What is it ??? The Rapture. It is the return of Jesus to gather his church from the earth. Will it happen ?? I believe, without a doubt, it will happen. When will it happen ?? No one knows, not even the Angels, know the timing. Only God the Father knows for sure. Do you want to be part of it,,, that is a, for sure, YES. How can you be part of it ??

You have to believe in Jesus. You have to believe he is the only son of God. You have to believe he came to earth as a man and died on the cross to take on the sins of the world. You have to believe he died on that cross and was risen from the dead 3 days later by God the Father to defeat Death. You have to admit, to Jesus, you are a sinner and fall short of the Glory of God. You have to ask him for forgiveness and to save you from your sins. Jesus will accept you and forgive you and you will spend eternity in Heaven with him. No ifs, No ands, No buts,,, it will be done instantly !!! Please,,, Do It Now,,, Ask and You Shall Receive !!

Here is the prayer I was taught to ask forgiveness,, it works….

“Dear Lord, I know I am a sinner and fall short of your glory. I believe in my heart that Jesus is your one and only son and that he came to earth to take on the sins of the world so that I may gain forgiveness of my sins. I believe he was raised from the dead after 3 days and returned to heaven to be with the Father. Please forgive me my sins and take me to heaven when I die. I ask this in Jesus name,,, Amen ”

That’s it, if you believed that prayer from you heart,,, you are saved and Jesus will send the Holy Spirit to you for peace, joy and guidance. Done Deal,,, never to be taken from you. You are now sealed by Christ as one of his children. Get yourself a King James Version based Bible and start reading,,, it will take on a whole new meaning and you will understand what you could not understand before because the Holy Spirit will now make it clear to you !!!

Now you will be part of the Rapture when it happens or you will already be in Heaven if you pass from this world before it happens !!

During the Rapture, Jesus will return in the clouds and in a instant, the blink of an eye, he will call up the dead in Christ (Saved) first and immediately after that he will call up the living in Christ (Saved) into Heaven. Millions of people will simply vanish from the face of the earth. He will also remove the Holy Spirit from the earth.  This, will be a time of chaos for the people who remain and I guarantee, you don’t want to be here. This will be the start of the Tribulation on earth, the pouring out of God’s Wrath onto the earth and the people who did not accept his son and believe.

If you want to read more about what the Tribulation could be like, I would suggest: Agents of the Apocalypse by David Jeremiah. That is an attention getter !!!

I believe that we have all been given gifts from God. It may be the gift of giving, or the gift of leading or the gift of singing,,, who knows,,, but you will know. They are all special to God and perfectly fit to each one of us individually.

God gives us these gifts that we may glorify him and if we use them to glorify him,,, he will  glorify us and all worldly limits in what we can do will be lifted.

So where do we go wrong in this,,,, We use the gifts to glorify us, without God, to the world and forget about where they came or who gave them to us.

The Gift becomes a mill stone around our neck. Give it back to God first and enjoy the heights that he will take you !!!!

I am convinced that there is a Bible verse that will answer and instruct you in any question you may have.  A verse, just for you, at any particular time in your life. A verse that will guide you through any situation and lead to the right path and right answer. A verse that will seem as though it is speaking only to you,,, and it will be !!

How do you find this special verse ,,,, you find Jesus. You believe in him and admit your sin, you ask him into your life and you start reading his word from his Bible.

At this point, the word begins speaking to your heart through the Holy Spirit,, because the word is already in your heart. Jesus is the key to open that vast love and wisdom that he has already put there. Now the verses of his word become the food your heart longs for.  It unlocks the joy and peace that can only come to a heart that has been rejoined to him.

You will be, finally, at home in your heart,  All else will become secondary !!!

I believe we all have a light inside,, that is shown outside.  It says in the Bible ,,,  let your light shine into the world.  This is the light given to all of us from the Lord God. So the question is ” Where does our light shine” ?? Will in most cases,, including me,, it shines in the mirror. Mirror you say ?? Yes Mirror- What happens when you shine a flashlight in a mirror,,, it shines right back on you. It highlights you,,, it emphasis you. So where does our light shine,,,, it shines to glorify us !!! So what does the Bible mean to let your light shine ???

Have you ever shined a flashlight into the darkness?? All of a sudden there is all kinds of stuff you didn’t see or realize was out there. It shows you the way and the dangers in the dark.

Can you have darkness and light,,,,, Absolutely not,,, you either have light or darkness !!!! So what does the Bible mean,,, let your light shine.  If you have God and Jesus in you life,,, you have a light that will light the darkness to all around you in the darkness of the world.

What is the purpose of a lighthouse,,, to alert to danger in the dark and show the way to safety. Your light from Jesus is the same. Find Jesus and let your light shine,,, you will be amazed of the response from a dark world !!!
