GOD is giving us such super bless-ed kingdom opportunities.

It’s been 1 Year Now since Mission Mexico was Launched

YOU could not be praying for a more appreciative people to receive our LORD’s blessings in the form of a warm delicious local meal, cold drink, and a clear presentation of the Gospel of Jesus in spoken and printed forms.

Jesus [tract] Read, Download it Here 

Year 1: Can you believe it’s already been a year? Thousands of the JESUS tracts in Spanish have been hand delivered with a personal, face to face ministry time and presentation of the Gospel of Jesus!

Thank you for praying and supplying! Your supplications to God and gifts are vital.

HERE IN BEAUTIFUL MEXICO thousands of the JESUS tract in Spanish have been lovingly distributed to thousands of super-receptive precious souls along with the spoken Word. Also at least hundreds of hungry people have been fed, nourished, with local food and cold fresh water, etc.

If we are going to be used of God – it must be now beloved of God. Jesus is coming. Let’s roll saints!

“WE are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9

ABC = Always Be Contributing!

God is watching! Lk 10:25-42


You will recall how brother Daniel was saved about 8 mos ago and water baptized recently. He continues to learn God’s Word and witness often including distributing the JESUS tracts !!!! Want to pause and lift our brother Daniel in prayer?

This just in from brother Daniel here in Mexico:

“I know for sure. God gave me a big mouth and I want people to be saved too, so it’s my pleasure and honor! I love helping brothers but thanks to you I know how powerful the Word of God can be for this same purposes.” Daniel


Early last evening … while bringing food and drink back for one homeless man, Gustavo appeared. All he did was smile. I asked if I could feed him and he indicated in the affirmative. So we walked to a nearby local restaurant and sat down (outside seating). As I began to minister the Word to him, about Jesus, Gustavo immediately began to weep, uncontrollably. And he continued to weep. It was a miracle and he knew it more than anyone. My speculation: Apparently he had been crying out to God to be restored. He had been backslidden. Then I showed him the Reina Valera Spanish Bible on my phone and he took the phone and began read the Word of God aloud until the food came out. He was lost in it. He read for 10-15 minutes. Please pause to lift beloved Gustavo in prayer.

*Gustavo was seriously hungry. He ate a whole large pizza (with the exception of one piece) and a very large sandwich. He consumed near a gallon of water (it seemed). This man had not eaten in days apparently. Thank you for pausing now to ask God to bless this man’s life.

Those who prayed and gave made this exploit possible and many more.

God is able. He is doing a magnificent work in the hearts of the bless-ed people of Mexico.

“WE are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Cor 3:9

Your prayers are vital. 2 Thess 3:1



Florida praise report:

Hilda and Shirley were saved today in FL with our sister Teresita Guadalupe! One before the ministry of the Word (by an elder/man) and one after. God is good. Would you like to lift these 2 new disciples in prayer? More ministry books going to help them.



“Hallelujah to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! He sure knew where He wanted you. And He knew the souls of the people of Mexico were hungry and thirsty for something to fill their empty hearts. They longed for Jesus but without a preacher how could they hear? Romans 10:14. That’s why God sent you!

Now they will thirst now more. John 4:14 “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” Hallelujah to our Jesus who comes and finds us, rescues us, saves us, cleans us and makes us fit for His use and glory!” Karen Cochran


In Mexico, when you pay someone to wash your vehicle, they literally keep working, keep cleaning unto you tell them “that’s good, great job.” Amazing. $6 total including tip, or less.


WHAT you are witnessing here in this picture is Patricio reeling from the blessing that he is being treated to … a delicious meal and drink and treated like a king for an hour…… When I came upon Patricio he had just asked another guy for some help. From behind him I said in Spanish “how are you my friend?” It was definitely as if Jesus was speaking to him and he knew it and immediately hugged and clung to me. I began to minister the Word to him and ask him if he would allow me to buy him a meal to eat and he said yes he was hungry. So we walked a bit further and found a nice local restaurant where the waiter was instructed/asked to get this man whatever he wanted in food and drink. As I paid the man at the restaurant I asked him to specifically take very good care of and comfort this man. And he smiled and agreed. He also was given a JESUS tract and ministered to.

This same thing happened to several people tonight as our LORD alone could have orchestrated!

Tonight several people were blessed in this same way. They were honored and loved and esteemed and most importantly told about the LORD Jesus who came from Heaven to earth to die, be buried and raised again from the dead for them, to forgive and save them.

For some reason, probably your prayers….. I’ve never been hugged, and my forearms and hands kissed…. as much as of lately. These people are beyond precious, meek, humble, and receptive of our LORD Jesus’ original Gospel. Precious Patricio was no exception. Think with me for a moment of the impact that GOD is making via your prayers and gift….. They are receiving a delicious local family meal and drink and told how much Jesus loves them, that He came and died and rose again for them and that they can actually know Him and be known of Him, to be one of His children, to be forgiven completely by His precious blood, etc.

As we read the Gospels we see Jesus went where He was celebrated, not where He was just tolerated.

Is God preparing and calling you to His work? Let go beloved of God and ask Him to have HIS way completely in your life!

Jesus surely is our coming KING saints. People’s hearts are crying out for Him. And when they hear His holy name and Gospel they know this is the truth they’ve been looking, hungering for their whole lives and what is missing from their lives! Would you like to lift this man in prayer?

Let’s roll saints!
The King is coming.

OK so think about how easy it would be and it is in Mexico to make a flavored drink. Just step back for a minute and compare that to the complex garbage that flavored or “soft” drinks are made with in America where there are no telling how many additives, none that are good for you. In Mexico, here’s the simplicity of flavored drinks, something other than bland water. All they do is take fresh fruit blended up and mix it with cold water. Absolutely the most delicious and naturally flavored drinks ever.


Thank you for praying. Alvarado was fed God’s Word, exhorted to pray in repentance and faith and be saved. He was given a delicious local vendor meal and cold drink.   More of Mission Mexico here



Great Gospel things happening in the hearts of the Mexican people being reached!

This is beloved Max. He received thorough ministry of our LORD’s Word, given a JESUS tract, and is now receiving regular communication of the Gospel on his device!

You are invited to pause and pray to our Father in Jesus’ name for this man! Col 4:12 boom

Cristo Reina Para Siempre !



Would you like to pray for Yoan? Recently he received thorough ministry and rejoiced to know you will be praying for him. He’s got 2 of the Spanish books from the ministry so far.

Jaime was excited to know and welcomed God’s people praying for him.


Thanks for pausing to lift up beloved Heraldo.


A dear man named Abraham recently received the ministry of the love of God, the Word of the Gospel of Jesus. Please pause and lift him in prayer. Phil 4:6


At the end of tonight’s ministry time, I was across town and saw a hungry man, a man named Chris, hunkering down for the evening. He had found a place to lay his head. I asked him if he were hungry and he said “yes.” I told him I’d be back in a few minutes and so went and found a local vendor serving delicious food. While getting Chris food and drink, 2 individual men were ministered to – loved, fed and having the Word spoken to them and given a JESUS tract. They both asked for my number and gladly received the Born Again book in Spanish texted to them! Gospel train rolling in Mexico! And your prayers make that possible!

***Each of these men tonight were asked if they would like Christians in the United States to pray for them. Without exception, the were elated to hear that YOU were going to be praying for them – lifting them before the Almighty in the name of Jesus!

Alejandro was eager to hear God’s Word today and it was a whole Gospel message and as usual he was shown the prayer on the back of the JESUS tract and exhorted to go home and repent and receive Jesus into His life and assured that Jesus was going to save and wash all his sins away. His face lit up and he was super excited to know that you will be lifting him in prayer.

It all started when the girl he works with was reading JW (Jehovah Witness) literature. They were both informed that the JW org is an antichrist cult. Alejandro seemed to agree for sure and the girl was very receptive and believed this truth also. She gladly heard the Word and received a tip and JESUS tract. They were both informed that the Reina Valera Bible (KJB equivalent) is the pure Word of God.

***Numerous people heard the whole of the declaration of God’s Word. This is a blessing for many reasons including that the JW cult is heavily attempting to invade this city. Their cursed lies will not prosper in Jesus’ name (Isaiah 54:17; Galatians 1:6-9).

Also….as I reflect upon this, it seems apparent that God set this whole event up as only He can do by sending an older lady who is poor to ask me for more help in the way of coin. She was invited to be blessed with lunch yet only wanted a cold drink of her choice and some help. They witnessed God’s love in action and perhaps this contributed to their eagerness to receive the Gospel of our LORD Jesus – and to be instructed to go home and repent and receive Jesus Christ.

Thank you for lifting Alejandro and the lady in prayer today.
God is listening and will answer. (1 Peter 3:12).
Jesus is saving souls today saints!


This is a special man.
Please lift him in prayer.
He was super receptive to our LORD’s Gospel.



“God is permeating the city and country of Mexico! Just as we see in the book of Acts. Acts 2:47. The new believers then begin to witness to the lost adding to the body daily! Praise the God of heaven and earth!” Karen Cochran




TODAY: DO YOU REMEMBER THIS GUY FROM LAST WEEK, WHOM SOME OF YOU LIFTED IN PRAYER?

I went to pick up a food item from the market and Reyes grabbed me excitedly. It caught me off guard. It was as if he was looking for me or waiting to see me again. Remember he was ministered to last week – preached to in Spanish (the Word) and also given a JESUS tract in Spanish? The beaming smile that consumed Reyes today prompted me to remember last week and ask him if he prayed the prayer, repented and received Christ! He immediately said “Yes!” It was obvious. We celebrated his new life in Christ, fellowshipped and exchanged numbers. I asked if he’d like me to text him the PDF of a small book on being established in Christ. He immediately affirmed and so I sent it to him – the What’s Next book which is now in Spanish. Jesus is saving souls today!!!!


Beloved Gabriel, who sleeps on this bench, received God’s love from God and His people in the form of a warm hamburger, cold water, the kindness of God and the JESUS tract and a lengthy communication of the spoken Word.



Your prayers and love support is what makes these things possible. We can only report on a small portion of all our LORD is doing. The Gospel of Jesus is being preached and taught daily! (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20, etc.).

Yet another man named Fernando, and a special one at that. This man received God’s love in the form of immediate financial help, a JESUS tract, and the spoken Word of God in Spanish. Thank you for lifting him in prayer. Colossians  4:12 – As usual 100% amazing reception!!!


TODAY: Because some gave …. Beloved Armando received God’s love in the form of a really nice rotisserie chicken dinner, and bottled water, along with a JESUS tract in Spanish. I was able to sit and speak with Armando at length. God’s Word was truly touching his heart as the LORD seemed to quicken me to plead with him to receive God’s forgiveness in Christ and to please don’t go to hell, but rather to Heaven, through the precious blood of Jesus which will wash away all your sins. Armando was shown the prayer on the back of the JESUS tract and exhorted to pray that prayer, to repent and receive Jesus.

“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” Proverbs 19:17

After the ministry went forth to Armando, I went to see our new friend Jorge, who is a born again disciple of our Savior. The store he owns is near where Armando, who is homeless, is staying. I shared the ministry that had taken place with Armando and kindly asked Jorge to consider feeding Armando tomorrow. He agreed.

Thank you for praying for both these men.

Alfredo was captivated by our LORD as he listened to God’s Word spoken to him in Spanish. In the picture he’s looking down at the JESUS tract he received. Wonderful young man for sure!


This dear lady received thorough ministering to. I never could grasp her name. But God knows.


Who wants to lift this precious woman to our LORD? Lisa
While driving by and looking over at this beloved woman, this creation of our God, my heart was quickened, moved upon to stop and buy food from this beloved lady (which was then given to a hungry person). Upon preaching God’s Word to Lisa, she immediately spoke of being a born again disciple. She loved it when I told her it’s all about a relationship with Jesus and NOT religion. Boom. I informed her that you would pray for her, would pray for God’s blessings upon her life. Thank you for lifting our dear sister in Christ to the Father in Jesus’ holy name.


A precious Mexican family I’ve become friends with.
They have and continue to receive God’s love and ministry.
Your prayers for this special family are invited.


This beloved woman received a blessing today along with a fresh supply of the JESUS tracts which she is distributing.


T’was blessed to spend time with Javier. He’d been ministered to extensively months ago. Last night when I saw him, I told him it was great to see him so joyful. His response was that he’s been reading the Spanish version of the Moments book that I had sent to him in PDF format. He said he reads the Scriptures and prays each morning. God is moving on the hearts of men saints! 1 Cor 3:9

*Javier was again exhorted to download the Spanish Bible – KJB equivalent Reina Valera. He now has all 3 of the books the ministry has in Spanish! Thanks for pausing to pray for Javier.

“Cup Runneth Over” Heavenly Evangelism [podcast]


“Let the word of Christ dwell in you RICHLY (abundantly) in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16

WHEN our LORD’s Word is running rich in your spirit via daily deposits, it’s going to overflow from your life—a crucified life that’s truly anointed, filled with His Holy Ghost and Word, a  “vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.”

“If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.” 2 Timothy 2:21

Beloved of God, we don’t even have to try in our flesh to do ministry.

“Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; MY CUP RUNNETH OVER.” Psalms 23:5

When we are so full and overflowing with His grace and glory via fellowship with our Savior, it’s going to pour out of our lives and it’s going to be flowing from Him—“a pure river of water of life.”

WHEN we are full of Jesus, we’re going to exude and to speak Jesus. His love is going to overflow onto others (Psalms 23:5)!

“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.” Revelation 22:1

As we drink from His heavenly water daily, He’s going to guide our steps—right into divine appointments He alone could have orchestrated!

“Mark 16:15-16. This is a call to action. To step beyond our comfort levels. Not hide in the apostate churches but to go out into the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. Key word is go!” Karen Cochran

Yes, and one doesn’t even need to schedule special times. If we are seeking God, as His very temples, our lives are brimming over with His power, grace, and love! It WILL happen.

“A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.” Jeremiah 17:12

As the divine virtue of Jesus Christ flows into His children …. it’s then Him living in and through them.

“If we intimately know Jesus we share him through our daily lives, our conduct, and by the words of our mouth through proclaiming His Word. If we only know of Jesus, we usually point people to a church in hopes that this will absolve us of our sin of unbelief. The latter: if we remain in this state, it will result in hearing the most fearful words of all, ‘Depart from me, I know not whence you are’ (Luke 13:27). Be the church! Be the living Gospel and not the withered branches of dead religion. ‘Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually’ (1 Chronicles 16:11).” Jon Crane

“The Lukewarm Christian vs the Christian of whom Jesus is their first love: The Lukewarm only care about self. That’s why they don’t share the Gospel. They are in churches that tell them how great they are and tickle their ears. They refuse to lay down their lives and follow Christ who said, ‘Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it’ (Matthew 7: 13-14).” Karen Cochran

“For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.” Acts 17:28

Recently someone wrote the following:

“The average professing Christian attending church sings over 500 songs and hymns, listens to over 200 ‘Bible’ messages every year and does not share the Gospel with even 1 person.”

“Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: 9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.” Luke 12:8-9 

IF my life didn’t have enough of Jesus in it to obediently spill over onto others, I’d be deeply concerned for my eternal soul. The vessels, the lamps of the Heaven-ready wife virgins are filled daily by personal communion with Christ and the FatherHis Word and prayer, praise, and fellowship (Matthew 25:1-13).

“Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;” Psalms 107:2

Is Jesus Your “First Love” Today?

“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” Revelation 2:4-5

If you are not on fire for Jesus today, all you have so far is dead religion.

“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. … 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:6, 16

The light of Jesus in you is going to shine brighter and brighter through your life as you hunger and thirst for more of Him, crying out with John the Baptist – “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30).

As long as you are putting logs on the fire, you are going to burn bright for Jesus!

When you cease putting logs on the fire, when you slack at stacking logs on that love fire for and with Jesus, your light is going to dim.

“They shall be filled” – JESUS fills no one who chooses not to hunger and thirst after more of Him (Matthew 5:6).

ALL not hungering and thirsting for more of Jesus have rejected His Lordship in their personal lives.

“There is a glow and a spiritual fragrance about the life of a person who is Spirit filled that is unlike anything found in natural man. The beauty of divine holiness ought to be radiated from all Christians. It is always seen in the lives of those who are truly controlled by the Spirit.” G. Christian Weiss, Insights into Bible Times and Customs

To overflow with the love, the joy of Jesus, you must first be filled with Him, His holy presence – and that’s only given to those who are hungering and thirsting after Him (Psalms 23:5).

May the LORD, as we make Him our Shepherd, cause His river, the bless-ed oil of His holy presence, run over, overflow from our lives onto the lives of others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, I come to You in repentancefor all my sins, including foolishly attempting to do things my way instead of Yours. In this I have committed the sins of idolatry, unbelief, pride, and rebellion. Please wash me clean in Thy precious blood dear LORD Jesus. Now, please begin Your deep work of cleansing this vessel of every stitch and tainting that defiles me in Your holy eyes. Here and now I submit my spirit, this whole being into Your holy hands and care dear LORD. In Jesus’ name. I am all Yours my dear LORD Jesus.

Jesus’ Counsel to the Lukewarm [podcast]


Laodicea: How Jesus Instructs the Backslidden to be Restored

Jesus’ Letter to the Church at Laodicea

“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 

17  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 

18  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 

19  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 

20  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 

21  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 

22  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. 

The cross, the crucified life is the cure to the curse of sin—sin dominating our lives.

Romans 6

Inflation is part of the judgment of God upon a wicked people, nation. We see such in Sodom and in Laodicea (Ezekiel 16:49-59; Romans 1; Revelaton 3:14-22).

“It appears that in this scarcity each might be able to obtain a bare subsistence by his daily labor; but a man could not, in such cases, provide for a family.” Adam Clarke

Your money doesn’t go far….. inflation

“Revelation 6 describes the opening of the first six seals, which represent God’s judgment, often called the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The third seal, broken by a “black horse,” is interpreted to show hyper-inflation and famine, where a day’s wage (a denarius) buys only a quart of wheat. The judgment includes a command to preserve the oil and wine, which some interpret as luxury goods, while essential food becomes scarce and expensive.”

“6:5, 6 In obedience to the third living creature, a rider holding a set of scales came forth on a black horse. This represents famine, which often follows war. A voice in the middle of the four living creatures announced that wheat and barley were being sold at prohibitive prices. The scales were used to weigh the rationed grain and were thus a symbol of famine. The expression do not harm the oil and the wine is difficult. Some say that these were the food of the poor. If they were staple items, then they must be protected in order to preserve life. It seems more likely, however, that the luxury items of the rich are contemplated here: historically, even in famine the rich can get some luxuries.Believer’s Bible Commentary

The only thing needed to go to hell is to not be on fire for Jesusto be “lukewarm” (Revelation 3:15-16).

Jesus instructed the Laodicean church… to obtain, to “buy of me….

“3:18 The people were counseled to buy from the Lord gold refined in the fire. This may mean divine righteousness, which is bought without money or price (Isa_55:1) but received as a gift through faith in the Lord Jesus. Or it may mean genuine faith, which when tested in the fire, results in praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ (1Pe_1:7).

Also the people were counseled to buy white garments, that is, practical righteousness in everyday life. And they should anoint their eyes with eye salve, that is, gain true spiritual vision through the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. This counsel was especially appropriate, since Laodicea was known as a center for banking, textiles, and medicines—especially eye salve.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

“Revelation 3:18
I counsel thee – O fallen and deceived soul, hear Jesus! Thy case is not hopeless. Buy of me.
Gold tried in the fire – Come and receive from me, without money and without price, faith that shall stand in every trial: so gold tried in the fire is here understood. But it may mean pure and undefiled religion, or that grace or Divine influence which produces it, which is more valuable to the soul than the purest gold to the body. They had before imaginary riches; this alone can make them truly rich.
White raiment – Holiness of heart and life.
Anoint thine eyes – Pray for, that ye may receive, the enlightening influences of my Spirit, that ye may be convinced of your true state, and see where your help lies.” Adam Clarke

Warning

“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” Revelation 16:15 

Coming forth as Purified Gold

“But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” Job 23:10

To “come forth as gold” refers to the finished product, where gold has been purified of all its impurities.

“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:” 1 Peter 1:7 

“The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.” Proverbs 17:3 

Idolatry is Sin

Putting, having anything or anyone before Christ in our lives is the soul damning sin of idolatry. Such a person has rejected Christ for something, anything else.

One such idol, one such cause today is patriotism for one’s earthly country. See Hebrews 11:14-16.

SO, you are fighting to save America (impossible) and not see souls saved for and by Jesus? Yet you claim to be following Christ who said “I MUST be about my Father’s business”? See Luke 2:49. You are deceived and in need of repentance before it’s too late. You left your “first love” and are in sin, in darkness (Revelation 2:4-5).

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. 34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.”  Daniel 11:32-35

“Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” Daniel 12:10

PRAYER: Father in Jesus’ name, please grant to my heart Your gift of repentance and the deep desire to have Your righteousness, to not be deceived by sin, Satan, or counterfeits and false teachers. Please forgive all my sins afresh, here and now by Your precious blood LORD Jesus. Unite my heart to fear Your name. Fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me LORD. In Jesus’ name, amen.

“You Who are Troubled Rest with Us” [podcast]


Many instill fear in Christ’s saints concerning these last days. Paul says: “You Who are Troubled Rest with Us” 

“Rest with us” because Justice is Coming

2 Thessalonians 1:3-10

3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

4  So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

The Judgment at Christ’s Coming

5  Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

6  Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

7  And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

8  In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

9  Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

10  When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Divine “vengeance” is coming “vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:” (v8)

Remember, while He instructed us not “avenge,” He also promised that “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Romans 12:19

We shall rejoice to see the LORD retribution come upon the wicked.

“The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11 that a man shall say, 11 1  So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.” Psalms 58:10-11

The Happenings just before Christ’s Soon Return

Luke 21:25-28

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:25-28

Being Prepared for His Return

Luke 21:34-36

“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21:34-36 

Walking unwavering with and suffering with Christ and His body now – as we look forward to being with Him!

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18

The LORD knows all before it happens and He’s not surprised of anything. God is going to use all these things to conform His people to Christ. Remember, all things are not good but God takes them and uses them to conform us to Christ, to be “crucified with Christ.” (Galatians 2:20).

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” Romans 8:28-29

This truth has never been so relevant saints of Christ and the signs of the season of His return are at hand. He’s coming for you precious one!!!! Rescue mission!!! The Return of Heaven’s KING

May God allow us to preach in such a way as to cause His people to begin to be homesick for Heaven to be with Him.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9

I wonder how full our hearts will be as we become nourished up in His Word concerning Heaven. Will our hearts not burst forth and be filled with excitement, overflowing with joy like before we go on a vacation, the anticipation filling our hearts as we eagerly await being with our glorious Savior and Father? Read John 14:1-6 and Revelation 21.

Calling on the name above all names today. He’s the Maker and Controller of His whole universe and He’s coming back soon to retake control of it all – to decisively, violently put down all of His enemies both demonic and human (Colossians 1:16-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 19:11-16).  

No matter what’s going on – good or bad – WE KNOW that the song is true …. that our “God is so good, God is soooo gooood, God is so good, He’s so good to me…..” … There’s NO way to sing this simple song of praise and not get happy in Jesus! Impossible.

Our LORD Jesus is coming to establish His perfect Government on His earth. Stand by. Occupy. Rejoice. Look up. “Your redemption draweth nigh.” (Luke 21:28).

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9:6-7 

We can be sure that mankind is fallen and cannot solve his own problem – which is sin against His Maker. Only the Prince of Peace, our LORD Jesus, can do so…. and He will (Isaiah 9:6-7).

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Luke 2:14

He is going to crush His enemies under His feet (Romans 16:20; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 19:11-16; 1 Corinthians 15:25, 27).

PRAYER: Holy Father, in the name of Jesus, please break me, cause me to be truly poor in spirit with a humble, contrite heart of flesh. Please grant a deep compassion in me dear LORD Jesus as You conform me to Your holy image in the crucified life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
