My sense of urgency or why I write the way I do!

Why I have a sense of Urgency
Of those of you who may read my writings and thoughts may find some of them a bit harsh or in your face kind of stuff. Well I write in such a manner due to a sense of urgency that God has placed in my soul about the way this nation and in fact the way this world seems to headed faster and faster into of what God's Word tells us how,what and why things are going the way and it also tells us of how God sent His Son Jesus Christ to bring Salvation and Hope to the whole human race.

So today I will tell you why I needed Jesus Christ and how He has changed my life.

I was a sinner in a big way.I decided that I knew best and that I was safe from judgement or hell itself because I had followed a path that was spiritual but it wasn't Godly. I was involved in things that I felt that I controlled but in fact I had no control at all. For in my teen years I jumped into drugs and when I joined the Army I found out that I could immerse myself into more drugs,porn,and drinking and then I embraced the occult in a way that eventually consumed me body,mind but not my soul. Little did I know then but I know now God had a plan and He waited for me and many times over my youth from time to time Christian folks would speak into my life asking me "The Question" "Do you know Jesus?" I would say yes but when they asked me deeper questions I would make excuses or mumble something but most times I ran. Yes I ran. I look back now and laugh about it but at the time inside me I was in turmoil. When I found Jesus I still kept a part of me away from Him. I figured that I knew best. Yes I studied God's Word and I changed my ways and I embraced Jesus and learned much but I knew a part of me wasn't totally committed for Christ Jesus. God had a plan,His Holy Spirit worked with me and as the Master Potter worked the clay that was me I begin to understand,grow in Christ and as life moved forward and as I reached my deepest,lowest point I cried out to Jesus, in fact the song by Third Day "Cry Out for Jesus" touched my soul and made me realize that that part of me that I kept from God was now broken and ready for the Potter to mold into His plan. So I told Jesus in my prayers that I was done with my life and that if He didn't have something for me to do that I wanted to go home to Heaven. As I prayed on the third night I knew my prayers had been heard because everything changed that night because since that night in Nov.2010 I surrendered my whole life to Jesus and I told Him that I was His till my last breath was breathed and I now have a sense of urgency about Jesus Christ and with the Holy Spirit's Guidance I have in me a passion in me to shake up the ones that read my stuff and to tell as many as possible that this world is being deceived and many Christians are not getting it right. The devil has convinced many that Jesus is coming back to "Rapture" His church and that many more doctrines that are wrong. So that's why I write the way I do because none of us know when Jesus Christ will return for Judgement and when He returns the door will be closed for anyone else to be Saved. Jesus has given each of us some gift that He wants us to share and to spread why He came to this world and that He is the Giver of Life and the Life Jesus gives is Everlasting. So if you have read this it is a short version of how Awesome the Love of Jesus is and how much He wants all mankind to be saved, Give your life to Jesus Christ and surrender yourself  to the One who made you. Time IS short so don't waste it!

Trouble brewing?

How many of you can look around and marvel at the leaps and bounds that we as mankind have come from since the Wright Brothers launch into aviation history to now. It makes me sad to observe the current ways  of those followers of Jesus Christ who are wandering in spiritual dryness,and those same folks how they latch on to anything that comes down the pike that even remotely has a bit of spiritual to it.
This has and is leading many away from the real,solid truth that is available to all of us via God's Word. I say this because Laura and I are witnessing many churches and denominations going away from the bible and embracing other doctrines. It grieves us and I hope it grieves others.
We as the Body of Christ must stop this abandonment from the Way and the Truth and the Life Jesus Christ who has spoken,taught and died so we can have Life...Eternal Life with Him someday. What am I speaking of? What I am speaking about is the infection of books written by people who are deceiving Christians with stories of  false hope,false peace and false ideas like we as Christians are not going to be here when Jesus comes back to judge,that we will be "taken up" before all that happens.
Read Matthew 24 verse 29-30
Matt 24:29 “Immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken.
Matt 24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man arriving on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

 Look at the first word in this verse. Immediately/at once after tribulation not a day or even a hour but right away.

Read 1 Thess 4:16-17 

1Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

1Thess 4:17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.

Jesus doesn't return quietly or secretly but in a way that ALL the earth's people will see Him and the sound of the trump gives us a time frame.

Read Rev 11:15-19 

Rev 11:15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.”

Rev 11:16 And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,

Rev 11:17 saying, “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, for you have taken your great power and begun to reign. 

Rev 11:18 ​​​​​​​​The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.” 

Rev 11:19 Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail. 

At the last trump Jesus returns with all His Glory and Power and Jesus comes to judge.

Now look at 2 Peter 3:10-12

2Pet 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; when it comes, the heavens will disappear with a horrific noise, and the celestial bodies will melt away in a blaze, and the earth and every deed done on it will be laid bare.

2Pet 3:11 Since all these things are to melt away in this manner, what sort of people must we be, conducting our lives in holiness and godliness,

2Pet 3:12 while waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God? Because of this day, the heavens will be burned up and dissolve, and the celestial bodies will melt away in a blaze!

Now the Day of the Lord will come upon the righteous and the wicked just as the rain falls on both of them now.I know that many have been taught for years that Rapture will happen yes it will right before Jesus Christ returns to judge all nations and all people.  And as long as the devil can keep this lie going that rapture will happen and then everyone will have a second chance to become a follower of Jesus,all I can say is dig and study with the Holy Spirit by your side and be as the Bereans. Learn the Truth and understand the depth of this and get yourself right with Jesus Christ because once He returns your chance is over with and when Jesus comes you or I haven't got a clue so as you can still breath ask Jesus into your life and get yourself to a Bible and start reading the Gospel of John it is a great place to start and it explains very well Who,what and why Jesus did what He did for all of mankind.Also let someone know about your decision for Christ.

Raptured,Revealed,Renewal.Relucent,Remorse,Repentance,Replaced

Look at the many words that I have so far see and hear about what is wrong with our nations "Christian Churches." Time after time these words are used and pleaded to God in prayers,thoughts and comments on FB and on the radio.TV,Internet basically everywhere. So as I ponder on these words and pray to God for insight and wisdom I get the story told in Jeremiah 18:1-12 of the Potter and the Clay.
I see so many churches changing into what is spoken about in the bible and I see people also changing into again as God has written in the bible. We are the clay and have any of you heard the clay tell the potter in what form he should form the clay into? NO! So here on earth we the clay are telling God what we want,when we want it,why we what it.
The simple fact is this all the clamouring and frenzy that gets frothed up each Sunday by many churches, and by the many posts and articles on FB that tell us that we are needing a move of God's Holy Spirit RIGHT NOW! but they are forgetting or omitting a major point which is this; GOD is SOVEREIGN 100% all the time,We don't get the big picture because we can't understand God's Infinite ways with our Finite minds.
Without a total and complete REPENTANCE and SURRENDER to Jesus Christ by those who calling themselves "Christian." Those who smile and look right thru you,or those whose Fruits don't line up with what God's Word tells us what the Fruits of the Holy Spirit are and how we are to be like in Galatians 5:22-25. We must always be like the clay. Ready for the Master Potter's Hands to form us and mold us into whatever sort of vessel that He needs,Then be open in surrender to Jesus Christ letting Christ reign in your life, and to depend on the Holy Spirit for your deeper understanding of God's Word.
But here's one more thought and this is one of my favorite verses:
Rom 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Lastly let not one tell you that there are many ways to get to Heaven! Guess what Jesus spoke about that also,And I will give you a clue its in the Bible. God's Word is filled with wisdom, and knowledge and how to live in Christ Jesus,how to have a personal,intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. How can I say these things? I am not only a believer in Jesus but I am also a follower of the Lord and Saviour,The Messiah,Jesus Christ.Pax Carl

More on the Prodigal Son

Come Out of the Pig Pen - Ron Graham -www.straitandnarrowministry.com Most of us know the parable of the Prodigal Son. It is recorded in Luke chapter 15 and usually we focus on the son who squanders his inheritance. "And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living." Luke 15:12. An inheritance was usually given after the death of the father, but occasionally he would divide the inheritance prior to his own death because of ill health or if he wanted to retire. In this case, there were two sons and the older would have inherited two thirds of the father's wealth and the younger son would have inherited one third. Both sons were given their inheritance. The younger son was restless and thought life was better somewhere else, so off he went to a chase a dream that turned into a nightmare. Not only did he leave town, but he left the country. Just as we think that we can hide from God, this son thought he could get far enough away from his father that his sinful life would be hidden. "And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living." Luke 15:13. He made a choice. In hindsight it was a bad choice, but a choice made of his own free will. He was prodigal. Some of the synonyms for prodigal are: wasteful, reckless, extravagant, and uncontrolled. We aren't given a detailed description of what the "riotous living" was, but it isn't hard to imagine. In writing to the Corinthian Christians who were returning to their pagan ways by accepting and participating in willful sin, Paul said "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. As Christians we need be sure that we aren't joining the prodigal son in his riotous ways by embracing any of the above sins either by participating in or condoning them. As time went on things went from bad to worse. There came a famine. His money was gone, his friends were gone, and he was in need. He decided to get a job which seems like a good choice, but where did he find employment? "And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine." Luke 15:15. It was a job, but for a Jew this was completely against God's Laws. This son "joined himself to a citizen". Not only had he squandered his wealth and lived a wild life, but now by joining himself to a non-Jew he was rejecting God's ways. How do we know that? Because now he was feeding swine. This was abdominal for a Jew to do."And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you." Leviticus 11:7-8. Not only did this prodigal feed the swine but even their food began to look good to him. "And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him." Luke 15:16. This certainly wasn't kosher! His friends were fair weather friends and they only used this young man until he was no longer able to support their way of life. When his money was gone, so were his friends and they left him to starve, and now he was feeding swine. This young man had hit rock bottom. You can almost hear the gasp from the Pharisees among the listeners. They were very smug about their own self-perceived righteousness. They would have been sure that Jesus would finish the parable by telling what punishment God sent upon the prodigal. They were blind to the fact that the Man telling this parable was God Himself; the long awaited Messiah who told Nicodemus "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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." John 3:16-17. Jesus did not leave this young man in the pig pen. "And when he came to himself, he said, "How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!" Luke 15:17. It took the loss of all he had for him to realize that life with his father wasn't so bad. Through experience he found out for himself that the ways of his father were far above the ways of the world. The young man didn't need any self-help book to show him the solution to his problem. He had caused his own problems by compromising what was right and the solution was to humbly return home to his father. "I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants." Luke 15:18-19. Do you think that was easy? Pride would have dictated that he defend his actions no matter what. After all, it was his own life and he had the right to live as he pleased. As it turned out, the life he chose wasn't his true nature. Verse 17 says "And when he came to himself..." The sinful life he embraced and became a part of was not who he really was. He had tried to turn his back on his father's ways, but in truth his father's ways were a part of him. Sin sent him to the pig pen, but an understanding of his father brought him home. This prodigal son had learned the hard way that even though it appeared that everyone else was having more fun than he was, in truth the life of a servant in his father's house was far superior to the pig pen and fair weather friends. In his second letter to the Corinthians, Paul says "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?" 2 Corinthians 6:14. This young Jewish man had yoked himself with unrighteousness, with people who didn't know God. Christians need to heed this and not become yoked with non-Christians. The A Christian can be lured by worldly people into a life of sin that is abominable to God. We need to keep ourselves separate and not yoke ourselves with a non-Christian who can easily lure us into the pig pen. What do we consider entertainment? The movies we watch, music we listen to, and friends we choose all influence us. If our choices don't glorify God we need to change our ways. Do we make choices that lead us into the pig pen, or do we choose to honor Christ? A Christian should always honor Christ. The prodigal repented. He changed his mind about the lifestyle he had chosen and returned home. He was ready to be a servant in his father's home. "And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him." Luke 15:20. What joy it was for that father, who had never stopped loving him and watching for his return, to have his son come home. The son confessed his unworthiness to his father, but the joy that father felt was grounds for a great party. It wasn't the type of party that the son found on his path to the pig pen, but it was one filled with true joy. As Christians we know that the Holy Spirit is sealed within us. If we choose to go the way of the prodigal and ignore God's word, we take the Holy Spirit to the pig pen with us. We can lie to those who care about us and maybe they will believe that we aren't a part of the riotous living, but we cannot lie to the Holy Spirit. "And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption." Ephesians 4:30. He knows if we are listening to music that glorifies Satan, or if we are committing adultery, or if we are joining in or condoning any lifestyle that is grievous to God. There's a second part to this parable which involves the elder son who also received his inheritance. The Pharisees among the listeners could relate to him. The elder son always followed his father's orders, never desired to do as the younger brother had. He was superior in his perfection and deserving of everything the father had to give. Or was he? He was angry and jealous. When his father asked why, his anger and self-righteousness became evident. "And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf." Luke 15:29-30. This older son seems to have kept tabs on his younger brother. Rather than trying to bring his prodigal brother home he was prideful and self-righteous. The good things he did weren't done to make his father's life easier, but to prove he was "holier than thou". His works were all wood, hay, and stubble that will be burned up on judgment day, instead of the gold, silver, and precious stones that will be eternal. He pointed out his own goodness and was angry with his father for accepting the prodigal back. That elder son had gone through the motions of acting out love, but he didn't truly love. The things he did were to secure his own standing with his father, but he didn't love his brother. We can feel the father's hurt. "And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found." Luke 15:31-32. The audience listening to Jesus' words was a combination of both sons. "Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him." Luke 15:1. This group was represented by the prodigal who had turned away from God. They needed to get out of the pig pen and return home. "And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eatheth with them." Luke 15:2. These were represented by the elder son. They were self-righteous men who looked down upon anyone who wasn't as perfect as they imagined themselves to be. What about us? Are we the prodigal son or are we the elder son? Chances are we have some of both in us. Do we rebel against God and live according to our own sinful ways? Do we convince ourselves that the Bible is just an old outdated manuscript that is not relevant to our modern times? Sin in Biblical times is still sin today. We cannot live the riotous, sinful life of the prodigal and still expect God to keep us out of the pig pen. What if the prodigal had died in the pig pen? He still would have been the father's son, but the fellowship would not have been restored. On the other hand are we like the elder brother? When we see one of our brothers or sisters in Christ stumble do we condemn them because of our own imagined self-righteous? Do we try to bring them back into the safety of the Father's care, or just watch as they descend into the pig pen? If the elder son had gone to find his brother, would the prodigal have come home sooner? You see, both of these brothers were of the same family, just as all Christians are brothers and sisters in Christ. We are all a part of the family of God. When we see a brother or sister headed for the pig pen we need to stop them and bring them back home. Instead of anger at the returning prodigal, we need to join in the celebration. Time is short. Tomorrow is promised to no one and it may be the day you are called Home. Whether the Rapture happens, or you meet with an accident, or your health fails you need to be in a right fellowship with God. If you are the prodigal in the pig pen, now is the time to come out of it and return home. Humble yourself before God and return to the family. If you are the self-righteous elder brother who looks down upon his struggling brother or sister, examine yourself and get right with God. If you are one of the fair weather friends who partied with the prodigal, you need to meet Jesus. Make your decision now, tomorrow may be too late.

    This link speaks truth and we need more real bible truths because more and more pastors,preachers and teachers are telling many the lies and falsehoods that the devil is promoting because if he can deceive and confuse more and more people than when he makes his "Big Appearance" mimicking how The Lion of Judah,Jesus Christ will come back.

Just ask yourself do you really know how Jesus will show up and have you been deceived  by false doctrines taught by denominations that have diluted and prevented many from hearing and following the Jesus Christ that walked this earth. 

You say Oh No Not my pastor,preacher,or my church because they have been teaching this for years,or they have been lead by the Holy Spirit! Ask what kind of spirit are they being lead by?

Look really at what is being taught. Then ask what is being taught and what is the focus of their preaching and what spirit are they following? By their fruits you shall know them. BE NOT DECEIVED! Because once Jesus returns NO MORE Chances folks. Read 2 Peter and Revelation
