Jesus Is Coming Soon ... are you ready?
An important aspect of the ministry of the Holy Spirit is that of 'quickening' - making our dead, sin-filled bodies alive to God, fit to serve Him in Spirit and truth.
This is God's way to prepare His people to approach Him in their natural bodies (sin and all) and offer worship pleasing to Him. The quickening makes our bodies "alive" unto God and "dead" unto sin.
34 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” -- Luke 21:34-36 (New King James Version)>
10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. -- Revelation 3:10 (New King James Version)
Spiritual DeceptionWhen I learned that there were a number of speakers I respected that declined to speak at the rally, I wanted to learn why. I listened to Brannon Howse along with Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort, Todd Friel of wretchedradio.com and others. Please listen to some of Brannon Howse's recent programs on this. And follow up his mentions of Olive Tree Ministries, Erwin Lutzer and others who also have concerns about this. As Glenn has said so often, "Don't take my word for it, or anyone else's word. Find out for yourself." I know that Glenn's viewpoints sounded like a wonderful change from so much of what we've heard for the last few years. But it is become very clear in the last week that this is just a different 'version' of the same deceptive story. Brannon Howse: August 31, 2010 Brannon Howse welcomes guest Todd Friel of wretchedradio.com to discuss what took place at Glenn Becks 8-27 and 8-28 rallies. We play lots of sound bites of Glenn Beck in his own words. I believe that Beck used his conservative veneer and doublespeak to co-opt leaders of the religious right. Beck and these evangelical leaders have sent the message that it is acceptable for millions of "Christians" to embrace humanistic spirituality and paganism for the purpose of social activism and social change.

Statement of Faith
The Bible is the inspired and infallible and authoritative Word of God. (II Timothy 3:15 -16)There is one God, eternally existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; Matthew 28:19; Mark 12:29; John 5:17-30)
I believe in Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal future return to the earth in power and glory to rule over the nations. (Isaiah 7:14; Hebrews 7:26; Acts 2:22; I Corinthians 15:3; Acts 1:9-11)
While man was created good and upright, he fell from that perfection into a condition of spiritual depravity. (Genesis 1:26-27; 2:17; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 5:12-19)
The only means of our being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ. Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation. (Luke 24:47; Romans 8:16; 10:13-15; Titus 2:11; 3:5-7)
The Scriptures teach a life of holiness. Sanctification is a separation from that which is evil and a dedication unto God. We believe all believers should earnestly pursue sanctification by walking in obedience to God's Word. A Christian is able to live a godly life by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. (Hebrews 12:14; I Peter 1:15-16; Philippians 2:12-13)
I believe in the second coming of Christ with His saints to rule and reign on the earth for a thousand years. (Zechariah 14:5; Matthew 24:27, 30; Revelation 19:20; 20:11-15; 21:8)
