“Look Into the Gospel”
“The Return”
The Holy Spirit was poured out on the Day of Pentecost and since then the church has been waiting for the coming of Jesus Christ for His church, the bride of Christ.
We read in Matthew 25 the parable of the Ten Virgins. This parable tells us of five who were ready with anticipation and preparation for the coming of the bridegroom (Jesus Christ). While at the same time there were five virgins who were not ready and were left out of the wedding. (The wedding will be when the church is with Jesus in the air.) Jesus is saying some will be ready and some will not. Some will be full of the Spirit and will have anticipation of the Lord’s return, while others will not be expecting the rapture of the church.
We can all be ready if we follow what the Word of God says, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” II Timothy 2:15
It takes diligence to present ourselves approved to God as we work towards rightly dividing the Word. We might not know the day or the hour but we can know the events that precede the return of Jesus. The return of Jesus Christ for His church, before the tribulation, is one of the most powerful and inspiring events in history and we who love the Lord can hardly wait when we know the truth through His Word.
What I count on in regards to the pre-tribulation rapture:
The Holy Spirit holds back the lawless one, the Holy Spirit is in us His church, when we are raptured we who hold back the lawless one will be out of the way. (II Thessalonians 2:7)
After the rapture the church will celebrate the marriage supper of the Lamb, and the wrath of the Lamb will be poured out on the earth. God has not called His children to wrath, He does not pour out wrath on the wicked and the righteous at the same time.
Also Jude 14 says Christ will return with His saints, if we are on the earth during the tribulation how can we return with Him?
Some people say the Jesus movement was the greatest revival in American history. Well I believe the greatest revival is coming before the return of Jesus Christ. As a matter of fact I believe it has already started.
We can see how God is moving in America and in other parts of the world. There are born again leaders of nations who are encouraging their people to turn to the Lord. Corporate C.E.Os, athletes, and entertainers are getting saved, politicians are turning to the Lord, and scientists are seeing God in creation.
Let’s continue to do our part to win others for the Lord as we wait for His coming with great anticipation and expectation!

Freedom!
John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
Freedom
John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death. His mercy and grace enables us to live righteously and to be obedient to His voice. In America Christians have tremendous freedom that many Christians do not have around the world. Christians are the most persecuted people group in the world, yet in this country we are able to live with far less persecution. We may still face social persecution and ridicule from family, friends, co-workers, and other people that might hate Christians, but the persecution we face is often far-less than the public and government endorsed persecution found in other nations. The enemy wants to destroy Christians through persecution and through spiritual compromise. 1 Peter 5:9 “Refuse to give in to [resist] him (the devil), by standing strong in your faith. “You know that your Christian family [community of believers; brotherhood] all over the world is having the same kinds of suffering. We have brothers and sisters around the world that are suffering persecution, torment, and temptation. We need to pray for the persecuted church, we need to pray for Christians who have been arrested, attacked, and tortured for their faith in Jesus. We are to pray for all people, kings and all who are in high positions that we might lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. (1 Timothy 2:1-2) Hebrews 13:3 encourages us: “Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.” Pray for the persecuted church to be able to fearlessly make known the mystery of the Gospel. Pray that God strengthen those who suffer for His Name. Pray for God’s presence and protection over Christians who are in danger. Pray that their witness transforms their persecutors. Pray that God provides shelter, food, and medical care for Christians. Pray for Christians in the persecuted church to be bold, wise, and encouraged. Pray that persecuted family members would be reunited and find peace. Pray for those persecuted by their biological families to be able to win their family members to Christ. Pray that Christians who are falsely accused receive justice and fair trials. Pray for persecuted Christians to stay strong in their identity in Christ. Thank the Lord for the freedom we have in Him from sin. Pray for all struggling with sin to find freedom in Christ. Thank the Lord for the religious freedom we have in this nation to freely gather and praise Him, and pray for boldness for sharing Jesus with everyone.
