THE HOUR IS CLOSE

Hello everyone! I had this message in my heart today and thought I share it. I'll read Matthew 24:36-44 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

From the time that Jesus begins to preach, first words that came out of his mouth were, REPENT! FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND. When people repent the right way, many things will get fix instantly and others will take time. Honestly, I will say, many spiritual leaders have misled people on this important subject: how does someone repent? That is most definitely a topic that needs to be searched out and explained. I've given some pointers on repentance on some of my other lessons you need to check them out. Also, when someone repents many good things will happen throughout your lifetime. You will feel and know God's presence is constantly with you and your heart will be so content that you will seek nothing else to satisfy your heart's desires. Jesus also talked a great deal about God's incredible love, but he also warned humanity of what would take place in the future.

I read where Jesus gave a sign about his coming, and he compares it to Noah's time. They were eating and drinking, in other words they were indulging in pleasure with no end and partying. So now doesn't that sound like today. Honestly today, people are living their lives as if nothing is happening, when in reality, this nation is falling apart in so many ways day by day. Many bad things are happening in this great nation, but people don't want to see it. Many veterans are committing suicide, so many drug overdoses people that are taking drugs are not being careful of the deadly drugs they consume, National Disasters have increased, and shooting throughout America.

We have suffered so many Catastrophes in these past three years starting with the Pandemic, the terrible earthquake in the nation of Turkey are just a few examples. The bible states that in the last days during the tribulation there will be four enormous earthquakes like never before. Hundreds and thousands of people will die. Jesus warned of things that would come so what are we supposed to do, nothing we can do to stop them but the one thing we must do is built such strong faith in Jesus, so we won't freak out when these things are happening all around us.

We have to notice these things and take them as signs and warnings of the last days and prepare ourselves and our children. We cannot turn a blind eye and ignore them.

Why do people drink and party like there's no tomorrow? The answer is simple, they have a void deep down in their hearts, sometimes they are afraid or sometimes they worry, and they think boost or drugs will cure it, but sorry, it doesn't You will only endanger your life and your health and probably die of some disease caused by some chemical whatever you took to find the solution to your problem. Already too many people are dying of sicknesses and diseases. The simple truth is you need Jesus on the inside, you need his Holy Spirt to fill that void. Nothing you do or consume can take the place of Jesus in your life. If you have something stashed away thinking it is going to fix you, but it won't, get rid of it, it's not going to fix anything, it could even kill you. Well, we know this world is not getting any better and consuming whatever, is not the answer.

As I said earlier that I would explain how people are killing themselves, well I want to talk a little about the deadly drug called Fentanyl, to treat pain. Fentanyl is safe when prescribed by a doctor to treat severe pain, but it is a high risk for addiction and dependence. Prescription Fentanyl administered at the hospital may be introduced to a patient by its brand name, Duragesic, Abstral, Subsys, and Lonsys. However, fentanyl is illicitly distributed through the illegal drug markets. It can cause respiratory distress and death when taken in high doses or when combined with other substances especially alcohol or other illicit drugs such as heroin or cocaine. It has killed over 220,000 Americans since the year 2021 up to now. And the death will only keep rising. The Drug Cartels are bringing it over to the United States and selling it as fast as they are making it.

Where does it come from? The precursor chemicals making up the essential ingredients of fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances is coming from China. After being shipped to Mexico, the chemicals are produced into fentanyl-containing tablets and enters the United States via our southern border. Honestly the Drug Cartels have taken advantage of the opened borders and are working day and night bringing it across the border super easily. Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 time stronger that morphine.

So, parents teach your children the dangers of this deadly drug. Fake prescription pills laced with fentanyl are usually shaped and colored to look like pills sold at pharmacies, like Percocet and Xanax. For example, fake prescription pills known as M30s imitate Oxycodone obtained from a pharmacy, but when sold on the street the pills routinely contain fentanyl.

This terrible drug is killing many of our teenagers and young adults and probably older adults too.

We also have school shootings that are killing our young kids, Like never before, these shootings have multiplied. It is time for parents to get back to God and pray for our children every day like never before.

There's a story about this little boy who wrote God a letter asking him why he couldn't save the little children at this school shooting and at this other school shooting and all the school shootings after that, the little boy signs of, Sincerely, Concerned Student. God replied: Dear concerned student: I am not allowed in schools, Sincerely God. How did this get started: Let's see, I think it started when Madeline Murray O'Hare complained she didn't want any prayer in our schools. And the Supreme Court said, OK.

Then, someone said you better not read the Bible in school, the Bible that says "thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal and love your neighbors as yourself, and we said, OK.

Humanity is trying to fix their lives for the better, they have tried almost everything, but they haven't tried the one that can and will turn things around for the better, they need to invite Jesus into their heart. What I mean by that, is simple, confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus as your savior, you don't even need to tell him all your sins, he knows them all. Like I said before, many are living like nothing is wrong and everything is just fine but it is not. The cost of living has skyrocketed, the debt ceiling is unpredictable, America could go broke. Our savings and pensions and retirements are at stake. Jesus said we must keep watch because we don't know the hour the master of the house would come. I didn't read verses 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched and would not have suffered his house to be broken into.

Now people think because they work hard all week, they deserved to party and even get drunk or even drink socially but honestly you don't have to do any of these to be happy. Now this message that I am writing today can apply to those that don' go to church but also to those that call themselves religious and attend a church, but they are still depending on the things I've mentioned that can put them in danger. Now if we say we are Christians, we are supposed to be Holy. Our body is the temple of God. No excuses, the scripture says that without Holiness we shall not see God. If your religion tells you there's nothing wrong in consuming alcohol beverages or wine, the Bible forbids all of these. If you say you go to church but there is no real change, no real transformation, and honestly you have not been born again, (John 3:3,5). Repentance means feeling sorry for all of your sins, leaving everything behind, starting over. The apostle Peter said in the day of Pentecost what they had to do to be saved, Acts 2:38-39 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

So, there it is. We don't know when Jesus will come back but I want him to find me watching and praying. I don't want Jesus to find me in places where his Holy Spirit would never enter or dwell. We can ask ourselves; would Jesus do this or that or enter here or enter there? When you receive his holy spirit into your life, he will most definitely guide you.

Romans 8:11 reads; 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. Do you have his Holy Spirit today, if not you need it to be raise up in the last day.

Well, my friends I know I might have said words that offended you today I am sorry, but what I've told you today is truth, and if someone doesn't tell you truth, you will not be freed. Jesus said and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
