He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding; —Daniel 2:21
Judgment will soon fall on America. We will not be able to live in ignorance of what is happening around the world for much longer.
For those of you who are not Christians, I assure you that hell is real (I urge you to watch the videos at the bottom of this post). All men are appointed one life and then judgment. There is no karma, there is no re-incarnation, there is nothing that you can do of your own power that will save you from the coming tribulation. God is telling you that there is a different way! God yearns to scoop you up into His arms and heal all of your pain and sorrow, but to do so, you must humble yourself, repent from your heart, and accept that Jesus truly is the son of God and that he already died for your sins. Then forgive all others as you have been freely forgiven. It really is that easy. You don't have to meditate, do yoga, or chant. Just understand that God is a holy God. You will be born new, your broken spirit will be healed, and you will be able to once again commune with God through the power of the Holy Spirit that is given to all who are born again as a down-payment of the full salvation that is yet to come. Don't worry about this doctrine or that; don't get caught up in the semantics for now, just devote time in your life to truly pursue Jesus. Just give Him a try — "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matt. 11:30)
There is no religion—protestant or other—that can save you. Christianity is NOT a religion. Religion is man's fallen attempt at conforming to the law, but I just told you that there is no way to be saved through your own power, that's the new-age Luciferian lie that has swept this nation. Christianity is about God's supernatural work of regeneration in your spirit and soul. It will have the effect of awakening you to His love, and once you drink of those waters of life, there is no way that your life can't bear fruit.
You might think that you don't need to be fixed, you are living a pretty good life, you haven't killed anyone after all. However, there is nothing that will remain hidden; your heart is completely exposed to God. He is not a God of dualities, of light and dark, far from it! There is no darkness in Him. (1 John 1:5) No matter how good you think you live your life, your heart of hearts screams out blasphemes and hatred toward God and your fellow man. Your heart of hearts bows to no one and lives only for self content. When you simply humble yourself and repent of your sins, realizing the ENORMOUS IMPOSSIBILITY of ever living a perfect life on your own, then you will start to truly understand the importance of Jesus' sacrificial death for our sins. Then God can and will physically and supernaturally repair your broken spirit. He will teach you how to LOVE His laws and your life will soon show it. Do not be discouraged or disillusioned by all of those who call themselves Christians, but are still in love with the world. "Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." (1 John 2:15) If this is the "Christianity" you have encountered throughout life, then you have been deceived, as have they.
For all of you who call yourselves Christians, but are still living lives full of debauchery and worldly pleasure, living only for yourselves: Judgment will come upon the church first. Don't you understand that if you still enjoy doing the things of this world, you were never born again? That you are still not saved? You aren't even a Christian. Your "religious views" status on Facebook does not determine your salvation, I assure you. The term "Christian" came from the outside world calling the people who followed Jesus "Christians". How did they know that they were so? Because it was obvious: their lives showed it! They lived at odds with the world; they lived against the grain of society and they were persecuted terribly for it. Would the same be true today? Do people see your faith through your actions? Or do they just see drunken photos of you on your Facebook, or all of your posts about your worldly obsessions? It is a very different thing to know of God, and then to actually know God in your heart. I guarantee you that they have very different outcomes, and your life shows it like an open book.
Repent while there is still time! Give your lives to God so that you can save others from the pit before it is too late. We are to be lights unto the world, but can a blind man lead another blind man? Or will they both fall into a pit? Jesus sent us out into the world to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. In Job, God says that to discern evil and turn from it is understanding. Revelation says to come out of Babylon lest you partake of her plagues. If you are to endure these end times as a Christian, you must turn to God and to His Word like never before. Start opening your eyes to the deception that is all around you in all of the activities that the world puts in front of you. "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge" (Hos 4:6)
We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. — Hebrews 5:11-12
The world will hate you, and soon the world will kill your body, and those who professed to be Christian while it was still "easy" will all fall away. But do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matt. 10:28) Those who endure will stand with the Son of God when He comes to put all things under His feet! So I encourage you to keep your lamps full and endure!
Please, I urge you all to search your heart and ask yourself if you would be ready, should death find you right now unawares.
It is not God's desire that any of His little lambs should be lost. "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up."(James 4:10)
You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. —Psalm 16:11
