Paul McGuire: Behind every political, social, cultural and theological organizational structure is a hyper-dimensional spiritual structure energizes and creates the 3-dimensional physical structure. The Book of Daniel talks about this when it reveals there are territorial spirits controlling the Middle East such as the "Prince of Persia," or the "Prince of Iran." This territorial spirit still controls the Middle East. The arch-Angel, Michael is responsible for watching over Israel. In the invisible realm or parallel universe Satan has an organizational structure of demonic beings. The highest demonic beings are the "kosmokratos."
The Apostle Paul teaches us this in Ephesians 6, "For our fight is not against flesh and blood (people and earthly organizations), but against the principalities, powers and the dark unseen forces of wickedness in heavenly places (parallel universe). That is why spiritual warfare is necessary. Communism, although pretending to be a purely economic and social system, where there is no God, is in reality a spiritual system
 
The most powerful weapons available to the church are not physical, but spiritual weapons!
The Prophet Daniel understood this and so did the Apostle Paul. This is why it is so vital that we pray, fast and reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The authors of the Communist Manifesto chose two different paths. Marx rejected Christianity and became a Satanist. Engels was convicted by the Holy Spirit and became a Christian. You never know who you are leading to Jesus Christ! That person may turn out to have power over entire nations. However, if they received Christ and have the Holy Spirit living inside of them, they will be used by God to advance His Kingdom! It is the same with your children and other children. It is imperative to reach them with the Gospel, because you never know what they will become. You may be winning a President, Prime Minister of future world leader to Christ
 
 Every believer in Jesus Christ is going to stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ and will be rewarded for their part in saving souls, either through what they did directly, or how they partnered with a ministry that was truly winning souls for Christ. At the Judgment Seat of Christ, you will give a full account of what you did with your life for the Lord. Also, you will be held accountable for that which you did purely for yourself.
All believers who trusted in Jesus Christ for their salvation will go to heaven! You do not get into heaven on the basis of your works. However, the Apostle Paul very clearly teaches us that if our faith in Christ is genuine, our life will produce the fruit of good works. At the Judgment Seat of Christ you will be rewarded for the things you did for God, including winning souls for Christ! Some will receive the Soul Winner's Crown! Not everyone is gifted in the area of speaking and leading people in the sinner's prayer. But, you will be rewarded for all the people you prayed for and helping and giving to ministries like this one and others which are truly preaching the Gospel

A lot of people attend big churches and there is nothing wrong with big churches. But, if that church is not winning souls by preaching the full truth, of all of God's Word. Churches which teach people that there are many ways to God, as long as they are sincere, and there is no such thing as hell, are part of the Great Apostasy that the Apostle Paul warned about in the last days. Faithfully preaching the Gospel means speaking the truth in love and teaching on repentance from sins, sin, judgment, the blood, holiness, obeying the Word of God and the need to be "born-again," through faith in Jesus Christ. This is no small thing, if you are a part of, and tithing to a church which is not teaching the truth, than you are under a curse. You are spiritually deceived and it is very possible you are not truly "born-again," because if the Holy Spirit, which is the Spirit of Truth was living inside of you, you inner man or woman, would be grieving when you walked in that church!
I believe that we are in for a big surprise, when we discover upon the Lord's return, that millions of people who claimed to be Christians were never actually saved to begin with. They were never "born-again," and the Holy Spirit never lived inside of them. This explains why so many millions of people around the world, who claim to be Christians, act and believe things that are in direct contradiction to the Word of God. In addition, I think we are going to be in for a rude awakening, when we discover how many people, in so-called Bible believing churches were never actually saved.
The millions of people across the world, who attended church and claimed to be Christians, but never received Christ through faith, are going to stand before the Great White Throne of Judgment, where they will be sentenced to eternity in the lake of fire, along with those who openly rejected Christ
 
True believers are guaranteed salvation through their faith in Christ! But, every true believer will give an account of their lives at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Their faithfulness down here on earth will be rewarded in heaven
 
1 Cor 3:12-13 (KJV) Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is."
The stuff you did for God, like winning souls will withstand the Judgment Seat of Christ as gold, silver and precious stones, which will be rewarded in heaven. The stuff you did not do or the life you lived for self, will be burned up at the Judgment Seat of Christ as wood, hay and stubble. Due to inadequate Bible teaching, many Christians are in for quite a shock. They are saved, but they will be totally accountable for what they did with their lives at the Judgment Seat of Christ. The passage below reveals just how intense this will be. That is why the Bible says, "He who wins souls is wise," because that person is laying up treasures in heaven!
1 Cor 3:15 (KJV) If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire."
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." 2 Corinthians 5:10
 
King James Version (KJV) "But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
So then, every one of us shall give account of himself to God." Romans 14:10-13
THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES AND A BURNING DESIRE TO WIN SOULS TO CHRIST!
The "signs of the times," that Jesus Christ talked about are happening before our eyes here in the U.S. and around the world. Tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, plagues, famines, asteroids, wars, and rumors of wars are increasing. With the prospect of war between Israel and Iran, along with the recent announcement of an Asteroid DA14 threatening the earth in 2013, people's hearts are beginning to open. I believe the Lord is calling us now to help bring in a massive soul harvest
 
 
And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and there will be upon the earth anguish of the nations in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and rolling waves. People fainting from fear and expectation because of what is coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken." Luke 21:25, 26asteroidimpact
 
SOUL WINNING AND THE JUDGMENT SEAT FO CHRIST
The "signs of the times, "are increasing and, we are now moving rapidly into the Great Tribulation Period. It is time to examine ourselves and make sure that are each fulfilling the Great Commission which says in part, "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel. The Bible very clearly teaches that every believer will stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ and give a full account for their lives. That which was done for God will be rewarded in heaven and all the self-centered things in our lives will burn away like wood, hay, and stubble. In addition, God will specifically reward soul winners in heaven. In fact, some will win the soul winner's crown!
How many people have you led to the Lord in your life? Perhaps, you were not the person who did the actual talking and leading a person in prayer, but you partnered with a ministry that does win souls and people really repent of their sins! By partnering with a minister or ministry, you have led people to Christ.
It is important that you clearly understand that you are responsible to win souls for Jesus Christ! That is why Jesus Christ said, "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel." If you are not winning souls, you are in direct disobedience to the Lord. No one knows when their time is up. I will never forget when a college-age woman came to our house with her mother so that my wife and I could talk to her. The mother said she was having problems. At the time, I did not know how serious her mental state was because she acted perfectly fine in front of us. I believe that God sent that young woman to our house. We talked, but we did not get down to the heart of the matter, pray for her, and lead her to Christ.
About a month later, we found out she was dead in the prime of her life. She was seriously depressed and killed herself. When I heard that, it was as if I was stabbed in the heart with a knife. I must confess to you, I was not listening to the Lord when we met her. My mind was preoccupied with other things and I failed to hear the voice of the Lord! There is no question in my mind that God was speaking to me about her and commanding me to minister to her. But, I allowed myself to be lulled to sleep because outwardly she appeared okay. I was shaken deeply and I have repented to the Lord many times, because I was not listening to the Lord!
Do not make the same mistake I made. If God is speaking to you about helping use the "Are You Ready?" DVD series to win souls, then you must obey Him and do it. The Bible says, "He who wins souls is wise."
The Bible emphatically states that there is only one way into heaven and that is through Jesus Christ! All ways do not lead to heaven. Secondly, God is a "fire and brimstone" preacher. Read the Bible. There is a coming day of judgment and a real hell. That is why saving souls is so important. The general spiritual condition of the church in Europe, America, Australia and many other Western-nations is that of the Laodicea Church, where Christ rebuked that church, because they were neither hot nor cold, but lukewarm. Believers that are on fire with the Holy Spirit, have a burning passion for souls. If you do not have a burning passion for souls, than you must get on your knees, repent and ask God to set you on fire and give you a burning passion for souls! This is not a matter of laying a guilt trip on you. This can only happen when you are abiding in the Vine who is Jesus Christ. You can only bear fruit when you are abiding in the Vine. This is not about will power; this is about the power of the Holy Spirit flowing through you because you are abiding in the Vine
The reality is that we live in a time when much of the church does not teach on Bible prophecy or the Book of Revelation. Millions do not know that Jesus Christ warned of pestilences and plagues in the last days. Tragically, much of the church has lost the passion to reach the lost! They have no passion to reach the lost, because they do not teach on heaven and the reality of hel
