The Boarding Pass

Boarding Pass

She was the cutest little puppy they had ever seen.

"Can we take her home, mom?" Tina was excited as she held the cute little bugger in her arms.

"How can we not," replied her mom.

As they hurried home they noticed a terrible change in the sky during mid-day. The sky turned pitch- black.

 *Isaiah 60:2*

*“For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.”*

Tina's father, John, was overjoyed at seeing their new puppy but something else was on his mind.

Why is it so dark out there? Is there a storm coming?

The sky was completely dark except for the horizon that had a sliver of light.

He rushed to his television set and tried to find some news. He turned to a station that viewed a couple embracing. It was one of those reality shows that had a celebrity and a guest joined together to meet some challenge. When they were successful the show's couple seemed to reward each other with a kiss. 

A day like this and no news about the darkness. John was perturbed. As he was about to turn the television set off he finally found a station that had a special bulletin. It sounded like they were saying that the earth is having a visitation from God. He was shown some pictures from a satellite that showed orbs hovering above the earth. Streaks of light were being drawn up into the bright orbs from something coming from the earth through the atmosphere.

"This could be it," John yelled to his family. "I think people are being raptured."

His words didn't affect his family too much since they were more concerned about playing with their new puppy than listening to John.

The sky started to brighten and John rushed to his window to view the city. Their apartment had a great view of the city. What John saw from his window startled him. He saw giant orbs transporting people so fast that they looked like streaks of light. The spheres or orbs emitted so much light that they made the darkness of the sky appear as light again.

Psalms 18:28

“For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.”

John knew this scripture very well,

*1 Thessalonians 4:16*

*“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:”*

That's what the orbs were doing in space. The dead are being raised.  John was now getting very excited but then he had this one thought that took all his joy away, why am I still here? Am I left behind?

*1 Thessalonians 4:17*

*“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”*

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The most beautiful angelic beings were gathering Christian families together. They were like beautiful stewardesses checking for boarding passes. They were in every building gathering the beloved of God together in family groups before transporting them.

John continued having fear until the angels came to his chosen dwelling. They didn't waste time. They gathered his family together. Nothing was able to stop their visitation. They could walk through walls if they desired. They moved quickly and decisively.

John looked upon the face of one of the angelic being who had such a beauty and joy that it took his fear instantly away. The angel, however, responded shyly. She turned away bashfully breaking John's long stare.

All his family was transported that day in a beam of light unto the spheres that were waiting for them. They now awaited the Lord of Glory: *"to meet the Lord in the air"*

 END…

This was just a dream. No idea what to make of it. I don't know about you, but spiritual dreams for me are very rare. It sounds unusual being beamed up into some kind of spherical craft. Another problem for me was that all the angels that were seen were female. The Bible uses only masculine forms when dealing with angels. It could be that angels are neither male nor female. They have such beautiful faces that they appear as beautiful women. Who really knows unless you've seen one?

1 Corinthians 15:52

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

I know one thing: whenever beamers get beamed up they move really fast…Larry Zoro

The Beamers believe in the rapture of the Church. Of course rapture is not mentioned in the Bible. It is a Latin word. It simply means to be caught up or taken away.

Prior to or during the earthquake is when I believe we are going to be taken. It is mentioned in the Bible and is not some dream or vision.

Mark 13:27

“And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.”

When is this going to take place?

But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

"And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven" Mark 13:24-27.

Look at the fact that the elect are not gathered from the earth after the earthquake but from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth. They are in the sky waiting for Christ.

You will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. You will not be caught up after suffering the big quake.

"The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished" 2 Peter 2:9.

That is why the Lord is our rescuer and deliverer. He is merciful and good.

Keep tuned into this community and I will be sharing more on the coming earthquake.

Holy Living

I like Lewis Sperry Chafer. I agree with most things he says when he was alive. Look at our position in Christ:

Of the saved one it is said that he is: Elect and called of God (1 Thes. 1:4; 5:24). Redeemed by God through the blood of His Son (Col. 1:14). Reconciled to God by the death of His Son (2 Cor. 5:19). Sheltered eternally under the propitiation made in the blood of Christ (1 John 2:2). Forgiven all trespasses, past, present, and future (Col. 2:13). Condemned no more forever (Rom. 8:1). Justified freely by His grace (Rom. 3:24). Sanctified positionally, or set apart unto God in Christ (1 Cor. 1:30). Perfected forever (Heb. 10:14). Made meet to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light (Col. 1:12). Made accepted in the Beloved (Eph. 1:6). Made the righteousness of God in Him (2 Cor. 5:21). Made nigh to God in Christ Jesus (Eph. 2:13). A child and son of God (John 1:12; 1 John 3:3). Free from the law and dead to the law (Rom. 7:4, 6). Delivered from the power of darkness (Col. 1:13). Translated into the kingdom of God's dear Son (Col. 1:13).

Mr. Chafer made a great list of our position in Christ. We should always be living up to our position. However, sin has a way of making us not worthy of our calling. Before I proceed, let me assure you that no matter how unworthy you are as a christian that you will never lose your position in Christ. It is settle. It is sure. You are now the beloved.

This does not mean that God looks at us with rose colored glasses. God does see us the way we are, with all our faults and blemishes.

I know about the song that says, "What sins are you talking about? God does not remember them no more."

I like the song but is it very Biblical? Let's examine the evidence,

Isaiah 43:25
"I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.

Jeremiah 31:34
No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the LORD. "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."

Jeremiah 50:20
In those days, at that time," declares the LORD, "search will be made for Israel's guilt, but there will be none, and for the sins of Judah, but none will be found, for I will forgive the remnant I spare.

Micah 7:18
Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

Micah 7:19
He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Romans 11:27
For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

Hebrews 10:17
Then he adds: "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more."

These are all great promises. But is there more that we should see in order to get a clearer picture of truth.

Amos 5:12 King James Version (KJV)

"For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right."

Are we jumping the gun and presuming that God is now forgetful about our ever present sins? Don't get me wrong. I am not talking about our salvation or the fact that you can go to God and confess your sins and He will forgive them. I'm talking about an ignorance in thinking we can do anything we want and get away with it because God has blinders on.

Sure Christ saved us on the cross and we are going to Heaven. But are we naive and think that we can put aside holy living and pursue carnal lusts?

I know many of you are now starting to quake in shame while some are getting angry.

You want proof that God sees your sins?

Here it is:

"Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love" Rev. 2:4.

Jesus had something against the early Church and no doubt has something to say against us. He is concerned about the sin that destroys fruitful living. God is not critical in order to damn us to hell fire and brimstone. He is our savior. He wants us to also save us from the presence of sin in our earthly life. Only we can fight the sin that easily besets us.

Revelation is a great book to bring us back down to earth and begin to work out our earthly salvation. However, don't get confused. Only those who have salvation can work it out. When we die, God will work out all the kinks in our thinking and failed living. Our failed living comes at a cost. A cost of rewards. Those who continue to live sinfully without a care will be saved only by the skin of their teeth, and they will suffer loss of rewards.

1 Corinthians 3:15


“If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.”

Let's continue:

"Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent."

Jesus continues in Revelation 2 and preaches repentance. Repentance is another false teaching in many circles. Many believe you must only repent at salvation for salvation. Or some believe you must continue to repent for salvation. There are different strokes for different religious groups in Christianity. Choose your flavor but I choose the truth.

I believe you repent (change of mind) to be saved but it also continues in your salvation. We must also repent of our evil deeds. We do so for discipleship and not for salvation. God does accept us the way we are but also has high hopes for our change. Don't get me wrong, you will change, one way or another but I 'd rather do some changing now then suffer loss of rewards.

Continue to read Revelation and the message to the churches. See if you don't get the same ideas as I do. God is very much involved at viewing us as the we are.

Some of us will have to suffer from God's chastisement for the simple fact that they are deceived in thinking anything goes with God as long as we are saved. Here is something to think on,

Hebrews 12:8

“But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.”

God cannot chastise us if He only looked through rosy glasses. I'm afraid He doesn't. He is looking at most of us right now with all our terrible thoughts and actions.

Let this be a new day in cleaning up. Let's take a fresh shower by confessing our sin and making a new plan to become different. To become better in Christ. What about it? Are you game? Or are you saddened by the fact that you are laden in sin and cannot depart from its tentacles. God wants you to repent so pray. Ask for His help and deliverance. Pray now with me.

Our Father in Heaven. I don't want to be the average Christian. I want to become the best person that I can be. I am a saint, a holy person of God, and now I want to show it. Deliver me, God, from evil and forgive my debts and also keep me from temptation. It is not fun being naughty so make me strong in Christ. Thank you Jesus. I feel great. In Jesus Name...Amen.
