In The Blink of an Eye (Video)

If you lived for 125 years, compared to eternity that would only be in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, most live far less than that because of the increase in new diseases, viruses, and other health-related issues. Some have their life ended early because of lawlessness, immorality, and abortion. Others enter death early because of wars, famines, and increasing natural disasters or global warming. Furthermore, over 1 million people die of car accidents every year globally; their lives too have changed in the blink of an eye. We are all dying. Our life span on planet earth is truly in the blink of an eye compared to eternity. After watching this video on my secure website, please share it with everyone you care about. Their eternal life depends on it.

In The Blink of an Eye

If you lived for 125 years, compared to eternity that would only be in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, most live far less than that because of the increase in new diseases, viruses, and other health-related issues. Some have their life ended early because of lawlessness, immorality, and abortion. Others enter death early because of wars, famines, and increasing natural disasters or global warming. Furthermore, over 1 million people die of car accidents every year globally; their lives too have changed in the blink of an eye. We are all dying. Our life span on planet earth is truly in the blink of an eye compared to eternity. Because of the original sin in the Garden of Eden, then we will all die (Genesis 3). While death is inevitable, most try to live their lives to the fullest with no thought of their eventual demise. On the other hand, we can plan for everlasting life now and experience a foretaste of heaven with a joy that’s beyond description. We have all been given a choice to pass on to eternal bliss in the presence of a loving God or to spend eternity separated from God in the fires of hell, which is conditioned on how we respond to the call from heaven. This is one call you don’t want to miss.

Unfortunately, most will miss the call. They will literally run from the good news or be put off by our quest for righteousness in Christ. They simply do not want to give up their beliefs and their so-called freedom to do whatever pleases them. They no longer want to struggle against the constant bombardment of evil thoughts brought on by the powers of darkness. So, they give in to their thoughts allowing it to consume them. Many have already been captured by the spirit of Antichrist that justifies their immoral behavior leading them into a socially accepted life of gross immorality. They have also been led astray to trust in all the new scientific beliefs that have explained away God’s beautiful creation and His order of things. They are being led to trust in Artificial Intelligence to give the correct answer to all things bringing a consensus among fallen humanity, to bring them out of chaos. Many others will consider the calling, then they will abruptly refuse or end the call because they are too busy building their life here on planet earth. They quickly get involved in schooling, new jobs, careers, building their new homes, romance, and starting a family along with many other things. They simply don’t have time to answer the call, yet they have no idea when their life will end. It could end in the blink of an eye.

If we answer the call, then our eyes will be fully opened to see that life on planet Earth is meant to prepare us for eternity. Those who have answered the call and surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ have also realized that being in Christ through faith changes everything. Somehow time seems to stop for those who keep in step with the Spirit, who miraculously opens and closes doors to the glory of God. Our time is joyously spent in prayer and meditation allowing God to grow us from one degree of glory to another. With our new Spiritual eyes, we see things differently. Time is no longer a bondage but real freedom to allow God to set our agenda for each day knowing that it will be different and exciting as we trust in Him exclusively to direct our path. Preparation takes on a whole new dimension realizing that we were not created to live completely alone but to live in a community with others. Face-to-face relationships take precedence over everything. We learn how to truly live with one another by living for others and not for ourselves. The more we master this self-giving agape love the more eternity comes into focus. We experience the glory of heaven on earth.

As we prepare for eternity realizing that our existence on planet earth is only in the blink of an eye, then our love for the world and the things of the world completely changes. We have a great love for God’s creation from the beautiful flowers to the amazing trees and the marvelous bushes. We see all of God’s creatures in a different light as living breathing beings that have a purpose in His beautiful creation. So, forgive me if we talk to the birds and the other little creatures scurrying about along with the beautiful growing plants. There is a new loving respect for all of God’s creation from the pristine rivers and lakes to the tall mountains and deep lush valleys. I am sure all this beauty on earth is just a foretaste of things to come in the new heavens and the new earth. We take a different view of the rest of the world created by self-righteous men. Everything they have made will pass away from cars, houses, monuments, and buildings to clothes and luxury items.  We no longer love the things of the world as our hearts are now filled with a deep love for others and God’s beautiful creation.

Yes, everything will pass away in the blink of an eye. We need to ask ourselves a question. “Are we preparing for the best life possible here knowing that it will end in the blink of an eye or are we preparing for eternity?” The Bible says, “And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” (Philippians 1:9-11). This is a beautiful prayer by the Apostle Paul to live as heavenly citizens with our eyes focused on the eternity. We let our love abound more and more by allowing God’s love to flow through us every time we come into proximity with others. This is not a frivolous, insensitive, and uncaring love but a love full of knowledge and judgment (or discernment). This kind of love is always seeking the best for others. With the eyes of knowledge, we look to meet not their felt needs but their real needs, which are often hidden from public view. With the eyes of Spiritual discernment and a silent prayer, we can detect their real needs to be met. Only with knowledge and discernment can we approve what would be right or excellent in our relationships. As we truly live for others, we have a glorious foretaste of heaven.

Furthermore, this abounding love must always be sincere without making an offense. A sincere love always speaks the truth being careful not to make an offense. This is often a fine line between helping others with a needed admonition without offending them with what might appear as rank cruelty. We must do everything we can to prove that our love is sincere, never meant to hurt and tear down, but to help and build up others in Christ. We will do this continuously until the Day of Christ, compared to eternity it is only in the blink of an eye. The good news is, the more we allow God to love others through us the more we will store up the fruits of righteousness that will remain with us for all eternity to the glory and praise of God. The fruits of righteousness will not only change us but all those around us. As the world sinks deeper and deeper into depravity, our righteousness will appear as a bright light overcoming the darkness. Humanity will repent and come to the light, or they will furiously rise up against us bringing forth horrific persecution. The bright light of our righteousness will either open a door to share the Gospel or it will drive a deeper wedge between us and darkness. In the blink of an eye, we will know where we stand as darkness is revealed.

Take courage dear children, come out from among them knowing that our victory in Christ will come in the blink of an eye. We take confidence in what we believe, knowing that the truth has set us free from all the lies of a fallen world. We have accepted the call of salvation by faith alone, we have accepted the call of faith, the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Son of God, Jesus Christ, in His death on the Cross paid for the sins of the entire world. We have followed Christ in His death on the Cross by dying to self, our old sin nature. As Christ rose from the grave in three days, we too have risen with Christ as a new creation in Christ (II Corinthians 5:17). During our short time on earth we have prepared for eternity every moment of every day by putting off the old life and putting on the new life in Christ (Ephesians 4:17-32). This is our testimony. We know that in a blink of an eye we will be delivered from all the pain and suffering in the world. We look forward to being clothed with our new bodies like the original creation before the fall. We look forward to a deeper and more intimate relationship with God and all of His creation. In the blink of an eye, we will overcome. In the blink of an eye, we will become all that God has called us to become as we step into eternity. All glory to God.

God’s Will is Beyond Logic

Logic has become a popular term in our day that goes by many different names. It has become the culmination of acquired knowledge, wisdom, and the result of many hours of research. It has also been referred to as a sixth sense, the receiving of a gut feeling, or the expression, “it makes sense.” Logic contrary to what we call it allows humanity to make their many choices in life, which is always a gamble that can cause tremendous suffering when wrong choices are made. Although we make hundreds of decisions every day, there are a few that could have profound consequences if the wrong decision is made. Unfortunately, those consequences are not always immediately observable as we see through a glass darkly, limited by time and space (I Corinthians 13:12). Most will do all their homework, run the numbers, and have even done their research, but for fallen humanity, it’s always a gamble. Granted, some of fallen humanity doesn’t even bother doing any kind of research but allows their felt needs to direct their choices in life, even if they know it’s wrong or costly. When humanity removes God from their decision-making or just pays Him lip service, then the consequences can be devastating. So, it’s essential to understand God’s will even if it’s beyond logic.

Unfortunately, we live in a world that has completely removed God from their decision-making by following the spirit of Antichrist. The spirit of Antichrist tells them that they have the power within themselves to make the correct decisions. They are told that all the information is at their fingertips. The spirit of Antichrist says we can have the proper discernment by weighing all the facts. Many of the facts examined are outrageous lies, half-truths, and propaganda or conspiracy theories circulating on the internet. Therefore, discernment becomes a self-imposed logic. This type of thinking has created think tanks of learned men and women that will also examine the history, often changed, the psychological profiles of nations or cultures, and world economics to determine the best course of action for the world to take in its decision-making. Again, God is completely removed from the equation, or He is simply paid lip service by allowing Him to validate their decisions. The will of God is no longer required or sought by most of humanity. Although some Christians may sincerely say that they want to follow God’s will, they are at a complete loss on how to understand it and without understanding His will, then it cannot be effectively followed.

Logic and all that it entails will not allow us to understand God’s will. If you have all the facts that can be observed, you still will not understand God’s will. Without understanding God’s will completely then it is impossible to make the right choice. To understand God’s will, we must look beyond logic by stepping out in faith. If we sincerely pray seeking God’s will, then He will impress His will upon our hearts through His still small voice. The good news is God’s will for our lives will not violate the Holy Scriptures, which is our standard for all of time. God’s will may seem illogical because we cannot see all the facts. Simply put, we cannot see the future, which could adversely affect our decisions. God can see the future because He is already there. Jesus Christ said I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning, and the end. In my personal journey, I have followed God’s will even when it did not appear to be the logical choice. I followed God’s will even if my research told me otherwise. I followed God’s will even if it was against my heartfelt desire. I trusted in God’s loving providence to work out everything to the best for His chosen children. I trusted God because He has shown me multiple times that His will was the best choice even if it was against our human logic.

So, God’s will is truly beyond logic. If we can no longer trust our instincts or our time-honored research, then how can we determine God’s will? We must learn how to listen to the Spirit who will always put us on the right path. Although we may not immediately arrive at the proper choice, we are now on a path keeping in step with the Spirit until the proper choice becomes evident. This is very important to allow God through the Spirit to lead us to the right decision. This is the hardest part for humanity who pridefully wants an immediate decision without waiting. Even many believers have no desire to follow the Spirit one step at a time waiting patiently for God to reveal His will. Most want immediate gratification even if it leads to the wrong decision. On the other hand, if we keep in step with the Spirit, then we soon realize that God opens new doors giving us a completely different perspective. We begin to see things that we never saw before. Also, when we keep in step with the Spirit, He brings to our memory certain Scripture texts that will shine a bright light into our souls, either to validate or nullify our decisions. Every step of the way God will reveal His will in His time and not ours (Isiah 55:8-9).

The Bible says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:2). This takes time. It’s a process. One step at a time we move closer to God allowing Him to transform us by renewing our minds. We are no longer locked into time and space, but we understand that there is a much bigger picture that encompasses all of time. We begin to see everything from a new perspective. Decisions are no longer based on only what we see but on God’s will who knows the future. So, if we can’t see the future, which we can’t, then it always takes faith, believing God knows best even if it seems illogical at the time. In my journey, I have stepped out in faith many times even when the decision seemed illogical, and have been greatly blessed with what I have termed as God’s little miracles. It would be easy to fill up an entire book of these little miracles, but one will suffice. Early on in my ministry when finances were tight, we were faced with a decision about purchasing an expensive new tire (that was not quite the right size, because of its unavailability) or trusting God to make the trip with our old tire. Well, we prayed and trusted God to make the long trip with the old tire, and halfway to our destination the tire blew out, but to our amazement a service station was spotted in the middle of nowhere that had the correct size tire at a much cheaper price. All glory to God for His perfect will.

Dear children, if we trust in God’s loving providence to always lead us to make the right choice, even if it seems illogical at the time, then all of our anxieties will be exchanged for peace that defies understanding. Think of the times in your life when you said, “if I had only known, then my decision would have been different.” God knows, so this should motivate us to always follow His will. Now, let’s take this to a higher level that deals with the entire world and not just our personal choices. Prophecy sheds light on the choices of an entire world. New Testament prophecy is meant to give God’s children direction in every age from the first century until now. The prophecy is not static for only one time in the future, (often misunderstood by the lukewarm church), but is dynamic for the entire end times. So, what does the Revelation prophecy tell us? In every age, there has been the spirit of Antichrist leading God’s children astray to trust in their own logic while the prophecy warns the world that the consequences of their sins are increasing exponentially through world wars, natural disasters, and global pandemics. The spirit of Antichrist has blinded humanity into believing that they have the power to defeat the enemy in their proxy wars, to stop the pandemics by engineering our DNA, and to stop global warming with their latest decisions. Yet, humanity misses the only solution, which is following the will of God through global repentance. For the world, this seems illogical, so they will reject the will of God and suffer the consequences of world war and complete devastation.  Dear children, God’s will is beyond logic. The world must repent now by following God’s will exclusively or face Armageddon.

Let us pray: “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10).

Prepare For The Journey

Every true believer in Christ should prepare for the journey beyond this life, even when we don’t know when it will be. We all know that the journey must come, either at our death or at the coming of the Lord. We also know, if we are honest, it can come at any time, in the twinkling of an eye. We will all make the journey. We will all go to a place to be judged in God’s predetermined time, but only God’s elect children will continue making their journey to the gates of heaven. Only the ones who have been chosen since the foundations of the world will be welcomed into paradise (Ephesians 1:4). Make no mistake, only God’s chosen children will have a deep indescribable desire to prepare for the journey. It is our responsibility to help God’s children to prepare now. We should not take this responsibility lightly. Let us all roll up our sleeves and get to work. If you throw this article down and have no interest in preparing for the journey, then you will be most pitted amongst God’s creation and you will have a most difficult time proving your election. So, please let me encourage you to read this entire article very carefully with much prayer and meditation. Your time is coming much sooner than you think. Continue reading Prepare For The Journey

Pushing the Prophetic Timeline

I have written extensively about the Kings of the East coming against the West, Israel, and the United States in the last Great War or Armageddon. Most know the prophecy that the Antichrist will unite the West and Israel to stand against the Kings of the East in this final war (Revelation 16:13-16). Please see below, “An Open Letter to President Putin and President Zelenskyy,” I sincerely hoped through the giving up of some land for Russia’s land bridge, and the opportunity of NATO membership for Ukraine, then peace could be realized. However, I now see that both parties are not interested in peace, which will unfortunately push the prophetic timeline forward. The prophetic timeline is beginning to unfold when we see Russia trying to enlist other Eastern powers (or Kings) to support their undeclared war against Ukraine and the West. Mr. Putin has spoken to many foreign leaders along with those in his Bloc to win support for the undeclared war. The prophetic timeline is beginning to unfold when the West is wholeheartedly joining in the undeclared war against Russia by supplying advanced weapons, technology, and many crippling sanctions. The prophetic timeline is being aggressively pushed forward to fulfill the prophecy. Continue reading Pushing the Prophetic Timeline
