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!

GIVING UP EVERYTHING TO GAIN EVERYTHING

Surrendering Our Claim

LISTEN

“So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own.”

—Luke 14:33

My granddaughter Allie loves to collect stuffed animals. Whenever I’m going on a trip, she’ll say, “Papa, bring me back a stuffed animal.” Awhile back I was on a trip and made a video of some stuffed animals for Allie. Then I called to ask her which one she liked.

“Papa, I’m not obsessed with stuffed animals anymore,” she said.

“Oh, really?”

“I’m just obsessed with talking with you.”
That warmed my heart. I think we all should say to God, “Lord, I’m obsessed with talking with You, walking with You, hearing from You, and knowing You.”

Disciples of Jesus must turn the title deed of their lives over to Christ. Jesus said,

“You cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own” (Luke 14:33 NLT).

The New King James Version says,

“Whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.”

It’s a reminder that we are actually not owners, we are stewards. Everything we have will be passed on to someone else one day.

Does that mean it’s a sin to have a car, or a house, or clothes, or some money in the bank? Of course not. This verse could be translated,

“If you want to be My disciple, surrender your claim to everything in life.”

It’s a recognition that God is the owner. God is in control of it. We recognize that we are just stewards over it for a period of time.

It is not wrong to have a career, but it is wrong if your career has you. It is not wrong to have possessions, but it can be wrong if your possessions have you.

Your only real passion and obsession in life should be Christ. All these other things have their place—but not the most important place.
