THIS CHURCH INTERNET MINISTRY IS DEDICATED TO OUR PRECIOUS LORD AND ONLY SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.  HE IS KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS AND OH, HOW WE DO LOVE HIM.  HE HAS SAVED US FROM SATAN BY HIS OWN BLOOD SHED FOR US AS OUR SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS BEFORE ALMIGHTY GOD ON AN OLD RUGGED CROSS AT CALVARY  (YES...GOD'S OWN BLOOD!!!)  AND HAS GIVEN TO US HIS ETERNAL LIFE.  WE HAVE FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS AND WE HAVE FAITH IN HIS BLOOD.  OH HOW VERY VERY VERY THANKFUL WE ARE FOR THE BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS!!!  

WITHOUT JESUS WE HAVE NOTHING.  WITHOUT JESUS WE ARE NOTHINGTHERE IS NO LIFE TO HAVE WITHOUT JESUS.  WE WERE SINNERS HEADED TO AN ETERNITY IN HELL'S FLAMES BEFORE GOD IN HIS MERCY AND GRACE STOOPED DOWN AND REACHED WAY DOWN TO DRAW US TO HIMSELF AND TO THE LORD JESUS.  HE SAVED OUR SOULS OUT OF HIS COMPASSION FOR US.  IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF WHAT JESUS DID FOR US ON THE OLD RUGGED CROSS OF CALVARY.  WE REPENTED OF OUR SINS.  WE BEGGED GOD TO SAVE OUR ETERNAL SOULS.  WE BELIEVED EVERYTHING IN HIS WORD ABOUT THE LORD JESUS.  HE THEN GAVE US ETERNAL SALVATION IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST BECAUSE OF THE LORD JESUS' BLOOD SACRIFICE ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY.  WE HAVE BELIEVED IN THE ETERNALLY SAVING POWER OF THE LORD JESUS' BLOOD.

OUR SPECIAL MESSAGE TO GOD'S BELOVED JEWISH PEOPLE!!!

Please read our personal love-letter to you here.

____________________________________________

May The LORD Jesus ever bless you in the knowledge of Himself.  To those who are unsaved, may you find The Treasure that God placed you on this earth to find.....His Name is JESUS.  To live out one's life and never find this Treasure is the saddest of lives.   The choice to spend an eternity screaming in a furnace of eternal fire because of rejecting Jesus  is a choice you don't want to make.  Eternity is a long time to regret rejecting God's plan of salvation for you.  He stands with His arms open wide for you.  PLEASE don't turn Him away

Jesus is coming back VERY soon and we don't have much farther to travel in this evil world.  He will soon come back to take His saved children Home to be with Him for all of eternity.  All of our tears and worries will be gone forever and never to be remembered ever again, Beloved!  Til then, we wish to encourage you in The LORD Jesus and in your walk with Him.  Til then, we wish for ALL of us in His Church to stand strong in the doctrines that were delivered to us by The LORD Jesus Christ so many, many, many years ago.  The LORD Jesus' doctrines are found in His inerrant and infallible Word.  It is of utmost importance that you read and study your Bible, Beloved.

We MUST live consecrated and holy and blameless lives before The LORD Jesus for He is returning for a spotless Bride just as The Word of God tells us.  We CANNOT hold Jesus' hand with one hand and hold onto the world with the other hand.  This is unacceptable to Him.  Seeing it is HE that "calls the shots", we MUST obey and be conformed into the image of Christ

We are in a time in history of mankind when the last days are upon us.....the antichrist is prepared and ready to take his place on God's prophetic stage, the one-world religious system and one-world government is applying it's finishing touches upon it's last days agenda, the Church is so lukewarm and compromising (in fact, many in The Church cannot be distinguished from the evil ungodly world!), and the prophetic signs are in place that Jesus spoke of signaling that the Rapture is right at the door.  Jesus told us that we are to pray that we be found worthy to escape the things that will come upon the world as God's wrath is poured out upon this evil ungodly worldClick onto "Warning!!! Warning!!!  Warning!!! Message to the Church!!!  Warning!!!  Warning!!!  Warning!!!".

Click onto "Warning!!!  God's Judgement Of The United States Of America Is Imminent!!!" and read of the destruction that The United States Of America will endure very soon as God pours out His righteous judgement upon this nation of evil and wickedness

Click onto "Javier Solana: Antichrist?"--- "Code Name: Endgame"--- Extremely Urgent Last Days Information!!! and read prophecies fulfilled now as we speak pertaining to the end times and the international players in the end times prophecies.  YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AFTER READING THIS!!!

"Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." 

Luke 21:36

The LORD Jesus Christ spoke this instruction in Luke 21:36 to all of God's true born-again children.  We, as Christians, MUST begin praying that prayer to our Father just as The LORD Jesus told us to do and make ourselves ready.  PLEASE don't be left behind.  Turn off the ungodly television....turn off the ungodly music on the radio, etc....cease from striving to be rich in this world that God plans to destroy with fire....cease from lusting after the evils of this world.....cease from hating and back-biting and gossiping and trying to avenge yourself of wrongs done to you in this lifetime.....cease from adultery and fornication and pornography and all sexual sins and immoral sexual lusts

So many are under God's judgement this very hour due to rejecting Him and rejecting The LORD Jesus and His inerrant and infallible Word.  Let us read it together in Romans 1: verses 18-32

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; SO THAT THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE:

 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

 WHEREFORE GOD ALSO GAVE THEM UP to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

 FOR THIS CAUSE God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO A REPROBATE MIND, to do those things which are not convenient;

 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

We must ALL go before The LORD Jesus Christ in full and true repentance of all of our deeds and ask Him to save our eternal souls.  It is ONLY because of His infinite mercy that He can and will forgive us and save our souls from the enemy of our souls......satan himself.  Jesus will cause us to be born again by placing His Holy Spirit within us......by washing us clean from our sin by His blood......by changing us from within by His Holy Spirit within us to be in His likeness of righteousness.  The things we used to love (SIN!) will become the very things we hate.  We will run from sin.  We will not want to be touched by it in any way.  This is what The LORD Jesus does for and to a life!!!  He takes us from the death of our flesh desires to the life of HIS desires for righteousness and righteous living.  Those without Jesus are dead and do not realize it.  To observe them milling about in socialization and sin is to observe the spiritually dead in this world laughing and playing in the spiritual cemetery of godlessness on earth while not realizing they are dead spiritually and headed straight to a devil's eternally-burning hell.  They are truly dead and doomed. It is so very heart-breaking......yet it is in this very condition that Jesus finds ALL of us before we ask Him to save our souls.  Beloved, if you are lost and undone without God and His Son Jesus, please believe, repent, and ask Jesus to save your soul right now.  As a clock ticks, so is your own life ticking towards it's eternal destiny.  There are only two choices.......Heaven or hell.  YOU will be the one who will choose.  If you reject Jesus and His salvation, God will be merely giving to you what YOU chose when you are cast into hell's eternally-burning flames for all of eternity.  There will be only pain and screaming in hell for all of eternity.  Try to grasp how long eternity is.  Your mind will lose itself trying to grasp how long eternity is.  Eternity has NO end. You ALONE will chose where you spend eternity. There will be no cheering sections cheering you on to continue in sin and blaspheme God Almighty and The LORD Jesus Christ and The Holy Ghost.  You will cry out to The LORD Jesus for all of eternity for God's mercy and will not receive one single moment of it.  NOW is the time to receive God's mercy.  PLEASE receive it today!!!  Time is almost up, Beloved.  Time is almost up.

"And He (The LORD Jesus) said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God."

Luke 16:15

"That which is highly esteemed among men" also includes the ungodly famous people (authors, movie and television actors and actesses, worldly singers, etc., etc., etc.) who are adored by the masses in this world!!!!!  One such individual is Oprah Winfrey.  WARNING:TURN OFF OPRAH WINFREY'S SHOW!!!

RUN from Jack Van Impe!!!  He is a compromiser of God's Holy Word and has even announced a blasphemy stating that pets will go to Heaven in The Rapture!!!

The late Tammy Faye Messner (formerly 'Bakker') was a heretic and false teacher of God's inerrant and infallible Word. She falsely promised acceptance by The LORD Jesus of homosexuality thus never offering homosexuals the truth of God's inerrant and infallible Word. She withheld God's Word from homosexuals thus hand-holding homosexuals on their way to an eternally-burning hell. We can only hope that in her final moments here on earth that she sought repentance from The LORD Jesus and sought His eternal salvation. Eternity in an eternally-burning hell is a long time to regret having rejected The LORD Jesus' Truth.

FOR A VERY THOROUGH AND COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF HERESIES TAUGHT BY BILLY GRAHAM, CLICK HERE!!!  FOR MANY YEARS GRAHAM HAS GONE THE WAY OF BAALIM....LOVING FAME, MONEY, RECOGNITION, AND WEALTH.  GRAHAM HAS THUS SOLD OUT THE LORD AND ONLY SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST AND HIS GOSPEL IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THESE THINGS.  WE PRAY THAT GOD WILL REMOVE THE SATANIC SCALES FROM GRAHAM'S EYES AND THAT GRAHAM WILL USE HIS LAST BREATHS HERE ON EARTH TO PROCLAIM THE TRUTH OF THE LORD JESUS' INFALLIBLE AND INERRANT WORD.

The list of names of "preachers" and "teachers" teaching heresy seems endless (we have mentioned but only a very few)..... yet God has a remnant that do not bow to heresy.  His remnant is alive and well and kept by Him in these last days.

Are heretical teachings taught only by television "ministers"?  Absolutely not!!!  In these last days there are many being taught behind pulpits in local "churches"!!!  Are apostates only found on television?  Absolutely not!!!  They, too, are also in many local "churches" in these last days. You MUST read and study The Word of God so that you will know truth from false, Beloved!!!

"AM I THEREFORE BECOME YOUR ENEMY, BECAUSE I TELL YOU THE TRUTH?"

GALATIANS 4:16

This is NOT a hate site.  It is a JESUS LOVE site calling all to true repentance and true salvation of The LORD and ONLY Savior Jesus Christ.  It is a site created with the leading of The Holy Ghost to warn others of the wiles of the devil in these last days.  Take time to research these things for yourself.  Research The Word of God.  This is what we have done. Research the apologetic sites. This is our heart's desire for you to discover these things by researching for yourself, Beloved.  The Holy Ghost leads to truth. The evidence is ample in amount for you to discover for yourself.  Articles, videos, and audios are in abundance. "Living Hope In Jesus" is one of Jesus' love for the lost souls on their way to a devil's eternally-burning hell and it is one of Jesus' love for the many in The Church who are blindly following heretics and apostates away from the true Gospel of The LORD and ONLY Savior Jesus Christ.  God is calling for true repentance.  He is calling for all of us to return to The LORD Jesus' true Gospel that was first delivered to the saints.   We truly believe, based upon  God's Own Word, that to know and fail to warn others is to walk hand-in-hand with the heretics and apostates that abound in these last daysLove WARNS!  The LORD God Almighty Jesus Christ WARNS Your eternal soul is at stake and there are many trying to make claims to your soul.  Research these things and after you have been shown the truth by The LORD Jesus in His mercy and kindness towards you, run, run, run from them and others who are like them!!!  Run to Jesus and His infallible and inerrant Word!!!  Get The Bible out and read, read, read, and study, study, study!!!  If ANYTHING or ANYONE preaches a message that does not match God's truthful Bible, separate yourself quickly from listening to heresy and apostacy.  If someone accuses you of slandering or lying about those discovered by so many to be preaching heresy or apostacy, pray that The Holy Ghost will also lead them to the truth.  That truth will ALWAYS be found by comparing the message with The Word of Almighty  God.  Because God's truth is definitely unwanted by so many (even by so many professing to be Christian), you may have unkind things said to you (as we, too, have occasionally endured).  Jesus' truth is not popular among the masses. It is for this reason that His death was sought and secured so many years ago. Beloved, keep this Word from The LORD Jesus in your mind and heart when you are buffetted for His Name's sake.... "Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets." Luke 6:2.

NOTE:

Beloved, it is of utmost importance that we know the true prophets from the false prophets who parade about in these last days in sheep's clothing seeking to deceive and devour.   This information is found in God's inerrant and infallible Word.  Please click onto "The Marks Of A True Prophet" and begin your study in God's Word pertaining to this very important subject.

FLEE any "church" that teaches idolatry whether by statues, crucifixes, rosaries, etc

FLEE any "church" that teaches that other religions can reach Heaven without Jesus as their ONLY Lord and eternal Savior.

FLEE any "church" that does not teach true repentance before forgiveness of sins and salvation.  Many have substitued the message of true repentance with "having a personal relationship with Jesus" as though He is a "good ole boy" to have a pal relationship with!!!  He is GOD!!!  He is LORD!!!  He is JUDGE!!!  Jesus preached true repentance Himself!!!  The failure to preach the message of true repentance is sending more people to hell than one could ever imagine!!!

Flee any "church" that refuses to preach about hell.  Hell is real.  Hell's fire is real.  Hell's flames are eternally-burning.  Hell is waiting for all who reject The LORD God Jesus Christ and His true Gospel, Beloved.  It is a place that you don't want to go!!!

Flee any "church" that refuses to teach about the fear of God Almighty.  The Bible clearly says that "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7) and The Bible also says "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.  (Proverbs 9:10)  Again, let us read about what God has to say about those who teach a "fear of God according to the precept of man"!!!  "Wherefore The LORD said, Forasmuch as this people draw near Me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor Me, but have removed their heart far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the precept of men, Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shal
