"To Nicole"
What you wrote about the methods
that the enemy uses to try to distract and cause us to sin
wilfully in order to sabotage Christians from the Rapture is
very very true! ( The enemy will want to take
you away from the rapture and tempt you with money, a new job,
alcohol, meeting up with old friends, watching bad movies,
gossiping, drawing you into arguments with your spouse, trying
to run you off the road when you are driving, your computer
shutting down, computer being hacked into, your bank account
being hacked into and other vicious things )
Things actually started to happen to me almost one after
another about 4 months ago but thank the Lord that previous
years of wilderness training from the Lord had taught me to
fight the good fight of faith through each and everyone of them
repeatedly and ensuring with the help of the Holy Spirit to stay
obedient to the Lord like remembering to "be angry but sin not"
and to constantly "wait on the Lord" and practise a lot of
"longsuffering" while also "being as wise ( sly ) as a serpent
but gentle ( harmless ) as a dove" to deal with many different
individuals including loved ones in order to maintain being an
"overcomer" the Lord's way and not our own fleshly and carnal
way or the world's "normal" ways.
Its still being fought over and over again as I write this but
your reminder has brought a great sense of relieve and reminder
to me to keep on fighting the good fight of faith the Lord's way
until He comes! It'll be worth it all on THAT day!
I would like to take this opportunity share this with you as He
had opened my understanding of this very familiar and often used
verse in an indescribable way recently to encourage me on I
guess, through these individually trying days. Many of us,
including me until a few days ago, had always thought that
Revelation 22:12 means that the Lord is bringing along His
rewards to give to His people according to the works they had
done when He comes BUT a few days ago, I was prompted to read it
again very slowly and carefully..What I saw this time through
the KJV actually says it like this......"And, behold I come
quickly and MY reward is with Me, to give every man according as
his work SHALL BE."
This is so different and so opposite of what we had been
thinking about this verse..Its not OUR reward but HIS that He's
bringing! AND it will be given ( as in distributed ) according
to each man's assigned work when He arrives!!( this is the
"according as his work SHALL BE" not "works that he had done",
its totally opposite! )
When we understand what exactly is HIS REWARD, then we will see
the entire picture clearly...
Jesus's reward can only be SOULS!
The above verse supports what many men of God like Charles
Capps, Leland ( AA Allen's and many other's visions and dreams )
and others had been teaching about there being a very real
possibility of a short period of time ( maybe 40 days only )
after Jesus comes for His Bride where a group or all the Bride
group will be empowered supernaturally and possibly being in
their "immortal" or glorious state to reach out to "His Reward"
i.e. His pre-determined places and people groups that HE already
has obtained permission from the Father to reach out to and save
when He comes ( who will likely be those by the highways and
hedges, the poor, the maimed, the halt and the blind as per the
parable ) and also to keep His promise to His redeemed that
their entire household will also be saved..Think about that..Its
Isaiah 60: 1-3 and The book of Acts x 7 ( as preached by many
that there's coming a day when a great revival will take place
and it will be 7 times more powerful than what happened in the
book of Acts ) and 1Cor.15:52 all being fulfilled at once, in
the twinkling of an eye!!That's our great and mighty God, The
saviour and true champion of the lost world in action!!! ( but
still unseen by many )
Many who are not believing that the Rapture will happen until
"the gospel is preached to the whole world" will suddenly find
that the Lord Hinself will be doing that immediately after the
"change" when He and His Bride becomes "ONE"! And they had
foolishly not prepared themselves and had even joined in the
mockery and not heeding to all those years of warnings about
being prepared and ready for the Rapture...... but, the blind,
the poor, the destitute, the homeless of the world will be
speedily invited to the Great Supper at the last minute (
because those who had held the "invitations" earlier had made
all kinds of excuses not to go when the time came ( in their
hearts possibly as no one is so stupid and not go..another
fulfillment of Bible prophecy about those being deceived and
deceiving themselves ) to also escape what will come upon
the world soon after....All praise, Glory and Honour to God The
Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit, Forever and Ever,
Amen!
