The body of Christ is diverse. In America we are like a dysfunctional family separated by so many developmental differences,
as well as doctrinal disagreements.
It is strange to me why this is so prevalent when we are born again of the same Holy Spirit whose ministries, though diverse,
surely was to educate us with the truths Jesus would have us know for our edification.
Christ said we were to love one another with a love that was from our Father and Through His Son. The same love He received
from His Father we could have being born again by Him.
But we are carnal. We are ambitious. We still see through a glass darkly.
Would that His love could reign paramount in the motivations of our time here on earth and find it's way into a resounding
worldwide fellowship that transcends the worldly church so many have abandoned.
"THE LORD'S PRAYER" MP3
Salvation is guaranteed by Christ but not revival! First repentance then revival
His love, in He who gave His life for us, we aspire to reach, that in OUR LIFETIME, we might kiss this dawn of forever,
where love abides, through the slow extinction of the dead self we seek so badly for GOD to make disappear.
So that in trials, we rejoice in hardship, and see exposed, more of His glory, as we are filled with Him. For it is clear,
His grace is sufficient, in our weakness, when He can move in us, then when we are dead to Him in self.
Dearly beloved in Christ our Lord. Let us show kindness, one to another, looking out for each other's welfare according
to His word, in a manner not unbecoming a saint of God.
For none of us, by ourselves, could stand before the Holy One on that day of revelation of our life, clothed in our own garment
of unrighteousness, and hope to step into eternity by any means whatsoever.
For we were bought with the precious blood of God our Savior, that we, as aliens from GOD, could be redeemed from mankind
by His sacrifice, and delivered once and for all time for His glory according to the predetermination and divine will of GOD
our Father.
Let us live then, in the exercise of His love, one for another, being mindful that, but for the grace of He who saved us,
we too would be lost forever in the deadness of our sins that so easily entrap us, that He has delivered us from, into a
new and eternal life through Him.
We who are His Bride, the church, are a special love gift to our Lord from His Father, known before the world was
made. We are secure in Him. We will not be abandoned to suffer the judgments upon this lost world. It is not His way of loving.
Not a brides engagement gift of love! How foolish to read His word thus!
It is Israel and the lost world God our savior will deal with at the end of mans rule on earth. That is done in 7 years called
"The Great Tribulation", the latter half more deadly then the former. Don't listen to anyone who preaches the church will
be in God's wrath. Send them to me and I will deal with them. You are His pearl of great price; He gave His life for you.
He will not let you down. He will not abandon you to caves and starvation and deadly judgments He will send! Nor to the devil
in the Man of Sin.
LOOK UP YOUR REDEMPTION IS NEAR
To live "The Only Way", looking for Him (To Hear His Mighty Voice calling us home) is, indeed, a great Holy Spirit
blessing.
When I lived on and walked the streets of LA I got up in the morning and fell asleep at night that way. It was HE and me.
You see I stepped out in faith. I had nothing but Him, and I was rich beyond comparison. I shined in the power of the Spirit
of Him who sent me to the street. It was noticeable. From law to grace and a free ticket to eternal life through Him.
He blessed me for 6 years like this, totally relying on His grace to live everyday. He fed and clothed me. By His grace I
fed 80 homeless people a day, and the "rich, without money. It was beyond "Hollywood" and otherworldly. He gave me a taste
of Heaven on earth and the great delivering power of The Holy Spirit from the bondage of fear for my life, self-addiction
and even the devil himself. I was a made man in HIM.
Feast on the blessings He has given you. Recognize them and the fruits of His eternal security. You are blessed and the more
you get into it the wiser and stronger you become. Wisdom is to know Him and His real power to take you in His hand and make
you a new person, in a "strange land", where you are His ambassador, for His glory, not your gain!
HE IS YOUR BOSS. TAKE UP YOUR CROSS!
GLORY TO THE LORD, OH LORD, WE GIVE YOU THE GLORY!
HE IS COMING!

In "The Lord's Prayer" Jesus prayed
"...Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us..."
If we can't forgive, then we are in sin. That condition, if not corrected, breaks our fellowship with our FATHER until we
do so. Christ's intercessory ministry in Heaven, with His holy blood that cleans us daily, will have been sabotaged BY US.
And we will be in a continuing state of sin and loss of fellowship with HIM until we repent!
WITHOUT LOVE WHO ARE WE?
We are stranger's to each other. Yet we are meeting here. You say you were born again. I say so too. You say you have
come out of untruth to the real God and I say so too. I reach out but no one is there. What is the fear when one has God within?
Where is the strength in love, the joy in truth, and the walk of care and concern in a humble and contrite spirit?
Where is the room for growth through repentance? We sin daily. We are dirty daily. We are imperfect and need His blood to
keep us clean daily.
By whose authority do we parade around in scorn and reject those who come to our door in the Holy name of Messiah?
GOD surely has a sign for us that will indicate we are His...and it is not form or rejection, it is LOVE.
Without that there is NO indication that the Holy Spirit is present in the life of such a person no matter what they say.

THE TRA LA LA
You can't overcome yourself!
You don't have the power!
Can you overcome death?
Can you stop the rain or cause the moon to stand still?
You, me, everyone, can we be more then we are?
Can any of us keep ALL the law of Moses?
Can we?
We sin in our heart, if not with our tongue,
Our eyes, our body or mind.
Can we breath life into our dead spirit?
Can we really love without self reward, without merit, feeling,
Giving our life for a stranger?
Why are you disturbed?
We are all the same.
All of us are good for nothing
To God and each other...unless...
WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN!
NOT from sex,
Not from thrill,
Nor money,
Not drugs,
Nor woman or man,
From SPIRIT AND THE WORD.
BY HIM WHO DELIVERS FROM DEATH
WHO IS THE TRUTH
NOW AND FOREVER
BY HIM WHO DIED FOR THE WORST OF US
WHO FORGIVES
AND PLEADS HIS BLOOD
RIGHT NOW FOR US
ALL OF US WHO ACCEPT
WE ARE DEAD

MEMBERS OF AA, OTHER CULTS, CHRISTIANS IN BATTLE,
GOD IS ALMIGHTY. GOD IS NOT A HIGHER POWER. ANGELS ARE. SOME FELL WITH SATAN AND SEEK WORSHIP. THEY ARE HIGHER POWERS IN ALL
DIFFERENT MANIFESTATIONS IN THE AIR AND ON THE EARTH.THEY CAN DO WHAT APPEARS AS MIRACLES, GET YOU OFF DRUGS THEY GOT YOU
ON, STUN YOU WITH "WONDERS". THEY WILL NEVER SAY IN GOOD FAITH "JESUS CHRIST IS LORD AND SAVIOR!"
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Eph.6:12).
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you"(Isa.43:2).
"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU THEN HE THAT IS IN
THE WORLD"(1John 4:4).
THE PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR
He is no myth (Gen.3:1; Mt.4:8-11). Powerful, deceptive, having great guile, most subtle, a tempter, a liar, a murderer,
most beautiful, having the power of death and destruction under God, and can appear as an angel of light (2Cor.11:14) and
fool the very elect if that were possible (Rom.5:12-14; 1Cor.5:5; 1Tim.3:6-7; Heb.2:14; 1Tim.4:1-3; Mt.13:25,28,41; Acts16:16,18;
2Th.2:9). His "I will" marks the introduction of sin into the universe (Isa.14:13). He can manifest through a human form by
possession (Ezek.28:11-19; Isa.14:12-17). He is the Christian's worst adversary and the god of this world and prince of the
power of the air (Jn.12:31; 14:30; 16:11; 1Pet.5:8; Eph.2:2;6:12-20; Jas.4:7). He can influence carnal and self-confident
believers and take them at will, but cannot enter them yet may cause physical and other problems if God permits. He is the
accuser of the brethren. Christ's blood keeps us clean (Job 1;1-22; Acts 5:3; 1Cor.5:5; 2Cor.11:3;12:7; 1Tim.1:20; 2Tim.2:26;
Lk.22:31-32). The Lord keeps us in faith (Lk.22:31-32; 1Jn.2:1). The weapon of a believer is the whole armor of God (Eph.6:11).
Satan, and his gang of fallen angels, called demons, can take full control of non-believers (Eph.2:2; Rev.13:8; Jn.8:44; Mt.8:28-29;
9:33;10:1; 12:43-45; Acts 8:7). He rules the kingdoms of this world and is the power and mastermind behind the world systems
(Eph.2:2; Mt.7:22-23; Jn.13:2; 2Cor.4:4; IJn.3:10; Jn.8:44). His presence weakens the nations (Isa.14:12-17) and, one day,
he will be cast down from heaven by The Archangel Michael, and take control of the leader of the revived Roman Empire to face
off with The Lord and His angels at the conclusion of the great tribulation (Isa.14:12-17; 66:15; Lk.10:18; Rev.12:7-12).
He will be the final incarnation of the anti-christ. He will be bound for a 1000 years during the millennium after which he
will be let go for a little while to cause an insurrection that will be ultimately defeated by The Word of God who is none
other then Jesus Christ (Rev.20:2-3,7-10). After this he will be cast into the lake of fire, his final doom. The notion he
reigns in hell is NOT biblical. Those who reject Jesus will spend eternity with him! That is tragic! (Rev.20:10;11-15).
There will be a "church" in the world during the Tribulation but it won't be Spirit filled believer's
Anyone who says the Lord can't call us home this very second is in grave error or a bold faced liar.
RAPTURE BEFORE TRIBULATION
What Is The Proof In Scripture And The Word ?
THE LORD HIMSELF SAID TO THE TRUE CHURCH
"Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you out of the hour of trial, which is to come upon the whole
world to test them that dwell upon the earth" (Rev.3:10).
FURTHERMORE
(1) We are told by Christ our redemption can be at any moment and to look for Him. Thus if we think He can come after the
start of the tribulation we will look for it and for the man of sin to appear. That would be in direct contradiction to standing
ready in the now moment for Jesus to call us home. (1Thess.4:13-18; Titus 2:13)
(2) The bride of Christ is not appointed to wrath and it is Christ who sends the judgments on the earth! Scripture is clear.
(1Thess. 5:9; Rev.5:5).
Luke 21:36 is insightful as well. Here the Lord says to the church:
"Watch ye therefore,and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass,
and to stand before the Son of man".
The tribulation is a time of judgment and those who are in Christ are not subject to that fate. Those who dwell upon Earth
at this time are Rev.3:10.
More evidence in 11Pet.2:9, when the Lord says to us: "The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation..." And in
Rom.5:9"...we shall be saved from wrath through him".
Until this time of "grace" is over the Holy Spirit restrains evil in the world. The church is the corporate vessel that The
Spirit indwells. Once the church is removed from the earth evil will have its full day called "The Day of The Lord". It is
called this because the Lord is suddenly acting on the earth in judgment. It is the darkest time in human history (1 Thess.5:2-3).
These times and seasons are not for the church (1 Thess.5:1).
The church is not in darkness. We are in the light (1 Thess.5:4-5).
We are to comfort one another with these truths (1 Thess.5:11).
These things cannot happen until the true church is removed from the earth (2 Thess.2:1-12).
(3) The Spirit's outreach to the world during the tribulation is through 144,000 Jews who preach the "gospel of the kingdom"
and a mighty angel who preaches the "Everlasting Gospel" which means God's judgment is at hand.
They require a seal in their foreheads.
If they were the true church they would not need a seal; they would have the power of the Holy Spirit.
(4) No man knows the time when Christ will call the church up. According to scripture it can be at any moment. We are to serve
in this sure hope we live by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Titus 2:13; Rev.22:12; 1Cor.15:51-52; Phil.3:20)
(5) Remember that the hero's of the tribulation are Jew's and their gentile converts. The apostate church is in power and
in bed with political anti-christ..
(6) Take note that in Rev.4:4 we see 24 church elders in heaven with crowns of gold BEFORE the tribulation begins. These church
elders are seen up in heaven with others of the church being prepared for the marriage ceremony to the Lord while these tragic
events are happening. Scripture is clear: The church will be raptured before the tribulation.
(7) A good comparison in God's love and provision in the Old Testament is Noah and Lot. Noah was provided safety from the
flood. Lot was removed from Sodom before God destroyed it. The church will be delivered by Jesus Christ ( Gen.6:3).
(8) In Revelation 7:13-14 John is asked a question by an elder (church designation) as to who this great multitude is that
are arrayed in white robes and where did they come from?
John did not recognize them as the church, a group he would have a familiarity with and he says to the elder "you know". Then
he is told they have come out of great tribulation and made their robes white by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus). Obviously
this group are tribulation saints and not the church (Jn.10:16).
(9) Furthermore this group is seen in Heaven serving God in His temple. Note that this is the manner in which the Jews worship.
There is no doubt: the church is with Jesus before the tribulation and is followed up by the tribulation saints (Rev.7:15).
FINALLY OUR LORD TOLD US "DON'T LET YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED..."John 14:1
DEPEND ON CHRIST TO PROTECT HIS BRIDE AND BE FAITHFUL TO HER TO DO WHAT HE HAS PROMISED
WE ARE HIS AND HE WILL DO RIGHT BY US
A CHURCH WITHOUT SIN IS DEAD
"Don't let your heart be troubled..." is the wonderful and soothing word's of our
Lord in John 14:1-3. He also tells us, as we read other verses our Savior gave through the Holy Spirit, that we will have
troubles (tribulations) but He is always with us, by the abiding ministry of God The Spirit, to insure that, NO MATTER WHAT,
we shall overcome through Him.
There are times Satan is allowed to buffet us for our education and growth in Christ. Remember JOB. See in Chap 1 how Satan
has an audience before God our Father! This has not stopped yet. It will, at the start of the "Tribulation", when Michael,
the archangel, boots him out of the heavens and he lands on earth to indwell the anti-christ according to the word of the
Lord.
So though he makes accusations against us, WHICH ARE TRUE, Christ remains our High Priest and by His blood we are never charged
with this sin in God's "Book of Life". Our salvation is ALWAYS secure in Jesus! HE keeps us saved, NOT we!
Now, the brethren must grow up and we can't really say who is and who isn't saved. God will make that determination at the
proper time.As leaders, in the capacity the Holy Spirit gives to us, we must be good examples.
For instance, we must NOT shirk our responsibility to deliver a message of "REPENTANCE". This is mandatory to GROWTH! Why?
For all the biblical truths to support growth we must COME TO TERMS WITH OUR DEAD NATURE. We must understand the Lord's teachings
in full so we can GROW. Sin manifested in our daily life is a tutorial!
For instance:
1.We are reminded of our need for cleansing by Christ's blood daily
2.Our prayer need, to our Father daily, confessing our sins and thanking Him for Jesus who IS PLEADING HIS CLEANSING BLOOD
at all times for us.
THE MAN IN THE GLORY
"He shines like a billion suns ablaze
No nighttime in his countenance to see
A more than brilliant face has he.
His clothing is luminescent pure
His hair on fire golden white
And angels minister to him in flight.
He is the Savior of all the world
A plan his Father saw fit to unveil
And intercedes by our days and nights
So the death of sin cannot have might.
His chamber high above the earth
The blood of his an eternal worth
Set out before the alter pure
God the Father forgives for sure.
He is our High Priest
Keeping those of us he owns.
In Christ there is only victory
And we the victors just through him".
3.By this we have a greater depth of understanding of the deep and abiding substance of Christ's completed work on our behalf
and how HE KEEPS US FOREVER. Our love will increase. Our recognition of the many facets and stages of the breath and depth
of SALVATION. WE ARE SAVED, ARE BEING KEPT SAVED, AND WILL BE FOREVER. THIS IS REAL SECURITY!
4.We will grow in tolerance of others in Christ. Our sins will be the ELIXIR of understanding and the tutorial for growth.
5. A church WITHOUT sin is DEAD!
6.Faith will increase accordingly.
7. We will have taken what appears to inhibit our walk and make it work for us. As a consequence, we will grow in all the
attributes that show us more in conformity to our GREAT SAVIOR.
HE HEARS AND HE KNOWS WHAT WE NEED
Somehow God has His mighty hand throughout our lives. We are in His "Book of Life". He has a plan for us.
Dreams are unanswered, even prayer requests we believe are reasonable and "normal" for our human life and nature. We experience
disappointment. We leave faith aside and think God has abandoned us or is NOT giving us what we KNOW is right for us.
It has been an experience of mine on occasions and they have been severe. Some have been strange and not so emotionally debilitating.
Yet they meant something major in my life THEN and I went away puzzled and without understanding. But God had not abandoned
me nor did God ignore my plight.
St Paul had a few! There is a deeper meaning that , in retrospect, is happening we don't realize at the time. Sometimes we
don't catch up with God workings in our life till years later.
Paul said "I count it gain, my loss for Christ". He said that those things he left behind were like dung compared to the riches
he received in Christ Jesus in what he did receive BY FAITH.
I wanted Columbia Records. I had it in my grasp. God took it away in a most amazing way 2 times( I was very persistent as
you can imagine). Finally I stepped away and went to God full time. 23 years later He called me back into the studio and I
sang totally for His glory!Today it travels around the world FREELY like His Grace!
I had the the possibility of a big church podium and He gave me the street where I actually lived for 6 years! Still do a
street ministry. NO overhead! No compromise!
I had the law tied up in NYC, an eventual judgeship, and was "Who's Who" with a book on law that went worldwide and STILL
is 30 years later. He took me into nothing but the bible and I became "what's what!" in the world, but gained eternal life
through Jesus, not by law, but by grace.
He has a plan for you. Keep the faith and act powerfully for Him right where you are. These are the small steps you take until
you are ready for more revelation and a harder job for Him. EAT HIS BOOK. The Holy Spirit works through The Word.
By the way, he even brought me back from death to do what He has done for me and I am speechless at what He has given me late
in my life.
"My grace is sufficient" He told Paul, and, "My strength is made perfect in your weakness".
EARTH FOREVER
Rick;
Mt.13:36-43 explains Mt.24-30.
The Kingdom is the Millennium of 1000 years
At the end God transforms it by cleansing fire.
There is NO END of world OR life on earth.
If you believe, you will live forever on earth and about the galaxies.
John 14:1-3 makes clear Jesus will take out the church from the air.
He does NOT land on earth.
That is 1st part of 2nd coming.
The conclusion of it is on Armageddon day. He lands in Israel which is surrounded by all it's enemies.
He destroys them supernaturally.
Then He stays and rules the earth from Israel
Jerusalem becomes the capital of the world.
His purpose is to finally bring God's rebellious earth
into a state of God's rule.
Even then, at the end of 1000 years there is a rebellion and Satan is overcome and cast into the Lake of Fire with his fallen
angels and non believers from all time.
That is the second death.
DON'T BE TROUBLED
We who love our Lord anticipate that day we will be called up to meet Him in the air in fulfillment of His promise
recorded in John 14:1-3. Eternal life will be ours, and we will dwell in the house He has built for us forever, the "new Jerusalem".
This golden city Jesus has made is described in The Book of Revelation, chapters 21 and 22:1-5. Our departure is the event
we know of as "The Rapture" (1 Thess.4:13-18). If we should be in a state of "sleep" we will be first to go up followed by
those alive (1 Thess.4:16 ). We are told by the Holy Spirit, speaking through the apostle Paul, to "comfort one another with
these words" (1 Thess.4:18).
THE LORD HIMSELF SAID TO THE TRUE CHURCH:"Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you out of the hour
of trial, which is to come upon the whole world to test them that dwell upon the earth" (Rev.3:10).(THE DAY OF THE LORD)
Luke 21:36 is insightful as well. Here the Lord says to the church: "Watch ye therefore,and pray always, that you may be accounted
worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man".
More evidence in 11Pet.2:9, when the Lord says to us: "The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation..." And in
Rom.5:9"...we shall be saved from wrath through him".
There is little comfort for us if we believe, erroneously, that this event will occur during any part of the "Tribulation".
Scriptures makes clear that, though we won't know the exact time we will be called up, we can be sure it will precede this
most terrible time in the history of the world . We come to this conclusion after a thorough study of the entire bible in
the Spirit of Him who has clearly saved us from the wrath to come (1Thess. 5:9; Rev.5:5).
Why review this? Because I am certain many of the brethren are in error over these vital areas in scripture. I see it clearly
in so many shock videos on Youtube. There is a blending of God's program for the church age mistakenly with our Father's
plan for Israel according to the promises to their forefather's which God WILL honor. In so making this unintentional error
we see the church "IN" the Tribulation instead of Heaven and we fail to recognize God's time of Judgment called "the day of
the Lord " as a definite period assigned to the unbelieving world and a remnant out of all Israel who will eventually form
the Israel God will birth in one day according to old testament prophesy (Isaiah 66.8,15-16)
Think of the order of our God's plan. Israel, the nation, was set aside because of national unbelief. The church, a mystery
in the old testament, was called out by our Lord through the apostles and includes Jew and gentile. We are the witness since
Christ ascended. Once we are completed and gone,God will begin His mighty work on the planet of Judgment, and the calling
out of the believing remnant of Jew's being 144,000 according to Rev.Chap7. They are NOT of the church. The church age is
over. Though we will return with the Lord ,on Armageddon day, we are NOT on earth during the last 7 years when Christ Himself
is reigning down terrible judgments upon the planet.
Are we less likely to serve the Lord now knowing we will not be in wrath? God forbid. We serve our God day and night even
more knowing so many around us, and even our own flesh and blood, are not in the sheep fold now and risk eternal damnation
separated from God and us forever. The Holy Spirit is the active force behind our ministry. He will not sleep or relax. The
church must be completed. Who will bring in the "last Christian"? What an honor!

Spirit in you. And if you have any questions or other understandings let us go over them for the edification of the church

SALVATION IS FOR SINNERS ONLY
WE NEED THE BLOOD OF JESUS DAILY BECAUSE WE ARE FORGIVEN SINNERS
WE SIN BUT DON'T PRACTICE SINNING. WE ARE DIFFERENT
SEE THE BOOK OF 1 JOHN FOR A GREAT REVIEW.
1 John 1:8-10 "If we say we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."
1 John 2:1 "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with
the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous"
1 John 2:2 "And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."
Rom.8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after
the Spirit."
