Birth Pains

The beginning of birth pangs, Yip! This is where we are I truly believe it now…

 

So what does that mean and what must we look for? The sign of the times is the cry from every corner.  The Gen z’s cry foul! And accuse the Baby Boomers of destroying the planet. The Millennials have jumped on board and have chosen a side to reverse the damage. Just about everyone is now on board trying to save the planet. RECYCLE is the cry! It is neither here nor there, just as long as you are not swept away by the underlying message of deception that will eventually take the world by storm. As it is already playing out. Experts are replacing God’s judgement with a phenomenon called Global warming. Floods, heat waves, mudslides and earthquakes are ramping up just like a woman pregnant before her term, BIRTH PAINS!  “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.”  (Matthew 24:6-8) 

 

When those contractions begin to shorten you better be sitting on the edge of your seat and taking note, you don’t want to be caught sleeping. Remember the parable of the 10 virgins five were wise and five foolish. Five had oil in their lamp but the other five had lamps but no oil for their lamps. God's judgement is here and it is now about to ramp up, early days yes but it is happening.

 

The Lord Jesus has warned us, bless HIS HOLY NAME! “So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),” (Matthew 24:15) We need to be watching the conflict in Israel with a keen eye. All I am willing to say on this is that God will have the final say, as HE always has and always will, make sure you are covered by the righteousness of Christ, if not there is no hope for you, for God's JUDGEMENT IS COMING like never seen before. One-third of the earth will be destroyed by fire, not because of plastic bottles or cattle farming but rather because of God’s wrath. The time is coming when God will say “Enough is enough”!

 

After everything He has done for his creation in and through His only begotten Son the Lord Jesus Christ and the way he has made for all to find forgiveness in HIM and the Bible's direction to keep us grounded in HIS truth and yet so many believe they have a better way or a better understanding on how they should conduct themselves, the creature (that which is created) taking preference and being worshipped whilst the creator is at best just an afterthought! GODS JUDGEMENT IS COMING!

 

Seek the Lord while He may still be found… while the door to God’s forgiveness remains open for all, make haste, turn from your sins, that part of your life that you give license to as if it is your right. Cry out to Jesus, believe in your heart that he is the way, the truth and the life! Again, this means there is no only way to find forgiveness from God, nor any other God who has earned the right to forgive your sins. Call upon the name of Jesus, earnestly cry out to Him and your eyes will be opened to the cosmos and all of God’s brilliance. This event happens simultaneously with your confessing to God for your sin and what is known as the “born again” experience.

 

Your spirit needs God's seed to quicken and awaken your soul. Think about it like this, most have seen a 3D movie, take your seat without glasses next to a person with the appropriate glasses, and you will both see the same movie but with entirely different experiences. Just like two people listening to a preacher. The unsaved receive the message as carnal individuals based on what they hear on morals and ethics, whilst the born-again believer hears the voice of God speaking to them through scripture.

 

This is what Jesus Christ accomplished for us by dying for our sins and then with God raising him from the dead. This is an independent choice that each individual will have to process.

 

It's not about the money preacher who slanders Christianity and steals from the poor, their day is coming. Take a moment to cut out the noise, still your mind and ask yourself, do you believe that Jesus Christ has made a way to escape God’s judgement? If you believe, the retort is simple, cry out to Jesus and you will be saved… “because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
