The Rapture Force

Disclaimer: Even though there is plenty in this article about homosexuality,I want to make it clear to my readers. I do not endorse, nor condemn homosexuality. It is not my place to judge nor to decide if someone is, or is not worthy of God’s love. God loves each and every one of us with a love we cannot even come close to fathoming. He loves murderers,gay and lesbian,thieves,pastors,just every day average folks,all the same.

In Luke 17 The Lord tells us that things in the times of the end of the age,would be just like the times of Noah,and the flood. As well as the same way they were in Lot’s time, before the Lord utterly destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Evil was rampant on the earth,in those times. God said that the thoughts of men were only evil all of the time, and that man must be destroyed. The Lord was very upset within Himself that He had even made man.

That in itself is just horrifying to me, that God was so upset He felt that He should not have even made man. But let’s take a look at what was going on in Noah’s time,then we will also look at Lot’s times. We will compare those times to the time we live in right now.

And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man: they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying and giving in marriage,until the day Noah entered the Ark and the flood came and destroyed them all.It was the same as happened in the days of Lot..

Luke 17:26,27 26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. 5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
So there was rampant sin on the earth. There was evil so corrupt it made God hurt to His heart that He had made man. The Nephilim which were half man half fallen angel were very evil. The fallen angels were teaching humans all kinds of things the Lord did not want them to know. They were learning things at great speed. We here now, in this time are learning so fast we cannot even keep up with the new technology. Ask any computer tech and they will tell you, it is a constant of being schooled in the latest and greatest technology.

The angels were not supposed to leave their allotted station as spiritual beings. Yet they did. Those angels are now in hell in chains awaiting the special judgment just for them,for their disobedience to the Lords commands for them. This is found in the book of Jude, verse 6 . And angels who did not keep (care for, guard, and hold to) their own first place of power but abandoned their proper dwelling place–these He has reserved in custody in eternal chains (bonds) under the thick gloom of utter darkness until the judgment and doom of the great day.Amplified bible.

The book of Enoch though not one of the books of the bible ,was adhered to by Jewish people for centuries, explains all of this really well. That the fallen angels took on the form of man and had their way with the women of the earth the daughters of man. They taught them many things which the Lord was not willing that the people should know at those times.

We know in the time that we are living in,there is evil a plenty among us,all around us. There is evil on every corner, just waiting to pounce. There is rampant homosexuality, pedophilia, rapes and murders. There is even something called ( and this makes me ill) bestiality,that is a strange lust to be sure. Bestiality is sex with animals. There is abortion, all over the place,and for no other reason than it is inconvenient for the mother to be.

Gen 7 The LORD said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.9 These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God. God will again blot out man. Leaving a mere ten percent of humans whom He will hide away in the very end, of the end of the age time. The reason for the ten percent being left is to recreate the people on the earth during the millennial Kingdom.

LOT
Luke 17:28-33 28 “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything. 32 Remember Lot’s wife! 33 Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.

Jude verse 7 [The wicked are sentenced to suffer] just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the adjacent towns–which likewise gave themselves over to impurity and indulged in unnatural vice and sensual perversity–are laid out [in plain sight] as an exhibit of perpetual punishment [to warn] of everlasting fire.
Unnatural = 1.contrary to the laws or course of nature. 2.at variance with the character or nature of a person, animal, or plant.
3.at variance with what is normal or to be expected: the unnatural atmosphere of the place.

Vice = 1.an immoral or evil habit or practice.
2.immoral conduct; depraved or degrading behavior: a life of vice.
3.sexual immorality, especially prostitution.

The people were engaging in perverse pleasures, unnatural vices in the open where every one could see and partake, if they so chose. There were even children engaging in such perverse acts,which will be explained further in this article.

The most common response to the question “What was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah?” is that it was homosexuality. That is how the term “sodomy” came to be used to refer to anal sex between two men, whether consensual or forced. Clearly, homosexuality was part of why God destroyed the two cities. The men of Sodom and Gomorrah wanted to perform homosexual gang rape on the two angels (who were disguised as men). At the same time, it is not biblical to say that homosexuality was the only reason why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.

Ezekiel 16:49-50 declares, “Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me…” The Hebrew word translated “detestable” refers to something that is morally disgusting and is the exact same word used in Leviticus 18:22 that refers to homosexuality as an “abomination.” Similarly, Jude 7 declares, “…Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion.” So, again, while homosexuality was not the only sin the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah indulged in, it does appear to be the primary reason for the destruction of the cities.

Those who try to explain away the biblical condemnations of homosexuality claim that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was inhospitality. The men of Sodom and Gomorrah were certainly being inhospitable. There is probably nothing more inhospitable than homosexual gang rape. But to say God completely destroyed two cities and all their inhabitants for being inhospitable seriously misses the point. While Sodom and Gomorrah were guilty of many other sins, homosexuality was the reason God poured fiery sulfur on the cities, completely destroying them and all of their inhabitants. To this day, the area where Sodom and Gomorrah were located remains a desolate wasteland. Sodom and Gomorrah serve as a powerful example of how God feels about sin in general, and homosexuality specifically.

Our Times
Today we have sin in all it’s forms all around us. It is getting so that i do not read signs anymore,as I drive down the road. Due to the explicit ads everywhere. I was remarking to my husband today as we drove along look at this look at that man it is pretty disgusting around the world these days. Not only that but the world at large is heating up and chaos is now on it’s way to all parts of the world,coming to an area near you very soon.

Here is the ten commandments and let’s see how many of them are now being looked past.
Exodus 20:2-17 NKJV
1 “I am the Lord your God, you shall have no other gods before Me.
2 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
3 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

4 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

5 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
6 “You shall not murder.
7 “You shall not commit adultery.
8 “You shall not steal.
9 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

Too many, even Christians, have a different god than the biblical God. They have created the god who suits them and their needs. They do not pay attention to the word of God which God assures us is how we get to know Him.
There are idols all over the world of peoples gods. These are not even real gods they are sticks wood and stone. Those are graven images. The Lords name is taken in vain all over the place all over the tv, and in person you hear all the time, people calling out the name of the Lord in swears and just all the time. It is disgusting and He will hold them accountable for it.

Hardly anyone anywhere keeps the Sabbath as holy any more. The sabbath is not Sunday. It is the seventh day which is and always has been Saturday.Honor your father and mother,that one is so seriously not adhered to these days. Kids and even adults alike do not honor their parents. They are the first ones to point out the flaws of their parents.

Murder is every where. There is murder for hire,murderous rages,mass murder, hatred all over the place. Jesus said if you hate someone, it as good as if you murdered them in your heart. Adultery is so bad it is treated as if it is not even a problem these days. Some people these days even commit adultery with their spouses consent. Orgies and such things going on. Jesus said if you lust after someone of the opposite sex it is as good as having committed adultery already. Lust is the ad seller. They use sexual innuendo to sell everything!!

Thievery is also rampant. There are thieves and robbers all over the place. It is getting even worse,and I suspect it will keep getting worse as people begin to starve and go hungry for lack of money,food,and gas. People have lost their jobs, and are now running out of unemployment benefits. The government is saying the unemployment rate has dropped,but if anything it has increased people.

They do not count any longer,those who have exhausted their unemployment benefits as unemployed. Those people are not counted in the unemployment rates. It is lies we are being told. Which takes us to our next sin. Lying is everywhere. It is so bad that you cannot even begin to know what is truth or what is lies according to everyone. Truth is no longer absolute in this world,it is according to liberals,relative. Truth is relative to everyone else. Meaning truth is truth according to ones own beliefs. What a load of garbage that is!

Covetousness is actually jealousy to the point of,people saying within themselves,well how come they have this that or the other thing and I don’t? Why should this person have this life when i don’t? Our government is now actually promoting covetousness. They think it is their job to share the wealth. To basically be some kind of modern day Robin Hood. They want to take people who have worked their tails off to get where they are,and bring them down to a lower level of wealth, so they can take their hard earned money and give it to some sleazy schlep who has never worked a day for it.

Yes our world is not a lovely place any more. We are assured evil would walk among men again in the end times,and it is evident in every moment of our lives. But people here is a warning. It is not half as bad as it is going to be. Often times I have heard folks speak of the old bible times and say they wished they could have been alive in those times. Well grab onto your suspenders and hold on cause here we go. Your going to be alive for the most amazing things to occur as have never occurred before in the history of the world.
May God Bless and watch over you and yours,may He strengthen you all, and may you all find joy in the preparation for the times coming.
We are commanded to love one another as we love the Lord,I am working hard at this particular command,I pray that you all do too.
Love in Christ,Tammy

I do not feel the need to ever make someone come to the Lord through fear and burning. I could not would not lead someone to the Lord by telling them they are going straight to hell unless they repent and turn to the Lord. My way of evangelizing is simply through the witness of my life. I want people to be jealous and zealous for the Lord. Meaning I want them to come to the Lord because they are so jealous of what is inside me, and have to have that for themselves.

I want people to come to the Lord and want to serve Him zealously,with fire in their veins and in their heart. If one comes to the Lord only out of fear, without the Love of God, then I fear that they will adhere more to the law, than to have the Holy spirit, leading them teaching them, and bringing them along. We who have been Christians for a while, know that to follow the law in all of its form, is to stumble and fall. Then one feels that there is nothing but condemnation, and We know that there is no condemnation for those who love the Lord. Romans 8:1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. See walking after the spirit brings no condemnation,it does not say following the laws,it says following after the Spirit.

If your telling them that they must turn or they will burn in hell, what good is it doing them, or yourself? Some people think this is the only way to bring folks to the Lord, but I can tell you from experience, you bring more flies with honey, than you do with vinegar. I share how God has changed my life. I share how when I am going through tough times the Lord sees me through it. I share with them the blessings that come from walking after the Holy Spirit. I share uplifting verses that bring great peace to a hurting and or sorrowful heart.

Romans 11:14 if somehow I might move to jealousy my fellow countrymen and save some of them. Now Paul was talking to the gentiles about the Jews in this particular verse, but I feel we can use it too, to provoke people to jealousy, to want what we have. Which is peace and joy even in the midst of our hardest most trying times. Our witness should be always present no matter our circumstances. We should be praising God in the midst of our sorrow and tests and trials. Letting the world know that strength comes to us, through our sovereign, reining Lord. That His love is never ending, and even better for those who love Him back. God loves each and every person on this earth. He does not want us tearing people apart, and pointing out all of their wrong doings. No He wants to woo them and pursue them and show them His everlasting love.

Not long ago, during some of the hardest times I have had in my married life,the Lord had me speak to a friend who was broken and hurting to the very depths of her soul. During the times that she and I spoke, not once did the Lord give me one single condemning verse to share with her. He gave me every verse that would build her up, and strengthen her, and show her God’s absolute love for her. I am so happy to say that the Lord used me to bring this friend to him. God said Tammy I want her, the very first time we spoke, after about 25 years of not seeing one another. Then He gave me every word to speak into her life,to show her that yes God is there waiting for you to give it all to Him. Give Him your hurt your pain and sorrow. Show your loved ones, your friends,coworkers God’s love, not His wrath. The truth is God does not want to share His wrath with anyone other than satan.

I praise God for showing me that the world is full of hurting broken people and that He wants to turn broken into beautiful. Let us all bring the hurting aching, sorrow filled people to the Lord, with love and encouragement. No matter how tempting it may sometimes be to say to someone who has hurt us, oh your going to hell you rotten so and so. No instead shock and amaze those who hurt you, with love and understanding, compassion and a smile. Share with them the love of God. Understand that this is a hurting soul who is lashing out at you. If you cannot speak to them, then turn and walk away and pray for them.

Peter says do not pay back evil with evil. In 1st Peter 3:9 Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will bless you for it. I don’t know about any of you but I know this, I want, nope, I need to be blessed, I need more to be a blessing to people, but most especially to my precious Lord. It does not say in John 3:16 to hell with you if you don’t believe, it says for God so loved the world (see that loved the world) that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him may not perish but have everlasting life. Let’s bring everyone we can to the Lord with great Love for that is what He is, Love.
Thanks for reading at my site, I love you all and thank the good Lord for you.

I am a Christian, and no I am not surprised by the fact that more and more people are saying that we Christians are hate filled, angry, intolerant, and the worst people on earth. Why am I not surprised by this? Because in the bible in Isaiah The Lord informed us that one day there would be people calling evil good and good evil. This causes us Christians great pain in our hearts. Sometimes that ache feels like our heart is literally breaking apart.

It is not our intention to force our views on anyone. Nor is it our goal to make anyone believe as we do. Our hope is to help people to see our point of view. Our goal is to help people to come to the absolute joy it is to know the Lord personally. To grow in Knowledge and wisdom daily in the Lord. He is our strength, he is our Jehovah Jirah (God our provider). He not only provides all daily needs to those who believe and trust Him to do so. He also fills us to overflowing with blessings, some carnal blessings, most spiritual blessings. He fills us with understanding of Him. He opens our eyes to knowledge of good and evil, that we may know what is good and righteous. We are not any of us perfect,but we are being perfected daily to receive eternity.
We ache to know people are lost. We ache to see people we love going down the winding crooked path, that leads to death. We want for everyone everywhere all peoples of the earth to understand God is LOVE!!! Yes he rebukes and chastens those he loves. Yes he will punish those who do not see what he puts in front of them daily. And that is that He is so wonderfully faithful to those who just believe in Him and trust Him. He says in the bible all things are possible to those who believe. So many people sadly do not see what that means. It is so simple as to be juveniley simple. Just trust Him and believe in Him to do all He said He would do and it all comes to pass.

Our Pastor ,Pastor Jeff Knight is so great at visuals. I always think of his preaching on the Lord telling us just trust and obey me, all the while holding his new baby girl in front of the church. Saying first before we begin, just look on me as God (now no hate mail please I am not God nor do I think I am God this is for visuals sake people). This baby in my arms is you, all of you in the service. He looks in her eyes, to which she opened her eyes and looked into her daddies eyes and he said, I promise you I love you now and always. I promise to always guide and protect you. I promise to Love and cherish you.  All I ask of you is that you trust and obey me, trust and obey me.  He said it many times over and every one in that house of God was enthralled, and I am sure as was I, so was everyone in that house putting themselves in the place of that baby. Putting God in place of that man, and understanding like we have never understood before.God wants to Love and protect you, cherish you, guide you, and lead you down the path of righteousness. Just trust Him and obey Him.
This is why we Christians ache, because we know all too many of our family members and friends, and coworkers, do not understand that God is there for all of you. We ache because rather than being hate filled and intolerant, we are on the contrary, loving and so tolerant it is unreal. We do not tell anyone it is wrong to sin, to hurt them. We point out sins we have ourselves at one time been guilty of. The road to salvation is paved with sinners. Knowing that if people can but see their sin, they can then turn from it. Finally maybe going into the light, turning over a new leaf. Growing in knowledge and wisdom of the Lord, and being fulfilled beyond your wildest imaginings.

Even so many Christians today think their pain is unimaginable to be talked of in such a horrible way. They think this is the persecution Jesus speaks of. I know there is much more to come, much worse than mere words. There will be much more physical pain to come. I pray always that my brothers and sisters in Christ, who believe we are to suffer none of the real persecutions of the body, rather than just of the mind, will stay steady and strong in their first love, which is the Lord. I ache personally to know that so many who think they suffer unbearably now in the USA, have seen nothing yet. That they will indeed turn away from God, thus making it possible for the antichrist to be revealed.

I know so many people who walk a half way walk with the Lord and call themselves true Christians, but the Lord said all of you or none of you. Meaning, he wants all of your life, your every thought, your every moment on how to further His kingdom, and how to walk more righteously with Him. Those halfway Christians will be the first to turn away from Christ in the not so distant future. If you are half way into the Lord then you are none of his. This planet we live on is temporary we all must die. The difference is, we Christians know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are going to live forever more in perfection, and in glory. My daily thanks to the Lord is Lord thank you for being you and showing me yourself. Lord I praise you for all that you have done in me, on me and my life. Lord I thank you for all that you will do in the future, for me with me, and in me.

Today in this state the great lovely state of Washington, our governor apparently put some kind of sign out on one of the city buildings renouncing God, Heaven, hell, and anything to do with religion as a whole. My heart skipped a few beats at that. If we take God out of our state we have nothing. It is so sad to see God being taken out of everything these days. Not so surprising is how much the United states is falling apart. Why because God has been removed from everything. Teachers are fired, kids expelled from schools for saying Jesus, or praying. Coaches of every sport being ridiculed for praying with their teams,as well as fired. People being arrested for praying on sidewalks and in parks. Little do they know we are praying for them to realize since they decided to remove our Lord from all things, how much we have all suffered for it. Never realizing that if they just repented, the things gone wrong would turn around so fast, it would make their heads spin.

Our world is falling apart due to removing God from everything. The earth is rebelling at the sins going on in it. The earth was made by God therefore it was good and that also means Holy. Like God the earth was not made to take sin it hates sin, as much as God does. The earthquakes the waters raging, the signs in the stars and heavens, our very atmosphere is crying out and rebelling or repelling the sin that is in it on it, and surrounding it. The devil has not even come down yet in anger, but he has certainly been busy for centuries anyway. In all that time satan has been planning his take over bid . Just like any corporate raider he has been scheming, planning, devising, his destruction of man kind. Every month it seems there are more and more things science cannot explain going on with our planet, our sun, our entire solar system. This is another reason we Christians ache. Man is destroying themselves allowing evil in all over and do not even come close, to accepting their responsibility for it. Oh yes we ache for the lost who are so blinded by their own understandings.

If people would just give the Lord our God, just three hours of their time, and truly believe in Him, for just three hours, they would be astounded at how much of Himself He would reveal to them. The Joy that is simply unexplainable but must be experienced for ones self. Would make so many cry with it. Not a sad cry, but a joyful, I cannot believe it, better than winning the lottery, kind of joy. Because as cool as winning the lottery would be (even if chances are one in 700 million or so) that is temporary too. We will not need anything in Heaven God is the entire provision. We are Jesus portion and He is our Prize. Oh what Joy that is to know. What God has prepared for us no mind has imagined, no eye has seen, no ear has heard. I know that has got to be something beyond the realm of spectacular. Besides the fact that for eternity there will be no boredom God said behold I make all things new. He did not quantify that. So from my point of view there will be no end to Him making all things new.

God has given this woman a heart to love endlessly. I always ask Him, Lord give me your heart for the other people of this earth, boy does he ever. I no longer look at those people who call us haters, as mean and evil . Now I see them as lost, and so in need of salvation. I am going to hate one day seeing anyone even the worst human being going to hell. I know I am going to seriously need God to wipe away the sorrows, mourning, and tears from my eyes forever more. Because I can almost feel that heartache now. Imagine being surrounded by 100% Love and seeing those we love and care for, or anyone for that matter going to hell? I know we will be understanding that it is just rewards, but that does not mean it is going to hurt us any less.

But there is GOOD NEWS!!!  For every time we are thrown down verbally or physically. For every time we are persecuted for Christs sake, there is a jewel added to our crowns. We must be thankful for our persecution as this grows us and leads to perseverance. We must praise God even in the midst of our worst hardest trials. He blesses us even more for our praise in the midst of our storms. How we react to those storms proves our trust of Him. By trials and tests we are being refined. Do not ever blame God for your trials, rejoice that he thinks us worthy of going through them. God says for he who endures till the end, great is his rewards in Heaven.

Thank you for reading this and sharing in my ache. The fact that I have had readers from all over the world, just makes me want to write more. When someone comments on my articles it just makes my head flood with more articles and thoughts to share. So Thanks everyone for your reading my lessons in this life, and for allowing me to share my thoughts with you.
God Bless and keep you all safe, happy, and healthy in his hands.
Love in Christ Jesus, Tammy
