I appreciate this post and excited to get my new book, Look Up. If you've watched The Chosen Season 3 episode 5 you'll hear Jesus say to the bleeding woman on the ground.... to Look Up!! My whole body broke out in goosebumps. Pastor Jimmy you continue to keep us informed, challenged spiritually, on our toes, and learning the Word of God, allowing us to keep looking up with HOPE! Thank you for working so hard for the Tipping Point family. Y'all, I've been under the weather the past few days... caught a nasty flu bug. Would appreciate your prayers. Texas schools are closed for a few days due to ice & snow! How's everyone doing in their neck of the woods? 💛
Ok, well in this same vain, our new Pastor is preaching a series on overcoming.... It is good, really good, like he’s just figuring it out, but so 10 years ago! I wanted to yell from my pew in the back, if you really want them to overcome in 2023, just tell them to look up because it won’t be much longer!!! Jimmy’s book sounds good. Will order today, and may give away to you know who.... 🌺
My Pastor has left us to go to Arizona and retire. Many are devastated. Anyway. I asked him one Sunday if he believed in the rapture because I hadn't heard him ever teach anything "Endtimes", or about the rapture. He actually started whispering. He said that he did, but that many didn't. Then he walked away. Now I'm waiting for the new Pastor. I'm going to ask him right away what he believes and if he will preach the "Endtimes". If not, I'm going to find me a fearless preacher that teaches the fullness of the Bible. Praise the Lord! God bless y'all!! Love in Christ Jesus! Maranatha
I do believe this year Daniels 70th week will start. 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.
So glad you posted this again about the book. I was on the dreaded A site, but some how got side tracked and purchased other things and didn't even pre order the book . Duhhhh me 🙄😕 !! See how the enemy works. Distraction distraction distraction!! I just pre ordered 👍🏻 ... it will be a good read and a vital resource for those left behind ... after seeing that movie 🎬 its important to have hard copies of precious information.
Can’t wait to get my book! With Iran getting targeted hits, I wonder which will come first - the rapture or Jimmy’s new book. 😂😂
Saw the Left Behind movie yesterday. The theater added 2 additional showings at the same time as ours because they kept selling out. Good movie that my college aged kids really enjoyed. And our son said it answered some questions he has had about the events. Boy, at the end when Kevin Sorbo and Mike Huckabee were speaking there was complete and total silence in the theater. I don’t think anyone moved a muscle for fear of breaking the bond or possibly interrupting someone getting saved. Really good experience and movie. My only complaint was: 3 sold out theater rooms showing the same movie with all finishing within minutes of one another makes for a really long line for the ladies room. 🤪😩
I wasn’t able to go see the Left Behind movie due to my situation at home. I just looked to see if the movie was extended another 4 days here in Houston. No. In a city of over 5 million, the demand for more showings was not created. Closest showing is an hour and half away in a small community named Port Arthur. No wonder I have yet to find a church near me that preaches the end times.
When I’ve shared in my mens groups about Bible prophecy, I usually get blank stares. When I post updates on things I hear in sites like this, crickets. Maybe a few likes.
When I posted yesterday asking for help to the group leader, including my phone number to call me, crickets. No call so far.
I’m so grateful for this community. I love reading your comments and seeing the love shared.
Kari, I pray you feel better soon. Flu bugs can be miserable. Especially for moms who have to keep going for the love of their children. I hope the worst has passed.
May God bless you and your families this week. Gob bless our pastors here at TP. Jesus, weeerrrrreeeee waaaiiitttiiinnngggg! I’m sure the place you’ve prepared looks great! Tell your Dad, or at least ask Him, is it time yet? Lol
Jimmy, in this letter to us, I appreciate how you put it all in perspective by describing that the first time Jesus came, the Jews had been looking for the Messiah for over 400 years. And now here we are looking for His Second coming, but first w/ the voice of the Arch Angel Michael shouting to us “come up here!!” for the Marraige Supper of the Lamb. My point being: your teaching, Jimmy (along with the other great teachers you have allowed to teach) has increased my knowledge, awareness, patients & excitement of our future w/ Christ. I also hope to be one of those still alive when we’re called home.
Kari I too love reading and when in eternity we will be able to read all the books se never could here on earth.
i think of John 21:25 TPT:
"Jesus did countless things that I haven’t included here. And if every one of his works were written down and described one by one, I suppose that the world itself wouldn’t have enough room to contain the books that would have to be written!"
Add to reading my love of writing and photography. Perhaps the Lord will call me to be a photo journalist during the millennium! Oh what photos I would take and articles I could write. More importantly I will be blessed in whatever I am called to do in His Kingdom! Soon Lord, soon!!
Saw my surgeon today and got new marching orders....literally - He wants me to walk as much as I can. Also, I have to wear compression socks to prevent blood clots. Two more weeks of that. Post op is far more involved and active than pre op.
“When you see these things begin to happen, LOOK UP....for your redemption draws near.” (Luke 21:28)
“Waiting eagerly for the redemption of our body.” (Rom. 8:23)
I don't think Jesus is teaching the church to “look up” or wait for her redemption (rapture) before the tribulation, rather after it. He makes this clear where He says the end times church (you) will “see all these things” BEFORE the day and hour of His coming (Mt. 24:33,36). What things? All the events He describes in the Olivet discourse (Mt. 24:4-30). How could the church SEE THEM if she is taken up before the tribulation? Jesus is saying the rapture of the saints happens in conjunction with the second coming, not before the tribulation. Some say that Jesus is talking about “tribulation saints,” those who get saved after the rapture. But scripture makes no distinction between saints. You’re a church saint or you aint.
Matthew 27:52-53. “The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many.”
I’ve never noticed this account in Matthew. The commentary says, “Out of the tombs...These people may been given earthly bodies to die again, or resurrected with glorified bodies.”
Were these resurrected saints a fulfillment of Bible prophecy? What’s your understanding of what happened to them? Where are they else talked about in New or Old Testament?
It seems like the timing of this event was either when Jesus died on the cross or perhaps when He was resurrected. Or both. Resurrected upon Jesus death, then seen once Jesus was resurrected and appearing to His disciples. What’s your understanding?
Surely these now resurrected saints had to be seen by people, maybe even family. What accounts are there of these sightings? Jesus was seen by many after His resurrection. How about these saints? All it says is “appeared to many”. So it sounds like if they were given glorified bodies, they stayed on the earth perhaps until Jesus ascended?? Or did they die a second earthly death? Which doesn’t sound like what a loving God would put His saints thru? 2 earthly deaths.
BLESS OUR THOUGHTS AND LOVE OUR GOD IN HEAVEN WHO IS MAKING THE WAY TO BE UPON THIS EARTH TO BE RECREATED WITH NO SIN UPON IT.
WE UPON THIS EARTH ARE TO NOT HAVE A DISCOUNT OF THE COMING OF THE JESUS TIME TO UPON THIS EARTH TO BE SOON.
LOVE YUNS ALL BE BLESSED.
2 Thess 2:1-3
2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; PSALMS 90:10 TELLS A AWAY
YAY! Release day is here!😁😁
Can't wait to get mine! I almost forgot about it since I ordered this back in 2009!
I hate waiting on books. Why do people have to wait on books to be released?😠
Pay no attention to Negative Nancie here...I just haven't had my coffee yet.😁

Just curious….. does your pastor speak, preach, or teach about the rapture? Ours does not, doesn’t even say anything about living in the last of days.

Tipping Point Pastors and community. QUESTION:

I’ve never noticed this account in Matthew. The commentary says, “Out of the tombs...These people may been given earthly bodies to die again, or resurrected with glorified bodies.”
Were these resurrected saints a fulfillment of Bible prophecy? What’s your understanding of what happened to them? Where are they else talked about in New or Old Testament?
