Warning - 1 Thessalonians 5:1-8


SF, Stagecoach, NV
Dear Brothers, Sisters, Prodigals and Unsaved

    As I've told you last couple of months, the Lord has been warning you, time is running out.  I know, because He's had me write these blogs pleading with you not to go through the 7 year tribulation.
    He's given me this scripture to warn and wake you up.  We'll discuss a couple of versus at a time.  These scriptures are very powerful.
    [1 Thessalonians 5:1-2 NKJV] 1 "But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.
    The Messianic Jew does not need to be to be told the season, because the "Feast of Trumpets" [Feast of Tishrei = WAKE-UP] is only a few days away.  They know the scripture and are ready and looking for Jesus to come.  Just like all Christians should be looking for their redemption to draw nigh [Luke 21:28].
    There's more about the thief in the night?  In Roman days, it's believed to be the Jewish High Priest, walking around late at night, to see if any soldiers, were asleep.  If he found them asleep. he'd take his torch and set the fringe of their uniform on fire to wake them up.  What a way to wake up - my mom used a spray bottle of water us with.  Thank God, she didn't know about setting our clothes on fire!
    [Revelation 16:15 NKJV] "Behold, I [Jesus] am coming as a thief. Blessed [is] he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame." 
    John the Revelator is not talking clothes in general, but our robes of righteousness we earn as we walk with Him, doing the work we were created to due - in Jesus' Name.
    [Matthew 24:43 NKJV] "But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into."
    What was a thief in the night?  John 10:10 tells us who the 2 thief's coming are.  The twerp accomplishes this with alcohol, drugs, demon possession and sexual behavior all those lovely things, that try to make you mindless and using your body to control you.  NEWS FLASH: your body will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.  Because it will never free you from the sins of the world.  Romans 8:8-10 is very clear - those walking in the flesh [world], then your spirit is NOT born-again - your thief will be the twerp [satan]!
[Romans 8:8-10 NKJV] 8 "So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ [is] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin, but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness."
    [John 10:10 NKJV] "The thief [satan] does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I [Jesus] have come that they may have life, and that they may have [it] more abundantly."
    So reality check, who would you choose to be your thief, the twerp or Jesus who will remove sin, but replaced it with abundant life?  Will this happen overnight?  No, it's as we grow in His Word and our conscience [voice of your spirit] learns to obey and do things His way.  Then the rewards come to you on earth and in Heaven.
    [1 Thessalonians 5:3 NKJV] "For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.
   There will be no escape for those unsaved or prodigals who have not returned.  Sorry, but now you must not take the mark of the beast [chip in your right hand or forehead].  Or physically die a martyr's death, then, your spirit going to Heaven for eternity.
    [1 Thessalonians 5:4-5 NKJV] 4 "But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness."
    If you continue to willfully sin, there IS a point in which God will turn you over to a reprobate mind - Romans 1:28+. No one knows when that time will come. Only God does. It's a heart issue. I believe that is what the gospels point out. What state is your heart in?
    [Romans 1:28-31 NKJV] 28 "And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; [they are] whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;"  AND THE LIST GOES ON...
    God is a just God, evil will not be allowed in Heaven.   He's already removed the twerp and 1/3 of His angels, because they became evil as Romans 1:28-31 above says.  Your sin can only be removed by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB [JESUS]!  That is the only way!
    [1 Thessalonians 5:6-8 NKJV] 6 "Therefore let us not sleep, as others [do], but let us watch and be sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and [as] a helmet the hope of salvation."
    I've been trying to wake you up and warn you, like the 10 virgins [Christians] only 5 were prepared.  The other 5 where not let in to the wedding feast with Jesus.  Please note here; all 10 were Christians, but only 5 prepared to be ready for Jesus, so Christians and unsaved may be left behind.  So be sure to have your oil [heart] prepared and ready.
    So don't wait, Sincerely, ask Jesus into your heart and ask for forgiveness of your sins.  We don't know the hour or the day, but we do know the season... and we're in it NOW.  If between September 9-11th we disappear [that's only 10-13 days away], you'll know where we are, in Heaven with Jesus.  You might even see some graves open up, of those who's spirit's went to Paradise before us.  The Bible says they go up first.  Then we who are alive in Christ.  Don't miss your last chance.  PLEASE  You'll have nothing to loose if He doesn't come then, but you'll have more time to gain in rewards for eternity.

    As usual, I'll close with this prayer 4 U:    Father, in Jesus' Name I come before you asking that You would send my Brothers and Sisters out to minister to each prodigal or unsaved in the next 13 days.  Holy Spirit, I ask you to give them the Words that will open the heart of those they speak to.  -  In Jesus' Name - AMEN! and AMEN!

Blessing to ALL, see you next week
Sandy F.
The Lord's Servant
