Living Faith

What is popularly said and what the Bible actually says about the Rapture are two completely different things. Most of the Church has changed the qualifications for going in the Rapture to merely being born again - but nowhere do you find that in the Scripture. How could we miss this, it is so big! Today we begin to let the Scripture speak for itself regarding what it takes to go in the Rapture. In other words, what does it mean to truly be Rapture Ready . . This is some of the clearest teaching out there about Why the Rapture is for the Overcomers.

Sermon from 15 Nov. 2023 Why are there wars and why do people kill each other, with children being massacred. Why are there tornadoes and earthquakes and global catastrophes.

If the devil has been able to destroy or steal something in your life, his next strategy is to keep you thinking about that loss so you stay depressed upset and bothered. Which only keeps you from receiving the Restoration God has for you! In Christ you have Hope, something good to look forward to from God. If you have God on your side you are not a prisoner of the past - you are a Prisoner of Hope! And your future really is very bright . .

For the majority of people who call themselves Christian, most of what they believe is not what the Bible actually says, but only what men have taught them that it means. Which is not the same at all. One makes you religious and even nice, but the other actually changes you and makes you like Jesus, effective for the Kingdom of God. His Kingdom is not a matter of talk, but of Power. Can others see the fruit of the Word in your life? Or are you satisfied with being nice and religious . .

If you have never seen from Scripture that the Rapture will not include all believers, this teaching might shock your flesh; it could very well anger you. Truth oftentimes makes us mad before it sets us free. We know that unbelievers will be left behind at the Rapture. But the Bible is clear that some BELIEVERS will be LEFT BEHIND too. Because of incomplete teachings about the Rapture in the modern church, such a doctrine is considered almost anathema. But there it is, plainly stated among other places in the Parable of the Virgins. And once you see it – there will be no going back. You'll just want to be Ready when Jesus appears. Don't get mad. Get ready and stay ready. When Jesus Returns as recorded in Revelation 17:14, the believers are all with Him, but if you'll notice they have three different levels of reward and place with Him. First the Called, then the Chosen, finally the Faithful. Everyone is Called by God, a calling is simply an Invitation. An invitation to what? His will and plan for their life. It can be answered or rejected. Only those that answer the Call and stick with it become the Chosen or the elect. It is a process as we must all grow up to be like Jesus. According to the Bible, the Chosen are the ones who find out and have the opportunity to Do what God created them for. That is why many are Called but few are Chosen. The way is straight and narrow, remember. Chosen is what Jesus' disciples had become by the end of Christ's earthly ministry. "You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you" (John 15:16 NASB). Finally among the Chosen, there are those who were Faithful with His Call and plan for their life. They are the ones who became fruitful, doing what God called them to and becoming productive at it. It takes much time and obedience to be proven Faithful. As one Pastor put it, "a long obedience in the same direction." It is a per individual thing, so no one can be faithful for you. - Pastor Nicholas + Brother Greg Mullins' rapture chapter : https://muchgrace.church/2014/10/09/the-catching-away/ Word Resources – Ministry home site : https://www.muchgrace.church/ Prophet's book : https://www.tribulation-saints.com/ Pastor's book : https://simplicityofchrist314608717.wordpress.com/

Why must the Bride of Christ depart from the earth before the Antichrist can be revealed? Because the Holy Spirit through the Ecclesia [Church] IS the restraining influence of God in the earth. 2 Thessalonians 2 calls the Restrainer both a He and an It. He being the Holy Spirit, It being the Ecclesia. When the Bride of Christ is removed from the midst, the AntiChrist will rise up and ride forward as the Rider on the White Horse . .

As true believers in Jesus, we do not merely have a positive religion – we have a Powerful Faith. Real faith can receive and walk in what Jesus paid for. One of the things Jesus paid for that our faith can receive is Healing for our physical bodies. Hallelujah! We have experienced this blessing for many years to the glory of God. The Bible says that "the rod" and "stripes" are part of the punishment due sin and foolishness. Jesus took our punishment for sin and foolishness when He subjected Himself to the Roman scourge, receiving stripes on His physical body. He did it on our behalf, thereby purchasing Healing for us all . .

The Healer is in the house tonight! Jesus IS the Healer. One of God's Redemptive Covenant Names is Jehovah Rapha, The LORD Our Healer. He WAS The LORD Our Healer then, He is STILL the Healer today. Nobody can say He is no longer the Healer of our physical bodies today because God Himself said, "I the LORD do not change. So you... are not destroyed" (Malachi 3:10). "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" Hebrews 13:8).

The Bible tells us the last days are gonna be tough, difficult and very hard to deal with. No use pretending about that, we all know it to be true. We're here! If we're going to make it in these last days, we are gonna have to be strong. And if you're gonna be strong in these last days you're gonna have to look for reasons to rejoice. For the joy of The Lord is your strength . .

Rapture Readiness is not automatic, and you're not ready just cause you're a born again. Readiness involves something you have to do. . . to be ready. If being ready means you get to go in the Rapture, what does it mean if you're not ready. It means you don't get to go. Of course the heathen won't be raptured, it is Believers Jesus is telling to be Ready. How is it that most Christians aren't ready for the Rapture but still expect to go. . .

The idea of a Door is used repeatedly in multiple Scriptures regarding the Rapture. What is a door. Certainly it is a literal entrance from one space to another. But figuratively the word is used also as an opportunity. When Jesus comes in the Rapture it is going to be an opportunity you do not want to miss out on. And Jesus was talking to Believers when He said it, because the Rapture is not for believers generally. The Rapture is for the overcomers specifically . .

Everything that God offers mankind in Christ is a work He has completely finished. God is not GOING TO save anybody – He ALREADY HAS saved everybody through Jesus. But not all are saved because we each have to Receive what Christ has done individually by faith. It is the same with healing, provision, protection and any other grace God provides. Whatever we need is already offered us in its entirety as the free gift in Christ that it is, but we have to Receive grace by Faith or we will never experience it . .

There used to be a joining between me and sin. I identified with it, I was under it's authority, sin was my master. But since Jesus came and paid the price for my freedom – I have been set apart from sin and all the death came with sin. I have been joined to Jesus, I identify with Him now, I'm under the authority of grace, and I have a New Master. Because of Christ's redemption I am no longer cursed in sin – I am Blessed in Him! And you can be too . .

The God of the Bible is a 'hands-on', involved God. He is not somewhere off in the nethers of the universe busy with much more important things than us. No! We are the object of His affection – Praise God! Because of sin we are not fully lovable in our fallen state. So Father endeavors to Make Us lovable. One of His Redemptive Covenant names is The LORD (Jehovah), Our Maker. And that's what He does. He makes us what we ought to be in Christ Jesus, as if sin and the curse had never touched us . .

Jesus detailed for us signs and events leading up to His Second Coming. The events of the Mid-Tribulation are some of the last sign-posts before Jesus' Return in power and glory at the end of the Great Tribulation. When we put His words together with the prophet Daniel and the book of Revelation, we find the Bible to be so comprehensive and consistent, only God could have inspired it. That's a big part of why Prophecy is given in the Bible - because only the One True God could dictate the future to us with such accuracy. No hocus-pocus going on here. Just an all knowing God telling us the future in advance so we'd learn to trust Him in even the minutest details of our own life now . .

What is Healing? In a few words it is Recovery, to be Cured, Restoration. Healing is the restoring of something from a damaged, distorted, or broken condition. The good news is that Healing is in the Redemption. Which is what Jesus paid to have us, and what Jesus paid for us to have. Certainly anything that Jesus paid for in Redemption, you don't have to ask if it is God's Will or not. He proved His Will when He showed what He was willing to pay for it. Therefore Healing is not a mystery, it can be received by any child of God who will pray the prayer of faith Jesus instructed us about in Mark 11:24 . .

Scripture tells us that as the events of the Last Days unfold, we will see specific Signs being fulfilled. These signs are indicators of our times and the nearness of Christ's Second Coming. Hallelujah! We don't have to get spooky about the signs of the times, we just have to look where and for what Jesus told us to look. And if you know what He said you can see the signs all around us, inspiring us to Look Up! for His soon return . .

Galatians 3:13 NKJV says, "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”)." When we go back to the Old Testament, God expounded the Curse of the Law through Moses. Everything in the Curse is something Christ has redeemed us from. Hallelujah! One of the things repeatedly spoken of is sickness and disease. Sickness is a curse. Therefore Healing for our physical bodies is in the Redemption of Christ . .

God has many different names throughout the Bible, but there is actually a vein of names we refer to as God's Redemptive Covenant Names. These names reveal who God wants to be to us. And He NEVER changes. They are the combination of God's Covenant name of Jehovah or The LORD with titles such as our Provider, our Healer, or Peace, our Righteousness and others. These describe what God does for us and who He is to us. No one can say the great I AM is the I WAS. These names reveal who God IS and always will be to those in Covenant with Him . .

Colossians 2:10 tells that we have been made Complete in Christ. Nothing missing, nothing broken, nothing partial or lacking. Oh, what wholeness and wellness we have in Christ Jesus – spirit soul and body. Hallelujah! But why do we not see more of God's children experiencing this wholeness? Is it God's fault? No. He has already made us complete in Christ. There is a simple yet powerful key hidden in [the plain sight of] the Word of God, that if we line up with it – it works. If we don't, it won't. What is it? Well let's look at it in the Word together . .

Natural people emphasize the natural – spiritual people emphasize the spiritual. God is Spirit and the way He works is by the Spirit through His Word in our hearts. The LORD Our Maker does not want His people looking to outward things to conform us according to God's purposes, cause that's the devil's realm – Satan is "the god of this world" (see 2 Cor. 4:4). People of Faith are not supposed to be outside-in people, we are to be inside-out people. Let us learn how God is shaping and molding us into His image. By the Spirit, on the Inside. Hallelujah!

Just because the Signs of Jesus coming back are all around us does not mean everyone will be expecting Him to come back. Seeing the signs of the times, even seeing miracles right in front of you doesn't force you to believe – it forces you to Decide. For God or against Him. Believing is a Choice and you can choose to believe or not. This is how God wants it. He wants us choosing to believe every day and Looking For His return as a demonstration of our faith. Hallelujah!

Jesus said, "With the same measure YOU use, it will be measured to you...." The Bible tells us that God has distributed a measure of faith to each of us. That means both that none of us are without faith and all of us are without excuse for not using what faith we have. What we do with our faith determines whether it grows or stays the same size. If it grows we can receive more from God. Hallelujah! For we receive from God "by the hearing of [our] faith." (see Galatians 3:1-5) Well, if we want better results from God's grace we should use our measure of faith . .

Christ has Redeemed us from the Curse of the Law. When did He do this? At the Cross. In the very same action that paid for sin. Galatians 3:13 NKJV says, "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”)." Everything in the Curse is something Christ has redeemed us from. Hallelujah! All sickness and disease are part of the Curse.

There is an important question everyone, especially every child of God, should be clear about. My thoughts or your thoughts won't satisfy the heart's longing for Truth. We look inside the Bible for answers to Bible questions. Is it God's will for men to perish and be destroyed? If you think it is God's will for some men to perish at some times, you cannot stand against destruction when it comes to you. Because you are not certain of God's will. The Word of God reveals the will of God. Faith begins where the will of God is Known . .
