To those who hate and persecute me for my service in The Lord Jesus,

Here is what I do all day when I am not blowing the Trumpet...
for those of you who have been deceived into thinking I have a cult and am led of demons:

One of todays questions, I answered, I received from a teenager on just one of my many websites. (I also linked all Bible references and the context for the young man so he could read around the verses for additional understanding.)

Therefore, if I serve evil and not the Lord, please point out the wrong I have done. Either way, I forgive you and love you even as the Lord has shown me His love for you, even though you hate me and His Word spoken through me.

Here is one of many emails I receive each month:

Hey Man, I just wanted to say... I read the prayer you posted. It really inspried me. Thanks. I've been going through a hard time with my faith, and knowing for sure if God take me to Heaven with Him one day. It's been bothering me, and you seem to be very faithful through what God has done in you. If you wouldn't mind me asking, How do I know for sure that He will? How do I know for a fact that I am going to Heaven?

Please Reply,

Austin.

Message: Brother, the fact that you have asked shows where your heart lies.
Read the following verses and the Word the Lord spoke to me and take them to heart and you will have peace.

Matthew 5:3-12
3 "Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor; the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them! 4 "Happy are those who mourn; God will comfort them! 5 "Happy are those who are humble; they will receive what God has promised! 6 "Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires; God will satisfy them fully! 7 "Happy are those who are merciful to others; God will be merciful to them! 8 "Happy are the pure in heart; they will see God! 9 "Happy are those who work for peace; God will call them his children! 10 "Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires; the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them! 11 "Happy are you when people insult you and persecute you and tell all kinds of evil lies against you because you are my followers. 12 Be happy and glad, for a great reward is kept for you in heaven. This is how the prophets who lived before you were persecuted.

The Promise:

Joh 6:39 - Show Context

And it is the will of him who sent me that I should not lose any of all those he has given me,

Joh 6:37 - Show Context
Everyone whom my Father gives me will come to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me,

Joh 6:44 - Show Context
People cannot come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me; and I will raise them to life on the last day.

How to Love God:

Mt 22:37 - Show Context
Jesus answered, " "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

So then it is not about perfect obedience, but sincere love... rather obedience reveals the heart, for in obedience, a sincere striving to please the Lord, is our love made perfect. And even more than this is that the Lord first loved us and has saved us by grace and not by our works are we saved. Yet Jesus in us, will enable us and lead us into works that reveal Him in us, even as an example to others by the power of the Spirit.

Eph 1:7 - Show Context
For by the blood of Christ we are set free, that is, our sins are forgiven. How great is the grace of God,

Eph 2:5 - Show Context
that while we were spiritually dead in our disobedience he brought us to life with Christ. It is by God's grace that you have been saved.

Eph 2:7 - Show Context
He did this to demonstrate for all time to come the extraordinary greatness of his grace in the love he showed us in Christ Jesus.

Eph 2:8 - Show Context
For it is by God's grace that you have been saved through faith. It is not the result of your own efforts,

Its a gift from God.

Here is a Word(below) that the Lord spoke to me for another person about your age that will bring you peace:

Be Still and Know...I AM THE LORD
From Letters From God and His Christ

7/27/07 - From Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ- A Letter Given to Timothy, For Carly(she is 17 also I think) and For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

Carly’s Question: “Timothy, I have a question for God. Why do I worry like I do? What can I do to relax more and be at more peace and enjoy life more?”

[Jesus] Beloved, you are most beloved...serve Me and you shall have peace. In the serving of another shall one follow Me. As I came unto you and you have known Me, you have yet to come into My fullness...knowing of Me, yet not having come to abide in My love, which is the foundation of all truth and prophecy fulfilled in you. For though I am as the Father, He of Me and Me of He, I laid aside My glory so I might come to you as you are in the flesh, yet not living as any man. I am yours and you are Mine. For I was lifted up and nailed to a tree, so you might come to Me. Even then I knew you and loved you, writing your name upon the palm of My right hand. And in that same moment was I fashioned upon your heart, though you had not yet been born into the world, having been saved already, held fast by My love, cleansed in My blood. I know all who will come to Me, and all who are Mine, received of My Father. For I am also your Father, and through whom you were made, even in the beginning. It is My breath by which you have life...it is of My Spirit you shall be born again into glory, of glory, by glory, held fast under My bosom, in that Day which approaches quickly.

Peace is in the knowing that I AM WHO I AM, and there is none like Me. Joy is coming to live in Me...I am your Sanctuary. Trust comes by faith and acceptance that I am the All in All, under which all things exist and have life...even all things have been put under My feet from the beginning, as I am He by which all things that are were created, even all these worlds.

I died, My glory set aside, so I might be glorified in you...I am risen, death is overcome, so you might be born again into that life which is without end. Behold, you are also risen and shall be lifted up.

Oh death, where is your power?
Oh death, where is your sting?...
Death is put to death, and the grave is covered over in Me.

All these things you know. How then, beloved, My precious little one, do you yet ask of life and how you might have it in more abundance?...Just believe and be still and know...I AM THE LORD.

What of all these things of the world that catch your attention?...They are but a wisp, a moment soon passing into a sea of forgetfulness. Know you not, this world, as you now see it, is passing away? For I am come, and have come already, to free you, beloved...Behold! I am coming to steal and take back even all My treasured ones...they are Mine. Lo, I am returning and shall condemn the world and all therein, which is against Me, rebuilding it upon the new and everlasting foundation, which shall never be moved. For lo, your fathers had rejected Me, and to this day I am despised of many nations, yet the Cornerstone is established still, even in the hearts of men, holding up that which had fallen down.

And so I am come to place in Zion a Rock, even the head of the corner,
of which the whole world will behold...
even all shall see the Morning Star arise upon the Mountain,
which fills and encompasses all things...
bringing forth a new heavens and a new earth.

Beloved, your concerns are answered in this: There is one constant in all the universe, and by whom all things have their being, even all life and even all these stars in the heavens...What is His name?! What is His Son’s name!?...

Shed the skin of this world and put on Christ and walk in the fruit therein,
and have peace, joy and love, of such a kind that surpasses understanding,
nor is it of the kind that one can find in the world...

Trust in Me...
And know I am with you always, even to the end of this age and ever after.

Sing amen, beloved. Sing for Me, and you shall behold My glory...
the glory of God’s one and only unique Son...who was given up for you.

Abundant blessings to you in Christ's great love,
Timothy

Body: To God be all the glory and to the Lamb.
It is only by His Spirit that I remembered those verses, and that for you....

Joh 14:26 - Show Context

The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you.

Thank Jesus as I am His servant, and if I am His servant then I am also your servant, even of all those who sincerely and diligently seek Him.

Your brother in THE Beloved, in Whom we are accepted (Eph 1:6),
