That may be true. But that could be any one, even apostates. A scoffer mocks those with the truth.Scoffers are those who think they have the Truth, but in reality do not.

I've been reading in Romans about not causing a brother to stumble, that is, not eating things that would cause offence. But I really think it works the other way when it comes to prayer. We are not told "pray if it is ok to pray", we are told "pray without ceasing" - if then I give you something to pray, while you are praying, what is it to you that you do good to a brother? You will at some point have the desire to pray: that is a good thing! I'm not hurt that you don't, so much as confused - why are we asked to pray without ceasing, and love one another, if at some point I can't ask you to pray something specific? I'm on the verge of stumbing myself.
This continues to be a worsening problem. Pray for your brothers and sisters too! We all must pray that we escape and stand before the Son of Man!Just to warn, the Devil has become aware, that some of you are not praying as you should.
I'm not threatening you, I'm saying "this is what I have observed, in the spirit".
Do you know to pray that you escape and stand before the Son of Man? And do you do it?
I am praying that we all pray as we were told.
I don't know how much zeal is necessary, I just know we have to do something - when the anti-Christ releases his demons, no one who had an opportunity to do good and didn't, will be protected.

Today was the First Time in several years, that the JW's came knocking at my door. I was trying to figure out what Church they were from. And their in great big letters was JW.org, so I just said, "I don't do JW literature." And they were walking away, and I said, "I am a Evangelical only Christian." So I Hope they are not an ongoing Problem. We will see.
I think you are missing the point about the inspiration that the Holy Spirit gives us - but be that as it may: what I am talking about is reciprocating the Love of Jesus the way He said.As far as I know, all you have to be is Ready expecting HIM, willing to GO, and Absolutely LOVING HIM, to be part of the Rapture.

If I HAVE TO SERVE HIM, is the WRONG MOTIVE. You need to Love Him so much, that you can say without any doubt whatsoever, I WANT TO DO THIS.

This isn't about this or that Church, this or that faith, this or that expectation - it's about us doing what we were told to do (pray that you escape and stand, or pray that the rapture be great and tribulation minimal - these are two sides of the same coin - or pray for leadership and your nation's youth - again, another angle you can approach on).
Have you prayed yet?
I'm worried that people aren't praying as He said to pray; I'm worried we won't present a united front; I could be worried for my soul, but I know whether people pray or not, my own Salvation is a foregone conclusion.I was a Volunteer Prison Chaplain for 15 years of my walk with HIM, and everything I did in the Prison, it was HIM that did it through me, nothing was without Prayer, I was only Jesus Christ, that gave me everything I needed for the Prison Ministry.
In one form of another, try to do PRAY at all times, and, I have multiples conversations daily with HIM. Let me give you some verses, that have helped me immensely, and NO, I am not a Charismatic, and those have nothing to do with it:

Now you seem to be confused about a few things, and overly worried about the Antichrist. Yes, after we go to Heaven for the Wedding of the LAMB, or soon before Rev. 4:4, we go as a GROUP, are you worried that CHRIST will not Do what HE SAYS ? ? ?

What, pray that Lord Jesus will mysteriously CHANGE... what HE SAID WILL HAPPEN at the end of this world??The thing is whether the rapture is pre mid or post tribulation, the necessity of tribulation should mean that we pray - as Jesus asked.
If what you believe about the rapture is not connected in some way to prayer, there is something wrong with your faith!
