Andrew Tiner said, if you're too cowardly to tell people about Jesus, how can you expect for Jesus to save you?
Jesus doesn't want you to tell others about Him if you get ridiculed for it for He says don't throw your pearls before the swine lest they trample you, as has happened already. No wonder you don't want to do that again.
So regardless of what this preacher says it has to do with what Jesus does and not what you must do. All you need to do is trust Him and put your faith in Him and let Him fill you with His love as He takes away your sin. See Jesus grows in us as love for God grows so does He, for they are One in body and Soul. Love comes from God. So love God and love people. Pray for them if they don't want to believe let it be. Just love them and do good unto them as they like it so they be ashamed of their bad conduct. Let Jesus grow into you by loving God and neighbour not by fearing what you should do.
To love is what we want to do when Christ is King of our hearts. He comes down from Heaven and dwells in our hearts Spiritually, a holy Spirit, teaching our unholy spirit the right way to go.
So please don't panic about the Rapture - i don't believe in such a theory for one moment - believers will not be taken before the tribulation - rather persecuted for their faith and love for God and neighbour. So win peoples hearts by being loving, gentle, honest and open and kind. Be yourself in good and in bad and don't worry for Christ has you covered with His blood, how free can you be?
And to those who want to hear! Tell them about Jesus, your wonderful Lord who saved you from your sins, and who set you free to fight them successfully instead of in shame, fear and guilt through His forgiving love. And how good it is to have faith in His gracious love for then He comes and gives us aid and grows in us in real life.
Be not afraid but be confidant in Christ. Face the future with eager anticipation for Christ shall be revealed to your heart again and again, maybe soon even.
For that is how our meetings take place, when we see Him, in all His glory, ruling from Heaven over our lives. Then fear melts in the heat of its own shame and we jump up and down from joy for deliverance.
Then Revelation 19 comes true and all our bad life is cut down by the sword that comes out of His mouth, and so all our inner enemies perish as His loving truth comes and dwells inside of us.
Be of goods courage and look for Jesus' Coming on the inside much more so than on the outside. For first we get the great rebellion and then we get the great tribulation and then He will come down and cut the lawless ones out of us forever and set us free in His Kingdom. Hallelujah.
The World still has some time to go before it is ready to hear the truth. At the moment people are loving the lies too much to even consider the truth their Friend, we have a long way to go before this world is ready to receive their Lord.
The good thing is you can already meet up with Him today. Spiritually He is truer than true and our very best Friend and Saviour, for He comes down from Heaven and makes His dwelling place inside of us. John 14. That way He is REALLY close and fear and all wrong will begin to melt in the heat of His love. An awesome process where love determines what is allowed and what is not allowed.
i wrote a poem about Jesus coming to my rescue i like to share it with you.
Zion Descending
At first I heard Dad say,
"Son let us make tracks,
its near getting dark now,
the chosen are all asleep,
now would be best,
as darkness reigns its peak,
for arrogance has him blinded,
to what is really going on."
I saw the sunlight darkened,
the moon turn to blood,
and the stars falling from Heaven.
I felt everything shaking in its boots.
I heard about wars and rumours of wars.
I experienced famine and drought,
grand scale living in wantonness,
rulers making a living out of sin,
Satan's forces installed everywhere,
loveless forces ruling untruthfully.
I heard my inner world crying out in her dying pain,
"What is going on?
The Father is leaving us without the Son,
this can only evil mean."
I heard the angels blow the trumpets!
"Woe to the inhabitants of this soul!"
I heard the agonising cries,
coming from underneath the altar,
the dead in God's love, longingly,
awaiting newness of life!
"Yes, oh Lord, pour out their blood as they did ours!"
I heard the thunders rolling throughout my being,
"Let evil brood fear The Truth of God almighty!
Let judgement begin in The House of God!"
I knew judgement had already began,
when I beheld those massive hails stones,
tumbling down on the heads of the wicked.
I watched my enemies flee in terror!
Scorpion stings burning wrong,
horse hooves kicking up dirt,
truthfulness uncovering shame,
honesty baring nakedness,
the dung of the earth warring,
lies sores causing agony,
pestilence threatening,
as grasshoppers devoured,
my enemies food and good life!
It was fascinating to see,
how weak those are...,
.....so strong in lies!
Yes, honest!
Loving truth is like that!
The freedom to be,
true to yourself,
both in good and bad,
in His love to be.
Oh the release of faith!
Heart rendering awe!
Shouts of glorious praise!
Jumping joy - pure ecstasy!
Glorying in God almighty,
my life's tormentors died,
perishing one after the other.
Seeing Jesus on His white horse,
a blazing sword coming out of His mouth,
His all conquering loving truth
my inner world of being to reap.
Casting dead what is so good to have gone,
raising alive that which I had lost,
bringing new life at each dawn,
His kingdom ruling my world of being,
His presence bringing rest and peace.
Time and again He comes past like this,
(terrorising the wicked agonising their mates demise,)
as all His wheels turn into place.
The Word alive in heavenly love.
Costly gifts descending from above.
beholding the temple of the most high,
the truth of His love Himself my Zion.
