Do You Know where You Would Spend Eternity?

If you died today, do you know if you would go to heaven? If you want to be sure that you will, sincerely pray this prayer:"Dear Father God, I know that I am a sinner and that my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry and I want to turn away from my sins. Please forgive me. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins, was resurrected from the dead and is alive and hears my prayers. I invite Jesus into my life to be my Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Please help me to do your will and live my life to please you. Help me to be what you want me to be. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."

Seven Incomparable Benefits of Trusting Christ

Seven Incomparable Benefits of Trusting Christ

(The following principles are summarized from the writings of many scholars of all major denominations.)

From history’s beginning, through prophets and events, the Creator revealed His loving plan to rescue the human race from its self-imposed curse of sin and death. He would do this by sending His Son, who would become a sacrificial Lamb and take the judgment upon Himself of all who would put their trust in Him. This profound event happened about 2,000 years ago when Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, came, was crucified, rose from the grave (seen by more than 500 people), and 40 days later visibly ascended into heaven. When you put your trust in Christ, you become a recipient of the greatest gifts in the universe, fully paid for by the blood of God’s own Son.

You have total forgiveness. All your sins - past, present, and future - were forgiven because Jesus bore them for you on the cross. You are accepted by God, NOT because of what you have done, but BECAUSE OF WHAT HE DID! “For by grace (unmerited favor) you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves (not your efforts), it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).
You have peace with God. “Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ… the love of God has been poured out within our hearts… having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.“(Romans 5:1,5,9). For Jewish readers, this first appearance of Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ in English), as a sacrifice, was predicted throughout Jewish Scriptures. For example, see Isiah, chapter 53.
You have been “born again” into God’s own family. You are a new creature! “If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away, behold, new things have come” (2 Corinthians 5:17). “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:26).
You have eternal life. You will live with God forever! “Whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16). “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son” (1 John 5:11)
God lives in you. You have become a temple, or dwelling place, of God’s Spirit. He lives inside of you! “Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16). “It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me” (Galatians 2:20).
Nothing can separate you from the love of Christ! “Neither death, not life, nor angels, nor principalities, not things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38-39).
God has chosen to share His kingdom with you! “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32). “If children, (we are) heirs also.” (Romans 8:17).

Have you prayed and expressed your faith and trust in Jesus Christ? If not, you can do so right now. Here is a suggested prayer: “Dear Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God and that you died on the cross for my sins to save me from eternal death. I open the door of my life and receive you as my Savior and Lord. Help me to be what you want me to be. Amen.”

But what does God want from me now?

That is probably your question, and a natural one. But remember, God is all powerful and owns the universe. He really does not need anything we have. But He does want something. He desires our love and fellowship. He created us for fellowship with Himself and to enjoy Him forever. Christianity is not a “religion” as many people think. It is a RELATIONSHIP with God. Of course, God also wanted our obedience and submission to His superior wisdom, but mainly for our own good and so that He can use us to be a blessing to others. His ways are always for a loving purpose. The following principles from God’s Word will strengthen your relationship with Him, help you to be a more effective servant, and help you to receive all the blessings that our loving God has for you.

Talk with God continually.
That is what prayer is – talking with God. It also means listening, always in tune to His Spirit, everywhere you may be, day or night. In Jesus’ Name, we have the incredible privilege of communicating directly with the Creator of the universe. “Pray without ceasing!” (1 Thes 5:17)

Read His Word, the Bible.
God will speak with you through His Word. You will learn more about His nature, ways, and His will and the promises for your life. The Gospel of John is a good place to start. A modern translation and good commentary (an NIV Ryrie study bible is great) will help your understanding. “Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path” (Psalm 19:105).

Obey Him.
Our obedience shows our love for God and recognition of who He is. “He who has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is who loves Me, and he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and will disclose Myself to Him (John 14:21). God’s Word says that sin grieves God, hinders our fellowship with Him, and harms ourselves and others. If you do sin, confess and forsake it immediately, then (by faith) receive God’s forgiveness and cleansing according to 1 John 1:9. One of your first acts of obedience should be believer’s baptism in water which is an outward demonstration that when you received Christ as Savior your old nature was buried with Christ and you have risen with Him in His resurrection. Baptism is usually done in the local church. Water baptism does not save, it is an outward sign that you have already been saved, and desire to follow Christ.

Find fellowship with other believers.
Our relationships with other believers are important to God. That is why He established the church, where we can worship together and find fellowship, teaching, counseling, ministry to our special needs, and where God can use us to impart these same blessings to others. “Not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another…” (Hebrews 10:25). Find a Christ-centered, Bible-believing church. But beware of cults (see special report).

Be filled with the Spirit.
(Ephesians 5:18) By faith, be continually empowered for God’s use by His Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8)

You have now entered the most exciting and fulfilling life imaginable! Learn to trust God with every detail of your life. (1 Peter 5:7), tell others about God’s great love, and “good news” (John 15:8); do not give in to your carnal desires (Galatians 5:16:17). May God richly bless you.”

What is a Cult and the Occult

What is a Cult and the Occult?

(The information below is summarized from numerous expert sources and the occult.)

The two words, “cult and occult”, sound similar. But while different, they both pose a similar spiritual threat to people by appearing to be something they are not. Both can cause its victims to miss God’s loving and free provision for their lives through Christ, and cause them to face a tragic, Christless eternity. There are many nice, friendly and caring people in the cults and the occult. God loves them, so much that Christ died for them. They are not our enemy. Our enemy is Satan and his deceiving spirits.

CULTS. In popular usage, “cults” are religious groups predicted by the Bible (2 Peter 2:1) that deviate from the central, historic truths of biblical Christianity and God’s revelation in Christ. Some cults are offshoots of ancient pagan religions, have no similarity to Christianity, and are easy to identify. Others falsely try to imitate Christianity, often using the Bible and Christian terminology, and are more difficult to distinguish. These latter cults typically exhibit one or more of the following traits:

They may consider Jesus Christ as not equal to God the Father, but something less. But Jesus said, “He who has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14.9), and Paul said that Christ is the “image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15). The Bible is repeatedly clear that Jesus is deity, and when on the earth, He was God in human form. We can be redeemed from our sins only because God’s own perfect blood (in Christ) was shed for our perfect cleansing.
They may typically reject the clear biblical revelation of a triune God, sometimes called the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit – one God, not three, but manifest in three Persons. The Bible refers to all three as Persons, yet One. A mystery, but truth.
They may have their own “sacred” book in addition to the Bible. And although they usually deny it, these books conflict with and are given precedence over the Bible.
They typically reject the wonderful biblical truth that salvation is a “free gift” from God by grace through faith alone (this truth glorifies God and not man). Instead, cults and all other “religions” falsely say that people must “earn” their salvation by certain works and deeds, often works that will perpetuate the cult (this glorifies man rather than God).
Cults are often exclusive, centering around a strong leader (or late founder) who has the only “true” interpretations of Scripture. Whereas Christ came to give us freedom, (Galatians 5:1), cult members are in bondage to that cult leader, with the threat that leaving the cult will cause a loss of salvation.

Thousands of cults exist, but here are some major ones listed in most cult reference books: Mormons, Jehovah’s Witness, Christian Science, The Worldwide Church of God (Herbert W. Armstrong), The Unity School of Christianity, The Way International, The Children of God, Scientology, The Unification Church, Unitarianism and the new Age movement (which is also occult).

If involved in any cult- run, don’t walk, to the nearest exit, and find a Christ-centered, Bible-believing church. Also, apply the four-step process which follows toward the end of this page.

References: There are many excellent books available on cult. Four are: The Kingdom of the Cults, by Dr. Walter R. Martin; The Deceivers, by Josh McDowell and Don Stewart; Cult Watch, by Dr. John Ankerberg and John Weldon; and Larson’s New Book of Cults, by Bob Larson.

THE OCCULT. The word “occult” refers to what is hidden, concealed, or secret. The occult involves the spirit world- but the spirit world of darkness. The occult is particularly deceptive because the spirit world is very real. Practitioners are dealing with reality – but dark, forbidden and evil reality.

There are two kinds of spiritual reality. The first is God’s spiritual kingdom of truth and light where Christ is King, the nature of which is “righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17), and where God’s holy angels dwell, worship, and serve Him. The second is the world of Satan (a fallen angel); a world of deceit and hopelessness, void of God, where other fallen angels (demons) who hate God, work to advance this evil kingdom under their leader, Satan.

The Bible does not reveal a “dualism”, or co-equal forces of good (God) and evil (Satan). Satan is totally subject to the sovereign omnipotent Creator. But God has given Satan certain authority to operate in the earth as a result of man’s sinful fall. He operates through the minds and wills of fallen humanity, and he has constructed a complex web of many evil schemes, including occult practices, and even “religions” to deceive and snare people by appearing to offer them supernatural powers and knowledge. The Bible says that deception will increase in “the last days” before Christ’s return (1 Timothy 4:1). But the Bible also says “The Son of God appeared for this purpose: that He might destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8). Those who trust and obey Jesus Christ have protection and victory through Him.

Any degree of occult involvement can produce problems of oppression, depression, despair, hopelessness and many physical problems, sometimes bringing self-destruction, even death. Demonic influence can produce obsession, phobias, bizarre behavior, violence, homicide and sexual perversion. Worse, it can deceive a person into eternal darkness. The occult is a form of idolatry and a sin expressly forbidden by God (Deuteronomy 18:9-12).

Here are just a few of the many occult practices: astrology, “fortune-telling”, witchcraft, Satanism, clairvoyance, séances, spiritism meetings, use of mediums or “channeling”, ouija boards, eastern religions, reincarnation, voodoo, involvement with “psychics”, and the New Age Movement.

If you now or have ever been involved with any cult or occult practice, you can be set free of it and any symptoms it may have brought by doing the following: 1) CONFESS sincere faith and commitment to Christ; 2) CONFESS the cult and occult sins to God, naming and forsaking each one; 3) RENOUNCE Satan, in Jesus’ name, and command him and his demons to depart; and 4) RECEIVE and claim your liberation by faith, without doubting, trusting in the authority and total faithfulness of God and His Word.

Just in Case You Have Never Received Christ

Just in case…

Just in case you have never “received” Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, I urge you to do so right now, at this very moment: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.” (John 1:12). We receive Him by faith: “FOR BY GRACE YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: NOT AS A RESULT OF WORKS, THAT NO ONE SHOULD BOAST” (Ephesians 2:8-9). We receive Him by invitation: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him” (Revelation 3:20).

Here is a suggested prayer to receive Christ: “Dear Lord Jesus. I need you. I believe you are the Son of God and that you died for my sins. I ask you to forgive my sins and come into my heart to be my Lord and Savior. Help me to live for you, and if necessary die for you. By faith, I open the door of my heart and I receive you right now, and I thank you for what you have done and will do. In Jesus’ name. Amen”.

Talk to God (pray) frequently. Read His Word (the Bible). Fellowship with other believers. May God bless and sustain you, and give you courage and peace.

The Revelation of the Antichrist

The Revelation of the Antichrist

The Lord Jesus Christ is coming, first to rapture or catch away His church, those who placed their trust in Him during the 2,000 year church age. He will then come in power at the end of the Great Tribulation, which He described: “For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, no ever shall” (Matthew 24:21).

Guided by the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Paul wrote, concerning “the day of the Lord”:

Let no one in any way deceive you, for it (the day of the Lord) will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things: And you know what restrains him now so that in his time he may be revealed. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. And then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming: that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, so as to be saved. And for this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they might believe what is false, in order that they may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness. But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth. And it was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory or our Lord Jesus Christ. So then brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us (2 Thessalonians 3:15)

As Christ is coming, so is Antichrist during the Tribulation. Many people will be deceived by the Antichrist. Many people will die. But many, whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, will be faithful until the end.

If you are reading this and you find yourself in this situation, just remember the words of the Lord and stand firm. If you have received Christ, you were written about thousands of years ago. God knows exactly who you are, by name. You are chosen. And as recorded in the Scriptures above, we “give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit, and faith in the truth.”

Do Not Take the Mark of the Beast

Do not take the mark of the beast!


“And another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “if anyone worships and beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or upon his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. “And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” (Revelation 14:9-11)

A most critical problem is revealed here. It is not just a matter of receiving a mark for purposes of identification and commerce. Receiving it will require one to “worship the [Antichrist] and his image” (verse 11). How can this be?

Obviously, this tyrant ruler, the Antichrist, will require people to deny the great Creator God and his Son Jesus Christ and declare his own deity before they will be given a “mark,” which they will need to buy food or anything else needed to live. If a person denies God and His merciful blood atonement through Christ, which is the only way one can escape eternal torment, they will cast away and forfeit all chance at salvation. The pressure to do so will be immense. But if you are living on the earth at the time this happens and did not make the rapture or catching away of believers when it occurred, DO NOT TAKE THIS MARK NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, even if it means your physical death!

This will be a time of severe testing for you. If you refuse the mark, you may die a martyr, but you will live with Christ in paradise forever and ever. Taking the mark may buy you only a few days, or at best a few months or years of physical life on this earth. It is not worth it!

As I write this, there is relative peace and tranquility in the world, with some exceptions. But tensions are rising. The New World Order is emerging. National sovereignties are being ignored in favor of the United Nations and NATO. Jerusalem is becoming a source of international conflict, precisely as prophesized by the ancient Hebrew prophet Zachariah (12:3). It is an explosion waiting to happen. Horror weapons of mass destruction have been proliferated to rogue nations and terrorists, and many experts, including the U.S. Senate, predict they will soon be used.

It is believed that the Antichrist will soon arise out of international chaos, and that he will be a charismatic leader who will seem to have solutions to the world’s overwhelming economic, social, and political problems. He will receive a fatal wound, but will recover (Revelation 13:3). He will blaspheme God. Thinking him divine and wonderful, or just to be able to buy and sell, most of the inhabitants of the earth will worship him – except those whose names are written in the BOOK OF LIFE belonging to the Lamb (Jesus Christ).

And it was given to him (The antichrist) to make war with the saints and to overcome them; and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of THE LAMB who has been slain. If anyone has an ear, let him hear (Revelation 13:7-9).

The LAMB is the Lord JESUS CHRIST who was slain as a Lamb and shed His own blood to purchase our redemption, just as prophesied by the ancient Hebrew prophet, Isaiah, several hundred years before His birth (e.g. chapter 53).

Beware:The Mark of the Beast

Beware: The Mark of the Beast!


The purpose of this report is to warn people of the coming “mark,” and especially warn them of the eternal consequences for consenting to this mark on themselves.

“And he (the Antichrist) causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead, and he provides that no one should be able to buy or sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for that number is that of a man, and the number is six hundred and sixty-six.” (Revelation 13:16-18)

These ancient words from Holy Scripture, revealed by God to the Apostle John, describe a condition of world political and economic tyranny during the prophesied Great Tribulation of the last days just before Christ’s return. The world will be under the control of “the beast.”

The beast is the Antichrist, who will be a man, and appear as a man, but who will also be the incarnation of Satan, Satan in human form. He will be a brilliant, charming, and charismatic leader, but also devious, cruel, and totally evil.

The above passage speaks of a “mark” which the Antichrist will try to place on every person as a means of identification and control. It will be used in commerce, and without it no one will be able to buy or sell anything, making it a perfect device to control the masses and demand their allegiance. To live, people must eat and have goods. Therefore, this required mark will be able to totally control people – that is, most people. There will be some who reject the mark, for a most critical reason explained later below.

Until recent years, such a “mark” was a great mystery. No one had any idea what it meant or how it would work. But for centuries the faithful have believed it, simply because it was in God’s Word. But with modern technology, just in the past few years, it is now clear how it could work. In fact, “mark” technology is already available.

The mark could possibly be an implantable biochip, sometimes called a microchip, a rice-size radio frequency chip implanted in the human body just under the skin, such as on the hand, just like the book of Revelation says! They are already available and in use!

Biochips are being used in animals to identify pets and to track herds. It is expected that millions of animals will soon have this chip. Several companies are involved in this. One such company says, “Our goal is to ‘chip’ every pet in the U.S.” Radio frequency emissions from an implanted chip are picked up and transferred to a computer database, which quickly identifies the animal.

This is merely a prelude to a mandatory implantable biochip in every human. At first, the purpose will appear beneficial and actually good, such as for identification and medical history. Some are already implanting biochips in children so they can be tracked in cases of abduction.

The “smart card”, already in use, is a prelude to the biochip. Europe is reportedly in the lead in identification technology. The smart card was invented by a Frenchman. At this writing, about 150 million Europeans already have smart cards. In the U.S., a card called the MARC (interesting name!) is being used with military personnel. The MARC has a bar code, a magnetic strip, embossed data, a digitized photograph, and an integrated circuit (IC) computer chip bonded to it.

The universal health card planned under President Clinton’s defeated effort to socialize the U.S. medical industry would have been a beginning for universal smart card use. Possibly no one could have received healthcare without this card. The process was probably only delayed.

An implanted biochip will be much more efficient than a smart card and will be permanently personal; not subject to loss and theft.

It is not the purpose of this report to go into detail on smart card and biochip technology, uses and trends. Much has been written and is available to the public, such as in bookstores and libraries. On the Internet, just type those words into a search engine and numerous references will be given. The purpose of this report is to only briefly explain their reality, but more importantly, to issue a most serious warning:

How To Receive Christ

How to receive Him
In any gift exchange, there has to be giver and receiver. God has already given us the gift, His Son; now we must receive Him. “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12).
We receive Him by faith. “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast” (Ephesians 2:8,9).
We receive Him by personal invitation, (Christ speaking) “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him” (Revelation 3:20). Do you hear His voice?
The following is a suggested prayer: “Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God and that you died on the cross for my sins to save me from eternal death. I open the door of my life and receive you as my Savior and Lord. I give you my life. Help me to be what you want me to be. Amen.”

The Escape Plan

The Escape Plan
Christ’s death and resurrection have opened the way to heaven and life with the Father forever for all who put their trust in Him and His great sacrifice on our behalf. Christ will soon come and rescue His people from the approaching “Great Tribulation” (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). He will later rule and bring peace on earth- after He judges the world and every person (Matthew 25:31-46).
God’s judgment is indeed coming on a world in rebellion. He cannot deny His nature. His attributes of perfect holiness and justice demand judgment for sin, of which we are all guilty. “For all who have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
The result of sin is death, or separation from God. “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). Wages are something we earn, or deserve.
But “God is love” (1 John 4:8). Is “love” in conflict with “judgment”? Answer: God’s wisdom reconciled the dilemma- the Son of God would take all our judgment upon Himself! “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

To escape God’s judgment, we each must receive His free gifts of forgiveness and love, “But the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). A gift is something we do not earn, or deserve.

8 Compelling Reason Why: Christ Is Coming Very Soon

8 Compelling Reasons why Christ is coming very soon!

The evidence for the soon return of Jesus Christ is overwhelming. It could be any moment. One scholar lists 167 converging clues just in the last few years. The following are eight:
Israel’s rebirth. As Jesus prophesied, the Jews were scattered during the Jewish-Roman war of A.D. 70 (Luke 21:24). Also prophesied to occur before Christ’s return, the nation of Israel was miraculously reborn on May 14, 1948. Israel is called “God’s time clock.”
Plummeting morality. Studies show a shocking breakdown just since mid-century (2 Timothy 3:1-4).
Famines, violence, and wars. Jesus said the signs before his return would come as intensifying birth pangs, seeing increased famines, violence and wars, a clear picture of our planet (Matthew 24:6-8). One of six people on earth suffers from hunger. Violence is epidemic. A study of wars since 500 B.C. shows a recent dramatic increase. More than 100 conflicts have erupted since 1990, about twice the number for previous decades.
Increase in earthquakes. Also prophesied to be as birth pangs (Matthew 24:7), a recent study shows a dramatic increase in earthquakes worldwide, just since the decade of Israel’s rebirth. Between 1920 and 1990, a 70-year span, there were 10 major earthquakes. But in 1990 to the year 2005, a 15-year span, we have had 13 major earthquakes." (Associated Press) The U.S. Geological Survey data shows in 2000, there were 22,256 recorded earthquakes worldwide but steadily increased to 31,199 earthquakes in 2004. (WorldNetDaily)
Explosion of travel and education. Two key conditions described about 2,500 years ago for the Second Coming are that “travel and education shall be vastly increased” (Daniel 12:4, Living Bible). In all of history, the vast increase in travel has come just since mid-century with the explosion of both ground and air transportation; in education, with the advance of science and computers.
Explosion of cults and the occult. Counterfeit spirituality is everywhere with cults and false Christs (Matthew 24:24), psychic phenomena, spiritism, Satan worship, witchcraft, nature worship and the New Age movement (1 Timothy 4:1). What is a cult or the occult? See "What is a cult or the occult" Report on this website.
The New World Order. Increased centralization of world financial and political power is a prelude to the soon-coming world power system in the hands of the “Antichrist,” who will be the incarnation of Satan and who will deceive most of the world (Daniel 7-12, Matthew 24:15, Revelation 13). Beware of the “mark of the beast”. Beware of the Mark of the Beast Report" on this web site
Increase in both apostasy and faith. The Bible predicts in the last days, “A form of godliness, although they have denied its power” (2 Timothy 3:5). Today, many churches deny the eternal truths of Scripture and power of the Holy Spirit, replacing them with ungodly, temporal and “politically correct” values. But also, a prophesied outpouring of God’s Spirit is causing hundreds of millions worldwide to come to true faith in Christ in record numbers, virtually unnoticed by the media.

How To Be Prepared for Christs Return

If you died today, do you know if you would go to heaven? If you want to be sure that you will, sincerely pray this prayer:"Dear Father God, I know that I am a sinner and that my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry and I want to turn away from my sins. Please forgive me. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins, was resurrected from the dead and is alive and hears my prayers. I invite Jesus into my life to be my Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Please help me to do your will and live my life to please you. Help me to be what you want me to be. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."
