus in the skies, and the coveted soul winner's crown. Reap the harvest and fight the opposition, for he knows the time is short, and he's on the loser's end.  So, hold your head up, Saint, because the tormentor has an appointment, with the flames to descend.  ONE angel will take care of our tormentor, as we watch with glee; his days are numbered, and we're on the Glory side.  Stand tall in the darkness, and fight the good fight, for it won't be long and we'll take flight in the skies, with the Lord to abide.

                     
We know we win; it's just a matter of the mind, holding fast to
the Name, the Word, and the Blood
Remember, when attacks begin that it's because the Glory's
about to fall; the Lord is coming like a flood
The battle is not ours; it's the Lord's, with His bared arm, that
Isaiah said would stretch before the Nations
We must stand our ground, be strong in the Lord and the power
of His might, and strongly guard our stations

Every soldier has his place, his position, and his orders; we zoom in on the target; it's the world of lost souls. And we fight on, knowing the reins are held by the Master; He sets up, tears down, and has the controls. Those streaks in the night sky are glints from Angels' swords, as they wield and rule the second heaven; they're fighting for us against satan, his imps, and the plots and plans of the demonic hellions.  We are not alone in this war; our Savior made provision, to protect and defend us from all evil.  Our prayers rise as torpedoes of blood-bought fire, and they paint the skies like a canvas on an easel.  The war will be strong and hard, but the victory's already won; and the march of the Church is uniting.  It's a new movement around the world, as Nations meet the Savior, His redemption, and His love so inviting.

                            
The sheaves are gathering, and the harvest is greater than ever
before, all looking up, ready to ascend
Rejoice Warriors; Joy comes in the morning, and the Lion of
Judah will help us endure to the end

We're the Rapture generation in the times of the end, "moving" with the Spirit, watching the cloud by day and the fire by night.  We walk by the Holy "unction," that Spirit of the Holy One; we're not shaken by the terrors or the evils in our sight.  Our strength is building day by day as we watch prophecies unfold, and the Word is manifested.  It's as it was in the days of Noah; there's so much darkness and rampant ungodliness, that can't be digested.  But, we ride and we WIN, with our swords in hand, and the Blood and the Name of our Lord as our victory sound.  Nothing can stop us; we're on the Home stretch, with fiery scars of the battle, but we know we're Heaven bound. 

The Holy Ghost fires are covering the earth with heightened
speed, and it behooves us to take a look
As the Nations receive His Spirit, speak in tongues, and rise in 
Joy; people are found "Written In The Book."

"M A R A N A T H A," LORD JESUS!

"Love It, Live It, Give It!"

 


Cornelius was "A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.  He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an Angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius, and when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it , Lord?  And he said unto him, thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.  And now, send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter." 
(Acts 10:2-5)

We must "Love It, Live It, Give It;" it's called "more Light."  What?  The place where many of us once were, the place of walking in all we knew, the place of loving God but needing more Truth, the place of "having a form of godliness" but 'needing' the power, the place where Cornelius was.  He was a devout man of God, but he needed "more light," so God sent an angel to tell Cornelius to call for Peter, and of course Peter was the man for the job, because, noting his life and his actions, his motto surely was, "Love It, Live It, Give It."  


How many today are very precious, godly, prayerful, loving people, but are those whom God wants to give "more light?"  That could be virtually "all" of us, because none of us "know it all;" the pearly gates ain't clicked behind any of us yet; we are all growing, learning, seeking more of God  ... or at least, we should be.  You say, "Even preachers?"  Yep; there are higher dimensions for every level in God; they may not be tested at the same place we are, but they are ever climbing too, and we follow them as they follow Christ.  They are the closest to God, and His direction, that we can get, or, at least, they should be.  We do not follow blindly; if they cease to follow God in the "truth" of His Word, we cease to follow them, but we must all have a "preacher;" it is God's holy order of things.  Sheep must have a Shepherd  ...


The Apostle Peter
                                                 


The angel told Cornelius to send for Peter.  If we're looking for advice; if we need 'more light;' if we want to be counseled, to whom do we go?  We go to the one who will tell us the truth, and if it's concerning the truth in God, it sure better be one who knows what he's talking about.  Peter was given the keys to the kingdom, the means to open the door, the emblem of power and authority, and the kingdom here means the Church. 


Peter was there on the Day of Pentecost when the people asked, "What must we do (to be saved)?"  Peter told them to repent, be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and they would receive the Holy Ghost (with the evidence of speaking in tongues).  If we are seeking "truth," sincerely, God will lead us to the truth, and when filled with the Holy Ghost, it is the power that leads us into "all" truth. 

More Light




What does the world need?  Love, sweet love; Oh, yeah, and that comes from God too  ...  it's the purest, holiest, deepest, most profound love of all  ...  but the world needs, above all, "more Light."  Darkness covers the face of the earth today like never before.  Holiday time brings such a feeling of warmth, because of all the bright beckoning lights; suddenly everything is illuminated and the darkness is dispelled for a time.  But, if the world would let Him in  ...  "Him, who?"  Jesus Christ, the Lord!  They would have eternal "light."  He IS the Light of the world!

For many, Holiday times are so very hard; they don't feel warmth, love, or joy at all.  I can identify with that; every terrible thing in my life happened at Christmas time, and some of them were devastatingly terrible.  But, the Lord Jesus is the light-giving "eraser."  The scars of life remain, like the scars in Jesus' own hands and feet, but heartache and pain are turned into victory; hurt and shame are replaced with knowledge and purpose. 



The old saying, "the devil meant it for evil, but God meant it for good," is true.  Joseph was sold by his own brothers, lied on by a seductive woman, and thrown into prison for seven years, but then, he was set up as second only to the King to 'save and rescue' the very brothers who tried to destroy him.  God meant it for good!  There "is" a circle to be completed in all of our lives.  We should always ask ourselves the question, "What good "could" come from this, and how can I use it to help others?"  The answers for all of life's questions are found in the truth, God's Word; and we have a mandate to love it, live it, and give it ....

"And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came
with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the
Holy Ghost.  For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. 
Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be
baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?  And he
commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord."
(Acts 10:45-48)

Cornelius, and all that were with him that day, received the truth.  In Acts, Chapter 19, the people of Ephesus were rebaptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and also received the Holy Ghost and spoke with tongues.  More Light.  It's happening all over the world today  ...  More Light.  Ministers are rebaptizing their entire congregations "in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ"  ...  More Light.    All denominations are receiving the Holy Ghost and speaking with tongues as the Spirit of God gives the utterance  ...  More Light.  The Churches are coming together in UNITY for the last hour revival, and Harvest  ...  More Light!

If we truly want to know what we must do to be prepared for the Rapture of the Church, to be saved for all eternity, God will show us.  He will send an angel, maybe one of His heavenly hosts, or an 'angel' from His Church, but He will lead us to truth  ...  if we really want to know ...  The thing about Truth is that it's a commodity of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we MUST, in this final hour of the endtimes  ...  "Love It, Live It, Give It!"

"Work It!"



"Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not
 as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."
(Philippians 2:12)



We are in the war of our lives, and we fight, even as the Angels battle for us in the heavenlies!  What?  You don't know there's a devil until you are saved, sanctified, bought with a price, baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, filled with the Holy Ghost, walkin' and talkin' the Word, wielding the sword of the Spirit, praying against darkness and all evil, claiming the blood of Jesus, and shakin' the foundations of Hell!  That's when you KNOW there's a devil  ...  so, what do you do?  You "Work It!"

How do you "work out your own soul's salvation?"  Study the Word of God, the Holy Bible.  Daddy, mama, grandma, and even the Preacher can't save us.  Huh?  We must have the preached Word of God, but then, it's up to us; he can't walk that long aisle to the altar for us; he can't go under the baptismal waters in Jesus' name for us; he can't receive the Holy Ghost and speak in tongues for us; he can't repent for us  ...  WE have to "work it out" for ourselves.  WE have to approach the Almighty God alone; we stand alone before Him at judgment and we stand alone before Him in salvation.  Then, when we've worked it out, Jesus Christ will never leave us nor forsake us; the angels protect us, the Word, the blood, and the Name go before us  ...  but, we're in a battle to the end.  "End of what?" you ask.  The day when time shall be no more  ...


While we're "workin' it," there will be trials, tests, deserts, fire, cold, brooks  ...  wells  ... wars, angels, incense, heavenly choirs, Hallelujah anyhow's  ... grace  ... attacks, mountain peaks, vallies, caves, visions, dreams  ... and Power!  POWER!  Through it all, when we're filled with the Holy Ghost, we have the power to face, overcome, triumph over, and "work out" all things, and we emerge saying, "It Is Well."  The only times we are "alone" is before salvation and at judgment, for we all come to the judgment seat of Christ, but if we are IN Christ Jesus, and we remain faithful until the trumpet blows, we will hear "Well done, my good and faithful servant."  But, until then, it's WORK; we fight side by side with the angels of God; it's called Spiritual Warfare and it is WORK!

So, we fight on, because:
"Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry
 it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
(Philippians 1:6)

Christian Martyrs



This "faith thing" is no game; ask the Christian martyrs who paved our road with blood and tears.  John 15:20 says, "Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also."  Jesus Christ has risen, and lives on, but the battle in earth continues, because WE are His hands and feet; WE are the "Go Ye" today; WE are in the "work it" mode until the sound of the trumpet.  The "work it" is the "with fear and trembling" part.  Huh?  We fear the Lord, or rather, we respect and revere Him; we are but "dust" and we must always always remember that.  Sin and a mighty Holy God will never mesh; we tremble at His omnipotence; we bow before Him in humble recognition of His power and majesty; we tremble at the lightning and thunder, because we know it's all in the power of His hands.  "All of what?" you ask.  All that we have yet to face  ...  the times and the seasons  ...  the preparation for the fulfillment of all things  ...  and WE are in the middle of it  ...  "working it out"  ...

"We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless;
when we are persecuted, we endure it;"
(I Corinthians 4:12)

While we're "workin' it," we must not forget to stop and smell the roses.  What?  The presence of the Lord, the goodness of Him, His voice of direction, His whispers in the moonlight, His touch of comfort, the thrill of His Spirit, His blessings, miracles, and glory  ...  when the battle is the fiercest, He carries us; when our strength is depleted, there are feathers of warriors left in their wake; we are healed, uplifted and delivered day by day; and the power of His love overwhelms our feeble mortality, and He intercedes for "us" in prayer.  The "work" is sweet in the face of the Master  ...

Keep the Faith; let your swords be polished and sharp; watch while you lap from your hand; never forget your armor; let your knees stand you in glory; may your prayers rebuke and defeat devils and evil; let the oil of anointing and the Spirit of God be your power; and "Work It!"
