100 MIND OPENERS: WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2018


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.

These predictions are all established from principles in the Bible. While they may be considered general and easier to make, there are prophecies in Scripture that foretell the role of America in the last days. Would you like to know something more specific 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.

REFERENCES: Matthew 24, Luke 21:11/Acts 10:43/Isaiah 41:21-23, 42:9, 44:6-8, 46:9,10, 48:5,6/Jeremiah 17:9/Amos 3:7/Hosea 12:10/2 Peter 1:19/Revelation 1:3, 22:7/Proverbs 22:3, 27:12/John 13:19, 14:29/Luke 21:28/2 Timothy 3:1-5,7,13

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.
