"THE RAPTURE AND THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY" by AMRIK.

John 11 v 25 I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Two groups of people, the dead in Christ and the believer`s that are alive and remain at the Lords coming.

1 Thessalonians 4 v 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

In verse 14 The gospel message!
Concerning Verse 18 Take these words literal as intended. Many who are not comfortable with this doctrine will make the mistake of allegorizing it.

Philippians 3 v 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Keep in prayer and communion with God.

Titus 3 v 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

SOME RAPTURE THOUGHTS: 

In a twinkling of an eye,  
We're about to say goodbye!
Taken out with a shout,  
Up in glory! 
Tell this story,  
The time is drawing nigh!   

Reaching out a hand, 
To those that don't understand. 
I`m a feeble man;  
I do what I can. 
My heart is breaking, 
I just can’t take in those who will be left behind!   

Brothers can you help! 
Get the gospel out. 
A final rally, 
A final shout; 
Please tell them what it’s all about.

"THE GREATEST TRANSACTION" by AMRIK

The Greatest Transaction  The greatest transaction that a person can make; involves no hand phone, no internet connection, no dealing cost, no sales tax, it’s absolutely free! You may have made a vast fortune in stocks and shares like Warren Buffett but have you missed out on the real deal!  Matthew 16v26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul. The price for the greatest transaction ever made available to man was paid on the cross of Calvary. 2 Corinthians 5v21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.  What an offer!  Jesus took our sins on the cross and those who believe the Gospel receive the righteousness of Christ. Romans 5v18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgement came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification o...

PSALM 83.

Psalm 83 v 1   (A Song  or  Psalm of Asaph.) Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 2  For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 3  They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. 4  They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from  being  a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 5  For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: 6  The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 7  Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8  Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. 9  Do unto them as  unto  the Midianites; as  to  Sisera, as  to  Jabin, at the brook of Kison: 10  Which  perished at...

BIBLICAL REPENTANCE AND SALVATION.

John 16 v 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. The Comforter also referred to as the Spirit of truth in John 16 v 13 is quite clearly the Holy Spirit. To reject Jesus and his atonement for salvation is a sin that cannot be forgiven. Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven because he alone lived a perfect, righteous, sinless life. To the natural man it is not clear who the prince of this world is. A look at Ephesians 2 v 2 and 2 Corinthians 4 v 4 will help us clearly identify him. Acts 20 v 20  And  h...
