What does God say about Jesus? What kind of record does He have of providing for the human race? Jesus came the first time bringing salvation to a lost and dying world. His coming was a fulfillment of God’s greatest promise. Now we look forward to the promise of His return. I will come again Jesus said (John 14:3). Those who believe Him are preparing for His return.

Paul writes of the second coming of Christ: For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words (I Thessalonians 4:14-18).

Again and again our minds go to the promise of the Lord’s return; it’s one of our great comforts in this last hour. Our Lord will come. All the endtime signs tell us that His coming is at the door. Soon we will be leaving—we who are saved, baptized in the precious Holy Ghost and obedient to Him. All I see left for the children of God to do is evangelize the world, and then our work will be complete. I pray that we can accomplish what He has laid out for us. Jesus said to go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15).

They Watched Jesus Ascend into Heaven

Jesus did many wonderful things when He walked the earth. The greatness of Him, His power to save, heal and deliver is wonderful, indeed. He brought deliverance for mankind, soul, mind and body, and paid for Earth’s redemption, for the curse that came about because of sin to be lifted.

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also (John 14:1-3). “I will come,” Jesus said. “If I go, I will come.” Did Jesus go? Yes He did. The disciples saw Him go. While they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight (Acts 1:9).

Angelic beings verified the words of Jesus: And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven (Acts 1:10,11).

Jesus had led the disciples out as far as Bethany. Do you believe they really thought He would ascend to Heaven before their very eyes? They had seen Him crucified, His cold body placed in the tomb. They wondered at the empty tomb, and then with great joy, realized that He had risen as He said, conquering death, hell and the grave for them. They saw Him in His glorified body, spent many days with Him, ate with Hm. Now, looking steadfastly toward Heaven as He went up, they watched Him out of sight and heard two angels say that Jesus would come again—the same Jesus, not another—in like manner as they had seen Him go into Heaven. A cloud received Him out of sight. When you look at the clouds, remember that one day Jesus will descend riding on a cloud, and the Bride will be caught up to meet Him in the air. How wonderful!

Let the promise of His return live on the inside of you. Let it pound in your spirit and soul until you come into the love of Jesus in such a way that all His promises will be living reality to you, victory every day on your way to Glory. Jesus is your way out of the Great Tribulation Period.

Every promise Jesus made to the disciples that was to take place in their lifetime, took place. Why should anyone doubt Him now? He kept all of His promises when He was here the first time, and He will keep those promises of the future.

Why Would You Doubt His Coming?

Isaiah the prophet heard about His coming, and even Moses prophesied it. He did come. Just as surely as He came the first time, He will come again. Behold, I show 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. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (I Corinthians 15:51-57). How thrilling to know that the saints who are alive when Jesus comes shall be changed, in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, caught up to be with Him forever! Death will not be able to touch the Bride of Christ; it will be swallowed up by the power of the Holy Ghost through Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. The power of the Holy Ghost will change you who are a part of the bridal company.

“Death, where is thy sting? Grave, you’ve lost your victory concerning me.” The sting of death is sin. It wasn’t the will of God for man ever to die; He didn’t plan death for Adam and Eve. They were to have lived for ever and ever; but man sinned, and sin, the sting of death, entered. Sin made necessary the Ten Commandments, brought about the Law of the Old Testament. Then Jesus came with a new covenant, a covenant of grace. His sacrifice on the Cross to atone for the sin of all mankind took the place of the daily sacrifices under the Law. Now it’s whosoever will, let him come freely to the throne of grace and receive salvation. We praise God who gives us the victory through Jesus Christ! Jesus has given us the victory over all sin and even over death itself. Thank God He won! He is a winner, and we are winners because of Him.

Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation (II Peter 3:4). Scoffers today are asking the same question of doubt. They mock the promise of His coming. For one hundred nineteen years people in Noah’s day heard of the coming flood and didn’t believe it would happen. But in the one hundred twentieth year, the flood came. For one hundred twenty years Noah paid scoffers no attention. Just as the Lord was waiting on Noah to get the ark ready, He is waiting today on us to get the harvest in.

Jesus Will Take the Jewels

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night (II Peter 3:10). The thief comes in quietly and takes the valuables. He doesn’t want trash. When Jesus comes, He will take His priceless children of God with Him, those without spot, wrinkle, blemish or any such thing. The Hope diamond could never begin to compare with the diamonds Jesus will gather at His second coming. His jewels will shine for all eternity.

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ (Titus 2:11-13). Why should you deny ungodliness if it isn’t dangerous and destructive? Righteousness and unrighteousness have nothing in common; light and darkness will not mix. You are told to not only live righteously, but also to live godly. Live holy in this present world. Jesus came so all who accept Him could be delivered from sin and stay delivered.

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure (I John 3:2,3). When Jesus appears, you will see Him as He is. He won’t be a stranger; you will know Him. The Bride will be like Him and with Him for all eternity in all love. Some people say we can’t be like Jesus, but even our bodies will be like His when He comes. For your body to be changed to be like His, your soul first must be changed at Calvary, washed in the blood, and cleansed from all sin and filled with the Holy Ghost. Everyone who has the hope of His second coming can be as pure as He is pure. Would you accuse Jesus of sin? Of course not. If you are not pure, you do not have the hope of being taken in the Rapture.

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus (Revelation 22:20). Some people live in fear of the Lord’s coming. John the Revelator heard Jesus say He would come quickly, and John was ready to go. The Bride will be crying, Come quickly, Lord Jesus! Come quickly! It’s wonderful to know that He is coming to take His Bride out before great tribulation! 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 (Revelation 3:10).

Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation (John 5:28,29). Bodies will rise out of the graves. Between the resurrection of the righteous and the resurrection of the wicked will come the seven-year Tribulation Period and the thousand-year Perfect Age.

The Soul That Sinneth Shall Die

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation (Hebrews 9:27,28). If you expect special company, you clean house, make sure nothing is out of order. Those who are looking for Jesus to come are cleaning house spiritually. He will appear to those who are looking for Him, those without sin.

Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame (Revelation 16:15). Blessed is he that watches and keeps his life free from all sin. If you have anything in your life, one speck of sin, you will be spewed into the Tribulation Period. If you commit sin, you belong to the devil. Do you believe any sin is in the Lord? Of course not. The soul that sinneth, it shall die (Ezekiel 18:20). The Lord denies that the sinner belongs to Him. He gives you power to live free from all sin.

Scripture after scripture state this fact: God will accept no sin. If you are looking for Jesus to come, you will live holy.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (II Peter 3:9). The Lord doesn’t want anyone to be left behind for the Tribulation Period, and He tells how to avoid it.

What manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness (II Peter 3:11)? Sin makes your conversation unholy. You are either holy or unholy, righteous or unrighteous; there is no in-between. You cannot serve two masters. Either the Lord is your Master, your servant, your Good Shepherd who leads you in the paths of righteousness or He isn’t. You cannot walk the paths of righteousness and the paths of sin at the same time.

This Is a Shaking Hour

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken (Luke 21:25,26). We live in a most distressful time. People are tormented with fear. The Lord will shake people with miraculous manifestations. He will shake people through storms, earthquakes, natural disasters. Wars within countries and among countries have displaced thousands and killed thousands more. Pestilences, famines, diseases man has never before heard of are putting fear into hearts.

Just as God’s judgments are falling in different parts of the world, His miracles and healings are taking place on a greater and greater scale each day. God is shaking the heavens to wake up people.

When I was in India, God shook people with His miracle power everywhere I went. Souls turned from their idol gods and came to the true and living God when they saw the blind receive sight and the deaf receive hearing. Manifestations of God gave people a chance at the truth. It’s time for people to see the greatness of God. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh (Luke 21:28).

And as he [Jesus] sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet (Matthew 24:3-6). We see wars, killing throughout the world, yet we must not live with troubled minds. The Bride is getting ready to be taken with Jesus at His coming, and she has the message for the world: These things will happen just before Jesus comes; they are part of the endtime signs, but Jesus has provided the Rapture as a way of escape. Let the signs give you strength, determination to prepare for His coming.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places (Matthew 24:7). We are having earthquakes in places throughout the world. A few years ago, we had an earthquake in Akron, Ohio. I never had dreamed of such a thing! It registered over five on the Richter scale. I thought my refrigerator had gone crazy; it was dancing. A large picture on the wall began to reel and rock. I was looking for Jesus to come, but not for an earthquake.

Doctrines of Devils

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils (I Timothy 4:1). This is the most deceiving of times. Many are being seduced by false doctrines, doctrines of devils. Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry…we have much of that today. Marriage is no longer holy to many people. Marriages take place in dens of iniquity. Some marriages are just outward shows and not even legal. Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth (verses 2,3). If you are going to eat the egg, who not the chicken that laid the egg? Know the truth and be free. The Lord plainly tells us in the New Testament that we are not under the Law. All good food has been given to us if we accept it with thanksgiving.

All these are the beginning of sorrows. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold (Matthew 24:8,11,12). Anyone teaching false doctrine is a false prophet, and we have many today, spitting out all kinds of lies. You think you cannot live free from sin? It’s a false doctrine. You think everyone sins a little? Another false doctrine. Those who claim the baptism in the Holy Ghost is not for today and that the Rapture will never happen are false prophets. Recognize them. Many have lost their first love; it has grown cold; many others are indulging in sin.

Today Is the Day of Salvation

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come (Matthew 24:13,14). When will the end come? After this Gospel is preached to all nations. What Gospel? The Jesus Gospel. How do we recognize the Jesus Gospel? When it’s confirmed with signs, wonders, miracles and healings. Throughout all my Christian journey I have been on my way to preach the Jesus Gospel to the whole world. Jesus can save everyone who wants Him. It’s whosoever will, let him come.

So fast will the Lord come, that there will be no time to be rid of the spots and wrinkles that may remain in your life; they must be out before He comes. Today is the day of salvation; now is the receiving time, the time of preparation, the time to be watching, guarding your life, being full of the Spirit.

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16). If you walk in the Spirit, you won’t take part in sin. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like (Galatians 5:19-21). If you do any of those works, you will have no part in His kingdom. The Lord cannot look on sin. Through Isaiah the prophet, He told Israel, Your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear (Isaiah 59:2). Sin separated Adam and Eve from God, only one sin. One sin will cost you eternal life with God and spew you into a living death in hell. When the Lord saves you, He doesn’t save you one sin at a time. When you receive salvation, all your sins are washed away at once, how wonderful!

No One Knows the Hour

Are you looking for Jesus to come? Do you expect Him to take you with Him? If so, then you must live free from sin and be baptized in the Holy Spirit. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh (Matthew 25:13). Jesus is coming for those who are looking for His glorious appearing. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only (Matthew 24:36). Some people like to predict the time of the coming of Jesus. I wrote a letter to a group who were using my books with their false doctrine that predicted that Lord was coming in the fall. The Lord hadn’t delivered that message to them. The devil likes false doctrine. I told them I didn’t want them using my books or my name, that they were preaching false doctrine. I said the Lord wasn’t coming at the time they claimed—and He didn’t come then. We haven’t evangelized the world yet.

One group is claiming that the Lord will come in three years because that will be the end of “this” generation. The devil wants people to get mixed up by setting a time for the second coming of the Lord. When the Lord doesn’t come, then people decide it’s a fanaticism, the truth and the false doctrine as well. They classify all Christians as idiots. I deny the charge; I’m a child of the King, and I believe in the truth. The truth is what makes your free. And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32). Only God knows the hour that Jesus will return.

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be (Matthew 24:37-39). Noah didn’t know how much time he had to build the ark before the rains would come; he just kept busy because he knew the job needed to be finished. He worked fast, and we are going to work fast, too, to bring in the harvest before the Rapture. We don’t know when Jesus is coming; we only know we live in the season. Those who walk in the light know the season. Life goes on as usual. People marry, eat, drink, live out their lives planning for the future. They assume the world is going to continue for the next hundred years as it has in the past hundred. Then suddenly it will happen. Jesus will come to claim His Bride, and those who are left behind will be thrust into the Tribulation Period, a time that holds unspeakable terror. Jesus has warned us how it will be in the latter days, and now the endtime signs are all around us.

Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left (Matthew 24:40,41). Why will some be left? Because they are not filled with and yielding to the Holy Spirit. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come (verse 42). The Lord said we wouldn’t know the hour. Watch. Expect Him. When you see the endtime signs, know that redemption draweth nigh; it’s even at the door.

Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors (Matthew 24:32,33). When someone is at your door, it is not long before that one steps over the threshold. The coming of the Lord is at the door, thank God! Our Lord cometh! With a voice of triumph we will shout it to the whole world!

The grave wasn’t in the divine plan of God, but Jesus’ second coming is. His saints alive on planet Earth when He comes will be changed in a moment, caught up to be with the Lord forever; cemeteries will have open graves. The lukewarm Christian, the back biter, the gossip will search for the missing Christians but won’t be able to find them. Some people will do their finest praying after the Rapture takes place.

But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh (Matthew 24:43,44). Since you don’t know when Jesus is coming, you must be ready all the time. Stop having fits of anger, of pouting. It’s the devil who pouts, not the Lord. Have you ever been hurt or upset by someone and then punished that one by not speaking? If so, you weren’t using the Spirit of God. The pouting spirit can be catching. Be careful if you are around a person with that spirit. Don’t give that one sympathy; say something good about the Lord and praise His name. The pouting spirit wants to depress both the pouter and the one unwise enough to give attention to that spirit. It’s the wrong spirit.

Perilous Times Are Here

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away (II Timothy 3:1-5). Perilous times are here. Many people are afraid to be out of the house after dark.

Fierce describes many people today, one characteristic of the endtime signs. Fierce means wild, savage, violent, of a cruel nature. We see that cruelty everywhere. Children are abused. All kinds of crimes are committed. To be fierce is to be violent, uncontrolled, very distasteful, disagreeable, bad.

To covet is to desire ardently, especially something another person has, to crave or long for, to be greedy. People are like this today, always wanting something someone else has. They don’t want to work for it; they want to steal, rob. People are killed for just a few dollars. People love self better than they love God or the family.

To seduce means to persuade to do something disloyal, disobedient, to tempt one to do evil, to lead astray, to persuade, to engage in unlawful sexual intercourse, especially for the first time. Boys and girls today are being seduced. Some have had intercourse before they were ten years old, and many before they were fourteen. When I was young, most girls were virgins when they were married, but it’s a different story now.

Boys and girls both are seduced, and they don’t care; they give themselves to the seduction of the devil. To be seduced is to be induced to give up chastity, decency, modesty. The Bible says this is one of the signs of the end of the age.

These endtime signs are around us to the extent that if you are not careful, you will think nothing of them, that everyone accepts them—but not everyone does. There are still a few who are living holy. It’s wonderful to go to your wedding night a virgin, but the devil sneers at that.

Boasters are those showing too much pride and self-satisfaction, glorying in what they do. They don’t glory in the Cross or in the work of God. But when you have Jesus, you have Jesus’ love rather than self love.

Incontinent: What does this word mean? It means without self-restraint, especially in regard to sexual activity. Incontinence is everywhere; people are “shacking up,” degrading themselves with sex, with homosexuality. The Lord said this would be one of our signs; all this degraded mess we have today is like the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, all this devilish filth. Open your eyes to what is going on. You see the qualities Paul is writing about all around you every day.

Don’t miss the Rapture; the coming of the Lord is upon us. We have but a limited time to bring in the harvest. I have mentioned a few of the endtime signs—there are more. Study the signs, the things Jesus said to look for so we would know the season. It makes us realize that we must be about our Father’s business.

Our nation has changed drastically. America is not the same as it was even five years ago. What will five more years bring? Like the Roman Empire, we are decaying on the inside.

Those who don’t serve God hate those who do. Some people worship sports instead of worshipping God. One person said of a sports magazine, “That’s my Bible.” I’m sure it is, the only Bible he lives by. It’s all right to watch a little sports, but sports should never become your God, never keep you out of church.

Would You Deny the Holy Ghost?

Many churches have just a form of worshiping God. They see no miracles, no signs and wonders. You would be better off going to a cemetery on Sunday morning than to hear a preacher say that the days of miracles are over. You know those buried in the graves are dead, but listening to a dead preacher and thinking he is alive can be damaging. He has denied God’s power, denied God’s Word and His manifestations. Anyone who denies the manifestations of God has denied God, denied the works and the baptism of the Holy Ghost, the third person in the Trinity of the Godhead.

Jesus said, And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you (John 14:16,26). Denying the Holy Ghost is denying the one who will live inside you, teach you the things of Jesus. Those who teach against this truth are teaching false doctrine. The scriptures are to be taken together if you are to understand their meaning. Some people, however, take one verse and base a false doctrine on it. No prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation (II Peter 1:20). Take all the scriptures together, the Old Testament scriptures and the New Testament scriptures. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (II Timothy 2:15).

Keep the Faith of Jesus Christ

I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables (II Timothy 4:1-4). Fable…what does this mean? It means a myth; the Word of God is a myth in most of our universities today, a legend, a story untrue, a falsehood, a fictitious tale meant to teach a moral lesson. Even some churches don’t want to hear the truth. The ministers compromise the truth to get people to attend their services. If you compromise to influence people, you have to compromise to keep that influence. The true Church will have people who embrace the whole Word of the living God.

Either Heaven or hell is your destiny. Remember, the soul that sinneth shall die. Salvation and the baptism in the Holy Ghost are for the Christian today. Ministers with itching ears will not live the truth or preach it. They want to hear something pleasant to the ears, something that will not make them feel guilty about living in sin. Turning from the truth, they will accept fables.

Paul writes, But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith (II Timothy 4:5-7). What faith had Paul kept? The faith of Jesus Christ. He had lived according to the truth and had full confidence that henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing (II Timothy 4:8).

Some people claim there won’t be a Rapture, and others claim it won’t happen until the middle of the Tribulation Period. That isn’t what the Bible says. If you have kept the Word of His patience, done everything He desired you to do, walked holy before Him without spot, wrinkle, blemish, the Lord will keep you from the hour of temptation. He will come. Remember this promise found in Revelation: 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 (Revelation 3:10).

Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown (Revelation 3:11). Don’t let the devil rob you of being ready when Jesus comes. That glorious crown of righteousness, holiness and the purity of God is beyond price. Don’t let anyone, no matter how much you love that one, rob you of your crown.

“Come Up Hither!”

John the Revelator is a type of the raptured Bride of Christ. In a vision of the Rapture, John is caught up into Heaven, and shown things that will come. He writes, After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter (Revelation 4:1). “Hereafter” is after the Rapture. John is shown events that will take place in the Tribulation Period.

To be taken in the Rapture, you must be free from all sin, filled with the Spirit. For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself (Philippians 3:20,21). If you don’t have a holy conversation, if it isn’t fit for Heaven, you’re not going to be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye at the second appearance of Jesus.

Matthew 25 tells the parable of the ten virgins, paints a vivid picture of the Rapture. Five were wise, five foolish. Five were taken, five left. The oil in the five wise virgins’ lamps represents the Holy Spirit. The five virgins who had the oil were taken, the five who neglected it were not. They were all virgins, but all didn’t receive the Holy Spirit that the Lord offered them.

You are foolish not to receive all that God has for you; if you neglect the Holy Spirit, one day you will realize how foolish you were.

You who don’t have the baptism in the Holy Ghost, take advantage of this great pouring-out time of the Spirit. You will need more power to go to Heaven in the Rapture than to go by way of the grave. You will be changed at His coming according to the power that worketh within 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). It’s time to check your garments daily, your life.

Remember the scripture: 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). In Heaven we shall ever be with Him, never to part from Him again.

The Lord Saves and Heals

If you are not right with the Lord, you had better hurry home, or you’ll find yourself in the darkest night ever, the Great Tribulation Period. Even today we see the spirit of Antichrist manifested everywhere. The Bible says, Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed (II Thessalonians 2:3). You who are lost and undone, pray the sinners’ prayer with me: Oh, God, I believe your Word. I know Jesus will soon come. Please, God, I don’t want to be left. Save my soul. Forgive me for all my sins. I believe the blood of Jesus washes away all my sins, all my sins. Come on in Jesus; come into my heart. If you meant that prayer, He has come; He is yours. Start reading your Bible and praying. Some fasting will help you.

You who are sick and afflicted, accept my prayer for you. I’m not a healer; Jesus is the healer. I’m a believer in the power of prayer. Lord, I bring the sick and afflicted to you today. I bring the cancer victims, the heart patients, the diabetics and those with other afflictions and diseases. I bring the little ones, the children, those who are disabled or crippled: Heal them in the holy, holy name of Jesus. Heal! in the name of the Lord, the all-powerful name of Jesus Christ!

The miracle power is flowing, going into your bodies if you are believing with me. That power will linger there to get you or yours well. You must not doubt it, for God cannot work with doubt. Why should we ever doubt Him? He has never failed us yet, and He never will. May God’s blessing be yours.

Yea, saith the Spirit of the Lord: I’m in the midst of this people. I’m in the midst of you, preparing you to do my final work in this your last hour. I am here to encourage you, to love you into my service to do all that I want you to do and desire you to do daily. I am here to lift you up above the night and to let you see beyond through my Word that the night cometh, that you have just a short period of time to work, to bring in my harvest. You must not fail, or multitudes will be lost. You must not fail. Today is your day because it’s my day. It’s my day of salvation for everyone who will come to me. It is my day for all to be filled with my Spirit that will obey me. Listen, listen to what the Spirit is saying to you night and day. He is ever reminding you that your Lord cometh. He is ever reminding you that your hour is a late one. He is ever reminding you that you must hurry, hurry to bring in the harvest before it goes to ruin. Lift up your eyes and open your ears, and you will know that you are indeed, that you are indeed in the final hour. And you will know that the coming of your Lord is nigh, even at the door. Look and behold all the signs that I have given in my Holy Word, and they’re all being fulfilled now. Open your hearts as you open your eyes and receive more and more of your Lord so that you can serve all of your Lord to the multitudes. My Gospel must go to all peoples, and then the end will come, saith the Lord.
