Don't Miss the Message: The Gift of the Cross


"The Cross" (Arthur Blessitt)
In Theaters March 27, 2009
December 25, 1969 "the minister of Sunset Strip" answered his calling from the Lord and set out on a journey to bring the message of 'the Cross' to the planet. He began his obedience in Hollywood, California and the mission would not be completed for nearly 40 years. He was not ashamed to share his love for his Savior. In 1969 people who loved their brothers and sisters in Christ and attempted to convince them the importance of their salvation, were labeled "Jesus Freaks". When approached on the street, most avoided them. Some heckled and even became violent. Street evangelism was not a popular notion as the 'free love' and 'if it feels good, do it' campaigns were getting under way. The call to most of the population was to not have a conscience about anything. Immorality, rebellion, and 'me first' was the norm for most young adults. We are paying for it today.

Many blamed this widespread influence of corruption and the deterioration of our moral society on the Russians. As it was true, the philosophy of the communist Soviet Union was to separate the 'family' first; they knew that would lead to destroying the community and eventually our entire moral decay. However, the real culprit, as it has always been, was Satan. The worldly ways of the enemy have always been more appealing, than what our Lord expects of us. These relatively few street evangelists, who cared enough about us to convince us where we stood with our Savior, were viewed as trying to 'sell' something. It was as though they were doing something evil by trying to lead us to realize we were on the wrong path. It's worse today.
***
Unfortunately, most of the population has continually rejected the idea that 'if it feels good, do it' doesn't feel good forever. We are always looking for a substitute, or a quick answer, to fill the holes left in our hearts when the selfish, 'worldly' good times run out. Some of us fall down over and over before we realize the one true way to a full life on this earth is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Many of these are, sadly enough, professed Christians, of which whom, just don't get it. We don't want to conform to the idea of allowing the Holy Spirit control over our lives, as it would require giving up our selfish ideals and misguided direction, which we think of as being comfortable. In all reality, we have no idea what comfort really is, anymore than most of us don't know what trouble really is. When we are faced with real trouble, our 'worldly' things, and secular lifestyles, are of no comfort.
***
Even many Christians do not realize, these things they spend most of their time focusing on, are the things they worship, hence their false gods. We are not to worship anything, other than our Lord. I realize we have vocations and responsibilities, which in and of themselves, should be carried out responsibly. We have families which should take a large portion of our time, but, we must have time for our Lord. We cannot neglect time in a relationship with our Lord. Going days without picking up our Bible and waiting on the Lord to tell us His Will for us, only ends in disaster for our lives.

Arthur has no idea how many he has led to Christ over the years, whether directly, or indirectly by planting a seed in their heart. Obviously, we cannot all do as Arthur Blessitt, and walk away from our lives and selflessly serve the Lord; imagine if we all did. There would be nothing but love and fellowship. What does that say to you? If most of the population lived as God's Word commanded us and teaches us, it would be Heaven on earth. We all know that is a fantasy. Evil rules in the hearts of so many. The influence of evil is all around us. If you don't believe in evil, then evil has won. If you are waiting for Barack Obama to save you, you are delusional. If you haven't seen by now, the whole CHANGE ideal was a joke, there is not much hope for you.

Everyone should be picking up their 'proverbial' cross right now. The situation in this country and in Israel is going to get far worse before it gets better. Every Christian should be preparing themselves by getting their heads out of the sand. Do not take the chance He is not coming, for your sake as well as your family's sake. Be prepared and prepare them. Relentlessly share your love of the lord with them. Take your children to see Arthur's movie. Tell them they're accompanying you to a movie you want to see. Explain to them why Arthur took that journey. Even if they reject the idea now, it will plant a seed in their hearts, for later. After all, the Lord's way of life is much better than "A Bug's Life" or whatever movie they will want to see more. If you aren't that familiar with Arthur and his experiences visit his website.

Focus on the Cross and what Jesus did for you, always. Satan's lies have managed to influence so many into doubting the true Word of God and the importance of our salvation. When your time comes to leave this earth, it is too late to prepare. That time could be today. God doesn't want you to go to hell. Whether you believe in hell, or not, is irrelevant; it still exists, and you will go there. That is why Satan doesn't want you to believe in him. If we all believed in him, we would be rejecting him, instead of our loving Savior, Jesus. Start spending just ten minutes per day, if nothing else, reading the Bible. Seek His Will now, rather than later, before it is too late. Many have the wrong impression that millions will be saved by the rapture. This just isn't so, sorry!
***
Many pastors won't even be taken up with the rapture, as they were not faithful to His Word. Please, do not be one of those left behind. It will be a horrible experience during the Tribulation. If you confess to being a Christian, as you finally woke up and realized it was true, you will be beheaded by the Antichrist. If you take the mark of the Antichrist, which will be the only way you can survive, you will be condemned to eternal fire, hell. Please, I don't know you now, but, I would like to meet you that day, when Jesus meets us halfway and ushers us into His Kingdom. Don't be fooled out of what is due you, as Satan has robbed us of everything else. Secure your place with your loving Savior. He suffered horribly just so you wouldn't.
