It is time to STAND!

[Crujir]

My friends, we are so close to the end it is not even anywhere near something that can be considered funny. The Mark of the beast is coming, and its going to hit like a Mack Truck.

I work with a Trucking ministry, Steering Wheel Ministries www.steeringwheel.org and we see a lot of darkness, and the enemy sure likes to show up at our services. A LOT. These people come in bringing a spirit of dissension, a spirit of disruption, a spirit of hateful pride, and ooh Lord does the list go on!

We have found ourselves having to be bolder and BOLDER as time goes on, and it gets harder and harder, but God is good, God is FAITHFUL, and if we are faithful as well, our Good God will reward our faithfulness in SO MANY WAYS it is amazing.

We are in a world of darkness, a world of war, a world that finds itself hating all of us who are anointed of God because they hate God for themselves. We are being persecuted daily, and many have died for proclaiming Jesus as Lord. But FAR TOO MANY of us cannot proclaim Jesus as Lord in front of others for the simple fear of someone calling us stupid! HOW MUCH EASIER WILL IT BE TO CONFORM TO THE WORLD WHEN YOU HAVE A GUN TO YOUR HEAD? Let us not conform, but stand as Warriors in Christ.

Are you prepared to die? And if you are, are you prepared to die for the right reasons? If you die doing right, YOU ARE NOT WRONG; you are blessed in God! He said that those of us who are persecuted for His name's sake are BLESSED, and our treasure is in Heaven. Praise God!

In this world we live in, far too many of us walk by people on the street, and feel the "quickening in our spirit" to say or do something, but we do not! I myself am very guilty of this. I want you all to know I am condemning NO ONE, I have only come to realize that I was wrong. Its time to start doing right, and start doing it now. BE BOLD my brothers and sisters. When we see threads on this forum such as these:

How many of us are NOT obedient to God, and avoid standing up for what is right? Even if you think you cannot affect it, BE OBEDIENT, and God will bless you. I started feeling hopeless a time or two, but then God intervened and brought about confirmation of His word! Nothing is greater than GOD, and no words are mightier than His.

I will die for my God, and painfully so if He requires. I pray He will have mercy enough on me for a quick death, for the loss of pain and being able to meet Him in the sky that much sooner, praise God.

Are you going to stand?

"Stand up and serve God, for tomorrow, we die."

I don't agree that we are in the end, or near it. Even still, our mission should be the same whether its the end, or not. We are to fulfil the Great Commission and make disciples in all the nations.

I will stand! I agree that we can see the path to end times very clearly now...when say even just 50 years ago people would laugh like it was SO far away. There are a lot of things that still need to happen, but it's hard to read the Word and not see that is it "near".

Hasn't every generation thought they were near the end?

The word of God says that when you say that, the time is near.

Hmm... I hear a lot of people saying that.

Sure made me think.

i think we are soo near the end...whether we are near the end of not, dont you think we should still honor God and live our lives accordingly, God wants us to live every day as if its our last, and if the end is 12 hours from now, or 1200 years from now, we need to live it like its our last, striving to be wholly His...

A minister at a church I used to go to said a few time we were in the end times of the end times. Now I hear people saying we are in the end times of the end times of the end times. I agree with others. We should strive each day for the prize. We should strive each day to be more like Jesus and to fulfill his commandments. The bible says that every people will hear the word of God before the end. So if you want to speed things up so to speak get out there and witness.

Two very interesting discussions. Not sure what the point of you mentioning them is though??? Care to elaborate?
