hello, my name is zaida
I NEED YOUR PRAYER
I'm married for only 1 year, my marriage has being in great tribulation, i have carried so much anger is my life that i'm was tired of being like this, i have even been to jail....i still hold a criminal record of which it will take 1 to 2 years to be gone......but i know that God is going to erase all
THE DEVIL TRIED and it's still trying TO BREAK ME AND MY MARRIAGE
I WAS BORN AGAIN, I BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST BUT MY HUSBAND DOESN'T BELIEVE AND HE IS NOT SAVED....HE ALSO PUTS OTHER THINGS AS PRIORITIES, WHICH MAKES ME AND OUR BABY FEEL AS IF WE ARE A BURDEN TO HIM.
i have faith that God will work in this marriage and in each of us
but i ask in request for a prayer because i need wisdom and knowledge to with stand this tribulation....i know it requires work and faith....
but i need the nation if it has to, to pray for me and my family
i pray that the lord may also bring deliverance into my husband

thanks for your time and love
zaida

I pray we will have understanding of God's wisdom and that understanding what God's word has to say to us will be applied in our lives. That our faith will grow stronger with knowledge and as we seek to draw closer to God, He will in turn grow closer to us. Believe that what God says He can do, can in fact be done. Believe it, to receive it!! Be ready, have your lamps filled for the Bridegroom is coming. Put your life in order give your heart 100% to Jesus and know that in all things we are more than conquers, believe that by His stripes we are healed, and that Jesus will keep you until the day of His return. All this and more is in the bible and I believe now is not the time for indescision, not is the time to firmly plant the seeds of God's word in your soul and read it daily. It will grow and one day you will wake up and realize that the God of all Creation is coming back for you, and you are ready!! God will never leave you, He will always love you, and forgive you. That is the God we serve and love! We have the best of everything in Jesus Christ. God bless each and everyone of you who read this and understand it! Heaven is waiting for us with all God's love, He will bring us home. By the power and to the glory of God the Father, through Jesus Christ the Son, kingdom without end! Amen.

Hi Linda, it's me again with two more cents. If you want to know more about tribulation these chapters and verses I am giving you here are very important to understanding when the time is near and the signs to look for, also it will give you a warning about the evil one and how he will try to trick believers away from Christ. Please read these carefully this is very important. Matt. 24:1 thru 41 -- Luke 21:7 thru 36 & Mark 13:1 thru 33. I would not presume to give you the answers about the end times, I rather God give you the answers. Always read God's word if you want the truth. I have taught the Bible for over 10 years but I teach directly from the bible and I always back up what I say with scripture. There are many false teachers out there, I've come across some you would not believe. That's why I warn those who want to know and understand God's word, it has to be taught directly from the bible. Not one verse here and one verse there but the whole complete teaching. False teachers know how to put different verses together and make it sound correct and they are very good at this. That's why you need to read the complete section, like what I've given you, not one verse or two but the entire teaching. The bible says, "Do not be decieved for many will come in my name." You will read that in the sections on the end times I have given you above. Let me know what you learned from the bible. Bless you & yours, ang

My favorite, I mean one of my favorites is
Jer. 29:11 "I know the plans that I have for you declares the Lord, plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope" God always has the best for us, Praise God!
Blessings to you & yours, ang

Hi Angela I'm so glad you added much more than two cents. All my life all I ever heard was the rapture and we go to heaven and live forever all happy like on a cloud some where. always bothered me why in Rev. it says God will come back to earth and rule for a 1000 years. (forever) Never made sense. Many years back a woman was the one who first started using the word rapture. rapture is not a word from the bible. when she spoke of rapture she said she felt evil. Now I'm learning most of everything I've always been taught most preachers don't know what their talking about. From preachers I know are good preachers I'm hearing when God comes to earth on the cloud He will take Christians off of earth for 7 years. Tribulation times. The bible tells us we are not to worry of the the tribulation times because God will protect us. Tribulation time is for the people who won't follow God. All I can think now is for 7 years we will be trained to fight for God and come back to over throw satan with God as our leader. Sadly most Christians think we will be going to heaven to float on a happy cloud somewhere. reading Kings the wars an all I'm thinking we are to be in learning of the war parts cause God will be using us to cast satan to hell. I'm just so sad cause time is almost up and most of us Christians don't know whats going on. One thing that comes to mind is when I first really realized God, He made it very clear I was to get ready for a big battle. I had never heard then about coming back to earth. Now it all makes sense. Plus the bible plainly says God will be on earth. Why would we be in heaven if God was on earth? Thy Kingdom come. That's what we are to pray for. theres lots I don't understand and we aren't to understand everything and that's ok. I'm so glad to talk to you. God bless you. Linda

When I'm not sure what to do, I ask God. God gave us His book for a reason and I have always found the answer in God's book. Like this: Mica 6:8 "What does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God." God is there for us, to be our guide He gives us the Holy Spirit, To get to know Him we have, The Bible, and God sent Jesus to give us salvation. He will never leave us, His mercy knows no bounds, and His grace is always there to help us!!! That's my Heavenly Father! No matter how difficult life gets, God is there to help. It doesn't get any better than that.. Only believers have this, pray for those who don't know our Father, they are out in this cold, crule world all alone, that is scary! In God's love. ang

In reading what you have been saying about the end times or the tribulation period, I decided to add my two cents worth.
First of all the Rapture of the Saints happens all at once, on that point we all agree. What Christians don't agree on is when this will happen. The Bible clearly states, we will not know the exact time, but we will know the time is near. The disagreement is about the when, pre-trib, mid-trib, or post-trib. From my studies, only pre-trib makes sense to me. One reason is in the book of Revelation, after chapter three, the churches are gone and nothing else is said about the saved. Those already saved when Tribulation starts will meet Jesus in the sky. Those asleep will go first and then the living saved are next. Mid-trib is the second half of tribulation three and a half years, that's when the really bad stuff happens, yet I find no reference to the saints vanishing at that point. Now post-trib, make no sense to me at all. Why would God leave His people here to suffer through tribulation and take them up after it's all over?? Although people will be save during the tribulation, none will be raptured at that point because they will have a purpose. (except 2 in public) Those who are left behind will then become true believers and convert sinners. They will preach the word and souls will be saved, but when they are arrested tortured and put to death that will be another testamony and many more souls will be saved. Action always speak louder than words. I'll end this here and add read Daniel, chapters 7, 8, & 9. Also the book of Joel. These are only a very small section in the Old Testament that refer to end times, but they will give you more insight into the book of Revelation. I hope this will help you better understand this book. It did help me.

pastor Haggie says we will be raptured up for 7 years then we the saints of now along with the saints of the old and new testament will come with the angels to take back the world.

Rapture or not? I've been hearing for awhile that heaven will be on earth. Thy kingdom come. The bible says Jesus will come to earth to sit on the throne for a thousand years. A thousand years means forever. Will you please start finding out about it? I know we've been told about rapture and that's our happy thought to be delivered from this earth. What if we're wrong? If God is coming to earth to take down all the nations and put His Godly people in charge of this world then we should be learning what we are to do to be helping Him. Already their making the robes to be worn for when Jesus comes. The temple will be rebuilt for Jesus. We see these words but don't realize. Grace Linda
