As A New Year BEGINS . . .

Fellow Believers, As THIS Year Ends, And A New Year BEGINS; We MUST Look At Ourselves, And Our Walk With Jesus Christ (Ephesians 5:8-13; Colossians 1:9-17; And 1 John 1:7)!

Are We Walking GOD Almighty’s Path, i.e. The Path GOD Almighty Created, Specifically, For Each Of Us To Walk, BEFORE, We Were Even Born (Psalm 139:1-3, 13-16; Romans 8:29-30; And Ephesians 2:10)?  Are We Being The Spiritual Salt Of The Earth (Matthew 5:13a), Jesus Christ’s LIGHT, Upon A World Full Of Darkness (Matthew 5:14-16), Ambassadors For Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20-21), Good Soldiers Of Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 2:3-4), Servants Of THE LORD, Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 2:15, 24-26; And 2 Timothy 4:1-2), AND Children Of GOD Almighty (John 1:12-13; John 3:5-8; And Romans 8:14-17), etc.?

After All, We Were BORN AGAIN, THROUGH The Holy Spirit (John 3:5-8; And Romans 10:8-10), AND The Holy Spirit Teaches Us, Daily (John 14:15-17, 26; John 16:13-15; 2 Corinthians 2:9-10a, 12-13, 15-16; And 1 John 2:20, 24-25, 27-28), AND We Were SEALED, With The Holy Spirit, WHO IS, OUR GUARANTEE Of EVERLASTING LIFE (2 Corinthians 1:21-22; 2 Corinthians 5:5; And Ephesians 1:13-14)!

EVERLASTING LIFE – IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, And All The Rest Of The Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER (John 3:16-17; John 5:24; John 6:27, 40, 47; Romans 5:15-21; Romans 6:22-23; Titus 3:4-8, 1 John 2:24-25, 1 John 5:6-13, 19-20; Jude 1:20-21; Revelation 21:1-27; And Revelation 22:1-5)!

Knowing THIS, That Jesus Christ IS: The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith (Hebrews 5:9; And Hebrews 12:1-2), The Anchor Of Our Soul (Hebrews 6:19-20), The ONLY Mediator, Between Us And GOD Almighty (1 Timothy 2:3-6), AND THE Mediator Of The New Covenant (Hebrews 8:6; Hebrews 9:11-15; And Hebrews 12:22-24)!

We Are Jesus Christ’s SHEEP, And We ABIDE IN HIM, FOREVER; And NO One Can Snatch Us, From HIS Hand, NOR From GOD Almighty’s Hand (John 10:27-30; John 15:1-5, 8; And Romans 8:35, 37-39)!

We Are Brothers And Sisters Of Jesus Christ (Romans 8:14-17, 28-30; Galatians 3:26-29; Galatians 4:6-7; And Hebrews 2:10-18)!

We Are GOD Almighty’s Workmanship, And We Were Created For Good Works, GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us (Romans 8:29-30; Ephesians 1:3-10, 13-15; Ephesians 2:8-10; Philippians 2:13; Titus 2:11-15; And 1 Peter 2:11-12).

Fellow Believers, As Jesus Christ’s LIGHT, AND Children Of GOD Almighty, We Have Each Been Given, A Unique Combination Of Spiritual Gifts (Romans 12:3-8; And Ephesians 4:7-16), In Order To Perform, The Good Works, Which GOD Almighty Has Prepared For Us!  After All, Serving GOD Almighty IS Our FIRST Priority, Period!

When We Meet And See Jesus, Face-To-Face, At The Being Caught Up Together (1 Corinthians 13:11-12; 1 Corinthians 15:51-53; 2 Corinthians 3:16-18; And 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18), HE Will NOT Be Asking Us, About Earthly Things, Like Our Houses, Cars, Vacations, Bank Accounts, etc.; BUT, HE Will Be Asking Us, About Heavenly Things; Meaning, Did We Share The Gospel Of Jesus Christ With Others; Did We Live Our Lives, As A Testimony, To GOD Almighty AND Jesus Christ (Publicly, As Well As, Privately); AND Did We Use Our Spiritual Gifts, For HIS GLORY And NOT Our Own!  In Other Words, Jesus Will Be Asking, Each Of Us, What Did We Do, With The Talents (The Spiritual Gifts), HE GAVE Us!

Folks, IF The Being Caught Up Together OCCURRED, IN The Next Millisecond, And YOU Found Yourself, Standing Before THE LORD, Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:9-11); Are YOU Prepared, To Give An Account For Your Life; Are YOU Prepared, To Answer, For All The Good Works, YOU FAILED To Perform?

Do NOT Worry, YOU Will NOT Be Punished, For THIS Failure; BUT, YOU May Be Told, What Heavenly Reward, YOU Lost Out On Receiving, Because Of IT!

ON THE BLESSED SIDE, YOU Will Receive, All The Heavenly Rewards, For The Good Works, YOU Did Perform (Matthew 6:19-21; 1 Corinthians 9:24-25; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18; Colossians 3:1-4, 23-24; 2 Timothy 4:7-8; Hebrews 12:1-2; James 1:12; And 1 Peter 5:4)!

Fellow Believers, As We Enter THIS New Year, May I Ask, Each Of YOU; Are YOU Living Your Life, SOLELY, For Serving GOD Almighty AND Jesus Christ (Matthew 16:24-25; Mark 8:34-35; And Luke 9:23-24)?  Are Your Eyes Set On Things Above (Matthew 6:19-21; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18; And Colossians 3:1-4)?  IS GOD Almighty, TRULY, Your FIRST Priority?  Do YOU Realize That The Being Caught Up Together IS IMMINENT; Meaning, IT Can Happen, At ANY Millisecond NOW (Matthew 24:36; Mark 13:32-33, 35-37; Luke 12:35-38, 40; And Luke 17:33-37)?

Folks, Our Lives, IN THIS Body (The Natural Body), IS Temporary (2 Corinthians 4:16-18; 2 Corinthians 5:1-8; And James 4:14); BUT, The Life, We Are About To Enter, IN The Spiritual Body, IS FOR ETERNITY (1 Corinthians 15: 39, 44b-49, 51-53; 2 Corinthians 5:1-8; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; And 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11); AND We MUST Prepare Ourselves, Especially, Our Mindset, For THIS Transition!

Fellow Believers, I Believe We All Want To Hear, Jesus Say To Us, “Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant; Come, YOU BLESSED Of MY FATHER (GOD Almighty), Inherit THE KINGDOM Of GOD Almighty, PREPARED FOR YOU, From The Foundation Of The World!”

Therefore, We Need To Walk GOD Almighty’s Path, And We Need To Be Found, Going About THE FATHER’S BUSINESS, Which IS, Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ; We MUST Encourage Others, To Acknowledge GOD Almighty's Amazing Saving GRACE And Accept GOD Almighty's FREE GIFT Of SALVATION, Which COMES ONLY, THROUGH Jesus Christ!

Please, Live Your Life, NOW, As A Testimony, To GOD Almighty AND Jesus Christ; Keeping GOD Almighty, As Your FIRST Priority; Finish The Race (1 Corinthians 9:24-25; 2 Timothy 4:7-8; And Hebrews 12:1-2); With THE HOPE Of EVERLASTING LIFE (Ephesians 4:4-6; Titus 2:11-15; Titus 3:4-7; Hebrews 6:19-20; Hebrews 10:19-25; Hebrews 11:1; And 1 Peter 1:3-5, 13); AND Keeping Your Eyes On THE PRIZE – EVERLASTING LIFE – IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, And All The Rest Of The Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER!

Fellow Believers, Until The Being Caught Up Together OCCURS . . .

Remember, Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit; Therefore, Jesus Christ WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit TEACHES Us, And Most Importantly, GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Us, Always!

Wherever YOU Are, Wherever YOU Go, Whatever YOU Do; Be It, In The Natural Physical World, OR In Cyber World; May OUR LORD Jesus Christ, Find YOU, Going About THE FATHER’S BUSINESS, Which IS, Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, As A Good And Faithful Servant!  Amen.

Matthew 13:16 "But BLESSED Are Your Eyes (Believers' Eyes), For They SEE, AND Your Ears (Believers' Ears), For They HEAR!" --- The Gospel Of Jesus Christ!

The Body Of Christ Versus The World (Satan’s World)!

Acts 5:29

BUT Peter, And The OTHER Apostles, Answered And Said: “WE (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) OUGHT TO OBEY GOD (GOD Almighty), Rather Than Men!”

We (Fellow Believers, Children Of GOD Almighty, The Body Of Christ) Are TO Be “IN The World” BUT NOT, “Of The World!”  When It Comes, To THE WORD Of GOD (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), We Do NOT Waiver, AND We Do NOT Compromise, EVER!  We MUST Stand Firm, IN THE FAITH Of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ!  We Must RISE UP, To The Height Of The Bar, Set By Jesus Christ’s Disciples!  AFTER Jesus Christ’s Ascension, HIS Disciples Could Have Easily, “Given In”, Compromised, And Become “Of The World”; BUT, The True Test, For Them, Was NOT What They Did, When Jesus Was With Them, BUT, What They Did, When Jesus Was Gone, AFTER HIS Ascension!

Ephesians 1:13

IN HIM (Jesus Christ), YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Also, TRUSTED, AFTER YOU HEARD, THE WORD Of TRUTH, THE GOSPEL Of YOUR SALVATION (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ); IN WHOM (Jesus Christ) Also, Having BELIEVED, YOU (Fellow Believers) Were SEALED (FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER), With The Holy Spirit Of Promise!

Fellow Believers, Jesus Christ’s Disciples, HELD Their Ground, For Their Entire Lives, Even Up To, And Including, Their Deaths!  So, What Can We Learn, From Their Example; The Answer: We Must NOT Compromise, When It Comes, To Serving GOD Almighty And Jesus Christ, PERIOD!  When IT Comes, To The Holy Bible, AND Specifically The Gospel Of Jesus Christ; When IT Comes, To Standing Up, For GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, And The Holy Spirit; When IT Comes, To Jesus Christ’s Commandments; When IT Comes, To The Lines Of Sin, We MUST Hold Our Ground; Just As, Jesus Christ, Himself, DID, And Just As, Jesus Christ’s Disciples DID; We MUST Have The Same Tenacity, As They DID, WITHOUT Wavering!

Remember, GOD Almighty And Jesus Christ DO NOT CHANGE; THEY Are The Same, Yesterday, TODAY, Tomorrow, And FOREVER; AND THEIR WORD (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), ABIDES, FOREVER!

Now, Does This Mean, It Will Be Easy, On the Contrary . . .

Ephesians 6:12

For We (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Do NOT Wrestle (Spiritually Battle) Against Flesh And Blood (i.e. Mankind), BUT, (We Spiritually Battle) AGAINST Principalities, AGAINST Powers, AGAINST The Rulers Of The Darkness Of THIS Age, AGAINST Spiritual HOSTS Of Wickedness, IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES (i.e. We Spiritually Battle, AGAINST Satan, The Fallen Angels, And Demons)!

John 15:18-21, 23

Jesus Answered, And Said To Him, “IF The World (Satan’s World) Hates YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), YOU Know, That IT (The World) Hated ME (Jesus Christ), BEFORE, IT HATED YOU!  IF YOU (Fellow Believers) Were Of The World (Satan’s World), The World (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Would Love ITS Own!  YET, Because YOU (Fellow Believers) Are NOT Of The World (Satan’s World), BUT, I (Jesus Christ) CHOSE YOU, OUT Of The World (Satan’s World), Therefore, The World Hates YOU (Fellow Believers)!  Remember The Word That I (Jesus) SAID TO YOU, ‘A Servant (Fellow Believers) Is NOT Greater, Than HIS MASTER (Jesus Christ)!’  IF They Persecuted ME (Jesus Christ), They (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Will Also, Persecute YOU (Fellow Believers)!  IF They (Fellow Believers) Kept MY WORD (The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), They Will Keep Yours, Also!  BUT, ALL THESE THINGS, They (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Will DO TO YOU (Fellow Believers), FOR MY NAME’S SAKE (Jesus Christ), Because They Do NOT Know HIM (GOD Almighty), WHO SENT ME (Jesus Christ)!  He (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), Who Hates ME (Jesus Christ), Hates MY FATHER (GOD Almighty), Also!”

1 Corinthians 2:12-13

Now, We (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Have RECEIVED, NOT The Spirit Of The World (Satan), BUT (We Have Received) THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), WHO IS, FROM GOD (GOD Almighty), That We (Fellow Believers) Might Know The (Spiritual) Things, That Have Been FREELY GIVEN, To Us, BY GOD (GOD Almighty)!  These (Spiritual) Things, We (Fellow Believers) Also SPEAK, NOT IN WORDS, Which Man’s Wisdom Teaches (THROUGH Satan), BUT (IN Words) Which, The Holy Spirit TEACHES (Us, Fellow Believers), Comparing Spiritual Things, With Spiritual (Things)!

Colossians 2:8-10, 20, 22b

Beware, Lest Anyone (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Cheat YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Through Philosophy And Empty Deceit (THROUGH Satan), According To The Tradition Of Men (THROUGH Satan), According To The Basic Principles Of The World (Satan’s World); And NOT According To Christ!  For IN HIM (Jesus Christ) DWELLS, All The Fullness Of The GODHEAD (GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, And The Holy Spirit), BODILY; And YOU (Fellow Believers) Are COMPLETE, IN HIM (Jesus Christ), WHO IS THE HEAD Of All Principality (Rule And Authority), And Power!  Therefore, IF YOU (Fellow Believers) Died With Christ, From The Basic Principles Of The World (Satan’s World); WHY, AS THOUGH LIVING, IN The World (Satan’s World), Do YOU Subject Yourselves To Regulations (THROUGH Satan), According To The Commandments And Doctrines Of Men (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers, THROUGH Satan)?

James 4:4

Adulterers And Adulteresses!  DO YOU (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) NOT KNOW That Friendship With The World (Satan’s World), IS Enmity With GOD (GOD Almighty)?  Whoever (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Therefore, Wants To Be A Friend Of The World (Satan’s World), Makes Himself, An Enemy Of GOD (GOD Almighty)!

1 Peter 5:8-9

BE SOBER (Spiritually Alert), BE VIGILANT (Be Watchful); Because, Your Adversary (THE Adversary), The Devil (Satan), Walks About Like A Roaring Lion, Seeking Whom, He May Devour!  Resist Him (Satan), Steadfast (Firm), IN THE FAITH (FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), KNOWING, That The Same Sufferings (Spiritual Attacks) Are Experienced, By Your Brotherhood (Fellow Believers), IN The World (Satan’s World)!

1 John 2:15-17

Do NOT Love The World (Satan’s World), OR The Things, IN The World!  IF Anyone (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Loves The World (Satan’s World), THE LOVE Of THE FATHER (GOD Almighty), Is NOT In Him!  For All That IS, IN The World (Satan’s World) — The Lust Of The Flesh (THROUGH Satan), The Lust Of The Eyes (THROUGH Satan), And The Pride Of (This) Life (THROUGH Satan) — IS NOT Of THE FATHER (GOD Almighty), BUT IS Of The World (THROUGH Satan)!  And The World (Satan’s World) IS Passing Away, And The Lust Of IT; BUT He (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), Who Does THE WILL Of GOD (GOD Almighty), ABIDES FOREVER!

1 John 4:4-6

YOU ARE Of GOD, Little Children (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), And Have Overcome Them (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers); Because, HE (GOD Almighty), WHO IS IN YOU (Fellow Believers), IS Greater Than, He (Satan) Who Is, IN The World (Satan’s World)!  They (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Are Of The World (Satan’s World)!  Therefore, They Speak, AS Of World (Satan’s World), And The World (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Hears Them!  We (Fellow Believers) ARE Of GOD (GOD Almighty)!  He (Fellow Believers), WHO KNOWS GOD (GOD Almighty), HEARS Us; He (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), Who Is NOT Of GOD, Does NOT Hear Us!  BY THIS, We (Fellow Believers) KNOW, THE SPIRIT Of TRUTH (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), AND The Spirit Of Error (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers – Children Of Satan)!

2 Corinthians 6:2b-10

BEHOLD, NOW IS, THE ACCEPTED TIME; BEHOLD, NOW IS, THE DAY Of SALVATION!

We (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Give NO Offense, IN Anything, That Our Ministry May NOT Be Blamed!  BUT, IN ALL THINGS, We (Fellow Believers) Commend Ourselves, As Ministers Of GOD (Ambassadors For Christ): IN Much Patience (IN Endurance), IN Tribulations, IN Needs, IN Distresses, IN Stripes, IN Imprisonments, IN Tumults (IN Uproars), IN Labors, IN Sleeplessness, IN Fastings; BY Purity, BY Knowledge, BY Longsuffering, BY Kindness, BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, BY Sincere Love, BY THE WORD Of TRUTH (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), BY THE POWER Of GOD (GOD Almighty), BY THE ARMOR Of RIGHTEOUSNESS (The Whole ARMOR Of GOD Almighty) On The Right Hand And On The Left, BY Honor AND Dishonor, BY Evil Report AND Good Report; As Deceivers, And YET, True; As Unknown, And YET, Well Known; As Dying, And Behold, We LIVE; As Chastened, And YET, NOT Killed; As Sorrowful, YET,  Always Rejoicing; As Poor, YET, Making Many Rich; As Having NOTHING, And YET, POSSESSING ALL THINGS (EVERLASTING LIFE – IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, And All The Rest Of The Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER)!

Fellow Believers, Many Things Are Wrong, And They Are Always Wrong; From Murder (Especially, The Murder Of Yet-To-Be-Born Children) To Sexual Immorality (i.e. Adultery, Bestiality, Incest, Pedophilia, Pornography, Prostitution, Sex Between Two Men, Sex Between Two Women, Sex Between Mankind And Machines, i.e. Sex Robots, Virtual Reality Devices, etc., Sodomy, Transgenderism (Including, Transgender Surgery), etc.; And We, As The Body Of Christ, MUST Stand Firm, On All Of These Issues, And More; Just As Jesus Christ, Himself, DID, And Just As, Jesus Christ’s Disciples DID, WHO WERE BEFORE Us!

Ephesians 4:4-6, 11-15

THERE IS: ONE BODY (The Body Of Christ) AND ONE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), Just As, YOU (Fellow Believers) Were CALLED (To Be Children Of GOD Almighty), IN ONE HOPE (Of EVERLASTING LIFE) Of Your Calling; ONE LORD (Jesus Christ), ONE FAITH (FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), ONE BAPTISM (With The Holy Spirit); ONE GOD AND FATHER Of ALL (GOD Almighty), WHO IS, ABOVE ALL, AND THROUGH ALL, AND IN YOU ALL (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty)!

And HE (Jesus Christ) Himself, Gave Some (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), TO BE Apostles, Some Prophets, Some Evangelists, And Some Pastors, And Teachers; For The Equipping Of The Saints (Fellow Believers), For The Work Of Ministry, For The Edifying Of THE BODY Of CHRIST; Till We All (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Come, To THE UNITY Of THE FAITH (FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ); And Of The Knowledge Of THE SON Of GOD (Jesus Christ), To A Perfect Man, To The Measure Of The Stature Of THE FULLNESS Of CHRIST; THAT We (Fellow Believers) Should NO Longer Be Children, Tossed To And Fro, And Carried About, With Every Wind Of (FALSE) Doctrine (THROUGH Satan), By The Trickery Of Men (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), IN The Cunning Craftiness Of Deceitful Plotting (THROUGH Satan); BUT, SPEAKING THE TRUTH (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), IN LOVE, May Grow Up (Spiritually), IN All Things, INTO HIM, WHO IS THE HEAD — CHRIST!

Folks, We MUST Teach The Entire Holy Bible, Including, And Especially, Holy Bible Prophecy, Which IS, Our Blessed Hope!

Fellow Believers, The Pressure To Accept Sin, Such As, Proclaiming The Murder Of Yet-To-Be-Born Children, As A Basic Human Right, Alternative Lifestyles And Families (i.e. The LGBTQ+ Community, And In Turn, Same Sex Unions), Transgenderism (And In Turn, Transgender Surgery), DNA Manipulation, Artificial Intelligence And Its Usage, etc., As Being Normal, And Acceptable, IS Growing, At An All Too Alarming Rate!

And Now, The Most Vile YET, Gender Confusion – The Ultimate Confusion – For An Individual NOT To Comprehend, The Most Basic Concept Of Humanity, Of What It Truly Means, TO Be Born, Biologically (i.e. Genetically), A Male Human Being (With Male Sexual Organs), OR TO Be Born, Biologically (i.e. Genetically), A Female Human Being (With Female Sexual Organs), AND TO Remain, As Such, As GOD Almighty Intended.

Romans 8:31

What Then, Shall We Say To These Things?  IF GOD (GOD Almighty) IS FOR Us (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), WHO CAN BE AGAINST Us?

YES, THIS IS Satan’s World, And We Live, IN Satan’s World; BUT, We Are NOT, Of Satan’s World!  And GOD Almighty’s WORD (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), Makes IT Perfectly Clear; That IF Anyone, Wants To Be A Friend Of The World (Satan’s World), He OR She Makes Himself, An Enemy Of GOD Almighty!

Finally, Fellow Believers, We Must, NOT ONLY, RISE UP, To The Height Of The Bar, Set By Jesus Christ’s Disciples; BUT RAISE IT, Even Higher; Proclaiming, To The World (Satan’s World), THAT WE STAND FIRM, IN THE FAITH (FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ); And We Do NOT, And Will NOT Compromise, EVER; AND WE STAND, With GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, And The Holy Spirit, IN The Whole ARMOR Of GOD Almighty, AND Together, As THE BODY Of CHRIST!

Fellow Believers, Until The Being Caught Up Together OCCURS . . .

Remember, Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit; Therefore, Jesus Christ WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit TEACHES Us, And Most Importantly, GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Us, Always!

Wherever YOU Are, Wherever YOU Go, Whatever YOU Do; Be It, In The Natural Physical World, OR In Cyber World; May OUR LORD Jesus Christ, Find YOU, Going About THE FATHER’S BUSINESS, Which IS, Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, As A Good And Faithful Servant!  Amen.

Matthew 13:16 "But BLESSED Are Your Eyes (Believers' Eyes), For They SEE, AND Your Ears (Believers' Ears), For They HEAR!" --- The Gospel Of Jesus Christ!

Why Did GOD Almighty, COME IN THE FLESH, As Jesus Christ?

Psalm 139:1-3, 13-16

O LORD (GOD Almighty), YOU HAVE SEARCHED ME, AND KNOWN ME!  YOU (GOD Almighty) KNOW, My Sitting Down AND My Rising Up; YOU (GOD Almighty) UNDERSTAND My Thought, Afar Off (IN Heaven)!  YOU (GOD Almighty) COMPREHEND, My Path AND My Lying Down, AND Are ACQUAINTED, With All My Ways!

For YOU (GOD Almighty) FORMED My Inward Parts; YOU (GOD Almighty) COVERED Me (YOU Wove Me), IN My Mother’s Womb!  I Will Praise YOU (GOD Almighty), For I Am Fearfully AND Wonderfully MADE; Marvelous Are YOUR WORKS, And THAT, My Soul KNOWS, Very Well!  My Frame Was NOT Hidden From YOU (GOD Almighty), When I Was MADE, IN Secret, AND Skillfully WROUGHT, IN The Lowest Parts Of The Earth (IN My Mother’s Womb)!  YOUR EYES, SAW My Substance, Being YET, Unformed!  And IN YOUR BOOK, They All Were WRITTEN, The Days (Of My Life) FASHIONED For Me, WHEN AS YET, THERE WERE None Of Them!

John 1:12-14

BUT, As Many (Fellow Believers) As RECEIVED HIM (Jesus Christ), To Them, HE (GOD Almighty) GAVE THE RIGHT (The Authority) TO BECOME, CHILDREN Of GOD (GOD Almighty), To Those (Fellow Believers) WHO BELIEVE, IN HIS NAME (Jesus Christ): WHO WERE BORN, NOT Of Blood, NOR Of The Will Of The Flesh, NOR Of The Will Of Man, BUT (Who Were Born) Of GOD (THROUGH The Holy Spirit)!

And THE WORD (Jesus Christ) Became Flesh (IN The Natural Body), And DWELT Among Us, And We Beheld HIS GLORY, THE GLORY, AS Of THE ONLY BEGOTTEN (Son) Of THE FATHER (GOD Almighty), FULL Of GRACE (GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving GRACE), AND TRUTH (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)!

John 3:5-8

Jesus Answered, “Most Assuredly, I (Jesus) SAY TO YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty); UNLESS, One Is Born Of Water (The Natural Body), AND THE SPIRIT (THROUGH The Holy Spirit), He Can NOT Enter THE KINGDOM Of GOD (GOD Almighty)!  THAT, Which Is Born Of The Flesh (The Natural Body), IS Flesh (The Natural Body); AND THAT, Which IS BORN Of THE SPIRIT (THROUGH The Holy Spirit), IS SPIRIT (The Spiritual Body)!  Do NOT Marvel, That I (Jesus) SAID TO YOU, ‘YOU (Fellow Believer) MUST BE BORN AGAIN (THROUGH The Holy Spirit)!’  The Wind Blows Where IT Wishes, And YOU Hear The Sound Of IT; BUT, Can NOT Tell, Where IT Comes From And Where IT Goes!  SO, IS EVERYONE (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), WHO IS BORN Of THE SPIRIT (THROUGH The Holy Spirit)!”

Romans 8:29-30

For Whom (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), HE (GOD Almighty) FOREKNEW (THROUGH The Foreknowledge Of GOD Almighty), HE Also, PREDESTINED, TO BE CONFORMED (IN The Spiritual Body), TO THE IMAGE Of HIS SON (Jesus Christ), THAT HE (Jesus) Might Be THE FIRSTBORN (IN The Spiritual Body), Among Many Brethren (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty)!  Moreover, Whom HE (GOD Almighty) PREDESTINED, These (Fellow Believers), HE Also, CALLED (To Be Children Of GOD Almighty); Whom HE (GOD Almighty) CALLED, These (Fellow Believers), HE Also, JUSTIFIED; AND Whom HE (GOD Almighty) JUSTIFIED, These (Fellow Believers), HE Also, GLORIFIED (IN Our Spiritual Bodies, At The Being Caught Up Together)!

1 Corinthians 15:3-6a

For I Delivered To YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), First Of All, THAT, Which I Also RECEIVED (THROUGH The Holy Spirit): THAT, Christ Died For Our Sins, According To THE SCRIPTURES (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), And THAT, HE (Jesus) Was Buried, And THAT, HE (Jesus) ROSE (ALIVE) AGAIN, The Third Day, According To THE SCRIPTURES (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), And THAT, HE (Jesus) Was SEEN (ALIVE), By Cephas (aka Peter), THEN, (Jesus Was Seen Alive) By The Twelve (Jesus’ Disciples)!  AFTER THAT, HE (Jesus) Was SEEN (ALIVE), By OVER Five Hundred (500+) Brethren (Fellow Believers), At Once (i.e. Jesus’ Crucifixion, Resurrection, AND Subsequent, Ascension – The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)!

1 Corinthians 15:39, 44b-49

ALL FLESH IS NOT THE SAME FLESH; BUT, THERE IS: ONE KIND Of FLESH Of Men (The Natural Body), Another (A Different) Flesh Of Animals, Another (A Different Flesh) Of Fish, AND Another (A Different Flesh) Of Birds!

THERE IS, A Natural Body, And THERE IS, A Spiritual Body!  And So, IT IS Written, “The First Man, Adam, Became A Living Being!”  THE LAST ADAM (Jesus Christ) BECAME A LIFE-GIVING SPIRIT!  However, The Spiritual (Body) Is NOT First, BUT The Natural (Body), And AFTERWARD, The Spiritual (Body)!  The First Man (Adam) WAS Of The Earth, MADE Of Dust (The Natural Body); THE SECOND MAN, IS THE LORD (Jesus Christ) From Heaven (The Spiritual Body)!  As WAS, The MAN Of Dust (The Natural Body), So Also, ARE Those (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), WHO ARE MADE Of Dust (The Natural Body); And As IS, THE HEAVENLY MAN (Jesus Christ, The Spiritual Body), So Also, ARE Those (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), WHO ARE HEAVENLY (The Spiritual Body)!  And As We (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Have Borne The Image Of The MAN Of Dust (The Natural Body), We (Fellow Believers) Shall Also, BEAR THE IMAGE Of THE HEAVENLY MAN (Jesus Christ, The Spiritual Body, At The Being Caught Up Together)!

1 Corinthians 15:51-53

Behold, I Tell YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), A Mystery (Something Once Known, BUT Now, Forgotten): We (Pre-Tribulation Believers) Shall NOT All Sleep (Die A Physical Death Of The Natural Body); BUT, We (Pre-Tribulation Believers) SHALL ALL BE CHANGED (An Instantaneous Supernatural CHANGE, Into Our Spiritual Bodies) — IN A Moment, IN The Twinkling Of An Eye (IN A Millisecond Of Time), AT THE LAST TRUMPET!  For THE TRUMPET (Of GOD Almighty) Will SOUND, And THE DEAD (IN CHRIST, Pre-Tribulation Dead Believers) Will Be RAISED (ALIVE) INCORRUPTIBLE (IN Their Spiritual Bodies), AND We (Pre-Tribulation LIVING Believers) SHALL BE CHANGED (An Instantaneous Supernatural CHANGE, Into Our Spiritual Bodies)!  For THIS Corruptible (The Natural Body) MUST Put On INCORRUPTION (The Spiritual Body); And THIS Mortal (The Natural Body) MUST Put On IMMORTALITY (The Spiritual Body)!

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Therefore, We (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Do NOT Lose Heart! Even Though, Our Outward Man (The Natural Body) IS Perishing; YET, THE INWARD MAN (The Spiritual Body), IS Being Renewed, Day By Day!  For Our Light Affliction (The Natural Body), Which IS, BUT For A Moment, IS Working For Us (Fellow Believers), A Far More Exceeding AND Eternal Weight Of Glory (The Spiritual Body); While We (Fellow Believers) Do NOT Look, At The (Earthly) Things (IN Satan’s World), Which Are SEEN; BUT, (We Look) At The (Spiritual) Things (IN Heaven), Which Are NOT Seen!  For The (Earthly) Things (IN Satan’s World), Which Are SEEN, ARE Temporary; BUT, The (Spiritual) Things (IN Heaven), Which Are NOT Seen, ARE ETERNAL!

Ephesians 1:13-14

IN HIM (Jesus Christ), YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Also, TRUSTED, AFTER YOU Heard, THE WORD Of TRUTH, THE GOSPEL Of YOUR SALVATION (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ); IN WHOM (Jesus Christ), Also, Having BELIEVED, YOU (Fellow Believers) Were SEALED (FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER), With The Holy Spirit Of Promise, WHO IS, THE GUARANTEE (The Down Payment) Of OUR INHERITANCE (EVERLASTING LIFE, IN The Kingdom Of GOD Almighty), UNTIL The Redemption Of The Purchased Possession (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty, At The Being Caught Up Together), To The Praise Of HIS (Jesus Christ’s) GLORY!

Ephesians 2:8-10

FOR BY GRACE (GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving GRACE), YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Have Been SAVED (FROM The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION), THROUGH FAITH (FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), And That, NOT Of Yourselves; IT IS, THE GIFT Of GOD (GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT Of SALVATION), NOT Of (Mankind’s) Works; Lest Anyone Should Boast!  For We (Fellow Believers) Are HIS (GOD Almighty’s) WORKMANSHIP, CREATED, IN Christ Jesus, For Good Works (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us), Which GOD (GOD Almighty) PREPARED, BEFOREHAND (BEFORE, We Were Even Born), THAT We (Fellow Believers) Should Walk, IN Them!

Philippians 3:20-21

For Our Citizenship, IS IN Heaven, From Which, We (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Also, Eagerly Wait, For THE SAVIOR, THE LORD, Jesus Christ (At The Being Caught Up Together); WHO WILL TRANSFORM, Our Lowly Body (The Natural Body), That IT May Be CONFORMED, TO HIS GLORIOUS BODY (The Spiritual Body), According To THE WORKING, By Which, HE (Jesus Christ) IS ABLE, EVEN, TO SUBDUE, All Things, To Himself!

1 Timothy 2:3-6

FOR THIS IS GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE, IN THE SIGHT Of GOD (GOD Almighty), OUR SAVIOR, WHO DESIRES All Men (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), TO BE SAVED (FROM The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION), And To Come To The Knowledge Of THE TRUTH (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)!  FOR THERE IS: ONE GOD (GOD Almighty), And ONE MEDIATOR, Between GOD And Men, THE MAN, Christ Jesus; WHO GAVE HIMSELF, A Ransom For All (i.e. Jesus’ Crucifixion, Resurrection, AND Subsequent, Ascension – The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), TO BE TESTIFIED, IN Due Time!

1 Timothy 3:16

And Without Controversy, Great Is THE MYSTERY Of GODLINESS: GOD WAS MANIFESTED, IN The Flesh (IN The Natural Body, IN The Form Of Jesus Christ), JUSTIFIED, IN THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), SEEN By Angels, PREACHED Among The Gentiles, BELIEVED ON, IN The World, RECEIVED UP, IN GLORY (i.e. Jesus’ Life, Crucifixion, Resurrection, AND Subsequent, Ascension – The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)!

Hebrews 2:14-15, 17

Inasmuch Then, As The Children (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), Have Partaken Of Flesh And Blood (The Natural Body), HE (Jesus Christ), Himself, Likewise, Shared In The Same (The Natural Body); That THROUGH Death (Physical Death Of The Natural Body), HE (Jesus) Might DESTROY Him, Who Had The Power Of Death, That Is, The Devil (Satan); And RELEASE Those (Fellow Believers), Who THROUGH Fear Of Death (The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION), Were All Their Lifetime, Subject To Bondage (The Bondage Of Sin)!

Therefore, IN ALL THINGS, HE (Jesus Christ) Had To Be MADE (IN The Natural Body), Like HIS Brethren (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), That HE (Jesus) Might Be, A Merciful And Faithful High Priest (Our ONLY Priest), IN THINGS PERTAINING TO GOD (GOD Almighty), To Make Propitiation, For The Sins Of The People (Paying Our Sin-Debt, IN Full, i.e. Jesus’ Crucifixion, Resurrection, AND Subsequent, Ascension – The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)!

Hebrews 10:5-10, 14, 17-18

Therefore, WHEN HE (Jesus Christ) CAME, Into The World, HE (Jesus) Said: “Sacrifice And Offering, YOU (GOD Almighty) Did NOT Desire; BUT, A Body (The Natural Body), YOU (GOD Almighty) Have PREPARED For ME!  IN Burnt Offerings, And SACRIFICES For Sin, YOU (GOD Almighty) Had NO Pleasure!  THEN, I (Jesus) Said, ‘BEHOLD, I (Jesus) HAVE COME — IN THE VOLUME Of THE BOOK (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), IT IS WRITTEN Of ME (Jesus Christ) — TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD!’”  Previously Saying, “Sacrifice And Offering, Burnt Offerings, And OFFERINGS For Sin, YOU (GOD Almighty) Did NOT Desire, NOR Had Pleasure, IN THEM” (Which Are Offered, According To The Law – The Old Covenant); THEN, HE (Jesus) Said, “BEHOLD, I (Jesus) HAVE COME, TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD!”  HE (GOD Almighty) TAKES AWAY The First (The Old Covenant), That HE (GOD Almighty) May ESTABLISH The Second (The New Covenant)!  BY THAT WILL (GOD Almighty’s Will), We (Fellow Believers) Have Been SANCTIFIED (Set Apart), THROUGH The Offering Of The Body Of Jesus Christ, ONCE FOR ALL (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty)!”

FOR BY ONE OFFERING, HE (Jesus Christ) HAS PERFECTED, FOREVER, Those (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Who Are Being SANCTIFIED!  THEN, HE (The Holy Spirit) ADDS, “Their Sins And Their Lawless Deeds, I (GOD Almighty) Will Remember, NO More!”  Now, Where There Is REMISSION (Cleansing) Of These (Fellow Believers), THERE IS NO LONGER, An Offering For Sin (Period)!

1 John 2:24-25

Therefore, Let THAT (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), ABIDE IN YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), Which YOU Heard From The Beginning!  IF What YOU Heard From The Beginning, ABIDES IN YOU, YOU (Fellow Believers) Also, WILL ABIDE IN THE SON (Jesus Christ), AND (Abide) IN THE FATHER (GOD Almighty)!  AND THIS, IS THE PROMISE, THAT HE (Jesus Christ) HAS PROMISED Us (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) — ETERNAL LIFE (EVERLASTING LIFE – IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, And All The Rest Of The Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER)!

Fellow Believers, Have YOU Ever Noticed, That GOD Almighty Took Human Form, IN The Natural Body, IN The Form Of Jesus Christ; And THEN, AFTER HIS Resurrection, Jesus Received HIS Spiritual Body, BEFORE, Ascending ALIVE, Into Heaven; Well, THIS Same Process, Is Something Each Of Us, MUST Also Do, IF We Want To Enter The Kingdom Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER!  We Were Born, IN The Natural Body, And THROUGH The Foreknowledge Of GOD Almighty, HE KNEW, We Would Acknowledge GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving GRACE, AND Accept GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT Of SALVATION (Which COMES ONLY, THROUGH Jesus Christ); Thereby, Becoming Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty; And One Day, Very Soon, WHEN Jesus Christ COMES, FOR HIS BRIDE, We Will RECEIVE Our Spiritual Bodies, At The Being Caught Up Together; That’s Right, We Will Complete, The Required Process, From Natural Body, To The Spiritual Body, To EVERLASTING LIFE!

Fellow Believers, Until The Being Caught Up Together OCCURS . . .

Remember, Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit; Therefore, Jesus Christ WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit TEACHES Us, And Most Importantly, GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Us, Always!

Wherever YOU Are, Wherever YOU Go, Whatever YOU Do; Be It, In The Natural Physical World, OR In Cyber World; May OUR LORD Jesus Christ, Find YOU, Going About THE FATHER’S BUSINESS, Which IS, Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, As A Good And Faithful Servant!  Amen.

Matthew 13:16 "But BLESSED Are Your Eyes (Believers' Eyes), For They SEE, AND Your Ears (Believers' Ears), For They HEAR!" --- The Gospel Of Jesus Christ!

IN Preparation, For The Judgment Seat Of Christ

2 Corinthians 5:9-10a

Therefore, We (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Make IT Our Aim, Whether Present OR Absent (i.e. IN Public Or IN Private), To Be Well Pleasing To HIM (Jesus Christ)!  For We (Fellow Believers) MUST All Appear, Before THE JUDGMENT SEAT Of CHRIST (At The Being Caught Up Together)!

Luke 21:36

THEN, HE (Jesus) Said To Them, “WATCH (Be Spiritually Alert) Therefore, And PRAY Always, That YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) May Be COUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE (At The Being Caught Up Together), All These Things (The Seven Year Tribulation), That Will COME TO PASS, And To Stand (IN Heaven), Before THE SON Of MAN (Jesus Christ, DURING The Seven Year Tribulation)!”

Fellow Believers, We Want To Be Found, By Jesus Christ, Going About THE FATHER’S BUSINESS; Which Is, Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ!

Matthew 6:19

THEN, HE (Jesus) Opened HIS Mouth, And Taught Them, Saying: “Do NOT Lay Up For Yourselves (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), Treasures On Earth, Where Moth And Rust Destroy, And Where Thieves, Break In And Steal; BUT, Lay Up For Yourselves (Fellow Believers), Treasures In Heaven, WHERE, NEITHER Moth NOR Rust Destroys, And WHERE Thieves, Do NOT Break In And Steal!  For WHERE Your Treasure IS; THERE, Your Heart, Will Be Also!”

Romans 12:2

And Do NOT Be Conformed, To THIS World (Satan’s World); BUT, BE TRANSFORMED, By The Renewing Of Your Mind (THROUGH The Holy Spirit); THAT YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) MAY PROVE, WHAT IS, THAT GOOD, AND ACCEPTABLE, AND PERFECT, WILL Of GOD (GOD Almighty)!

1 Corinthians 9:24-25

DO YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) NOT KNOW, That Those Who Run In A Race, All Run, BUT One Receives The Prize?  RUN, IN Such A Way, That YOU (Fellow Believers) May Obtain IT!  And Everyone Who Competes, FOR THE PRIZE, Is Temperate (Self-Controlled), IN All Things!  Now, They DO IT, To Obtain A Perishable Crown; BUT We (Fellow Believers, Do It), FOR AN IMPERISHABLE CROWN!

1 Corinthians 13:11-12

When I Was A Child, I SPOKE, As A Child, I UNDERSTOOD, As A Child, I THOUGHT, As A Child; BUT, When I Became A Man, I PUT AWAY Childish Things!  FOR NOW, We (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) SEE (Jesus), IN A Mirror, Dimly; BUT THEN, (At The Being Caught Up Together, We Shall See Jesus) Face TO Face!  NOW, I KNOW (Jesus) IN Part, BUT THEN, (At The Being Caught Up Together) I Shall KNOW (Jesus), Just As, I Also, Am KNOWN (By Jesus)!

2 Corinthians 3:18

BUT, We All (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), With Unveiled Face, Beholding As, IN A Mirror, THE GLORY Of THE LORD (Jesus Christ); Are Being TRANSFORMED, Into The Same Image, From GLORY TO GLORY; Just As, BY THE SPIRIT Of THE LORD (The Holy Spirit)!

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Therefore, We (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Do NOT Lose Heart! Even Though, Our Outward Man (The Natural Body) IS Perishing; YET, THE INWARD MAN (The Spiritual Body), IS Being Renewed, Day By Day!  For Our Light Affliction (The Natural Body), Which IS, BUT For A Moment, IS Working For Us (Fellow Believers), A Far More Exceeding AND Eternal Weight Of Glory (The Spiritual Body); While We (Fellow Believers) Do NOT Look, At The (Earthly) Things (IN Satan’s World), Which Are SEEN; BUT, (We Look) At The (Spiritual) Things (IN Heaven), Which Are NOT Seen!  For The (Earthly) Things (IN Satan’s World), Which Are SEEN, ARE Temporary; BUT, The (Spiritual) Things (IN Heaven), Which Are NOT Seen, ARE ETERNAL!

Colossians 3:1-4

IF THEN, YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Were RAISED, With Christ; SEEK Those (Spiritual) Things, Which Are ABOVE (IN Heaven), WHERE CHRIST IS; Sitting At The Right Hand Of GOD (GOD Almighty)!  SET Your Mind, On (Spiritual) Things, ABOVE (IN Heaven); NOT On Things, On The Earth (IN Satan’s World)!  For YOU (Fellow Believers) DIED (To Sin), And Your (Eternal) Life, IS HIDDEN, With Christ, IN GOD (GOD Almighty)!  WHEN CHRIST, WHO IS Our Life (EVERLASTING LIFE), APPEARS (At The Being Caught Up Together); THEN, YOU (Fellow Believers) Also, Will Appear, With HIM (Jesus Christ), IN GLORY (In Our Spiritual Bodies, At The Being Caught Up Together)!

Colossians 3:23-24

And Whatever YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) DO, Do IT Heartily, As To THE LORD (Jesus Christ), And NOT To Men; KNOWING, That From THE LORD (Jesus Christ), YOU (Fellow Believers) Will Receive, THE REWARD Of THE INHERITANCE (EVERLASTING LIFE – IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, And All The Rest Of The Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER); FOR YOU SERVE THE LORD, CHRIST!

1 Thessalonians 2:4

BUT, As We (Fellow Believers) Have Been, APPROVED BY GOD (Children Of GOD Almighty), To Be Entrusted, With THE GOSPEL (Of Jesus Christ); Even So, We (Fellow Believers) Speak, NOT As Pleasing Men; BUT, (Pleasing) GOD (GOD Almighty), WHO TESTS Our Hearts (Believers’ Hearts)!

2 Timothy 2:3-4

YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Therefore, MUST Endure Hardship, As A Good Soldier Of Jesus Christ!  No One, Engaged In (Spiritual) Warfare, Entangles Himself, With The Affairs Of THIS Life (IN The Natural Body); That He May Please Him (Fellow Believers), Who Enlisted Him, As A Soldier (Of Jesus Christ)!

2 Timothy 2:15

Be Diligent (Hardworking), To Present Yourself (Fellow Believers), APPROVED TO GOD (Children Of GOD Almighty), A Worker (Jesus Christ’s LIGHT), Who Does NOT Need To Be Ashamed (Before GOD Almighty And Jesus Christ), Rightly Dividing (Spiritually Understanding), THE WORD Of TRUTH (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)!

2 Timothy 4:1-2

I CHARGE YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), Therefore, Before GOD (GOD Almighty), AND (Before) THE LORD, Jesus Christ; WHO WILL JUDGE, The Living AND The Dead, AT HIS APPEARING (At The Being Caught Up Together), AND HIS KINGDOM (DURING, HIS 1,000 Reign On Earth, And Beyond): PREACH THE WORD (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)!  BE READY (Spiritually Alert), IN Season AND OUT Of Season (i.e. At All Times)!  Convince, Rebuke, Exhort (Encourage), With All Longsuffering (Patience), And Teaching (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ; Including, Holy Bible Prophecy)!

2 Timothy 4:8

Finally, There Is Laid Up For Me, THE CROWN Of RIGHTEOUSNESS, Which THE LORD (Jesus Christ), THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE, Will Give To Me, ON THAT DAY (The Being Caught Up Together); And NOT To Me, ONLY, BUT Also, To All (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), Who Have Loved HIS (Jesus Christ’s) APPEARING (At The Being Caught Up Together)!

Hebrews 12:1-2

Therefore, We (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Also, Since We Are Surrounded, By So Great A Cloud Of Witnesses, Let Us (Fellow Believers) Lay Aside Every Weight, And The Sin, Which So Easily Ensnares Us; And Let Us (Fellow Believers), Run With Endurance, THE RACE (TO EVERLASTING LIFE), That Is Set Before Us; LOOKING Unto Jesus, The Author AND Finisher Of OUR FAITH (FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ); WHO, For The Joy, That Was Set Before HIM (The Redemption Of Our Souls), Endured THE CROSS, Despising The Shame (Of All Mankind’s Sin, Being Thrust Upon HIM), And Has Sat Down (IN Heaven), At The Right Hand Of THE THRONE Of GOD (i.e. Jesus’ Crucifixion, Resurrection, AND Subsequent, Ascension)!

James 1:12

BLESSED IS The Man (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), Who Endures Temptation; For When He Has Been APPROVED, He Will Receive THE CROWN Of (Everlasting) LIFE, Which THE LORD (Jesus Christ) Has PROMISED, To Those (Fellow Believers), Who Love HIM!

1 Peter 5:4

AND WHEN THE CHIEF SHEPHERD (Jesus Christ) APPEARS (At The Being Caught Up Together), YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Will Receive THE CROWN Of GLORY, That Does NOT Fade Away!

THEN, HE (Jesus) Said To HIS Disciples, “Let Your Waist Be Girded, And YOUR (Spiritual) Lamps, Burning; And YOU (Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), Yourselves, Be Like Men Who Wait For THEIR MASTER (Jesus Christ), When HE Will Return, From The Wedding (i.e. FROM Heaven); That WHEN HE (Jesus Christ) COMES And Knocks (At The Being Caught Up Together), They (Fellow Believers) May Open To HIM (Jesus Christ), Immediately!  BLESSED ARE Those Servants (Fellow Believers), Whom THE MASTER (Jesus Christ), WHEN HE COMES (At The Being Caught Up Together), Will Find WATCHING (Spiritually Alert)!  Assuredly, I (Jesus) SAY TO YOU (Fellow Believers) That HE (The Master – Jesus Christ) Will GIRD Himself, And Have Them Sit Down, TO EAT, And (Jesus Christ) Will COME And SERVE Them!  And IF HE (Jesus Christ) Should COME (At The Being Caught Up Together), IN The Second Watch, OR COME, IN The Third Watch, And Find THEM (Fellow Believers) SO (i.e. Watching), BLESSED ARE Those Servants!  Therefore, YOU (Fellow Believers) Also, BE READY (Spiritually Alert), For THE SON Of MAN (Jesus Christ) IS COMING (At The Being Caught Up Together), At An Hour, YOU Do NOT Expect!”

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

For THE LORD (Jesus Christ), Himself, Will DESCEND From Heaven, With A Shout, With The Voice Of An Archangel, AND With THE TRUMPET Of GOD (GOD Almighty)!  And THE DEAD IN CHRIST (Pre-Tribulation Dead Believers) Will RISE (ALIVE, IN Their Spiritual Bodies), FIRST!  THEN We (Pre-Tribulation LIVING Believers), Who Are Alive AND Remain (On Earth, For The Moment), Shall Be (Instantaneously Supernaturally CHANGED, Into Our Spiritual Bodies, And THEN) CAUGHT UP (Snatched Away), Together With Them (The Dead In Christ), IN The Clouds (Far Above The Earth), To Meet THE LORD (Jesus Christ), IN The Air (And Be Taken, Into Heaven, By Jesus Christ, Himself)!  And Thus, We (RISEN Pre-Tribulation Dead Believers, And CHANGED Pre-Tribulation LIVING Believers) Shall Always Be, With THE LORD (Jesus Christ)!

Fellow Believers, Until The Being Caught Up Together OCCURS . . .

Remember, Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit; Therefore, Jesus Christ WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit TEACHES Us, And Most Importantly, GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Us, Always!

Wherever YOU Are, Wherever YOU Go, Whatever YOU Do; Be It, In The Natural Physical World, OR In Cyber World; May OUR LORD Jesus Christ, Find YOU, Going About THE FATHER’S BUSINESS, Which IS, Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, As A Good And Faithful Servant!  Amen.
