"We need to witness Publicly"


 
John and Doves,
Can we worship privately at home in our prayer closets ? Absolutely!!
For those who have no other way, that way is for them ( because of illness, lack of transportation etc).

But for the majority of Christians, we have no excuse to not attend Church services 
(to witness publicly) one day a week, while we still can.

It doesn't matter which day. 

Romans 14: 5, 6
"One esteemeth one day
above another (meaning the Sabbath Day, day of worship).
Another esteemeth every day alike
(Each day is dedicated to God in forms of witnessing).

Let every person be fully persuaded in his own mind."
(Be determined and diligent in your decision and commitment ).

"He that regardeth the Day, regardeth it unto the Lord. And he that regardeth not the Day to the Lord, he doth not regard it."

 What really matters is that the heart desires to make a stand for Jesus that our children (especially), our neighbors, friends and let's face it--- our nation needs to see.

The act of witnessing is incumbent upon all believers. 

Example:
We see in Mark 14:66--72,
where Peter denied even knowing our Lord three times. The crowing of the clock confirmed the betrayal.

This portrayal shows us the meaning of
"the Cock-Crowing Rapture" ,
( which is shortly before Armageddon Rev. 16:15.)
Those who go in that rapture avoided making their Faith public until well within the Great Tribulation.

The professing Christians
who in their life publicly affiliated with Jesus, went 3 -1/2 years earlier at the Midnight Rapture
( Matthew 25:1--13).

The Scriptures tell us that the Sabbath Day was given to us as a *sign* to others that we are God's people. He is our God and we belong to Him and we trust completely in Him.

We were meant to come together to share our oneness (fellowship) and for us to have instruction....a time of *Convocation* and consensus.

Here are the Scriptures we are to understand:
Ezekiel 20:12,13
Exodus 31:13
Isaiah 58:13
Luke 4:16

We are to assemble all the more as we see the Day approaching.
The day of the Midnight Rapture is quickly approaching.
Hebrews 10:25

We are to have a reaccuring appointment with God...a moed.
