Will the world end
this year ? Will there be a stock market crash or an economic boom ? What life changing event will alter your life this year ? No matter how many claim to know what is going
to happen in the future and possibly what will happen within the next 12 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

about what will happen in America in the last days ? By the grace of God, we
will continue the study of America in Bible prophecy in future posts.

Have you
been drawing closer to Jesus Christ ? 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.
