A word of explanation: The word “Rapture” refers to the second coming of Jesus when He will come for His Bride. There are those who misunderstand when I say the Bible teaches you must have the Holy Ghost baptism to make the Rapture; they think I mean that no one can go to Heaven without the Holy Ghost baptism. No, I do not believe that it takes the Holy Ghost baptism to go to Heaven. A person who is born of the Spirit of God will go to Heaven. All that it takes to go to Heaven is the new birth, a born-again experience through the blood of Christ. However, more power will be required for us to go to Heaven by way of the Rapture than by way of the grave. We who are alive on the face of the earth when Jesus comes will need something extra; we will need the Holy Ghost baptism before we can be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.

1. Only the Holy Ghost’s Power within Will Change You

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us (Ephesians 3:20). Note that this scripture said, according to the power that worketh in us. It is an impossibility for the power of God to work in you with great force unless you have the Holy Ghost baptism. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you (Acts 1:8). For he [the Holy Ghost] dwelleth with you and shall be in you (John 14:17). The Bible clearly makes the distinction between the Holy Ghost being with a Christian and the Holy Ghost being in a Christian. The Holy Ghost in a person is what will change him at the time of the Rapture.

2. The Obedient Hearts Will Be Taken

And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him (Acts 5:32). He said He would give the Holy Ghost to them that obey Him. You are disobedient when you fail to accept His promise, and He promised the Holy Ghost to you. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call (Acts 2:39). The obedient will seek until they receive the Holy Ghost.

3. Anyone Who Limits God Never Receives His Best

Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel (Psalm 78:41). Israel doubted God, and because of her unbelief she limited God and failed for forty years to go into the land of Canaan. If you doubt God, you will fail to make the Rapture. Anyone who limits God never receives His best. To be caught up to meet the Lord in the air and escape the Tribulation Period would certainly be God’s best. It will be a people that do not limit God with unbelief who are taken.

4. They Received the Holy Ghost and Spoke in Tongues During the Early Rain

Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain (James 5:7). At Pentecost the early rain fell: But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel (Acts 2:16). And…I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh (Joel 2:28). In the early rain during the Early Church period, every gift and fruit of the Spirit was manifested in the Church until the nine gifts and the nine fruits of the Spirit hung as eighteen perfect apples upon the perfect tree. The Early Church is our pattern today. The Early Church had the Holy Ghost baptism with the evidence of speaking with other tongues.

5. You Must Receive the Holy Ghost and Speak in Tongues in the Latter Rain

The Holy Ghost had control and wrought mighty miracles in the midst of the people; then the devil wormed his way into the Church and she lost her power. That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten (Joel 1:4). Joel said this would happen to the Church and it did. For almost 2,000 years God has waited for the harvest of the latter rain; James said he had waited with long patience for it. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you (Joel 2:25). Yes, the Lord said He would restore the power to the Church in the last days. Now that power is here. The latter rain is the power of the Holy Ghost; you cannot be ready for His coming without this power. The Bible says that just before the coming of the Son of God the Holy Ghost would be poured out, not a sprinkle, but a downpour of the Spirit. Why do you think He promised to pour out His Spirit on us in the last days if it were not necessary in our preparation for His coming? Again in Acts 2:18 He said, I will pour out in those days of my Spirit. Whatever keeps you from receiving the Holy Ghost in an age of the downpour of the Spirit will certainly keep you out of the Rapture. No one can be caught up in the Rapture without first receiving the Holy Ghost baptism.

6. Speaking in Tongues Is a Sign That Follows Believers

And these signs shall follow them that believe…they shall speak with new tongues (Mark 16:17). What was one of the signs that followed believers? Speaking in tongues. If one is a complete Bible believer he will receive the Holy Ghost. For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou are judged (Romans 3:3,4). The faith of God surely includes yielding to the Holy Ghost. Believe the Word of God over the theories of man. Teachings against the Holy Ghost baptism are in conflict with the Word of God which states that tongues is one of the signs that shall follow believers.

7. You Must Be an Overcomer: The Holy Ghost Helped Jesus to Be an Overcomer

And he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him (Matthew 3:16). God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power (Acts 10:38). Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God (Revelation 3:10-12). God considered it necessary for Jesus to have the Holy Ghost; and it is vital that you have that power within you, too, if you are to be an overcomer for the Lord. You will have to have the Holy Ghost to be an overcomer. The overcomers only will be taken at Jesus’ return.

8. Jesus Is Coming after a Church without Spot or Wrinkle

That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish (Ephesians 5:27). Only the Holy Ghost can get the spots and wrinkles out. Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners (Song of Solomon 6:10)? This is speaking of the Bride of Christ, a Bride without blemish, fair and beautiful to behold. It will take the Holy Ghost to give the Church such power to conquer, such purity devoid of spots and wrinkles.

9. Jesus Is Coming for Those Who Are Alive in His Spirit

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth (Revelation 3:15,16). Some people claim that all Christians will make the Rapture, but this verse tells us that the lukewarm Christians will be spewed out of His mouth. Notice that they were in Christ, for it says He will spew them out of His mouth. This is not speaking of sinners; sinners cannot be in the mouth of God. Lukewarm Christian, He will spew you into the Tribulation Period.

Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 5:14-20). This is the pattern for the Spirit-filled life; the ones who will be taken in the Rapture will be alive in His Spirit as they await His coming.

10. You Must Have Oil in Your Lamp

We find the story of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1-13. Notice that they are all virgins. The oil in the Scriptures signifies the Holy Ghost; five had the oil of the Holy Ghost and five did not. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him (verse 6). The five foolish virgins took their lamps but no oil, and they said to the wise virgins, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out (verse 8). They had some of the Spirit of the Lord, but they did not have the Holy Ghost, or the oil, that the wise had. After the bridegroom came they tried to get this oil so that they would be acceptable, but it was too late. The Lord said, I say unto you, I know you not (verse 12). In other words Jesus is saying, I don’t know you as my Bride; since you are not a part of the Bride, into the Tribulation Period you must go. Without the oil, the Holy Spirit, you will not be taken in the Rapture. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh (verse 13).

11. The Raptured Saints Will Escape Death

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (I Corinthians 15:51,52). This change is not death. Death will not have a chance at those taken in the Rapture. The Holy Ghost that works within you will change you. On the other hand, Hebrews 9:27 tells us: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Remember there is an appointment of death to every man, but in I Corinthians we are told that some will escape this appointment. How can this be done? By finding favor in the eyes of God through complete yielding to the Holy Ghost.

12. The Rapture Is Apparent in Old Testament Types and Shadows

In the Old Testament we have types and shadows of the Rapture. Enoch walked with God, and God took him (Genesis 5:24). Enoch found favor with God and was caught up. His family was not caught up with him; they had to go the way of the grave. This does not mean they were lost; it means that it takes greater favor with God to go to Heaven alive than to go the way of the grave. Elijah, like Enoch, is also a type of the raptured Christian. Elijah was caught up (II Kings 2:11) while others who loved God were left behind. They did not all go to hell; they simply did not find the favor with God it takes to be caught up. Elisha did not have the miracle power when Elijah was taken, and Elisha was left. Elisha is a type of the Christian who will be left. It takes more to be raptured than to go the way of the grave.

In Genesis, the twenty-fourth chapter, we have another beautiful picture of a type and shadow of the Rapture. Abraham is a type of God and Abraham’s servant a type of the Holy Ghost. Isaac is a type of Christ, and Rebekah is a type of the Bride of Christ. Abraham sent his servant into another country to find a bride for Isaac. The servant of Abraham did not bring back Rebekah’s whole family, but he brought back Rebekah. God sent the Holy Ghost into this world to find a Bride for His Son, Jesus. It takes something very special to be caught away with the Lord. In our day it will take the Holy Ghost baptism.

13. You Must Be Counted Worthy to Escape

Not everybody will make the Rapture, but many will go into the Tribulation Period. And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled (Revelation 6:9-11). This verse is talking about Christians left behind in the Tribulation Period.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man (Luke 21:36). This scripture plainly tells us that only those who are counted worthy will be caught up. Jesus will come as a thief in the night and gather up His jewels (I Thessalonians 5:2); how do you expect to have the sparkle that He requires without the Holy Ghost? Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy (Revelation 3:4). Note the word worthy. This is a Holy Ghost dispensation and everyone who wants can receive the Holy Ghost. How can you be counted worthy in the eyes of God when you are rejecting His power for service? Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost (Acts 7:51). Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away (II Timothy 3:5). When you reject the Holy Ghost you refuse His power (Acts 1:8).

14. The Man Child in the Twelfth Chapter of Revelation Will Be Taken

The woman, in the twelfth chapter of Revelation, is Israel. The man child is the 144,000 spoken of again in the fourteenth chapter of Revelation. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness (Revelation 12:5,6). Out of the millions of Jews in the twelve tribes of Israel, 144,000 are to be caught up to God in the middle of the Tribulation Period. Why are these caught up? These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb (Revelation 14:4). The 144,000, the man child of Revelation 12:5, find favor with God and are caught up while the remaining millions of Jews are left behind, still in the Tribulation Period. Note the 144,000 are all men: These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins (Revelation 14:4). And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God (Revelation 14:5). However, because the main part of the nation of Israel will not be caught up does not mean that they are lost. No, they are saved, but left behind to go through all the tribulation. So it will be with the Gentile nations when Jesus comes for the Gentile Bride; all Gentile Christians will not be caught up, but the bulk of them will go into the Tribulation Period.

15. Just a Few That Are Alive Will Be Caught Up

For many are called, but few are chosen (Matthew 22:14). In Enoch’s day, multitudes dwelt on the face of the earth, but just one man was caught up to be with the Lord. When God destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, four people started out of the city and only three, Lot and his two daughters, made it all the way. Little things can keep you out of the Rapture. Lot’s wife just looked back at the city and was turned to a pillar of salt. Do you think God will excuse you for your disobediences when He did not excuse Lot’s wife? He said He would give the Holy Ghost to them that obey Him (Acts 5:32). Neighbor, obey the Lord as Peter and the other apostles did when they said in Acts 5:29, We ought to obey God rather than men. Remember, in Noah’s day only eight people out of all the multitudes on the face of the earth went into the ark. The others were left to suffer the wrath of God. Those who have not received the Holy Ghost baptism when Jesus comes will remain on earth to suffer the wrath of God also.

16. You Must Have On the Whole Armor of God

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:10,11). How can you be ready for the Rapture without the whole armor? You cannot have the whole armor of God without having the Holy Ghost. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit (Ephesians 6:18). How can you pray in the Holy Spirit when you do not have Him? Paul said, I will pray with the spirit (I Corinthians 14:15). Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God (Romans 8:26,27). Yielding completely to the Holy Ghost gives you the armor of God.

17. Christ Is Your Example

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps (I Peter 2:21). John saw Him receive the Holy Ghost (Matthew 3:16). The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me (Luke 4:18). God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost (Acts 10:38). Every miracle that Christ performed was through the Holy Ghost. Christ had the Holy Ghost when He ascended, and you must have Him to be caught up when Jesus comes. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you (Romans 8:11). You must have the Holy Ghost in you to quicken your mortal body. It was the Holy Ghost that raised Jesus from the dead.

18. Receiving the Holy Ghost Is a Commandment of Christ

And, being assembled together with them, [Jesus] commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence (Acts 1:4,5). If ye love me, keep my commandments (John 14:15). If you don’t love Him enough to keep His commandments, you surely could not love Him enough to be raptured. Peter said in Acts 2:39, For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. The promise is unto you; follow Him all the way. You are commanded to receive the Holy Ghost.

19. A Hunger for God Is a Part of Your Readiness for the Rapture

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled (Matthew 5:6). If you hunger for God, He will give the Holy Ghost to you. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him (Luke 11:11-13)? A hunger for God will compel you to seek Him in His fullness, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost is part of that fullness. The Bible states that God will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask.

20. Speak the Heavenly Language of the Holy Ghost

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment [without the wedding garment he was not worthy to be part of the bridal party]: And he saith unto him, Friend [Jesus called him a friend, not an enemy], how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless (Matthew 22:11,12). He did not have the Holy Ghost; therefore, he did not speak the heavenly language. To be changed and caught up when Jesus comes, you must have on the wedding garment and speak the heavenly language, and this you cannot do unless you have the Holy Ghost. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 22:13). In other words, without the garment of the Holy Ghost which gives heavenly language, he was spewed into the Tribulation Period.

21. Lay Aside All the Weights and Receive the Holy Ghost

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:1,2). Friend, if you lay aside all the weights by looking to Jesus, He will give you the Holy Ghost; for He said in John 14:16, And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh (James 5:8). Lay aside the weights, look to Jesus and continue to look; receive the Holy Ghost.

22. The Holy Ghost Will Give You Faith to Make the Rapture

Contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints (Jude 1:3). The faith that was delivered to the Early Church brought them to the place they were baptized in the Holy Ghost. If we don’t need such faith, why are we told to contend for it? We cannot have the fullness of God’s faith without having the Holy Ghost dwelling within.

23. You Must Have the Fruits of the Spirit That Come through the Holy Ghost

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance (Galatians 5:22,23). To bear the fullness of the nine fruits of the Spirit, one must have the Holy Ghost. There are no apples without an apple tree, no pears without a pear tree, and there are no fruits of the Spirit in your life unless you receive the bearer of those fruits, the Holy Spirit.

24. The Bride Will Accept the Gifts of the Spirit

How can the Bride accept the gifts of the Spirit when she rejects the Holy Ghost who is the giver of the gifts? Rebekah (a type of the Bride) accepted the gifts that Abraham’s servant (a type of the Holy Ghost) offered her. Do you think she would have been accepted as the bride for Isaac had she refused the servant of Abraham and his gifts? Absolutely not. Neither will you be accepted as part of the Bride of Christ if you refuse to accept the Holy Ghost and His gifts.

25. How Shall You Escape If You Neglect the Holy Ghost?

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will (Hebrews 2:1-4)? Paul is writing to Christians; they already have salvation. This great salvation he is telling them about is the Holy Ghost. How shall we escape the Tribulation Period if we neglect so great salavation?

26. You Must Have the Seal of God

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise (Ephesians 1:13). Note that it says after you heard the word of truth, after you believed or were saved, then you were sealed with the Holy Spirit. This seal comes after your conversion. What is the promise? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2.38). Wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence (Acts 1:4,5). You must have the seal of God which is the Holy Ghost if you expect to be taken in the Rapture.

27. Be a Witness to God’s Power through the Holy Ghost

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8). To be a true witness for the Lord, you must have the Holy Ghost. You cannot be a real witness to the greatness of His power without the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It takes great love to be a witness for the Lord and, again, it takes the Holy Ghost to give us this kind of love. The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us (Romans 5:5). Not only will the Holy Ghost help you prepare for the catching-away hour, He will help you give love and witness to others so they, too, can receive God’s fullness.

28. You Cannot Withstand God and Make the Rapture

Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God (Acts 11:17)? If you reject the Holy Ghost baptism you are withstanding God. It is the will of the Lord for you to receive the Holy Ghost. Forbid not to speak with tongues (I Corinthians 14:39). To forbid tongues is withstanding God and failing to be at the place the Holy Ghost can change you in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye at the second coming of the Lord.

29. Be Found Blameless through the Holy Ghost

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless (II Peter 3:14). And unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation (Hebrews 9:28). How can you truly be looking for Him unless you are blameless before Him? Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13). You cannot have the fullness of Christ without receiving the Holy Ghost, neither can you have the fullness unless you are blameless. To be blameless you must walk in the light. If you do not walk in the light, you are not blameless in the eyes of the Lord. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin (I John 1:7). Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin (James 4:17). You will be blameless when you have done all the Lord requires, and that includes receiving the Holy Ghost baptism.

30. Yield to the Holy Ghost or You Will Quench the Spirit

The Holy Ghost is here on a mission to get the Bride ready for the coming of Christ. How can anyone who quenches the Holy Ghost be ready for the Rapture? Quench not the Spirit (I Thessalonians 5:19). Quench means to subdue, suppress, extinguish or make an end of. Some of you have allowed unbelieving preachers and teachers to cause you to quench the Spirit. No one could be ready for the coming of the Lord when he is turning his back on the Holy Ghost baptism for his life. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (I Thessalonians 5:16-23). A person doing these things will receive the Holy Ghost. If you quench the Spirit, there will not be enough of His power working in you to change you when Jesus comes.

God Spoke to Me

Friend, three times God has told me that the people who are alive when Jesus comes will need the Holy Ghost baptism, with the initial evidence of speaking with other tongues, to be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye. God has given numerous scriptures to back up what He said. He also gave me special power for laying on hands for the Holy Ghost just as they had in the Early Church (Acts 8:17 and Acts 19:6). He told me to preach the Holy Ghost to the people. Jesus is soon coming! Don’t let anyone convince you that you do not need this glorious baptism, because without it you will go into the Tribulation Period. After Jesus comes it will be too late to change your mind and escape that devastating period. Humbly, I give you this message as the Lord has given it to me. I can say with Paul, Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God (Acts 20:26,27).
