But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Hebrews 11:6
This is no time for fear. This is the time for faith, for taking God at His Word because when we take Him at His Word, He shows up. He’s a rewarder of faith. The more fear I face, the more I learn of His matchless love for me. How exciting and wonderful is that?
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6:6-12
And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
Mark 4:19
The ultimate deceitfulness of riches is taking the Mark of the Beast (666) because you’ve trusted in money rather than God, made money an idol, and become its slave.
About two weeks ago, I was sharing with Annie about getting the word out to as many people as possible about what Bill Gates is up to and how it relates to “Biosecurity and Politics.” I could tell I was beginning to take on some “care,” the very thing God is desiring to remove from my life by casting all of it on Him. That’s when He spoke to my heart, “Son, you need to let some people go to hell.” Wow.
I talked with a man the other day who told me he can’t believe how fast the end times are coming on the earth – I could tell he was really heavy about it so I tried to encourage him in the Lord. He went on to tell me a man at his church who has a very successful business will take whatever “Mark” Bill Gates demands we take to continue doing his business. The business owner’s wife feels differently and feels they should not take the Mark. Amazing. A “Christian” who is willing to take the Mark just so he can continue his successful business.
What a time we live in.
If Christians are raptured before the tribulation period begins, they will leave everything on earth behind – all possessions, money, their position in life, you name it.
If the Mark of the Beast (666) is given out half way through the Bible’s seven year tribulation period, once the Mark is distributed, people have just 3.5 years at the most before Jesus’ second coming. That means that people who decide to take the Mark are trading all of eternity for just 3.5 more years – and, those 3.5 years will be the most difficult time the earth has ever endured.
About two weeks ago, the Lord began to change me in a new way. He began to really encourage me about facing the end times. He told me the end times are here and to be joyful about it because I’d soon be with Him – “looking up” became new to me. He told me to face all fears with courage just like so many in the Bible times (Joshua and Caleb, Esther, Ruth, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, the Apostle Paul, and on and on including our own names as we stand on His promises.) did and that He would meet me with His overwhelming courage and faith. It’s amazing to look forward to fear because you anticipate His great faith showing up. He is so faithful. He’s truly overcome the world.
Be strong and of a good courage…Only be thou strong and very courageous…Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: For the Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest…Only be strong and of a good courage.
From Joshua 1
19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.
Isaiah 59:19
Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:11-13
Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
Luke 12:15
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Matthew 24:13
17 then we who 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. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:17-18
Thanking and praising Him in all things because He’s no wonderful and worthy of all praise,
Mark
