Word For 2/6/2022

 

“For, Behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but The LORD shall arise upon you and His Glory shall be seen upon you.” Isaiah 60:2

“At times GOD puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him.”

Oswald Chambers

 

“When Faced with a CHALLENGE, LOOK for A WAY, Not A WAY OUT!”

John 16:33 “I have told You ALL This so that You May HAVE PEACE IN ME. Here on earth You will have MANY Trials and Sorrows. But TAKE HEART because I Have OVERCOME the World.”

“DON’T Defend Your OBSTACLES, ELIMINATE Them!”

Be Encouraged, Pastor Bob Harris

 

There is a divide that is getting bigger in The Church; the divide between those Christians who are looking for the good life and the rapture, and those who believe that the Church is going to go through the Great Tribulation. The problem is not the two separate doctrines, the problem is the division in the Church because of the two different doctrines, like the separation in the Church over other doctrines.

 

The Gospel is the Good News of Salvation through JESUS CHRIST by Faith and Confession (John 1:10-14, 3:13-21; Romans 10:5-10). Everything else (all doctrine) will enhance or denigrate the faith of the Believer, but not keep them out of Heaven; if the believer truly has Faith in JESUS, has confessed their sins and repented of their sinful lifestyle. JESUS was adamant that there is to be no division in His Body (Psalm 133; Ephesians 4:1-16; 1 John 4:1-5:5).

 

Salvation is not about correct doctrine it is about Faith in JESUS and Confession of JESUS as LORD and Savior.

Seek GOD First!

GOD Bless, Bob & Charlene

 

P.S.

I believe that the Church is going to go through the Great Tribulation; because of 1 Corinthians 15, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11 and Revelation 11 and 14-20. 1 Corinthians 15:52 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16 plus a few others are the scriptures used by those who believe that the Church will be raptured before the Tribulation or at least in the middle before things get really bad.

The problem is that in Revelation 11:15 the Last Trumpet (the Seventh Trumpet) sounds, Revelation 14:14-20 is the reaping of the earth’s harvest by Christ and the reaping of the grapes of the earth into the winepress of GOD’s wrath by an angel. Chapters 15 and 16 are the third Woe and the 7 bowl judgments, chapters 17 and 18 are the destruction of Babylon, chapter 19 is the battle of Armageddon and Chapter 20 is the resurrection of the dead in CHRIST who died during the Tribulation and the establishment of JESUS’ 1000 year reign over the nations of the earth from Jerusalem. All of these events happen on the day of the Seventh Trumpet.

 

Don’t take my word for it, “Study to show yourself approved, rightly dividing The Word of GOD!” Romans 12:1-2; 2 Timothy 2:14-16, 3:12-17; Hebrews 5:12-6:3; 1 Peter 2:1-3
