God bless you!
                            I pray you have been blessed and in peace during the close of 2011.  I am excited to see what the LORD brings in 2012!  If you have not read "The Ten Minute Tribulation" please click here and get it now as we move closer each day to "The Final Seven Years".  

 
                                                                             1 Corinthians 3:2   (KJV)
                            I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it,......

Although those of us that believe the voice of the bible, and NOT the voice of the world, know that December 21, 2012 will NOT be the end of the world as many seem to be starting to believe, we do know that end time prophecies are quickly moving into place to prepare the way for end time events!  Now if you are a Christian, that should NOT frighten you but actually it should make you leap for joy!

A pastor recently said to me in a conversation here in Texas "If you don't look at the tribulation correctly, you are already in it."  Hard to deny the truth in that statement and Praise the LORD for that!  For us the end of this age is only the beginning that we have been looking forward to for a very long time and I sincerely pray that you are holding fast to your faith as we approach it! 

                                                                                      2 Peter 3:3-4   (KJV)
                                           Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, 
                                   walking after their own lusts, And saying,  Where is the promise of his coming? 
                      for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were  from the beginning of the creation.

Please don't let another wrong prediction for December 21, 2012 touch your faith in the slightest! 
Paul tells us clearly as Christians what to look for and how we will KNOW when the time is at hand! 

                                                                                   2 Thessalonians 2:3   (KJV)
                                                 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, 
                                              except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed,
                                                                                         the son of perdition;

It is very clear that this falling away MUST take place first BUT be sure it is well underway at this time! 
A very interesting contract was signed by the churches in 1994 and was actually a reversal of the freedom of the church that came about 500 years ago. At that time many Christians lost their life as they tried to escape religious pressure being forced to believe what men were teaching for doctrines and began to seek the freedom to preach the Word of God as it really is!


It was only about 500 years ago when the catholic church was killing anyone that fought against it and preached what the bible had to say and NOT what the doctrines of the catholic church was saying.  The
war that took place at that time when Christians broke away was a bloody bath but many were set free to learn what freedom in the knowledge of Jesus Christ really meant. The inquisition was so bad that when the torture that was taking place in the basements of some churches was discovered, they decided to blow the church up rather than to let any type of memory remain in it!


The intention here is NOT to bash catholics but rather only doctrines that are NOT biblical which take place in many denominations other than in the catholic realm. Unfortunately, many of these doctrines tend to originate in the Vatican.


One of the seven angels that holds the last vials that will wipe out this present world as we know it came to John in Revelation Chapter 17.  This is a powerful chapter on what the angel calls "The Great
Whore" in verse 1.  The woman that the bible speaks of here is a religious system that fornicates with the doctrines of God.  If you feel a couple of horns starting to pop out on your head already, PLEASE hold on now,  because we are ONLY talking bible and truth here and as always I am open to your comments as long as they don't come with one of those little pitch forks!

                                                                                     Revelation 17:1
                                           And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, 
                           and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the
                                                                 great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

You will be glad to KNOW that you don't have to take MY OPINION on the mystery of this "Great Whore" because ALL of the answers are in the Word of God itself and if we continue to go through chapter 17 we will unfold the mystery of the "Great Whore".

                                                                                   Revelation 17:3  (KJV)
                                                     So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness:
                                                       and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast,
                                                                             full of names of blasphemy,
                                                                       having seven heads and ten horns.

From the two verses above it is clear that this woman sits on many waters and is carried by a seven headed beast.  So let's continue in the SCRIPTURES to understand the mystery. At first sight this all seems like a puzzle with so many missing pieces that there is no way to put it together but let's start putting this together and see how simple it really is.  In verse 9 we learn that the seven heads are NOT exactly heads but rather mountains.
 
                                                                                  Revelation 17:9  (KJV)
                                                                   And here is the mind which hath wisdom.
                                                                    The seven heads are seven mountains,
                                                                             on which the woman sitteth.

So now we know the seven heads are seven mountains where the woman sits but we still need to know who the woman is.

                                                                                     Revelation 17:18   (KJV)
                                                              And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, 
                                                                      which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

 We also need to know about the waters that were spoke of in verse one.

                                                                               Revelation 17:15  (KJV)
                                                                                 And he saith unto me, 
                                                                           The waters which thou sawest,
                                                                       where the whore sitteth, are peoples,
                                                                    and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

When we put all of this together we see that we have a city sitting on seven mountains that influences people of all nations and tongues. The rest is actually pretty simple!  We just have to start checking "Cities on Seven Mountains" BUT REMEMBER THIS, this city on seven mountains HAS TO have religious influence and reign over the kings and presidents of the earth!  I have already heard it said "Why can't it be San Francisco or some other city built on seven mountains because there are others, BUT, none of the others have this type of influence upon  the religious system as we know it.


Yes that FOURTH BEAST of Daniel is still pushing it's way through the earth according to the scriptures!  In fact, that FOURTH BEAST is the one that John spoke of that existed as he was given the
vision for Revelation 17!

                                                                                Revelation 17:10 (KJV)
                                                          And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, 
                                                                            and the other is not yet come; 
                                                          and when he cometh he must continue a short space.

 It is very easy to learn that the order of these Kingdoms are as follows. 
1) Egypt   2) Assyria   3) Babylon   4) Medo-Persia   5) Greece   6) Rome   7) Not Yet 

By the time of The Book of Daniel, Egypt and Assyria were already fallen and Nebuchadnezzers' dream and Daniels' vision of the Four Beasts begin with Babylon in Chapters 2, 7 &8.  The interpretation of these four beasts are  ALL given inside the same chapters IF you continue to read each chapter and look for the interpretations inside there!  I find it very interesting that the symbol for Babylon is a lion with eagles wings but I'll let you figure that one out!

I pray you have a blessed close to 2011 and that the LORD bless you mightily in 2012 as we continue to search what the SCRIPTURES say and NOT what the people say!  

God bless you and be sure to tell someone on the job about JESUS!

God is still doing GREAT things!
                                                        I pray all is going well with you wherever you are!  Well, what a time we had in the LORD here in Texas yesterday!  The service was off to a slow start, and in fact, it even ran close to 30 minutes late to actually get started BUT just like JESUS going to Lazarus after he had been dead for 4 days, JESUS is ALWAYS on time!  A young man that we ran into while passing out bread at an apartment complex a couple weeks ago was touched greatly by the Holy Ghost at the end of the service!  What a blessing that was to see!  It was so awesome to see the look on many faces as they could in no way deny that God was in the house!

It is hard to believe that so many today are frightened to even hear that the Gift of the Holy Ghost is still alive and well! I mean after all God did say it was a PROMISE to ALL from the Day of Pentecost to the present! ACTS 2:39 For the PROMISE is unto you , and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.  Now you may have to read the whole chapter to really understand what was happening that day and what they were being PROMISED would be available to ALL for the many generations to come, but one thing for sure is that it's ALL in your bible if you will take the time to look at it!

This is where the Christmas spirit comes in because you would think we would have more time than ever to get into the Word of God as we approach the time of year that has been said to be the birth of Jesus Himself!   I remember when I was in Peru during this time of the year a couple of years ago and the closer we got to Christmas the harder it was to talk to anyone about JESUS.  It was at that time that I really started observing the Christmas spirit as we approach this time of the year!  I try to keep in mind that so many say JESUS is the reason for the season as they honk their horns in traffic and grab gifts out of the hands of each other in stores!  Don't get me wrong because I am sure there are still many that keep the True Spirit through this time of the year but be sure to keep your eyes on the majority around you!

Now back to the Gift that really matters!  ACTS 19:2  Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?  I find it very interesting throughout the Book of Acts that as people were receiving this PROMISE of the Gift of the Holy Ghost that it was something that was seen and heard by all that were there in the room when it was taking place.  ACTS 10:45-47  And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the Gift of the Holy Ghost.  For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.
 
I know, I know, I said the T word.  Tongues!  But should we really argue with the Word of God? 
1 Corinthians 14:39  Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
 
The entire Book of Acts which is the beginning of the New Testament church is loaded with this type of experience.  I can already hear some out there quoting those scriptures from the Book of Romans BUT remember those churches were established under the doctrines in the Book of Acts before the additional letters were sent to them to maintain and disciple them!  ACTS 2:42  And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 


Have you ever wondered what Simon the sorcerer saw happening in the church that made him want to purchase the Gift of the Holy Ghost?  ACTS 8:18&19  And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money.  Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. 
 
As we enter into the season with a reason, let's get back to the TRUTH!  Be a part of Pentecost and NOT the Great Falling Away! 2 Thessalonians 2:3  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.
 
 
One thing for sure!  The Christmas baby is all grown up!
 
You have a blessed day and be sure to tell someone on the job about JESUS!

Praise the LORD!

I guess I better explain the (FIRE) (FUEGO) right off the bat. If you check 2 Timothy 1:6
in the English KJV you will notice that it does not actually say FIRE (FUEGO) of the
Gift of God, BUT, In the Spanish KJV it actually does say FIRE(FUEGO) of the Gift of
God. If we go back to the original Greek (NT) text we will find that it also says the
FIRE (FUEGO)of the Gift of God. Maybe that is why there is not much FIRE (FUEGO)
in a lot of the churches today. 

Growing up I considered myself Baptist because that is what my family considered
themselves, so when I finally started seeking God, I started out in the Baptist Church.
I never heard them sing it, but I saw a song in the Hymn Book called " Oh LORD,
send the FIRE (FUEGO) just now" and then the next line went "and Baptize everyone".
What has happened to the FIRE? (FUEGO) ?

Actually, nothing has happened to the FIRE (FUEGO) because Gods FIRE (FUEGO)
can not be put out, BUT,we can decide we have better things to do OR we can say that
"since the English KJV translators missed something we don't need it", OR we can take
a little spark like this and open up a bible and check it for ourselves and ask the LORD to
show us how easy it is to compare it to the original Greek text and then refuse to let anyone
tell us that we can not be on FIRE (FUEGO)  for God and feel the FIRE (FUEGO) of God.

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego went through the FIRE (FUEGO) (Daniel 3:20) and to
tell you the truth, when I read my bible it looks to me as if everyone will go through the
FIRE (FUEGO). Hold on now, because if what I am saying is true , running away is NOT
going to help anything. Just like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego you can survive
the FIRE (FUEGO) as long as you have Jesus Christ in the FIRE (FUEGO) with you! 

It is hard for me to believe that anyone would not want to experience such an awesome
gift through the mercy and grace of God but Proverbs 30:12 does say that " There is a
generation that are pure in their own eyes and is yet not washed from their own filthiness."
such a washing as this can only take place through the Blood and Grace of Jesus Christ.
Malachi 3:2 "But who may abide the day of His coming? and who shall stand when He
appeareth? For He is like a refiners FIRE (FUEGO), and like fullers soap." 

While putting this together I decided to check some other versions in English on the
verse from 2 Timothy 1:6 and found one that compared to the original Greek. 

2 Timothy 1:6 (Amplified Bible)
That is why I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of,
and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you by means
of the laying on of my hands [a]with those of the elders at your ordination.

If you don't already have a website that you use to check bible versions let me offer you
