I have a serious question to ask? is anyone afraid of the rapture?? i am sometimes. i am afraid of being seperated from my loved ones. it is not that i dont want to go, i definatly want to go!!!!!!! but what if my daughter is not going. what if i am having a bad day and i havent been so pleasent that day?? i know that i am saved by grace but you know i have a long way to go to be where i think i need to be. then you get conflicting teaching on this or that and i get freaked out and discouraged that i cant possible make it. this is probably a duh question but it weighs on my mind alot. any comments?? love kassy

Yes, I am afraid.

I am afraid of facing God with all the wasted time and missed opportunities to lead someone to Jesus!

I am afraid I will not see my husband there.

I am afraid of not seeing my children and grandson there.

I fear them staying here, have we taught them enough, even if they listened under protest, to survive in the world as it will be if they do not return to God before the catching away?

Have we left enough evidence for the strangers who will loot our house to find Jesus and stand firm even under duress?

Yes, I fear His return with an urgency that makes my heart ache, and I look forward to His return with my whole heart.

wow good stuff right here I feel sort of the same way, sometimes I think we as christians get put under pressure because we know that the rapture could happen at any moment so while we are trying to live in peace there is an urgency in are spirits to hurry and get done what we need to do in yielding to the Holy Spirit in all we do is hard but we have to, I put myself under a lot of that presssure from the rapture in not knowing when he is coming back so sometimes In my own strength I go and do things I shouldnt be doing, instead he is telling me to relax in him and let him lead he will take care of it all..

Yes this is a great subject, Remember the parable of the Virgins? Those with there lamps full of oil : Math. 25: 1-13. Refresh your minds. I really dont fear this because I try to everyday, first thing when I pray and commit myself to the Lord and ask him to Fill me with His Spirit. He knows all about my unsaved loved ones, and I pray for them. I tell the Lord all the time, Lord, How could heaven be heaven to me, if my loved ones are not there, or if they should be left behind. So I lay this at His feet because I can not change what He has already has spoken into existance, also I trust Him, cause there are so many scriptures that say my children shall be saved, and generations and I remind Him of that, and His promises. I know He Will not fail, He knows how much we Love our loved ones when I pray, What ever it takes Lord, for them to be saved and I totally trust Him. After all, He knows what we will be doing the day He comes, He knows the Hour and the day, so pray everyday for the spirit to consume you, to walk in the spirit. Spend waking moments with Him in prayer and you will know He isnt going to leave you here. We are not perfect- YET and He knows that, besides Fear is not of the Lord, Dont listen to satan, be secure in the fact He loves You. If one of your children, were bad one day and you were planning a vacation that day, would you just leave him there? How much more does our heavenly Father Love us, and looks on our hearts. So rejoice and look forward with anticipation, YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE KING!!

Yes i feel the same.....no-one knows the appointed hour, not even Jesus so really we should be living in a red alert state of expectancy all the time, but how easy it is to forget that and slip into our flesh so often (well it is for me at least...)

I will never forget several years ago, when Chin and i always got a lift to church. This particular Sunday no-one showed up, and i had this apple pie i'd made for someone, that i had to take with me. We waited and waited, and still our lift didn't show up, so eventually i got my bike(everyone has a bike here in Holland!) , put Chinook into her baby seat fixed on the back, and started cycling to church.
First of all though, i had to drop Chin off at the Church Baby Creche, just round the corner from the church. As i got there, i could see it was still locked, there was no sign of anybody. That was very odd, because normally they got there super early to welcome the babies and parents who came early.
Anyway, i got on my bike with Chin in her seat again, and headed for the church. As i turned the corner, i saw NO-one. NOTHING . Usually there were lots of people not only going to my church, but also to the one across the road from it. And there was no-one in sight.
It was then that it hit me.

The LORD HAS COME BACK......


AND WE'VE BEEN LEFT BEHIND ! ! ! !



I can't even begin to explain how my heart was bonking. I was about to cry out to the Lord, but then i realised it was TOO LATE. He'd been, and we were LEFT. Oh man, i was literally shaking. Panic began to set in.

I got off my bike and parked it, and i saw a sister headed for the church. I thought, oh no, she's been left behind too.
I couldn't even speak to her as we entered the church, i had no voice because i was so panic-stricken and scared. The church was in complete darkness, no lights on, nothing.




I'm sure she could hear my heart bonking like crazy.
Suddenly i heard someone right up front, on the stage....and suddenly out of the darkness....he spoke.......


It just so happened that the clocks had been put back one hour the night before, and i didn't realise.
Neither did the other sister. We were one hour too early....
Oh boy i can tell you i went and hugged that brother on the stage...he was fixing the sound and the lights..... .i have never been so relieved in my whole life.

Funny story, but wow....it certainly woke ME up.
