Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."
With a new look
When God talked to me about this I had to think. I have been writing, and growing in my own knowledge of God and His word, for over 32 years. Some of you have been on my emailing list for close to that long—well, since 1994 at least—before then I was not on the Internet. But, how many of you have grown with what I have been writing? See, the main reason that I am writing, the main reason I am in the ministry of serving God and you, is to get you ready for the rapture.
​
As some of you know, there is this issue with the rapture; some say it is before the tribulation starts, some say it is in the middle of those last seven years, and some say it is at the end. Personally, I believe that the rapture—the catching away of the true believers—is before the seven last years. Those last seven last will be the hardest years that anyone could imagine and none would want to live through, those years have not come yet, thank God.
​
Anyway, when I started my Internet ministry I was not teaching at a child’s level because I had already been in the ministry for quite some time. But many of you are still looking for preaching at a child’s level. Now, I don’t mean to be cruel but that’s just what I see, in the Spirit. A child looks for milk and as long as you have been with Jesus you should be up to the strong meat of the word.
“By now you should have been teachers, but once again you need to be taught the simplest things about what God has said. You need milk instead of solid food,” (Hebrews 5:12 Contemporary English Version).
The milk includes the simple things like baptisms and redemption from sin (the new birth), movies (what ratings to watch and not), TV, drinking, smoking, pre-marital sex.
​
There are, at least, three baptisms that matter today; there is the baptism into the name of Jesus—the new birth—what people have called being saved, there is the baptism in water as an outward expression of repentance of sin and a testimony to others of your dedication to Jesus and then there is the baptism in the Holy Spirit which gives you the ability to speak in unlearned tongues. Three baptisms, three transactions.
​
Once you are born again, had all three of these baptisms, you are not the same old man or woman (sinner) anymore (you are not a broken pot anymore); so, why should you speak of yourself as if you are a sinner and broken anymore? There’s nothing in the Bible, the way it was originally written, to back up those bogus claims.
​
Movies and TV, that’s between you and God; don’t judge others. Drinking and smoking, once won’t hurt but watch out for addictions. I would just stay away from them all together, but that’s just me. Pre-marital sex is like stealing money; you just had to have it but didn’t use patience and faith to go through the right channels; and now you are in a heap of trouble…
“You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures” (James 4:2-3 New International Version).
I want, more than ever, to write to you as if writing to fully mature adult disciples of Jesus, the Christ, true rapture ready Christians; and have you write back. And let’s get others ready for the rapture as we all realize that we are all called to the ministry.
“All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:” (2 Corinthians 5:18 New International Version).
