THE WATCHING AND READY SAINTS WILL SOON BE GONE! (10 LIES SATAN TELLS PEOPLE)
THERE IS A MULTITUDE OF RELIGIOUS PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN MISLED AND WILL BE LEFT WHEN THE RAPTURE OCCURS. Satan is in the business of lying and He has told religious lies since the time of his fall in the beginning. He told Adam and Eve a religious lie, “Ye shall not surely die,” but they did. Ask the majority of the people you know that claim they are ready for the Rapture and they will tell you one of his false ideas.
Let me list a few of the lies that are everywhere among the church people and the world also.
1. God automatically forgives your future sin after you are saved.
2. Nobody can live holy and God doesn’t expect it anyway.
3. I was saved as a child so I am still saved even though I’m not living right now.
4. The mercy of God is too great for anybody to be left.
5. Just believe that you are saved and ready and you are ready.
6. The Rapture is a hoax, you’ve got plenty of time.
7. A homosexual will go in the Rapture if they believed as a child.
8. The Rapture is a lie because God wants us to take dominion of the earth.
9. The Book of Revelation is a Book of symbols. It isn’t literal.
10. God does not look on the outside. All He sees is your heart.
Everyone of these lies is fooling a great company of people. There is not one Scripture to support one of them.
Apostle Peter left no room for people to claim Christ after they had gone back to the pig pen of sin. “While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.” (II Peter 2: 19-22) You have got to quit believing the lies out there among church people.
When the Son of God ascended, angels gave the message to over 500 people that He would return. What is so beautiful is how He would return just like He left. “And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” (Acts 1:9-11) The angels actually said, “In like manner”.
The Son of God promised that He would come back to get us. Every truth in the Bible fits the glorious Rapture before the “Great Tribulation”. Here are the Lord’s words: “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (Saint John 14:1-3) He’s coming again and we are leaving.

This was a great summation of the lies the devil has put out there which most of the chutch has swallowed.
Another thing the devil does is to set his hook with a part of the truth to catch his victim and then to reel him or her in. His first lie to humankind was exactly that.
He told Eve: 1) You won’t die (Genesis 3:4) which was a big lie, and 2) You will be as gods, knowing good and evil (King James Version used here). That second thing was true in that it gave Eve, then Adam, then ultimately all of us the knowledge of what Good and evil is.
Satan also left something out – that from that point on we human bengs would generally choose evil. In fact, it seems very much hardwired into our makeup. This is a big lie of omission on the devil’s part.
Most of the church operates the same way. They will proclaim God as a God of love and leave out that he also a God of Justice. People just are suckers for buying into half-truths. Satan knows it and has exploited this weakness right from the fall with spectacular success.
Just recently, we watched the leader of this nation tell us he believes in Jesus and that he died to save us from our sins, and yet he also thinks homosexual marriage is okay. Does this modus operandi now sound awfully familiar?
When all is said and done, the Bible, taken in its entirety, is where a real Christian should base his or her beliefs and nowhere else.

*Amen*!!! We’re going Home soon!! Let me rephrase that to say: those who are abiding in Him, who are living holy lives are going home soon. May we be ever mindful of Luke 21:36 to be watching and praying always to escape (all the hellish, horrible times of the Tribulation) and to stand before the Son of Man!!
No doubt about it, when the current p(R)esident in office “okays” gay marriages, then LUKE 17 is here — and we are to lift up our heads & rejoice, because soon we are going to be lifted to the clouds to meet Jesus in the air. All is looking mighty good for this to possibly happen this year even! We will keep on abounding in the Lord’s work UNTIL….
RJ
Oh! and I forgot to mention that I definitely agree with all your “10 lies” listed that satan tells people about the rapture, Bro. Joseph! Interesting that you brought to our attention that he has forever told “RELIGIOUS” lies!! How true.
Don’t you think that he (satan) will also be in the business of telling even far, greater lies AFTER the rapture…. so that people may believe him & be in a false sense of “comfort” in thinking they did not miss the rapture? Though, the foolish virgins will KNOW what really happened. And I’ve got to believe the AntiChrist to be will KNOW as well — though like his father the devil, he will spout just any lie that people *want to believe* to get their minds off what really happened.

WHO IS SAVED, AND WHO ISNT
Dear Joe Chambers,
All folks that truly come to Christ, and really accept him, and truly repent, and ask for forgiveness will receive the Holy Spirit, and will be saved forever. When the rapture comes, all saints even the weakest ones will go up in the rapture. Here is an example. Before Sodom was bombed, God sent angels to get Lot (one of the weakest worldly living saints ever) get Lot out of Sodom before it blasted away. Yes, God will get out all the saints including the weakest worldly living ones, but he will have to drag them off this planet before the rapture, just as the Angels had to drag Lot and his family out of Sodom. Yes the weak saints will get to Heaven but they will lose a lot of rewards at the Bema Judgement seat Of Christ. Lot lost everything he had except is 2 daughters. His life was very messy. Most of the Christians have messy lives, they will get to Heaven but will loses crowns and rewards. they will be the PO FOLKS IN HEAVEN. While those who served Christ well will get lots of rewards, and big houses. The best will receive the biggest crowns too. Another example of weak Christians is the PRODIGAL SON. He actually got down to the pig pen, and got hungry and wanted to eat what the pigs were eating. Yes there are indeed some Weak Christians in a life of sin, but they will eventually come back to God. It is very had to break drug addictions, cigarette addictions, and alcohol addictions. These people are going through difficult times. Only God can cure that. If these people haven’t got their problems solvved by the time of the rapture, they lose rewards at the Bema Seat Judgement of Christ. So id you have a sin problem now, seek God’s help now to get it cured, so you can get better rewards in Heaven. Dont lose the crown. Pretty soon God IS GOING TO HAVE TO DRAG US OUT OF THIS MODERN DAY SODOM SOCIETY JUST LIKE HE DRAGGED LOT OUT OF SODOM, BEFORE HE BURNS OUR CITIES. Some weak saints will have to be dragged out KICKING & SREAMING. When God drags us out at rapture with some of the weaker siant kicking and screaming all our worldly goods will be lost, as Lot lost his possessions. The stuff let behind could be burned with fire. THAT IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO LAY UP TREASURES IN HEAVEN WHIC H THE FIRES CANNOT BURN. That is why it is important for the weak and worldly saints to shape up, so that they have good rewards in haven instead of being PO FOLKS THERE.
What about folks who were LEFT BEHIND AT THE RAPTURE? These folks NEVER WERE REALLY SAVED IN THE FIRST PLACE. BECAUSE THE NEVER REALLY ACCEPTED CHRIST. About 80% to 90% of the Americans CLAIM TO BE CHRISTIANS. But not nearly that many has been saved. When I asked My uncle Dick what percentage of is United Methodist congregation was saved, and what percentage was not saved. He said he thought that 75% was unsaved, and that only 25% was saved. If you want to see what percentage of the American people are really saved Christians and what is unsaved, look at the BARNA RESEARCH GROUP POLL NUMBERS. They asked if people BELIEVED IN VIRGIN BIRTH OF JESUS, RESURRECTION OF JESUS, RESURRECTION OF SAINTS, RAPTURE, IS THE BIBLE THE PURE WORD OF GOD?, ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF HELL, OR ABOUT HEAVEN. ABOUT DIVINITY OF JESUS. The results of the polls is that only 10% of the people answered positively on those questions. SO it might be that only 10% OF ALL AMERICANS ARE TRULY SAVED CHRISTIANS. That would be about 30’000’000 at the Rapture. If Dick is correct, then maybe 25% of the Americans are saved and would go up at the rapture. That would be about 75’000’000 to 80’000’000 at the Rapture. Most people in the CHUCHIANITY (RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY) ARE NOT SAVED! Even some GOOD LIVING DEDICATED CHURCH MEMBERS OR LEADERS THAT YOU WOULD THINK ARE THE BEST CHRISTIANS, MAY VERY WELL BE LEFT BEHIND AT THE RAPTURE BECAUSE THE DID NOT TRULY BELIEVE IN JESUS, while some of the WEAKEST FOLKS THAT HAVE ACCEPTED JESUS BUT HAVE LOUSY PRODIGAL LIVES THAT YOU WOULD THINK WERE NOT REAL CHRISTIANS, WILL GO MISSING AT THE RAPTURE.
The thing that decides whether you go up in the rapture DID YOU REALLY MAKE THE DECISION TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIER AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS AT THAT TIME? If you have you go up in the rapture. If you did not accept Jesus, you will be left behind to face brutal tribulation.
Being highly upright and religious wont get you to heaven. ACCEPT JESUS NOW.
Sincerely,
Keith Black

Who believes, When you are in the LORD’S hand it’s not forever, How can you say
that someone is not saved Tomorrow, when they have ask forgivness of their sins,
Acording to your message, we need to get saved fresh ever day, Because you are a sinner
That sinful nature is not with you anymore, Acording to the WORD of GOD you have a wicked
heart, Who can know it, I guess that dont apply to this Pastor,
Something smelly someplace
Pastor would you say the sin unto death, The person was living a holy life,
My Kings James Bible says he was turned over to the Devil, For the destruction
of the flesh, So the SOLE would be saved.
You are a gifted speaker, However some things you teach, Dont fit Scripture
Jimmy Swagert was pentocistal, He preached hard sermonds, They didn’t apply to him.

Great Post. I add this Blog to my bookmarks.

Your message, Sir, has to be true!
My Christianity has NEVER, EVER been under such attack… I sincerely believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is on His way for us, His sheep… I am 82 and into The Word of God for about 43 years.. I KNOW this in my spirit! NOT in my intellect.
I am in good health and take no medications.. so MY mind is NOT playing tricks on me….
We MUST ”””pray””’ for the TBN Network and the 700 Club…..ALL they talk about on both IS $$$$ prosperity, healings and miracles….NOT that much about SALVATIONS and Jesus Christ…” Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof.”. IT is NOT just ‘another day’ for miracles and money and celebrity guests!!!
Lord Jesus Christ HELP us, Lord!

When will you guys learn that the Gospels are MUCH more important than trying read the mind of God by playing at reading tea leaves with the Book of Revelation? It is NOT your place to tell God what He will do to bring an end to the age.
I’m sure you understand that your millinarianism, has more than a shade of interest in trying to unravel the riddle of the End.
Jesus told us to NOT bother with trying to learn the timetable: “Leave tomorrow’s problems for tomorrow; today has enough problems of its onw.”
Therefore, Joseph’s silly ruminations go against something Jesus taught. Attemptint to decipher the writings of St John the Apostle – or “John the Revelator” as Joseph persists in calling him – are contradicted by the very Savior Joseph claims to serve.
The world will be a better place if you brought your love of Christ to those who don’t know him any longer because of political, educative and media hyenas trying to make hatred of God the banner of revolution against all that God loves.
Do you know the excesses of the French Revolution? They will be nothing compared to the revolution in the making.
Pray that you will be strong until the ONLY “end of the world” you have to worry about which is the day you die.

Dear Brother Joseph,
I can not help but to believe the ’10 lies’ of Satan I also believe that many believe that the books of Peter should not of been included. There’s a strong danger in taking our God for granted, I’ve witnessed (knowing some were Saved) where the Lord mercifully took ‘them’ Home early where some of ‘them’ had some very trying events in their lives and would not totally give it to the Lord and continue on w/life trusting in Him. Yes, when we get Home ‘they’ might not be there (I pray this not the case) but do strongly believe that true Christians (Born again) are secure in Him.
There’s a fellow in Texas has some interesting beliefs of the book of Revelation (4 horseman etc) that deserves some pondering but ‘he’ also seems wrong on other issues (timing of our blessed hope along w/other things) which is very troubling and believe that a lot of this endtime non-sense is propaganda of the ‘club of Rome’! It’s very clear that we (Church) returns w/Jesus Christ and truly believe that Daniels 70th week might seem like minuets to maybe a very few hours to us being on His time. Theres a lot of crafty lies being presented these days (not from you folk’s) to confuse ‘us’ truly contend to His commission. I do know that many of those in the Muslim nations, Asia and Africa are coming to the Lord in masses, soon ‘that’ last person will come Home and the blessed hope event almost could of happened yesterday and when we’re gone everything will go south. ‘They’ have built the ‘camps’ around this nation for ‘those’ that found Him, the new agers are sure that the aliens will take the non compliant away. Ready to go Home, the hatred for us here in this nation is really getting bad and will only get worse, if it’s His will, I pray that we will be strong and obedient as many of those before us.
Note; I can see where the Church might me here a while longer, more so it seems that ‘it’ might be any moment, the destruction alone being done to the earth by the elites is huge!
whisper a prayer for my wife, we just learned of some serious physical problems!
God bless
and keep
you all!

So according to you Christ’s death and resurrection were not sufficient for salvation. How many times must Christ be crucified for our sins. Contrary to what you say none of us can live holy lives while in this earthly body because we are forgiven sinners. We still sin. I know we must strive to live for Christ daily, and strive to live holy lives, but we will not be perfect until we are with our Lord and Savior one day. How do you explain Hebrews 7:25-27 “Wherefore he is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever livieth to make intercession for them. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s; FOR THIS HE DID ONCE, WHEN HE OFFERED UP HIMSELF.” or Hebrews 9:11-12 “But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered once into the holy place, having retained eternal redemption for us.” The way I read these verses Christ died once for our sins and if we believe and ask for His forgiveness we become His and remain His forever. John 10:29 “My Father which gave them me, he is greater than all, and no man is able to pluck them out of ny Father’s hand.” The way you tell it that a man can lose his salvation by sinning but Jesus said no man could pluck us out of His Father’s hand. I know I am a sinner saved by grace and it causes me great pain to know I sin every day, but I know my God has saved me for eternity. Thank God Jesus died for my sins and I am sealed by the Holy Ghost and nothing can or no one can take that from me.

In my opinion, there is no part of the Bible “more important” than another. In my initial comment I said that it has to be taken in its entirety, not in a “grab bag” manner that people too often use to justify their own beliefs while omitting parts that don’t fit.
The Gospels and Book of Acts are certainly important and to one beginning to study the Bible, they are the best places to start. But to get the whole picture one must read the whole Bible. Getting to Seattle in Washington State from New York City, New York, would be pretty difficult if you decided only the part of the map showing the East Coast was important and ignored the rest of it.
Regarding Prophecy, Jesus thought it was important enough to make it the subject of his last sermon on Mount Olivet in the week of his crucifixion. He absolutely did not want us to set dates (Acts 1:7) , but he did want us to “Watch” (Mark 13:33-37; Luke 21:36) and gave us the signs to indicate that his return was near. In Luke 21:28, Jesus tells us when these things he spoke of “begin” to come to pass, then to look up because our redemption will then be near.
To those who read and study the Book of Revelation, “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things that are written therein: for the time is at hand.” (Revelation 1:3)
Sounds to me Jesus really does want us to study prophecy and the Book of Revelation after all!
This is exactly what Pastor Joseph and many of us are doing, not to dictate to God how to run things, but to try to understand HOW the last days will play out so we can be ready when he calls. It’s all part of following Jesus’ admonition to “Watch.”
So, I think I’ll just keep watching, but if some people choose not to, that’s up to them.

Our Savior was the first of the ‘firstfruits’ ,, those who don’t love their life more than God
and will be gahered first – at the Judgement seat of Christ.
They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.
IT’S VERY CLEAR HERE, THAT THE FIRST RESSURECTION IS AFTER THE GREAT TRIBULATION.
AND THE MARTYRS WILL BE THESE PEOPLE – THOSE WHO WERE WILLING TO LAY DOWN THEIR LIFE FOR THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST “AND” THE TRUE WORD OF GOD .. ( WHO KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS )
The “church” does not.
If believers are ready for Tribulation – rest assured they’re ready for a rapture (escape from it) although this scripture is only speaking of the DEAD in Christ. The living will be caught up with the rest of the dead at the SECOND resurrection – the Great White Throne Judgement – and face the lake of fire if they are not ‘saved’ by the blood of the Lamb.
If we all continue to look for escape to save our flesh ,, we’re not ready for anything.
TIM S
HOW CAN A MAN LOOSE HIS SALVATION? It is funny, people who preach they can loose salvation, I never heard of anyone who claimed they lost his.
Dear Tim,
You are right. You cannot lose your salvation, but many have left it. The only way anyone has ever backslide is if they turned back to sin and the world.

Brother Joseph, your teaching for today is a very good and pertinent reason why the whole of the Body of Christ should get back to and read the King James Aurthorized Bible, that one, and that one “ONLY”.
That Bible is the only one satan attacks and those who preach and teach from it, I know full well. The other versions are so full of lies and deceptions satan does not need to bother with those, he is instrumental in the writing them. his greatest achivement so far is the N.I.V, and almost every church in this country has a copy and teaches from it.
Just last Saturday I was out with my wife witnessing, and was approached by a man in is fifties, he was intrigued by my T-shirt, the lake of fire was pictured on the back, and a coffin on the front. We started talking, I asked him which bible he used, he said, the niv, I pointed out to him its errors and its anti to God, he almost took my head off, he said it still is the word of God, I just walked away.
That has happened many times to me, people will defend satans book and vertually disregard God Word, saying it is to difficult to read, the niv is easier. God cannot bless what He has not ordained.
Revelation chapter 22 verses 18 and 19, We must NOT ADD to nor TAKE AWAY from His Word. I want my name that is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life to remain there.
Mario
I honestly believe you are doing a great job, but your first point misses the mark, once you are truly save you dont lose your salvation, I agree you can walk away, this is where the point comes about the Great Fall away. But God is not an indian giver that gives and takes whenever He pleases. The Bible is clear about this point when it says “Rom 6:1For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.” If we deny that, we make Christ a liar. Christ died once unto sin so His blood will forgive, cover, wash away our sins. God cannot deny Himself.
Our sins are forgiven, present, past and future, we cannot lose our Salvation, we can walk away from our salvation.
Sean
Sorry my reply to Ed wasn’t found worthy of inclusion, Joseph.

If the rapture happens at least 7 years before the physical return of Jesus, why does Jesus in John’s Gospel use the expression “last day” 5 different times about being raised? How can “the last day” be construed as happening 7 years before the real last day?
John 6:39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
John 6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
John 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 11:24 Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

I believe holy, as some of you good CRhistian folks on here have posted – saved by the blood of Christ is forever. IT is a CAtholic and Church of Christ teaching And a false one, that we have to continue to be saved over and over and over again. When one truly repents – and that doesnt mean remembering every sin we commit(and asking forgiveness for each and everyone – because we sometimes don’t realize what a sin is when we have done them), but when we come to Jesus and make the conscious decision to be his child, then yes we are saved. Some of us do this when we are a child. We are sealed then with the holy spirit. Sealed means PERMENANT!!! And we are forever in Jesus’s hand. It is a lie of satan, that he wants us to believe, to play games with our heads, so we can’t focus on Gods work, to forever be worried on if we are saved or not. Pastor Chambers sins every day. He may not commit big sins, but he sins, just as I do. It may be a word, a thought, etc. Jesus said all sins are equal in Gods eyes and that to think it is the same as to do it. I think more badstuff than I do. I realize later it was wrong and I always ask for forgiveness when I pray, not to be saved all over again, but to bring myself back into a good relationship with God the Father. When you are saved, you are adopted into the body/family of God. In biblical times, an adoption was more permanent than a birth. Do you think God was give up a child because they did something wrong? Do you give up your kids because they do something they are not suppose to? Look at the parable of the lost prodigal son. Did the father give him up as a child? No, he welcomed and blessed him when he came back(Repented). Now I believe our blessings and rewards are greater when we live a godly life, but to say once we are saved we will never sin, and that if we do we are no longer saved until we repent again, is a lie of satan and spewed out by the catholic church. You can not save yourself – by works you are not saved so that no one can boast, but by the grace of GOD, it is a gift. A gift must be accepted – we ask Jeus to be our lord and savior, and by our faith(what is in our hearts) he grants us the gift of eternal life. PLEASE PLEASE people do not doubt your salvation. We all are filthy sinners and to believe you are not, just because you are saved, makes you prideful. We are forgiven sinners when we are saved, not perfect. We receive a perfect body/spirit in heaven with our Lord. I do not know the part about giving up your salvation – I think too that is a lie. But not sure. I have sinned much in my life, but always known God is lord and Jesus is my savior, and his one true son, sacrificed for me. I would hate to think Heaven is going to be empty because all born again saints committed a sin right before they died. Think about it people – you just repented. You feel all worthy and holy again, right with God and then some guy cuts you off in traffic – you yell obscenities at him-throw him the finger and poof, you get wiped out by an 18wheeler. OR, you are happy at home, newly revitalized by a recent prayer of forgiveness and all of a sudden your wife/husband pisses you off. You don’t hit them, lord forbid, but you think about smacking them… that’s not nice but it could happen, but suddenly you are seized by a heartattack and literally kill over. Are you going to heaven or hell? Think about it.
pastor Beard
17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
