Are You Ready ?

By Kenneth Martin ; October 30, 1996

 

                                                                    --------- "Checklist for Salvation at the End of Message" ---------

Welcome to the message of the hour , I've sought God to prepare and write this Message for the Audience of the Internet and to any other that shall receive from this message.

Let's Pray, Father I pray that your anointing rest upon your servant as I endeavor to break the Bread of Life and share your message this hour, for to you is the praise, the honor, and the glory, in Jesus name , Amen .

St. Matthew 24 : 37

"But as the days of No'-e were, so shall also the coming of the son of man be . "

Verses 36 thru 44 tell us that the exact time we don't know , but as it was in the time of Noah it will be again. It took the people of that time by surprise and all perished in the flood except Noah and his family.

Already it appears to have come to the same type of life now as the Bible describes it was then , really only God knows for certain. One thing important though , are you ready ?

As it was then we seem to be now, peoples lives going on in the what we call the normal way . Sin in Noahs time had reached proportionally into the highest levels, Evil was continuous in the hearts of man, God had enough and destroyed man from off the face of the earth, except Noah and his family.

I think people sometimes believe because they are the majority or know of it, therefore that must be so. Well !!!!!!! , in the time of ..............Noah....... that was't true.

...............Today majority isn't the deciding factor either..........

..............Then what is ?.................

In todays World , the world is growing smaller every day, not from the physical point of view in the concepts of measurement and physics, but in connection by the ability to connect via electronics and air travel.

Also the teachings of the different groups around the world are before us to choose from if we should be looking for spiritual guidance. Be certain that the end time revolutionaries are there too, that are against Jesus and his followers.

To me being ready is to know that I am ready to meet Jesus ( and my heart condems me not) , either by the Rapture of the Church ( All Christians Ready ) or by the grave.

I was in a ministers meeting several years ago around 1980's in a restaurant. There was probably 30 preachers or so gathered together in this meeting and each would stand and say somthing when there turn came. This one minister stood and as many times I've heard people testify, he said if God would take me now I'm " ready " to Go.

Within " 10 minutes " of his testimony he fell over dead. I was shocked, and thought back of his very own Words. He said he was ready , and God took him.

God is the giver and taker of Life. Satan can't take your life , God is on the throne, God and God only has control ( God is in referance to the GODHEAD ) .

 

St. Matthew 24: 24

" For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. "

Just because a majority or even a sizeable following of some kind, doesn't substantiate a truth. So a person then must ask himself then what does?

I suppose then the answer is quite simply what are you looking for? There are many teachings in the world to satisfy your many pleasures you want no dought. To me I needed Help, and in my time of need I repented already knowing about Jesus. Not that I might get intertained or a position in a organization, but simply I would be saved and above all else I would go to heaven if I would die at that moment, after I repented and dedicated my life to serving God from then on.

All roads do not lead to heaven, this of coarse meaning all of the differant teachings in the world today. Many of them would be easily seperated from the teachings of christians.

St. Matthew 7: 13-14

" Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: "

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

 

Most people according to the " Word Of God " will go to Hell , according to that scripture.

Such is the case of the many false teachings in the world today with " satan " in the lead with one of his false teachers in the forefront. Sounds good or feels good but where shall you end up when its over.

 

.........Important ???????..... You must first decide if the " Word of God written Down in what we call ----The Bible--( the Bible meaning in the reference to like the King James Version )---------------Is True---- ????????

 

Your soul depends on it, as to where you will go when you die.

If you believe that God is real and Jesus did die for your sins according to the Bible, like the Bible says, and he did rise from the grave on the third day, then your believing in Gods word. You see you must !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Believe in Gods word or you don't have anything to believe in, for an anchor to your soul.

So ............ You must first except that the Bible is Gods Word to mankind, to even have a foundation to believe in.

I pray that the christians reading this understand that I am not talking to them in some cases in your much taught situation but to those that never have heard of " JESUS " in one of the places of the world.

The Bible that I refer to is what I believe in, and the " Christian " teaching depends upon to be Gods Word as God moved upon man and inspired him to write it down. We the Church ( meaning all christians ) of Jesus Christ are anchored in Gods " Word " .

Verse 13 said wide is the gate, meaning there are so many ways a person can believe and still go to hell. Hell is a place of torment that in the Judgement Day sinners shall be cast into the LAKE OF FIRE where sinners not saved and their names was not found written in the LAMBS BOOK OF LIFE were cast , -- Revalation 20: 15-- .

Therefore a punishment is coming for the wicked , those that would not make those sins against God right .

 

According to Gods Word, if you want to go to Heaven eternally in the presence of GOD you must be forgiven of your sins.

1. You must believe that Jesus came from Heaven.

2. You must believe he was Born of a Virgin, that had never been with a man.

3. You must believe he was crucified and died on the cross for our sins.

4. You must believe he rose up from the grave on the third day and walked among his followers and showed openly he was alive for evermore.

5. You must believe Jesus now sits at his Fathers right hand in Heaven .

 

If you believe this and want to be saved.............

You must repent............

Do you want to be saved  ???

If so...

I will lead you in a sinners prayer so you will be saved................

 

Turn from all sin now and say in your own words or feeling to God how that you are sorry that you have done wrong in his sight.

Say to God in your own words how that you have a made up mind that you will now serve him and him alone as the only one TRUE GOD. Confess with your own mouth that Jesus came from Heaven and Died on the Cross and Died for your Sins and Rose from the Grave on the Third Day and Sits at the right hand of GOD in Heaven. Tell God that you will seek now to please him and do his teachings .

 

If you have said and follow after these statements above just mentioned, then you are saved according to Gods Word. We are now brothers or sisters no matter what your color or race. I Welcome you to the family of God, search out the Truth, Jesus.

 

Two things are in agreement;

        GODs WORD

                        and

        GODs SPIRIT

 

May God keep you and speed you on your way , for the time is very short of Jesus coming, the Rapture could come at any time.


 

As I wrote this , God has moved upon me......................

And I am to Give you ( meaning everybody that reads this ) these words that God has just now gave me

                                     Yeah I say unto my people , be ready , for my

                             Spirit shall not always strive with man but I

                                shall end it,  Saith The Lord Of Host
