Good day. Today's video Exceeding Expectations is on the topic of: The Lord's realm, which is Spirit and truth, is exceeding abundantly above all that we could ever ask or think; it is where grace abounds; where all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are revealed; where exceeding joy and abundant peace is; where there is health and safety spiritually and physically; where there is power (authority) to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power (influence) of the enemy; where there is life and life more abundantly; where unto us is given exceeding great and precious promises; where all of the promises of God in Christ Jesus are yea and amen; where we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ; where we have received the measure (fullness) of the gift of Christ; where we have been given an unction from the Holy One and we know all things; whereby we have been raised up together and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus; where without measure all these and more is available to all those who believe, for the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man/woman to profit. Our life is hid with Christ in God, exceeding expectations. 

2 Peter 1:1-4 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (KJV) 

Jeremiah 33:6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. (KJV) 

God told Abraham "I am thy exceeding great reward" in Genesis 15:1. Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Do you believe God, that all of his promises in Christ Jesus are yea and amen and that he loves you and sent his Son to die for you that you might be made the righteousness of God in him, and a partaker of the divine nature? Without faith it is impossible to please God. 

Jude 24-25 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. (KJV) 

Beloved brethren, we encourage you to walk in the Lord's realm, which is Spirit and truth, and remain seated in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus who is seated at the right hand of God, where all things are possible to those who believe. God bless and keep the faith.

Good day. Today's video The Answer is on the topic of: Follow-up of the last study "You Should 2024-12-21". Now that you should know the name above every name given among men by whom you must be saved, Jesus Christ, and this being the name that you should be confessing before God and men, have you asked God our Father in heaven to reveal his Son unto you that you know who his Son is, so that you are ready to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you (1Peter 3:15)? Do you know the reason of the hope that is within you? What answer will you give? Who is your hope? Your answer should include Christ, the Son of the living God. For it is Christ in you the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27).

Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. (KJV)

1 Corinthians 1:24 ...Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. (KJV)

The revelation of Christ will take you beyond the veil of the flesh (Jesus), enlightening the eyes of your understanding too see Christ the Son of God and who you are in him. It is the Father who reveals the Son, and the Son who reveals the Father, that you may know the only true God and Jesus Christ whom he sent. If you don't have a working knowledge of who Christ is (the Son of God) and who you are in Christ, you won't know the Father. With the revelation of the mystery of the gospel, Christ in you the hope of glory, you will be able to given an answer by the leading of the Holy Spirit; not a fleshly answer of the son born, Jesus of Nazareth the man, but a spiritual answer to a spiritual question of the son given, Christ the Son of the living God (Isaiah 9:6 unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given). Are you ready to give the answer? If not, get ready and stay ready.

Good day. Today's video Astonishing Doctrine is on the topic of: The Lord 's doctrine (the doctrine of Christ which he spoke and demonstrated was confirmed with signs following) caused astonishment (amazement) among the people and it is still doing the same thing within those who believe. Jesus Christ spoke the words that he heard the Father speak and did those things he had seen the Father do. The word of God is living and powerful, it is spirit, and it is truth, and it changes not; and the Spirit of truth that was in Jesus is in you as well. Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: (KJV). The doctrine of Christ not only includes operating in all the spiritual blessings that we have been blessed with in the heavenlies in Christ, but it also involves dying to self (the cross of Christ), to your will, to your wants and desires, and submitting to the will of God walking in a newness of life. Remember, you are crucified with Christ: nevertheless you live, yet not you, but Christ lives in you; and the life which you now live in the flesh, you live by the faith of the Son of God who loved you and gave himself for you.

The words that He speaks unto us they are spirit, and they are life! This is an astonishing doctrine and an astonishing life we have been given by Jesus Christ and there is no other way to give thanks unto God our Father, and unto our Lord Jesus Christ for what he did on our behalf but to serve him in sincerity and in truth; as well as speak the truth in love and in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that another's faith would not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God (1Corinthians 1:24, 1Corinthians 2:4-5). A man's life does not consist in the abundance of things which he possesses in this earthly realm, but it does consist in the doctrine of Christ, and the power of it, where all things are possible to those who believe; it is the grace of God.

Many say the miracles, signs, and wonders ceased with the apostles, which is contrary to the word of God. In 1Corinthians 12:7 it says, "But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.", and you can read the rest of the chapter as well. The Lord also said in Mark 16:17-20 "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.(KJV)" It is the Spirit that gives life, the flesh profits nothing. Brethren, let no man deceive you; let God be true and man the liar, including our own carnal thinking.

2 John 7-11 (KJV) For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son (Luke 10:22). If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

Fresh Bread from Above
 
Every day is a new day for the fresh bread and pure living water that comes down from heaven from God our Father, which is more precious than silver and gold that perishes; it is a gift of life continually if we choose to partake of it. Taste and see that the Lord is good, for blessed is the man that trusts in him.
 
Revelation 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. (KJV)
 
Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. (KJV)
 
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick (living), and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (KJV)
 
Today is the day of salvation, now faith, and we are to seek first each day the kingdom of God and his righteousness, so that we can receive the daily fresh bread that our Father has prepared for us that will sustain us spiritually. It is our Father’s good pleasure to give us the kingdom (behold, the kingdom of God is within you). So, ask and it shall be given, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.
 
The Lord Jesus Christ said, “I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger and he that believes on me shall never thirst” (John 6:35, Ref. John 4:6-24 and John 7:38); and “I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread (his example, and continue in his word), he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh (a living sacrifice), which I will give for the life of the world” (John 6:51).
 
1 Peter 2:21-24 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: (22) Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: (23) Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: (24) Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (KJV)
 
John 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV)
 
Matthew 16:24-26 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. (26) For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (KJV)
 
Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (2) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (KJV)
 
Partaking of the bread of life daily will renew your mind on things above where Christ sits at the right hand of God, and not on the things of this life. Remember, it is the Spirit that gives life, the flesh profits nothing; the words that he speaks to us they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63), living water, and in them death is swallowed up in victory. Christ is the power and wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:24) and without Christ we can do nothing, he is our living bread, for God made this same Jesus who was crucified on our behalf that we might have life and have it more abundantly, both Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36).
 
James 3:17-18 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. (18) And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. (KJV)
 
Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption, is our living bread. This wisdom from above produces the fruit of righteousness (right standing with God), that is sown in peace by them that make peace with God, coming into agreement with his Word (Christ).
 
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (KJV)
 
Are you listening? Faith by hearing, and hearing by the word of God; faith comes from a Message heard, and that Message comes through its having been spoken directly to our heart, by Christ. The words that he speaks unto us, they are spirit, and they are life. Our living bread, Christ in us the hope of glory.
 
The witness of God is greater than the witness of men. The ingredients in our fresh bread that bear record from above are the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit and these three are one (God). And there are three that bear witness in earth (in us, an earthen vessel), the Spirit, and the water, and the blood, and these three agree in one, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. From this comes our daily bread and in no other way can it come. And in no way can you partake of it but by and through Jesus Christ. And in no other way can you worship the Father but in Spirit and in truth.
 
Mans’ traditions and doctrines, as well as interpretations of the scriptures are additives in which they deceive the people in believing they are receiving fresh bread with pure simple healthy ingredients; when in reality they are receiving day or days old store bought bread full of unhealthy ingredients which do nothing to edify the body, spiritually or physically; they corrupt the word of God and the simplicity that is in Christ. They promise liberty but they themselves are the servants of corruption because they don’t know the true bread and living water sent down from heaven.
 
You, and you alone are responsible for seeking out your daily fresh bread from above. We are to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling, knowing that it is God who works in us both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Your fresh bread with simple pure ingredients from our Father above is waiting for you. Will you partake of it, and learn to overcome the world within you through his instruction today?
 
1 Corinthians 10:17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. (KJV)
 
Hebrews 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; (KJV)
 
Revelation 3:20-21 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (21) To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. (KJV)
 
Written to the Church through Charlene Giefer, Christ’s servant, your sister and fellow saint in the kingdom and righteousness of God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Good day. Today's video What is Truth? Part 2 is on the topic of: What is truth? There are many versions of the truth out there; the Bible says there is only one truth given by God, through one Lord Jesus Christ, revealed by the one Spirit of truth which will lead and guide you into all truth in the one faith of the Son of God. Our purpose is to bear witness unto the truth. What are you bearing witness unto? Have you established truth? Have you gotten truth? Are you walking in truth? If you want to make it home to eternal life, look above to get ahold of truth and endure unto the end in the power and wisdom of God, Christ in you the hope of glory, the truth that was in Jesus. God bless and stay free.

Looking Within
 
Luke 17:20-21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: (21) Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. (KJV)
 
You ever see these so called men of God, who when they come to town advertise their ministries as one based on miracles, you know signs and wonders? Yet the reality is that our Lord said that we should be looking in the opposite direction if we are going to find Him. Is it any wonder that these people were described by our Lord as being the blind leading the blind into a ditch?
 
Ephesians 3:16-19 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; (17) That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, (18) May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; (19) And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. (KJV)
 
Did you come to the Lord seeking part of His kingdom? When in prayer are you seeking the total answer, or just bits and pieces, you know like a puzzle? I don’t know about many, but for me I would definitely like to be a partaker of the fullness of Christ, especially when the Word says that it is there for the taking. While the world and its worldly preachers are pointing the people to the riches of this fallen realm, our Lord died to get us access to the riches of His glory, riches that will never fail or have an end. Haven’t you had enough of a bunch of false promises of peace by a bunch of false prophets who in reality are only looking out for who they consider number one, themselves? There is so much more strength and power available to us once we truly get to know the love of Christ, which is based on His works and not on ours any longer. The truth is Church that our strength comes by weakness; the more we are willing to let go, the more it allows the Lord to take over and get the results that He intended for His people.
 
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (KJV)
 
You know, if you unplug the power cord to your lamp, well then its lights out and you are in darkness again. When the line of communication gets cut off between you and the Lord then you are no longer able to please Him, because you are now walking back into darkness, and no longer following that straight and narrow path that He would have you on. That simple Church, and yet that complicated or confusing to those that are blinded by their limited carnal vision. You know once you have received the Lord’s reward, you know like power, love, and a sound mind, you realize that this is a free gift that can’t be bought or found anywhere else but within.
 
Colossians 1:26-28 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: (27) To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: (28) Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: (KJV)
 
The kingdom of God is described as a mystery, something hidden in the past but now revealed. However, this mystery is only revealed to God’s people through the Spirit, which is why it is still a mystery to many because they are still looking outwardly instead of inwardly to find the answer. It was Christ in Jesus of Nazareth that was his only hope of glory, and look where He ended up. It is Christ in you that is your only hope of glory as well. Did you look within today and make hearing His word your top priority?

​Have a blessed and prosperous day in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Good day. Today's video Spiritual DNA Test is on the topic of: Can you pass the spiritual DNA test that God our Father in heaven is giving now and at the day of judgement? Do you know the Son of God? Unto you it is given to know. Can you administer the spiritual DNA test that we have been given access to, to try the spirits whether they be of God or not? There are many false prophets (antichrist's), but few who know the Son of God (Christ the only hope of glory, who was in Jesus of Nazareth, and who is in you also when you were born again, what a gift!). If one has not the Spirit of Christ they are none of His!

Good morning. Today's video Defining Moment is on the topic of what defines you or who defines you; you as a Christian? 
​
There are many defining moments in our lives. From the time we were born unto the present. Our lives are shaped by these defining moments. The same is true when we became born again; when we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and we were given power to become the sons of God.
 
John 1:11-12 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. (12) But as many as received him, to them gave he power (Christ, the power of God 1Cor 1:24) to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (KJV)
 
So, what or who defines you? Do you know? Is it family traditions and doctrines, a job/career, a college education, a particular organization whether religious or not, a pastor, a teacher… (we could go on and on)? These things will not profit you in the kingdom of God. The flesh profits nothing; it is the spirit that gives life. That which is of the flesh is flesh and that which is of the Spirit is spirit.
 
But who or what defines the Christian? It should be Christ in you the hope of glory. But many rely on what others have told them and have not gone to the source of all life and godliness, God our Father, and asked Him to show them who and what will define them daily in this new life that they have accepted through His Son Jesus Christ.
 
2 Corinthians 5:14-17 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: (15) And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. (16) Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. (17) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (KJV)
 
When you were born again it was a defining moment; old things passed away and all things are become new. Leaving behind our former manner of life in the fleshly desires of the world; dying daily to it and the lusts of it. Now letting Christ define who you are and then walk in that newness of life.
 
Galatians 6:14-15 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. (15) For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. (KJV)
 
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (KJV)
 
Therefore, put off the old man with his deeds; and put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him.
 
Colossians 3:1-16 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. (2) Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. (3) For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. (4) When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. (5) Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: (6) For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: (7) In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. (8) But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. (9) Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; (10) And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: (11) Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. (12) Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; (13) Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. (14) And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. (15) And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. (16) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (KJV)
 
Romans 8:9-14 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. (10) And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. (11) But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. (12) Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. (13) For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (KJV)
 
To be Christian is to be Christ like. Born not of men by but by the Spirit of the living God. Walking in the new and living way that was consecrated for us by the blood of Jesus Christ. And allow Christ to continue to define you moment by moment. Now faith is, today, this moment, now is the accepted time to be transformed from the image of this world into the image of God through Christ Jesus. We must take up our cross daily and follow Him, dying daily to the wants and desires of the flesh (the old man/nature), to live and walk in the Spirit, a defining moment. He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no man comes unto the Father but by him. To know God our Father, rather to be known of Him is a defining moment to see and enter into his kingdom.
 
Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. (KJV)
 
Hebrews 10:19-23 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, (20) By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; (21) And having an high priest over the house of God; (22) Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. (23) Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) (KJV)
 
God bless and keep the faith, allowing Christ to dwell richly in you; remember, this is your defining moment, no one else’s.

​​​​Have a blessed and prosperous day in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Good morning. This week's video Heavenly Election is on the topic of the Heavenly Election of God, who from the foundation of the world chose you (a whosoever) to salvation through his Son Jesus Christ.
​
John 1:12-13 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (KJV)

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (KJV)

God from the foundation of the world chose you (a whosoever) to salvation through his Son Jesus Christ (2 Thessalonians 2:13-14, 2 Timothy 1:8-10). Will you accept his election he proposed for you and make it sure to the saving of your soul? Will you allow the Spirit of God to lead and guide you into all truth? When we received Jesus Christ, he gave each one of us that believe on his name the power to become one of God’s sons/daughters. Will you prove faithful?

It is our heavenly election proposed before the foundation of the world. So, give diligence to make your calling and election sure (2Peter 1:4-11). Watch and pray always that you may be accounted worthy to escape all the things that shall come to pass upon the world for disobedience. (Read Luke 21).  For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:9, Romans 5:8-9, Ephesians 5:2-6).

If you read Ephesians 5:2-6, you will see what pleases God and what brings the wrath of God. God does not change, whether it be unto obedience or unto disobedience.

Romans 2:8-11 (KJV) But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God. (KJV)

As children of obedience (keeping your calling and election sure), be comforted dear brethren by these scriptures; for God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent: Has he said, and shall he not do it? Or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

1 Corinthians 15:51-52 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (KJV)

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. (KJV)

Revelation 4:1-2 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. (KJV)

The Church is called away before the tribulation begins because they are the sons of obedience to God and his Word, not disobedience.  So, beloved of God in Christ Jesus our Lord, continue in the faith, grounded and settled and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel (Christ in you the hope of glory); but be diligent daily to make your calling and heavenly election sure.

1 Thessalonians 1:4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. (KJV)

God bless and keep the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
