Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

Christians Are Not Rule Keepers

Thousands of Writers Inspired by Rev 7:9-12
Christians are not Rule Keepers                                               By Susan Barnes, an Australian pastor's wife
Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why…do you submit to its rules: "Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!"? Colossians 2:20-21
Here Paul is making the astonishing statement that Christians are not to be focussed on rule keeping. This is because we are under the new covenant of grace. St. Augustine went as far as to say, "Love God and do whatever you want". St. Augustine knew that if we really love God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength then we will only do what pleases him. 
Reading the Old Testament we soon realize that God's people were not able to keep rules and Peter made this clear when he addressed the Council at Jerusalem , "Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear?" (Acts 15:10).
In our own strength we cannot obey the rules. However through Jesus' death and resurrection we enter the New Covenant and live under grace. This verse in Colossians teaches us about the rich freedom of living under grace where we no longer have to worry about rule keeping. This freedom is overwhelming yet God didn't leave us without direction. He promised his Spirit, "And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws" (Ezekiel 36:27). 
It is not in our strength we are careful to keep the rules, but rather by God's Spirit.
