End Times...Church Sleep!

 

Matthew 24:4-25 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 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 one 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. “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, her is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time.” (NIV)

 

The End is Near! People are shopping, drinking, partying, having unmarried sex, partaking in ungodly things, and living like tomorrow will always be. Politicians are plotting, planning, creating false flag events, lying, and deceiving the masses. Wars are being sought, fought, and rumored with new ones on the way. The government is taking God out of all aspects of its society by pushing Islamic sentiments, forcing healthcare initiatives with hidden microchip agendas, penalizing Christian believers, forcing homosexual ideology, and taking away the rights of free speech. Anti-God agendas are being displayed and portrayed throughout TV, radio, government, music, magazines, and educational institutions. The church is sleep! Instead of teaching about Christ soon return, which often times is only mentioned at funerals, many Bishops, Pastors, and Elders would prefer to talk about prosperity, money, and the “mega” doctrine of greed. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve. (NIV)

That’s right! Greed has replaced the Need to teach people about prophecy and end time events. People are getting more excited about getting a bigger house, church, or car than they are about the soon coming return of Christ. At any given service, you will hear about planting seeds and expecting a harvest, but when was the last time that you heard about getting your house in order because Christ is about to come back? Why isn’t the church teaching more on this? Why is it that you can hear a thousand remixes on giving, planting, sowing, and harvesting when we should be giving, planting, sowing, and trying to harvest souls from the world? In its place, many of us are trying to straddle the fence and instead of shouting from the rooftop as John the Baptist did with telling lost souls to repent, we are negotiating and trying to get the world to do our next duet on the music charts. Matthew 3:1-3 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’ ” (NIV)

People are so afraid to call sin by name for fear of “judging” someone. Yes, we are not to judge, but judging does not mean that you do not tell what THUS SAITH THE LORD. In that case, there would be Absolutely NO ONE qualified to speak the truth about God’s word for none of us would be worthy. Judgment will begin with the house of God. We will be held responsible for what we did and didn’t do; what we did and didn’t say. 1 Peter 4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? (NIV) Stop letting people tell you that when you speak the word of God that you are judging. Jude 1:22-23 Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.(NIV)

The time is near when God will soon release His Spirit from the earth.

Genesis 6:3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal. (NIV)  God is not playing with man. Just as He did in the days of Noah, God will not allow man to continue to make a mockery of Him.

Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. (NIV) God will not allow His name and reputation to be continuously mocked by unbelievers. Even those in the house of God have attempted to make a mockery for what He truly stands for. Instead of teaching about salvation, they teach about financial restoration. Instead of teaching about ungodly lifestyles, they compromise and say that it’s okay. Instead of standing up for the ONE TRUE GOD they contend that there are many paths to heaven. Instead of ushering in God’s presence, they usher in Starbucks. Instead of telling the churches to never stand for someone who goes against the commands of God, they okay for their congregants to vote them in the White House. Instead of taking a stand for laws that are constantly being passed in government, which defies the laws of God, they are more worried about their 501 IRS tax standing. Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ (NIV)

            People are being persecuted EVERY SINGLE DAY for their stance on Christianity. Persecution in the United States just hasn’t come yet, but believe me when I say…It Is Coming! Many of the freedoms that we once had are gone. Most Americans are asleep to how much of their rights are actually being taken away. They have not just taken our rights, we have VOTED them away by putting people who have the anti-Christ spirit into the White House. If we voted for a person who agrees with abortions, we have gone against the laws of God. If we have voted for a person who promotes the homosexual agenda, we have gone against the laws of God. If we voted someone in who declares himself a Christian while promoting an Islamic agenda, we have gone against the laws of God. The list goes on and on.

            The United States is going to be judged by God for all the wickedness that has taken place. The United States will fall and we as Christians are partly to blame because we have not stood for what is right. Exodus 9:1-3 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, so that they may worship me.” If you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them back, the hand of the Lord will bring a terrible plague on your livestock in the field—on your horses, donkeys and camels and on your cattle, sheep and goats. (NIV)  Moses was bold before Pharaoh and stood before the government of Egypt. However, we don’t want to offend anyone. We don’t want to step on any toes. We don’t want to ruffle any feathers. Well, guess what? We must take our share of the blame when things go downhill because we have not stood for what is right. We have not sounded the alarm. We have been caught up into ourselves, greed, material gain, fancy houses, mega churches, and the status quo more than we have been into preparing the way for the coming of the Lord.

            I’m not talking about getting more people to fill your seats. I am speaking of getting more souls into the kingdom. Just because you accept Christ does not mean that you are going to heaven. I am sorry, but this philosophy of once saved, always saved is going to send a lot of people to hell and those who teach this lie. You must teach people that it matters how they live their lives. Yes, Jesus will give us grace and mercy, but that mercy is not to be taken advantage of. We are to live holy and upright lives before the Lord. 2 Peter 2:21 It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. (NIV)

            Many are making the mistake of thinking that they will not have to worry about anything because they will be raptured before anything ever takes place. Shame on the pastors who are deceiving people into thinking like this. You better be ready to go through persecution just as others in the Islamic countries are doing every day. God does not have respect of person and many are being martyred every day for Christ. Why is it that people within the U.S. think that our time isn’t coming. Oh, it is coming and many are not going to be prepared. There will come a time when we will not be able to worship openly as we do now. The church doors will be closed. The Bible will have to be in your heart instead of your hand. You will be arrested and have to flee to places unknown because you are a Christian. We will not be able to buy or sell unless we have the mark of the beast, which carries the number 666. Revelation 13:15-18 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666. (NIV) The Bible speaks on this and the day is coming closer and closer. God will come back to get His people, but we will not be exempt from persecution. Wake up Church! Teach the WHOLE TRUTH Pastors! Tell the world that Jesus is Soon to RETURN. We MUST get our houses in order!!! This is not to scare anyone, but this is to sound the alarm because hell will be scarier than anything I can write. Take care and be blessed!
