The Greatest Is Love, Part Two.
Teaching delivered to the congregation of LJUSC on Nov 21 2011.
This is the fourth and last part of a series of messages the Lord impressed in my heart to deliver to the congregation of Lord Jesus Universal Salvation Church to prepare God's people for the season we are entering and for the rapture. The first message is titled The Greatest Is Love and was delivered on October 4 2011. The second message is a teaching titled Olivet Discourse and was delivered on October 11 2011. The third message is also a teaching and is titled Olivet Discourse Harmonized with Revelation 6. It was delivered on October 18 2011.
The LORD in his infinite mercy and wisdom also provided a backup teaching which serves as confirmation to these messages. The message was posted on fivedoves on Nov 1 2011 and was by a man I never even heard of, never before heard or saw his teachings either. I posted that message on the wall of LJUSC on Nov 2 2011.
On Nov 4 2011 the Lord spoke again and gave these words through sister Sally. “My children, My real children who are ready for the rapture will not be moved for their hearts had been perfected in Me. I have perfected their hearts for Me. They are firm in their faith. They knew Me. They keep My words and. they will not perish even the mountains be moved and the sea roars they have peace in their hearts for what is coming and falling on this world. They knew in their spirit. None of them will perish or be taken from Me. These are the children given to Me by My Father in heaven”. By the Lord Jesus /Message in the intentions of the Hearts on November 04, 2011
Father, I thank You for your faithfulness. I expected You to come to my aid in delivering these messages but You have surpassed my expectation.
Brethren, in message after message the Lord is reminding us that we need to love one another. In one message He said “The love I have commanded you, you have forgotten”. He said it is the only way we will survive the time that is coming. The enemy had had a field day, teaching false doctrine and making Christians think they will not see any sort of tribulation. The intention of the enemy is to throw Christians off balance at the last moment (and thereby wreck havoc in the body of Christ) because they are not expecting to see ANY sort of tribulation. But why should Christians fall for such teaching when the bible clearly says in this world ye shall have tribulation? He said “but be of good cheer I have overcome the world”. John 16:33. Now this is basically the summary of the message of November 4, 2011. Can you see that?
Our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ loves us so much He is telling us exactly how we are going to survive the coming times and the bible clearly tells us what is coming...
29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matthew 24:29-31
-------------
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Luke 21:25-27
-----------------------
12And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev 6: 12-17
Notice the kings of the earth and all the rest think it is the wrath of God in the sixth seal. This is not the case. The wrath of God is the 7th seal in Rev 8 through Rev 11. Are you looking for the rapture? The rapture is Rev 7:9. Notice in Rev 7:3 the angels were asked not to pour out the wrath of God yet until they seal the 144,000. After sealing the 144,000 the rapture happened in Rev 7:9 and then and only then was the wrath of God poured out, starting from Rev 8 and ending in Rev 11. Do you see that? In the English language the rapture then can be described as pre-Wrath.
--------------------
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. Joel 2:1-2
---------------------
28And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.
32And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call. Joel 2:28-32
-----------------------
14Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
16The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. Joel 3:14-16
----------------------
17But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
18And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
19For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
20And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
24But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
Mark 13:17-20; 24-27
---------------------
And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:
21And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:19-21
---------------------
You can now see what the Lord is saying in that message of November 4...
“My children, My real children who are ready for the rapture will not be moved for their hearts had been perfected in Me. I have perfected their hearts for Me. They are firm in their faith. They knew Me. They keep My words and. they will not perish even the mountains be moved and the sea roars they have peace in their hearts for what is coming and falling on this world. They knew in their spirit. None of them will perish or be taken from Me. These are the children given to Me by My Father in heaven”.

The Greatest Is Love, Part Two (continuation)
Teaching delivered to the congregation of LJUSC on Nov 21 2011.
Glory to God in the Highest! The plan of the enemy to take God's people by surprise is defeated. Now no one who read that or this message will say he does not know what is coming, or whether he will be safe. You will be safe. The Lord wants to prevent a situation whereby Christians are thrown off balance by the coming events and start blaming or even hurting one another thinking they are doing God a favor. Sounds familiar? This has been the plan of the enemy from before creation of man, and he had time to prepare. Did you get that? The enemy had time, possibly billions of years to prepare for this time. But thanks be to our God who gives us the victory!
Let me be very clear, Jesus is coming very soon and I want you to be ready for the rapture. Again by all means be ready for the rapture. I believe the expectation for the rapture is doing something positive in the spirit, something necessary for the rapture to happen. This message is therefore not in any way against the ministry of those with end-time messages. The question is, if the rapture doesn't happen first and instead the world literally turns upside down, will you still love Jesus? Will you turn against fellow Christians because you believe somebody misled you? Surely somebody should have taught you differently you would say. That's where this message and the commandment to love come in.
9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted,... and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. Matthew 24:9-10
Brethren, can you now see why Jesus is commanding us to love? Many are offended first and foremost because they bought into the false notion, false assumption that they will not be here at this time, that they would have been raptured in a secret rapture that could happen any time. They waited and waited and no rapture happened, instead the world turned upside down upon them, completely catching them unprepared. If they had seen a teaching such as this, some of those people would have been prepared for what was coming, even if it was just psychological preparation. Sorry but the rapture will happen exactly when the bible says it will happen...
29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matthew 24:29-31. See verse 31? That is the rapture.
Let me just say this with every humility, if you believe the rapture will happen any moment, great, but keep this message in your heart, just in case it doesn't happen before the promised tribulation and cosmic disturbances as in the above scripture. Brethren, this is not a new doctrine, this is the original bible message about the rapture, for the bible says we are not appointed to the wrath of God. 1 Thessa 5:9. It does not say we are not appointed to tribulation. As a matter of fact just the opposite, it promises us tribulation. (read John 16:33 again). And when people quote Rev 3:10 as excuse, that verse still fully supports the original bible position on the rapture which is what we are learning in this teaching. The verse could also very easily be referring to Rev 6:6, “and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine”!
Brethren, I started off like any of you with the traditional Christian notion of a rapture that can happen any moment, and a rapture that must happen before the tribulation. If you scroll down my facebook wall about a year or so you can still see me arguing in favor of a rapture that can happen right now. Then I received a revelation on the issue and it shined like light in my heart, see 2 Peter 1:19. God opened my eyes to the truth and as it turned out it is all laid down in the bible. It is all there for anyone seeking the truth. I have given the written word of God on the issue. Will you believe the written word of God or will you continue to believe the word of mouth? The word of mouth, passed from generation to generation in Christianity is that Christians will not see any tribulation because they will disappear in a rapture that can happen any moment. Brethren, this is not true.
We are the privileged ones who now have heard this message but majority of Christians still think they are going to disappear in a secret rapture that is so imminent it can happen right now. That is not what the bible says and so, many are going to be disappointed and be angry at one another. This is where the commandment to love one another comes in. God says love your neighbour as yourself, that this is the only way we are going to survive what is coming. Now your neighbour could be your enemy, your neighbour could be someone who does not share the same faith with you - say a Hindu, say a Muslim or maybe an atheist, God commands us to love them all. Can you please read this paragraph again? When you love an enemy you will see him or her as Christ does.
We are the just. The bible says the just shall live by faith. Gal 3:11. This is going to be more evident as we approach what is coming. Faith works by love to be effective. Strong faith is impossible without love. In 1 Cor. 13:13 we read: And now abide faith, hope, love these three but the greatest of these is love. Many people believe that faith is the greatest spiritual quality (because it says in Hebrews 11:6 without faith it is impossible to please God, and this is correct), but the bible says love is the greatest. Love is the more important because it is the force that sets faith working and we surely will need our faith during those cosmic disturbances. Many Christians have stifled their faith by failing to walk in love. Failure to walk in love can almost shut down one's spiritual work with the Lord because God is love. It is God, in His infinite wisdom who set love as the greatest commandment. There is none other commandment greater than these. Mark 12:31. If you love someone you pray for them, it does not cross your mind to hurt them. You will not do to them what you will not like someone do to you. This is God's desire for us, this is the position God wants us to be to survive what is coming to this world.
I have tried to avoid on purpose the use of such terms in this teaching as pre, mid and post-Trib as well as pre-Wrath in reference to the rapture, (I think I used pre-Wrath just once). This is because they tend to complicate rather than simplify matters for most people. I gave a teaching about the position of God on the matter based completely on what the bible says, a position that came originally by revelation and has now been confirmed multiple ways including the Lord's own message. Take it to God in your privacy and He is generous and will open your eyes in revelation and settle the matter in your heart. I have done my part in delivering these messages amidst the opposition they received. This task is completed and I may now move on to any other assignment the Lord may ask me. God has already blessed this congregation with great ministers who will continue to deliver regular sermons. Mine had been a special assignment and it is completed.
All glory and honor and praise to our most glorious Lord Jesus.

Postscript:
Dearest sister Sally, you said the Lord told you that I was given you to confirm what He has been showing to you. Yes and this is what I have done in these teachings. And remember I was already doing the series before you revealed that to me. I think the Lord found in me someone who would relate what He has been showing you to the doctrine of Christianity. So when He says something like what is coming to this world He is talking about Tribulation and when He talks about rapture He knows that just like most Christians you already have preconceived notion and He may not want to embarrass you. But He has given you somebody and tasked Him with the job of delivering this teaching.

Take it to God in your privacy and He is generous and will open your eyes in revelation and settle the matter in your heart. I have done my part in delivering these messages amidst the opposition they received. This task is completed and I may now move on to any other assignment the Lord may ask me. God has already blessed this congregation with great ministers who will continue to deliver regular sermons. Mine had been a special assignment and it is completed.
All glory and honor and praise to our most glorious Lord Jesus.

Postscript:
Dearest sister Sally, you said the Lord told you that I was given you to confirm what He has been showing to you. Yes and this is what I have done in these teachings. And remember I was already doing the series before you revealed that to me. I think the Lord found in me someone who would relate what He has been showing you to the doctrine of Christianity. So when He says something like what is coming to this world He is talking about Tribulation and when He talks about rapture He knows that just like most Christians you already have preconceived notion and He may not want to embarrass you. But He has given you somebody and tasked Him with the job of delivering this teaching.
