100 PREDICTIONS THAT WILL BE FULFILLED IN THE YEAR 2015
Here we are in the second month of a new year and last year's predictions were fulfilled to the
very letter. Will it happen again this year ? Will the world end this year ? Will the
mark of the beast be enforced ? Most people don't even know what the mark of the beast will be. No matter how many claim to know what is going to happen in the future and possibly what
will happen within the next 10 months there is only One Who knows with absolute certainty. God Himself is all-knowing and can predict the
future with 100% accuracy. Those who connect with Him through
Jesus Christ by faith are granted the privilege of understanding the things
about the future which He reveals in His word. The Bible reveals today's
principles that are shaping tomorrow's events. Many of these same principles
rule in the lives of human beings and makes us somewhat predictable. Listed

Do you even know Him ? Is He your deeply personal Lord and Savior from the
penalty and power of sin ?
If you have not done so
already or if you have backslidden toward the world and are now
worldly...please in the name of Jesus awake and stay alert if you are awake.
Please...surrender
your heart to God while there is still time; surrender your thoughts and
feelings to Jesus Christ the one who loves you and died in order for you and I
to be able to obtain victory over all sin and selfishness in our lives...God
loves you..God wants you...Not just to be forgiven...Not to play church, but to
truly become Christ-like before you die so that you can be prepared to enjoy
eternity with Him. A Christlike person is the only kind of person that could
enjoy heaven and the only kind of person that could be trusted in heaven.
Pray like this -
Father in heaven, I am a sinner and I believe that Jesus Christ died on the
cross to pay the penalty for my sins. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and
Savior right now and I ask you to give me a new heart. New motives, new desires
and new purposes that will be in harmony with your law of 10 commandments. I
thank you and praise you for the forgiveness of my sins and for causing me to
be born again right now, In Jesus, name, amen.

PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED - 5 MINUTES - BIBLE TRUTHS IN PLAIN WORDS #1
The great danger of this age, and one which brings much unhappiness to individuals and families, is an intense and increasing worldliness. The love and fear of God, reverence for his name, and thoughts of heavenly things, are banished through busy, anxious seeking for the things of the world. God has made his claims known, but men pay no heed to them. Religious principle becomes extinct in the family. Parents do not realize what obedience to God would do for their children, nor that their eternal interests are affected by the habits formed in this life; and they allow the little ones intrusted to their care to grow up without a knowledge of God or of the future life.
GOD'S INSTRUCTION
Notice God's instruction to parents: "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6)
HOPE
If you woke up today, it's not too late to repent and begin making efforts to save your young or adult children. God loves us and wants our families to have eternal life through Jesus Christ. Accept Him as your personal Lord and Savior today.
Romans 12:2/Ephesians 2:2,12/Colossians 2:8/Titus 2:12/James 4:4/2 Peter 1:4/1 John 2:15,16, 5:4,5

#8 - YOUR VERY NEXT EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATELY AFTER DEATH: WHAT REALLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER YOU DIE ?
DEATH IS AN ENEMY
NO MORE DEATH
The Bible predicts the end of death. - And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. (Revelation 21:4) This time is yet future. Those who love GOD and have died are not yet gone to heaven and are not yet praising the LORD. The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. (Psalms 115:17)
CHRISTLIKE CHARACTER MUST BE FORMED BEFORE DEATH
While GOD loves everyone and will forgive anyone HE does not change our character against our will or without our cooperation. In order for a Christ-like character to be developed for heaven it must be developed during an individual’s lifetime and certainly before he or she dies. Character is not changed by death or the resurrection. A Christlike character is the only kind of character that could enjoy heaven and it is the only kind of character that could ever be trusted in heaven. Many religions teach many different things about life after death but only the Bible teaches what you have just read.
AN APPEAL:
If you haven't truly done so already, believer or unbeliever, please...surrender your heart to God while there is still time; surrender your thoughts and feelings to Jesus Christ the one who loves you and died in order for you and I to be able to obtain victory over all sin and selfishness in our lives...God loves you..God wants you and I to cooperate with Him so that we can be made ready to live eternally in a world of perfect love and peace.

#7 - YOUR VERY NEXT EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATELY AFTER DEATH: WHAT REALLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER YOU DIE ?
THE DEAD WON'T STAY IN THE GRAVE FOREVER
Does a dead person stay in the grave forever ? The grave is not the final destination for human beings according to Jesus. Here is what He says in the Bible - Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in thees grave shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. (John 5:28,29)
TWO RESURRECTIONS ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE
Notice that JESUS speaks about 2 resurrections. Those who have done good to others and to their own bodies and minds will be raised in the first resurrection. Those who have done evil to others and to their own bodies and minds will be raised in the 2nd resurrection. The 2nd resurrection will result in the death of those who have rejected the love of God and His offer to transform their characters in preparation for eternal life in heaven. - Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power (Revelation 20:6) The first resurrection is the hope of every one who loves GOD and the foundation for faith in Jesus Christ.
PAUL EMPHASIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RESURRECTION
Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead ? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. (1 Corinthians 15:12-19)Here is something to think about. If the soul really did leave the body at death, then why would there be the need of even one let alone two resurrections ?
Would you like to know more ? Stay tuned for the next post in this series.
AN APPEAL:
If
you haven't truly done so already, believer or unbeliever,
please...surrender your heart to God while there is still time;
surrender your thoughts and feelings to Jesus Christ the one who loves
you and died in order for you and I to be able to obtain victory over
all sin and selfishness in our lives...God loves you..God wants you and I
to cooperate with Him so that we can be made ready to live eternally in
a world of perfect love and peace.

#6 - YOUR VERY NEXT EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATELY AFTER DEATH: WHAT REALLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER YOU DIE ?
CAN SOMEONE COME BACK FROM THE GRAVE ?
Still someone may ask, But where do you go at death ? Don't people come back as spirits and haunt houses after they die ? Does God allow some people to come back from the grave with messages to their loved ones ? Again, we return to the Bible for an answer. - As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more. (Job 7:9,10)
ARE ALL MIRACLES FROM GOD ?
What about the apparitions and ghosts or spirits that many people believe they have seen ? First of all, one needs to remember this and never forget it. God can work miracles but not all miracles are from God. It could appear that a person had returned from the grave but would God be the power behind the apparent miracle ?
DEVILS CAN WORK MIRACLES
The word of God informs us that there is another source of miracles; miracles of deception. - For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. (Revelation 16:14) The spirits of devils can work miracles and it is not likely that it would be for the purpose of promoting the truth about death; when people die, they are dead.
Would you like to know more ? Stay tuned for the next post in this series.
AN APPEAL:
If
you haven't truly done so already, believer or unbeliever,
please...surrender your heart to God while there is still time;
surrender your thoughts and feelings to Jesus Christ the one who loves
you and died in order for you and I to be able to obtain victory over
all sin and selfishness in our lives...God loves you..God wants you and I
to cooperate with Him so that we can be made ready to live eternally in
