Are You Ready For the Marriage Supper of The Lamb?

St. Paul tells us "Do not be conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect." (Romans 12:2). Jesus said "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, pick up his cross and follow me." (Matthew 16:24). This basically means that when we have accepted Christ as Lord and Savior, He has sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in our hearts after which we should follow the Word of God, study that Word and try to live that Word to the best of our ability. We will all fall down and scrape our knees, and we will do it time and time throughout the day, but "God's mercies are new every morning," (Lamentations 3:23), so we can simply ask for forgiveness and we are clean before God again and can keep going!

There are no works we can do, or add up to pay for our sins. Paul said, "For by grace you have been saved through faith - and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9). So this means there is nothing we can do except trust Jesus for our lives and have faith to live the way Jesus would have lived if He hadn't been "The Lamb of God who took away the sin of the world." (John 1:29). 

How is your Christian experience going? I do my best, but I fall down every day! I have to ask God for forgiveness sometimes several times a day! Even Billy Graham says at age 95 that he is a wretched sinner who needs God's forgiveness! Now that is humility! When we realize that we are totally lost without Jesus, we hold on tighter and tighter to Him, especially when things start going south in our lives! Becoming a Christian doesn't mean things will be hunky dorey! Once we get saved, it is very likely that things won't be totally awesome! It's more likely that as young Christians we will be under constant attack by Satan! For "he roams about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour!" (1 Peter 5:8).

I think the parable of the sower answers a lot of questions for me. I've had trouble and fallen away for years at a time during my life. This parable explains why! "A farmer went out to plant some seeds. As he scattered them across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath and the birds came and ate them. Other seeds fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seeds sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow. But the plants soon wilted under the hot sun and since they didn't have deep roots, they died. Other seeds fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants. Still other seeds fell on fertile soil and they produced a crop that was thirty, sixty and even a hundred times as much as he had planted! Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand." (Matthew 13:1-9).

The seeds that fell on the pathway that were eaten by birds represents those who listened to the Gospel and didn't understand it or accept it because the devil comes and snatches away the tiny seed of faith that was planted in their heart. The seeds that fell on the rocky places, sprouted and were wilted by the sun, represent those that receive the message of the Gospel with joy, but because there is no deep roots, they fall away almost immediately. The seed that fell on the soil with thorns represents those who hear the message but the worries of the world choke it out of their minds. The seed that fell on the good soil represents those who received the message, latched onto it and began trying their very best to live for the Lord! (See Matthew 13:18-23).

Which one are you? Even if you think it is too late for you, it's NEVER TOO LATE! But I will say this: Jesus is coming back to take His Bride, the Church, home soon! When we disappear, there will be calamities on the earth like no one has ever seen in the history of this world! MILLIONS WILL BE GONE! There will then be judgments that fall on the inhabitants of the world wiping half of the worlds population out! The anti-christ will come to power with his false prophet and they will rule the world with a one world government and a one world religion! If you won't accept either, they will kill you! If you fall into the deception that comes upon the earth after the Christians are raptured off this rock, and you take the mark of the beast, which no one will be able to buy or sell without, then once you've done that, you're kinda done? God will not accept anyone who takes the mark of the beast into heaven and they will go to hell, and yes, hell DOES EXIST! (See Luke 16:19-31 & Revelation 13:16-18).

It's going to be a devastating time of testing here on earth, and frankly? I don't want anyone I know or love left behind and that includes all who read this blog!  God may be sparing the United States at the moment from the things Jesus talked about in Matthew 24 and Luke 21, but it will not last forever! We have turned our faces from Him! He will not let us live in relative peace and quiet for much longer unless we "repent and turn from our wicked ways," in which case He will "heal our land!" (2 Chronicles 7:14).

It's time to put our spiritual goggles on again! It's time to repent from our sins and turn back to God in this country or we will most certainly be doomed! Please take the time to read these scriptures and pray about them? For time is very short! All the bible prophecy guys are saying it could happen any minute! I don't want you or anyone else to be left here! I have been praying for everyone the world over who reads this blog, and it's not mine, it's God's blog! He helps me write it! (You didn't think I was really that brilliant did you? lol).

Latch back onto Jesus. He is waiting for you! He wants you in good standing with Him and His father, for "Whoever denies me before men, I will also deny before my Father, who is in heaven." (Matthew 10:33).

Won't you ask Jesus into your heart or re-commit your life to Him today? It's never too late to start again! I have to start again several times a day! It's not shameful, it's NECESSARY for me to live! I want to live eternally with Jesus and I want to be a part of the celebration in heaven called "The Marriage Supper of the Lamb." (Revelation 16:6-9).

Don't you?
