GODS INVITATION TO YOU

PART TWO:
SET APPOINTMENTS WITH GOD

PART THREE:
CELEBRATING THE END OF THE AGE

It is my honor to dedicate this book to my precious mother, Mrs. Ellen Parsley. Her love for the Lord, her faith in Him, and her hope in His appearing has been a true inspiration to me for nearly sixty years.

Her legacy is one of rich spiritual roots that run deep from the hills of eastern Kentucky where she was born and raised, to traveling to the continents of South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe to preach the unadulterated Word of God with power and conviction under the unction and anointing of the Holy Spirit.

Im so thankful for the opportunity and sheer joy of being nurtured in a home where my mother and father put their love for God and His Word above all else. I cant ever remember missing a church servicefor any reason. To this day whenever I visit my mother, she is studying the Wordsurrounded by Bibles and study resources, and her television or news outlets and other electronic devices are tuned only to Christian channels!

Mom, as I lovingly call her, has always had a strong inclination toward the prophetic and end-time themes woven in Gods Word as she anxiously awaits the return of our soon-coming King for His church. So it is with overwhelming pride that I wish to publicly express my sincere love and gratitude to her for instilling these truths and values in my life by dedicating this book to her.

I leave you with these words:

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we shall be forever with the Lord.

1 THESSALONIANS 4:16

Amen, so be it!

H AVE YOU EVER GRAPPLED WITH THE DAUNTING question: Are we living in the end, and are there signs given in Gods Word and in the heavens as direct indicators of Earths final days? As we see catastrophes and calamities around the world and the continual upheaval of the foundations and values we hold sacred, one cannot help but wonder what the living God is saying to His church in this hour.

Proverbs 22:28 says, Do not remove the ancient landmark which your fathers have set.

The land of Canaan was apportioned into twelve sections according to the size of each tribe. The boundaries of each allotment were described and carefully observed by the inhabitants. Land in each of the portions was divided by families, and everyone obtained a share in what God provided. Tampering with the boundaries was a serious offense, since the division of the land was ordained by God Himself.

Not all of the boundaries God intends for us to observe can be outlined on a topographical map, road atlas, or Google Earth. The Creator has also outlined the limits within which He expects us to live and prosper. Moving the fences God has already established leads to serious consequences.

We need not be unaware of where the lines of right living and godly behavior have been erected. God has given us signs in the heavens, celestial clues, as well as those articulated in His eternal Word to guide and protect us. Unfortunately, we live in a culture that has made a common practice of ignoring and overthrowing time-tested principles that would lead us to virtue and victory if we would but observe them. As a result, we find ourselves in territory that exposes us to hazards previously unknown.

Many years ago God spoke to me about proclaiming messages that were disappearing from the modern church. He instructed me to never neglect preaching about the reality of eternity, the certainty of heaven and hell, the rapture of the church, the second coming of the Lord, and especially sin and its terrible toll on humanity.

As I stood by these cultural cornerstones and cried out to those who were carelessly crossing the boundaries into uncharted and dangerous ground, I found that I was the exception rather than the rule. Trespassing onto other territory became not only acceptable but also fashionable. More and more people forsook the certainty and safety of a God-given inheritance for the folly of forbidden places. The fruit of rebellion seems sweet when first tasted, but afterward it becomes a mouth full of gravel (Proverbs 20:17).

Ive declared it for years and am convinced more strongly than everits time to return to the discarded values of the past! Im so grateful to our Father God for His unspeakable gift of Jesus Christ, who paid the highest price and made the ultimate sacrifice to redeem each and every one of us to live victoriously in this life and to save us from the unfathomable suffering of an eternity without Him. And each day I look toward the heavens in anticipation of His soon return!

Im also thankful for great men of God who made an indelible imprint upon my heart regarding these timeless truths as they preached them to me in my youth. As I think back, the first pastor I can remember from my childhood was a Freewill Baptist evangelist, Andrew Workmansmall in stature but towering in anointing, he admonished us to live right, according to Gods Word and reminded us that Jesus was coming soon. I can still hear his words ringing in my ears, If someone would just unlace my shoes, I could be raptured right now! I pray for that same passion to be ignited in the hearts of preachers of the gospel today.
