Both sons believed Christ for their Savior. I believed and confirmed by this teaching, The moment they each transitions, they were delivered from wrestling w/this body of flesh. Praise Father God and Y’shua for his everlasting incredible grace unto us. Can’t wait for the soon coming rapture where we will be reunited again with my precious sons💜

      I’m sorry for your loss. You will see them again if they were saved. I don’t know why some people fall away and some don’t but it probably has to do with evil spirits or demons. True Christians cannot be possessed but they definitely can be influenced by them and oppressed. I always thought that when you are not “walking in the flesh”, then you have picked up your cross (sins) and then you walk in the Spirit. I do think it is important to try to stop sinning as much as possible and the Christians that are willfully sinning at time of rapture, they could be left behind but I’m not sure. The Holy Spirit is supposed to sanctify you, help you and guide you. I would think that people that are filled with the Holy Spirit, they would not be sinning willfully. Christ is looking for a spotless Bride without wrinkle or blemish.

      @@wideawakeandaware-22 If you have trusted in Christs finished work on the cross and that you have received it by faith, then you are part of the spotless Bride of Christ. You cant be more spotless by your good works. " It is by grace that you have been saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is a gift of God. Not by works, lest any man should boast.For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Ephesian 2: 8-10 A person is boasting if they are saying to themselves " Wow, I'm hardly sinning! God will really be impressed with me." We have a "bent for sin" flesh. And until we receive our new bodies we are going to sin. Not to say that you live in sin and carelessly do what ever you want. But God will slowly make you more like Christ by convicting you of sin and gently guiding you to be more like Him and His ways. But we are fooling ourselves if we think we can be perfect. He is perfecting us day.by day but we will not be perfect until we have a body that is not tempted. That happens at the resurrection which I believe is any day now. Looking forward to Christs soon return!

    First time listener from over in the UK. I enjoyed listening to your talk and probably would have listened even if it you spoke for longer. You explained many things very well, calmly and with humility. I have faith I am saved, yet I wrestle daily with sin some of which I recognise and probably some I don’t even realise I’m doing as they may be habitual. But i reproach myself, or the Holy Spirit or conscience if some will does. It grieves me now I am more keenly aware, yet I slip up on occasion. I strive against sin, but I realise I am only mere man and could never be without sin until in my in corruptible body. I feel we are very near the wondrous time and I am very excited to be with the Lord. We are world weary and embattled, yet we shall persevere for just a little longer.

      A well known Preacher out of Memphis Tn, USA by the name of Adrian Rogers said we will never be perfect on this side of Heaven. If we needed to be perfect in order to go in the rapture then I would say no one could possibly be taken. Habitual sinning is a problem but remember, the Bible says no temptation has overcome you which is not common to man and with that temptation God has provided a way out. Pastor Rogers is one of my all time heroes of the faith and I'm sure he had things he had to overcome daily. By the way if you don't know anything about Adrian Rogers, he went to heaven back in 2006 I believe but his messages are still heard daily on radio and internet. Highly recommend you listen to him. My humble opinion.

Sounds like there will be peace and security first. Matthew 24:36-39 as in the days of Noah people will be marrying eating and drinking. Will be be raptured before peace and safety or it’s sounds like right before sudden destruction? Wouldn’t the antichrist bring peace and security?

      I believe the antichrist brings his peace and safety after the rapture and everything has went into chaos he will rule with this false peace for some time in my opinion. I strongly think he is the white horse and the other 3 will follow bringing their destruction to the earth. At the 3 1/2 year mark of his 7 year peace treaty with Israel ge will turn on them and all hell will break loose before Jesus ultimately returns and outs an end to him. My thought is also that the antichrist is the one muslims call the mahdi who will bring the world together under his new form of islamic religion possibly a revived islamic caliphate.

Your point about 'nearly saved' as being an impossible option..the thought that 'we are sinful, therefore we sin' and not 'we sin therefore we are sinful' was a wow moment for me. It really does all lean on Christ as you say. I am very grateful for this lesson. See you in heaven! Love from Maritta, Kalajoki, Finland

      Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father in Heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?' Then, I will declare to them solemnly, 'I NEVER KNEW YOU. Depart from Me, you evil doers (Matt 7:21-23).' I KNOW My sheep in My Only Fold (John 10:16, 27-28), which is My Only Church instituted on the Apostles (Matt 16:18-19, Rev 21:14) and sent to teach for salvation of souls until the end of the world (Matt 28:20). "Whoever receives the one I send, receives Me and receives the One Who sent Me (John 13:20) and Whoever rejects you rejects Me and rejects the One Who sent Me (Luke 10:16). Many false prophets will arise and deceive many (Matt 24:11), and lead them away along the broad way to perdition (Matt 7:13). How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to Life And those who find it are few (Matt 7:14). Many are called, but few are chosen (Matt 22:14)."

I've been looking high and low for a church that actually has something real to offer and not just going through the motions with cliches and platitudes. I could not be in more agreement with absolutely everything I have heard in this video and I just can't express to you how happy I am right now. I'm currently playing guitar at a church on Sunday mornings, but I am definitely planning on coming to your church next Wednesday night. I'm looking so forward to it. Thank you for faithfully serving the King. You're making an enormous difference.

    Thank you for clarifying this with so many well-meaning people sharing their dreams and visions of the Rapture, but they interpret their own dreams with faulty theology. Romans 4, Hebrews 6, John 10 and many other Scriptures give us assurance of eternal life and that we can never lose it. The same power that saves you is powerful enough to keep you, and it's not you leaving your sin or trying to be holy. Holiness, righteousness are judicial lawful acts of God on His terms. This could be a series of teachings. This of course should make us want to be consecrated and walk worthy of the Gospel, but it's not a requirement or obligation. My job is to believe period...like Abraham!!

    Thank you for exposing this. I know exactly the channel and person to whom you are referring, I was following it for a short while. He is a British gentleman I believe.
    At first I initially liked his channel because it looked like on the surface he was encouraging believers on the Rapture but after watching two or three of his videos, it was apparent he was promoting the false belief that only those Christians who are living holy and sinless lives will make the Rapture. That is when I unsubscribed and commented to him there are no "super" Christians and he was preaching a false Gospel by misconstruing what an "overcomer" is..
    the term "overcomer" according to scripture, are those who have trusted in Jesus Christ and believe he is the Son of God whom the Father has sent. 1 John 5:5-15
    In these last hours, I think we need to be very careful because many otherwise good preachers who get the pre trib Rapture right are also promoting a false Gospel. One increasingly popular end times preacher whose channel I used to subscribe to is claiming you are under religious delusion if you are claiming to be saved by grace but are NOT producing enough works/fruit. Totally FALSE.

    Thank you Brian for answering my question. I love and respect you sir very much. Recently i have also been following "rapture for the overcomers" and it is fantastic as well... so i personally try not to miss a single episode you or Richard put out. Obviously from my question, there are a few differences we all have and in the end, it is very minor since we three love Jesus and live for him . I know Richard who is incredibly smart and God fearing has a more stanch view on the rapture than say you and i . He does make great scriptural points about how we must be living just prior to the snatching away and if not .... well then, we are left behind christian or no christian. i guess i am fearful of this since i am still a daily sinner ( yes i repent daily as well) and it truly keeps me up at night worrying these last couple months. So, i guess i need your opinion on wheather Christs dying for us with his presious blood was/is enough OR if we have a great responsibility as well to be overcomers and doers in these last days. I will finish your program here and hopefully i will sleep easier tonight. God bless you man. Always TCB as Elvis said. glen (TBP)

    The bidy will not be perfect when Jesus comes for the church, but as far as having unrepented sin in our lives that is a no no.if we sin weust repent of our sins, and in so doing the repentance makes us spotless before the Lord, and a walk of not sinning keeps us without spot, or wrinkle, this is how we will be without soot or wrinkle when Jesus comes for the church.

    Looking up!

    I honestly believe that I’m a Christian but yet I battle with addictions that I can’t shake. I’m a functioning addict for all of my adult life. I work, take care of my wife and children still to this day at age 50. I love God, believe in Him and am thankful for Him sending His only Son on the Cross so that I can have eternal life one day. Can I still be taken up in the rapture even though I continue to sin in such a matter??

    I see it this way, my perspective, we are truly living in the days of the Laodicean church age. Therefore like a frog in a warm water boiling pot, we can’t see the fact that were our own worst enemy. What scares me the most, being one of the foolish virgins. We in the western church are what I call weekend warriors. We spend 6 days a week living and competing for worldly desires and then give God 1 day of our time, and while were in church, we can’t wait for service to be over so we can catch up on the latest sports scores or visit our famous restaurant to consume what our flesh desires.

    I love hearing Gods word thank you for sharing. I accepted Christ as my savior, but have never received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Is this a requirement to make heaven? I pray for it.

    “who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness-by whose stripes you were healed.”
    ‭‭I Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
    Living righteously is not a work.
