Called By Christ To Be ONE: OBTAINING THE PRIZE

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!

OBTAINING THE PRIZE

Obtaining the Prize

Gary Wilkerson

March 5, 2018

In today’s culture, many Christians are confused about the concept of winning. But too often we do not even know how to define what a win looks like. Pastors think that in order to have a winning church they must have a larger building, an increased budget, an effective worship team, a great children’s ministry. Business people think that having more employees, enjoying increased profit, and achieving prestige in their field amounts to winning. All these things are good, of course, and in one sense, they are a win.

But Paul defines winning another way and brings us to the core of God’s message, the gospel of Jesus Christ, and how to obtain the prize.

“One thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13-14).

“Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it” (1 Corinthians 9:24).

Paul goes on to say that he does not just “beat the air” aimlessly, flailing around and running with uncertainty (9:26). He disciplines himself so that he will not become disqualified in the race.

Too many Christians today are rushing around in a dozen different directions, pursuing various ministry endeavors and avenues of self-improvement. True, they might be doing many good things,

but they are not really affecting the win that Paul is talking about — getting people across the finish line.

Let us choose to be as Paul. All around us are broken people, without Jesus, bound by sin and headed for an eternity without God.

We must tell them the good news of Jesus Christ — that he died on the cross for them, that they can be clean and holy.

Another win! Another prize!
