These are trying times for Christians today as we observe the ever-increasing demonic evil manifesting itself more and more on a local, national, and world basis. The good news is that the rapture of Christians prior to the terrible great tribulation period on earth is getting closer and closer with each passing day. Exactly when, we do not know.
The bad news is that these current days in which we find ourselves living will continue to become increasingly evil, chaotic, crazy, and scary as we all continue to personally witness and experience more and more of the last days ‘signs of the end times’ as recorded in the Bible. The culmination of these prophetic signs will result first in the ‘Rapture’ of Christians from the earth, followed by the seven-year great tribulation period dominated by the beastly anti-Christ, and then the physical return of Jesus Christ to begin His thousand-year reign upon the earth.
The Bible describes the latter-day prophetic signs as ‘birth pangs’ (as in childbirth) with pauses in between the signs, and these signs will continue to increase in frequency and intensity until the Rapture occurs. Before that takes place, all humanity, including Christians, will have to contend with and struggle through this current period of ever-increasing Satanic ‘lies and deception and sinning’ on a worldwide basis, including corruption at all levels of society, culture, religion, politics, economics, and media, etc.
The signs are indeed becoming more frequent and intense. Open a Bible and read the prophetic signs. It is obvious the end of our current ‘church age’ is getting closer with every passing year, month, and day.
The Rapture is the next major prophetic event on the horizon.
Despite these fearful days Christians find themselves in at the current time and even more so in the near future, individually, you can help calm your anxieties by ‘lifting up’ your daily prayers to God—and ‘laying down’ your fears, worries, and cares at the feet of Jesus Christ—rejoicing in the fact that as Christians we have the power of the Holy Spirit living and working within us to help us through all the trials and tribulations we will face in this earthly life. We can rest in the fact that our great and awesome Creator God is in control of all human events moving forward.
Once you have placed your trust in God’s divine direction and protection for your daily Christian walk, you will find yourself praising God in ‘everything’ for the grace and mercy He provides in this life.
Praise God, Praise God!
From the bottom of my heart
No burden too great He’ll let me bear.
Praise God, Praise God!
From the bottom of my heart
I know how much He really cares.

GOD WILL PROVIDE
By Dale V. Nobbman
God will provide for you
Whatever it may be you need
In His own perfect timing
At just the right time
God will respond to your need
According to His Will
God will deliver you
Not perhaps at the time you desire
Only at the time He deems best
God will provide for you
In just the right way
According to His Will
Be it courage or strength
Healing, a friend, or wisdom
Food, money, or a miracle
At just the right time
God will meet your need
According to His Will
God will freely provide you
His grace, mercy and love
Put your faith in His provisions
Simply make your requests known
And put your trust in God
Then pray for His Will to be done
