Is Anyone Keeping Up With This?!?

[ResidentAlien]

There are three things the Lord charges us to do.

1. We are supposed to be good servants in the house of God (the church) watching for His return and giving people their food in the proper season. Prophecies represent 25% of the Bible and "proper season" indicates an awareness of the season we are in and the word that people need.

2. We are supposed to be waiting for the bridegroom with our lamps lit and our vessels filled with oil. This indicates that on a daily basis we are speaking the word and also filled with the word of God.

3. We are supposed to be about the Father's business when the Lord returns. He says "blessed is that servant who when His master returns finds him so doing". I believe that means preaching the gospel, ministering the word, and waking up those who are still sleeping.



On a macro scale, Nothing. On an individual scale you can do everything in your power to make sure those around you are saved, and that refers to complete salvation (the three points I mentioned above). You should also realize that many will not be ready prior to the Antichrist so they need to learn about him and especially to not take the mark of the beast and to prepare their mind to be a martyr.



I don't tell people what they are supposed to do, Jesus is Lord. You are supposed to listen to Jesus and follow Him. I have never recommended either of those actions. I have said that if I were left behind I would become more bold to preach the gospel, not less. I would not be running and hiding hoping to survive an extra year, I think that is foolish. That is the attitude that got you left behind, burying your talent in the backyard.



In my experience preaching the gospel, I talk to about 400 people a month and I find that sharing current events that are taking place that were prophesied in the Bible thousands of years ago strengthens people's faith if it is weak and for those who are unsaved it does help them realize that now is the acceptable day of salvation, now is the time to receive the Lord.



I think by "we" you mean you and I. This is a public forum that anyone can read. I am close to 200,000 people who have visited my blog. I do not presume that they all know this. Yes God told us this because we do need to know it and that is why I share it, this is God's word.



Stir up fear? You just said there is no reason to be afraid since we were told this was going to happen in the Bible?

I speak these things because they confirm the word of God and put mockers and scoffers to shame.

I am not concerned with what you think. I am not concerned with pleasing man. My only concern is with pleasing the Lord Jesus. Besides the evidence about what I am most concerned with is in my blog, there are 7,882 posts, I think those posts completely disprove your theory beyond any reasonable doubt.

You clearly don't get it and probably never will. Sending you to ignore for good.

Flee where? The reference is to Jerusalem.

Good grief man use your imagination. I can lead you to water and yet you cannot drink?
Abraham fled and so did Jacob. On numerous occasions. And did you forget how the early Church was fleeing for its life?
And how Paul was CONSTANTLY fleeing for his life?

I cannot presently find the passage, but I recall Jesus Himself departed a region during His ministry because of the imminent threat of one of the Herod's.

Jhn 12:36
While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

Mat 2:13
And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

I love your Charlie Brown approach to communicating.
I'm not against preparing. But it isn't your preparation that will be your help.
Perhaps you would benefit from reading some encouraging verses. Psalm 23 comes to mind. If you profess the Lord as your Shepherd, why would you assume you will ever be in want? That's the whole point ResidentAlien was making.

Bro.....Psalm 23 was written as a result of the terrible unjust persecutions that David suffered.
This same David who FLED to Philistia and to the wilderness from mountain to valley for years under constant threat of execution.

Striving to live in the midst of devastating loss. Fighting for his life....and SURVIVING!

Maybe you forgot about that part.

Got it.

28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

And yet he lacked for nothing and was never in danger. That's the point. It doesn't matter what circumstances look like, God takes care of His people.
It was the valley of the shadow of death...not the valley of death. God has made provision for our welfare regardless of our perceived estate.

 

[Dude653]

This is really happening.....
BTW.....did you remember to shovel all of those "photon particles" off of your driveway?
Better get to it bro before somebody slips and falls.

You missed the salient point of so many of my posts.

David was NOT sitting on his arse stupefied and motionless like a deer in the headlights. As you and so many others would PRESUME upon hapless helpless Christians. He fled. He fought. He endured. All the while pleading with His Creator.

The flight, fight and right to SURVIVE is the very commonly Biblically endorsed rule and NOT the exception!

Its right there I just posted a ton of passages. Deny it at your peril.

 

[MessengerofTruth]

So what should we do, besides be aware? What can I do to prevent the catastrophe you seem to think is coming? Am I supposed to stockpile weapons and hide in my basement? How does knowing all this improve my relationship with the Lord? We know the mark of the beast will get here eventually; God told us it would.

I'm becoming fully convinced you're a false brother and false prophet. You have nothing to offer other than to stir up fear. You're more concerned with Satan than you are with the Lord.

I believe that he is trying to warn the flock, this is why I share.

We are living in perilous times. And the scripture is clear that the whole world was deceived.

I personally appreciate the watchmen that sound a clear call of warning, so that I know how to pray and seek the LORD for His wisdom to proceed.

David was never in any trouble. God had already declared him king and anointed him. He wasn't going to die before he became king. The rest was all process to make him fit to rule as an ambassador of God.

No he isn't. He's trying to incite fear; and you're not far behind.

Trials commonly become the subject of vacuous, insipid and blithe platitudes from those who have never suffered them.

I love your Charlie Brown approach to communicating.

What do you think this is kid? A cartoon show?

This world is teetering on the brink. Judgement is on the threshold. You want to curl up in a ball and ignore it that's your choice. Certainly not what I am intending to do.

 

[ZNP]

No he isn't. He's trying to incite fear; and you're not far behind.

Jeremiah 14:13 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.

14 Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.

16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.

There is no Christian who knows no trials. Dismissing people because they don't agree with you is also indicative of something.

Some people learn to be thankful in little or alot. Some people have more or less faith. Some people like Habakkuk and Job learned to worship in the most trying of times.

Prepare to your hearts content. Only God provides. Flee to wherever you want. Only God is a refuge and high tower. Have confidence in anything you like. But it is only God who will never leave you or forsake you.

I am well aware of the pertinent Biblical facts. And the Bible never ever says "curl up in a ball and die".

But have at it should you feel it to be the Biblically inspired course of inaction.

As your faith is so be it unto you......

False assumption on your part. I would never curl up in a ball. I'm not against preparing as I already stated. I just won't place my faith in things or people who can fail.
As usual, you assign to me characterizations that aren't true and communicate in condescending terms. Grace and peace.

Then don't preach it. And take a look in the mirror Charlie Brown.

I never called you Charlie Brown...I said your communication style was as such.
I didn't espouse doing nothing. I clearly on multiple occasions supported preparing. That's action. I only pointed out that our hope shouldn't be in what we do, that there is no cause for fear, and that God will help His people.
