This article is not intended to prove ANYTHING. As stated in the title, TRUTH happens regardless of anyone’s belief. And, just as important, truth doesn’t need anyone’s belief to make it actually occur.

It is not as if we need 100,000 signatures to make the rapture happen. It doesn’t work that way. God already has a plan, and nobody, nor anything can change what He has planned for the FINAL days upon earth.

And for those who are whispering in the back…”That’s your belief, not mine…” I must again refer you to the title… “Truth is Consistent and Has Nothing to Do with Anyone’s Belief.” This works both ways…It Doesn’t matter what I BELIEVE either. My belief doesn’t change the truth either.

There are MANY people who have learned how to KNOW what God’s TRUTH actually is. Studying the writings from Prophets of God; Researching the Gospel of Jesus Christ as He taught when He was on the earth; Spiritual Conformation from God’s voice, the Holy Spirit; and even Physical evidence that is playing out right before their eyes. This is how God’s Truth is Discovered.

So today, I would simply like to tell “The World” that The Rapture, which is God’s plan to RESCUE certain people, will occur shortly. I want you to know TODAY if you will be included in this rapture, or if you will be left behind.

In my last article, I discussed that it will be those “In Christ” who will be taken in the Rapture. To be a participant in this, you must have a relationship with Jesus Christ. You will know if you have this relationship with Christ, because you will have received the Holy Spirit in your life. BUT, how will you know if you have the Holy Spirit…. Let’s read some scriptures.

“If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
(2 Corinthians 5:17, KJV)

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.”

(Galatians 5:22–23, KJV)

“In whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.”
(Ephesians 1:13, KJV)

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth.”
(John 16:13, KJV)

“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.”
(Romans 8:16, KJV)

“Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.”
(1 Corinthians 12:3, KJV)

To make the answer to this question simple…If you have the Holy Spirit, YOU WILL KNOW THAT YOU HAVE IT! You will have had some personal experience bring guided, protected, taught, comforted, as well as have a desire to do good things for others, and a decreased desire to sin.

IF YOU DON’T HAVE GOD’S HOLY SPRIT, you will be left behind. The RAPTURE WILL TAKE PLACE! After which, the World Leaders will try to explain it away using a false narrative such as “people have been abducted by aliens.” If you are still on the earth after the rapture, you will see EVIDENCE that God’s rapture has occurred. Millions of people, along with ALL of the Children will be missing from the earth.

When this occurs, let TRUTH guide you from there on out, not the world leaders. For their intent is once again to deceive you, with the ultimate outcome of you following Satan, and surrendering your very soul.

For those of you who Have God’s Holy Spirit, or are not quite certain if you do or not, let me share the difining evidence, and important information of where this Holy Spirit Comes from.

Is the church that a person belongs to a determining factor in who has the Holy Spirit? Some very religious people might think so, but hold on for just a minute…I have some information to share with you.

Let me share a personal story. It took place in Las Vegas, sitting at a 21 Table. (When have you ever heard a spiritual experience begin with something like this?)

Vegas has got to be one of the most spiritually dead places on the earth. However, the table that I was at had a dealer who just beamed with “The Light of Christ.” Her entire countenance was so different than most everyone that was in the casino. It was blatantly noticeable, so I had to ask her why this was the case…

I told her “this casino is filled with people who look plain, and some even dark, but you look different. There is something in your countenance that seems to make you stand out…shine. Why is that?” Her response, “It is because I belong to Jesus Christ!” “Oh, I said. Are you a member of a church?” She replied, “Yes, I go to the Baptist church.”

This Lady 100% had the Holy Spirit. There wasn’t even a question… and whydid she have it?…Because she belonged to Jesus Christ. She had a personal relationship with Him…DIRECTLY, and it showed.

I can also tell you that the Mormon church that I attended was filled with members who had this same countenance…This same glow. I use to say that I could go to an airport and pick them out of the crowd, just from their countenance. They just looked different from other people due to the light inside of them.

We also had a couple that lived on our street, many referred to as “Dry Mormons.” Meaning all they needed to do was to be baptized, because they were good people who had a direct relationship with Jesus Christ. They infrequently attended their Catholic church. However, they had this very same countenance, as the others mentioned in these stories. You could look at all of them and know that they all were filled with the Light of Christ.

So, we have three different “church” beliefs, yet they all had the same countenance. The very same Light of Christ…They were the very Same Fruit, but could it be because they grew on the same tree…Jesus Christ?

To me, this was telling evidence that receiving the Holy Spirit does not come from a church…It comes from our own personal relationship with Jesus Christ. And that the world was filled with people who have the holy spirit, yet they all belonged to different churches, and some, not even a church at all.

Knowing this is very helpful, because it indicates that it doesn’t matter what a person’s specific doctrine belief is, or if they are in a church that teaches perfect doctrine…For those are NOT the determining factor if a person receives the holy spirit or not. It is all based upon a personal relationship with the Savior, inviting Him into your life…Belonging to Jesus Christ.

But what if a person’s church does not even teach about the rapture or end times prophecy? Can they still be raptured?

All who are “In Christ” will be raptured. It clearly states that in the scripture below. It is not the belief in the rapture doctrine that qualifies us to be taken, it is again because of our relationship with Jesus Christ, defined by if we have His Spirit or not.

1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 (KJV)
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive (in Christ) and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

It has nothing to do with “If we have been taught” or “If we even believe in the rapture.” If we are “In Christ” we will be rescued through the rapture that God has planned. This is indeed a TRUTH.

I think that we can all be taught something new about the term “Being Saved.” Yes, the scripture gives us some insight on how a person can be “Born Again,” but I believe it’s not about specific doctrine that we must do in a certain way to receive this gift.

People of different religions are “born again”…they are “saved” as demonstrated by them having the Holy Spirit. Did they all get there through different steps? …It might appear that way, but essentially it was the same process for all of these people. They accepted Jesus Christ into their life and had a personal relationship with Him. That’s how they were “Born Again.”

One more story…

After I retired, I started to drive as an Uber driver. It was an Awesome Job that allowed me to meet so many different people. To try out my “New Jokes,” as well as have some very deep personal conversations.

I had several riders that had recently been released from prison, and with a gentle nudge, they would share their story with me. Many of them told of a life filled with crime, addiction, and regrets, but their story ended with something miraculous.

They had found Jesus Christ, and had become an entirely NEW person. The change in their life was very apparent. They now had a job, and they spoke of a different life that they were living, because of this experience of being “Born Again.” They had become a BETTER version of themselves. Someone DIFFERENT; “Not the person that they were before prison.”

And, I must say, their countenance was a LIGHT. To look into their eyes, I did not see someone that I should be “cautious” in dealing with. I saw a “friend” and someone that I was very comfortable to be around. That person now belonged to Jesus Christ.

There were tears in one of the ex-con’s eyes, when he talked about being forgiven for his sins. From his emotion, it was clear that he had faith in the atonement of Jesus Christ. To KNOW that the horrible things that he had done would be accepted by Christ, and that because of His sacrifice, Jesus would take those sins away from him, in the act of forgiveness…This was very touching… for both of us.

These big, tough, “tattoo heavy” men became as a humble child, as they described what it felt like to receive such a priceless gift from God. This was a testimony… This was Real…and this was evidence of someone who had truly been Born Again. It was not through offering a simple prayer, it was the actual turning their life over to Jesus Christ, letting Him into their life, and letting Him perform His miracle of transforming someone into a different person, becoming “Born Again,” as the requirement that is mentioned in this scriptures:

John 3:3 (KJV)

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

So, to all of you, perfect gospel Knowledge is not necessary in being Born Again. To be honest, there is nothing that you need to know about end times prophecy to make it happen. It will happen as God has planned it, regardless of a person’s belief, (have I stressed this enough?!?)

What is important to know in preparing for the end times, is to recognize if you have the Holy Spirit or not. If you do, life should continue on as it is for you…for you will soon be raptured.

If you don’t have the holy spirit, you’ve got some work to do. Learn about Jesus Christ, and turn your life over to Him. Learn of His atonement that He completed for you. Accept that atonement as the gift in which it was offered to you, and you will immediately be sealed with His Holy Spirit… You will become Born Again, as you will see personal evidence of your life turning towards a different “better” direction. You will see a better version of yourself. And…you too will then be one who is rescued through the rapture.

We are entering the most exciting period in World History. Jesus Christ is coming soon. First to rescue His Children, the again in 7 years with the purpose of defeating EVIL from this earth. I invite you to join us at the Wedding Feast of Christ that will happen right after we have been caught up buy the Bride Groom. See you soon
