Some COMFORTING articles

 

Hebrews 10:36-37

King James Version

36 For ye have need of patience, that, 

after ye have done the will of God, 

ye might receive the promise.

37 For yet a little while, 

and he that shall come will come, 

and will not tarry.

I know the world's in dire need of comfort these days.

It's as if nothing makes sense anymore.

The chaos, crime, cruelty, needless deaths.

Watching how everyday Iranian people are currently fighting for their freedom, and getting massacred for it, tore at my heart.

Watching how their families chose to sing, and dance, even as they grieved for their loved ones, tore it even further.

Watching, as they waited for help, hoping alongside them, and praying for all oppressed people fill my heart each day.

All of us who have gone through the pain of losing loved ones know grief.

But not many have experienced what many families, in many parts of the world, feel under those brutal circumstances.

This, as whole families, tribes, villages, towns, and cities have suffered terribly, in pursuit of truth, justice, and freedom.

Or of how many believers have perished for their faith.

But it's that very faith in CHRIST that will keep us going.

I, too, have known grief, the past four years.

Save for the GRACE of GOD, I'd have remained shattered.

So I just remind myself what the HOLY SPIRIT taught me:

Ecclesiastes 12:7-9

King James Version

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: 

and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

As GOD tasked me to write, my only recourse was to honor my loved ones, and turn to Him to make sense of things:

STRENGTH in the MIDST of GRIEF

ODE to WARRIORS

With GOD giving me strength through His SPIRIT, this workman managed to write so much more.

These articles helped me get through the tough times, knowing life had to go on, my work had to continue, and to give people comfort as well.

We watchmen are warriors for CHRIST, soldiers in His army.

We have to keep going, and help others along the way, each day

All these articles have been written through the guidance of the TRIUNE GOD, and Scripture -- which all equipped me with strength, soul, and spirit.

These will help you make sense of things, too:

The PURPOSE of affliction

COMFORTING the afflicted

For GOD's PERFECT PURPOSE

The REFINER's FIRE

CONQUERING the LAST enemy

OUR times are in GOD's HAND

JESUS comforts the GRIEVING

GOD's WORD forever

GOD of PEACE

GOD of COMFORT

SPIRIT of COMFORT

Do BABIES go to JESUS?

HOW to KNOW the WILL of GOD

PLUMBING the DEPTHS of our SOUL

How the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD Taught Me

Without the HOLY SPIRIT life is nothing

What the HOLY SPIRIT TAUGHT me

CITIZENSHIP in HEAVEN

What happens when WE die?

The TROUBLING things

PEACE through JESUS

PROMISES of JESUS

The RESURRECTION

The RAPTURE

ETERNAL LIFE

GRIEF therapy

GOD's WILL

GOD's WAYS

GOD's WISDOM

GOD's LOVE

To better understand grief, affliction, the fragility of life, and the ways of GOD, we must remember what He said:

Isaiah 55:8-11

King James Version

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, 

neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, 

so are my ways higher than your ways, 

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10 For as the rain cometh down, 

and the snow from heaven, 

and returneth not thither, 

but watereth the earth, 

and maketh it bring forth and bud, 

that it may give seed to the sower, 

and bread to the eater:

11 So shall my word be 

that goeth forth out of my mouth: 

it shall not return unto me void, 

but it shall accomplish that which I please, 

and it shall prosper in the thing 

whereto I sent it.

Remember, too, eternal life -- for believers:

John 3:14-15

King James Version

14 And as Moses lifted up 

the serpent in the wilderness, 

even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

15 That whosoever believeth in him 

should not perish, 

but have eternal life.

Therein lies my comfort.

That GOD is in charge.

That everything belongs to Him.

That He gave all power to JESUS.

That He gave His SPIRIT to comfort us.

That He is STEADY.

That He has given His TRUTH.

That only His WORD will remain -- FOREVER.

GOD said so:

Isaiah 40:8

King James Version

8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: 

but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

JESUS said so:

Matthew 24:35

King James Version

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, 

but my words shall not pass away.

Find your faith in CHRIST.

LOOK to GOD

 

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.

Why are we to put our trust in GOD, and not man?

Why should we take counsel from the LORD?

Why must we focus on GOD alone?

Why should we follow GOD?

SPIRIT led me to these verses.

Which explains everything.

Very simply.

GOD is eternal, and infallible.

Psalm 18:2

King James Version

2 The Lord is my rock, 

and my fortress, 

and my deliverer; 

my God, 

my strength, 

in whom I will trust;

and the horn of my salvation, 

and my high tower.

Psalm 118:5-9

King James Version

5 I called upon the Lord in distress: 

the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.

6 The Lord is on my side; 

I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

7 The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: 

therefore shall I see my desire upon them 

that hate me.

8 It is better to trust in the Lord 

than to put confidence in man.

9 It is better to trust in the Lord 

than to put confidence in princes.

shall be safe.

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

that cometh from God only?

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

Acts 4:19-20

King James Version

19 But Peter and John answered 

and said unto them, 

Whether it be right in the sight of God 

to hearken unto you more than unto God, 

judge ye.

20 For we cannot but speak the things 

which we have seen and heard.

Acts 5:29-32

King James Version

29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered 

and said, 

We ought to obey God rather than men.

30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, 

whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand 

to be a Prince and a Saviour, 

for to give repentance to Israel, 

and forgiveness of sins.

32 And we are his witnesses of these things; 

and so is also the Holy Ghost, 

whom God hath given to them that obey him.

Romans 2:29

King James Version

which is one inwardly;

but righteousness, 

and peace, 

and joy in the Holy Ghost.

is acceptable to God, 

and approved of men.

19 Let us therefore follow after the things 

which make for peace, 

and things wherewith one may edify another.

do all to the glory of God.

14 Do all things 

without murmurings and disputings:

15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, 

the sons of God, 

without rebuke, 

in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, 

among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

16 Holding forth the word of life; 

that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, 

that I have not run in vain, 

neither laboured in vain.

Colossians 3:23-24

King James Version

23 And whatsoever ye do, 

do it heartily, as to the Lord, 

and not unto men;

24 Knowing that of the Lord 

ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: 

for ye serve the Lord Christ.

1 Thessalonians 2:4

not as pleasing men, but God, 

which trieth our hearts.

that as ye have received of us

Hebrews 11:6

that diligently seek him.

Man is mortal, and fallible.

1 Samuel 15:24

ye that know righteousness, 

the people in whose heart is my law;

8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, 

and the worm shall eat them like wool: 

but my righteousness shall be for ever, 

and my salvation from generation to generation.

Isaiah 51:12

King James Version

am he that comforteth you: 

who art thou, 

that thou shouldest be afraid 

of a man that shall die, 

and of the son of man 

which shall be made as grass;

Jeremiah 17:5

King James Version

5 Thus saith the Lord; 

Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, 

and maketh flesh his arm, 

and whose heart departeth from the Lord.

Matthew 15:19-20

King James Version

19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, 

murders, adulteries, fornications, 

thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

20 These are the things which defile a man: 

but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

Matthew 24:4-5

King James Version

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, 

Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, 

saying, 

I am Christ; 

and shall deceive many.

Matthew 24:23-24

King James Version

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, 

Lo, here is Christ, or there; 

believe it not.

24 For there shall arise false Christs, 

and false prophets, 

and shall shew great signs and wonders; 

insomuch that, if it were possible, 

they shall deceive the very elect.

Matthew 24:26-27

King James Version

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, 

Behold, he is in the desert; 

go not forth: 

behold, he is in the secret chambers; 

believe it not.

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, 

and shineth even unto the west; 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Luke 6:26

King James Version

when all men shall speak well of you! 

for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

Luke 16:15

King James Version

15 And he said unto them, 

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 

but God knoweth your hearts: 

for that which is highly esteemed among men 

is abomination in the sight of God.

Romans 3:9-10

King James Version

9 What then? 

are we better than they? 

No, in no wise: 

for we have before proved 

both Jews and Gentiles, 

that they are all under sin;

10 As it is written, 

There is none righteous, 

no, not one:

Romans 3:23

King James Version

23 For all have sinned, 

and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 8:5-8

King James Version

5 For they that are after the flesh 

do mind the things of the flesh; 

but they that are after the Spirit 

the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death; 

but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: 

for it is not subject to the law of God, 

neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in the flesh 

cannot please God.

Romans 12:2

King James Version

2 And be not conformed to this world: 

but be ye transformed 

by the renewing of your mind, 

that ye may prove what is that good, 

and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Galatians 1:8-10

King James Version

8 But though we, 

or an angel from heaven, 

preach any other gospel unto you 

than that which we have preached unto you, 

let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, so say I now again, 

if any man preach any other gospel unto you 

than that ye have received, 

let him be accursed.

10 For do I now persuade men, or God? 

or do I seek to please men? 

for if I yet pleased men, 

I should not be the servant of Christ.

Ephesians 5:6-12

King James Version

6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: 

for because of these things cometh the wrath of God 

upon the children of disobedience.

7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

8 For ye were sometimes darkness, 

but now are ye light in the Lord: 

walk as children of light:

9 (For the fruit of the Spirit 

is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

11 And have no fellowship 

with the unfruitful works of darkness, 

but rather reprove them.

12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things 

which are done of them in secret.

Colossians 2:8-10

King James Version

8 Beware lest any man spoil you 

through philosophy and vain deceit, 

after the tradition of men, 

after the rudiments of the world, 

and not after Christ.

9 For in him dwelleth 

all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

10 And ye are complete in him, 

which is the head of all principality 

and power:

Colossians 2:18

King James Version

18 Let no man beguile you of your reward 

in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, 

intruding into those things which he hath not seen, 

vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

1 Timothy 4:7

King James Version

7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, 

and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

James 4:4

King James Version

4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, 

know ye not that the friendship of the world 

is enmity with God? 

whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world 

is the enemy of God.

TRUTH about PRAYER

 

Matthew 18:3

King James Version

3 And said, 

Verily I say unto you, 

Except ye be converted, 

and become as little children, 

ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Oftentimes, the simplest things, can be the hardest things.

Such as knowing how to pray, and what to pray for.

The true born again knows how, and what.

SPIRIT and Scripture made it simple for us -- through JESUS.

The LORD taught us how to pray, just in this first verse alone:

Luke 11:2

King James Version

2 And he said unto them, 

When ye pray, say, 

Our Father which art in heaven, 

Hallowed be thy name. 

Thy kingdom come. 

Thy will be done, 

as in heaven, so in earth.

Apostle John supports the LORD's command:

1 John 5:14

King James Version

14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, 

that, if we ask any thing according to his will, 

he heareth us:

Apostle Paul gives us something specific, too:

1 Thessalonians 5:18

King James Version

18 In every thing give thanks: 

for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus 

concerning you.

Notice anything with the three verses?

It's immediately apparent, really.

All that matters is the WILL of GOD.

When JESUS went back to heaven, He sent us His SPIRIT.

That we won't feel lost, sad, or orphaned.

Here's what SPIRIT can help us with, regarding prayer:

Romans 8:26-27

King James Version

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: 

for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: 

but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us 

with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth 

what is the mind of the Spirit, 

because he maketh intercession for the saints 

according to the will of God.

Again, it's "according to the will of God".

Children will understand the LORD's command.

For they look up to their parents, for guidance.

If you're born again, you'd teach them to know GOD's WILL.

Who is GOD, but the FATHER?

Obedience to the FATHER's will is key to prayer.

Kids can easily grasp this simple concept.

It's only adults who resist.

Thinking they are wise.

And yes, they are willful.

Still, GOD's will be done.

TOUGH but TRUE

 

2 Timothy 3:16-17

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, 

for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

The world continues as it does.

Thinking it's wise, warm, wonderful.

We don't realize how wicked we all are.

We don't realize how badly we are ALL in need of salvation.

We don't realize Who can really save us.

We have no idea how asleep, deceived, and foolish, we all are.

We have no idea the eternal danger we are all in.

Now is NOT the time to stray from GOD.

Now is NOT the time to scoff at Scripture.

Now is NOT the time to reject JESUS.

Now is the time to listen to the SPIRIT of GOD.

Now is the time to know EVERYTHING about GOD.

Now is the time to know the teachings of JESUS.

Only the SPIRIT of GOD can correct our thinking.

JESUS gave us the GIFT of His life.

He also left us the COMFORTER, to teach us:

John 16:7-15

King James Version

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 

It is expedient for you that I go away: 

for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; 

but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin, 

and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, 

and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world 

is judged.

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, 

but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: 

for he shall receive of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: 

therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

As born again, I stand by what SPIRIT taught me.

Through these verses which I share with you now:

JESUS is the ONLY way to GOD.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

JESUS is our SALVATION.

Acts 4:12

King James Version

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: 

for there is none other name under heaven 

given among men, whereby we must be saved.

This is the MYSTERY of SALVATION, for both Jews and Gentiles.

Romans 11:25

King James Version

25 For I would not, brethren, 

that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, 

lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; 

that blindness in part is happened to Israel, 

until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

GOD sent JESUS to SAVE the world.

John 3:17

King James Version

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him might be saved.

WHY does the world NEED saving?

Romans 3:23

King James Version

23 For all have sinned, 

and come short of the glory of God;

HOW do we get SAVED?

Romans 10:9

King James Version

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, 

and shalt believe in thine heart 

that God hath raised him from the dead, 

thou shalt be saved.

Will ALL be SAVED?

Romans 10:12-13

King James Version

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: 

for the same Lord over all is rich unto all 

hat call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call 

upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

By GOD's GRACE are believers saved.

Ephesians 2:8-9

King James Version

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; 

and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

There is only ONE GOD.

James 2:19

King James Version

19 Thou believest that there is one God; 

thou doest well: 

the devils also believe, and tremble.

There is no POWER but of GOD.

Romans 13:1

King James Version

13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. 

For there is no power but of God: 

the powers that be are ordained of God.

GOD gave JESUS all POWER, in heaven, and in earth.

Matthew 28:18

King James Version

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, 

All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

In JESUS is ETERNAL LIFE.

John 3:16

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

GOD is a SPIRIT.

John 4:24

King James Version

24 God is a Spirit: 

and they that worship him 

must worship him in spirit and in truth.

GOD and JESUS are ONE.

Isaiah 9:6

King James Version

6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: 

and the government shall be upon his shoulder: 

and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, 

The mighty God, The everlasting Father, 

The Prince of Peace.

John 10:30-33

King James Version

30 I and my Father are one.

There is only ONE life.

Hebrews 9:27

King James Version

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, 

but after this the judgment:

We are to focus on JESUS alone.

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.

We must REPENT and BELIEVE the gospel.

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, and believe the gospel.

We must be BORN AGAIN.

John 3:5-8

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: 

so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

The born again receives the SPIRIT of TRUTH.

John 14:16-17

King James Version

16 And I will pray the Father, 

and he shall give you another Comforter, 

that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; 

whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, 

neither knoweth him: but ye know him; 

for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

We must be CHILDLIKE with GOD.

Matthew 18:3

King James Version

3 And said, 

Verily I say unto you, 

Except ye be converted, 

and become as little children, 

ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

We are to LOVE GOD.

Mark 12:29-30

King James Version

29 And Jesus answered him, 

The first of all the commandments is, 

Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God 

with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy mind, 

and with all thy strength: 

this is the first commandment.

We are to LOVE one other.

John 13:34-35

King James Version

34 A new commandment I give unto you, 

That ye love one another; as I have loved you, 

that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, 

if ye have love one to another.

GOD doesn't want ANYONE to perish.

2 Peter 3:9

King James Version

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 

as some men count slackness; 

but is longsuffering to us-ward, 

not willing that any should perish, 

but that all should come to repentance.

But the WICKED shall PERISH.

Psalm 37:20

King James Version

20 But the wicked shall perish, 

and the enemies of the Lord 

shall be as the fat of lambs: 

they shall consume; 

into smoke shall they consume away.

The WORLD hates JESUS.

John 15:18

King James Version

18 If the world hate you, 

ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

This is WHY the world hates JESUS.

King James Version

7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, 

because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

WHY we are NOT to love the WORLD's ways.

King James Version

15 And he said unto them, 

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 

but God knoweth your hearts: 

for that which is highly esteemed among men 

is abomination in the sight of God.

VENGEANCE belongs to the LORD.

Romans 12:19

King James Version

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, 

but rather give place unto wrath: 

for it is written, 

Vengeance is mine; 

I will repay, saith the Lord.

There is one UNFORGIVABLE sin.

Mark 3:28-29

King James Version

28 Verily I say unto you, 

All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, 

and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost 

hath never forgiveness, 

but is in danger of eternal damnation.

This sin is UNFORGIVABLE for it blasphemes JESUS.

Mark 3:30

He hath an unclean spirit.

HOW a BELIEVER's life will be on earth.

that in me ye might have peace. 

In the world ye shall have tribulation:

We are fighting a war with demons on earth.

Ephesians 2:1-2

King James Version

2 And you hath he quickened, 

who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein in time past ye walked 

according to the course of this world, 

according to the prince of the power of the air, 

the spirit that now worketh 

in the children of disobedience:

We need to put on the ARMOR of GOD to fight this battle.

Ephesians 6:11-18

King James Version

11 Put on the whole armour of God, 

that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, 

but against principalities, against powers, 

against the rulers of the darkness of this world, 

against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, 

that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, 

and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, 

having your loins girt about with truth, 

and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod 

with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, 

wherewith ye shall be able to quench 

all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, 

and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 Praying always 

with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, 

and watching thereunto with all perseverance 

and supplication for all saints;

ISRAEL is the APPLE of GOD's eye.

Zechariah 2:8

King James Version

8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; 

After the glory hath he sent me 

unto the nations which spoiled you: 

for he that toucheth you 

toucheth the apple of his eye.

GOD commands us to LOVE Israel.

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, 

and curse him that curseth thee: 

and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

JESUS knows if YOU are HIS.

King James Version

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; 

and they shall never perish, 

neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

JESUS is the WORD of GOD.

John 1:14

King James Version

14 And the Word was made flesh, 

and dwelt among us, 

(and we beheld his glory, 

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) 

full of grace and truth.

There is nothing more powerful than the WORD of GOD.

Hebrews 4:12

King James Version

12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, 

and sharper than any twoedged sword, 

piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, 

and of the joints and marrow, 

and is a discerner 

of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

The WORD is ALL that will REMAIN.

Matthew 24:35

King James Version

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, 

but my words shall not pass away.

Without JESUS, we are NOT capable of doing anything.

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

The RAPTURE can happen ANY moment.

Matthew 24:39-42

King James Version

39 And knew not until the flood came, 

and took them all away; 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; 

the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; 

the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: 

for ye know not what hour 

your Lord doth come.

Only GOD knows the day, or the hour.

Mark 13:32

King James Version

32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, 

no, not the angels which are in heaven, 

neither the Son, but the Father.

The PARADOX of that day, or hour.

Matthew 24:44

King James Version

44 Therefore be ye also ready: 

for in such an hour as ye think not 

the Son of man cometh.

GOD is MASTER of TIME.

2 Peter 3:8

King James Version

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, 

that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, 

and a thousand years as one day.

Commit all these to heart.

We will be needing it in these most challenging times.

Only the WORD of GOD can give us the assurance we need.

PRINT this post, SHARE it, LIVE it, LOVE it.

And may the AWESOME LORD bless you and your family!

and be gracious unto thee:
