MANY

NOT

READY

In our first message under the umbrella of Rapture Revival which was entitled Be Ready for the Rapture I did some prophesying by faith. Now again in this message I am also going to do some prophesying by faith. For that reason I want to do a little teaching on how to test prophecy or prophesying. I feel this is very important, I also feel it’s important because there are so many voices and teachings today.

How can we have a better sense of who and what to believe? How can we know if the message is from God or not? How can we test? 1 John 4:1 says "Do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are of God" (and here is why), because many false prophets; hear it MANY FALSE prophets have gone out into the world, so there are, or can be MANY false prophets or teachings that’s why we need to test.

1. Does the message exalt God or man? John 7:16 (NIV) reads "Jesus answered my teaching is not my own, it comes from him who sent me. If anyone chooses to do God’s will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. He who speaks on his own does so to gain honour for himself, but he who works for the honour of the one who sent him is a man of TRUTH there is nothing FALSE about him. So does the message honour God? Or man? He who speaks on his own does so to gain honour for himself.
2. Does it line up with the word of God? Isa. 8:20 if they speak not according to THIS WORD it is because there is no light in them. The message should line up with the word.

 

 

3. Does it come to pass? Do some of these prophetic words come to pass or happen? Does the word come to pass? Jer. 28:9 reads- "when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, THEN, THEN shall the prophet be KNOWN", be what? Be KNOWN! Then – when? When the word comes to pass! So do his words come to pass or happen? There’s a fearful example of this found in Jer.28: 16 Jeremiah was speaking to Hananiah, a false prophet. Hear what it says in the NIV Jer. 28:16 This is what the Lord says. "I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. This very year you are going to die because you have preached rebellion against the Lord." In the seventh month of the same year, the same year Hananiah the prophet DIED! That word came to pass. When the word of the prophet shall come to pass. THEN shall the prophet be KNOWN? See after that word came to pass they had a greater sense of KNOWING, I say again a greater sense of KNOWING that yes, Jeremiah was a true prophet from God. A true spokesman from God and for God. Keep in mind God has given these things as examples for us to use. There is another great example found in Jer. 32:6 I’m reading from the New King James Version here - I’ll just highlight Jer 32 verses 6 – 8. This is a very meaty portion of scripture. I exhort us to just swallow it up – you’ll love it! Jer.32: 6 – "and Jeremiah said – the word of the Lord came to me saying behold Hamameel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you saying – buy my field" –jump down to verse 8 – "then Hamameel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord and said to me please buy my field." so we see here that what Jeremiah spoke by the word of the Lord (CAME TO PASS) He said his uncles son would come and say buy my field and he did indeed come and say "Buy my field! Now here is the meaty portion, the last sentence in verse 8 "THEN I KNEW THAT THIS WAS THE WORD OF THE LORD." Remember our test? How do WE KNOW if a word is from God? How do WE KNOW the word of the Lord? That’s how, when it comes around again for the second time, like a merry go round, it comes around again. God speaks to us once and then he speaks it again; the second time to confirm it. How can WE KNOW the word of the Lord? Verse 8 – "THEN I KNEW". I KNEW that this was the word of the Lord. Another example would be; God speaks to us Tuesday at home that He’s coming soon. Then on Sunday the sermon says the same thing. It came to pass in our lives. We can know that, that it was God. Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.
4. How about this one? Deuteronomy 18:21 in the New King James reads "How shall WE KNOW – the word which the Lord has NOT spoken?" verse 22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord (here it is) if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken.

5. Then in Matthew’s gospel chapter 7 verse 15 where its talking about the true and false prophets it says beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep’s clothes – sheep’s clothing. In other words we can’t always judge, or know them by their appearance. False prophets come disguised! The word tells us in the next verse – 16 – you will know them by their fruits. You will -know them- by their fruit. Love, Joy, Peace….. You will know them by their fruits, not their appearance! Verse 20 – therefore by their fruits you will know –YOU WILL KNOW– you will know them. So what’s another way of KNOWING? FRUIT! So those are some of the tests we use to know, I say again TO KNOW if a word is from the Lord. Again, how shall WE KNOW if a message is from God? Notice the two words there WE KNOW – WE KNOW – that’s very important as you’ll soon see in the next verse; John 3:2 in the King James reads – "The same came to Jesus by night and said unto him, Rabbi WE KNOW (see that) WE KNOW that thou art a teacher, a teacher come from God for no man can do these miracles that thou doest except God be with him."
6. So miracles can be a way of KNOWING, although I realize some people are sceptical about that one! I realize that some might say miracles aren’t a good way of knowing because Satan can do miracles. Here is the key in how to test – the message or the messenger – Satan and or false prophets won’t pass all the tests at the same time. For example – He may do miracles but it doesn’t line up with the word, or God is not exalted, or there’s no fruit seen in that person’s life or it doesn’t come to pass. They have to pass all the tests! What I’m saying is the false prophet will not pass all the tests. We test the message with ALL the tests at the same time. The key is to use all the tests at the same time and then we’ll be on safe ground.

 

 

7. Another way of knowing is a sign. Mark 16:20 and they went forth and preached everywhere the Lord working with them and confirming the word with signs. We can have a greater sense of knowing as the word is confirmed with a sign! Then how about this one, in 1Sam. 3:19 They knew Samuel was a prophet (a spokesman for God) because God didn’t let his words fall empty. They came to pass – HIS WORDS. 1 Sam. 3: 19 – 20 So Samuel grew and the Lord was with him and let none of HIS WORDS – none of his words fall to the ground and all Israel from Dan to Beersheba KNEW (see that knew there) all Israel KNEW that Samuel was established as a prophet of the Lord. See God confirmed Samuel’s words, and all Israel KNEW that he was speaking from God. ie. A spokesman for God! God brought Samuel’s words to pass. Here’s more proof, in 1Sam. 9:6 it says of Samuel ALL that he sayeth – ALL that he sayeth cometh surely to pass. ALL that he said God brought it to pass. God has the power to bring words to pass. It is not difficult for Him. A good example of this is found in Gen. 41:32 speaking of Joseph and the dreams that God had given him, it reads – "the thing is established by God and God will shortly bring it to pass. God will bring it to pass!" He has the power to do that, also please notice the word SHORTLY in there, for I believe that this would apply to the message, which we are about to share. God will – God will SHORTLY bring it to pass! Finally, does the messenger have a confirmation of his message? The Bible says that a word is confirmed in the mouth of 2 or 3. Has his word been confirmed to him? (Can I say) The Lord has confirmed both messages on Rapture Revival, Be Ready for the Rapture and now this one entitled Many Not Ready. He has confirmed it so I exhort us to approach this message BELIEVING that it will soon come to pass, that it will truly happen! Don’t allow an ounce of doubt BUT BELIEVE it will come to pass. GOD WILL BRING IT TO PASS! Hear one last verse on this subject to set us up for the message, it’s a power verse and it so puts the icing on the cake. Ezekiel 12:25 "For I am the Lord, I speak and the word which I speak WILL COME TO PASS". Oh, hear and fear folks, the word which I speak will come to pass! How does he speak? Through his servants, then God simply brings it to pass. God will bring it to pass. "THE WORD WHICH I SPEAK WILL COME TO PASS!"

Now on to our second message under the umbrella of Rapture Revival - called "Many not Ready!" We are going to pick up where we left off in message #1 – Be Ready for the Rapture. Our main text was taken from Matthew 25: 10-12 It talks about being ready for when Jesus returns and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage and the door was shut. Afterward came also; notice that word there – afterward, please don’t say in your heart, afterwards I’ll seek God! After I’ll make time for him! The NIV translates this word as Later, and that’s also good! Don’t say later Lord! Later I’ll make time for Him. Later was too late for them! As it will be also for many in the future. Reading from verse 11 "Afterward came also the other virgins saying Lord Lord, open to us! But he answered and said verily I say unto you (this is important) I know you not." It’s important that God KNOWS US! The opposite is true also, it’s important that we KNOW GOD! To know someone we have to spend time with them, same with God. John 10:27 says "My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me". The point here is if we want God to say to us, I know them, we need to hear his voice and to hear his voice we need to spend time in that place of listening first at home and then at church. The two work together as we hear at home it is confirmed at church, then our faith grows in hearing His voice and we get to know God more and more. We can’t underline enough the importance of getting to know God and his voice. Thus God would NOT say to us "I know you NOT!" like he did in Matthew 25:12 listen closely this is important " He answered and said verily I say unto you I know you not" now catch the context here. Verse 10 while they went to buy the bridegroom came – the bridegroom came – Jesus came. Jesus promised in John 14:3 I will come again - I will come again. Jesus came like he said he would. The question is, will we be found ready? Will we be found as a people who know him? Will He say to us - I know you? or will He say – I know you NOT. Will there be oil in our lamps as we are constantly filling them with God, or will our lamps be found on empty? I strongly encourage us to spend time and energy seeking God. It will pay very high dividends. Sometimes we spend our time unwisely for example – a house. Don’t spend all your time and money on that house or mansion. Don’t put all your focus on that house, some yes but not all. It’s so short sighted. Here’s why – this is good! The scripture I read that said – I will come again is in a beautiful context John 14:2 "In my Fathers house are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again (I will come again) and receive you unto myself that were I am there ye may be also!" A home in heaven paid for forever – no payments. All we have to do is spend some time seeking and getting to know God, which is such a blessing in itself. That home will be forever. Don’t spend too much time on temporal things. Jesus is coming again SOON! Make that relationship with Him a priority. Seek ye FIRST and these things will be added. Don’t worry about your life. Spend time being ready and watching for his coming again. He that hath an ear let him hear what the spirit is saying to the churches. How about Revelations 22:7 NIV I am coming SOON – I am coming SOON! So we see 2 things here about His coming again, first He says, "I am coming again!" Second He says, "I am coming soon!" Then he gives us a picture of when He is coming. Matthew 24:3 Tell us when (WHEN) shall these things be and what shall be THE SIGN what shall be the sign of (here it is) of thy coming – what shall be the sign of THY COMING – and of the end of the world? So again we see the bible talking about the coming of the Lord. Matthew 24:4 and Jesus answered and said unto them, take heed that no man deceives you. For many (FOR MANY) shall come in my name saying I am Christ and shall deceive many, note those manys there, it will be significant later. Verse 7 For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in MANY places. All these are the beginnings of sorrows, notice it says this is just the beginning of what? sorrows. The living Bible paraphrases it like this: All this will be only the beginning of horrors to come. The Amplified reads like this: Verse 8 all this is but the beginning, the early pains of birth pang (who here likes pain?) The early pains of birth pangs – of THE INTOLERABLE ANGUISH! Please note there it says intolerable anguish, not tolerable but INTOLERABLE. Understand that this time which is coming upon us commonly known as the great tribulation at times will be INTOLERABLE. Verse 9 reads THEN they will hand you over to suffer (another exciting word SUFFER) affliction and tribulation AND put you TO DEATH. Fearful forecast isn’t it? It’s the word of God folks, it will come to pass, it will happen, and you will be hated by all nations for my namesake. (my names sake) Jesus name that is (Jesus name) persecuted for Jesus name. You won’t be hated and persecuted if you follow after those other names. The Living Bible says in verse 9 "Then you will be tortured and killed and hated over the world because you are mine." I want us to notice something about being hated. The Amplified reads; You will be hated by ALL nations for my names sake (for being a Christian that is ) notice it says hated by ALL nations – ALL nations! Christians aren’t hated in ALL nations yet! I repeat yet, we are hated in some nations, but not all nations yet! of course this is coming. This is coming soon to North America. ALL nations – the word of God will come to pass.

Let’s move to Matthew 24: 21 in the Amplified reads; For then there will be great tribulation-affliction – distress and oppression such has not been from the beginning of the world until now; no, and never will be again. I love the way the Living Bible says this, so simply and yet true. For there will be persecution such as the world has never before seen in all its history. Do you know what that means? That means that this time that is yet to come will be worse than anything (including the holocaust) that has been or ever will be again because it says - never before seen in all history and will never see again! Do we all see and realize that this time of trouble that is coming will be without a doubt the worst of the worst of the worst! The big one is yet to come! Daniel describes this time like this – Daniel 12:1 And there shall be a time of trouble (a time of TROUBLE) such as never was since there was a nation, - even to that time! So we can see that the darkest day in history is yet to come, and I say it’s coming soon! I declare it’s moving swiftly upon us. Can I just say here, if you believe the future is going to be better and brighter and happier and more peaceful – you’re dreaming. Remember the beginning of SORROWS – we’ve already begun that beginning of sorrows; bombings – Bosnia, families separated, children without parents, children watching their parents die before their eyes. North America, our children are being killed, raped, and tortured. This is great sorrow people are suffering. To you people who are suffering, so in sorrow on behalf of Gods people, I’d like to say – we care for you, we feel your pain and sorrow with you! We weep with you, we love you we pray for you! Please look to the Bible to understand and make sense of all this madness and insanity. It’s only the beginning folks. But there’s a way out – keep reading. So we see that tough times are ahead and we’ve only just BEGUN! Prophet of doom? Yes and No.

Mark 24:22 puts the icing on the cake, if those days had not been shortened no human being would endure and survive but for the sake of God’s chosen, those days will be shortened.

Allow me to share with you some things the Lord spoke to my heart of late. Firstly and most important let me just say I have a great love and burden to warn us of a great time of trouble which is coming. I’d encourage you to write this somewhere in your house and car!, especially these next 5 words. AUSCHWITZ AND WORSE IS COMING! The Lord just spoke that to my heart in such a way on April 19, 1996 I just feel that’s so powerful! Few words can say so much! Just let me say here regarding Auschwitz; what I’m saying here is in no way meant as a slight against Germany, or against the German people, neither is it a prediction against them. This time of persecution that is predicted could take place anywhere by any culture of people, yes it could even take place right here in North America. I’m just using Auschwitz as an example of horror that is in history, something we can all relate to. Besides my mother was German and I know I’m really part German because I love Mercedes Benz, BMWs, VW Jettas, not to mention, Barvarian sausages! Allow me to interject something here. I had no idea the movie Shiendlers List was about the holocaust until mid May, (a month after) the Lord spoke to my heart about Auschwitz and I noted this message down. I believe God knew and He’ll even use that movie to speak to people’s hearts. Remember I said, not only Auschwitz is coming but Auschwitz AND WORSE is coming! Folks the worst of the worst of the worst is coming! A few days after I finished this message on May 1^st I was looking over this part and the Lord spoke to my heart; some people don’t believe this part about being WORSE than Auschwitz. Tell them – BELIEVE IT! If you’re saying in your heart – you’re making people fear! I answer that by saying; rightly so, better a tear of fear now and possibly escape this coming horror rather than a year of fear later! Now then, later that day on April 19, 1996 the Lord spoke this to my heart. Great tribulation and persecution is coming for those who will not take the mark. Give them warning from me! Just a few weeks prior to this the Lord had spoke this word to me: Go and tell the nations to be ready and watching for My coming again!! For those who are not ready will be left behind to experience the great tribulation! Then on April 16, 1996 –write this down, its important- MANY WILL BE LEFT BEHIND! That is - Many who thought that they were going up in the rapture, many who thought that they were ready!

This next word I’m going to share, the Lord spoke to my heart back in September 1995 There is coming a great time of evil, a time of great tribulation and trouble, for those who are left behind! For those who are not ready! For those who are left behind, who is the time of trouble for? those who are not ready. God’s people and God’s church are not going to experience this great time of evil and tribulation. It will be for those who are left behind. It will be for those who were not ready. Those who really didn’t know God, the backsliders, the fallen away from God, THE RELIGIOUS PERSON! It will be for those who are left behind, remember the burden, many will be left behind! This falls in line with the scripture in Matthew 24– many false prophets shall rise and deceive many and because iniquity shall abound the love of many will grow cold. Luke 17:34-36 I tell you in that night there shall be two men in one bed, the one shall be taken and the other shall be LEFT. Hear it – LEFT! Two women shall be grinding together, the one shall be taken, and the other left. So far that’s (1 out of 2 left – MANY). Two men shall be in the field, the one shall be taken and the other LEFT! Many will be LEFT behind. Matthew 24:40 Listen closely to this powerful portion of scripture. Then – When? This is in context of the coming of the Lord. Then shall 2 be in the field, the one shall be taken and the other LEFT. Two women shall be grinding at the mill, the one shall be taken, and the other LEFT! Again, half the people Jesus was talking about were left behind. MANY will be left behind. Get this ONE word. BIG message. On May 2, 1996 I was driving by a church on my bus route. As I drove by I sensed the Lord speak to my heart one word – MANY! I only heard it once; I knew what He was referring to. Many will be left behind, many. If, that was God and I believe it was,
He said a lot with only one word, given where he said it. Right in front of a big church building. The building is great but not without a relationship with God. A relationship with God is so important! Make sure you have a relationship with Him, not just religion. Religion wont save you, relationship will. That relationship with God, not religion, will save you when the times get tough and you’ll not be left behind. For many will be left behind! If you have a hard time believing this MANY stuff, hear this next verse. I’ll prove it to you. Luke 13:23 Lord are there few who are saved? He said unto them. Strive to enter through the narrow gate. Here it is – for many see it – for MANY, MANY will seek to enter in and will not be able. When once the master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door saying Lord, Lord. (See where they’re calling him Lord, Lord,) this is very, very important. They are calling him Lord, Lord because they must have thought that they knew Him! That’s the religious person there, saying Lord, Lord open for us, and He will answer and say to them, I do not know you. MANY WILL BE left behind!

Now we were looking at Matthew 24:40 where it reads – then shall 2 be in the field, the one shall be taken and the other – WHAT? – LEFT! I want us to see the context. Matthew 24:37 "As the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be." How were the days of Noah? People didn’t listen or believe God or his messengers. Also, I believe they were too preoccupied with their own lives, families etc. Verse 38 "For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark." Here it is – and knew not (and knew not) UNTIL the flood came. There was that element of surprise, all of a sudden just happening! No warning! At the rapture again scripture will repeat itself. It will happen that way again. UNEXPECTANTLY! And they knew not until the flood came and took them all away, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. They won’t know UNTIL it’s happened! That’s why we need to do all we can to warn the people now of what is SOON to come! If we care, if we love them, if we really believe it is soon going to happen. Hear – how the Living Bible paraphrases these 2 verses – Matthew 24: 37-38 "The world will be at ease – banquets and parties (that’s the world today) "Let’s party and weddings just as it was in Noah’s time" before the SUDDEN coming of the flood; people wouldn’t believe (I repeat) people wouldn’t believe what was going to happen. Allow me to repeat that one more time, for I believe it so fits our society today! People wouldn’t believe what was going to happen until the flood actually arrived and took them all away. SO shall my coming BE! So shall my coming be! People just don’t believe, listen, or trust God’s messengers or their message. Of course we know and realize that Satan has had a lot of scheming in this area to thwart the messengers of God. The preachers that is! To make them look bad and untrustworthy!

We are about two thirds of the way through our message now and here is the main point to be focused on! Again the Living Bible "so be prepared" so be prepared church. So be prepared for you don’t know what day your Lord is coming! Just as a man can prevent trouble from thieves by keeping watch for them, so you can avoid TROUBLE. Remember earlier we talked about a great time of trouble that is coming! So you can avoid TROUBLE BY (here it is now) So you can avoid trouble by always being ready –for my unannounced return. How can we always be ready? Making sure we spend some quality time with God. Reading His Word, praying, going to His house, because we want to, not because we have to! Lets look at these verses in the King James. There are two – therefore’s here – I want us to see clearly because I believe they are the most important parts of this portion of scripture. I want to highlight them if you will!

First let me summarise the message.

1. We see Jesus said I will come again and he gives us some hints of when!
2. After his return there will be a great time of evil, a great time of tribulation and persecution, worse than any other time in history! Auschwitz and worse is coming! Hear it people – hear it. Auschwitz and worse is coming! It is coming. It is coming, believe it – it is coming. But, you don’t have to be here! Keep reading!
3. The rapture will happen suddenly and unexpectedly! Luke 21:34 NIV "That day will close in on you UNEXPECTANTLY like a trap. It will come upon all those who live on THE WHOLE EARTH. There is no place to run to. Be always on the watch and pray; and pray; and pray. Prayer is important; we need to be in prayer about all this.

This is just my opinion here, but I believe somehow in my heart the people that are going up will be people of prayer. The opposite is true also; the people who aren’t people of prayer will be left behind. That’s just my general opinion there. So be people of prayer. Be always on the watch and pray that you will be able TO ESCAPE all that is about to happen! I like the way this verse is worded in the King James Version "Pray always, (pray always) that ye may be accounted WORTHY, to escape all these things. Well, does that mean I could be accounted unworthy to escape all these things? Allow me to remind you of the burden the Lord put on my heart in the message – Be Ready For The Rapture! The people will be caught with no way of escape! Then in this message the Lord put on my heart – many will be left behind! Now that was my summary, on to the two therefore’s that need to be highlighted. In the King James Version, which I believe is somehow worded the best, Matthew 24:42 "I say all that message, to say this". Verse 42 – "Watch therefore (there is the first one) for ye know not the hour;" (ye know not the hour – we will never KNOW the hour). People who say they know the hour are against scripture; ye know not the hour your Lord doth come. Doth come, I like that come there. The second therefore in verse 44 "Therefore be ye also ready" Oh hear it church. Be ye also READY for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh. It is so important to be ready! Allow me please to run a word of prophecy by you again. The Lord spoke to my heart on April 4, 1996 – Go and tell the nations to be ready, to be ready and watching for my coming again. For those who are not ready will be left behind to experience the great tribulation. Those who are not ready will be left behind to experience Auschwitz and worse. Are you ready? Do you think maybe there is a slight chance you’d be left behind? If your not sure, come to God today and ask him to help you to be ready for His coming again. One of the best ways we can be ready is to spend time with Him getting to know Him, getting to know His voice. Matthew 25:10 "They that were READY went in with him and the door was shut." Verse 12 "He answered and said, I know you not." That’s a key there. They didn’t know God! At the last minute when it was too late they said, I want to know you Lord – I want to know you. It was too late He answered, I knew you not The Living Bible reads "It was too late". Get to know God now, seek Him, don’t be foolish, be wise because it says here in these verses, verse 2, five were wise and five were foolish. Don’t waste your time and energy on foolish things, which amount to nothing. Be wise, spend time with God, get to KNOW Him! Be ready and watching for His coming again. Verse 13 "Watch therefore (see again He says that therefore stuff) watch therefore for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh." So because we don’t KNOW the hour or day, God says to be ready, get to know Him and watch. Can I say a little something here about, watch. What do we usually spend a lot of time watching? The tele, right? Can I exhort us, spend a little less time on the tele – eye watch; and a little more time on the twinkling of an eye watch! Watching has to do with praying. Mark 14:37 "Couldest not thou watch one hour?" Watch ye and pray, and pray lest ye enter into temptation. One of the best ways to deal with temptation is to spend time in prayer. Watch and pray, knowing that right before the rapture the tempter will come to draw us away by tempting us over and over again to follow after sin.

The Living Bible, Matthew 24:10 (notice the number of times the word many is used) "Many of you shall fall back into sin! Many false prophets will appear and lead many astray. Sin will be rampant everywhere and will cool the love of many." Many will be affected by SIN. That’s where a strong relationship with God will prove WISE, very wise. Sin will cool the love of many, remember I shared, many will be left behind. See one of the reasons many will be left behind is because they will be sucked in by sin. Sin and the power of it will affect many. Can I say here – the best way to attack sin and its power is the power of the Word and prayer. Watch and pray lest ye enter into temptation. Lastly – very lastly – regarding this message and the warning of it; Auschwitz and worse is coming; a few hours after the Lord put that on my heart I was thinking in my heart, isn’t this maybe a little far fetched? Almost immediately I sensed the Lord say "It’s not far fetched" It went like this over a few hours.

1. Auschwitz and worse is coming.
2. Great tribulation and persecution is coming for those who will not take the mark.
3. Give them warning for me.
4. It’s not far fetched.

So I ask you will you support us prayerfully or any other way you can; so that we can get this message out - to the nations, so that we can warn the nations to be ready and watching for the coming of the Lord.

When we ask for support to do this I must qualify it with this:

1. Love must be our motivator to support and to do. We must have a burden of love and be moved by love. 1 Cor. 13 talks about if we do things without love it profits NOTHING! We must be moved by love. The Christian life and walk has love at the very core.
2. Are you saying yes I want to DO something? Matthew 24: 45-46 in the New King James "Who then is a faithful and wise servant who his master made ruler over his household, to give them FOOD in due season" Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes will find so doing. DOING! I believe we’ll be blessed as we are DOING this thing. Notice here when he is doing it, that’s important. The Old King James Version reads "Blessed is that servant whom his Lord when he cometh, shall find so doing." When he cometh, when the Lord comes we are to be doing this feeding and warning and teaching.

Will you help us to do it. Blessed is that servant. When you’re supporting the message that’s as good as you’re doing it. You’ll be blessed! As we are doing this thing, as our Lord returns – we’ll be blessed! I count it a great privilege that the Lord would put such a message on my heart. I hope and pray that you too would count it a great blessing and privilege to share these messages about (the coming of the Lord) with many people in many nations. That they might be warned to be ready and watching for the coming of the Lord for those who are not ready will be left behind to experience Auschwitz and worse. Again I just want to repeat what I said about Auschwitz. I’m just using it as an example in history. Something we can all relate to very quickly. I’m in no way making a slight against any culture of people. For we are all basically the same you know – we have a sinful nature. Culture is not the problem, sin is. The only solution to sin is Jesus Christ. Will you turn to Him today? Will you seek Him? Will you watch for His coming again? Will you be prepared and ready when He comes again? If we are not ready we will be left behind to experience Auschwitz and worse! Allow me to remind us of Isa. 55:11 "His word shall not return void." It will not return empty. It will come to pass especially this part about a time of great persecution and Auschwitz. Remember Eze. 12:25 "The word which I speak will come to pass." God will bring it to pass. His word shall not return void. One will be taken and one will be left. Which one will you be? My prayer and burden is that you will be the one taken to be forever with the Lord! For many will be left behind. Many will not be ready. Many will not be ready because they had religion and not a relationship with God and His Word. Many will not be ready because they had a weak relationship with God and His Word and when the streams of sin really begin to flow, they will be swept away by the flood of sin! Many will not be ready! And we are back to our title.

"Many, Not Ready!"
