The key to life has always been Jesus Christ and your relationship to him.
Today we must not forget that but rather double down on our intense focus on him. His advice to me so many years ago to keep my eyes on him is surely the great advice for all believers today.
I know all believers who love America, the constitution, the founding fathers and what they created here, and the amazing impact of America on the world these past 200 + years are greatly distressed today. I hear from my sister that her friends are walking around in a stupor. Well, that is probably not unlike many today. Why a stupor? Because they just don’t know what to do. It appears – and more than appears – that ungodly forces have captured the government of the country, the media, and leadership of the hi-tech giants and other business giants. In such an environment, how are those who keep their eyes on Jesus, seek to follow the life the Lord intended for us, and admire the Constitution to keep going?
The answer is the first statement. They keep their eyes on Jesus.
These are the last days of this age before the return of the Lord first to collect his believers and then at the end of the seven-year Tribulation to vanquish his enemies and set up Kingdom rule from Jerusalem. How many times have I written of this? Sometimes I am concerned that you all must tire of my writing, but then I am reminded again that the great majority of Americans and people of the world still do not know the Lord is returning very very soon. Even worse, the great majority do not know him and thus are not going with him when he comes.
So I write over and over about various aspects of his return and our time.
If you get disturbed, and I know you are, just remember the great behaviors prophesied in the Bible by Jesus, Paul, and others for this time. Deception. Delusion. Falling away from God. Rise in lawlessness. And so much more.
That is a good description of the world we live in, isn’t it?
And sadly look at the great number of churches and pastors who do not preach on any of this. They still seek to say things that will keep their congregations, or sound good to people’s ears. The Bible warned of that too. Even quite a number of well-known preachers are guilty of this.
Jesus described our churches today when he wrote seven letters to various churches in the first chapters of Revelation. In particular, the church in Laodicea seems to be today’s popular church type – neither hot nor cold. Jesus said he would spit them out.
May God forgive all of us for not doing more to get his word out to others, for not warning others more.
I do know that quite a few of you resend out ministry emails to others, to your own lists. And some of you print them out and give them to others. May God bless you greatly for doing this. To the extent you can, speak to others about the Lord, about the gospel, about his return. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in all this and specifically to set up appropriate encounters with others so they will be open to hear.
Some people give others our WAKE UP AMERICA! book. One woman called the office last week to order more. Summarizing what she said, she made the point that recent events all have created an environment where others are confused, upset, and now hopefully open to hear the news of Jesus and his return. She wasn’t talking about confused believers. She was talking about other people in general!
I encourage you to follow her example in speaking to others that you suddenly realize the Lord has put in your path. And get copies of our book to give to others. Sometimes people who will barely listen to you talk will take a book to read at home by themselves. WAKE UP AMERICA! is a pretty good title for now you must admit. God gave me that title 27 years ago. And the subtitle makes the point of what is soon to happen very clear: JESUS IS COMING SOON.
I agree with the person who called and spoke about people and their receptivity. In fact I think her calling was a message from God for me. And so for the next two months we will make this book available to all for the very low price of $10 a copy, taxes and shipping included, no matter how many you order, one or a hundred. To get this price you must call the office to place your order or print out and mail in the attached order form. Our website and Amazon will not have this lower price and will continue to list the book at the full higher price. Please take advantage of this offer. Neither you nor I want to have to answer why we didn’t do more in this time or anytime.
I repeat one more time: These are the last days. Prophecies have been fulfilled and are being fulfilled right in front of our eyes. Large numbers of lost and seemingly ungodly people occupy key positions in the government and media and in business leadership. Their decisions are hardly ones you and I would make. This is truly a dark time for America and the world. But then, Jesus is Jesus. God is God. And things done in darkness will be made known in the light. Jesus’ people are heading to a far different future than the mass of those you see around you. Help others to join you in that future.
