When will He Return

Prophecy conference "As ye see the day approaching"

What to do
So that you will "not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming" 1 John 2:28 or "the Son of Man will be ashamed of him" Luke 9:26. Awesome thoughts, right?

See Mondays Email for 1 and 2
1. "Occupy til I come" Luke 19:26. Put to use what God entrusted to you. 2. "Win souls" Jude 21-23. "And he who is wise wins souls" Prov. 11:30

Go to church
3. "Not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near" Heb 10:25

Do you have to go to church to be saved? No. Do you have to live with your wife to be married? No, but you will not have a good married life if you don't. You won't have a very happy Christian life if you don't attend church, hear the Word preached so you grow and fellowship with other believers. We need each other 1 Cor 12:18-27.

Love one another
4. "And may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you; so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints " 1 Thes. 3:12,13. "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another" John 13:35. "Fervently love one another from the heart " 1 Peter 1:22.

Observe the Lord's Supper
5. "For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes" 1 Cor. 11:26." "What a blessed time to "remember" His death, keep your heart warm, to love and worship Him TIL HE COMES.

Preach the Word
6. "I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word" 2 Tim 4:1,2. And do we ever need to hear and heed it. "Shepherd the flock of God...And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory " 1 Peter 5:2,4. Do we ever need feeding and we need that crown to cast at His feet Rev 4:10, 11.

Purify yourself
7. "Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is" 1 Jn 3:2 "... instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus" Titus 2:12,13.

Every man shall have praise
8. "Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God " WOW 1 Cor. 4:5. Imagine, that every Christian shall have PRAISE OF GOD. More on this later.

Be patient, you will get it
9. "You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near " James 5:8. "For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised " Heb 10:36. Establish your heart. Set it on things above!

Seek things above
10. "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God. WHEN CHRIST, who is our life, SHALL APPEAR, then shall ye also appear with him in glory" Col 1:1-4. WOW Keep tuned for the rest of the story. So much more prophecy to come to pass.

O dear people: For heaven's sake, what on earth are you doing right now that will last forever? The greatest quote ever, "The real tragedy of life, is not what people suffer but what they miss" My passion, is that you not miss all God has for you now and forever.

"Only one life, twill soon be past. Only what's done for Christ will last" You know it's so

Prayer:  Father, bless these dear people and make us get ready for eternity, in Jesus name

And I love you, all because the Lord Jesus suffered and died for our sins, paid our debt in full and rose again so we can be forgiven and go to heaven, sumner. Do you believe in the finished work of Christ alone for your salvation? Believe and pray to receive Him as your Savior right now. "He that has the Son, has life"

"Lay up treasures in heaven" Matt 6:19,20., you know you will be glad you did!

Dear people, Jesus said, "I will build my church" Matt. 16:18. Let's help Him. He "loved the church and gave himself up for it" Eph 5:25. Hope you love your church.

Prayer:  Father, give us a love for Your church so that we invest the gifts You gave us, in and through Your church. In Jesus name.

And I love you, all because the Lord Jesus suffered and died for our sins, paid our debt in full and rose again so we can be forgiven and go to heaven, sumner. Do you believe in that alone for your salvation? Believe and pray to receive Him as your Savior right now. "He that has the Son, has life"

Evangelism

What in the world are we to do?

"Men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken." "But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near" Luke 21:26, 28.

Dear people, you do not have to be the wizard of OZ to recognize these things are "beginning to come to pass" today. What are we to do? Let me name a few from the Bible that we are told to do.

1. "Occupy til I come"
"So He said, "A nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and then return. "And he called ten of his slaves, and gave them ten minas and said to them, 'Do business with this until I come back" Luke 19:12, 13. Get busy! "Why stand ye gazing up into heaven?" Acts 1:11. "Occupy," put to use what God has trusted you with. You MUST!

2. Win the lost
"Keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. And have mercy on some, who are doubting..." Jude 21-22.

Look what God did
This past week I had the joy of preaching at a men's retreat. On the way home we stopped at a shopping mall. Two ladies were standing at a counter just talking. Graciously I offered each of them a tract and asked if they knew for sure they were going to heaven. Neither did. Taking my gospel cube from my pocket, I presented the gospel, how Christ died for our sins and rose again, to them. It was so beautiful to see God open the eyes of their understanding. They prayed out loud with me to receive the Lord Jesus as their savior. "The harvest is plenty" Matt. 9:37. Get in on it!

Confess with your mouth
One of the men from the retreat was stand near and watching what was happening. I called him over and asked these ladies to tell him what they had just done. "I just got saved" they both confessed. Their faces were beaming with joy. That is what it is all about. "There is joy in heaven" Luke 15:7. "I have no greater joy" 3 John 4.

God trusted you with the gospel Oh dear people, we can't personally change the world but we can see God change one eternal soul so they go to heaven instead of hell. "Occupy till He comes."

Prayer:  Father, You are so wonderful and awesome to let us in on such eternal things. Help us to "redeem the times" and get in on people going to heaven instead of hell. In Jesus name.

And I love you, all because the Lord Jesus suffered and died for our sins, paid our debt in full and rose again so we can be forgiven and go to heaven, sumner. Do you believe in that alone for your salvation? Believe and pray to receive Him as your Savior right now. "He that has the Son, has life"
