Maranatha - Awaiting Christ's Return

1 Cor. 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1 Pe 5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Rom 12:21  Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Don’t let your thoughts stray far from the blessed event of the Rapture. Stay diligent and aware of the signs. God gave us the tools to find Him, receive His salvation, and to get to know Him. Not only that, the Bible is His gift to mankind so that we can draw near to Him and also learn of what is to come. He does not leave us in the dark. We are children of light! So get your mind ready and let’s proceed.

Many think that the Bible is all about good but it is so much more than that. God warns us of the evil that surrounds us but He doesn’t stop there. He provides us with Scriptures that teach us how to stay away from this evil.

Here is an article about an event that happened in mid February! We are seeing more of these types of events involving Satan. It’s truly frightening but we know that the evil deeds of Satan are alive and well and they are leading the world head first into the end times. You don’t see this advertised on television or in the online news. The devil is crafty and does things in the background so that Christians won’t be up in arms! This article is about an event that the satanic temple in Scottsdale, Arizona was promoting.

The SatanCon event is open also to the public, hoping to entice inquiring minds to open up to the products and activities in the SatanCon Marketplace. Visitors can also participate in the late-night “Impurity Ball” satanic ritual. No doubt there will be many people attending for the sake of spectacle and intrigue, and who may find that their curiosity comes at a price with the demonic activity summoned at an event such as this.

Did you read anything having to do with this on social media? I had to actually do a DuckDuckGo search on topics such as these in order to find what I was looking for. This is very disturbing in light of what is going on right under our noses, Christian; in our own beloved Country!

If you are not born again, you do not have the light of Christ living within you in order to discern these types of evil. This is what this organization is hoping for! One might think that this is an isolated incident, but it is not. This satanic religion is working hard to recruit our youth and anyone else who does not have wisdom from above!

The Satanic Temple, subject of the critically-acclaimed documentary, Hail Satan?, and the academic analysis of modern Satanism, Speak of the Devil, confronts religious discrimination to secure the separation of church and state and defend the Constitutional rights of its members. In response to Oklahoma and Arkansas placing a Ten Commandments statue on Capitol grounds, TST offered its bronze Baphomet statue to stand alongside the Christian monuments. TST hosts the “After School Satan” club to counter the Evangelical “Good News Clubs” in public schools across the country to promote a plurality of religious viewpoints. The mission of The Satanic Temple is to encourage benevolence and empathy, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense, oppose injustice, and undertake noble pursuits for the individual will.

Jas 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

We can truly see by these news articles why the devil is referred to as a roaring lion who walks around looking for someone to devour! It doesn’t say that he is simply a lion. We know that a lion is large and strong. But the three verbs in 1 Peter 5:8 show us that he roars, he walks about, and he devours. Is it any wonder that Peter is warning us to be alert and vigilant? The devil wants nothing more than to distract believers and make them scared so they produce nothing for Christ. He cannot cause us to lose our salvation because that is secure. However, he can make our lives miserable if we let him.

1 Pe 5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

So in closing, remember, Christian, Phil 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Christ tarries because He wants all to be saved. His tarrying the rapture of the Church is an indication that the last soul as yet to be won. But once it is, BAM! We’re outta here!!! \o/

Friend, it is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved.

Rapture and End Time News – Hidden Agenda No Longer Hidden

By

On June 28, 2023

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

We are most certainly in the end times. Confusion runs rampant in our streets. In years past, one would not have heard nor seen such things as we are today. Just last week, there was a march in Manhattan where one could hear chanting:

We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children!

https://tinyurl.com/yc6ma44m

It’s not even hidden – it is out in the open and there is no longer a hidden agenda. It is pure evil spawned by the devil himself. The devil has wanted the children from the beginning! He tried to destroy the seed of Moses so Jesus would not be born. He tried to destroy Jesus through the work of Herod. His goals are totally the opposite of Jesus’ goals!

1 Pet 5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

2 Cor 4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Joh 8:44  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.

1 John 5:19  And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Some government servants took a stand on moral ground. But I’m afraid that these stands are not enough. The Church is not screaming louder than those who promote such evil deeds.

“This movement grooms minors to have mastectomies and castration and fuels a multi billion dollar medical child abuse industry,”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) tweeted in response to the clip.

This is pure, unadulterated sin! Imagine allowing your child(ren) to be lab rats undergoing experimental surgeries where lifetime repercussions result! This is no different than Josef Mengele’s surgeries during Hitler’s reign of terror. People were outraged when the truth came out. Where are these objectors now? Why isn’t the Church screaming at the top of her lungs to put an end to all of this!

Joh 3:19-20  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.  (20)  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

Jesus Christ will win in the end and the judgment that will be passed on people who participate and support such events will have to account for their actions. Their own sins will bring judgment upon themselves.

Rev 20:15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

No matter what sin(s) one commits, the end result is the same. (Romans 3:23) No one can enter Heaven on his own merit. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Every human being since the fall of Adam and Eve is born with a sinful nature. You don’t have to teach a child to do wrong; you have to teach a child to do what is right. No matter what a person does, that person starts off life the same as everyone else. After we are born, we start our lives heading down the path of condemnation, which is eternity in the Lake of Fire. That is why the Apostle John said that we are condemned already!

Joh 3:18  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

That is why Jesus said we must be “born-again”! (John 3:3, 3:7) We cannot be born physically a second time. But our spirit is born-again. Rather than seek after evil, we now desire to seek after that which is good. We must turn around spiritually! We must repent of that life and forsake our sinful nature. That is why Jesus said:

Mat 7:13-14  Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:  (14)  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31, Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour? If no, your sins are not covered by His sacrificial offering of Himself. You have not been redeemed by His blood. It is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already.

Rapture and End Time News – Gender Identity

By

On June 7, 2023

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

Gen 1:27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Gen 5:2  Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

Mar 10:6  But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

Mat 19:4-5  And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,  (5)  And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

There are no mistakes with God. The genetic makeup of a man and a woman are most certainly different. When God created mankind, He said His work was very good! (Genesis 1:31) There are no mistakes with God.

I am not here to pass judgment on anyone because that is God’s job. (Revelation 20:11-15) My job as a Christian is to draw sinners to Jesus Christ so they can be saved, just as my friend drew me to Him in 1980! (Mark 16:15) Thank you, Vicky!!! 🙌🙌 Praise the Lord that she shared the good news with me. That is true love and that is how Christians should behave.

If you have been scarred by hurtful and condemning comments made by “Christians,” then they have been disobedient to God’s Word. We are to love all of God’s creation and to point them to everlasting life through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

1 John 4:20-21  If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?  (21)  And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Reader, you must understand that your actions today are not going to condemn you before God! Really, Kate??? The Bible says that everyone who is born is already condemned because they are born with a sinful nature. Just as I was already condemned before I became born-again. (John 3:3, 3:7)

Joh 3:18  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

That is the whole purpose of being “born-again”! One must be born-again in order to go from the “condemned” line to the “not condemned line. Once one is born-again, the old sinful nature is replaced with a desire to live for God. Christians are not sinless but they will sin less and less as they grow spiritually. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Friend, today’s end-time agenda is deceiving many into believing that because they are the result of evolution, there are genetic “mistakes.”

What used to be a “theory of evolution” is now looked upon as fact. But in the beginning, it was not so. Can you not see that these are lies that are being thrown at people from the father of lies!

Joh 8:44  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.

The devil desires to kill you so you will go to Hell. That is his ultimate goal. He is filled with lies that are powerful. He is the opposite of God. God has truth and life (John 14:6) while the devil has lies and death. In fact, he will cause those lies to appear as though they are from God! They are from the god of this world.

1 Peter 5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

2 Cor 4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

2 Cor 11:14  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Reader, God did not make a mistake when He created you. He loves you (John 3:16) and wants you to be saved so you can spend eternity with Him. God made you in His image and He said His creation was very good.

Gen 1:31  And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

The only way to find the truth in a world filled with lies is by reading the Bible. It is our manual for life as we walk this earth. God didn’t leave us empty-handed to go willy-nilly into a world that has gone crazy. He loves us and has given us the Bible so we can find out His will for us.

Joh 17:17  Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Mat 4:4  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

If you believe that you are a mistake of evolution, then you are not alone. There are at least one-third of children in England between 16-18 that believe it as well. I’m saddened by this article.

Almost a third of youngsters have been taught that a woman can have a penis. That is just one of the concerning findings that Civitas, the Institute for the Study of Civil Society, a British think tank, has revealed in a new report. Show, tell and leave nothing to the imagination: How critical social justice is undermining British schooling.

The organisation conducted a survey in England of more than 1,100 youngsters aged 16 to 18 and a poll of a similar number of parents of younger teenagers.

Gender Identity

This is not a new thing, nor is social justice. The Bible has much to say on the topic and we can know what is the truth if we only read the Bible. If you are a believer, your job isn’t to scream and yell as the unbelievers do to us. Our job is to point them to the truth and to love them. God will reveal their sin to them – it is up to you to reveal His Word to them. Let the Holy Spirit do the rest.

The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31, Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour?

Rapture and End Time News – SatanCon 2023

By

On May 10, 2023

In Devotionals, Rapture and End Time News

Satan is alive and well today. One only has to look around, listen to the news and one can see the devil’s influence. He is known as the prince of the power of the air and he knows that his time is short. This new series will cover end time news items and where the Bible speaks of them.

Today’s topic is about Boston’s annual SatanCon conference and its depraved agenda! I never thought I would find myself writing about this horrible topic. But it is one that is going to become more and more prevalent in our society. The Apostle Paul warned us that in the end times people would adopt the doctrines of devils and would listen to seducing spirits. It sounds as though this is already at work today, and it is!

1 Tim 4:1  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

It’s not bad enough that the devil’s influence is all around us, but now his practices are openly celebrated in our country. Since the 1960’s, we’ve opened the door to more and more satanic influences and they are multiplying by the day. Where does this doctrine come from? One of the Christian evangelists who was outside the conference center made this comment:

Kubal said they were surprised to learn during their conversations with some of the Satanists that many of them had been raised as Christians, but “maybe had a hurt from the church and now had navigated away from the church.”

https://www.foxnews.com/us/christian-evangelists-bostons-satancon-claim-about-100-people-converted-were-in-battle

It’s sad that children who were raised in the church have left the church because of false preachers; wolves in sheep’s clothing they are! This is how Satan does his work. Jesus spoke of this in Matthew 7:15! The devil loves nothing more than to put one of his men in the pulpit and watch that church fall apart. And even better, he watches as lives are ruined because of it.

At the conference, a Bible and a Thin Blue Line flag were torn up, which represents law enforcement. The very epitome of authority is represented in these two items and they are hated by satanists.

Discipline in the home has reached an all-time low due to the deterioration of the home. There are 10.6 million one-parent households in the U.S. today. There is a rebellious covering over our nation enveloping our cities and we wonder from where it is coming. Satan’s influence is all over this globe (1 Peter 5:8) and as his followers gain more and more influence, we can expect a great falling away after the Rapture. Then Satan will have full rule over this earth and the wrath of God will come upon it like no other time before.

2 Th 2:3  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

The time is coming when it will be too late for you to repent. You will remember each opportunity you were given by God to be saved; you will remember each time you laughed it off and ignored it. Please Reader, repent and accept Christ into your life. (Act 16:31, Rom 10:9) I want to be sure that anyone who reads the posts on this blog can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are going to Heaven. Have you received Christ as your Saviour?
