Sign of the End Times

I was reading today that President Obama is pushing for the United Nations to approve a resolution by the Palestinian Authority to recognize their right to independence to pre-1967 borders.  This basically "kicks" Israel out of their country and with no ability to protect themselves.

Middle East Quartet meeting 'excellent', says U.S. official

http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/middle-east-quartet-meeting-excellent-says-u-s-official-1.372796/

Representatives of the U.S., Russia, the EU and the UN dined in Washington and discussed renewing direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, but made no public statement.

The United States has ALWAYS backed Israel, until now.  Obama has been negotiating with Russia and the EU to get this resolution passed by September.

Folks, this is a sign of the End Times!  The Bible clearly states that in the last days, the "whole world" will come against Israel.  You can see the final battle plans taking shape right now, if this goes through.

Israel WILL NOT bow to the UN resolution and will fight for its survival. The entire world always believed the US would back Israel.  Until now.

Obama has even said he would support the Palestinians in a "resistance" movement if this resolution is approved (i.e. fight AGAINST Israel).

If you do not know Jesus as your Savior, your time is running out.

If you do not know Jesus as your Savior, you will be left behind when the  Believers are removed prior to the "battle" taking place and all of the turmoil that will go with it.

Look at the economy of the "world" right now.  It is in shambles.  Just like the Bible predicted it would be.  Look at the immorality running rampant in the "world" today...just like the Bible said it would be.

Look at the "promotion" of homosexuality in the "world" today...just like the Bible said it would be.

What makes you think the Bible would be "wrong" in this area?  It's not wrong... It is right on target.

If you do not know Jesus as your Savior, all you have to do is get your Bible and read Romans 10:9-10 "If you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in  your heart that God raised him from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED.  For with the heart man believes unto righteousness and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation."

If you prayed that prayer, email at Brotherbob@ftfm.org and I will send you some information absolutely free of charge.  I will even pay the postage on it.  If you need more information, go to our website at www.ftfm.org and browse around.

Time is running out..."Get Right, or get Left."

The Evidence You Cannot See

Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now, Faith is the substance of the things you hope for and the evidence of the things you cannot see."  What I want to share briefly is the EVIDENCE of the things you cannot see.

As I was praying this morning, the Lord showed me how this scripture works IN our favor!  You see, I know 1 John 5:14-15 states, "If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know He hears us, then we know we receive the petitions we desired of Him."  Jesus taught in Mark 11:22-24 that we were to "have Faith in God....believe you receive the things you ask for as you pray, and you shall receive them."

Ok, look at like this (this what the Lord showed me this morning).  Are you saved?  (yes).  How do you know?  I know because Romans 10:9 says "Whosoever shall confess with his mouth and believe with his heart that God raised Jesus from the dead shall be saved."  "OK" the Lord said, "but why do you believe this?"  "Because it's in your Word and your Word is true, John 17:17" I responded.  He said, "That's right, but HOW do you know you are saved?"  I said, "I believe by Faith."  That is when He said this, "So, because you seen it in my Word and prayed the scripture and BELIEVED it when you prayed it...nobody can talk you out of it?"  I replied with, "That is exactly right."  His response was, "When did you receive it?"  (The moment I prayed).  "When will you see the manifestation of it?" he asked.  "Well" I replied, "when I get to Heaven...but it is also evident on this earth in my daily life."

"So," the Lord said, "you believed you received it when you prayed...and got it.  But you will not see the actual manifestation of it until later...but yet, you KNOW you got it and the benefits of it are being seen in your life right now."

Now, I may have been born at night...but not last night!  The Light came on!  I SEE what He was talking about.  "And about healing,"  He continued, "When did you receive your healing?"  "That's easy," I answered, "You took care of that at Cavalry.  By your stripes, we WERE healed!  And, if we WERE healed, that means we ARE healed."  

"So," the Lord said, "You believe you receive your healing as soon as pray for it?" "That's correct," I said.  "But, what about the symptoms of the sickness that linger on your body for a few more days? the Lord asked.   "Well, I stand on your Word and I am not moved by what I see or what I feel, but I am moved only by your Word...and your Word says I am healed."

"Good," the Lord complimented.  "So, you believe you receive as you pray.  You are not moved by what you see, but yet you KNOW you received what you prayed for.  It worked the same way as your salvation. Correct?"  "YES," I answered.

"So you KNOW you received...even when you cannot see it?  And simply because you CAN see it in the Word?  Is that right?" the Lord asked.  "YES, that is correct" I responded.

"So, the EVIDENCE is because you CANNOT SEE IT.  You must take it by Faith, KNOWING you received.  Once you have the manifestation...no further FAITH is required on your part."  I was starting to SEE with my Faith exactly what He was talking about!!!

You see folks, when we pray...and pray according to the scriptures (I have said over and over, "If you can find ONE example in the Bible where the Lord answered someones prayer in a situation similar to yours, you can stand on it and take to Him in prayer to get your answer also)...we can BELIEVE He hears us and, since we KNOW He hears us, we can now KNOW we receive the petitions we desired of Him.  We have the PROOF that we receive because WE KNOW in our heart it is so...the PROOF (the EVIDENCE) is because WE CANNOT YET SEE THE MANIFESTATION!

It is the EVIDENCE WE CANNOT SEE that gives our Faith what it needs to grow.  Once the manifestation comes...we can no longer grow in our Faith in that area.  So it is OUR FAITH that is needed to grow...and that brings the manifestation.  Jesus said, "Be onto you according to your Faith."  Give your Faith a chance to grow by BELIEVING you RECEIVE and thanking HIM because YOU CANNOT SEE IT YET WITH YOUR NATURAL EYES - BUT USE YOUR EYE OF FAITH!!!

And give Him Praise for the Answered Prayer!

Be Blessed,

Brother Bob

Season of Tests and Trials

Have you ever wondered WHY situations arise that try to get you off of the work you want to do for God?  I mean, in my life, I am trying to go full throttle working for God, and then WHAM, I get broadsided with stuff that I did not even have any part in!!!

I am not going to go into detail, but now, today, I am preparing to go to the Police Department to file a written response to a Letter of Complaint which was mailed "in my name; with a forged signature" making outrageous claims that I have never declared...a NASTY letter, full of racial overtones and such...it makes me sick and MAD at the same time!

Thank God the Major assigned to conduct the investigation called me...I told him I had absolutely NOTHING to do with this letter.  So, today, I am going in with a written statement totally absolving myself of this thing...I am also asking for a complete and thorough investigation be made to expose the person who did write this.

Thank God for His Word.  Immediately after I found out about this letter, the Lord dropped Isaiah 54:17 into my spirit, "No weapon formed against me will prosper and every tongue that rises against me in judgement, I will condemn, saith the Lord...for your righteousness is of me saith the Lord."  PRAISE GOD!  Then, although I have prayed to forgive the person who did this thing, I also asked the Lord to uphold Psalms 109:7-8 where the person who did this thing will be brought before the judge and his prayer turn into sin and he be removed from his office and it be given to another.  In other words, may he be exposed, judged and what he was praying for (an investigation) be turned against him...then judgement be rendered and his position on the police force be terminated and replaced with another.

Well, Brother Bob, that sounds harsh!!!  I thought you forgave him.  I DID!  I could pursue legal ramifications for Libel and Slander.  But, after praying, I will not.  However, the office of a police officer must be above reproach.  If he is discovered and only gets a slap on the wrist, this will come back in his career later.  He could be promoted and end up in charge of a large, major criminal investigation.  Then, the defense attorney obtains a copy of his police file and asks in court, "Did you ever commit fraud?  NO?  What about this....?"  Then turn to the judge and say, "Not only did he commit fraud, but he is lying about now, while under oath.  We cannot trust anything this officer says."  And the whole case will be thrown out and every case he ever worked on would be under appeal.

This person, by doing this act, violated his oath and now must be judged and removed from his office, regardless of rank or position.

I started this out talking about a Season of Tests and Trials...Seasons, tests and trials are not permanent. Just like summer, fall, winter and spring...they are a cycle.  So, stand fast in the Lord, never loose Faith that God is in control.  Psalms 66:12 says when we have gone through the Fire and through the Flood, God will bring us out into a WEALTHY PLACE!  Daniel 20:20-21 says that the seasons are under God's control - not the devil's.  When God says your season of trials and temptations are over - they are OVER!  Praise God!

Well, I guess I better get going.  Off to file this police report.

Be Blessed everyone and thanks for allowing me to vent.

Back from the 4th of July Holiday?

I hope and pray everyone had a Blessed 4th of July!  I did not take a vacation this year.  Instead, I focused on spending time in God's Word, spending time with Him and spending time with my family.  In retrospect - this was probably one of the best 4th of July's I have every had!

I have been following the Southwest Believers Convention on the Internet - every service so far!  I wanted to be there - LIVE - this year, but with the transition to full time ministry, I felt the need to stay at home and work on ministry "things" instead of traveling.  But, I am following EVERY SERVICE as if I were there. I have an entire notebook almost filled up with notes!  Glory to God!

One thing I wanted to share with everyone, is a comment Brother Kenneth Copeland made the first night. It just resonated in my spirit: "God founded Israel because He Loved His people.  People founded the United States of America, because the people LOVED GOD!  And God will NOT forget either country!"

Isn't that a great revelation?  I hope it Blesses you as much as it did me.

Until Next Time...Be Blessed!
