| Give Me Oil In My Lamp! 6/14/15 1 Thessalonians 5:1-10 (KJV) 1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. For the last FORTY-FOUR, years I have HEARD OF, YEARNED FOR, BELIEVED in the Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ!!!!! FORTY-FOUR YEARS of looking skyward-EXPECTING!!! MANY of YOU also, just as the "men of Galilee," stand shoulder to shoulder with me, longing and awaiting that GREAT and fateful Day: Acts 1:11 (KJV)
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
"THIS SAME JESUS, WHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN, SHALL SO COME IN LIKE MANNER AS YE HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN!"
1 Thessalonians 5:1 (KJV)
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 1 Thessalonians 5:1 (GW)
1 Brothers and sisters, you don't need anyone to write to you about times and dates. AMEN TO THAT!!! "YOU DON'T NEED/YOU HAVE NO NEED THAT I WRITE UNTO YOU!" YOU can FEEL it, YOU can SENSE it in your spirit, that "SOMETHING" is coming!!! If you are a BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN or even those who are not, sense, feel, and see with their own eyes and ears "SOMETHING" dramatic and large, looming in the short term future. THIS world CANNOT "continue as they were from the beginning of the creation!" 2 Peter 3:4 (KJV)
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. And YES, just as there when the Bible was first recorded: 2 Peter 3:3 (KJV)
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, Sadly, this also is true, "THEY WILLINGLY ARE IGNORANT of......." 2 Peter 3:5 (KJV)
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: THIS is an EXCITING time to be ALIVE on planet earth!!! THE KING IS COMING!!!! As I enjoyed a "contact visit" with my son yesterday, I tried to share with him my joy and excitement of current events and Bible prophesy concerning "THE END OF ALL THINGS" 1 Peter 4:7 (KJV)
7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. He thought I was perhaps fearful and/or apprehensive. And, OF COURSE, none of us know FOR SURE the future!!! BUT I do know this one thing!! It is nearer now than before!!! JESUS IS COMING AND COMING SOON!!! "GIVE ME OIL IN MY LAMP KEEP ME BURNING, BURNING, BURNING GIVE ME OIL IN MY LAMP I PRAY! GIVE ME OIL IN MY LAMP, KEEP ME BURNING FOR THE LORD KEEP ME BURNING TILL THE BREAK OF DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Matthew 25:1-13 (KJV)
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
