END-TIME KINGDOM TRUTHS
IN THE SPIRIT of the END of things (1999 about to end), people are VERY INTERESTED in MANY DIFFERENT spiritual things .. TODAY, I am going to “weigh in” on several IMPORTANT KINGDOM subjects ! !

I DO BELIEVE the Kingdom of God IS coming HERE to us NOW :)
Matt 3:2 (KJV)
2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand (here).

I BELIEVE its TIME to JOIN our brothers and sisters in Christ in TRUE UNITY, thus ushering in the GREAT REVIVAL ! !
Matt 12:22-28 NIV)
22 Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see.
23 All the people were astonished and said, "Could this be the Son of David?"
24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "It is only by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons."
25 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "EVERY KINGDOM DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF WILL BE RUINED, EVERY KINGDOM DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF WILL BE RUINED, EVERY KINGDOM DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF WILL BE RUINED, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
26 If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?
27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
28 But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the KINGDOM OF GOD HAS COME UPON YOU.
Have you looked in a PHONE BOOK under CHURCHES ?? Division - the thing that God hates the MOST -- it is TIME for us to EMBRACE other Christians and STOP criticizing their “methods” or “lack of spirituality” and LOVE them and WORK TOGETHER to spread the Gospel to ALL the EARTH :) If you are BORN AGAIN, you are WITH ME ! ! !
SURE, there WILL be a FALSE church:
Rev 17:1-6 (NIV)
1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters.
2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries."
3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.
4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.
5 This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished.
I AM NOT WORRIED about joining with the FALSE CHURCH?? I look for what I call the 4 “ORTHODOX” or “ORIGINAL” doctrines in a minister or a church, then JOIN with them in HEART and PURPOSE :) Here they are:
#1) The PREEXISTENCE of Christ (believing that he is GOD come in human form, NOT just another MAN or PROPHET).
#2) The VIRGIN BIRTH of Christ (once again, if He REALLY IS God, then He could NOT have had an earthly father).
#3) The SINLESS LIFE of Jesus (I don’t believe as some do, that Jesus GAVE IN to the temptations He faced .. the BIBLE says He was TEMPTED with ALL the temptation that we are, but that He DID NOT SIN).
#4) The VICARIOUS DEATH, BURIAL, and RESURRECTION of Jesus (His WHOLE PURPOSE in coming here was to shed His blood and take away our sins so we could be FORGIVEN and be with HIM :)

HERE IS ANOTHER important KINGDOM subject that I am going to “weigh in” on:
I have been asked the question by Frances Hunter and OTHERS through the years, “Have we made the Gospel TOO EASY?”
After MANY YEARS, the SIMPLE TRUTH hit me . . . NO ... GOD DID ! ! !
John 3:16-18 (NIV)
16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD, but to SAVE the world through him.
18 WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
John 1:12 (NIV)
12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, HE GAVE THE RIGHT TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD
Rom 10:9-13 (NIV)
9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-- the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,
13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord WILL BE SAVED."
