11/19/2013 God's promises being fulfilled

God is forever faithful to His word. My surgery went extremely well and recovery is moving along as God plans, which is better than I could ever ask for.

God has made many promises to us and the fact that He cannot lie makes every promise true. Watch around you and see how He is answering His promises in your life. He is answering prayers quicker than ever before. You will notice how you used to have to wait on the Lord, and He will answer in His time. Well, His time is much quicker now.


Christ's time is close. Think about it ...


Back in the days of the Old Testament, there were 100 prophecies that told of Jesus, the Messiah, coming to earth. They waited and waited and hoped and hoped. Then one day, the prophecy was fulfilled. Jesus Christ had arrived and the New Testament came into effect.


The same thing is happening now. There are over 1000 prophecies telling of Jesus Christ's return back to earth. We watch and watch and pray and pray.


Now the time has come. The prophecies are coming to pass. They are in the final stages of being fulfilled before our eyes.


Don't miss it! So many people missed the first coming, the birth of Jesus Christ. Now the second coming is so close we can almost taste it. Don't be among the many who will miss it!


Thing is ...


No one will miss Christ's second coming. But many won't believe He is coming and will not accept Him as their personal Savior. Because of that, many will perish in Hell because they refused to accept the truth.


Don't be among those who perish. It's time to get serious about your salvation. We are racing the Rapture! Are you ready?


God revealed many future prophecies to His prophet, Daniel. Many of these prophecies match up with the prophecies revealed to John in the book of Revelation. At the time of Daniel's writings, Daniel did not understand what God was telling him. Daniel 12:8-9 says:

"And I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, O my lord, what shall be the issue and final end of these things?
And he [the angel] said, Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end."

We are in that time right now. We are the people of the “time of the end” and these prophecies that are in the Bible are now being revealed to us so that we can have an understanding.

Many people, in fact most, do not understand the meanings of the book of Revelation. There are secrets within it's teachings that are being revealed now that people of other generations were not able to understand.

This is a very exciting time. As we unfold the meanings over the next days and weeks you will realize we are now living in the end times. What that really means is that there is not much time left for those who have not accepted Salvation to make their decision before Jesus Christ's return. Our job as believers is to go out into all the world and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. His wish is that none perish, no, not one.

If you have not accepted Christ as your Savior, I encourage you to not wait a minute longer. Come with me, if you will, and take a personal journey down the Romans Road:
Admit you are a sinner.
Understand that as a sinner, you deserve death.
Believe Jesus Christ died on the cross to save you from sin and death.
Repent by turning from your old life of sin to a new life in Christ.
Receive, through faith in Jesus Christ, his free gift of salvation.

Walk along the Romans Road to Salvation ...

1.  Everyone needs salvation because we have all sinned.

Romans 3:10-12, and 23
As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” ... For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. (NLT)

2.  The price (or consequence) of sin is death.

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (NLT)

3.  Jesus Christ died for our sins. He paid the price for our death.

Romans 5:8
But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (NLT)

4.  We receive salvation and eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.

Romans 10:9-10, and 13
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved ... For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (NLT)

5.  Salvation through Jesus Christ brings us into a relationship of peace with God.

Romans 5:1
Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. (NLT)

Romans 8:1
So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. (NLT)

Romans 8:38-39
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NLT)

Responding to the Romans Road

Dear Lord,
I admit that I am a sinner. I have done many things that don’t please you. I have lived my life for myself. I am sorry and I repent. I ask you to forgive me. I believe that you died on the cross for me, to save me. You did what I could not do for myself. I come to you now and ask you to take control of my life, I give it to you. Help me to live every day in a way that pleases you. I love you, Lord, and I thank you that I will spend all eternity with you.

Amen.

Welcome to the Family of God!
