* TIME FOR THE DECISION OF YOUR LIFE


No time anymore to put it off.  We’ve now come too far into these last of the last days.  You probablyknew this time was coming.

It’s time to separate yourself from anything and any activity that is not of God or is opposed to God!  And part of this is repenting and asking God for forgiveness that you have been involved in any such activity. 

It’s time to seek God with all your heart.

It’s time to pray for the lost – in your family, in your circle of acquaintances, in the world.  Pray for God the Father to lead them to Jesus.  Pray for the Holy Spirit to orchestrate appropriate meetings and encounters that they will hear and receive the truths of the Lord.  Ask God to use you in this however he will.

And it’s time to stand up for the Lord as best you can in all circumstances.  Remember the Lord’s words in Luke 12:8-9:
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:  But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
And remember, you are living in a world where a huge number currently cannot see the truth.  
 
…the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not (2 Corinthians 4:4)
That “god of this world” is of course the devil, satan.

Look at the world today:
  •           Where are the true believers of God in the body of government and politics?  Are there any?  Why are they so hidden?


  •          The entertainment world – certainly the visible majority – continually engages in horrible behavior.  The recent grammy awards broadcast seems to have been looked at as an occasion to do and present all sorts of occult and evil behavior and symbols.  Do these people know what they are doing?  Remember, the devil has blinded the minds of unbelievers.  I think this idiotic and evil behavior by some of these young and energetic singers and dancers probably reflects no knowledge whatever.  They probably think it is cool.  They probably think it helps them get to the top.  They are lost people.



  •         So often in recent years we see the US government taking positions that are just wrong – as regards Israel, as regards the Bible, as regards the Christian faith, and as regards the basic roots of the USA.  As an example, look at the rampaging growth of approval for LGBT behavior in the US.  Are you aware the leader of the US is appointing a “gay” ambassador to go out to the world to press for LGBT rights in other countries?   The US officially therefore is squarely on the wrong side of the issue that God so clearly condemns.


  •          Years ago the Lord spoke a puzzling parable to me that fits our time now.  He said:  If a person does a small thing and he does it over and over and you do not pay attention to it, soon you will not notice it.  Is that not what has happened and where we are in the gradual fall of the US, in the gradual move of islam throughout the Western world, in the step by step dismantling of the US and its law and constitution and place in the world, in the gradual creep of immoralilty into modern music and television programs and movies and life to the point that it pervades all activity, in the gradual fall away from the full power gospel and its truth by so many.  Notice how the media and much of the population does not notice or see any of this at all.  


The world is rapidly coming to the point that each person must truly make the great decision – yes, I believe in the Lord, and yes I will follow him no matter what – or no, I will not go forward in that absolute belief, preferring to continue in a superfluous cultural faith that adapts to current social trends and beliefs.  We are at that time, dear friends.  As of now it is clear that the number of true believers standing with Christ no matter what the cost is indeed a remnant, to use that famous word.  So many of those who say they are Christians are not in that camp.  And so many others are just flat out already in the outer darkness.

Regarding his return, here are a few words the Lord has said to me about this time, about his return.  I thought I should begin sharing some of these and will share more from time to time:

It will be like a beacon, like a dagger, a moment.  Suddenly.  No light surprise. When I come, things will change.
Also,
My church is not of bricks and mortar.
My church is not choirs and fine robes.
My church is those who have given themselves to me.

Wake up, America!  Wake up, people of all lands!  This atrocious current world around you will not stand.  It will not endure. 

The time for your decision is now, while you can clearly think about it and pray about it.  You need to have this resolved before the events of life become so severe and pressing that you find yourself reacting just by impulse on the spur of the moment to threats and pressures and lack and such, and you take the wrong step.

And lastly, in all things, be alert! 

… when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? – Luke 18:8  
       
Make sure he finds you.
 

Keep Your Eyes on Jesus!
