The Prophetic Picture 2011
The day is extremely near that to speak of homosexuality as sin will be to invite imprisonment and dark persecution. To call abortion murder will be an invitation to lose your job or even your life. People that dress Godly are already looked upon with scorn. If you do not run to the same excess of pleasure as the worldly crowd, you are old-fashioned and out of step. The message in maybe 90 percent of churches is “Free Grace” exactly as you would hear at Joel Osteen’s club. Just believe on Jesus, that He is the Son Of God, and you have Him, eternal security, and heaven with no strings attached. It is cheap grace that is exactly what the Bible calls “Apostasy.” But Jesus 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: 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). It’s time to know that Jesus Christ is at the very hour of His return and He is coming for a transformed Bride. Listen to the Apostle Paul describe that Bride. “That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish” (Ephesians 5:26-27). It is not hard to understand such pure language.
NEXT WEEK: “Persecution Of Christians Worldwide” – it is time for a Holy Ghost revival!

You have the picture indeed. So very many are going to miss out on the greatest blessing in 2000 years because they did not heed the call:
“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5

I don’t believe in “easy believism”, but I don’t believe in “hard believism” either. Salvation is by belief alone, but how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? One MUST believe the right thing… the Full Gospel. If a person sincerely believes the right thing, their life will change II Cor. 5:17.

Well, I am a very politically incorrect person. Abortion is murder and homosexuality is an abomination. I don’t have any problem telling people that Jesus Christ is L-rd and if it means my head, they can have it. It never done me any good anyway.
Great article, keep’em coming.

I read in scripture words like,strive,overcome,endureth,salvation with fear and trembling…ect
I have been studing the crucifition slowly and in depth for a couple of weeks now and let me tell you something,we as a church had better wake up because. I see more effort put in to a birthday party or a ballgame than what i see in gathering at the House of God.
Sunday Morning good and by Sunday Night where is everyone and you know Wednesday Night people are just to tired,remember that when Jesus lookes you in the face and reads your Heart, because the last time i read being “lukewarm” it will get you no where.
lord help us as a people that we may be counted worthy to stand before the Son Of Man.

Bro. Chambers: I laughed at your statement that upon Salvation the Holy Spirit becomes a resident, but when He really gets control of your life He becomes President. Resident vs. President. That is an amusing way of describing a vital truth of our Christian walk. Oh, how we need God’s power!
My question today has to do with something else you said during the program. You mentioned that you weren’t sure if a revival would occur before or after the Rapture. Here is the question: Will any of the people left on the earth after the rapture still have a chance at attaining the promise of eternal life?
If possible, please send me the message “What did the chicken see (or hear)?” Thank you.

Right on target, Pastor Joseph.
Did you notice the lack of response to the “hate crimes” and repeal of “Don’t ask, don’t tell” legislation, by all the big name pastors like Joel Olsteen, Rick Warren, and even Franklin Graham? Worse than this, where were most of the rest of those who call themselves Christians?
Lynwood Sibley
its coming close Saints to a big happening of some sorts and we are privy to
going to our saviour Jesus. This world is going to get worse before it gets better
and things are happening fast, If we as the Saints of God walk in a upright manner
we will be O/K amd if not why take the chance. Can sins (breaking the Law) be
forgiven. If we confess at the cross with a heart of repentance he will forgive
as we fail because our flesh is ADAMIC but our spirit is not if we are born again
so lets keep our spirit pure and let the flesh be guided by the Holy Spirit testify
to ours

I’m afraid if you read your Bible Jesus says to the Jews who ask Him what they must do to receive eternal life & He says to them “Believe on the Son & in the One who sent & you have eternal life”John 6:40 & again in John 6:29 Jesus says “This is the work of God that you believe in Him who He has sent”
There is no such thing as cheap Grace it cost the Father His Son. Where do you get cheap grace from?
What you fail to understand is that Jesus has completed the work of salvation & neither you nor I nor any man can add to it. The work of salvation is finished & yes you call Jesus a liar as He Himself states that in order to receive that salvation we have to believe (put our trust in)the Son & the One who sent Him & salvation is ours. What according to your gospel secures our salvation?
Yours is a gospel of Grace + works & the works kill the grace & is therefore a false Gospel.
Salvation is a gift, do I have to earn this gift? How much work is sufficient? I thank God that He has accomplished it on my behalf & yes all I have to do is believe, praise His name for He is a great & a wonderful God a God of Grace who treats me not as I
deserve but with unequaled mercy Hallelujah.
Dear Mike,
Believing on Jesus Christ is not a mind game, but a “Born Again” experience. The Holy Spirit convicts the sinner and then transforms that sinner to the family of God. Jesus made it plain that the new creature is totally changed. Yes it is a work of grace, but it is
the most life changing moment of human existance. There is a multitude in our churches that are walking after the flesh and claiming salvation. Apostle Paul clarified this matter in Romans. “Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” (Romans 8:12-14)

They walk after the flesh because they are babes in Christ & have not moved on to maturity and Paul chastises the Corinthian believers for being guilty of the very same thing. He is still however writing to believers. You see we all walk after the flesh to some degree or we would all be without sin. Yes we are ALL called to be Holy, to put to death the old nature, but it will only be a complete reality when we put on that which is incorruptible. However I have already received eternal life, but not yet, it will become a reality when I meet with my Redeemer either in the air at the rapture or when He calls me home. My works will have no bearing on this outcome, for if they do it is no longer Grace & it would mean that God would in effect take back the gift He has given me which cannot be. I will however be judged for my works & receive a reward or suffer loss as Paul teaches in his letter to the Corinthians. The scriptures clearly teach that we ought to please our God by abiding in Him, the reality is that most of us do not. Our love is demonstrated to the degree that we do abide. The reality is that our love is weak for we do not love the Lord our God with all our hearts our souls & with all our strength. But this is no surprise to Him for He knows our weaknesses & for this reason He sent His Son in order that HE MAY DELIVER US.

Dear Pastor Chambers, mores sources of apostasy
I wanted to remind those who are still sexually active outside of marriage that this is a sin too, should a homosexual be unable to stop then that person may consider Mat 19:12 and become a eunuch.
Why not; this action would have saved countless children from the “fathers” of the church that would not even condem them until the media ripped into them. Better to enter Heaven less an offending part. I know of a number of preachers that do not believe our Lord when he spoke of eunuchs.
Then the words of the Lord about Sodom in Luke 17:28 whoops, no he does not mention homosexuality here, he speaks to us about Lots day, they were buying and selling and planting and building.
That sure sounds like a lot of churches and business’s and governments to me. The original church ( of James) was selling off their possesions and sharing with other Christians. DO WE?
Ever tried to get other Christians to meet with you outside of the City early on the first day of the week (like Acts)to pray to have fellowship, to worship God? HAVE ANY OF US? ( if you don’t buy this, then why did our Lord Jesus go outside of the city all the time?)
Father Abraham lead us to Bethel (Todays Churches) but we were to journey on with him to Hebron (fellowship A.K.A. bricks fitted together without mortar, the stones that would cry out and each stone a part of the body)) to complete our journey, the individual members knowing their function in the body of Jesus the Christ our Lord and saviour. WHAT ARE YOU? It is important to know what component we are in the function of the body of Christ, is this a primary source of apostasy?
God Bless my Christian Bretheren

Mike Roodt. You are right. So many people claim they can loose their salvation, but you never
hear one of them actually say they lost it (look at Jimmy Swaggert). Matthew Ch 5 throu 7 doctrinally applies in the millenial reign. The kingdom of Heaven applies before the cross, and
during the tribulation as Jesus sets up his kindom AT THE SECOND ADVENT. It is a faith and works situation. In the church age you have eternal life. You are sealed until the day of redemption.
That is Faith plus nothing. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CAN LOSE THEIR SLAVATION. IT IS A FAITH AND WORKS
SITUATION. The Tribualation is one.
BUT DURING THE CHURCH AGE, IF YOU LIVE AFTER THE FLESH, YOU SHALL DIE. GOD WILL PUT UP WITH YOU
FOR SO LONG, HE WILL EVENTUALLY KILL YOU. THAT IS WHY SATAN IS AN ACUSER OF THE BREATHREN. JESUS IS THE INTERCESOR. THOSE WHO SAY YOU CAN LOSE SALVATION DURING THE CHURCH AGE, MAKES THE SCRIPTURES CONFLICT WITH ONE ANOTHER WITH MORE DIFFICULT PASSAGES LIKE MATTHEW 24, 25, HEWBREWS 3,6, 10, ACTS (ACTS IS TRANSITIONAL), JAMES (WRITTEN TO THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL), REVALTIONS (WRITTEN TO THE CHURCH AGE, TRIBULATION SAINTS. MILLENIAL REIGN). IF ONE CAN NOT RIGHTLY DIVIDE THE WORD, HE WILL DOCTRINALY CHOKE HIMSELF ON EPH 4, ROMANS 10 ETC. IN CHRIST, TIM
