The Rapture Force

It has come to my attention, that many people have been asking this question all over the net in search engines. I would like to answer you all. There is going to be no rapture in 2009 . The timing is not an answerable question by anyone. Jesus said in Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” Then you ask how can I possibly tell you, I know there will be no rapture in 2009? Well this is how, In Matthew 24 Jesus also tells us in verses 29-31 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. It says “IMMEDIATELY AFTER” those days of tribulation. It does not say before tribulation, Jesus is quite clear here.

Why you might ask, would a loving God want us to go through trials and tribulations? Well personally I know Why America should be tested. We Americans are lazy and we lament about the littlest of trials. We go through something that someone from another country, would feel they were in a spa for the day for,and cant stand it feel we can’t handle it. God is going to test our mettle. He is going to see how much it will take to turn us away from him. We here in America are so not tested and tried as of yet. Our lives are super super easy. Try living in another country,where there is not enough food, no work, no clean water, your not free to speak as you wish. Not free to practice the religion you wish to. Not free to do anything but starve and have no clothing. No housing, not a drop of governmental help. If your found out for practicing a religion your country has not sanctioned, your dead, beaten, or imprisoned.

Also Jesus said in Mark 13:14 we would know the times,in Mark 13:14& Matthew 24:15,16 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: Then in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will “NOT” come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition. The antichrist must first be revealed. I don’t understand how people can confuse this with any thing other than what is exactly in front of your eyes. I have also heard it told that Jesus was speaking to the Jews in Matthew 24:16. Because he says those in Judea? The book of revelations also tells us that Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles.There will be Christians and Jews alike.

All of the new testament is for all of the people in the world. Those who would listen to the calling of the Lord. We must also see the Temple built first in Jerusalem. Otherwise what is the antichrist going to make desolate? Sadly so many people are deceived in this day and age. It is going to be a sad day indeed, for all of these pastors and laymen who adhere to and teach diligently the rapture before the tribulation. When they realize they have been seriuosly sadly deceived themselves, and that they have been a part of satans huge lie. When their congregations depart from them and from God, and they realize they helped satan they are going to be devastated. It is unfortunate but true,even men who have within themselves believed the truth, that it is a prewrath rapture,do not tell anyone . Why? because they would have to lose lot’s of money, “lot’s of money.”

I have recently heard of a Pastor who came to the realization that it is prewrath rapture. Not pretribulation, and he gave up his 20 million dollar a year ministry, because he could not and would not deceive his congregants. That is one heck of a Godly man right there. His elders of his church said sorry can’t have you make us lose all our money and support, from all the people who want to believe in pretrib rapture,as well as make us lose the support of other pretrib teaching churches.

The great falling away the great apostasy,is going to be those who believe with all their hearts the lie that there is a pretribulation rapture. Let’ look at it this way in 2 Timothy 4:3-4 “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables”. What do people want to hear more than any thing else on earth? That they will suffer nothing!! Right? No one wants to hear you may have to die for the cause of Christ. No one wants to hear your loved one may be killed right in front of you. So just because it feels good to your mind,your heart,your itching ears to hear you will suffer nothing,you believe that damnable lie satan has been perpetuating since 1830 something. When you begin to suffer and say to yourselves hey wait I was not supposed to be here for this, don’t you dare turn away from the Lord. Don’t you do that I don’t care what you have to suffer, you need to stick to your first love and remember, It is not God nor his word, nor Jesus that lied to you. No sir, no ma’am, it was satan deceiving the whole world.

Do you really think that Satan is powerful enough to deceive the whole world into thinking UFO’s came and stole people off the earth? He is certainly powerful and definitely crafty, but he has no power over free will. God refuses to step on our free will, why would he allow satan to have control of our free will? Satan can cajole, and talk into, and lie you into doing things, but he cannot make you do anything. He could not force the world to believe that UFO’s came and stole people. Besides there is no secret about the coming of Christ on the clouds with great glory. Nor is it going to be a secret when the heavens are shaken and stars fall and the sun is made black.
The great lie which people are believing around the world is not forced on anyone,it is what they want to hear. 2nd Thess. 2:11 And for this cause GOD shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. Verse 12 states: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

So no darling brothers and sisters from all over the world who have asked this Question. The rapture is not eminent. The rapture could still be years off. We must first see that temple in Israel,we must first see many many terrifying things,and withstand much trials and tribulation. We are in serious need of refinement before we can go home to meet our Father in Heaven. Remember he who endures to the end Matthew 24:13 but those who stand firm to the End shall be saved. Matthew 10:22 You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved. Mark 13:13 You will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name, but those who stand firm to the End will be saved. Luke 8:13 Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
Luke 21:19 “By your endurance you will win your lives. 2 Corinthians 1:7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort. Why would we be comforted if we had not suffered? Be ready Ephesians 6:11 Put on the complete armor of God, so as to be able to stand firm against all the stratagems of the Devil.1 Timothy 6:19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life. 1 Peter 5:9 Withstand him, firm in your faith; knowing that your brethren in other parts of the world are passing through just the same experiences. 1 Peter 5:10 And God, the giver of all grace, who has called you to share His eternal glory, through Christ, after you have suffered for a short time, will Himself make you perfect, firm, and strong. What ? after you have suffered for a short time? Hmmmmm what could that mean?

Stand firm in the Lord no matter what please I implore you since I want to see as least amount of people go to hell as I can. Stand firm in your love and trust of Christ. We who are his own have nothing to fear, not even when or if we are broken and maimed and beaten and tortured. Even unto death stand firm in Christ and your love of him. He will not leave your side during your trials and troubles. Jesus said, “Fear not them that kill the body…Mt. 10:28 Rather, “fear Him who is able to destroy both body and soul in hell.”Mt. 10:29.

In closing let me say be strong,be steady,unmovable,unshakable in the Lord. No matter what you have been taught do not turn away from God when your trials and the tribulation occur. Love God with all your mind,body and soul. Remain my brothers and sisters in Christ always, please!! If someone tells you that they know when the rapture is, they are a liar.

Love in Christ Jesus, Tammy

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
