"Attn: Janie"
Dear Janie, I am so happy to hear of your earnest walk with our
Lord. I rarely write on this board, but your comments and
questions deserve a scriptural answer. I have also been dismayed
at the chaos that has emerged in recent months along this line.
But, because I am much older and seasoned I have seen this before.
I sought God concerning these things in times past and His answer is
the same today. Many have forgotten their first love and their
focus is not Christ centered, but focus is on things pertaining to
scripture, especially prophecy. We indeed have a command to
observe our times and to be aware of the puzzle pieces coming together
lest we be caught in great deception. However, there is no edict
to set dates and seek endless confirmations of His coming.
Most of these folks seem very sincere, but they will be shown to be
sincerely wrong. I can't imagine the need to continually confirm
His words to them if they truly believe. We all need to remain
focused on the mission Jesus gave to all of us; to seek and save
the lost. I saw one video where a person was ringing a bell and
acting giddy. How sad that we have lost the heart of God towards
the lost and are absorbed with ourselves. I would not hold The
Lord back for one heartbeat, but I will occupy until He comes or calls
me home.
Stay devoted to the Word and prayer. You will be fine. One piece
of advice. When these people are shown to be in error, please stop
listening to them. Just pray they will return with a whole heart and
mind to God and His mission.
I do not know Brother Marcus, but his videos are worth a listen.
God bless you Janie. I pray you will keep the faith always.
