We were told these times would come, we were told the children of light, as opposed to the dark would recognize the season. Calm down trust in Christ. And by no means I'm I saying the rapture is imamate, the ones of light prepare, today, tomorrow, next year. We know our time frames and God's are not equal. Calm down trust in Christ, occupy till He arrives . Pray and do our best to be as He is. Be as Holy as you can, there are crowns to be won, we can gladly give to Christ at His appearing. Calm down. I know some are sick and I pray for you. I have been sick 15 years in horrible pain, look up RSD. Reflex Sympathetic dystrophy. All this will pass, pray to escape the wrath to come. This will look like a walk in the park. Calm down trust in Christ. I am not belittling any post or any pain. my prayers are with you as some here have prayed for me for years, I have no cure for my illness but death or rapture. I will calmly wait on Jesus Christ. love in Christ your brother Blake :prayer-hands: :prayer-hands: :prayer-hands: :prayer-hands: :prayer-hands: :prayer-hands: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: Yep. God's got this. Thank you for the reminder; I definitely need it......regularly! ......"Therefore comfort each other with these words" Also comfort one another with the Blessed Hope! God does not forget His promises! Neither will He leave or forsake those that put their trust in Him! Remember, Christ's first thought in the morning and last thought at night is about us!!! TR Amen, TR!! 22And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 25And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 26But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. This has always been one of my favorite verses, The statement , Jesus answering saith unto them, Have Faith in God. That Faith removes all fear through faith and forgiveness., and brings us blessings. YBIC Blake Well said Blake! Such a loving Father, who is well aware of our short comings and loves us away! So looking forward to seeing him face to face in all His glory! :prayer-hands: It appears to me that Covid-19 is causing some good work being done in my church. I'm pretty sure we are not the only church experiencing this. My church never talks about end times and since they have been forced to online services only, each week our pastor has stated that we are in the end times. He said he is answering the multitude of questions he is receiving from the church; "people are asking if we are in the Tribulation". People are in fear. His response is no we're not in the Tribulation, but then he actually read from Matthew 24 and then he said, "things are going to get worse", but we must have faith in God, enduring trust that he has a good plan. This week, our regular visiting Evangelist started service saying, "We are in the end times", but we must be in unity. "This is our time to rise up and show the world Christ Jesus". My church's response to their congregation's fear has given me renewed hope in them. These last several weeks have caused them to step up and talk about these last days and their focus is "Hope and Trust in God".
