Counterfeit Second Coming

Satan is not permitted to counterfeit the manner of Jesus' second coming.  The Savior has warned His people against deception on this point, and has clearly told the manner of His second coming.
See 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17.  Jesus' feet will mot touch the earth when He returns!  He meets us "in the air!"

"even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light." 2 Corinthians 11:14.

There will arise false christs and false prophets, and they will show great signs and miracles, that if it were possible, they will deceive God's very elect.  See Matthew 24:24-27, 31; 25:31. Revelation 1:7.  1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.

There is no possibility of counterfeiting Jesus' second coming!  It will be universally known, witnessed by the entire world. See Revelation 1:7

Only those who have been diligent students of Holy Scripture and have received the love of the truth, will be shielded from the powerful delusion that takes the world captive.

Modern day Miracle Healing

this past Tuesday, may 17, 2016, I was in the hospital emergency room with a head concussion.  I stuttered, was clumsy, extreme headache, stumbled, blurry vision, excessive sleeping and could not concentrate.

I asked fellow church-members to pray for me. They did and instantly I was healed! No more problems at all, and I'm alert!

All praise to our loving Father and Jesus Christ!!!

Lack of Faith? Lack of Healing?

Someone said they were mad at God because their mother, a woman of faith, was not healed and later  died. "why didn't God heal her?," he asked angrily. I was at a loss for words.

But today I learned that a a lack of divine healing does NOT mean the person has a lack of faith!

 The apostle Paul was a man of faith, yet God chose not to heal Paul of his "thorn in the side."

Why some healings occur and others don't is a mystery to us humans. Many times God's ways are past understanding.  I wish there was a more concrete answer I could give. But, keep the faith and trust in God is the best thing in this sinful old world.

Jesus will come soon, and all those who love God above all else will be healed and given perfect bodies, perfect minds, and perfect health at that time.

Creator of the Heavens

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God, and all things were created through Him and nothing was made without Him.

By faith we understand that the world was created by the Word of God, so that what is seen was made of things which cannot be seen.

Scoffers deliberately ignore this fact: that by the Word of God the heavens existed long ago. Since earliest times men have seen God's Creation and have known of His existence and great eternal power. So they will have no excuse for saying, "there is no God".

For in these last days God speaks to us by His Son....through Whom He created the world!

[The Hands that sustain the worlds in space, and holds them in their orderly arrangement, are the Hands that were nailed to the cross!]


Look into the heavens! Who created all these stars and planets? He creates them in number calling each one by its own name. By His great might and strong power not one strays or is lost.

Why do you say that the Lord God does not see your troubles and is not being fair? Don't you know? Haven't you heard?! The everlasting God, the Creator of the Universe, never grows faint or tired. No one can fathom His understanding.

[Remember how He cares for the stars? He loves you even more!]


The above quotes are from these Scriptures: John 1:1-4/ Colossians 1:16/ Hebrews 11:3/ Genesis 2:3/ Nehemiah 9:6/ Psalms 33:8-9; 95:6; 148:3-5/ Acts 17:30-31/ Hebrews 1:2/ Isaiah 40:26-28

The coming of the Anti-christ

For satan himself masquerades as an angel of light! So is it any wonder if his followers pretend to be holy and righteous? Their end will be what they deserve.

Do not believe every person, but test their message to see if they are from God, because many false prophets are in the world.

The coming of the anti-christ will be in accordance with satan's works - displayed in all sorts of counterfeit miracles, signs, wonders and deceitful evil.

The Holy Spirit expressly says, "In the last days some will leave the faith and will believe evil spirits and doctrines of demons."

So watch yourself lest you are weighed down with life's worries and cares, and Christ's Coming catches you off guard. Watch and pray at all times so you will have the strength to keep yourself from evil.

Above quotes from these Scripture Texts: 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 / 1 John 4:1-3/ 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10/ 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17/ 1 Timothy 4:1

Demonic Miracles & Healings?

Many Christians assume that any supernatural power must come from God. Can Satan actually heal? And if so, how can we tell the working of the devil from the working of God?

Just before Jesus’ coming, demons will work miracles, [see Revelation 16:14]. Genuine miracles from the devil! And these satanic powers perform their wonders in the name of Jesus Christ, [see Matthew 7:22-23.]

So false prophets will use Christ's name to practice evil and lawlessness. Through these deceivers the devil performs all kinds of lying wonders to entrap the unsuspecting. Miracles themselves are not proof of God's presence.

Never forget. Some miracles are the work of the devil done in the spirit of lawlessness – violating God’s law. “This is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.” 1 John 5:3.

Genuine love for God is the test, and true love for God means obeying His commandments. Love for God means more than a warm fuzzy feeling in our hearts when we worship. The proof of Christian love is not miracles, not speaking in tongues – the proof is keeping God’s commandments. John 14:15.

Washed-out Bridge

While traveling on a dirt county road Andy noticed, too late, that the bridge was washed out!

Traveling at 30 miles per hour he had no time to stop and the next thing he knew the washed out bridge was behind him!


Andy was so excited that he drove 60 miles back home and brought me to see this amazing sight, and to measure the wash-out and to take photos.

The hole measured seven feet long, twelve feet wide, and ten feet deep. Tire tracks could be plainly seen in the soft dirt road going right to the edge on one side and continuing on the other side - the car had not jumped the hole! Andy felt no bumps or jolts as is common when his little car goes over even the smallest pothole.

Andy explains, "I drove over on God’s hand, there is no other explanation why the car did not fall in the hole. God saved me!

 ‘For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.’ Psalm 91:11.”

TEN YEARS - CANCER FREE!

On February 7th, 2005 I felt large lumps in both breasts. My physician confirmed the lumps and found smaller ones on each side. A February 16th appointment was made at the hospital for a mammogram and ultrasound, with a surgeon standing by for biopsy. I had known women who died from breast cancer. Was I to be another statistic?

The week prior to mammogram I put my life in order by phoning or writing family and friends to put everything “right” between us. Then I rededicated my life to God, asking forgiveness of all my sins. I told God if it was His will for me to die, it was okay as long as I was “right” with Him. I asked for God’s healing in my life, I read the Bible, I prayed earnestly, I did all these things, but the lumps were still there.

February 16, 2005 - mammogram day. I awoke at 5:30 am and watched the sun rise. “What would this day bring,” I pondered.

 I prayed to God to be near, really near.

 At the hospital I changed into the gown and felt my breasts, and, yes, the lumps were still there.

The mammogram was over and so was the ultrasound. I now awaited the surgeon’s decision whether or not to do a biopsy. I could hear him talking fast and loud about my case. He was scaring me! What was he saying? “Why was she brought in? She has no lumps of any size in her breasts! They are completely clear!”

God worked a miracle! I have been cancer free-lump free for Over 12 years!

Healing Miracle

Tonight I was draining spaghetti in boiling water - part of the boiling water drained over my left hand! The pain kept increasing- I asked Andy for a cold, wet cloth - that helped a little but my poor hand was still painful and red. Five minutes later, while praying for healing, the pain was totally gone, the redness was gone and neither symptoms have returned! Praise to God for answering prayer!

A similar miracle happened a few years ago. I had received a present of a beautiful ivory lace blouse. Before going out to dinner I accidentally spilled red cough syrup all over the front - it was ruined! I prayed earnestly and when I opened my eyes the large red stain was completely gone!

Angel Story

Andy (my husband) was in the garage, fixing something under the car with the motor running. As he was moving a linkage a loud, audible voice called out, "Don't touch!" Andy, startled, got out from under the car and looked around to see who was standing next to him, but saw no one. So again he crawled under the car and was moving the linkage when the voice repeated the same words even more loudly. Andy was scared by this and did a double take of what he was doing.

Andy then realized it was the gearshift linkage to put the car in gear! Since the motor was running another move on the linkage would have caused the car to back  over Andy!

We believe the voice was one of God's angels calling out to protect Andy!

Gasoline!

Back when Andy and I were separated, I was left without money. I secured a position, but my first payday was 4 weeks away! I needed gasoline for my big, old car to get me to and from work, and for that I needed money!

On the first day on the job the fuel indicator showed less than a quarter tank. Every morning before work I prayed in faith that the car would get me to work without running out of gas, and every evening I would pray the same prayer for the drive home.

During those 4 weeks the fuel indicator would get down to zero, than the next morning it went back up to 1/4 tank then a couple days later the indicator showed zero and than the next morning it was back up to 1/4 tank - and this continued for that month! I thought perhaps the fuel indicator was wacky, and couldn't wait until I could afford fuel.

Finally I received my pay check, the fuel indicator was zero again, and when filling the car it took a full 18 gallons. This proved to me that the Lord had been miraculously giving me fuel for an entire 4 weeks!

Oh, the Lord blessed me greatly - how He loves to bless! But we must have faith!

Saved from Death

Being diabetic I take insulin before a meal. Just last night I took my insulin injection, and then ate a bowl of lettuce (an insulin shot is not needed to eat lettuce.) Five minutes later I became dizzy, slurred speech, light-headed, and could not stand without falling! I had no idea what was wrong! My husband half-carried me into the bedroom and I laid down. I prayed and my husband prayed. Neither of us realized that I was going into insulin shock and could die! But, God heard our prayers! In fifteen seconds I felt impressed to get out of bed and eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I was restored to health with no bad after-effects! All praise be to God!

Guardian Angel Encounter

Due to my parent’s full house at Christmas, Andy (my husband) and I stayed at the neighbor's guesthouse. At 10 p.m., while walking to the guesthouse alone, a strange man jumped out and said inappropriate words to me. Then he was startled and looked up as if he were seeing a person at least eight feet tall. He gasped, "Wow, your husband is tall!" I replied, "Yes, he is," and the stranger ran away. Then I realized Andy was not with me and what this strange man saw was my guardian angel!

One snowy day there were loud voices outside the window. Peeking out the curtains I saw two horrible men throwing beer cans at our house and trying to smash the house gutters! I prayed, “Jesus, please do something!” Just then a deep, commanding voice said, “Stop!” I thought, “who was that?” and saw the men looking around, so knew they heard the voice too. Then they started throwing things at my house and trying to take the gutters off the house. Again the deep, commanding voice called out, Stop!”, and the two men looked shocked and took off running! Wanting to see the man who spoke with such authority I stepped out the front door and found no one. I believe God came to my rescue!

GOD'S VOICE

A few years ago, while seeing Andy’s grandparents’ graves, we remembered a unique mausoleum. The sealed door was open and Andy wanted to look inside. Feeling suddenly frightened I implored Andy not to get any closer. "Why,” he joked, “Dead people can't hurt you." But seeing how upset I was he agreed to leave and we drove to his parents' house. After telling Andy’s mother the ordeal she turned pale explaining, "I'm so glad you didn’t look inside! One hour ago we heard grave robbers had broken into the mausoleum and coffin, and the sheriff hasn't closed off the area yet. If you had gone in you would have seen the decomposed body!"
*****


While going door-to-door I left literature at one house and then went to the next home. Moments later the man at the first house came out asking me to discuss a Bible topic with him inside his house. At this point the Lord strongly prompted me that this man only meant to harm me and to “get going!” Declining the man’s coaxings I drove to another area, and since learned it was a good thing I did not go into his house! “For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” Psalm 91:11.

Having read that many people die without hope in the resurrection, I pray nightly for the Lord to be with all those who are dying, to comfort them and their families, and to save them all in His Kingdom.

Years ago, in the middle of the night, I awoke with the impression that my California friend, actor James Stewart, was dying. I began praying for the Lord to be very near to James, and for him to ask and receive forgiveness of his sins. An hour later I felt peace that James was safe and fell back asleep. The next morning I learned James had died during the night. Though saddened I believe he will be resurrected at Jesus’ Second Coming. This is a great comfort to me.

Angel Voices

"I will hear what God the Lord will speak...." Psalms 85:8 [KJV] I fully believe the Lord can and will impress people; if He does not then why does the Bible say to "test the spirits, whether they are from God" (See 1 John 4:1).


At work I was strongly impressed by God to leave my office desk and go to the other side of the room. I thought, "How strange!" When reaching the opposite wall a large ceiling fixture fell down breaking my chair and smashing the window next to my desk. It pays to listen to God!


My husband Andy was lying under the car doing engine work with the motor running. While moving a linkage an audible voice called out, "Don't touch!" Getting out from under the car Andy looked to see who was standing next to him. There was no one. Crawling back under the car he moved the linkage again when the voice called out, “Don’t touch!” Andy did a double take of what he was doing; he was moving the gearshift linkage to the reverse position. Since the engine was running another move on the linkage would have caused the car to run over Andy’s chest!

God's Protection in Disasters

God has protected me from many things including natural disasters.

In Alaska, in 1967, we were traveling with Uncle Morris in a motor home. On our way from Fairbanks to Anchorage we planned to camp overnight at a lake but for some reason pulled up camp and drove through the night. The next morning we learned earthquake tremors had struck Fairbanks! The Lord protected.

My hometown of Omaha has been struck by killer tornadoes numerous times. While living in that city my family home never suffered damage and always we were hours away when the storms hit. Often I wondered what future plans the Lord had for me seeing He sheltered me so many times.

In 1998 the Lord urged me to go to the crawl space due to a fast moving, severe thunderstorm headed for my home. The winds were blowing at 108 mph! Tornado sirens began blaring. While trying to remain calm I made myself comfortable on the dirt crawl space floor. While praying, a peace came over me and sensing the protection of Heavenly angels I fell asleep during the worst of the storm. Later my husband came home and the storm was over! It was just like resurrection morning! I fell asleep with the assurance of God's peace and the next thing someone was calling to awaken me.

"Great peace have they which love Thy law: and nothing shall offend them." Psalms 119:165 [KJV]
