Rapture Ready End Times News 31 Jul 2021 Published on: July 31, 2021 by RRadmin7 UK on red alert as Russia & China posing daily threat from space with ‘reckless behaviour’ Sir Mike said Russia had in the last year deployed a combination of satellites which “we would describe as having the characteristic of a weapon and they practised a manoeuvre, that we would say, could only have been done to deliberately destroy another satellite”. The Roots Of The Elite Left’s Attack On Freedom the left has turned sharply against freedom in recent years. And he vivisects the illiberal ideology about race and justice espoused by many schools, private corporations, and government agencies. Woodrow Wilson … Government, he argued, should be “an instrument of civilization and of humanity” managed by a new professional class of highly trained and scientifically adept technocrats. By virtue of their education and impartiality, they would rise above the mere “consent of the governed” Xi Jinping’s crac

7-31-21 Daily Prayer

Daily Prayer for July 31 Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt Many, Lord, are asking, "Who will bring us prosperity?" Let the light of your face shine on us. Psalm 4:6, NIV Lord our God, with all our hearts we come before your countenance. Our hearts shall always be in your presence, asking, longing, and believing that you will guide our affairs aright. Protect us, for you are our God and Father. Protect all who are in danger or who must go into danger. Make known your great love and your living presence to the hearts of the dying. Draw our hearts together so that we may have community in you, our faith and hope set on you alone. Protect us during the night, and help us to be at peace about all our concerns because they are in your hands. Every concern of every person is in your hands. We ourselves are in your hands, Lord God, our Father, and there we want to remain. Your hands can heal and restore everything. Praised be your name! Amen.

7-31-21 Today in the Word

A SHEPHERD'S BENEDICTION Commenting on today’s reading, the Africa Study Bible points out: “We can often see if preaching about blessing is false or true by looking at its focus. False teachings about blessings are about meeting our needs, finding our success, and building our strength. Biblical teachings about blessing are about God’s work, God being pleased, and God being glorified.” As we’ve delved into sheep and shepherd imagery in Scripture this month, we’ve found several significant themes: God is our Shepherd, leading the flock toward shalom. The Son of God is also our Shepherd. He sought us out and we belong to Him. Church leaders are essentially under-shepherds, leading and feeding the sheep on a disciples’ pilgrimage. We’re all sheep, foolish and weak on our own yet beloved by the Shepherd. He sacrificed His very life for us as the Passover Lamb whose blood gives us life. Hebrews 13:20–21 is an appropriate word of blessing as we conclude this study. The blessing can com

July 31, 2021 The Grace to Overcome Hebrews 4:14-16 The Lord said that though adversity is part of earthly life, He has overcome the world (John 16:33). And because of God’s abundant goodness, kindness, and love for His children, we don’t have to feel discouraged or walk away from His plan. We’ll know His divine grace divine grace is working in us when we have ... • Strength to persevere. Through the Holy Spirit, God releases His power into us so we might endure (Acts 1:8). • A spirit of confidence. The Lord understands our troubles and urges us to approach Him boldly for help (Heb. 4:15-16). • A sense of His presence. When grace is at work, we will be conscious of the Spirit’s abiding support. • A focus on God. With divine help, we can shift our attention from our situation to God. • Trust that God will bring us through—and not just barely but with deeper intimacy and greater faith at the end. • Assurance of God’s sovereignty. We trust that He’s in control of our trials and wi

7-31-21 Urgent

I have been receiving dozens of direct messages on Gab over the past week with people from around the country sharing the horrors from inside the United States Military and their places of employment regarding "mandatory" non-FDA approved experimental Covid vaccinations. Many people are being forced to choose between feeding their families and getting injected with a potentially deadly experimental substance. This is a fundamental violation of not only human rights, but the religious rights that we are guaranteed in the United States of America. I stumbled upon a set of religious exemption documents that the creator calls an “air tight religious exemption request” for the COVID vaccine if it is mandatory for you at work, school, or in the military. You can download these here and customize them to your individual scenario. The Full Document is everything necessary for a US Army Soldier to submit a religious exemption request to his immediate commander, with only certain port

7-31-21 America in the Crosshairs

America in the Crosshairs – Jonathan Brentner - https://www.jonathanbrentner.com/https/jonathan-brentner-g8fgsquarespacecom/config/2021/7/27/america-in-the-crosshairs If I did not believe in the Rapture and the following seven-year tribulation, that would not deter me from anticipating God’s judgment on America at some point in the near future. Because Scripture teaches Jesus’ imminent appearing followed by the wrath of the day of the Lord, I am all the more certain that the U.S. now rests in God’s crosshairs. After reviewing a chapter in her husband’s book on the evil in America at the time, Ruth Graham replied, “Billy, if God doesn't come soon and bring judgment upon the United States, He's going to have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah!" Wickedness in the U.S. has grown exponentially in the decades since then. The words Job spoke long ago still ring true today and certainly apply to God’s sovereignty over all nations: He makes nations great, and he destroys th

7-31-21 Have The Social Media Companies Become Way Too Powerful?

Have The Social Media Companies Become Way Too Powerful? - by Michael Snyder - http://endoftheamericandream.com/have-the-social-media-companies-become-way-too-powerful/ Do you remember the early days of the Internet? It was like “the wild west”, and that could be bad, but in many ways it was also very good. The Internet was very decentralized at that time, and information could flow very freely. For the very first time, ordinary people could communicate with others all over the globe on a massive scale, and I believe that was an incredibly positive development for humanity. Unfortunately, the elite were absolutely horrified by this free flow of information and they became obsessed with restricting it. Today, highly advanced algorithms have been designed to shape our behavior online. We are increasingly being funneled to just a handful of immensely powerful corporate-owned websites, and information on those sites is heavily monitored, controlled and censored. In particular, the lar

Nearing Midnight: Instagram: The Vanguard of Vanity – Todd Strandberg - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ The first king of social media was Myspace, then came Twitter and Facebook, and now a new site is taking over the reins. Instagram is a site primarily used for posting pictures and short videos. Originally launched for iOS in October 2010, Instagram rapidly gained popularity, with one million registered users in two months, 10 million in a year, and 1 billion as of June 2018. Instagram is owned by Facebook, which bought the company for $1 billion in 2012. With the firm now said to be worth $100 billion, Mark Zuckerberg did quite well on his investment. As of June 2021, the most followed person is Portuguese professional soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo, with over 300 million followers. The most followed woman is American singer Ariana Grande, with 251 followers. I found a list of the top 50 accounts on Instagram, and over 90% of the list is dominated by

7-31-21 Paul's Resurrection Thesis

Paul’s Resurrection Thesis :: By Jeff Van Hatten Published on: July 27, 2021 by RRadmin7 Category:General Articles No Resurrection Say the Sadducees Acts 23:6 – “Now when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, ‘Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. It is with respect to the hope and the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.’” During much of Paul’s ministry, he categorically refuted the false teaching of the Sadducees, which stated that “there is no resurrection of the dead” (Matthew 22:23, Mark 12:18, Luke 20:27, Acts 23:8). Yeshua also refuted that false teaching (Matthew 22:23-34, Mark 12:18-27, Luke 20:27-37, Luke 14:14, John 5:29, 11:25), as did Peter and John (Acts 4:1-3, Acts 4:33). Paul addresses the resurrection in Romans Chapter 6, saying: Just as “the Messiah was raised from the dead, likewise we too might live a new life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will also be unit

7-31-21 Biblical Christianity: The Essentials, Not the Excesses

Biblical Christianity: The Essentials, Not the Excesses :: By Dr. Donald Whitchard Published on: July 23, 2021 by RRadmin7 Category:General Articles Summary: There is nothing complicated about what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. This message is basic and can be used by anyone who needs to share their faith in Christ with someone or to turn to Him yourself. I recently got in contact with a brother in Christ living outside of London. He was asking for assistance in developing a website dedicated to Christian apologetics and evangelism for the UK, which is in just as bad a shape, if not worse, than here in America when it comes to the knowledge of God and the need for the Gospel message. Great Britain is awash in skepticism, indifference, and rank hostility towards the things of God and the urgency to come to Jesus Christ for salvation. We are as well, which is pretty obvious. However, there are still embers of spiritual fire in a remnant of believers who will not be intimid

7-31-21 Three Important Truths Job's Friends Neglected

3 IMPORTANT TRUTHS JOB’S FRIENDS NEGLECTED Christopher Ash Monday, 14 June 21 What They Don’t Believe The trouble with [Job’s] comforters is that so much of what they say sounds right. It would be a useful exercise to read their speeches with a pencil in hand, and to put a tick in the margin against every statement they make with which we agree. There would be many ticks, and generally high marks for doctrinal orthodoxy, so much so that it is easy to think the friends are doctrinally sound teachers whose fault is simply that they are pastorally insensitive. But more careful consideration suggests that their fault lies deeper than pastoral insensitivity. It is the content, not just the tone, of their teaching that is false. Their problem is not so much what they say as what they leave unsaid. (This is so often the case with false teaching; we need to be on the lookout not only for wrong teaching some church teachers may give, but also for vital biblical ingredients they habitually om

7-31-21 When Nurturing Life Feels Like Dying

WHEN NURTURING LIFE FEELS LIKE DYING Liz Wann Wednesday, 16 June 21 Sometimes, parenting can just be too much. There are many times when I reach my breaking point. It’s not just the physical needs of my children that are demanding, but their emotional, mental, and spiritual needs as well. I’m playing the peacemaker between my two sons, I’m counseling, I’m discussing heart issues. Just a day of working through behavioral issues can be enough to drain me. So it’s not an overstatement to say that often, parenting feels like death. It’s a constant laying down of our lives. We tend to think that life precedes death, but in the kingdom of God the reverse is true: death precedes life. Jesus taught that we must die to self in order to experience any true life in our hearts. And what beautiful new life it is. The hard things of parenthood are like sandpaper, rubbing back our rough edges and making us smooth. The Holy Spirit is using parenthood to refine us. Parenting Involves Dying to Se

7-31-21 A Step in the Wrong Direction

Daily Devotion: A Step in the Wrong Direction - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem. And they talked together of all these things which had happened. —Luke 24:13–14 https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/a-step-in-the-wrong-direction/ - Listen The two disciples on the road to Emmaus still felt devastated by what they saw in Jerusalem. They had witnessed Jesus hanging on that cross, and they wanted to get away. They wanted to get away from the pain, away from the trauma. We don’t know who these two were, but we do know that one of them was named Cleopas. At the empty tomb, Jesus had given this message to the women: “Don’t be afraid! Go tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there” (Matthew 28:10 NLT). But these two weren’t waiting in Galilee or hanging out in Jerusalem. They were just leaving town. And what was true of these first-century disc

7-31-21 Travel Light

Daily Devotion: Travel Light - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. —Philippians 3:12 https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/travel-light/ - Listen I don’t know about you, but I always take too much stuff with me when I travel. I have a bag with wheels, and no matter what size it is, I’ll still manage to fill it up. I don’t even need everything I put into it. And then I drag around my bag on wheels. Some of us are like that in life. We’re just wheeling our burdens around. We take them with us everywhere, but we need to cast those things aside. The Bible tells us to “strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up” (Hebrews 12:1 NLT). The J. B. Phillips New Testament renders it this way: “Let us strip off everything that hinders us, as well as the sin which dogs our feet.” In other words, we

Daily Prayer for July 30 Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7, NIV Lord our God, we are your children. Hear all our concerns, we pray, for we want help from you, not from men, not from anything we can think or say. May your power be revealed in our time. We long for a new age, an age of peace in which people are changed. We long for your day, the day when your power will be revealed to poor, broken humankind. Be with us, and give our hearts what will remain with us, the strength and mercy of Jesus Christ. Amen.

7-30-21 Daily Dig

Nature Is Your Church? Anthony Lusvardi I am still skeptical about the reasons some seek spirituality in the land, for the spirituality the land offers is anything but easy. It is the spirituality of a God who would, with lightening and earthquakes, sneeze away the bland moralism preached in many pulpits, a wildly free, undomesticated divinity, the same God who demands of Moses from a burning bush, “Remove your shoes, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” When God appears to Job, the comforting sentiments we might expect to feel are absent because such sentiments are at most God’s trappings, not the infinite himself. The God who speaks to Job from the whirlwind reminds him that, comforting or terrifying, he alone is God. If there’s a spirituality of the land, it’s tougher than any religion you might be escaping.

7-30-21 Today in the Word

OUR FUTURE HOME In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, anxiety and depression ramped up among people of all ages. The isolated and unstable conditions, constant news reports, and conflicting information increased our feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. People struggled not just with the threat of illness but also with fears of the unknown future. While as believers, we can relate to those feelings, we are also thankful that no matter the circumstances we have a true source of help and hope in Christ. Today’s reading reminds us of our secure future with Christ. The new Jerusalem will be perfectly ruled from the “throne of God and of the Lamb” (vv. 1, 3). The Good Shepherd will have established shalom for His entire flock. Worship and service will be our normal mode of existence. God will dwell with His people continuously and directly, and we “will see his face” (v. 4; see 1 John 3:2). His presence will light the city always (v. 5). “The river of the water of life,” that is, sa

July 30, 2021 When We’re Tempted to Quit James 1:2-12 Have you ever thought, I can’t take this anymore or I give up? These phrases have the power to change the direction of our life. Let’s look at three things that could cause these sentiments. 1. Satan and his angels. Through their involvement, we can be tempted to stop waiting on God for solutions and instead seek our own way out. Or the enemy may try to redirect our focus away from Jesus and onto our negative emotions. If he can make us feel helpless and hopeless, then he is successfully distracting us from God. 2. The world. Ungodly people are always ready to give believers advice. We need God’s wisdom to set ourselves apart from their thinking and yet stay connected enough to share God’s message of hope with them. 3. Our own flesh. We have a tendency to do what feels good and benefits us, but God’s way is always best and the most fulfilling. If you have ever wanted to give up, you’ve probably been influenced by one or more o
