Encourage One Another In The Faith

Maintaining our Faith is the most critical aspect of our lives.

Virtually everything that goes on in the world is designed to destroy our Faith.

Why is this?

Because Satan rules this wicked world and his mission is to destroy our Faith.

Therefore ENCOURAGING each other in the Faith is critical.

That is the whole reason that I write,

To encourage you and myself in the Faith.

The seldom spoken of reality within the Church of God

Is that the world is ruled by Satan.

Without understanding this reality

It is virtually impossible to have Saving Faith.

If you do not understand this reality you will end up trusting in man

And the Word of God says:

Cursed is the one who trusts in man. (Jeremiah 17:5)

Why does the Church of God ignore this reality?

Because much of the Church of God has aligned themselves

With the culture that surrounds them, perhaps especially in America.

They have capitulated to the culture.

They go along to get along.

They have taken their eye off the ULTIMATE GOAL: Heaven.

They have forgotten that friendship with the world

Is enmity toward God and His Christ Jesus. (James 4:4)

Christ Jesus told His disciples:

I have told you these things, so that IN ME you may have PEACE.

In this world you will have TROUBLE.

But take heart! I have OVERCOME the world. (John 16:33)

Many Churches have a theology the DISCOUNTS

Much of the Word of God,

Especially the Book of Revelation and the Old Testament Prophecies

Concerning the End of Time.

Christ Jesus says to those who do so:

If anyone takes words away from this Book of Prophecy,

God will take away from his his share in The Tree of LIFE

And in the Holy City which are described in the Book. (Revelation 22:19)

Why do Churches do such a thing?

Because this makes it easier for them to live in the world

And not have to concern themselves with what God says will happen

At the End of Time.

Some say that all that is written about the End of Time

Has already happened in previous history. These include the Preterists.

Many are attending Churches that believe these Heresies

And do not know it.

It is why these Churches avoid talking about the End of Time.

It is of no concern to them.

Because of this they are unprepared to cope

With what Scripture says will happen at the End of Time.

It will be a complete surprise to them

And devastating to the Faith of their Congregations.

Listen to the apostle Paul:

Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant

About those who fall asleep,

Or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope.

We believe that Jesus died and rose again

And so we believe that God will bring with Jesus

Those who have fallen asleep IN HIM.

According to the Lord's own word,

We tell you that we who are still alive,

Who are left till the Coming of the Lord,

Will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.

For the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven,

With a Loud Command,

With the voice of the archangel and with the Trumpet Call of God,

And the dead IN Christ will rise first.

After that, we who are still alive and are left

Will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.

And so we will be with the Lord FOREVER.

Therefore ENCOURAGE each other with these words.

Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you,

For you know very well that The Day Of The Lord

Will come like A Thief In The Night.

While people are saying “PEACE AND SAFETY,”

Destruction will come on them SUDDENLY,

As labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will NOT ESCAPE.

But you brothers, are not in DARKNESS

So that THIS DAY should surprise you like a THIEF.

You are all Sons Of The LIGHT and Sons OF THE DAY.

We do not belong to the NIGHT or to the DARKNESS.

So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep,

But let us be ALERT and self-controlled.

For those who sleep, sleep at NIGHT,

And those who get drunk at NIGHT.

But since we belong to the DAY,

Let us be self-controlled,

Putting on FAITH and LOVE as a breastplate,

And the HOPE of Salvation as a helmet.

For God did not appoint us to suffer WRATH

But to receive Salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

He died for us to that, whether we are awake or asleep,

We may live together with Him.

Therefore ENCOURAGE one another and build each other up,

Just as in fact you are doing. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 5:1-11)

I pray that all who read this message will be encouraged by God's Word

And His wonderful promises

And encourage your brothers and sisters in the Faith,

As we await the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Who is coming SOON!

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
