Jesus Christ is Calling

It would appear that those of us called the “Watchers on the Wall” are beginning to have more and more evidence for the “Last Days” coming to bear. So then, the real question is…who is listening?

I know that I have written many articles that bear out the words found in 2 Timothy 3:1-7. I also know I am not the only one that has done this; there have been many. And still so very few are paying any attention. The following cases in point will bear this out, simply because this is the news for only one day!

2 Timothy 3:1-7 “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. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

Does this strike you as so very odd that mankind is thinking we are high and mighty, above the gross actions of some; that we have come so far and are so intellectual that we would never find ourselves involved in such things in any manner? And yet, the news declares the opposite.

2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

I have a problem with the part of the above Scripture which says, “That they all might be damned.” The reason for this is because I would like to think that most people are willing to “think before they act!” It is truly sad to know that the majority of the world is in the same boat, running that same course to Eternal Destruction. And again, sadly enough, the news bears out the Truth of God’s Holy Word to you and me. If I didn’t know better, I would be willing to say the world has gone totally insane! What are your thoughts on this?

Truthfully speaking, I am no longer shocked at what people do nowadays. And it hits me time and again: what is truly going through their minds? And then the Bible once again rolls through my mind and I hear:

2 Thessalonians 2:7-10 “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.”

We are there, my friends. We are in the very midst of the Last Days. The Coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is so close at hand! Are you aware that each and every one of us is presently standing at an open door? With one single step we will venture into Eternity. And the Bible tells us that the majority are headed to Eternal Destruction…that only a FEW will find the narrow Gate to Heaven.

It boggles my mind when I think of what most people really want. They want happiness and pleasure, peace and harmony, and above any other…safety. If that is truly the case with them, then why is it they never once pick up a Bible and find out how to obtain those things?

There is only one path to having all that your heart desires…Jesus Christ…in Him ONLY.

I have stated it more times than I am able to count…the Bible is older than 4,700 years. In that space of time, you would think the majority would read it and find the absolute Truth in Jesus Christ. “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you” (Matthew 7:7).

And then to know that these same people will be screaming and complaining that no one ever told them of this! And all that Jesus Christ will need to do is to show them His hands and feet, the wound in His chest, the scars of the crown of thorns on His Head. How utterly sad those minutes will be for so many! They will literally and fully understand that they will suffer for Eternity in Hell and The Lake of Fire.

I hope that they had a really good time while here. I hope that their happiness here will suffice for them, because Eternity is a really long time!

I often hear, “A Loving God would never send anyone to Hell for Eternity!” If God was nothing more than just Love, I would probably agree with them. The truth is this: God is JUST and He is Righteous. If you have never called upon Jesus Christ…Who IS GOD….call upon Him now to cover your sins with His blood from the cross at Calvary.

If you do not Believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, If you do not Believe in His Holy Word to us, the Bible,….then you, my friend, are headed for Hell and the Lake of Fire, and it will last for Eternity. I did NOT say this; GOD did in His Holy Word. “And you can take that to the bank and get cash money on the barrelhead.”

People…you need to wake up! You need to see what is going on around you and then call on Jesus Christ to save you, before it’s too late! Trust me when I say, “Time is way too short!” The Rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ is about to take place. Where you end up after that is all up to you. The facts are staring you in the face…in black and white…the News headlines bear this out.

I can’t wait for the Lord to come and take me Home, right where I belong. Not because of anything I have ever done, but because He Loved me first. And now I Love Him more than this life!

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

In this article, I would like to move away from all the “gloom and doom” of these, our “Last Days,” and write an article in the First Person. I would like to be a witness to the Lord God, in how He shaped and blessed my life. I would like to begin with the passage of Scripture about Him that tells us:

Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”

From the verse, we understand that it was God who created the universe. Yet I often wonder how many people know that God knew each of us before this time. He knew what all of our days, minutes and hours would be and how we would react to everything, by virtue of Him knowing the “intent of our heart.”

Our awesome Lord and God knows absolutely everything in each of our lives from one moment to the next; there is never a question in His mind.

The Lord knew me before I was born, what my names would be and why; and all of it was according to His Perfect Plan for my life. He knew things would be most difficult at times, and yet He chose to tell me He would always be there for me. Scripture tells us this:

Psalms 139:13-14 “For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”

In this passage, I understand that the Lord God created me to be, not an “adopted son,” but to be a “real son” to Him. There was never a moment in His mind that I would fail to declare Him as my God, as my Lord and Savior, my Creator. He knitted me together in my mother’s womb to follow Him and only Him! I have had trials in my life, even times when I thought I would die, and yet He was always there with me and showing me His plan for my life.

2 Kings 19:26-27 “Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up. But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.”

There has never been a single moment when I did not belong to Him. My Lord God created me to perform His pleasure and in His time.

I have done very little good in this life. The only thing I ever did that was what He wanted was when I accepted Him as my Lord and Savior. And that, my friends, is the only thing that truly matters in my life, or in anyone else’s life for that matter. He knew my life would be filled with troubles and discord…and yet He told me:

Matthew 11:28-31 “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

In case no one has ever told you, the Holy Word of God is all about His love for me and for you!

I have had my share of health problems, yet He heals me and keeps me healthy. I have been a smoker since I was 21 years of age, and yet, at 66 years, He has kept my heart in normal condition. I just had a heart cath. to make sure my heart was in good enough condition for gallbladder surgery. With my arteries open and clear, I was indeed able to have the surgery.

This is not something I could ever do for myself; it has been the Lord from the very beginning.

As a matter of fact, I have had a great deal of testing lately: CT scans, echocardiogram, blood work, X-rays; and everything came out “normal!” How does this happen? Only the Lord God knows for sure, and I trust Him with my life and my eternity.

John 4:52-54 “Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.”

There is no greater power than the Lord God! I truly believe it has everything to do with what the Lord God’s perfect plan is—in my life, as well as in yours. I have no other explanation. Trust me when I say, I marveled at His love for me…My Lord God IS enough for me. Do you need more Scripture of proof?

John 5:5-8 “And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.”

As you see, the power of all things belongs to Jesus Christ, Who IS GOD. In all these things, I know that it is because all these people, to include me, BELIEVED in Jesus Christ, to be who HE truly is—GOD.

I know there are people that are wondering, “What about those that are dying or are dead already?” The answer is still Jesus Christ; He is God.

My answer will always be that it does not matter whether it is in life or in death…My Lord and Savior is there…everything is according to His Perfect Will. It does not matter to me; I will always and forever follow my Lord God. This could mean that tomorrow He could allow an asteroid to fall on me; it does not matter. I am in His capable hands! I fervently know where I am going in eternity—Heaven to be with Him—and again, that’s enough for me!

Mark 5:19 “Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.”

So in accordance with the Holy Word of God and as a witness for Him, I have given you an accounting of some things in my life that the Lord God has blessed me with. I am living proof that He is GOD. And if He loves me enough to bless me, then why would you think He would forget about you? The Lord God forgets nothing!

How about you writing of His blessings? Do you know where and when He has worked in your life? Tell us of your witness for Him.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
