WORRIED about the FUTURE?

 

Philippians 4:6-7

King James Version

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing 

by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving 

let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, 

which passeth all understanding, 

shall keep your hearts and minds 

through Christ Jesus.

Are you worried about the future?

We should be.

Especially if we're not right with GOD.

What good would tons of money do?

Especially if we end up in hell?

We can't buy our way out of it.

Everything is the world is temporary.

Everything is an illusion.

We've all bought into it.

Only in JESUS can we have certainty.

Believers have eternal life with JESUS.

Nothing in the world can assure us.

Banks cannot assure us.

Governments can't.

Companies can't.

That's the way of the world.

It's under the control of Satan.

He's got it all rigged.

Everyone's under his payroll.

With many not aware of it.

And how the dude gloats.

But the born again knows.

We are aware.

We know Scripture.

We know the WORD of GOD.

We know His promises.

We know our future.

We know what to believe in.

We know Who to believe in.

We know Who to put our trust in.

We know who to avoid.

If everything's complicated in the world, it was designed to be.

And it sure doesn't serve the everyday person.

The god of this world makes sure of that.

1 Peter 5:8

King James Version

8 Be sober, be vigilant; 

because your adversary the devil, 

as a roaring lion, 

walketh about, 

seeking whom he may devour:

The world was designed to serve the few.

To serve the manipulators.

To serve the godless.

To serve Satan.

Everything's designed to confuse everyday people.

Everything's designed to keep us in the dark, and out of the loop.

Everything's designed to take away personal power from us.

If it was so simple, we'd have no need for lawyers and accountants.

And many more industries would be out of business.

But Satan likes to keep the game going.

And GOD will allow -- for a time.

If you think I'm imagining things, listen to this video.

Funny this video shows up today.

Those things had been on my mind for ages.

It tells of how the world is being run.

And where to put our hope in.

But don't be afraid.

GOD has a master plan for salvation.

He wants us to be NEW creatures, in an old system.

2 Corinthians 5:17

King James Version

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, 

he is a new creature: old things are passed away; 

behold, all things are become new.

Only by being born again is that possible.

Being born again means we are taught by SPIRIT.

GOD's SPIRIT teaches us about JESUS.

That's how we get peace.

The peace we so dearly desire.

The peace the world withholds so much from us.

And yet, we only need to look to JESUS.

It's the only way to breathe easy.

In JESUS is our SALVATION.

SAVING the LOST

 

JESUS declared:

Luke 19:10

King James Version

10 For the Son of man is come 

to seek and to save that which was lost.

Who are the lost?

What makes them lost?

What does the Bible say?

What dangers do they face?

Let SPIRIT and SCRIPTURE tell us.

Whether Jew, or Gentile, these apply to all of us:

Matthew 13:41-42

King James Version

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, 

and they shall gather out of his kingdom 

all things that offend, 

and them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: 

there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 24:37-39

King James Version

37 But as the days of Noah were, 

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

38 For as in the days that were before the flood 

they were eating and drinking, 

marrying and giving in marriage, 

until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, 

and took them all away; 

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

John 8:24

King James Version

24 I said therefore unto you, 

that ye shall die in your sins: 

for if ye believe not that I am he, 

ye shall die in your sins.

John 8:44-45

King James Version

44 Ye are of your father the devil, 

and the lusts of your father ye will do. 

He was a murderer from the beginning, 

and abode not in the truth, 

because there is no truth in him. 

When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: 

for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

2 Timothy 3:1-7

King James Version

3 This know also, that in the last days 

perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, 

covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, 

disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, 

trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, 

despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, 

lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, 

but denying the power thereof: 

from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, 

and lead captive silly women laden with sins, 

led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, 

and never able to come 

to the knowledge of the truth.

Revelation 21:27

King James Version

27 And there shall in no wise enter into it 

any thing that defileth, 

neither whatsoever worketh abomination, 

or maketh a lie: 

but they which are written 

in the Lamb's book of life.

Revelation 22:14-15

King James Version

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, 

that they may have right to the tree of life, 

and may enter in through the gates into the city.

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, 

and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, 

and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

In SUMMARY, the "lost" are:

all things that offend

them which do iniquity

those who live carelessly, as in before the flood

those who don't believe JESUS is the SON of GOD

murderers, liars

lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof

captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth

any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie

dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie

Are you one of the lost?

Do you hear GOD's call now?

What call, you'd probably ask.

Let JESUS tell us:

Matthew 22:37-38

King James Version

37 Jesus said unto him, 

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

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.

John 3:3-7

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, 

and be born?

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.

Now that you know all these, would you say you're lost?

Or saved?

Time to make a stand now.

Turn to JESUS now.

That you may share eternal life with Him.

Man has no idea what disbelief and rebellion entail.

Only through JESUS do we have a chance at REAL life.

John 3:16-17

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.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

GOD loves us all, and wants all of us saved.

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.

The question is, do you want to be saved?

Have you acknowledged your own sinfulness?

Are you aware of your errors?

Do you know what pleases GOD?

Turn to GOD, and repent.

For it's all preparation now.

JESUS talks about the Rapture

 

JESUS commands:

Luke 12:35

King James Version

35 Let your loins be girded about, 

and your lights burning;

The Rapture can occur any moment.

JESUS alerted me to that in early 2020.

Four months after GOD made me born again.

That warning took my work to the next level.

Every post has been to warn, and wake people up.

JESUS talks about the Rapture:

Matthew 24:40-42

King James Version

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.

And how we must prepare:

Luke 12:36

King James Version

36 And ye yourselves like unto men 

that wait for their lord, 

when he will return from the wedding; 

that when he cometh and knocketh, 

they may open unto him immediately.

Luke 12:37-38

King James Version

37 Blessed are those servants, 

whom the lord when he cometh 

shall find watching: 

verily I say unto you, 

that he shall gird himself, 

and make them to sit down to meat, 

and will come forth and serve them.

38 And if he shall come in the second watch, 

or come in the third watch, 

and find them so, blessed are those servants.

Luke 12:39

King James Version

39 And this know, 

that if the goodman of the house had known 

what hour the thief would come, 

he would have watched, 

and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

Luke 12:40

King James Version

40 Be ye therefore ready also: 

for the Son of man cometh at an hour 

when ye think not.

Luke 12:42-43

King James Version

42 And the Lord said, 

Who then is that faithful and wise steward, 

whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, 

to give them their portion of meat in due season?

43 Blessed is that servant, 

whom his lord when he cometh 

shall find so doing.

Luke 12:46

King James Version

46 The lord of that servant will come in a day 

when he looketh not for him, 

and at an hour when he is not aware, 

and will cut him in sunder, 

and will appoint him his portion 

with the unbelievers.

Luke 12:54-56

King James Version

54 And he said also to the people, 

When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, 

straightway ye say, 

There cometh a shower; and so it is.

55 And when ye see the south wind blow, 

ye say, There will be heat; 

and it cometh to pass.

56 Ye hypocrites, 

ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; 

but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, 

he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, 

Be not afraid, only believe.

If you were to watch the news today, you'd be worried.

But believers in JESUS can't be worried.

A true born again trusts in JESUS.

Completely.

SPIRIT and SCRIPTURE give us comfort.

Showing that only THROUGH JESUS, can we have peace.

We know GOD is in control of everything.

We have FAITH in our LORD.

JESUS assures us:

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

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

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.

John 14:27

love, joy, peace, longsuffering,

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh 

with the affections and lusts.

25 If we live in the Spirit, 

let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, 

provoking one another, envying one another.

Philippians 4:6-7

shall keep your hearts and minds 

through Christ Jesus.

working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, 

through Jesus Christ; 

to whom be glory for ever and ever. 

Amen.

King James Version

17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, 

then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, 

full of mercy and good fruits, 

without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Believers are unafraid.

We have peace.

FREE of worry

 

Psalm 37:18

King James Version

18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright:

 and their inheritance shall be for ever.

Why does the Bible say "fret not"?

What are we supposed to be free of worry from?

Why shouldn't we worry about evildoers?

Here's where SPIRIT led me:

Psalm 37:1-2

King James Version

37 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, 

neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, 

and wither as the green herb.

Psalm 37:7

King James Version

7 Rest in the Lord, 

and wait patiently for him: 

fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, 

because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Psalm 37:8

King James Version

8 Cease from anger, 

and forsake wrath: 

fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

Instead of fretting, what does JESUS say?

John 16:33

King James Version

33 These things I have spoken unto you, 

that in me ye might have peace. 

In the world ye shall have tribulation: 

but be of good cheer; 

I have overcome the world.

In addition, apostle Paul urges us to focus on CHRIST 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.

It's also good to know these things:

11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?

 and why art thou disquieted within me? 

hope thou in God: 

for I shall yet praise him, 

who is the health of my countenance, 

and my God.

What to look forward to in 2023?

As born again, my hope is only in JESUS.

Living each day, by the Bible.

Looking forward to the Rapture.

These verses will give you comfort for 2023:

Proverbs 19:21

King James Version

21 There are many devices in a man's heart; 

nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, 

that shall stand.

Jeremiah 29:11

King James Version

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, 

saith the Lord, 

thoughts of peace, 

and not of evil, 

to give you an expected end.

Lamentations 3:22-23

King James Version

22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, 

because his compassions fail not.

23 They are new every morning: 

great is thy faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:24

King James Version

24 The Lord is my portion, 

saith my soul; 

therefore will I hope in him.

Lamentations 3:25-26

King James Version

25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, 

to the soul that seeketh him.

26 It is good that a man should both hope 

and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.

Matthew 6:25

King James Version

25 Therefore I say unto you, 

Take no thought for your life, 

what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; 

nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. 

Is not the life more than meat, 

and the body than raiment?

Matthew 6:30

King James Version

30 Wherefore, 

if God so clothe the grass of the field, 

which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, 

shall he not much more clothe you, 

O ye of little faith?

Matthew 6:31-33

King James Version

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, 

What shall we eat? or, 

What shall we drink? 

or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) 

for your heavenly Father knoweth 

that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, 

and his righteousness; 

and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matthew 6:34

King James Version

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: 

for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. 

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Romans 8:18

King James Version

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time 

are not worthy to be compared with the glory 

which shall be revealed in us.

Romans 8:22-25

King James Version

22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth 

and travaileth in pain together until now.

23 And not only they, but ourselves also, 

which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, 

even we ourselves groan within ourselves, 

waiting for the adoption, to wit, 

the redemption of our body.

24 For we are saved by hope: 

but hope that is seen is not hope: 

for what a man seeth, 

why doth he yet hope for?

25 But if we hope for that we see not, 

then do we with patience wait for it.

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.

Romans 8:28

King James Version

28 And we know that all things work together for good 

to them that love God, 

to them who are the called 

according to his purpose.

2 Corinthians 4:13-14

King James Version

13 We having the same spirit of faith, 

according as it is written, 

I believed, and therefore have I spoken; 

we also believe, and therefore speak;

14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus 

shall raise up us also by Jesus, 

and shall present us with you.

2 Corinthians 4:15-16

King James Version

15 For all things are for your sakes, 

that the abundant grace might 

through the thanksgiving of many 

redound to the glory of God.

16 For which cause we faint not; 

but though our outward man perish, 

yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

2 Corinthians 4:17-18

King James Version

17 For our light affliction, 

which is but for a moment, 

worketh for us 

a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, 

but at the things which are not seen: 

for the things which are seen are temporal; 

but the things which are not seen are eternal.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

King James Version

5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, 

ye have no need that I write unto you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly 

that the day of the Lord so cometh 

as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; 

then sudden destruction cometh upon them, 

as travail upon a woman with child; 

and they shall not escape.

4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, 

that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5 Ye are all the children of light, 

and the children of the day: 

we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; 

but let us watch and be sober.

7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; 

and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, 

putting on the breastplate of faith and love; 

and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, 

but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

10 Who died for us, that, 

whether we wake or sleep, 

we should live together with him.

11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, 

and edify one another, even as also ye do.

James 4:13-15

King James Version

13 Go to now, ye that say, 

To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, 

and continue there a year, 

and buy and sell, and get gain:

14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. 

For what is your life? 

It is even a vapour, 

that appeareth for a little time, 

and then vanisheth away.

15 For that ye ought to say, 

If the Lord will, we shall live, 

and do this, or that.

1 Peter 1:3-7

King James Version

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

which according to his abundant mercy 

hath begotten us again unto a lively hope 

by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, 

and undefiled, 

and that fadeth not away, 

reserved in heaven for you,

5 Who are kept by the power of God 

through faith unto salvation 

ready to be revealed in the last time.

6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, 

though now for a season, if need be, 

ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

7 That the trial of your faith, 

being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, 

though it be tried with fire, 

might be found unto praise and honour and glory 

at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
