I don't have to look for Jesus, he dewlls within my very being....... and the antichrist has to come before Jesus does, so in a way we are looking for Jesus..... no one in their right mind would be looking forward to the antichrist coming...... it's what follows that we really care about. That and maybe when to flee to the mountains..... Forgive me sir but.... what are you talking about? If you have a minute by minute constant walk with the Holy Spirit, you have contact with Jesus and the Father spiritually, all the time....... He dwells within you all the time. If you don't have that kind of relationship, you should seak it. If you do then I don't understand your question. Sam I really think that there a very few on this earth that are living according to what you just said. It is possible, but I doubt very few do. What about when you watch a scary movie; are you in fellowship with God? I do believe this is possible but there a many dealings we will have to go thru and we must desire to sumbit to those dealings; "take up your cross and follow Christ". Also just to clear something up with you; I never said we look FOR Jesus; I was quoting Scripture, which says, "we run this race looking TO Jesus". Read Heb 12:1,2. Sad but true. That is also what makes these scriptures true. Matthew 7 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Matthew 22 14 For many are called, but few are chosen." *

And what army would it be that the Pope has at his disposal to cause everyone on earth to follow his lead? Open your eyes "the beast is the superpower" . Who is able to make war with her?

Not quite. Enoch and Elijah were already ascended. Then revealed. I did not say that Elijah and Enoch died and were resurrected. I said that Going to Heaven happens in Life not death. Everyone who has gone to heaven was alive not dead when they went. Christ was dead and came back to life and then ascended up into heaven. I'll bet if Fox News was around, they'd have reported it. Wayne B. Did you live in California in the seventies?

The resurrection from the dead is one of those elementary principals of Christ that you need to understand for salvation. Hebrews 6 1 not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. Going to Heaven only happens in Life not death. We learned this from Enoch, Elijah, and Christ who came back to life to ascend into heaven.

The Centurion Had fiath that moved Christ to heal his servant. But no where does it say that the centurion or his servant were saved.

The spirit of the antichrist is and has been in this world for some time now(as it is written). But the Anti-Christ ruler, he is surley on his way to power. He could well be the pope, the president, the prime minister, the most famous pastor, the nation of peoples in enmity towards God, a famous entertainer, a not to noticable politician who suddenly rises to power, an orginization of world powers seeking war against God, or any person with the spirit of the antichrist within them. Regardless, the bigger concern should be the rising of the beast and not excepting his mark. Because the antichrist is not quite the beast or as influential. Though many people think of the Beast and the Anti-Christ to be one; but if that is the case then I know exactly who the beast is... What about the false prophet, the baptist minister that made fire come down out of the sky in the presence of the beast and consumed Hiroshima and Nagasaki? I take it that you would be referring to America... But if there is a minister who did so please tell me whom? Harry S. Truman ordered the bomb to be dropped out of the sky, bringing fire down on the earth in the sight of man. He was an ordained Baptist minister. All who stand behind the armaments of men are defiled by the beast and need to come out from among them and be separate. The Lord is about to strike the earth in the four streams and

So what is the bottom line of self defence in Christ Jesus. If you want to defend your self then It has to be by faith in God. Any other Choice will return upon your own head unless you repent. How did Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego defend themselves against evil. How did Daniel defend Himself against the Lions. How did Elijah defend himself from the armies of the wicked? Now Christ has come and showed you the way by example. The Just shall live by faith but the wicked will murder each other. The morning is about to dawn an on that day the faith of all will be tested. Hebrews 10 38 Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him." 1 Peter 1 7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 1 Corinthians 3 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

Those who come displaying the Power of the Holy Spirit are those who for sure have the Holy Spirit. These are the ones who bring people into the kingdom by securing their converts faith in the Power of God and not in the wisdom of men. Anyone can be this person by understanding the elementary principals of Christ and coming out from among them and being separate to God. Asking God for His Spirit is also one of the requirements. It is all in Christ's example and teachings. 1 Corinthians 2 4 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. What is your Faith in?

This is how you are supposed to defend yourself in Christ. Put on the full armor of Christ and get ready for those lunatic idiots. Because it is those lunatic idiots that need to be saved "not you". Acts 7 54 When they heard these things they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth. 55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, 56 and said, "Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!" 57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; 58 and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." 60 Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not charge them with this sin." And when he had said this, he fell asleep. Stephen knew what it was to be Christ like. Would He have taken a life to save his own? Not hardly. That is not what his Lord and savior taught.

And if you lift your hand to strike down that evil idiot, How are you standing up for Jesus? By living another day to carry out the word to the world. Wrong word. Wrong Spirit. praise God that the gospel was written in the Spirit of Christ. Praise God that those who belong to Christ have His Spirit. Praise God that those of "Faith in God" Will replace those on earth who only know what they can hear, feel, see, taste and touch. Matthew 16 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. Romans 8 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. Matthew 13 41 The Son of Man will send out His messengers, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

And if you lift your hand to strike down that evil idiot, How are you standing up for Jesus?

13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"

This is not true. Christ plainly stated not to resist an evil person. He also plainly stated that those who take up the sword will die by the sword. And He who tries to save His life will lose it. And if some one strikes you on the cheek turn the other to him also. Matthew 5 39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. Matthew 26 52 But Jesus said to him, "Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Matthew 16 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. There is no such thing as self defense in Christ Jesus. Taking these verses out of context i see..... Mat 5:38

The Holy Spirit is Given to those who ask God. Ask and it Shall be given. Seek and you shall find. Knock and it shall be opened to you. Who ever asks receives. For where your treasure is there your heart will be also. If your treasure is He who sits on the throne of Heaven then you will be filled by Him.
