1 Thessalonians 2:14 For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God’s churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own people the same things those churches suffered from the Jews
1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

Romans 3:22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,
Galatians 3:22 But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,  Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God — I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.   But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit. You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.   And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? ³² He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?  Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.  Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died —more than that, who was raised to life —is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.  John 1:12, 5:15, Romans 8:28-34,  Romans 5:1,Col 1:13-14 ^,Hebrews 4:16

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them.  You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.  Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
1John 5:16-18  Galatians 4:7Philippians 4:7 Philippians 4:13

Ephesians 1:18-20:  I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength  he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,

“Hear My Voice”

There will be a great up shaking
For the Lord is a consuming fire
Look, the Lord comes
Weep you people
Cry out Quickly
Before your time has run out

The Heavens are His Mighty Throne
And the earth is His footstool
He will slam the Nations with His feet ( I saw wrath)
For the whole world has started to turn from Him
And to the Churches:
How are you reaching the Lost?
Are you bringing them in?
You come to my house and raise your hands,
but you must gather as many as you can.

And the Spirit says: Listen

And I will destroy those who used to worship Me
but now no longer do.
They no longer ask for the Lord’s guidance
or Seek my blessing.

Stand in silence in the presence of the Sovereign Lord,
For the awesome day of the Lord’s judgement is near.

Why have you no respect for me?

Why don’t you tremble in my presence?

I, the Lord, define the ocean’as sandy shoreline
As an everlasting boundary that the waters cannot cross.
The waves may toss and roar,
But they can never pass the boundaries I set.
But my people have stubborn and rebellious hearts.
They have turned away and abandoned me.

They do not say from the heart,
“Let us live in awe of the Lord our God,
For He gives us rain each spring and fall,
Assuring us of a harvest when the times is right.

Your wickedness has deprived you of these wonderful blessings,

Your sin has robbed you of all these good things.

 Listen and pay attention!
Do not be arrogant for the Lord has spoken
Give glory to the Lord your God
Before it is too late.
Acknowledge Him before He brings darkness upon you
Causing you to stumble and fall on the darkening mountains.

And if you still refuse to listen
I will weep alone because of your pride.

STOP AT THE CROSSROADS AND LOOK AROUND
ASK FOR THE OLD GODLY WAY AND WALK IN IT.
TRAVEL IT’S PATH AND
YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.

But you reply, “No, that’s not the path we want!”
I posted watchmen over you who said
“Listen for the sound of the alarm”
But your replied, “No! We won’t pay attention!”

 “Return home, you wayward children”, Says the Lord

 The righteous behavior of righteous people will not save them if they turn to sin, nor will the wicked behavior of wicked people destroy them if they repent and turn from their sins. ¹³ When I tell righteous people that they will live, but then they sin, expecting their past righteousness to save them, then none of their righteous acts will be remembered. I will destroy them for their sins. ¹⁴ And suppose I tell some wicked people that they will surely die, but then they turn from their sins and do what is just and right. ¹⁵ For instance, they might give back a debtor’s security, return what they have stolen, and obey my life-giving laws, no longer doing what is evil. If they do this, then they will surely live and not die.

The Lord says, “ I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
When they call on me, I will answer’
I will be with them in trouble
I will rescue and honor them.
I will reward them with a long life
And give them my salvation.
Zephaniah 1:6, Jer 13:15-17,6:16-20, 3:14, Ez 33:12-16, Ps 91:14

 

The earth and all that are in it are mine!” Saith the Lord
Their ways are perverted and they refuse to listen.
I am the Holy and Powerful God
There is none like me
None before me
None after me
For I am
For my people are rebellious and refuse to listen

And I replied: “Lord, won’t you stir their hearts to hear and obey? Won’t you soften their hearts, will you open their eyes, will you let them see?”

And I heard: They see, but do not. They hear, but won’t listen. I call, but they turn.( 7-23-11)
