Resurrection Ministry
The End is Near!!!
Jesus was born of a Virgin woman, named Mary, conceived by the Holy Ghost.
Jesus came and lived a life of a flesh man, preached that through him we received our salvation.
Jesus was tortured and crucified on the cross (by his stripes we are HEALED!)
Jesus was buried and on the third day rose from the dead and descended back to God the father and is on his right hand side of God interceding for the Christians.
Jesus sent back from God the Holy Ghost for our comfort with the evidence of speaking in tongues.
Jesus turned his power over to us to carry on his work of Salvation.
Jesus is the Son of God the Father and God the Holy Ghost.
Jesus will return to earth to set up his Kingdom on earth for a thousand years after the first resurrection.
Called to preach the end time of the end time message. Accepted JesusMarch 5, 1978. Worked in Evangelism ministry about 2 years studying the beliefs and doctrines of all the churches we went to.
We ministered almost every night for 2 years.
There are many beliefs and different false doctrines out there, some are backed up by the bible and a lot of them are not. (Matt. 24 verse 5 KJV)
At about the end of 2 years I fell to one of the church doctrines that we were ministering to. Even though I knew about the false doctrine, and knew that it was wrong, I felt that I would not get caught up in it. Jesus will find out how much we love him.
We finally got back to God on July 26, 1981 since that time God has dealt with me off and on concerning the end of the end time and what is going to happen to the Christians, and the lost.
I know there are many different beliefs out there about this event which is very important concerning the Christians and the lost. Some believe this and some believe that and some don't even care. (Matt. 24 verse 4 KJV)
God has not lead me at this time to address what I believe about this important event, but to stir up the Christians to seek out from the scripture what God is saying about this. (John 11 verse 25-26 KJV)
The bible (KJV=King James Version) says that the word of God is so plain that a wayfaring man though he be a fool would not err therein.
Using Chapter 20, chapter 7 verses 1-17, and ch 13 verses 1-18 of Revelations as a base study of the word we go to other scriptures in the bible. (Matt. 24 verses 1-51 KJV)
The very first thing that Jesus said in this chapter, take heed that no man deceive you. The power of God is knowledge of his word. Study to show ourselves approved.
Mark 13 verses 1-37 KJV- The very first thing he says in this chapter is take heed lest any man deceive you. Luke 17 verse 20-37
(Rev. 13 verse 18 KJV) We are under the watchful eye of God. If I don't know what I am talking about on this matter, then I am in trouble. The bible says that my sheep know my voice and a stranger they will not follow. So if I have been following Satan for about 25 years, I don't know God's voice.
We are all in trouble either with God or with Satan. I had rather be in trouble with Satan. The bible says that Satan is our adversary that wants all people to go to hell with him. He uses religion more than any thing to deceive people. We don't need religion we need Jesus.
My record should speak for itself, but there are people who could claim the same record but they are as lost as they ever were. So that is why it is best to seek the Lord for yourself. The bible says that there is a way that seemeth right. Going to church will not get you to heaven, although it is a requirement that God expects us to do. Keeping Jesus in our hearts is what keeps us going with the end result of making it to heaven.
God deals with the past and the future but he wants us to stay in the present.
After saying all this, we must keep in mind that today is the day of salvation. Now is the accepted time. We must not get our minds too much focused on the future. God wants us to have knowledge of the future so that we will know what is expected of us. Knowing that the future will lead us to heaven if we keep Jesus first and not the future.
So if you are lost and reading this message, by faith tell Jesus you accept his plan of salvation and you're going to serve him as best you can for the rest of your life.
Pastors, teachers, evangelists, the people should know the truth. But they should also know the untruth, so if this is not of God, they should know this also. Preaching the Goodness of God is what we should do, but we should also preach the evil of Satan.
True Christians, don't let this trouble you for God will take care of his people.
Sinner, ask God to forgive you of your sins, and to help you do a work for God.
Matt. 23 verse 29
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous.
THIS WEBPAGE CAN BE READ ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!
Matt 24:14 (KJV) And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Have you studied what has been said in this web page? The bible says to study to show yourself approved. Some preachers and teachers will tell you to read your bible, and that is good because reading leads to study, but if you just read this webpage and not study, it will do you no good. You HAVE to study pray and fast and let God show you what the webpage is telling you. The bible says not to judge, lest you be judged. If you read this web page and make a judgment without checking with God to make sure as to the message is true or not, then you are judging. Always check with God. Paul said he came to stir you up that you study for yourselves. There are preachers and teachers that will tell you not to be concerned about what is going to happen, and to just be ready but if we don't know what is to be expected, how can we be ready? The bible says there is going to be a great falling away because of a lack of knowledge.
Are we religious?
August 26, 2006
Thank God and the people, (read scripture), 1st Thes. Vs 16 & 17, Rev. 20 vs. 4 & 5
Religion: belief in and worship of God or Gods, a specific system of belief, worship often involving a code of ethics; An organized system of beliefs, rights, and celebration centered on a supernatural being.
A preacher brother back home (He is gone on to be with the Lord now) said the church he was going to required the male members to wear garters on their socks. So they wouldn’t show any flesh above their ankles. He said his feet would get numb and go to sleep on him from wearing those garters.
He had a little boy that was mongoloid and he would run thru the house out of control, it was hard for them to handle him. In his visitations to people’s houses he noticed while being at the people house that had televisions, the little boy would calm down and watch TVs. the whole time they were there. So he bought him a television, which helped the boy, stay calmed down but the church found out about it and told him he could no longer be a member of the church because they did not believe in televisions. It’s not a sin to have a TV. But we can make it a sin. We can make a sin out of anything. It was no sin for the Israelites to have the gold that they had but when they made the golden calf and worshipped it, then the gold became a sin.
There is one religious group that says God will not forgive a person that has been married before unless he or she leaves that person and returns to the first wife or husband or live the rest of their life alone. There is nothing wrong with reconciling our past transgressions, where possible. When you’ve been married before you were saved and have kids with your present spouse, I don’t believe God wants us to leave that spouse and go back to the former spouse. The bible says that we are better off to live alone anyway, if we can live without sin. God wants us to live with the first relationship until death do us part, but we make mistakes and God will forgive us anything except blaspheming the Holy Ghost.
Paul said “if it offends my brother to eat meat, I will not eat any more meat”. There is a religious group that doesn’t believe in eating meat. I knew this guy that didn’t eat meat, he said he only ate vegetables, he didn’t look too good, he was skinny and pale, it may not have been from not eating meat, but he looked like he needed to eat meat.
A religious group back home owns the hospital, and they won’t serve meat to the patients in the hospital, they serve imitation meat. My daddy being sick went to stay in that hospital, he got so angry about the food that he threw his tray at them. Some religious groups will try to force their beliefs on you; the bible says that they will put you back in bondage.
Right after I got saved, I watched PTL quite often. But I did not pay any attention to Tammy Baker’s makeup. Until one day she made a statement that someone had wrote to her about her makeup and she said she didn’t care what they said about he makeup, she was going to wear it. She didn’t care who did or didn’t like it. When she made this statement, her makeup became sin. It wasn’t the makeup, but her attitude that she had. I believe a soul is worth a lot more than makeup.
A person came to me one time, and told me someone in the church had offended them, and asked what to do about it. I told them to go apologize to that person and they got angry and told me that they did not do anything wrong. What difference does it make? We should be trying to save a soul from hell.
My beard is not sin, it is no sin for me to have a beard, but there is a brother that every time he sees me, he asks when am I going to shave it. At first I thought he was joking, but if he asks one more time I will shave it off.
There is a church that has eating tables in the sanctuary, they sit and eat and drink while the preacher preaches in short pants. Some believe this and some believe that and some don’t care.
Satan uses religion more than anything to deceive people.
Jesus said we have not because we ask not. I think most of these religions are asking for stones.
There are religious groups that believe in handling rattlesnakes. The bible says not to tempt God. But there are some religions that may as well get them a bag of snakes because that is what they are doing, tempting God. At least they might save the women.
No matter what religious organization we get into if we really love the Lord, we will know the truth and find our way to a church that really loves the Lord. The bible says to come out from among them.
Back to the scripture……. 1 Thessalonians Ch. 4 vs. 16 & 17...
vs. 16: For the Lord himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout; with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
Vs. 17: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Revelation ch. 20 vs. 4 & 5
vs. 4: and I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them; and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
vs. 5: but the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
I have been told a lot of different beliefs about these 2 scriptures. To name a few, I have been told they are one in the same, I have been told it is a mistake in the bible; I have been told that one scripture is for Christians, the other for sinners. I have been told not to be concerned about it, just be ready. How can we be ready if we don’t know what is about to take place?
Let me stop and say this: God deals with the past, present and future. We can’t live in the past or the future but I think God wants us to know what the future holds. Heaven—is in the future for us.
Let me go back and read these scriptures again, I did not write these scriptures. We see here that we have 2 resurrections. One of them has a number on it, the other one doesn’t.
I’ve been told they are one and the same. Well that could not be, because one says the dead in Christ will rise first, and the other one says the dead will not rise. I’ve been told one is for Christians, one is for sinners. I don’t think a sinner will let his head be cut off for Jesus at a time like this. I am going to say that the resurrection is the one that has a number and number two is the one that doesn’t have a number. There is a belief that number two will take place before number one. Sounds like the cart before the horse, as the old saying goes. Is this a secret? No, this is no secret. Jesus was crucified on a cross on top of a hill, not in a corner, out in the open, in front of thousands of people, some gambling for his clothes, some wagging their heads, saying “he saved others, why can’t he save himself”? One thing is for sure, these 2 events will take place. The bible says to work while it is day, night cometh when no man can work.
We may not agree on all things, but there are some things that we most all agree on.
If you are here and lost, now is a good time to get things right, because time is soon running out. Preachers, teachers, evangelists and Christians, preach the truth.
Have YOU studied this webpage?
Back in the early or mid 1800's, a man by the name of William Smith, who was an army captain, became a Baptist minister after his discharge from the army. He preached that 1 Thessalonians Chapter 4 verse 16 & 17 was going to take place before Revelations Chapter 20 verse 4 & 5. He called the event the "Rapture". He said that God told him the day and hour the rapture was going to take place. He and his followers gathered together praising God and waiting for this event to take place. The day and hour that he said God had told him had come and gone and the event did not take place. They said this was the most disappointing day that ever was. Smith went on to preach and predict a day and hour every year for the rest of his life that the Rapture was going to take place.
He died in disappointment.
To this day, the belief of the rapture is still preached; they just don't predict the day or hour. The bible say that not any man, not even the angels in heaven knows the day or hour the Lord will come back to earth. He did give the Christians signs, to know that his coming is soon and very soon.
Who are we going to believe? ---God, or man?
We are a nation that is turning into a nation of false teachers, idol worship, false Gods and foreign Gods, non-believers, scribes, Pharisees and hypocrites.
I Timothy ch 3 v 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived.
This nation has turned into
1. Gambling in nearly every state in the name of education lottery.
2. taken the bible out of schools
3. taken prayer out of schools
4. taken the 10 commandments out of the government buildings and schools.
5. legalized the killing of unborn babies.
6. now in some states has permitted same sex marriage.
If this nation wants the devil to rule, then God will turn the devil over to them. The devil is not nice at all. God will not force himself on a nation or a person. We have a choice and I am afraid this nation is choosing the devil and this is a war that this nation will not win.
The bible, KJV says the nation that is blessed of God and then turns away from him will be turned into hell.
The end is very near. We are living in the days of Noel. We still have a choice to get on board the ship. So seek ye the Lord while he may be found. The christian will be in God’s protection when this world is on fire.
The people of this nation that is not under the protection of Jesus will be in a world of trouble.
This nation will soon fall. Rev. 18 v 4-20 KJV (read this) and I heard another voice from heaven, saying, come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
The Roman Empire was not a sudden fall. Its fall was gradual.
The fall of Babylon
1. it could not control it’s borders
2. defense got weaker (army’s spread out)
3. first welfare state
4. taxes kept going up
5. personal incomes went down
6. welfare state finally bankrupted the Roman Empire
7. trade deficit too great
8. totally dependant on Egyptians for grain (the US is totally dependant on foreign oil).

We can’t use God’s word to make it become a lie.
1 Thessalonians ch 4 vs 13-18
13 but I would not have you to be ignorant brethren concerning them which are asleep that ye sorrow not even as other which have no hope
14 for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so then also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him
15 for this we say unto you by the word of the Lord that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 for the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first
17 then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we even be with the Lord.
18 wherefore comfort one another with these words.
God did not put these scriptures in the bible for someone to start a doctrine. He put them in the bible to (comfort one another with these words). This is an even that will take place. (So shall we ever be with the Lord) sounds like he is talking about the end of the earth (II Peter ch 3 vs 10)
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. The earth also and the workers that are therein shall be burned up.
When I got saved in 1978 the rapture was being preached real hard. Being young in the Lord I asked where this was in the bible. I found out that the word rapture was not in the bible. That put up a red flag for me. I searched for the man that started the doctrine of the rapture.
Back in early or mid 1800’s a man by the name of William Smith was an army captain. After discharge he became a Baptist minister he preached that I Thessalonians ch 4 vs 16 and 17 would take place before Revelations 20 vs 24. He called this event the rapture. He said that God told him the day and hour the rapture would take place. He and his followers gathered together praising God waiting for this event to happen. The day and hour came and went and nothing happened. They said that this was the most disappointing day that ever was.
Smith went on to predict a day and hour every year for the rest of his life and died in disappointment. To this day the rapture is still preached. The way I look at this man was a false prophet.
We can’t use the word of God to make a lie. We will have to give accounting for this.
Mark ch 12 vs 18: then come unto him the Sadducees which say there is no resurrection.
One thing that I see when I hear the preaching of the rapture is that the wrath of God is mixed up with the wrath of Satan. The 3 ½ years that Satan is going to rule the earth (tribulation) the Christians will be there. They will have to face the marking of the beast. They will have to accept or refuse this mark. Now the wrath of God will make the wrath of Satan look like a picnic in comparison. No Christian will be in the wrath of God. If anyone thinks that they will escape the wrath of Satan then they need to talk to Paul and tall God to apologize to Steven for he was stoned to death. God told Paul that his grace was sufficient.
Revelations ch 20 vs 4 & 5
4 and I saw thrones and they sat upon them and judgment was given unto them and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of God and which had not worshipped the beast. Neither his image neither had received his mark upon their foreheads or in their hands and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 but the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power but they shall be priest of God and of Christ and shall reign with him a thousand years.
These scriptures tell me the time and who will be in the first resurrection.
We all know the water is the main source of life. We can live a lot longer without food so everybody should find them a water hole both spiritual and physical.
Jesus is the water supply of the soul.
Update 7/31/2011
We can’t use God’s word to make it a lie.
Thank God and the people.
Let me explain to you about what I am about to say to you. Don’t quit on god or leave the church because of my preaching. Hopefully you won’t run me out on a rail or tar and feather me. Something that was practiced in the past mostly politicians were the ones that was under this threat.
Paul said “you like me to start with, but when I told you the truth you didn’t like me anymore.”
Some of you may agree with me, some of you may disagree with me; we don’t agree on all things that a true preacher says, but as long as it’s not detrimental to our salvation we should not disregard him.
Maybe you heard this before; there was a man who went to a religious store looking for a god he could worship. The store keeper took him around to the different gods he had and showed them to him. He showed him one and he said not that one he just sits on the table and does nothing. He showed him another one and he said, not that one he died and doesn’t help anyone. Then he showed him another one and the man said ‘yes that’s the one I had been looking for. How much is that one?’ The store keeper said ‘well the frame is $40 and the mirror is $10.’
This is our number one enemy, saved or lost.
Our pride can cause the lost not to come to Jesus and the Christians to leave Jesus. God says he hates a proud look, meaning if it keeps us away from god or causes us to leave him, then we have too much pride.
Jesus said if you are ashamed of me I will be ashamed of you.
Don’t get me wrong, we will all, from time to time, look in the mirror but we had better not look too long, as David did. We are our own worst enemy.
There were some preachers that came to this church. Maybe you know who I am talking about and that’s good because the bible says that we are to know them that work among us. Stay away from them. God says that we are not to wish them god speed.
When one of them left 15 souls left the church with them. I counted them. The other one I didn’t count but some left when he stirred up trouble. Not counting the preacher that left his whole church.
Now they are out there still claiming the call to preach going to a better church, or so they think.
I’m not saying not to pray for them. Backsliding and becoming a hypocrite are two very different things. Those preachers that left did so as their own choice.
They were not told to leave. The deacons did not vote them out as some of them claim. They would have been a lot better off if they had kept their mouths shut and went to a bar and got drunk.
The bible says that god is married to the backslider. God has very harsh words against the hypocrite. Jesus had issues with them the whole time he was on this earth.
Proverbs 8-13 says:
So are the paths of all that forget god; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish.
1 Thessalonians chapter 4 vs. 13-18:
13: but I would not have you to be ignorant brethren concerning them which are asleep that ye sorrow not even as others which have no hope.
14: for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so then also which sleep in Jesus will god bring with him.
15: for this we say unto you by the word of the lord that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16: for the lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of god and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
17: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the lord in the air and so shall we even be with the lord.
18: wherefore comfort one another with these words.
God did not put these scriptures in the bible for someone to start a church doctrine. He put them in the bible to comfort one another with these words. This is an even that will take place. So shall we ever be with the lord. Sounds like he is talking about the end of the earth.
II Peter chapter 3 vs. 10
But the day of the lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. The earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
This earth will be destroyed. Some of the rapture believers say that this earth is going to be heaven.
I think we all know that the earth will be here another 1000 years.
Revelations chapter 20 vs. 14
And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
When I got saved in 1978 the rapture was being preached real hard. Being young in the lord I asked where this was in the bible. I found out that the word rapture was not in the bible. That put up a red flag for me. I looked up the word rapture in my computer bible, and the word rapture was not in there. I searched for the man that started the doctrine of the rapture. I also checked out other church doctrines. Like ‘once saved always saved. Only if we keep ourselves under the blood of Jesus.
Back in the early or mid 1800’s a man by the name of William smith was an army captain. After discharge he became a Baptist minister. He preached that 1 Thessalonians chapter 3 vs. 16 & 17 would take place before Revelations 20 vs. 24. He called this event the rapture. He said that god told him the day and hour the rapture would take place. He and his followers gathered together praising god waiting for this even to happen. The day and hour came and went and nothing happened. They said that this was the most disappointing day that ever was. Smith went on to predict a day and hour every year for the rest of his life and died in disappointment. To this day the rapture is still preached. The way I look at this man was a false prophet. I don’t believe anything a false prophet has to say.
We can’t use the word of god to make a lie. We will have to give an account for this.
Mark chapter 12 vs. 18
Then came unto him the Sadducees which say there is no resurrection.
One thing that I see when I hear the preaching of the rapture is that the wrath of god is mixed up with the wrath of Satan. The 3 ½ years that Satan is going to rule the earth (great tribulation) the Christians will be here. They will have to face the marking of the beast. They will have to accept or refuse this mark. Now the wrath of god will make the wrath of Satan look like a picnic in comparison. No Christian will be in the wrath of god, only those that accepted the mark of Satan. If anyone thinks that they will escape the wrath of Satan then thy need to talk to Paul and tell god to apologize to Steven for he was stoned to death. God told Paul that his grace was sufficient.
God is known respecter of persons. (Acts chapter 10 vs. 34)
Revelations chapter 20 vs. 4, 5 and 6
4: and I saw thrones and they sat upon them and judgment was given unto them and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the word of god and which had not worshipped the beast nor his image. neither had received his mark upon their foreheads or in their hands and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5: but the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6: blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection; on such the second death hath no power but they shall be priest of god and of Christ and shall reign with him a thousand years.
These scriptures tell me the time and who will be in the first resurrection. Let me tell you just how it is going to happen. (Most of what I am saying is in the book of Revelations)
There is going to be a man (false prophet) that god is going to allow him to have control of the earth. This man will have great powers to stop all wars and claim peace on earth as the world knows it. He will claim that he is Jesus. He will require a mark from everyone. Those who refuse this mark will not be able to buy, sell or trade. For 3 ½ years he will rule during this time the true Christians that refuses to mark will die off. Many of the true Christians will give up on god. (Great falling away). During this time the bible says, that if it were possible the very erect would be deceived. God said it is appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgment. But god will have his 3 ½ years. Those who took this mark will be tormented day and night for 3 ½ years. They will not be able to commit suicide, but will be unable to die until the 3 ½ years are up. Then they will be thrown in the lake of fire forever along with the devil and his evil doers.
The bible says the dead in Christ will rise first (which is the gentile Christians) then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the lord.
The end of this world.
Does this sound like some fairy tale to you? You had better ask Jesus into your heart and make sure that is not a fairy tale. God loves everyone, but it is up to us to accept or reject the plan of salvation that he has for us. If we reject his plan (that is so plain that a wayfaring man though he be a fool would not err therein) then hell will be our home to accept his plan means everlasting life.
Jesus Christ our lord and savior the only way to heaven.
