November 12, 2023: Bible Prophecy Update -- The Prophecy Paramedic And The Prophecy Police

Then you back to the teaching of 1 John and 2 John to remember how love is played out in those two commandments. Then, if you look backwards into the other epistles, and gospels, you see more ways to apply love to our Father in heaven, such as no idols. The old testament is strewn with storyafter story of examples as to how to love God, abd His love for us.
It is vital to put God first and foremost in all parts of our life. Not that we “have to” (such as people who think it relates to salvation), but the true love comes from the “want to”, the clamoring to get His attention as a child seeks the attention of thier father, to serve Him and become part of his daily activities. A child watches thier father to learn how to mimic them, because they respect them, and love them. The two are synonymous in my opinion. Children ask most of the time, in healthy families, to know and do what the father is doing. They ask questions and correct thier behavior. The “good” father corrects, disciplines, and encourages. The kid’s desire is to please him as they do it, because of that love and respect. It is a familial situation. I believe that is how it is for us.

Then the love of our neighbor (similar to relationships between siblings) requires that humility of mind and keeping that in check, as we interact with them in wisdom, truth, meekness, and patience. God made it clear, there is no one above another, but the name and soverignty of Jesus Christ, His Son. There is no partiality between us.

 We  need to keep those aspects  in  check "because" of the love we have for Abba and Yeshua. We reflect God's behavior because of His exhortations (correction, rebuke, and encouragement), as we dig in and mimic our Savior Jesus Christ, as He told us to. 
  The disciples are our additional benchmark to support that growth, as each human being is unique and has certain personality traits that are similar to one or more of the 12, including Paul. 
   Jesus is known as our exemplar model. The perfect example. The disciples are our guardrail, so to speak. What "to do" and " not to do" as we walk, go through trials, and learn more and more about our perfect Father Yahweh, and our wonderful Savior and King, Jesus our Lord. 

What a wonderful journey we get to experience, once we learn our planned future, God has for us…our new name, our new abode, our new bodies, and our new roles.
The most fascinating thing for me is getting to see Abba and Yeshua, get hugs as much as I want, and truly love Him with no doubt that He is being shown love in my actions, thoughts, and words. This flesh is a prison, keeping me from being completely free from sin and the terrible effects of this present world…i.e. Satan and his cronies.

Praise be to God for His faithfulness, love, long suffereing, mercy, grace, kindness, gentleness, gosh…so much more to be said. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
Bless the Lord oh my soul! To love Him being whole. To walk with Him hand in hand. To serve Him with all that I am. I worship Him night and day. He is my life and breath, and one day…I will get to hug Him and lean in…listening to Him fully, with complete love and confidence, knowing I heard Him properly. Bless the Lord, oh my soul, because one day He will be face to face with me, and we will be together forever, to be what we were made to be. His children, and He our God and Father. He our Best Friend and Husband. Magnify and glorify His name oh my breath, my mind, my soul. He is ours and our One True Holy God, worthy to be praised, glorified, and honored! Amen Amen and Amen. :heart::heart::heart::heart:

Thank you for choosing these verses to post. They were just the words I so needed to hear tonight. Don’t know about you, but “if you’re anything like me, and I suspect that you are” (to quote our faithful pastor) you’re worn out and wrung dry from crying, too. But . . . There is a balm in Giliad

Hmm…well…It is a different world than during my working years, but adaptions can be made.

I worked many years in a factory setting as a Die Maker. One area of my job was to troubleshoot a production line. The line that I troubleshot for the last six years had a repurposed office table and chair just for the Die Maker. I was permitted to read when not servicing the line. Book of choice? The Bible. People would walk by from different types of jobs. I would see them in my peripheral swinging a little closer, curious as to what I was reading. I decided to leave my Bible open to where I was reading on the table as I worked on the line. So many people stopped at my table and read a couple minutes. Some gave me the :+1: . Some would stop the next time I wasn’t busy, and we would have a respectful discussion about God. Many kept coming back. I took God’s packet of seeds and sowed.

Any adaption ideas for where you work?

Blessings

Hey Ken,

SHORT ANSWER:

I don’t get out much, but when I speak to a stranger in person or on the phone, I end the business part of the conversation by calling them by name (if I’ve been told) and asking if I can ask them a personal question. Then I just come out and ask if they have trusted Jesus as their Savior.

The ABCs are really helpful— easy for people to mentally note. Listening to others present the gospel has been very helpful. Staying immersed in the Word and praying is essential. And as with everything else we do, practice is key!

I have emailed people notes with the gospel, prayers and an offer to pray on several occasions. Had excellent results this way!

After listening to others give the gospel (daily) and doing it myself, I can present the needed info in an organized and timely manner, and I depend upon God’s Spirit to give me the right words for each person. I also carry tracts to give as a little followup or with a tip if I’m at a restaurant. I also stuff them in diaper boxes if I ever go to the grocery store. Online, I give a few sites/teachers/preachers and always encourage people to read the Bible.

ABOUT RESULTS:

Last year I sent ABC tracts (with an explanation) in Christmas cards to encourage others and to get them started sharing. I was a little surprised by how many people let me know they were Christian… as if hearing the gospel was an insult. And no one ever said they shared ABCs. Very sad. Will try again this year if we’re still here and mail is still an option.

As for the direct question when speaking with someone—-
Most say yes. Some are confused. A few have been angry and a few have said they are not permitted to answer that question.

When people respond to my initial question and I believe they have been born again, I always respond the same way, “That’s my favorite answer! Time is short; we’ve got to tell people about Jesus while we still gave time.” I pray my question encourages them to follow suit.

Sometimes people answer by stating their religion or that they don’t go to church. I always respond that salvation is not about a religion or attending a church; it’s about a relationship with Jesus. And for the people who state they don’t believe or the few who have been angry, I just smile and tell them I will pray for them. And I do. My prayer list for salvation is at least half filled with the names of people I have spoken to only once. On occasion, I have left contact info with people when I felt led to do so.

Since there was only one response so far… I figured I’d share my experience and a couple tips. Thanks for asking Ken, this is a skill we all need to have down pat.

Shalom,
gr

This was a great sermon, and definitely reiterates why we need to bring Jesus to people. I work with a lot of young kids at a resort nearby on a part time basis as I homeschool my kids. So they know why I left the public schools and it has given me great opportunities, although I am limited but I do need to bookmark on my Bible app so I can share why I do what I do. Some of them, I can see it makes them think back to what someone in their family has said and some have never heard things like what I have said. Although, I don’t do too much, because trainings have told us to not talk about religion. I only speak about it when it comes up. They know where I stand though.

Excellent video @lavender with an interesting approach to witnessing.
But seeing these Jews react to the world at prayer for them brings it all home.
We see so much garbage in the news each day.
But we hear so little from the people of Israel.

Nice to see you return. The forum is different now from this time last year. Enjoy the fellowship.

You will never know how important it is to be a teacher until we are raptured because time is so short.
I think all of us can remember our teachers from school and how instrumental they were in our lives.
Be Blessed!

Lots of good examples on how to witness so far.
This might shock your conscience but we are not all the same.
The key always is to allow the Holy Spirit to work through you.
And it does not hurt to memorize the Word.
More on this later on.
What are some more examples on how to witness?

Just had Psalm 40 pop up…how cool!

‭Psalms‬ ‭40:1‭-‬17‬ ‭NKJV‬
[1] I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. [2] He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps. [3] He has put a new song in my mouth— Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the Lord. [4] Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust, And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. [5] Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works Which You have done; And Your thoughts toward us Cannot be recounted to You in order; If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered. [6] Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; My ears You have opened. Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require. [7] Then I said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me. [8] I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart.” [9] I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness In the great assembly; Indeed, I do not restrain my lips, O Lord, You Yourself know. [10] I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth From the great assembly. [11] Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord; Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me. [12] For innumerable evils have surrounded me; My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; They are more than the hairs of my head; Therefore my heart fails me. [13] Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me! [14] Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion Who seek to destroy my life; Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor Who wish me evil. [15] Let them be confounded because of their shame, Who say to me, “Aha, aha!” [16] Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; Let such as love Your salvation say continually, “The Lord be magnified!” [17] But I am poor and needy; Yet the Lord thinks upon me. You are my help and my deliverer; Do not delay, O my God.

His thoughts and marvelous awesomeness cannot be put to words, in order to express the perfect wonderfulness of our Mighty GodJesus and Almighty Daddy God!!!:smiling_face_with_three_hearts::heart_eyes::star_struck::yum:

Random thoughts on what I see from where I am. Maybe that could be said as rambling wondering. :thinking:

Just a scenario that plays in my mind.
It seems to me we are seeing something that has played over and over throughout history with all countries and is now playing out again but this time it will finally be finished.

The war in Israel is unique because it is The Israel God’s Israel. The scenario has been played out over the ages by corrupt men who have sold their souls for earthly treasure and power. Reminder Satan plays both sides for the middle ground he calls his.

The circle is about to be complete as we are now centered on Jerusalem and amazingly the Temple of course. It appears we are back to the days just before Jesus started his ministry a repeat with a much better ending.

How appropriate in the time just before the AC shows himself too. Jewish leaders and Roman leaders had a backdoor deal going and as long as Jewish leaders went along for the most part they stayed in power.

The people involved did not matter too much as long as they all went along.

Now we have the USA leaders (young lions) and most of the EU leaders Old Roman Empire all standing with Israel as Israel does what she believes she must do for these leaders in Israel to stay in power and help the West defeat BRICS.

It does throw me off a bit because I saw the AC coming from Germany but Germany comes with the Gog Magog tribes, so we shall see hopefully not while we are here.

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. Zechariah 12:2

Elohim made Israel the crossroads of the world now it’s also going to be the Key to the energy crossroads of the world. And the spiritual center of the world will follow but not as they plan.

The world hates Israel so do these leaders but they have no problem using and blackmailing them to get what they want, the Middle East and all its treasures. They want to beat Gog and Co. to the treasure and they are all on both sides using the terrorists.

I stand with Israel not the leaders who will end up selling out Israel for unlimited power they believe.

This has been played out by selling out men for gain but this time it’s going to be different. But a God moment is coming ASAP!

John 11:50
Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

The powers that be are setting up the scourge to come and are putting Israel in a place where they have only two choices and they take the wrong choice and sign a covenant.

Gog may hold back and let the terrorists and surrounding countries take the hit 1st for a false peace to arise. Satan has all of their ears and Satan has a script even if he thinks he wrote it he has not.

Time will tell but so far I still see the US as part of Rome. I now have just begun to see maybe this alliance, maybe my thoughts will change but right now I see crazy stuff and trust none of them and pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and all the people involved because of deception.

Like I said just random thinking not particularly defendable but watching and praying.

It does bring it all home. I found myself tearing up myself.
I have watched a few other So Be It YouTube vids and there is certainly much to gain. It takes boldness to come up to strangers on the street and create dialogue. I love watching the reactions when these strangers allow Jeff to pray for them. Priceless. :blush:

One of my neighbors asked me what my religion is. (she shared to me hers was catholic).

I gladly told her my religion is: “Jesus died for my sins.”
I had to leave it at that, as there was no more interest in taking the conversation further.

Another neighbor, was talking about sickness and death, and I told her that as much as I don’t like the aspect of death - it is not a nice thing after all! - I am at peace because I believe in Jesus, that He died for our sins so we can have eternal life.

I pray for the unsaved, that God removes anything that’s stopping them to put their trust in Jesus’ redemptive work for mankind, and that their hearts may be open to receive His grace.

Blessings!
