Right! I was watching a Church worship service this morning and I actually felt sorry for them! They all looked so glum, (even though they were trying not to be) so tired, so overwhelmed, so burned out, so disappointed, by all the trouble in the world…. I just wanted to say, HEY, stop pulling yourself up by your bootstraps! Jesus is Coming! The 1000 year rule and reign of Christ is right around the corner! Relax!! Are you listening? He’s Coming, soon, for His Church! You guys are His Bride! Look up! Sing for Joy! Get excited! The King is Coming!! Don’t look so doom and gloom!! It’s not about you, it’s about Him!! He’s about to return for you in the Rapture! This is the real deal! Are you ready!! What are you so down about?? But I don’t think they could hear me…. Nothing makes me feel better than to start each day knowing that today could be the day! I think that is how He planned it to be!! He wanted us to look forward to His return, every day! It is our ultimate Hope! With every day there’s Hope! That this world will soon be over and eternity with Christ will begin! Can’t wait to meet the one, who died on the Cross for me!! And has prepared a place for me! And loves me like no other! Now that’s good news worth singing about!! Let the worship begin!!!🌻

This morning our pastor who is doing a series of what we are living with at this time added John 16:33 to bring awareness of Jesus' words, "I have told you these things, so that in me you will have peace. In the world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. Very comforting words for the times we are living in!

Kris I loved your comment about the Church service you watched! I agree! God is purging the Churches as Revelation tells us when He spoke to the seven Churches of the provinces of Asia.!! Wake up , Jesus is telling them. My small group at Church studied the Book of Revelation for several weeks: and today we finished Chapters 21 and 22. So, we had a glorious hallelujah class today and rejoiced. The New Jerusalem and The River of Life! Jesus has given us all we need as we celebrate with Him at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and His Second Coming! God is orchestrating the pieces of His puzzle for all this happening now. Jesus wins and we win with Him. People are in fear these days, but need to look for our redemption draws near!!’ I’m reminded of the virgins : five wise and five foolish! Let’s keep our oil burning for Jesus as we wait His return! Hallelujah! Blessings! Gladys

I'm watching Millennials loving God BIG and spirit filled... changing the world! Here's their EP - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPnT1h9SHQg&list=RDEMHtc9VXkSbSK9wURzbZAqTA&start_radio=1

“Be still, and know that I AM God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalm‬ ‭46:10‬ ‭I noticed something new reading this today— IN the earth!!! Not on the earth or near the earth or around the earth, but “in the earth!” He WILL BE honored in this big wide world and in all of us…. Happy Sunday y’all!💛

The description of Pastor Greg's conversation with the man in Israel is very similar to what Amir said in the Round Table Q&A in Cincinnati (on YouTube if you want to watch). The 1st century Jews were not upset that Jesus claimed to be the Messiah, they were upset that he claimed to be one with the Father. (Claimed to be God). Many Jews believe that the Messiah will be a nice guy who will bring peace and let them rebuild the temple. When he goes into the temple and declares himself God......that is when they realize their mistake.

Thanks! Can you post the link for that?

I posted the link below. I checked the link, and it works :). The Q&A is at the end of the event. The messages by Barry, Mike and Amir are good too, so this is worth the time. I didn't have any problem forwarding through the breaks and advertisements.

And me three. Can’t wait. Some of The people in this world have made it such a bad place to live. It’s like there is no more freedom of speech or freedom of religion or else you are labeled some name.

Thank you Greg Laurie. You said it best when you said this ~

The restraining force in the world today is the work of the Holy Spirit through the Church. People like you. Godly men and women who let their light shine, speak up for what is right, and speak out against what is wrong—without fear of being “cancelled.” But once we are removed from this planet, then this wicked one, the Antichrist, can be revealed.

Thank you for this reassurance it strengthens me I am in Canada and ppl are having their bank accounts frozen…. I like the last part if we are close to the end Jesus is even closer reminds me he is Close and he is doing a work he is hovering over out pain and making order out of the chaos. Trusting his perfect will and timing 💕

In Mark Biltz's latest book, Decoding The Antichrist and The End Times, he describes the Antichrist as being similar to Solomon. He'll be a total narcissist, wealthy, famous, powerful. Someone that will think only they can solve the world's problems. Like Haman, vengeful. And we know from the Bible that he demands upmost loyalty/allegiance and will ensure Israel's temple is rebuilt as well as bring a peace plan that the world adopts.

A leader exist in the world today that fits this description. I'll not say who it is, but it's not hard to figure out. In my opinion, they are not the Antichrist because I believe as in today's lesson that we'll not know who they are... revealed after the rapture. And this leader doesn't fully meet the criteria. In my opinion... they are a forerunner (a type) paving the way... and I do believe that a pre-rapture deluding influence as stated in II Thessalonians 2:11 is operating.

What a great teaching today. Everything I’ve heard pastor Greg teach on is rock solid in a generation of deception and increasing false teachers. My favorite thing is how he incorporates so much scripture through the material he is teaching. Also, we clearly see the spirit of antichrist at work now more than ever. I first really noticed it in the 1990’s, a turn a way from God in the culture I watched. It has accelerated exponentially faster than I would have thought since then. I don’t know how the world could even handle much time on this trajectory without being ripped apart. The combination of wicked with knowledge/technology and the blatant rebellion against everything good and right. I keep trying to imagine meeting Jesus face to face. Being in the presence of absolute holiness and righteousness. Gods blessings and peace to all of you today.

"I don't know how the world could even handle.....without being ripped apart". the holy spirt through the church is restraining until the rapture when the church will be taken up with the Lord than the world will be ripped apart

On January 01 of this year 2022, I started writing in each box of my calendar 'TODAY?' ... I figured on one of those dates, God willing this year, it will be empty. In regards to the antichrist, I think we are seeing a world full of mini ones ruling over us. Just giving us just a taste of what it feels like 😒. 🌥✝️☁️

The antichrist doesn’t deserve a minute of our thoughts. We will never know him anyway.
