One Week!

In one week as I write this post I will be in Guatemala preaching the Gospel and preparing for the VBS. As the days draw nearer I am finding myself getting more and more nervous. Not in a bad way but in a good way. If I am not nervous then I would not be doing it in the right mind. Those of you that read these posts, the last two I have posted I was wrestling with the Lord. I finally gave in the by Friday and was able to get some sleep finally that evening while I was on duty for the Reserves. I have been praying to God to change my view towards people and I ask those of you that follow this Blog to pray with me as well. God has something in store for my life in the future. What that is where I will go what I will be doing is still a mystery. I wait patiently for His answer and continue my weekly quiet time in the Word that I have been faithfully doing for the past several months. Thanks Pastor Rick for holding me accountable and showing me what I need to do.

God has put an individual in my life that has been dealing with many issues and I have had the honor to minister to him on a daily basis. Please pray for this individual that God will show himself to him.

I believe in my heart and have the peace that God wants me to start preparing to do His will. I truely believe that it is more than just my ministry to reach out to the military through Soldier4Christ.org. I believe it is much bigger than that. I feel like Abraham in the book of Genesis when God told him to go. The path is very hazey and is unclear and I continue to wait patiently for a clear open door of the path that He wants me to take.

THEY SHALL NOT ESCAPE!

Hello again. One of the assignements that we are required to do is to read 1 Thessalonians completely till we leave. I have read it many times before but God stopped me today.

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.
(1Th 5:2-3)

He stopped me on the final few words at the end of 1 Thessalonians 5:3 and it says. "THEY SHALL NOT ESCAPE" They who? Of course the church because in the very first Verse states:

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
(1Th 5:1)

That key word Brethren.

Something tells me that there is going to be believers out there that will be supprised when Christ comes back to claim His kingdom! The question is are you one of those? Do you watch for his coming? Do you even believe that His coming is near? Some of us are going to get suprised as some of us go about our daily routines and not even puting God first in their lives continuing in sinful acts of disobedience and using salvation as a ticket to sin! There is no escaping the fact that Jesus Christ will be coming! The question is what are you doing now this very moment? Reading this I know but what about afterwards?

Those of you that are not saved and have no idea what I am talking about let me give you an example. What happens with a thief in the night? He comes when you least expect it! You may be away from the house you may even be sleeping in your house or you may even be awake and the thief comes in. The next thing you know your most valued possessions are gone! The chances of getting them back are slim to none. Jesus Christ is coming for the Church! Not the building but the people! A human life is pretty valuable! They will disappear raptured out! Loved ones, Neighbors, Friends, coworkers. Some houses will be partially missing because that relative repented of their sins to GOD not man and asked them to come in to their heart and save them from hell. The rest will be "Left Behind" awating a distruction, a judgement and eternal pain and suffering. THEY SHALL NOT ESCAPE! No place to hide no where to run.

Are you one of those?
