Martyrdom and Rewards

Take the time to listen (and while you listen to every song in this list, read slowly). This is grace. http://biblocality.com/forums/mp3playerindex.php?do=viewmp3playerpopup

With an honest heart towards Him, how could He refuse you? to reach into your inner man and quickening it with His Own uncreated life to give you a new life and a new spirit.

Like Neo said in the Matrix, "the problem is choice." You haven't chosen yet. He doesn't choose anyone who doesn't choose Him.

That is the truth that can set you free: "whosoever believeth" (John 3.16).

He is "not willing that any should perish" (2 Pet. 3.9). "For if there be first a willing mind" (2 Cor. 8.12). "Whosoever is of a willing heart" (Ex. 35.5).

It's about the increasing martyrdom of the Church at the consummation of this age in the Tribulation to take place this century then the return of Christ, because Israel has been a nation now already for over 50 years and the battle over oil in the middle east is soon approaching (Rev. 9.16,18)...it won't be much longer:

"For the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night" (Rev. 12.10). "The souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held.... white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.... And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead [unsaved] lived not again until the thousand years were finished [read the rest of chapter 20 to see where they go]. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years." (Rev. 6.9,11; 20.4-6).

Give up control of self and place your trust in the greatest love ever known, your Creator entering into His creation to save you from sin and self (redemption), regenerating your inner spirit (born-again, new birth) to give you eternal life and able to come before Him in the whitest robe you have ever seen or could wear.
