Are You Ready?
Are You Ready?
There was a man that was caught in the middle of a flood, He was standing on the roof of his house trying to stay above the rising water. He prayed to the Lord to save him.
A boat came by and asked the man, “if he would like to come into his boat and he would take him to the dry ground?” the man answered, “no the Lord will save me!”
The man once again asked, “the Lord to save him!” Along came a man in a canoe and offer him a place in his canoe. Once again the man answered and said, “the Lord will save me!"
The water is starting to come to the roof of his house and the man cried out, “Save me Lord!” Then along came a helicopter and the pilot called down to the man and said, "He has plenty of room on board.” Again the man said, “the Lord will save me!”
The water over took the man and he died, when he got to Heaven the man stood before the Lord and said, Lord, “I asked for you to save me, and you let me drown.” The Lord answered the man, “I sent a boat and you refused the help, I sent a canoe and yet you refused again, I finally sent you a helicopter and yet you refused to get on board. What more could I've done?
My wife sent me this today on facebook and I believe it makes my story I just told you applicable.
This is a Post From A Pastor:
I trust God and I wear my seatbelt
I trust God and I wear a motorcycle helmet
God, gave man the ability to chose for ourselves.
I trust God and there are enough life jackets in the boat for everyone on board
I trust God and I use oven mitts with really hot dishes
I trust God and I lock my house at night
I trust God and I have smoke detectors in my house
I trust God and I take my prescribed medicines
I trust God and I will follow the best guidelines to share the task of flattening the curve
Acting with caution and wisdom does not indicate a lack of trust in God.God, gave man the ability to chose for ourselves.
The problem is making the right choices.
Many times we ask God to save us from certain doom, and His answer is right before you.
Many people are worried and afraid of this Corona Virus, that is impacting the world.
I say, “People needs to be worried about going to Hell!”
Many preachers; including the baptist preachers, are not preaching about Hell anymore.
They are not preaching on Sin anymore.
They sugar coating the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and preach what the people want to here.
God is love!
God is good!
God wouldn’t send you to Hell because you made a few mistakes!
I can a sure you of this.
God is Love!
God is Good!
But, God is Holy and He hates Sin. and I can a sure you that if you died right this second without knowing the Lord Jesus Christ as you personal savior, then yes, God will allow you to go to Hell for punishment for your sins and the rejection of His Son Jesus Christ, but it was your choice.
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
4. Only the shed Blood of Jesus Christ can cleanse us from our sins.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1 John
We need to call as it is.
We are nothing but,
Dirty
Rotten
Stinking
Sinners, deserving of Hell’s Fire.
None of us are perfect.
None of us are sinless.
None of us is righteous.
People aren’t taking their Spiritual Death serious.
You say, “What is a Spiritual Death?”
Simply putting it in terms everyone can understand.
It is a personal relationship separation from God, that man once had until Adam sinned in the garden.
Spiritual Death is also known as the Second Death.
The Government is doing a good job of warning people about the Corona Virus.
They are telling people to limit contact with one another.
Wash your hands.
Wear protective mask when going out.
Get screened if you have certain symptoms.
If you have any questions call the Corona Virus Hot-Line.
I’m 54 years old, and have talked with people older then myself and we all agreed that, We have never seen people react they way they are doing for this virus.
People scared to death.
Stores and businesses closing.
Flights canceled.
Borders closed.
Schools, University’s, and sadly even, Churches closing their doors.
Hospitals full to capacity.
Shortage of health workers.
Shortage of supplies.
I went to Walmart the other day to get a few groceries. It was total kayos. most of the shelves were empty. no eggs, milk, bread, toilet paper, paper towels.

Seeing all this has gotten me to see things in another light.

If pastors, and born again Christian would warn people of the “Sin Virus”. like the government is doing for the “Corona Virus”. Maybe there would be a shortage of King James Bibles in the Bookstores. Instead of the hospitals being full of sick patients, the churches would be full of people wanting to worship the Lord and learn more about Him. Instead of a shortage of health care workers, there would be a shortage of Gospel Preaching Pastors and Christian Workers.
Strike that, We do have a shortage of Gospel Preaching Pastors and Christian worker, because if we had enough of them, then people wouldn’t be dying going to Hell like they are now, because we are failing to witness to others.
All this craziness that we have been witnessing. Going on in our country and the world today. Has me thinking that, this is how the last days is going to look like after the Rapture.
The Rapture, when billions of Born Again Christians will simply vanish from the world to meet the Lord Jesus Christ in the clouds.
The governments of the world are going to respond similar too the way they are with the Corona Virus.
People are going to be scared to death.
There’s going to be shortages of food and supplies because of fear.
Businesses and Stores will be closing.
Schools and universities will be closed
All Flights will be cancelled.
The Militaries of the world will be on alert.
I have a question for you today.
Are You Ready?
Prophecy in the Bible is 100% accurate.
It has never been wrong.
There is only one prophecy left in the Bible and that’s the End Times.
No man, no angel, not even God’s only Son knows when the Rapture will happen. Only God the Father Knows.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Matthew 24:
The Lord has given us warning signs to watch for so, we will know when the End is Near.
But like the warning of this Corona Virus, some people reject it.
They are not taking the warning serious.
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2 Timothy
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, 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.
2 Peter 3:
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
2 Corinthians 11:
3 And as he 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?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 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.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
3 And as he 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?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 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.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 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.
We can truly see the signs of the end times.
Matthew 24:3-
My question again is “Are You Ready?”
Matthew 24
1 Thessalonians
16 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:
17 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.
That’s the Rapture.
Are You Ready?
The only way you can be ready is by accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior.
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.
John 3;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans
Again I’m asking, “ Are your ready?”
Let me say this, If you reject the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior, it is by your choice.
No one elses.
You chose hell for yourself.
If you end up in hell you go as a trespasser, because hell was made for the devil and his angels.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Matthew 25
I want to say this in closing.
Don’t believe those movies about the Rapture.
What they don’t tell you is, that if you have heard the True Gospel of Jesus Christ, you cannot accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior after the Rapture.
That’s right! You can’t reject Jesus Christ to see if the Rapture really happens and then believe on Him.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2 Thessalonians
I can promise you without a doubt, that the Rapture is going to happen.
People who never heard the gospel will be able to get saved.
But, If you’re listening to my voice this morning.
You have heard the True Gospel of Jesus Christ.
And that’s the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The death, he died on the cross for your sins
He was Buried
And he arose on the 3rd day winning the victory over sin and death.
And if you belief on Him, He will give you Eternal Salvation.
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
i Corinthians 15: 1-
My final question, “ARE YOU READY?”
It is hard giving an invitation over the internet.
But, I wouldn’t be doing my job, if I don’t.
If you answered my question your is I’m not sure if your ready, I’m asking that you call me and let me share with you. How you can be ready.
If you have any doubts in your mind, call me and let me help relieve your doubts.
If your in need of prayer, just respond in the commits or you can call me.
