JESUS PROMISED:
... I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I Am, there you may be also... John 14:3

BUT... ARE MOST WHO NOW THINK THAT THEY ARE 'BORN-AGAIN' CHRISTIANS, TRULY READY TO MEET THE BRIDEGROOM, LET ALONE KNOW OR EVEN CARE THAT JESUS IS COMING SOON?
 
1“Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. 3For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, 4but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps. 5Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. 6But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ 7“Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8The foolish said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9But the prudent answered, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’ 10And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. 11Later the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’ 12“But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour.  Matthew 25:1-13 

ARE YOU FILLED WITH THE PRECIOUS OIL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AS JESUS REQUIRES AND SPIRITUALLY WAITING AND WATCHING LOVINGLY AND EXPECTANTLY FOR JESUS OR HAVE YOU BEEN DECEIVED BY SOME PHONEY OR DEFICIENT "GOSPEL"?

The meaning of the name of this site:

Abba = our loving, Heavenly Father meaning: 'Daddy' or 'Papa'
For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a Spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!"
 Romans 8:15

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.  Galatians 4:6

Ark = Holy, Biblical rescue Vessel of salvation, through which (or through Whom) God reveals His intents, purposes, plans & Presence to mankind (as in the Ark of the Covenant, Noah's Ark and yes... Jesus the ultimate Ark)

JESUS IS ABBA'S ARK!  JESUS IS OUR ARK (Holy Rescue Vessel) OF SALVATION- OUR PERFECT, ETERNAL DWELLING PLACE- OUR HOME!
(for all who repent of their sins: receive Him as Lord and Savior; obey and follow Him)

JESUS Himself, is God's ultimate, Holy Vessel of Salvation... JESUS IS GOD'S SHIP (Ark) OF SALVATION and spiritually similar to Noah's Ark, which was a spiritual metaphor- a foreshadowing of the Ultimate Ark: Jesus our Great God and Savior... our Gospel Ship;  ABBA'S ARK, IS ABOUT TO SAIL (the Rapture), to "RECEIVE US UNTO HIMSELF" (John 14:3), TO "SNATCH US" (RAPTURE US) LIKE A THIEF (coming) IN THE NIGHT!
(I Thessalonians 5:2)  Jesus didn't come to earth just to give us a message from God. Jesus is not just a Messenger, JESUS IS GOD'S MESSAGE. Jesus isn't merely someone who is pointing the way to God.  JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY, THE ONLY TRUTH AND THE ONLY LIFE!   JESUS IS ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING BECAUSE JESUS IS GOD!

(Christians mustn't look down upon (condemn or harbor contempt) anyone for not believing the way that we do- God has given us ALL freedom of choice. We respect everyone's right to believe however they want, as long as they are NOT harming themselves, others or condemning my same rights)

JESUS PROCLAIMED: "I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE"... JOHN 10:3.  "IF YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN ME, YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN MY FATHER ALSO; FROM NOW ON YOU KNOW HIM AND HAVE SEEN HIM  JOHN 14:7  "FOR IN HIM DWELLS ALL THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY" COLOSSIANS 2:9


FOR ALL WHO LOVE HIM AND KNOW HIM:
JESUS IS OUR HOME!

The heart and most important message of this website, can be found in reading my online book: 'Jesus Is Our Dwelling Place'.

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will eat with him, and he with me. Rev. 3:20 
CALL ON HIM NOW! DON'T WAIT!

... Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. ... Psalm 16:11  


This site is dedicated to abiding IN Jesus (deep worship: knowing and walking in Jesus in Spirit and in Truth) and the dire need for being ready for His coming by repenting of dead or counterfeit religion. The Apostle Paul prophesied that right before Jesus would come for His church, there would be a massive and spiritually militant, falling away from the Truth of the Gospel (apostasy) and because that has become so rampant, to not thoroughly identify what it is and those who are leading and spreading it, may be politically correct but would NOT be obedience to God and to my calling, which is as an evangelist and a watchman.


WELCOME TO THE 'ENTER INN'   Please stay for a while...enter into His mighty Presence and worship the King of Kings! I pray that Jesus anoints these words to you and I hope that you fall under the conviction of Truth by the power of the Holy Spirit! Our focus above all is Jesus and His word, followed by living IN Him and allowing Jesus to be made manifest IN and through us. The third emphasis here is the prophesied return of Jesus for us and many of the prophetic fulfillments that are happening right in front of our eyes, particularly the infamous "falling away from the truth" (apostasy) of many who call themselves Christians.  Jesus and His Apostles and Prophets warned us intensely (Paul was in tears for three years because he foresaw this time Acts 20:29) that the "falling away" of many, would happen right before He would come to Rapture His bride the true church: "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, (the Rapture & the Day of the Lord) except there come a falling away first, (ie: militant spiritual rebellion against the Truth of the Gospel = APOSTASY) and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition..." (the rise of the Antichrist)  
II Thess. 2:3.  There are many popular counterfeits and false prophets peddling THEIR designer "jesus" and THEIR brand of false "christianity" just as Jesus and His Apostles and prophets warned us!

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron…” (I Timothy 4:1-2)

YOU CANNOT FULLY ABIDE IN CHRIST IF YOU HAVE BEEN DECEIVED:

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.   Ephesians 4:14-16

The Lord also warned us through Paul (who agonized over what would happen to the church in the future) that upon his departure, "savage wolves" would descend upon the flock; savage wolves now dominate Christendom:

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous  wolves ("savage" wolves in other translations) enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 31Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.  Acts 20:29-31

Our Lord Jesus is longing to cleanse His temples (correction & repentance in us and in His church) most of which have been thoroughly polluted with all sorts of worldly philosophies and New Age beliefs; materialism, positivism, political correctness, spiritual deceptions; seductions, perverse doctrines and practices, some of which are extremely subtle and require a keen gift of spiritual discernment to identify the worst of them. There are many major "christian" movements that are really cults disguised as being Christian ministries, depending on how far they go in applying their errant beliefs. I have found it absolutely imperative to identify these "movements" and their dangerous teachings.  They are led by charismatic 'pillow (false) prophets,' preaching mostly that which tickles the ears (For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, II Timothy 4:3 NASB)  of the masses, (makes them 'feel good' about themselves) rather than convicts them of their sins. Their pseudo-christianity (dead religion) causes them to fall away from or to reject the true faith and impassions  them to follow that particular 'false prophet' (or church) and willingly or by conditioning, they give them their money and their blind obedience.  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  Matthew 7:15 

These shallow, false teachers (but they are fierce and cunning behind the scenes as I found out firsthand), are making merchandise of God's flock while validating their own worldly lifestyles and 'massive ego trips' by preaching an intensely compromised and man-made (different) "gospel." This has created many superficial, 'cultural Christians,' many of these pose as evangelicals. You will hear many preach a sophmoric, (pragmatic) Gospel while giving lip-service to Jesus, designed to subjegate them into their warrenite doctrines, while the Faith Movement hucksters dwell upon their "name-it-and-claim-it, health and wealth dangerous gnosticism. Both major movements are re-creating and revising Christianity to suit their own apostate image, for the purpose of greed and power.

Most 'Word Faith charismaniacs,' militantly proclaim their Faith Movement, "prosperity," positive confession, mercenary formulas but are spiritually superficial (at best) and are merely going through the motions for the purpose of gaining power, position, "blessings" and filthy lucre. These intense phonies teach extremely unbiblical dogmas and practices by warping and twisting the word and invoking occult practices like visualization, which is witchcraft. Many would also label me as being a 'Charismatic,' though I am a classicical evangelical who strives to live by the Bible and walking with Jesus through His glorious Spirit.  I don't look down upon anyone, for by the grace of God go I.  There are those who call themselves "charismatics" who reject the  abusive and dangerous Word-Faith dogmas and other superficial, new fad "seeker" movements, such as the "Purpose Driven Church," which is perhaps the most subtle, slick and dangerous deception today. Some mega churches are now combining both major streams of apostasy, (a synthesis) like Joel Osteen, who preaches what many now call a "Happy Talk" gospel. He seems so "positive" and "encouraging," which makes his false "gospel" so seductive and deceptive.

WHY I AM MOTIVATED TO EXPOSE THESE APOSTATE "MOVEMENTS" AND TO CALL THEM TO REPENTANCE AND HOPEFULLY HELP TO RESTORE THEM TO PURE FAITH IN JESUS:
  17But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, 18that they were saying to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.” 19These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit. 20But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. 22And have mercy on some, who are doubting; 23save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.  Jude 17-23  NASB

I condemn no one but we are commanded by Jesus to judge righteously and in love but to call them to repentance. There are still some wonderful people in some of these errant movements, though deceived to various degrees. I have a dear cousin who is angry with me because I come against the ungodly doctrines and practices in her beloved idol, called the "Word of Faith Prosperity, Positive confession, Name-it-and-claim-it Movement" but she also loves the Lord. I believe that she mostly prays in biblical faith as led by the Spirit (not by her imagination and rarely according to an ungodly "Faith" formula) and I know that she has seen the dangers and abuses in that movement- yet still venerates the apostate teachings of Ken Copeland and 'Papa Hagin.' Christians can have some extremely wrong beliefs that partially blind them to the truth and still love God, though God is calling all of those adepts to repentance from those ungodly "Faith" Movement doctrines. She has no idea just how much stronger her faith would be if she repented of those dangerous doctrines.

The Apostle Peter is case in point as Peter had to be rebuked to his face by the Apostle Paul for pandering to and for favoring Jewish Christians and disfavoring gentile Christians. He had fallen into practicing the earliest type of 'Cultural Christianity,' discriminating against gentile Christians and was still bowing to Judaism and the law, as if only Jews could be saved. Many modern "christian movements" are bowing to vain philosophies, psychology and "church" styles and formulas concocted by ungodly men, instead of fixing their spiritual eyes on Jesus and seeking Him! Many of them are fixated upon how God can bring them health, wealth and success or "grow their church" but are NOT first and foremost set upon worshiping and following Jesus (in Spirit and in Truth) and if they find out that you question or disagree with them, they show you just how intolerant and cult-like they really are. The "Church Growth Movement," including the apostate, "Purpose Driven Church," puts the veritable cart before the horse as they idolize "church growth" and are willing to do just about anything to acheive it. Jesus called in Paul, the formerly hardcore Pharisee (Jew of Jews) to openly correct Peter, which proves that even highly positioned Christian leaders can become severely self-deceived and fall into dangerous doctrines and practices. My dear cousin is a modern day case in point but every "Faith Movement" ministry that I've seen and heard, is dangerously toxic and in gross error and behind the scenes, usually demands strict and ungodly submission to their "leaders," which they have revised as being church "unity." This same kind of dictatorship and revision of biblical "unity" can be seen in the Purpose Driven Church because many of them are strictly following the mercenary, Calvinist edicts of eclectic apostate, Rick Warren.  Most of these kinds of congregations just do as they're told and follow their apostate leaders like sheeple being led to slaughter because they see what happens to sheep who dare question them. They label them as "dissenters" and marginalize them or evict them, in what I call: "The Purpose Driven Inquisition."

This is a full Gospel filling station! Though we are NOT a Faith Movement ministry, nor are we "purpose driven." (we do love and have tolerance for ALL people, as real Christians do!) We want to be Spirit-led at all times and are NOT allergic to God's precious Holy Spirit or His gifts! We are NOT cessastionist (the spiritual gifts did not yet "cease"). Without the gifts of God's Spirit, we can do nothing for Jesus BUT we don't accentuate, idolize or covet certain gifts. We DON'T preach that all should speak in tongues as the only sign that someone has been baptized into God's Spirit. We preach the unfettered biblical Truth. God will lead and reveal His Truth to all of His true children that hear His voice, by the power of His Holy Spirit! God commands us to be filled with God's Spirit to be of ANY service to Jesus but first you must be cleansed by the eternal power of the blood of the Lamb of God!
We are greatly inspired by many early evangelists (Finney and Moody in particular). I am praying and calling millions to repentance from these numerous, popular cisterns of heresy and am praying for a mighty spiritual revival before Jesus comes.

I am in the process of combining two sites here; the articles farther down on the menu are from what used to be Spirittruth.com That site focused upon exposing the vast, pervasive popular deceptions, seductions and aposatsies that are now so popular and dominate evangelical Christendom today, just as Jesus and the Apostles warned us would happen in the end times. (please pardon the dozens of dead links, which must be updated) It only means that we must love, obey, abide in and worship Jesus more dearly than ever because Jesus IS coming soon, as all of these apostasies now indicate.

(Encouraging all believers to enter DAILY into and remain in the Lord's Presence as He implores us in His word, through continual worship, praise, prayer, study and meditation in His word!)

SOUNDING THE ALARM!   JESUS IS COMING SOON!
ARE YOU READY?

There has never been more intensive and wonderfully ominous signs that the Rapture and 'Day of the Lord' are IMMINENT...even at the door!

(Please advance this video to around 4:00 to begin the meat of this message.)



GOD'S WORD PROMISES US THAT "IN HIS PRESENCE IS FULLNESS OF JOY"
(Ps 16:11) AND GOD COMMANDS HIS CHILDREN TO "ENTER HIS GATES WITH THANKSGIVING; GO INTO HIS COURTS WITH PRAISE. GIVE THANKS TO HIM AND PRAISE HIS NAME!" (Ps 100:4) THE SECRET OF DWELLING CONSTANTLY IN JESUS, IS TO REMAIN IN AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE, PRAISE AND WORSHIP "LET US THEREFORE CONTINUALLY OFFER A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE" Heb. 13:15 

THERE IS ABUNDANT HOLY SPIRIT POWER TO KNOW JESUS THROUGH AND ACCORDING TO HIS WORD! HIS INDWELLING SPIRIT MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR HIS CHILDREN TO ABIDE IN JESUS, THROUGH SINCERE PRAISE AND WORSHIP, WHICH GOD WANTS TO BE OUR CONTINUAL ATTITUDE TOWARD HIM!

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Psalm 22.3

 
Though I take great joy in knowing that Jesus could come for us at any moment, his website, IS NOT primarily about the coming Rapture of the church but rather about the joyous rapture of knowing, loving and worshiping our loving Creator- God- King and personal Savior, Jesus our Messiah (in Spirit and in Truth) and being ready for His coming! Above all, this site is dedicated to accentuating the biblical fact that anyone who has been born again, has the supernatural privilege of abiding IN Jesus (living, dwelling spiritually IN Christ), which is at the heart of our relationship with Him. We are not married to or preoccupied with an eschatological dogma but rather with Jesus Christ Himself, our Bridegroom and Eternal King! Jesus desires for us to want Him to lead and lovingly dominate our daily lives, (known as a 'personal relationship with Christ' and the 'Lordship' of Christ in our lives). The ongoing pursuit and revelation of Jesus to us and in us, results in a deep and rich relationship with Him: Christ in us the hope of glory...we have this Treasure in earthen vessels. (Jesus is the Ultimate Treasure!) The Christian life is impossible to live in our own strength for "IT IS NO LONGER I WHO LIVE BUT CHRIST WHO LIVES IN ME (and through me!) Gal. 2:20. It is imperative that Jesus lives IN and through us or we turn into hollow facsimiles, merely going through religious motions! Jesus wants to live in and through us by the power of His Holy Spirit. When we abide IN Him, He abides in us! His desire for us is that we become one with Him and the Father! We find our Home in Him and He makes His home in us! JESUS IS OUR HOME NOW AND FOREVER!



He who dwells in the Secret Place (Jesus) of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty     Psalm 91:1 

The bride of Christ has been in a joyous and anticipatory mode of waiting and watching for 2 millennia, which causes us to be increasingly spiritually vigilant and desire to be pure and abandoned to Jesus. The 'church age' is nearly over on this earth as the true church is soon going to be 'snatched' (Raptured) from this earth. Those of us who believe in the imminency of Jesus coming for us at some point (which no man can know) in the immediate future, are merely being obedient in having the loving devotion to Jesus and His Word that all Christians are supposed to have and that so many modern "movements" scoff at.  The doctrine of the Rapture is not synonomous with abiding in Christ but believing deeply that Jesus could come for us at any time, does cause us to want to seek Him passionately and to desperately know and abide IN Him while we patiently wait and grow in Him. Afterall, Jesus does eventually come for us all at our time of death, at which time our eternal spirits are 'snatched' or raptured away to be forever with Him! So whether by death or by Rapture, we get to suddenly and unexpectedly be with the One whom we love more than life here! My passion in sharing the joy of this truth, is that Jesus could be coming for us extremely soon, as all of the prophetic scriptures are being fulfilled before our eyes and the prophesied alignments of nations are in place like never before. Israel is God's time-piece and she is under threat of attack and liquidation by Iran and her evil neighbors like never before! A major war (the war of Gog and Magog) is imminent, which may be the begining of a series of prophetic events.

One of the major prophecies concerning the Rapture of the church, was proclaimed by the Apostle Paul in Thessalonians 2:3: Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come the falling away (of Christians from the Gospel= apostasy) first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. Paul warned us in Acts 20:29 about the "savage wolves" that would "enter in among [us] not sparing the flock!" This militant falling away from biblical truth, orthodoxy and spiritual devotion to our Jesus of the Bible, is now raging and we identify those movements that are preaching a dangerously compromised mixture. Today, the "savage, ravening" wolves, have put on sheep's clothing and are deceiving millions of Christians by mixing a watered down (dumbed down if you will) "gospel" with all sorts of man-made philosophies, twisting and revising long held interpretations among many of their vast compromises. Most of the flock is falling for false messages and even demonic "doctrines" that tickle their ears and make them feel "good" (even like a "god") about themselves, rather than being convicted by the Holy Spirit and worshiping the Lord in Spirit and in Truth. The mere existence of Israel for a generation and the apocalyptical threats against Israel, are the other major sign that the Lord's return cannot be far off.

Could Israel become a greater 'cup of trembling' to the nations around her, who demonically scheme to destroy her? These BIBLICALLY prophetic indicators PROCLAIM one thing: the Lord's return has never been more imminent! MARANATHA! COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS!




"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" Luke 21:25
 

JESUS SAID THAT THERE WOULD BE 'SIGNS IN THE SKIES' BEFORE HE WOULD RETURN:
"'Blood-red' moons occurred on back-to-back years on the first day of both Passover and Sukkot seven times in 2000 years, with the eighth coming in 2014 and 2015....Three of these lunar occurrences were connected to 1492 (the Spanish Inquisition), 1948 (statehood for Israel and the War of Independence), and 1967 (the Six-Day War) — some of the most significant times in Jewish history...The significance of February 21, 2008's 'blood-red' moon .... The Temple Mount's 'blood-red' moon connection....The total solar eclipses of 2008, 2009 and 2010 fall on the 1st of Av....The Month of Av: Disaster and consolation....21 days of mourning: 17 Tammuz to 9th of Av....The 9th of Av’s history....The dates of the 9th of Av from 2008-2015....A chart of the 2014 and 2015 four 'blood-red' moons and two solar eclipses.."
Koenig's World Watch Daily an excellent Christian news site!

The Bible exhorts us to be spiritually prepared and looking joyously for His return and to 'love His appearing,' which is our 'BLESSED HOPE'! Most modern "christian movements" scoff at this important doctrine and are attempting to usher in the physical kingdom of God on earth themselves (empire building). The Bible also commands us to explain why we believe what we believe and to exhort and comfort others with the truth of the promise of His coming for us. Our ministry is founded upon God's Word, and these scriptures reveal where our passion for Jesus' impending Rapture comes from:

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. 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: 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. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.       I Thessalonians 4:15-18 

Another major sign that Jesus is coming soon, is that many who call themselves born-again Christians, are offended by the true Gospel and are offended by Bible prophecy and the prophetic meaning of these verses [their hearts are not watching for Jesus nor spiritually discerning as to the imminency of the Lord's return; blind to the current numerous signs of His coming] - many have fallen away from the basic Truth of the Gospel or choose to 'scoff' at such deep, biblical beliefs. We have articles that explore errant popular movements that the Apostle Paul prophesied would happen [a militant 'falling away from the Truth' = apostasy] before Jesus comes for us.

Looking for that Blessed Hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.  Titus 2:13-15

And now, little children, ABIDE IN HIM, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. 1 John 2:28

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the Presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?    I Thessalonians 2:19

When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.   Colossians 3:4

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.   2 Thessalonians 3:5

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing.    II Timothy 4:8

My passion is to let everyone know that anyone who desires to enter into the deepest and most profound and joyous relationship with God, is invited to ENTER INN to the wonder and glory of abiding/ dwelling/ living in Jesus Christ, through rapturous praise and worship! I am not talking about a mere style or form of worship but rather THE divinely ordained way of life, (in constant fellowship and spiritual intimacy with Jesus) based upon the Truth of God's holy Word... the blessed words of our Savior!

With greatest urgency, we proclaim:

JESUS IS COMING SOON! (although NO ONE knows the day, the hour, the month, let alone the year!)

Are you born again and filled with His Spirit?

“The New Testament example of the Christian experience is that of a personal, passionate devotion to the Person of Jesus Christ. Every other kind of so-called Christian experience is detached from the Person of Jesus. There is no regeneration - no being born again into the kingdom in which Christ lives and reigns supreme. There is only the idea that He is our pattern. In the New Testament Jesus Christ is the Savior long before He is the pattern. Today He is being portrayed as the figurehead of a religion- a mere example. He is that but He is infinitely more. He is salvation itself; He is the Gospel of God!” Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest (devotional for 11/29)

Lord, Thou hast been our Dwelling Place IN ALL GENERATIONS...He that dwelleth in the SECRET PLACE (JESUS) of the Most High, shall abide (live) under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalms 90:1, 91:1

That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him...In Whom you are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Ephesians 1:10, 2:22

How do we enter into, abide, dwell in, walk in Jesus our Holy Ark, Savior, Home and Dwelling Place?

1. Be born again by repenting of your sins (rejecting and ending your ungodly lifestyle) and receiving Jesus as your Lord and Savior as revealed in the scriptures.
2. Talk to Him alot- PRAY unceasingly- Pursue Jesus through Faith- put your complete trust in Him and His Word. Seek ye first the Kingdom. Secret: Jesus is the Kingdom! Belive in and put faith in His promises!
3. Be filled with the Spirit- you've got to wait on God and spend time before Him in prayer for this- even seek out Spirit-filled people.
4. Love, worship and adore your Heavenly Father: Jesus promises to dwell in us through the ultimate act of Faith: our sincere praise and worship! (You won't even want to do this unless you have been filled with His Holy Spirit)



But Thou art holy, O Thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Psalm 22:3

Yes, through Jesus, we have inherited all of the promises given to Israel. God abides in us mightily, when we praise, worship and adore Him. We are meant to be in and remain in, a loving preoccupation of worship of Jesus in all that we do! The Spirit of praise and worship is the same Spirit who fills us with God's Holy Presence and in Whom we must walk (walk in the Spirit Galatians 5:16) to be continually walk with and know God!

I will bless the LORD at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Psalm 34:1

But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief (Jesus) would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Matthew 24:37-44

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, (they also accepted and practiced sodomy, which is increasing in our time as well) they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed." Luke 17:26-30

"For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him." I Thessalonians 5:4,9-10

"For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage each other with these words."
I Thessalonians 4:16-18


It is not a coincidence that hundreds of ministries (though a minority) believe and interpret the majority of scriptures in exactly the same way concerning Jesus coming for His church. The Contender Ministry has a succinct and excellent article about the Rapture and is just one of those ministries with which I am in complete agreement concerning the imminent Rapture of the church.

This is not an advocacy to some high octane, extra-Biblical, mystical experience. This is a call to repent of all ritual and religiously based (man-made) ideas, and of a love that has grown cold (or has never existed in you).    We do so much in the name of Jesus, but what Jesus really wants is us! "To obey [HIM] is better than [religious] sacrifice."

Our faith in Jesus does not depend upon relics like the Shroud of Turin but this artifact has always intrigued me and bolstered my faith in Jesus. It certainly contains the detailed image of a man who was beaten nearly to death and then crucified in the same manner and with the same wounds that Jesus suffered. I think that it is highly probable that it is the burial cloth of Jesus and that science has proven even more details about this clothe that could not have been fabricated. Certainly, we must not worship or venerate any object but this artifact is the closest thing to the proof of Jesus' suffering, crucifixion and of an inexplicable burst of radiation that came from within the body that turned that cloth into a photographic negative! It has been proven to have come from the Jerusalem area and from the time of Christ. These "coincidences" add up to one thing: the supernatural.  This very well could be what Jesus' face looked like:



Merely "believing" that Jesus Christ existed and that there might be something inspired about His Word, doesn't make you a Christian and is NOT the same as putting your FAITH (TRUSTING) IN CHRIST for salvation! Knowing Jesus, trusting Him completely, walking with Him, and being FILLED with His Spirit are not options for born-again Christians but rather are the Lord's commands for ALL obedient Christians! Seek Jesus NOW with all abandon, repent of your sins, for the time is much later than you think! THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN [JESUS] IS AT HAND!

MEET AND RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST

If you haven't already done so, it is time for those who have ears to hear this message, to ENTER SPIRITUALLY INTO JESUS; GOD'S ETERNAL AND GLORIOUS ARK OF SALVATION!

How do you receive or 'accept' Jesus?
Turn to Jesus in faith (He will give you the faith if you desire to know and receive Him, sincerely tell Him that you want and need Him (as you would to a loving Father), seek Him with all of your heart (read His Word, TRUST HIM and wait upon Him), confess your sins to Him and turn away from them, invite Jesus to take over your life. Jesus WILL hear your prayer and see the true desire of your heart. He will spiritually come into you and you will know His mighty Presence is within you!


IS GOD ALMIGHTY... JESUS OUR SAVIOR, ABOUT TO COME FOR HIS BRIDE?
__________________________________________


Noah's Ark, was part of a Biblical pattern, a type and a foreshadowing of our ultimate vessel of salvation, Jesus Christ. Just as it became clear to Noah that it was time to enter into the ark in order to save his family and preserve the righteous remnant of humanity, Jesus wants us to enter into (spiritually) and abide IN HIM! Jesus is our Heavenly Father's ultimate Vessel of Salvation, for ALL who would receive Him and enter into Him! The 'rain' has already begun to fall people... Jesus our Ark is coming extremely soon and soon the door will close and only the faithful will be inside (IN CHRIST)! Jesus is inviting you to enter into intimate spiritual fellowship with Him by confessing and repenting of your sins and putting your FAITH IN HIM for salvation and for knowing and abiding IN JESUS NOW. PURSUE JESUS NOW BEFORE HE RAPTURES HIS CHURCH AND YOU WILL NOT SUFFER THE COMING HELL ON EARTH KNOWN AS THE TRIBULATION! Only those who have been born-again; know and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, will soon be caught up (Raptured) to be with Jesus.

Though it is impossible for us to set dates or to know the hour or the day of the Rapture of the church, there are Biblical prophecies being fulfilled (or about to be) and prophetic, biblical patterns that have led many prophecy teachers to believe that His return is extremely imminent, which is why we are even more motivated to tell others about Jesus - even in the face of growing persecution and hatred towards born-again Christians.

We are dedicated to glorifying Jesus Christ and spreading the joy of knowing Him, following Him, abiding in Him, and waiting patiently, longingly and expectantly for Him! We exhort all believers to seek Jesus desperately and be abandoned to Him in praise and adoration! Jesus wants us to be occupied and focused upon Him spiritually at all times. Whether Jesus comes during our lifetime or not is irrelevant to our need to dwell, wait upon and hope IN Christ alone! It is not a primary hope or preoccupation with the Rapture (or any other eschatology) or any other focus on prophecy that will save us or make us closer to Jesus. Our primary hope in every way must be in Jesus, our Blessed Hope in every circumstance and era- the only Hope for all of humanity! Our belief in His coming for us, emanates from our love and devotion to Him. Believers are commanded by Jesus to abide IN Him! That means that as born-again believers, we have the privilege to come before Him and to DWELL in His Presence (TO LIVE IN JESUS AND BE ALIVE IN HIM!) is not some "looney charismatic notion"... this is His promise and desire for us. It is otherwise known as devotion and 'worship.' Worship Jesus daily and abide IN Him... this is His will for all who have been born again. IF YOU PRESS IN BY FAITH SPIRITUALLY INTO JESUS, HE WILL ANSWER YOUR PRAYER AND FILL YOU WITH HIS HOLY SPIRIT BUT YOU MUST ABANDON YOURSELF TO HIM AND WAIT UPON, AND PATIENTLY EXPECT HIS ANSWER!

This website is written to exhort and to explain biblically why, and how we must abide IN Him if we are to be available and obedient to Jesus.

The time is short. We are in the last of the last days as indicated by numerous prophetic fulfillments. Though we don't know the day or the hour, Jesus said that we would know the season of His coming. Jesus is calling His bride to be lovingly abandoned to Him. He is coming for a pure and spotless bride who is filled with His very Essence... His Holy Ghost!

Whether your theological belief is in a "pre", "post", or "mid" -Tribulational doctrine, the scripture is perfectly clear concerning the Lord's desire for us to be expectantly waiting for Him and dwelling in His Presence. The word is crystal clear that Jesus desires us to be joyously 'looking up' spiritually to Him at all times. The abundance of scriptures and proper interpretation of them indicates that Jesus will come for us before the Great Tribulation but we should not be dogmatically argumentative about this belief. However, I will spread the joy of knowing, trusting in, waiting upon, praising and adoring Jesus. Abiding and walking IN Him is what makes us ready for His coming! Jesus calls us to oneness in Himself!

JESUS IS ABBA'S ARK! JESUS IS OUR PERFECT DWELLING PLACE!

Abba = our loving, Heavenly Father
Ark = Holy, Biblical rescue Vessel, through which (or Whom) God reveals His intent, purpose, plan & Presence to mankind)

All born-again Christians have the privilege, and are COMMANDED in His Word to ABIDE In JESUS our Dwelling Place:

...LET US GO INTO HIS TABERNACLE; (Jesus is our living Tabernacle!) LET US WORSHIP AT HIS FOOTSTOOL. ARISE, O LORD, TO YOUR RESTING-PLACE, YOU AND THE ARK (JESUS) OF YOUR STRENGTH. LET YOUR PRIESTS (true disciples) BE CLOTHED WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND LET YOUR SAINTS SHOUT FOR JOY. Psalm 132:7-9

LORD, THOU HAST BEEN OUR DWELLING PLACE IN ALL GENERATIONS Psalm 90:1

He who dwells IN the Secret Place (Jesus) of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Ps. 91:1

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I WILL COME INTO HIM and dine with him, and he with Me. Rev. 3:20

Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! AND THE KING OF GLORY SHALL COME IN[TO YOU]. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of Hosts, He is the King of Glory. Psalm 24:9,10

Abide IN Me, and I IN you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide IN the Vine; no more can you, except you abide IN Me... If you abide IN Me, and My words abide IN you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15: 4, 7

THAT THEY ALL MAY BE ONE; AS THOU FATHER, ART IN ME AND I IN THEE, THAT THEY ALSO MAY BE ONE IN US... I IN THEM, AND THOU IN ME THAT THEY MAY BE PERFECT AND IN ONE... John 17: 21,23


JESUS is the Place of safety from the rising "flood" of evil that has been rising upon mankind in these last days. Whosoever will call upon JESUS, receive, and follow Him now, will escape the approaching darkness which is prophesied in the Bible as the 'Great Tribulation'; also synonymous in the Bible as the 'Time of Jacob's Trouble'. The only escape from this present and intensifying darkness is to trust completely and solely IN Christ; to be lovingly abandoned to Him, and to ABIDE spiritually IN Him alone (dwell, make our Home within). Jesus is not only our future Deliverer, Jesus is our Holy Ark NOW! Jesus is our spiritual Home and Anchor NOW! There is great joy (rapture) for those who have given themselves completely to Jesus Christ. The ONLY way to truly be His- is to abide IN Him as Jesus commands:

ABIDE IN ME, and I IN you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide IN the Vine; no more can you, except you ABIDE IN ME... If you abide IN Me, and My words abide IN you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15:4, 7

Jesus' ultimate will for us is to be one with Him and the Father:

"That they all may be one; as thou, Father art in Me, and I IN Thee, that they also may be one IN Us: that the world may believe that Thou sent Me...I IN them, and Thou IN Me, that they may be made perfect in one... John 17:21, 23

Jesus is THE ONLY Way to God:

"I Am THE Way, THE Truth, and THE Life: no man comes to the Father, but by Me." John 14:6

We have the privilege of dwelling spiritually IN the Great Alpha and Omega- The Beginning and the End of all things. Jesus IS God:

"... Christ, IN WHOM are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge... As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so WALK IN HIM, rooted and BUILT UP IN HIM and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving... For IN HIM dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and YOU ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, who is the head of all principality and power." (Col. 2:3,6,7,9,10)

"And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is True, and we are IN HIM that is True, even His Son Jesus Christ..." 1 John 5:20

"But by HIS doing you are IN Christ Jesus who became to us wisdom from God; and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption." 1 Cor. 1:30

"IF YOU ABIDE IN ME AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, YOU WILL ASK WHAT YOU DESIRE AND IT SHALL BE DONE FOR YOU." (John 15:7)


The fourfold calling of this ministry:

1. To invite everyone to receive Jesus as Savior and Lord and to exhort all born again believers to enter into the wonderful depths and heights of Jesus; to fix our eyes on Him and abide in Him as His Word instructs us. Jesus is our Father's SECRET DWELLING PLACE for us...now and forevermore!

2. To exhort the Bride to be joyously ready, waiting, and watching for His return, as His word instructs us! Jesus is coming soon for His Bride! LIFT UP YOUR HEADS, YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH!

"THE SPIRIT AND THE BRIDE SAY, COME...AMEN. EVEN SO, COME, LORD JESUS. (Rev. 22:17)

"...SURELY I COME QUICKLY" (Rev. 22:12,20).

"LOOKING FOR THAT BLESSED HOPE, AND THE GLORIOUS APPEARING OF...OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST (Titus 2:13).

"...UNTO THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM SHALL HE APPEAR THE SECOND TIME..." (Heb.9:28)

3. To expose the dangerous apostasy now at work in the world and in most of the church. Exhorting believers to CONTEND EARNESTLY FOR THE FAITH and to reject and expose the counterfeit!

"NOW THE SPIRIT EXPRESSLY SAYS THAT IN THE LATTER TIMES, SOME WILL DEPART FROM THE FAITH, GIVING HEED TO DECEIVING SPIRITS AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS, SPEAKING LIES IN HYPOCRISY, HAVING THEIR OWN CONSCIENCE SEARED WITH A HOT IRON..." (1 Tim. 4: 1-3)

"PREACH THE WORD! BE READY IN SEASON AND OUT OF SEASON. CONVINCE, REBUKE, and EXHORT, WITH ALL LONGSUFFERING AND TEACHING. FOR THE TIME WILL COME WHEN THEY WILL NOT ENDURE SOUND DOCTRINE, BUT ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN DESIRES, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ITCHING EARS, THEY WILL HEAP UP FOR THEMSELVES TEACHERS; AND THEY WILL TURN THEIR EARS AWAY FROM THE TRUTH, AND BE TURNED ASIDE TO FABLES..." (2 Tim. 4:1-4)

4. The fourth major concentration focuses on Jesus as He was revealed as The ANGEL OF THE LORD in the Old Testament. This is also an online book and various articles written by scholars. _______________________________________

The greatest truth about Noah's Ark is that it is a prophetic picture of how Jesus will one day come to evacuate (Rapture) His Bride from this old world, just before the "floodwaters" begin to flood the whole world with God's judgment (the Great Tribulation). JESUS IS OUR ARK! God will remove His remnant!

"But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." Matthew 24:37-44

JESUS IS COMING SOON TO SNATCH (RAPTURE) ALL BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS OFF THE FACE OF THE PLANET...

THE PROMISE OF THE LORD'S COMING FOR US (THE RAPTURE) ORIGINATES IN THE BIBLE AND WAS TAUGHT BY EARLY CHURCH FATHERS AS SEPARATE FROM HIS SECOND COMING IN POWER AND GLORY, "WITH HIS SAINTS" (us)

THE HOUR IS LATE AND WE MAY SOON HEAR OUR SAVIOR'S VOICE TRUMPET FORTH FOR US...

THE FALLING AWAY (APOSTASY) FROM BIBLICAL TRUTH AND HOLINESS IN THE CHURCH IS RAMPANT...

IT IS TIME TO KNOW, LOVE AND ABIDE IN JESUS...

IS YOUR VESSEL FULL OF THE OIL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?

REMEMBER ALSO THE PARABLE OF THE TEN VIRGINS IN MATTHEW 25...

FIVE OF THOSE VIRGINS WERE READY TO MEET THE BRIDEGROOM...

AND FIVE WERE LEFT BEHIND...

THE INVITATION IS TO ALL!

DON'T BE LEFT BEHIND!

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore, comfort one another with these words." 1 Thess. 4:16-18

HE THAT DWELLETH IN THE SECRET PLACE (JESUS) OF THE MOST HIGH SHALL ABIDE UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY. (Psalm 91:1)

ABIDE IN ME AND I IN YOU...IF YOU ABIDE IN ME, AND I ABIDE IN YOU, YOU SHALL ASK WHAT YOU WILL, AND IT SHALL BE DONE UNTO YOU. (John 15:4,7)

LORD, THOU HAST BEEN OUR DWELLING PLACE IN ALL GENERATIONS. (Psalm 90:1)

...LET US GO INTO HIS TABERNACLE; (Jesus is our living Tabernacle!) LET US WORSHIP AT HIS FOOTSTOOL. ARISE, O LORD, TO YOUR RESTING-PLACE, YOU AND THE ARK (JESUS) OF YOUR STRENGTH. LET YOUR PRIESTS (true disciples) BE CLOTHED WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND LET YOUR SAINTS SHOUT FOR JOY. (Psalm 132:7-9)

Let us therefore COME BOLDLY TO THE THRONE OF GRACE, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)

"Tis Christ in us that will lift us up--He is the Light--tis only those that are alive in Him that will be caught up to meet HIM in the air...but the spiritual temple must and shall be reared, and the fullness of Christ be poured into His Body, and then we shall be caught up to meet Him...Oh the glorious temple which is now about to be reared, the Bride adorned for her Husband; and Oh what a Holy, Holy Bride she must be, to be prepared for such a glorious Bridegroom...I felt that the revelation of Jesus Christ had yet to be opened up--IT IS NOT KNOWLEDGE ABOUT GOD THAT IT CONTAINS, BUT IT IS AN ENTERING INTO GOD"
(from a prophetic vision of Margaret MacDonald circa 1830's)

This prophetic vision has been confirmed in my heart; THERE IS A MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SIMPLY KNOWING ABOUT GOD, AND TRULY KNOWING AND ABIDING IN HIM! SIMPLE "BELIEF" IS NOT ENOUGH! "Even the demons BELIEVE and tremble." (James 2:19) True followers of Jesus Christ all have the privilege of ENTERING INTO HIS GLORIOUS PRESENCE...INTO CHRIST HIMSELF!

"This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil" Hebrews 6:19
_________________________________________

WORSHIP JESUS AND SEEK HIS PRESENCE...

JESUS HAS COME TO GIVE US ABUNDANT LIFE!

JESUS LONGS FOR WORSHIPERS WHO WILL WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH!
WE HAVE THE SACRED PRIVILEGE AS CHRISTIANS TO ENTER INTO THE VERY HOLY OF HOLIES... WE ARE COMMANDED BY JESUS TO DWELL (ABIDE) IN HIM... THAT APART FROM HIM, WE CAN DO NOTHING!

THE LORD IS COMING SOON TO LITERALLY/ PHYSICALLY SNATCH (RAPTURE) HIS BRIDE OFF THE FACE OF THIS EARTH, BUT WE ALREADY HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO ENTER INTO JESUS SPIRITUALLY EVERYDAY! WE MUST ABIDE IN JESUS NOW SO THAT HE CAN FULLY ABIDE IN US! JESUS LONGS FOR YOUR LOVE AND ADORATION!

JESUS IS THE SECRET DWELLING PLACE (Ark) WHOM OUR HEAVENLY FATHER HAS PREPARED FOR US TO ENTER INTO AND ABIDE!

This site is dedicated to exhorting all who receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, to enter into the deepest possible fellowship with Him. Bible prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes, which demands that we all enter into loving, intimate relationship with Jesus. The Bible and God's Spirit, reveals how this is possible.

In God's supreme mercy and love, He sent us Jesus His Son. Jesus is THE embodiment of God's WORD (message) to mankind, and God's Provision to restore us to Himself.

There are only two types of people on this earth, those who are desperate for Jesus, and those who don't know that they are desperate for Jesus! Those who seek to know and worship Him in Spirit and in truth will find Him:

"ASK, AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU; SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND; KNOCK, AND IT SHALL BE OPENED UNTO YOU; FOR EVERYONE THAT ASKS RECEIVES; AND HE THAT SEEKS FINDS; AND TO HIM THAT KNOCKS IT SHALL BE OPENED." (Matt. 7:7,8)

JESUS is the Glory of God and He desires to have intimate fellowship with and take up residence IN YOU!

BUT AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, TO THEM GAVE HE THE POWER TO BECOME SONS OF GOD... ( John 1:12)

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. 1 John 3:1-3

If you've never invited Jesus into your life nor repented of your sins, turn to Jesus NOW, and ask Him to forgive you of ALL of your sins and take up residence in you! Jesus knows about ALL of your secret sins and He still loves you! He doesn't accept your sin, but He does want you, no matter what you've done! Nothing is hidden to Jesus. His loving kindness and mercy is available to the worst of sinners, if you repent!

If you invited Him in, you now have the privilege of abiding IN Christ. Jesus IS our Peace, and our promised SECRET Dwelling Place:

"... Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge... As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so WALK IN HIM, rooted and BUILT UP IN HIM and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving... For IN HIM dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and YOU ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, who is the head of all principality and power."
(Col. 2:3,6,7,9,10)
