Brothers and sisters in Christ…You need to read this!  Listen to what the Holy Spirit says: What lies ahead is trouble and hardship, distress and persecution, famine, nakedness, danger, and sword.  

News Article…November 29, 2022…The final nail in the coffin of religious liberty has been hammered into place; persecution of Christians will now go off-the-charts.  The U.S. Senate passed the Respect for Marriage Act Tuesday in a bipartisan vote of 61 to 36, which will require the federal government to recognize all marriages, including same-sex “marriages,” that are legal in the state where they took place.  Disrespect for the institution of marriage has now become codified National policy.  

  • GOP-sponsored amendments to the Respect for Marriage Act to protect religious freedoms for individuals and institutions have failed... and with the aid of 11 so-called “Republicans,” the Democrat-led Senate has passed the measure opposed by numerous pro-family and faith-based groups.  Christians have been out-right betrayed and thrown to the wolves…all defenses of religious liberty for bakers, photographers, small business owners, teachers, and thousands of other Christians have been effectively nullified.  Under this law, the minute your child walks into a classroom, the minute you walk into your secular workplace or school board meeting or town hall, your rights to religious freedom cease to exist.  The Republican Party has literally put a hammer in the hands of the ideological Left to crush every non-conformist.
  • Free speech, conscience rights, tax-exempt statuses, religious freedom, and every other fundamental value has been terminated with this bill, and the fundamental right of parents to have a say in their children’s education would vanish.  The second Joe Biden’s pen hits the paper to sign H.R. 8404 into law, the microphones across the country’s local school boards meetings…the same ones that thousands of moms and dads have used to speak out against the moral and spiritual child molestation of their children in the public school indoctrination camps… would be turned off.  Everything moms and dads have fought for these last few years has been utterly destroyed.
  • Under this Act, natural marriage is considered a bigoted view… discrimination, in fact.  Some legal experts believe the text actually makes a correlation between natural marriage and racism.  The Bill itself threatens, “The Attorney General may bring a civil action in the appropriate United States district court against any person who violates subsection (a) for declaratory and injunctive relief.”  In other words, if you hold the belief that marriage is the union of a man and woman…the mainstream view for all of human history…and stand in the way of the Left’s redefinition of marriage in any way, the full weight of the Justice Department will be brought to bear against you.  As if that weren’t enough, a private right of action…meaning everyday citizens can sue based on some or any perceived violation of their rights…is encouraged for anyone “harmed” by your biblical beliefs.
  • Carrying that out to its logical conclusion, parents who object to graphic or inappropriate curriculum in the classroom would become targets.  If people thought the “domestic terrorism” label imposed upon them by the Biden Administration was bad…this legislation effectively turns every same-sex marriage enthusiast into an agent of the DOJ.    “Once this is codified into law, parents will be considered bigots for pushing back on extremism in the classroom,” Family Research Council president Tony Perkins warns.  “It will no longer be an illegitimate ruling, where the courts were free to act on their own.  It will now be the law of the land.” 
  • “After the Obergefell [gay marriage June 26, 2015 Supreme Court ruling] decision, we saw school boards across the country begin to revise sex education curricula to reflect the ruling.  “Some of those revisions are only now becoming evident in the classroom, where they quickly catch the attention of parents who are shocked by highly sexualized content being directed to very young children.  Parents who perhaps supported the idea of expanding the definition of marriage now face the reality of teaching young children about disgusting, repulsive, and perverse homosexual acts and other queer theory pet projects that quickly moved under the LGBTQ+ umbrella.” 
  • The Ethics & Public Policy Center’s Mary Hasson echoed those concerns, cautioning, “We have to understand that the objective for those who are pushing same-sex marriage is not just to acquire the right to get a piece of paper and to have a celebration, which was sort of the promise.  It’s much more than that.  IT IS TO SHUT DOWN AND SILENCE THOSE WHO BELIEVE OTHERWISE.  Over these seven years since Obergefell, we have all seen how this plays out.  “Whatever the law baptizes then becomes the norm.  It becomes the standard that is now being taught.”  
  • And the grass doesn’t get any greener for Christian schools and colleges.  While some Republicans are insisting all of the landmines for religious freedom have been defused, that lie is about to explode in believers’ faces.  The Act now passed “protects” religious educational institutions, but only in the context of solemnizing or celebrating marriageThe language is so narrow that the only expression of natural marriage allowed on campus would be an actual wedding ceremony.
    The Senate has painted a bullseye on the backs of concerned parents who don’t want to see any more of the filthy, disgusting, repulsive homosexual sexual agenda being pushed through their local school and on their children, and a bullseye on every orthodox, Bible-believing school as well. 
  • Those eight little words…“for the solemnization or celebration of a marriage”…reveal this fig leaf for the sham it is.  Solemnization happens at the altar, and only people and institutions directly involved in that event are safe.  Everything before and after is unprotected.”  What this phrase means is that outside of an actual wedding ceremony itself, the freedom of every American would be cut off at the knees, including Bible-believing adoption agencies, women’s shelters, ministries, religious schools, and charities. 
  • This destructive bill goes much further than the status quo.  It equates belief in natural marriage with racism.  The bill also subjects adoption agencies, women’s shelters, and other non-profits that serve their communities to further risk of lawsuits if they do not bow the knee to the LGBT agenda, even if doing so would harm the people they are called to serve.  And it supercharges these religious freedom violations by creating a “right of private action,” arming ANY private activist with the ability to bring harassing lawsuits that could take years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to settle
  • This oppression would be backed by the full weight of the federal government and aimed squarely at anyone who dissents…including concerned parents.
    It does nothing to protect faith-based schools, colleges, adoption agencies, or charities that hold to a natural view of marriage.
    It does nothing to protect parents who object to same-sex curriculums being taught in their child’s school.  Make no mistake: Parents concerned about the the filthy, disgusting, repulsive homosexual sexual agenda being pushed in their local public schools will be completely muzzled and sidelined as a result of the passage of this bill.
    It does nothing to protect individuals who seek to operate their businesses according to their deeply held religious convictions that marriage is between one man and one woman.
    It
    jeopardizes the tax-exempt status of every Bible believing church, school, college, charity, and adoption agency in the country.
    It will unleash a horde of LGBT activists whose determined agenda will be to punish Christians for their beliefs.

News article: Todd Starnes: Legislation to Codify Marriage Will Punish Church, Christian Business Owners.  Senators passed a dangerous piece of legislation that will jeopardize the religious freedom of millions of Americans.  What’s even more shocking is that a dozen Republicans joined Democrats to pass the so-called “Respect”  for Marriage Act.   

  • THE BILL ENSHRINES SAME-SEX MARRIAGE INTO FEDERAL LAW.  But that’s not why you should be concerned about the legislation.  THE BILL ALSO INTENTIONALLY TARGETS PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN.  It has nothing whatsoever to do with respecting marriage.  It has everything to do with payback.  This legislation is not about respecting marriage; it’s about providing unmitigated legal opportunity for disrespecting and crushing  people of faith
  • “The (Dis)Respect for Marriage Act makes people prime targets for government harassment, investigation, prosecution, even civil action. This bill is a club, with which the Left will attempt to beat into submission people of orthodox faith…those who believe in marriage as God designed it and history has defined…into submission to their destructive sexuality ideology,” said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. The legislation exposes individual Christians as well as Christian ministries and businesses to predatory lawsuits. Any church that refuses to endorse same-sex marriage could lose its tax exempt status.
  • “This dangerously cynical and completely unnecessary bill is a direct attack on the First Amendment,” said Ryan Bangert, of Alliance Defending Freedom.  “It does nothing to change the legal status of same-sex marriage anywhere.  But it undermines religious freedom everywhere and exposes Americans throughout the country to predatory lawsuits by activists seeking to use the threat of litigation to silence debate and exclude people of faith from the public square.”  
  • Even before the passage of this Bill, we’ve already seen a multitude of attacks on Christian bakers, florists and wedding planners.  Radical LGBT activists are literally using the court system to bully people who believe in natural marriage.  “Under the RFMA’s current language, many religious schools, faith-based organizations, and other non-profit entities adhering to traditional views of marriage would be at risk of losing tax-exempt status and access to a wide range of federal programs.”  Many small businesses would also be affected.  “For example, wedding vendors (including kosher caterers) would be subjected to endless lawsuits and harassment based solely on their beliefs,” the Utah Republican noted. 
  • THE TRUE NATURE OF THE BILL HAS BEEN EXPOSED; THE END GOAL IS SOLELY TO PUNISH AND NEUTRALIZE THE CHURCH.  https://www.toddstarnes.com/opinion/legislation-to-codify-marriage-will-punish-church-christian-business-owners/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=todd-starnes-newsletter&utm_campaign=breaking&utm_content=firefly

Brethren…why would you ever think that the Sovereign All-Ruler over all Creation is a God Who can be continually mocked without consequence?  Why would you ever think that God would forgive a Nation’s [America’s] sins and make them prosperous again apart from National repentance, National prayer, and National reformation?
God did not spare even the angels who sinned. 
He threw them into hell, in gloomy pits of darkness, where they are being held until the day of judgment.
And God did not spare the ancient world…except for Noah and the seven others in his family.  Noah warned the world of God’s righteous judgment.  So God protected Noah when He destroyed the world of ungodly people with a vast flood.
And God condemned to ruin and extinction the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, reducing them to ashes, setting them forth as an example to those who would be ungodlyBut God also rescued Lot out of Sodom because he was a righteous man who was sick of the filthy, perverse lives of the homosexual men inhabiting those cities.  In that day, before Lot and his 2 guests had retired for the night, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom…both young and old…surrounded the house.  They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight?  Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” [Gen 19:4-5]  Yes, Lot was a righteous man who was tormented in his soul by the wickedness he saw and heard day after day.
So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials, even while keeping the wicked under punishment until the day of final judgment.  He is especially hard on those who follow their own twisted sexual desire, and who despise authority. [2 Peter 2:4-10]

THE TRUE PLACE OF THE CREATURE

These all wait upon You to give them their food in due season.  You give to them, they gather it up; You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good. [Ps 104:27-28]

My beloved child…this Word sums up the entire relationship of all Creation to its Creator, and its continuous and universal dependence upon Me…that the whole Creation is ruled by the one unalterable law of waiting upon God.  Just as much as it was My work to create, it is My work to maintain.  As little as the creature could create itself, is it left to provide for itself.  The one purpose for which God gave life to every living being was that in them I might prove and show forth My Wisdom, Power and Goodness…in My being each moment their life and happiness, and pouring forth into them, according to their capacity, the richness of My Goodness and Power.  And just as this is the very place and nature of God, to be unceasingly the One Who satisfies every want in the creature, so the very place and nature of the creature is nothing but this…to wait upon God and receive from Me what I alone can give, what I delight to give.  Your responsibility to wait upon God is no arbitrary command, rendered necessary simply because of your sin and helplessness.  It is simply and truly your restoration to your original destiny and your highest nobility, to your true place and glory as a creature blessedly dependent on the All-Glorious God!  In My fathomless love for you, **        **, I created you for Myself…and it is the desire of My heart to pour all of My Blessedness and all of My Goodness into you, to have intimate fellowship with you, and to become ever more one with you…even as We are One with One Another in our Blessed Holy Trinity.

Abba Father…as I meditate on Your Word in this Psalm, and my eyes are opened to this precious truth, and learn to look upon all life in Nature as continually maintained by God Himself…I see that waiting upon You, Father, is the very necessity of my being.  It is the very nature and glory of God that You are a God Who is to be waited upon.  Every thought of what nature is, and Who God is, gives new force to the command…wait thou only upon God.  It is God Who gives ALL; enable me, by the power of Your enabling grace, to embrace this faith deeply in my heart.  Waiting upon God, unceasing and entire dependence upon You is, in Heaven and Earth, the one only true Christian life, the one unalterable and all comprehensive expression for my true relationship to the Ever-Blessed One in Whom I live.  Above all things, I have set my heart to make this the one characteristic of my life and worship…a continual, humble, truthful waiting upon God.  I may rest assured that You Who made me for Yourself, in order to give Yourself to me and in me…that You will never disappoint me.  In waiting upon You, Father, I shall indeed find rest and joy and strength, and the satisfaction of my every need.

Yes, **        **, in your physical life, maturity is growth from the utter dependence of a baby to the complete independence and self-reliance of an adult.  In the spiritual life, however, maturity is growth from independence and self-reliance to utter dependency upon God.  The most spiritually mature is the one who lives a life of unreserved child-like dependence upon Me.  A baby is utterly helpless to provide for its physical needs.  All it can do is open its mouth and cry.  Unless there is someone who hears its cry and satisfies its needs, it will surely die.  In the same manner, you are utterly helpless to provide for your spiritual needs.  All you can do is open your mouth and cry.  I am the One Who hears your cry and satisfies those needs.  If you try to live a spiritual life in the power of your flesh…through reliance upon your human capabilities and capacities, by your own efforts and in your own strength, according to your own wisdom, knowledge, and understanding…you will surely die spiritually.  Just as a baby cannot provide for its physical life, neither can you provide for your spiritual life.  Don’t you yet understand?  Your spiritual life cannot grow and mature by trying…only by crying, crying out to Me, and trusting that I will hear your cry and satisfy your needs.  Like a newborn baby crying in its thirst…crave pure spiritual milk, My child, so that by it you may grow up into full spiritual maturity, now that you have tasted the goodness and kindness of the Lord. [Father God…Isa 48:17-18; Phil 4:19; John 15:4-5; 1 Peter 2:2-3; Ps 34:8]

Abba Father…enable me by the Power of Your enabling grace to embrace this blessed life of deep and intimate personal relationship with You: my waiting upon God…watching and waiting, looking off unto You and listening for Your voice…with an unwavering child-like trust and an unreserved child-like dependence, with a joyful expectation and an excited anticipation…for God to reveal to me Your plans, Your purposes, Your will, and a deeper revelation of Who You are…SO I MAY THEN RESPOND, with an unquestioning child-like obedience, to every leading and prompting of the Holy Spirit, cooperating with the Power of His enabling grace Who works in me both to will and to do.

My child…set your heart, your mind, your thoughts on the things of Heaven and the spiritual realm, and not on the things of Earth and the physical realm.  Do not love the world or the things it has to offer.  In so doing, you show no real love for Me.  For the things this world appeals to…your sinful desires, your desire to have everything you see, your foolish pride…do not come from Me but from the world.  The world and its desires shall pass away, but the one who does My will shall live forever! [Father God…Col 3:1-2; 1 John 2:15-17]
My soul, wait thou only upon God!  

Brothers and sisters in Christ…

I love my Country; I grew up here, and worked here, and enjoyed the freedoms we were given here.  Even so…this Country is no longer the Country I grew up in.  It has become something else…something totally different, something strange and foreign to me.  We are a Nation no longer under the rule and Authority of God, and as a result so horribly transformed from what our Founding Fathers envisioned and birthed.  Once a great and respected Christian Nation, God has made us the laughingstock of the world.  This is what the Sovereign Lord said to Moses concerning the Israelites, and our Nation’s founding fathers warned it would apply to America as well: If you disobey the Lord your God and do not faithfully keep all His commands and laws that I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you in accordance with God’s solemn resolve to punish you as you deserve for disobeying Him.  Cursed shall you be in the city and
cursed
shall you be in the field.
Cursed
shall you be when you come in and
cursed
shall you be when you go out.
The Lord will send upon you
curses…calamitous events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, or pestilence that happen suddenly with a huge loss of life.
He will bring confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to,
until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking Him.[Deut 15-16, 19-20]
Presented above is what it looks like…utter chaos…when God has determined by His Own Divine Decree to destroy a Nation, as He has America.Here is what a Fascist Totalitarian Dictatorship looks like as it continues to unilaterally shut down, trample over, and shred our every constitutional right that stands in its way.
Make no mistake about it…God Himself has Personally judged our Nation with utter destruction, by His Own Divine Decree. 
Man did not do this; God didn’t just allow this to happen, He determined it to happenJust as He did not allow Sodom and Gomorrah to be destroyed, or allow the world to be destroyed by a Great Flood…He Personally caused it.
We are plunging into a deep and very dark abyss in American history, at warp speed!A new Democrat reign of terror is upon us, utterly obliterating our Constitutional Republic, free speech, free press, political playing field, religious liberty, and our personal liberty!  We need to be fully aware of what is taking place in our Nation in order to know how to be prepared as ministers of the Lord during these End Times.
God has determined by Divine decree that our Nation will be destroyed. 
Quos Deus vult perdere, prius dementat!  Those whom God is determined to destroy, He first infatuates.”  God has Personally stricken the minds of our Nation’s leaders with idiocy, so that professing to be wise, they have become fools…utter morons! [Rom 1:22]He has caused their thinking to become utterly confused…just as He had warned…so that they actually believe they are acting in wisdom while they are in reality literally destroying the Nation!  You see it unfolding before your very eyes every dayThe Lord will cause you to lose your mind in idiocy, and strike you with wild and helpless fear and panic; He will make you become blind and cause your minds and hearts to be confused. [Deut 28:28]

Brothers and sisters in Christ…

“Mystery Babylon” in the Book of Revelation is America [Rev 17:5], and the prophesy written by John is the utter destruction of America.  We are the End Times Nation, the 7th and last of the great world powers throughout history that God has determined to utterly destroy.  Six have already been destroyed: Greece, Persia, Babylon, Assyria, Egypt, and Rome.  The destruction of America will now usher in the Great Tribulation and the Anti-christ.  America has stood in the way of the Anti-christ, and now God, by His Own Divine Decree, has removed and destroyed our Nation…for obvious good reason…and to usher in the End Times of Biblical prophecy.

Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One Who is speaking to you even now.  For if the Israelites did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the Earthly messenger, who warned and Divinely instructed them, revealing with heavenly warnings God’s will, how much less shall you escape if you reject the One Who warns and admonishes us from Heaven!  When God spoke from Mount Sinai His voice shook the Earth, but now He makes another promise: Once again I will shake not only the Earth but the heavens also.“  This means that all of Creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things will remain.  Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us then be thankful and please God by worshiping Him with holy fear and awe.  For our God is indeed a consuming fire! [Isa 26:10; Heb 12:25-29]

Friends, brothers and sisters, this is our Lord’s exhortation…

Arise My bride, and prepare to pray:

  • Pray to strengthen the backbone of the Church.  The current ongoing persecution of the Church and of Christians is going to escalate exponentially; it is going to get MUCH WORSE. 
  • Pray for the cleansing of the corruption in the Church.  God is going to expose and purge corruption within His Church, and separate the wheat from the chaff…separate His True church from the apostate churches that no longer belong to Him.  He is going to expose false prophets and teachers, and wolves dressed in sheep clothing pretending to be shepherds.
    These are the days of the separation of the wheat from the chaff.  But also in those days there arose false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among yourselves.  They preach prosperity, wealth, and health; good times, and all is well.  From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit.  They dress the wound of My people as though it were not serious.  “Peace, peace,” they say, when there is no peace. Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct?  No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush!  They will subtly and cleverly teach their destructive heresies about God, even denying the Sovereign Lord Who bought them.  Theirs will be a swift and terrible end.
    Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful immorality.  And because of them, Christ and His true way will be slandered.  In their greed they will make up clever lies and cunning arguments to get hold of your money.  With eyes full of adultery, their lust is never satisfied.  They make a game of beguiling and luring unstable people into sin.  They train themselves to be greedy; they are doomed and cursed.  But God condemned them long ago, and their eternal misery is on the way.
    The word of the Lord came to me: Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are now prophesying.  Say to those who prophesy out of their own imagination: Hear the word of the Lord!  This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing!  Your prophets, O Israel, are like jackals among ruins.  You have not gone up to the breaks in the wall to repair it for the house of Israel so that it will stand firm in the battle on the Day of the Lord.  Their visions are false and their divinations a lie.  They say, “The Lord declares,” when the Lord has not sent them; yet they expect their words to be fulfilled.  Have you not seen false visions and uttered lying divinations when you say, “The Lord declares,” though I have not spoken?  Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because of your false words and lying visions, I am against you, declares the Sovereign Lord.  My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. [Jer 6:13-15; 2 Peter 2:1-3, 14; Ezek 13:1-9] 
  • Pray for a Great Harvest.  It is a call to preach the gospel to everyone, everywhere.  Jesus said to them, “Go throughout the whole world and preach the good news of the Gospel to everyone, everywhere.  With My authority, take this message of repentance to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: There is forgiveness of sins for all who turn to Me. [Mark 16:15; Luke 24:47]
    And now, Lord God Almighty…bring rains to our drought-stricken lives, so that those who sow in tears, invoking the Lord of the Harvest, will reap with songs of Joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying bountiful sheaves from the harvest with him! [Ps 126:3-6]  

Arise My bride, and prepare for battle

There is going to be severe Satanic, demonic attacks against God’s holy remnant of committed, uncompromising, steadfast Christians, pastors, and leaders [not the lukewarm], and against marriages, families, and children.  There is going to be severe attacks and intense persecution coming from pretending “Christians” within the church, against pastors who preach the uncompromised Word of God.  For the time is coming when people will not tolerate sound and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching for something self-pleasing and gratifying, they will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear.  [2 Tim 4:3-5]
At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.  Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.  And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. [Matt 24:10-14]
Woe to the inhabitants of the Earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you!  He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short. [Rev 12:12] 

Arise My bride, and prepare to see My Face

Behold, I am coming soon!  My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.
Then the angel said to me, “Write this down: Blessed are those summoned to the marriage banquet of the Lamb…all true believers who are members of His Universal Church.  They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with Power and great Glory.  And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect…God’s holy people…from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.”  And he said to me further, “These are the True Words of God.” [Rev 19:9]
Blessed Jesus…I rejoice and shout triumphantly for joy!  I celebrate and ascribe to You glory and honor, for the marriage of the Lamb draws near, and Your bride, the Universal Church and each of her members, has been preparing herself and has made herself ready! [Rev 19:7]  Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!  For our Lord God, Sovereign All-Ruler, reigns!  Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him Glory!  For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready.  The finest linen, dazzling and white, was given her to wear.  Then the angel said to me, “Write: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage banquet of the Lamb!” [John…Rev 19:6-9; Luke 14:15-23]
The washing of one’s robes and the keeping of one’s garments relates to this very attitude and habit of looking for the return of Christ as an imminent event.    Brethren, as you hope to walk those golden streets, and eat of those immortal fruits, see to it that you have your garments clean and your loins girded about like unto men waiting for their Lord. [Seiss…Rev 21:9-22:5]
Then the king said to his servants, “The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come.  Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.”  So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.  But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing a wedding garment.  “Friend,” he asked, “How did you come in here without putting on the appropriate wedding garment?” The man was speechless.  Then the king told the attendants, “Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.  For many are invited and summoned, but few are chosen.” [Matt 22:8-14
]

Friends, brothers and sisters…

There is one absolutely necessary preparation for every living soul on the face of this Earth, for the soon coming and imminent return of Jesus Christ…the one preparation that will irrevocably determine in which neighborhood you will spend all eternity, whether in Heaven or in Hell.  You must be a born-again child of God.  I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot be in God’s Kingdom.  I tell you the truth, no one can ever enter the Kingdom of God unless you are born of water and the Spirit.  Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.  You should not be surprised at My saying you must be born again. [Jesus…John 3:3-7]

If you have never been born again,
or you are not sure whether you have been born again,
or you have been living your life as a lukewarm Christian and would now like to recommit your life and enter into a deep and intimate relationship with Christ Jesus in preparation for the soon coming marriage supper of the Lamb…
then I counsel you to get alone with God, read the solemn marriage vows you must make to become the bride of Christ and thereby be born-again, https://preservechristianfamily.org/2019/01/21/bride-of-christ/ and with sincerity of heart from within the depths of your being, acknowledge before God, “I DO.”

ENDURE TO THE END

Behold, I am coming quickly.  Hold on to what you have, so that no one will deprive you of your crown.  Everyone who overcomes by means of their faith…I will make a pillar in the Sanctuary of My God.  Never again will you leave it.  I will write on you the name of My God and you will be a citizen in the city of My God…the new Jerusalem…which will come down out of Heaven from My God; I will also write on you My Own new name.

Holy:
