Signs Of The Times Part 2 (It's Happening Right Now!)

The four horses are riding! Make no mistake about that. Many prophecies are being fulfilled and happening right now as I type these words. Notice Revelation 6:3-4

"When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword."

People are slaying one another around the world, every time we see another murder on the news we are seeing the fulfillment of the second seal, peace has most definitely been taken from the earth!

Revelation 6:7-8

"When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth."

What you must understand is the seals are judgments of God being unleashed in the spirit realm, and we can see the physical manifestations of these judgments through all the wars, people killing one another with guns, multitudes dying of hunger in Africa and other nations.

In the 14th century 25 million people were killed in Europe by the bubonic plague, also known as the 'black death'. In recent years we've seen the 'swine flu' that according to WHO, killed an estimated 284,500 people between 2009 and 2010, they called it a pandemic. And how many people have we heard about that were killed by wild animals attacking them? Or circus animals turning on their trainers and killing them?

All of these things are physical manifestations of the spiritual judgments of God!

The fuse has been lit and soon it will make it's way to the explosives! The stage is being set for the race riots to happen, what do you think will happen if the officer who shot and killed an unarmed African American teen goes free?

What do you think will be the end result of air strikes against ISIS or Syria? Retaliation! The judgments of God are happening RIGHT NOW!

I am reminded of the word the Lord spoke to my wife after Osama Bin Laden was killed,  "Revenge Will Soon Hit The Ground, What They Least Expect (America) Will Happen To Them"

What does America least expect happening to them? Bombs dropping right here on this land, which has never happened before, and no foreign army has ever invaded and occupied this country, but it's right at the door! Not to mention homegrown Jihadists and enemies of America already inside the country!

And is anybody paying attention to the Ebola virus? Pestilence, is it not? Indeed it is and it's spreading fast, what will be the outcome of this epidemic?

All Signs Of The Times! Wake up people! For The time is at hand!

Yesenia Vazquez Baptism 9/7/2014

Matthew 28:16-10

"Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

The Lord added Yesenia Vazquez to our number this past Sunday, we are blessed, honored, and encouraged by the great love of our God who has entrusted us with this young soul. We pray that the Lord will give us strength, wisdom, and love to feed and care for His precious sheep.

To God be the glory!

In Jesus,

The Eye Is The Lamp Of Your Body

Matthew 6:22

“The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"

I never understood until recently, that these few verses of scripture contain one of the keys to living a victorious, overcoming life in Christ Jesus.

I can't tell you the countless times I've read this scripture but didn't understand what it really meant. There's even a cliche about these scriptures that say, 'your eyes are the window to your soul', the cliche has some truth in it, because what you see through your eyes can enter into your heart and mind. 

If what you are looking at is evil and ungodly and you indulge yourself in it, then whatever evil it is will enter your body and soul, whether it be an evil spirit or more darkness to feed the evil that's already in you!

Did you know that you can grow in light and grace or more dark and evil over your lifetime? 

The scriptures testify of this truth.

2nd Peter 3:18

"but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

2nd Timothy 3:12

"But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived."

People who are addicted to watching pornography and T.V. for hours on end don't understand what they are doing to themselves spiritually and physically, (I know I didn't!) But glory to God, because He has opened my eyes to this truth and it has changed my life. I pray that it will change yours also.

In Jesus,

Biblical Conversion To Christ: What Does It Look Like? (Audio)

Biblical Conversion To Christ: What Does It Look Like? 08/10 by Tyrone and Cynthia Palmer | Religion Podcasts

Acts 2:36-39

"Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”

Word From The Lord

The Lord spoke and said to me: "It Will Be As It Was In The First Century"

Acts 2:42-47

"And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved."

In Jesus,

Tyrone

Perfeitos em Cristo

This message can also be found in our blog written in English on May 30th, 2010

Escrita por: Tyrone Palmer

Traduzida por: Cynthia Palmer

Nos podemos ser perfeitos nesse mundo? O cliche: "Eu nao sou perfeito", e uma desculpa para continuar vivendo pela nossa carne e a mente carnal? Os Cristaos sao somente pecadores sendo salvos pela graca?

Neste estudo nos veremos o que as Escrituras dizem sobre perfeicao e santificacao em Cristo.

Hebreus 10:11-14

11 Na antiga aliança, os sacerdotes deviam todos os dias executar muitas vezes os mesmos sacrifícios que nunca podiam apagar os pecados. 12 Mas Cristo, tendo oferecido um único sacrifício pelos pecados, válido para sempre, está sentado no lugar de maior honra, à direita de Deus, 13 onde espera que todos os seus inimigos lhe fiquem submetidos sob os seus pés. 14 Por meio daquela única oferta da sua própria vida, Cristo tornou perfeitos ( 5048 completar) para sempre aqueles que estao sendo santificados.

Esta escritura nos diz que o sacrificio de Jesus tornou perfeitos para sempre aqueles que estao sendo santificados. A pergunta entao aqui seria: Nos estamos sendo santificados?

Santificado: 1. fazer santo; consagrado

Sanctify: 1. fazer santo; separado como sagrado; consagrado. 2. purificar ou livrar do pecado: Santificar seus coracoes.

Aqueles que estao em Cristo estao sendo santificados, consagrados, e purificados pela lavagem da agua, pela palavra, pelo sangue de Jesus e o Espirito Santo. Este e um processo continuo (em andamento) mas tem um fim para os que sao escolhidos por Deus, a noiva de Cristo sera sem mancha, sem macula, sem ruga ANTES do retorno de Cristo.

Efesios 5:25-27

25 Vós, maridos, amai a vossas mulheres, como também Cristo amou a igreja, e a si mesmo se entregou por ela, 26 a fim de a santificar, tendo-a purificado com a lavagem da água, pela palavra, 27 para apresentá-la a si mesmo igreja gloriosa, sem mácula, nem ruga, nem qualquer coisa semelhante, mas santa e irrepreensível.

Joao 17:17

17 Santifica-os na verdade, a tua palavra é a verdade.

Nesta escritura, nos aprendemos que nos somos santificados pela verdade, e a verdade nos limpa de toda mentira. Nao somente a  palavra escrita nos santifica quando recebemos a revelacao das escrituras pelo Espirito Santo, mas a palavra falada de Deus tambem nos santifica.

1 Corintios 6:9-11

9 Não sabeis que os injustos não herdarão o reino de Deus? Não vos enganeis: nem os devassos, nem os idólatras, nem os adúlteros, nem os efeminados, nem os sodomitas, 10 nem os ladrões, nem os avarentos, nem os bêbedos, nem os maldizentes, nem os roubadores herdarão o reino de Deus. 11 E tais fostes alguns de vós; mas fostes lavados, mas fostes santificados, mas fostes justificados em nome do Senhor Jesus Cristo e no Espírito do nosso Deus.

Esta escritura nos fala claramente que se nos continuarmos em pecado nos NAO herdaremos o Reino de Deus! Paulo relembra os santos de Corinto sobre esta verdade e os faz saber que eles foram lavados, santificados e justificados em nome do Senhor Jesus Cristo e no Espirito de Deus.

1 Joao 1:7

7 mas, se andarmos na luz, como ele na luz está, temos comunhão uns com os outros, e o sangue de Jesus seu Filho nos purifica de todo pecado.

Tito 2:13-14

13 aguardando a bem-aventurada esperança e o aparecimento da glória do nosso grande Deus e Salvador Cristo Jesus, 14 que se deu a si mesmo por nós para nos remir de toda a iniqüidade, e purificar para si um povo todo seu, zeloso de boas obras.

Colossenses 1:19-29

19 porque aprouve a Deus que nele habitasse toda a plenitude, 20 e que, havendo por ele feito a paz pelo sangue da sua cruz, por meio dele reconciliasse consigo mesmo todas as coisas, tanto as que estão na terra como as que estão nos céus. 21 A vós também, que outrora éreis estranhos, e inimigos no entendimento pelas vossas obras más, 22 agora contudo vos reconciliou no corpo da sua carne, pela morte, a fim de perante ele vos apresentar santos, sem defeito (299 sem mancha, sem falta) e irrepreensíveis (que nao ha nada para repreender ou reprovar), 23 se é que permaneceis na fé, fundados e firmes, não vos deixando apartar da esperança do evangelho que ouvistes, e que foi pregado a toda criatura que há debaixo do céu, e do qual eu, Paulo, fui constituído ministro.

24 Agora me regozijo no meio dos meus sofrimentos por vós, e cumpro na minha carne o que resta das aflições de Cristo, por amor do seu corpo, que é a igreja; 25 da qual eu fui constituído ministro segundo a dispensação de Deus, que me foi concedida para convosco, a fim de cumprir a palavra de Deus, 26 o mistério que esteve oculto dos séculos, e das gerações; mas agora foi manifesto aos seus santos, 27 a quem Deus quis fazer conhecer quais são as riquezas da glória deste mistério entre os gentios, que é Cristo em vós, a esperança da glória; 28 o qual nós anunciamos, admoestando a todo homem, e ensinando a todo homem em toda a sabedoria, para que apresentemos todo homem perfeito (5046 completo, totalmente 

crescido, maduro) em Cristo;29 para isso também trabalho, lutando segundo a sua eficácia, que opera em mim poderosamente.

O Senhor nao esta retornando para um povo que comete pecados e sao cheios de iniquidade no homem interior. Mas Ele quer uma noiva pura, casta que esta se preparando para o Noivo, purificada, santificada, lavada, santa, sem mancha, sem reprovacao, sem repreensao e sem ruga aos Seus olhos.

Biblical Conversion To Christ: What Does It Look Like?

 In these last days that we live in, we are witnessing the fulfillment of many biblical prophecies and prophetic words of God and His ministers. One prophetic word given by Paul is clearly coming to pass in this generation.

Paul said this in 2nd Timothy 4:3 

"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths."

How can you reach a person who has turned away from listening to the truth? You can't! Even Jesus couldn't do many works in His hometown because of unbelief, when there is unbelief in the hearts of the hearers there is absolutely nothing anyone can do, including God! Remember God allowed a whole generation of His own people to perish in the desert for unbelief.

So with all the multitudes of people preaching and teaching on 'how to be saved', how can one know the true way to eternal life and entrance into the kingdom of God? Our only true source of Godly direction and answers comes from the scriptures contained in what we call the 'bible'.

Let me start by clarifying what we really should be saying in regards to the salvation of our souls. The scriptures teach us that we are 'converted' to Christ not instantly 'saved' the moment we confess that Jesus is Lord or repeat a so-called 'sinners prayer'. So to say that 'I'm saved', 'I got saved', or 'I've been saved' etc..., is not correct according to the scriptures and therefore a doctrine of man.

The scriptures teach that salvation is an ongoing process once a soul is converted to Christ and enters the kingdom of God. When we read a passage like Romans 10:9 we MUST put the scriptures in context of who is speaking and who is being spoken to!

"because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Taken out of context this scripture has been used erroneously for decades to make people think that they are instantly 'saved' when they profess their belief in Jesus. But look carefully at the words of the text 'you WILL BE saved', that's future tense is it not? Indeed it is, and there is no instant salvation taught anywhere in scripture.

Conversion means: to turn, turn around

Matthew 18:1-4

"At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”  And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

Acts 3:17-20

“And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled. Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus,"

John the baptist was sent to prepare the way of the Lord and he was also sent to baptize people with water for repentance, John's baptism in water was the start of a transition period from the Old Covenant, into the New Covenant.

Matthew 3:11

“I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Question: What does it mean to be baptized with the Holy Spirit and Fire?

The answer is found in Acts 1:4-5,6-8, & Acts 2:1-4

"And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

"So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

"When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance."

Question: Can we receive this same baptism with the Holy Spirit and Fire today?

The answer is found in Acts 2:36-39

"Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise (Holy Spirit) is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”

The first century Christians experienced a life of power, spiritual gifts, boldness and a love for one another that turned the world upside down! I pray that we will also see days like they did and even greater as this age comes to a close.

In Jesus,
Tyrone
