(We are not to worry or be fearful, but trust Jesus. He will keep us safe and guide us if we stay close to Him and remain committed and obedient to do His will). Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20241035 During His Tempation, Jesus refers us to Psalm 91 which tells us to get under GOD'S WING. My Refuge and My Fortress 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, HE is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in HIM will I trust 3 Surely HE shall deliver thee. from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 HE shall cover thee with his feathers, and under HIS wings shalt thou trust: HIS truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made THE LORD, which is my refuge, even THE MOST High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For HE shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known MY NAME. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. thank you for posting this |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 40859525 Only Christians have the purest ass in the whole world. But really -nobody gives half a fart what you believe. Your programming is complete and final.. Not even God can help you now. No youre not right. Well maybe you are. I am sorry that the Christian church has given the message of exclusivity and elitist nature. I know it has. I am even more sorry that i feel a need to apologize for people who are supposed to be demonstrating the love and acceptance of Jesus. But as the scripture says "many will be deceived". That means us or the "christians" you are refering to. The truth is that big stained glass building full of people looking down on everyone else is not the message of Christ. It does not mirror his actions or any of his disciples or apostles. Your walk with God is between you and him. I am not saying the church doesnt have its place. It is the bride of christ. But in the revelation only 2 of 7 churches refered to, cut the muster. And even then it seems one is doing good and one is just getting by. The rest fall short. My point is you cant let the foolish behavior of imperfect human christians determine your fate. You wont find the answers through them. Go straight to the source. "I like your Christ; I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” -Gandhi Salt... I like the way you talk :) In mat 24, this comforts me... 27For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. I used to be so afraid that i would be fooled. But it doesnt say His presence on earth will slowly become known to all. It says his arrival is unmistakable. Also we really have to know each other by our fruits. |

God will not be destroying innocent. Those that are left when the Wrath of God begins will NOT have any good left in them. They will have sided with satan and given him their soul willingly. God is of love. He does not kill people. He is not punishing people with cancer. He is not causing stillbirths. He is not killing people in storms. God gave us free will. Satan didn't want us to have free will, just robots who followed his orders. God gave us the greatest gift of all, LOVE. Love is not something satan and his followers have - there is no natural love in those beings. They are evil. They will burn for their choice of free will. Too many people try to put GOD in their own box of understanding, yet there isn't a people on this world that understands GOD. People hating on each other, hating on different religions, hating on the color of someones skin, or the country they are from, is NOT being GODLY. A Christian who condemns another religion or a young woman for having a child out of wedlock is not LOVE. A Muslim who wants to kill all who are not following their believes or infidels is not LOVE. Just two examples only, not picking on the two above. Without LOVE, no one is close to GOD. 1 Corinthians 13 NKJV 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,[a] but have not love, it profits me nothing. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Quoting: Salt The Advice and Warnings Of Jesus To Prepare Us for This Time Matthew 24: Verses 4-5 ,11, 24 – LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU – The very first thing Jesus tells us is to be extra careful about not being deceived in spiritual matters by men because many false prophets and those professing they are of Christ will deceive many (as they are deceived themselves). (Notice Jesus said MANY. Verse 14 – THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED UNTO THE WHOLE WORLD – Jesus told us that prior to His coming there would be a great emphasis on evangelism that stressed kingdom living and that it would spread to the whole world. God wants to use all Christians in this endeavor so that we will be witnesses of His love, salvation, and be able to demonstrate His Kingdom authority over all the powers of darkness. We are to share this Kingdom message with the lost. Verse 6 – DO NOT YIELD TO FEAR AND WORRY – Do not be troubled. (We are not to worry or be fearful, but trust Jesus. He will keep us safe and guide us if we stay close to Him and remain committed and obedient to do His will). Verse 14 – ASK JESUS FOR COURAGE & ENDURANCE – Ask Jesus to help you endure hardships and troubles because all of us will need endurance to make it to the end (the coming of the Lord.) Verses 15-21 – BE READY TO FLEE IF NEEDED – Be ready to flee from your locale when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies because there will be great tribulation such as the world has never known right before Christ’s return (could be atomic bomb attacks because it produces desolation to an area and also with Jesus’ warning to pregnant mothers radiation is especially harmful to unborn babies resulting in deformities). Do not hold on to any material possession if the Lord tells you to move or leave an area. This could apply to other areas as well because of terrorist threats. We must all get close enough to Jesus to hear his instructions to each of us as individuals. This is not meant to create fear, but the Holy Spirit does warn those who are listening to God, even as He sent an angel to warn Joseph and Mary to flee Bethlehem because of the coming massacre of the children slaughtered at King Herod’s order. I believe because God is no respecter of men that others in Bethlehem could have fled also if they were close enough to God to hear His instructions. There were sad stories of many Christians and Jews during World War II who were warned in prophecies to leave their homes and businesses behind and flee, but their material things had such a grip on them they could not leave and they ended up being killed or endured tremendous suffering. Verse 23 – DO NOT RUN TO PLACES TO SEEK CHRIST’S PRESENCE – Do not go to any place men say Christ’s presence will be, not to the desert, nor to any secret place. Christ’s coming will be seen by all. If we are totally committed to God and filled with the Holy Spirit, we have His presence within us to guide us and we do not have to seek Him in geographic places. We just need to be in His will and that is the safest place of all. Verse 24 – BE CAREFUL NOT TO BELIEVE ALL SIGNS AND WONDERS DONE IN THE NAME OF JESUS – False Christs and false prophets will perform lying signs and wonders that will be so deceptive that even the very “elect” or God’s own people will think they are from God. The Bible tells us these lying signs and wonders in the end times will exist along with God’s true signs and wonders. We must understand that all things done in the name of Jesus are not from Him because Satan can counterfeit the things of God. How do we tell the difference? We are told to “Prove All Things” which means we are to “test” them to see if they line up with the Word of God and if they witness to our spirit by the Holy Spirit within. We are to see if the actions and the character of those demonstrating those miracles line up with the character of God. Would the Jesus we know be acting that way? Many times if we are uneasy about something, it is the Holy Spirit trying to reveal to us why we are feeling that way. The Lord never minds us asking Him if something is of Him or is not of Him. In fact, that is why we are admonished with these words in 1 Thessalonians 5:21: “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” We should seek Him in prayer as to what He is saying. There are two sources of supernatural power: (1) The power of God and (2) The power of the devil. Man will operate out of one of these sources when it comes to miracles. We must ask God to help us discern which source they are coming from. There can also be a “mixture.” Sometimes men operate in the flesh which really is the devil influencing them, but not necessarily the supernatural operations of the devil. Because the age old battle of good against evil, God against the devil, true miracles as opposed to false miracles, true prophets as opposed to false prophets, we will find this same battle going on in our churches and meetings. Some people can be operating under the influence of the Holy Spirit at times and at other times they can be operating under Satan’s influence. They can speak things of God and also speak things from the devil. The Bible says this ought not to be so, but it does happen, and that is why God wants us to be discerning. James 3 is very clear that if we do not deal with the things in the flesh it can contaminate and destroy the whole body. Verses 32-39 – WATCH AND PREPARE FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD – Watch and be ready by being a faithful and wise servant because the Lord will come suddenly when most will not be expecting him. Know when these things God mentions in this chapter start to come to pass that Christ’s return is very close. The violence and indulgence that existed during the days of Noah will once again exist just prior to the coming of the Lord. We can escape the destruction by walking in faith and love and by wearing the whole armor of God spoken of in Ephesians 6. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:2-9 [link to bibleresources.org] Thread: When they start saying "Peace & Safety" and "Peace & Security" for the NWO...
