When I read, "Otherwise, you're just sitting around wallowing in the deteriorating condition of the world." I thought, "Yep, that's me." Sometimes I need a kick in the rear end to wake me up or get me going. Thank you Pastor Jimmy.
Yes Amen! We have to occupy our time doing what is pleasing in his sight, whether it's in his word or spreading it. I hate the satanic news media! They're full of it! Be encouraged brother!
I love your transparency and honesty Bruce! It was hearing other men be vulnerable just by telling the truth that changed my life. It was through hearing those simple statements that I learned it is not a weakness, but a strength.
Man, sometimes I think way too deep, I know! Folks are probably looking at my response and thinking "🤔How in the world did this guy get all that from this?" 🤣 I don't know how but I know from Who...
I listen to many prophecy teachers who, to me, are reliable ones. Amir Tsarfati is one of them. A Messianic Jew, he has strong Biblical knowledge, and has taught that all the Feasts that God ordained, are for Israel, and not us, the Bride of Christ. The rapture is set apart from the feasts, with no known indication of its timing, except, according to 2 Thessalonians 2:7, it will be before the revealing of the Antichrist, which, as we know, his signing of the covenant with Israel will start the tribulation. The first four Feasts, in the Spring, were fulfilled by Jesus in their proper order, and for the Jews. The future three fall Feasts will also be fulfilled by Jesus, with the Feast of Trumpets being in Jesus' return when He sets His feet on the Mount of Olives, with us following on our white horses. Ten days later the Day of Atonement will take place, and then the Feast of Tabernacles, signaling the Millennium. You can listen to his video on YouTube by keying in Behold Israel's Amir Tsarfati: God's Calendar, where he explains it better than I can here. Since we are seeing the impending shadowing of the Tribulation now, we know that the rapture is soon. Sooner than we realize. Always good to be ready, watching, while occupying. May Jesus find us, His Bride, not idle and waiting, but busy doing the work He has called us to do, as His ambassadors. And as all ambassadors, He will remove us to safety just before things get really bad. See you up there, fellow Saints! Maranatha! Jesus IS coming soon!!
Good word, Mary. And I, too, follow Amir. I love his teachings as well. (Also on telegram)
As a matter of fact, Jimmy and Amir are the only two that I learn from outside of my church and what God and the Holy Spirit teach me. My personal walk and relationship have grown to say the least.
I would like to think that there were good intentions behind your comment, but to say “who, to me, are reliable ones” gives the impression that you think that Pastor Jimmy Evans is not. If your preference is for Amir, certainly that’s your choice. However, to post his content on another Pastor’s site, especially when the wording reads as if it is an attack on Pastor Evans’ credibility, is not appropriate. I believe that he is doing an awesome job reaching the world with hope, and his content should be viewed as such, and not diminished.
Pastor Jimmy and Amir I'm sure don't know it all but the sum of all the parts is better than just hearing one angle. You understand that don't you? She wasn't attacking Mr. Evans, just providing another window view from Amir.
I agree. Having a differing viewpoint is not attacking. Many of the pastors on here have slightly differing viewpoints on subjects such as this. Liking someone's opinion is not "hating or disrespecting" another.
Earlier this year some people thought the rapture could occur in May around Purim. I believe Amir thought this made more sense. That didn't happen, so then more people focused on the Feast of Trumpets. Pastor Jimmy believes this makes more sense (no date setting with a specific year). Tom Horn believes the rapture could occur during the Feast of Trumpets, but not until 2025 with the asteroid Apophis scheduled to come "close" to earth 3.5 years later in 2029. David Jeremiah of Turning Point believes the rapture could happen at anytime regardless of the day or year. These pastors have many years of bible prophecy studies and do the best they can to help us be ready. Especially with all of the signs around us with evil, droughts, increase natural disasters, etc.. Not only do I agree with you on being respectful to a pastor on their website, but I think we shouldn't be too harsh because they don't necessarily agree on the timing when each of these particular pastors gives us very good biblical information. Like Pastor Jimmy Evans says, plan as if you will live to be 100, but be ready for Jesus today. GBU
Hi Mary, great summary of how Amir views the Fall Feasts and the Rapture. I have been following Amir for a couple of years now and I find his teaching very helpful as well, especially his Middle-East updates. There seems to be a gradual coming together recently of the great endtimes teachers of our day, from the Biblical Prophets point of view. A joining of hands of sorts. I think this is a good thing as their voice is stronger together, although every one still very unique with God given differences. The Church needs good, strong, leadership right now as they work to discern right from wrong, and Biblical Truth from untruth, especially in the are of Prophecy, and judgment for sin in particular. Time is short. They all agree on that. And apparently we still have a while to go (although it could be any second) until the Church is where she needs to be before the Father says it’s time. This should be an interesting year, if the Lord tarries. The Church will grow up, I suspect. The Jews will start to look up. And many will get saved... 🌻
Amen Kris!! I sure wish I could be a part of your women’s Bible study group! Your wisdom is so encouraging— you’re the one who told me about Amir & the Heaven book!!! I agree— watching this incredible unique group of end times teachers has been life changing for me. Hope you have a restful weekend getting ready for bus 🚌 evangelizing!!!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼
Hi Kari, ya I remember that. I dropped Amir’s name and you were off and running!! But you never left the home plate because there is no place like home, right here with Jimmy and now with all the other teachers as well!! I remember thinking way back then, that Jimmy and Amir really complimented each other, and I’m glad I can keep tabs on them both! I do believe that the Lord led me to both of them over time and now the field is really growing! Even Jan Markel was on the Show with Jimmy last week! Go Jan!! We are definitely being fed from God’s Word on Bible Prophecy!! Jimmy is so consistent and brings articles on a variety of different subjects. I have learned a lot that I never would have known because of his wider scope. There is no question that Jimmy is in this ministry because God has called him, and the marriage ministry as well. We are honored, and so fortunate to be part of all his wonderful teaching, not to mention the other teachers and guests who are part of the bigger team. Right here on TP, what a wonderful place to be, until the Lord returns!! Yes, great to be resting this weekend. Woke up to the pattering of the rain this morning from Ian. Praying for the poor people who lost so much in Florida. Jesus, help them to set their hearts on You!! 🌻
Thank you, Mary, for what you said. I love Amir Tsarfati, and I trust him so much. I didn't know he taught that the Feasts were for Israel and not for the church. Learning that was so helpful to my soul and my psyche.
What an honor for Gentiles to celebrate alongside. Yes, Jimmy believes the Groom will return for His bride on Rosh Hashanah, but always says Jesus can come any second…any day. It’s our special blessing to love & honor Israel. Amir is a Messianic Jew and appreciate the fact that he & Jimmy are friends (it’s a small endtimes world 😉) and both have their own unique ministries. They may not always agree on certain theology details, but we can keep an open heart as we learn from these godly men. Both amazing teachers believe in the pre-trib rapture.🙌🏼🙌🏼 I’m soaking up so much new information from Pastor Mark, Pastor Greg, Pastor Billy, and all the incredible teachers who have contributed to the Tipping Point. I can’t wait to see who pastor Jimmy has on his next show! 💛🙌🏼🤸♀️
Pastor Jimmy Evan's reasoning does make a lot of sense for the rapture to occur during Rosh Hashanah. Jesus is the Jewish messiah even though so many of them have yet to recognize it, with us Christians being the extension of the Jewish people through Jesus. Only God knows for sure which pastor is correct with their logic. We won't know until we are at the marriage supper. At least everyone can agree on the fact that we are at the end....of the end times and Jesus is coming sooner than people realize. I'm ready now, but will do my part to spread the gospel of Jesus until the long awaited day. GBU 😉
Yesss to the Jews first!🇮🇱🤍💙 Paul says, “But there will be glory and honor and peace from God for all who do good—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile.” Romans 2:10
As many others I was disappointed that Jesus did not come to rapture his church. This may sound silly but I was worried about leaving my pets behind as I knew my family would go also. I felt both disappointment and relief. I have continued my daily study of Jesus just like before. I thought about the Roe vs Wade decision and the coming elections. Maybe the Lord is giving us another chance to get it right and bring more people to Jesus. Jimmy, I take much comfort from your teachings and I look forward to each morning to read your posts. Until that day I will continue as before. Today Florida needs an outpouring of prayer and blessings. Blessings to all.
Marantha Jimmy and thank you for this message. We have a home in Punta Gorda that was spared. There is no power or water. Many places are devastated and truthfully, I was hoping for the rapture before Ian made landfall. I will trust in God's sovereignty and timing and keep singing "God is sooooo good"
Glad that your place was spared. I haven't watched much news lately. The pictures that I seen on news flashes sure looked familiar from my perspective.
I want to thank you pastor Jimmy for giving biblical insight on the truths of Gods Words from the Bible. I thank God thru my Lord Jesus, that I know more now than I have ever known about biblical prophecy. When I first became a pastor over 18 years ago, my first Bible Study was about was “Jesus is Coming back,” many were confused as to why was I teaching about that. Coming into a rural country (African American Church) you are supposed to preaching about the love of God making people shout) But God has always given me the direction to talk about why we should be prepared and to be watchful for Jesus coming back soon. And graciously the church has embraced the doctrinal truths about Jesus is coming back, because Soon to us is not the same soon for God. It could have only been two days for the almighty but 2000 years for us. You have mentioned all the reasons why God timing is not our timing, which you are so right. God has a way that is mighty sweet, as my grandmother used to say. I still live with the expectation that Jesus could come at anytime, so while I have time. I will make sure everyone I know will know that they know who Jesus is.
I don't know what happened yesterday but I was demonically bird bombed with anxiety and temporary depression 🙃. Hit me like a ton of Egyptian mud bricks! Update today...it's Friday fellow tipsters! I woke up at 3:15 rested and in my turn on coffee machine deployment mind! Keep prayed up kiddos. We are one day closer. I'm keeping watch for the thief in the night who comes at a time I think not! My eyes are looking up! You do the same. Love you regular usual suspects! Stay encouraged and don't watch the news! They're LIARS! LATER.
Wow Chris, we had a similar Thursday. Honestly, I cried most of the morning. I felt so much pain and hurt all around me. I’m care taking for my uncle who is terminally sick. His desire to die at home is my commitment to him. It’s so tough to watch. Then just the state of our country and world. Man, I’m ready to go home. I was worn out by the end of day. Then I got a call from one of my sons who has been struggling with anxiety and depression. He’s started doing morning devotionals to combat. Then he suggests, Dad we should do a Bible study together. Wow! It made my day. I’m still ready for the rapture. Thank you Jesus for giving me a fresh new task with my son. Chris, I pray your day and weekend is filled with some joy and peace. We can’t allow Satan to steal our joy and peace no matter what.
Baring your soul only encourages others to do the same Art! Isn't that what we're here for to encourage and pray for others bro! Sounds like your an honest soul, someone God could use to bring em' in! God bless you Art and I hope your weekend is fanflippintastic! See you on the next one! Oh and tell the devil to stick it! Later.
God sent you a reason to be happy and encouragement when you were feeling defeated. Thank God for your son and for that want to have a Bible study. Needful for him and encouraging for you. I pray the Lord gives you strength, courage, and rest.
Yeah I get it. Gotta hit the hay at 7PM to feel somewhat human. But work needs to be done, scripture needs to be assimilated and inculcated, coffee needs to be drunk, so I forge agead.
Funny, strong if nothing else. The cats have a built-in alarm clock and think they're starving but once they get their wet food, they go back to sleep zzzzzz . By then I've had coffee and am wide awake. :(
I can totally relate. It’s 4 for me but then I jump on the elliptical and get moving! On the bus lot by 6am! From there the day is practically half over.... Gotta love those wonderful furry critters.... 🌻
Love, yes, but every time I look into those sweet, innocent faces, I know the wheels are turning and something sinister is going on behind those eyes. They're thinking, always thinking. ;)
You’re right about that. Their little minds never stop. Mysterious they are! But mine are on my schedule because I had to close the bedroom door so I could sleep and when I wake up they get fed. That’s just the way it is. 😂🤣😂
Excellent message!!! Thank you for addressing this, considering the comments made on Wed re how many were disappointed and discouraged. We need to trust God and lean not on our own understanding, because as you said, we only see things from a linear perspective. Jesus fulfilled the first 3 feasts in the spring 'season,' so it's only natural to believe He will fulfill the last 3 in the fall 'season.' These are just my thoughts, but maybe this fulfillment doesn't mean season of the year, i.e., spring, summer, fall, winter, but season (condition of the world) Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24, plus all the other end times signs prophesied we see all converging at the same time.
Sometimes our expectation our hope can take us away from our first love to evangelize. No man knows the day or hour, but we all know the season. Jesus is coming soon, I just want to concentrate on helping others who don't know that true peace of God, to know Him fully. Our only peace in this day and time. Thank you Brother Jimmy many if us expected what you did, but the fact is we are going home soon! Praise God
Needed to read this. I have felt great uneasiness coupled with being more than mildly discouraged this week. We just want to go home, but not yet is the plan I guess.
Thank you Pastor Jimmy for your transparency and your own testimony. I know you never set a date and I too stocked some hope in last week and had brought my tears, worries and self-focus to God in this weeks Wednesday prayer and asked him to search my heart, refocus me toward His Will and who I could reach out to share the gospel with, my immediate family are saved but I have nieces and nephews on my heart and reaching out to them this week to share encouragement and let them know that I’m praying for them. After that teary prayer this week, my Daughter called spontaneously and shared that many younger adults like her are starting to talk about end times on social media seeing the devastation all around them (they are being shaken), people she never thought would be open to God are suddenly wondering…this gives me hope. Later that day, a card from a Church friend came in the mail with scripture and a note of encouragement (Romans 15:13). Later that night I woke up and smelled so many smells from different foods (it was weird), I asked God If the heavens were preparing a feast for us. I will still live my life, keeping my lamp trimmed and ready. I have replenished my peace and hope this week. I’m also praying for Florida and for Israel and for my own city and asking for revival. Maranatha!
I'm agreeing with you in every one of those prayers Angel! Thank you for the encouragement and reminders. Continuing to pray for you, Jesse and the kids, and believing that God is going to pour out and let His glory fall in a way of healing that will draw so many to Him through you. :)
Angel, it’s interesting that you mentioned smelling all different kinds of food because 2 or 3 times lately I’ve been working at my desk (I work from home) and start smelling some kind of food. I stop and try to remember if I have something on the stove but none of these times I had been cooking anything.
Your parents gave you the right name, ANGEL! Something good and something big is getting ready to happen. Looking forward to that day!!! Hallelujah that God is working through your children. How encouraging that is to me.
Thank you for this ministry and much appreciation for all you do... especially your marriage/family ministry. Really liked this message, too! Think some old locker room quotes pounded into me as a young man are fitting for the moment for all of us. When the going gets tough, the tough get going... it's now how you started, it's how you finished. Maranatha!
I picked up my notes from a sermon I heard on YouTube recently from one of the pastors, men of God, I've been watching nonstop recently. Including your sermons and talks, Pastor Jimmy. Those were the four points of what we must be doing til Christ returns.
I also go to my local church everytime the doors are open. Not just go but get involved. There is a big difference in praying and worshipping with like minded believers. I lack social skills, but there is something to be said about feeling the love, peace and unity in church. I went last Wednesday to prayer meeting and was flooded with peace and love and joy(I don't normally do joy:). I have a heavy burden for the children in these last of the last days. I know Jesus loves them all more than I do. His timing is perfect. I wait on the Lord.
Continualy Waiting on God is a discipline I am learning. It is Gloriuos and Challenging. I find in these end days I am looking up more as I wait. Thank you Jimmy for the HOPE you give each day
When I read, "Otherwise, you're just sitting around wallowing in the deteriorating condition of the world." I thought, "Yep, that's me." Sometimes I need a kick in the rear end to wake me up or get me going. Thank you Pastor Jimmy.
Thanks for your honesty Bruce. I too needed to read this and do some much needed self examination. God is good all the time!
Yes Amen! We have to occupy our time doing what is pleasing in his sight, whether it's in his word or spreading it. I hate the satanic news media! They're full of it! Be encouraged brother!
Read the book: Heaven revealed Hell exposed by Donna Rigney, this is an eye opener and shows our responsibility on reaching out to the unsaved❤️🙏
I love your transparency and honesty Bruce! It was hearing other men be vulnerable just by telling the truth that changed my life. It was through hearing those simple statements that I learned it is not a weakness, but a strength.
Man, sometimes I think way too deep, I know! Folks are probably looking at my response and thinking "🤔How in the world did this guy get all that from this?" 🤣 I don't know how but I know from Who...
Thank you for blessing me this morning brother!

Love Amir… and you’re right… the best Bible teachers teach Jesus can return ANYtime for His bride! ☁️🎺🔜
Mary,

If your preference is for Amir, certainly that’s your choice.

You word things so well Chris! You rock! 😊
There you go again! I'm taking needle out of sewing kit and pricking my bloating head!😜. Thanks. I feel so humbled. Really.
Ok now Chris...don't get too big of a head, where you won't talk to us peons anymore. Remember, you've still gotta fit through doorways! 🤣
Haha! Your input is always rich! Love it!
I didn't get the impression Marys post was attacking Pastor Evans. I thought she was just giving another perspective.
Many people post about Amir on this site. I don't view it as an attack on Pastor Evans.
Pastor Evans is doing an awesome job.

Well said Kris! You explained that in a truly wonderful way. 💙
I will check out Tsarfati's vid. Thanks Mary.
Thanks for laying out Amirs point of view
Thank you, Mary, for what you said. I love Amir Tsarfati, and I trust him so much. I didn't know he taught that the Feasts were for Israel and not for the church. Learning that was so helpful to my soul and my psyche.
Hi Shelli, Pastor Jimmy has many posts on Tipping Point that direct us to understanding the “Apple of God’s eye” Israel and that the 7 feasts spring & fall are for Jews and only Jews. Here’s one from 2021 - https://endtimes.substack.com/p/the-rosh-hashanah-rapture-connection and my fav of all - https://endtimes.substack.com/p/israel-and-gods-indestructible-love
What an honor for Gentiles to celebrate alongside. Yes, Jimmy believes the Groom will return for His bride on Rosh Hashanah, but always says Jesus can come any second…any day.

Amen. It's funny to hear people say that Jesus is not the Jewish people's messiah when technically he actually is. 😉
Yesss to the Jews first!🇮🇱🤍💙 Paul says, “But there will be glory and honor and peace from God for all who do good—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile.” Romans 2:10
Amen Mary!!! I love reading this. Brings hope to my heart and thankfulness too.

Marantha Jimmy and thank you for this message. We have a home in Punta Gorda that was spared. There is no power or water. Many places are devastated and truthfully, I was hoping for the rapture before Ian made landfall. I will trust in God's sovereignty and timing and keep singing "God is sooooo good"
Prayers for you and everyone in FL who was affected by Ian.
Praying for y’all Lisa! We spent many years in Sanibel as a family and it’s really painful seeing it so damaged. Punta Gorda is beautiful 💛
Praying for all of you folks in Florida Lisa.
Thank you God for sparing Lisa’s home, maranatha sister
Glad that your place was spared. I haven't watched much news lately. The pictures that I seen on news flashes sure looked familiar from my perspective.

Amen Pastor Utley! 💥
Amen James. Hallelujah to that!

Wow! It made my day. I’m still ready for the rapture. Thank you Jesus for giving me a fresh new task with my son. Chris, I pray your day and weekend is filled with some joy and peace. We can’t allow Satan to steal our joy and peace no matter what.
Oh what a gift and blessing Art! Praying for you and your son that God anoints this time and uses it to bless you both!
Baring your soul only encourages others to do the same Art! Isn't that what we're here for to encourage and pray for others bro! Sounds like your an honest soul, someone God could use to bring em' in! God bless you Art and I hope your weekend is fanflippintastic! See you on the next one! Oh and tell the devil to stick it! Later.
God sent you a reason to be happy and encouragement when you were feeling defeated. Thank God for your son and for that want to have a Bible study. Needful for him and encouraging for you. I pray the Lord gives you strength, courage, and rest.
Ok Pops! A 3:15 wake up! Wow... :)
Yeah I get it. Gotta hit the hay at 7PM to feel somewhat human. But work needs to be done, scripture needs to be assimilated and inculcated, coffee needs to be drunk, so I forge agead.
Or 2 a.m. every day for those owned by cats!
Oh my! :) You and CC must have some really good coffee!
Funny, strong if nothing else. The cats have a built-in alarm clock and think they're starving but once they get their wet food, they go back to sleep zzzzzz . By then I've had coffee and am wide awake. :(
🤨...this reply just made all joy and hope drain from me.
🤔I've always heard God has a sense of humor. What if he only allows instant coffee in heaven as a joke?
I'll be livid. 😡
I can totally relate. It’s 4 for me but then I jump on the elliptical and get moving! On the bus lot by 6am! From there the day is practically half over.... Gotta love those wonderful furry critters.... 🌻
Love, yes, but every time I look into those sweet, innocent faces, I know the wheels are turning and something sinister is going on behind those eyes. They're thinking, always thinking. ;)
You’re right about that. Their little minds never stop. Mysterious they are! But mine are on my schedule because I had to close the bedroom door so I could sleep and when I wake up they get fed. That’s just the way it is. 😂🤣😂
Chris you are too much, praise God for you brother
Plethora is better than dearth! Lol
I love this Chris! You are right, the newcasters are liars. They never broadcast anything about Israel. God bless you.
Now that is a teaching I soooo much wanted to read. Thanks so much for that Jimmy 😊🙏
Thank you Pastor Jimmy. You are a good shepherd.
Excellent message!!! Thank you for addressing this, considering the comments made on Wed re how many were disappointed and discouraged. We need to trust God and lean not on our own understanding, because as you said, we only see things from a linear perspective. Jesus fulfilled the first 3 feasts in the spring 'season,' so it's only natural to believe He will fulfill the last 3 in the fall 'season.' These are just my thoughts, but maybe this fulfillment doesn't mean season of the year, i.e., spring, summer, fall, winter, but season (condition of the world) Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24, plus all the other end times signs prophesied we see all converging at the same time.
Jessica James, you could be absolutely right! Just keep on keeping on until we are out of here!
Amen, Jessica!
Sometimes our expectation our hope can take us away from our first love to evangelize. No man knows the day or hour, but we all know the season. Jesus is coming soon, I just want to concentrate on helping others who don't know that true peace of God, to know Him fully. Our only peace in this day and time. Thank you Brother Jimmy many if us expected what you did, but the fact is we are going home soon! Praise God
Needed to read this. I have felt great uneasiness coupled with being more than mildly discouraged this week. We just want to go home, but not yet is the plan I guess.
❤️
Thank you Pastor Jimmy for your guidance and love and support! We are so grateful for your ministry! Shalom 🙏
Thank you Pastor Jimmy for your transparency and your own testimony. I know you never set a date and I too stocked some hope in last week and had brought my tears, worries and self-focus to God in this weeks Wednesday prayer and asked him to search my heart, refocus me toward His Will and who I could reach out to share the gospel with, my immediate family are saved but I have nieces and nephews on my heart and reaching out to them this week to share encouragement and let them know that I’m praying for them. After that teary prayer this week, my Daughter called spontaneously and shared that many younger adults like her are starting to talk about end times on social media seeing the devastation all around them (they are being shaken), people she never thought would be open to God are suddenly wondering…this gives me hope. Later that day, a card from a Church friend came in the mail with scripture and a note of encouragement (Romans 15:13). Later that night I woke up and smelled so many smells from different foods (it was weird), I asked God If the heavens were preparing a feast for us. I will still live my life, keeping my lamp trimmed and ready. I have replenished my peace and hope this week. I’m also praying for Florida and for Israel and for my own city and asking for revival. Maranatha!
I'm agreeing with you in every one of those prayers Angel! Thank you for the encouragement and reminders. Continuing to pray for you, Jesse and the kids, and believing that God is going to pour out and let His glory fall in a way of healing that will draw so many to Him through you. :)
Thank you Steve! You’ve been an amazing support person and a beaming light of edification and encouragement! God bless you Steve.
Angel, it’s interesting that you mentioned smelling all different kinds of food because 2 or 3 times lately I’ve been working at my desk (I work from home) and start smelling some kind of food. I stop and try to remember if I have something on the stove but none of these times I had been cooking anything.
Your parents gave you the right name, ANGEL! Something good and something big is getting ready to happen. Looking forward to that day!!! Hallelujah that God is working through your children. How encouraging that is to me.
Thank you for this ministry and much appreciation for all you do... especially your marriage/family ministry. Really liked this message, too! Think some old locker room quotes pounded into me as a young man are fitting for the moment for all of us. When the going gets tough, the tough get going... it's now how you started, it's how you finished. Maranatha!
"When the going gets tough"...whew, that's a good word right now, and a great reminder!
PRAY, LOVE, SHARE, SERVE
I picked up my notes from a sermon I heard on YouTube recently from one of the pastors, men of God, I've been watching nonstop recently. Including your sermons and talks, Pastor Jimmy. Those were the four points of what we must be doing til Christ returns.
I also go to my local church everytime the doors are open. Not just go but get involved. There is a big difference in praying and worshipping with like minded believers. I lack social skills, but there is something to be said about feeling the love, peace and unity in church. I went last Wednesday to prayer meeting and was flooded with peace and love and joy(I don't normally do joy:). I have a heavy burden for the children in these last of the last days. I know Jesus loves them all more than I do. His timing is perfect. I wait on the Lord.
Continualy Waiting on God is a discipline I am learning. It is Gloriuos and Challenging. I find in these end days I am looking up more as I wait. Thank you Jimmy for the HOPE you give each day
Amen Lynn!🙌🏼🙌🏼
