Signs

For Signs of the End Times please read the 

Gospels of Jesus Christ; Matthew chapt. 24 and Mark chapt 13.

Many discuss, even debate over when Jesus is going to take us home if we happen alive when "the catching away" of true Christians" happen. That discussion is usually in relation to the time-table of the "Great Tribulation".

Whenever that is we need to be ready to suffer persecution for Jesus sake as well as to be faithful when things are too easy! God looks for faithfulness.

And of course do not believe "date-setters" because Jesus in the Bible told us no one knows the day or hour of His return. Only our Heavenly Father knows!

We can look at the signs Jesus talked about in what Matthew and Mark wrote and know that perhaps we are close to it.

*******************************************

Read not this book in any case
but with a single eye:
(Matthew 6;22)

Read not but first desire God''s grace,
to understand thereby.
(Psalm 119:27, 73)

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 6:22

We need to have a single eye especially focussed on God's Word and serving Jesus Christ..
If we are living God's Word, experiencing Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, the way we should be then even in the difficult times there should be a joy way deep down in having this main focus of God's Word being our guideline with the Holy Spirit's help in our joyous serving of Jesus Christ, our God and Saviour!

Make me to understand ye way of thy precepts,
and I will meditate in thy wondrous works.
Psalm 119:27

Thine hands have made me and fashioned me:
give me understanding therefore,
that I may learn thy commandments.
Psalm 119:73

Jesus Answered these two verses,
He promised to send he Holy Spirit to help us, to comfort us, and to teach us of all things.
Jesus also promised to send the Holy Spirit to bring back to our remembrance all things which he said.
This is why it is important to study and read the Word so that the Holy Spirit can bring God's Word back to your remembrance
If you can't read very well then listen to the Word of God.



In conclusion here is how far we are in this very Biblical poem.

"Here is the spring where waters flow,
to quench our heat of sin:
Here is the tree where truth doth grow,
to lead our lives there in:
Here is the judge hat stints the strife,
when men's devices fail:
Here s the bread that feeds the life;
that death cannot assail.
The tidings of salvation dear,
comes to our ears from hence;
The fortress of our faith is here,
and shield of our defense,
Then be not like the hog that hath
a pearl at his desire,
And takes more pleasure in the trough
and wallowing in the mire.
Read not this book in any case
but with a single eye:
Read not but first desire God''s grace,
to understand thereby.."


Sincerely in Christ,
Pastor Bill

Geneva Bible verses are copied and pasted from:
http://www.genevabible.org/Geneva.html

God Loves you so much that ..........

For God so loved the world,
that He gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
John 3:16

God loved you so much that ...............

Jesus died on the Cross for you!

As it is written,
There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:10

For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 3:23

17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned:
John 3:17-18A

But God commendeth His love toward us,
in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8

For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23

Based on the Word of God, the Holy Bible we were all sinners before coming to Christ.
God made a way for us to be in right standing before Him, to be free of sin, free of guilt
and free of sin. God made a way for us to be Holy in His presence.

Jesus said of Himself,
I am the way,
the truth,
and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:6

Speaking of Jesus Christ Ephesians Chapter 1 verse 7 tells us of Jesus;
we have redemption through his blood,
the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.

Then Ephesians 2:13 reinforces this truth.
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off
are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

We can only come to God through Jesus Christ.

Repent ye therefore, and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out
Acts 3:19

Through the blood of Jesus Christ, our believing upon Him and repenting of our sins is how we become free from the bondage of sin, free from guilt and free from all spiritual and moral uncleanness. It does not matter what you have done Jesus bore all of our sins (our wrongs) upon the Cross and to prove that He had the power and authority to forgive us on the third day He, Jesus Christ,
the Saviour of the world, rose again.

He is alive! Jesus Christ is alive!

Some might think it is impossible to live as a Christian.
Here is what Jesus said in Mark 9:23;
If thou canst believe,
all things are possible to him that believeth.

So if you have not yet found forgiveness and freedom through Jesus Christ,
pray to Him today.
If you already know Him as your Lord and Saviour
or you just came to know Jesus right now
then thank Jesus for this and keep growing in Him.

You know what else?

Jesus is in Heaven praying for you!

Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him,
seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Hebrews 7:25

Intercession means praying and asking in our place for us.
The above verse tells us that Jesus is praying for us,
for you and me and that HE can save anyone.

Amen.
