Ten weeks - and 50,000 new believers!

It's been so wonderful to see! 
After only 10 weeks with this Covid-19 lockdown, I mean from one local church it's been seen.. 50,000 people make a profession of faith to follow Christ! 
At my So-Cal church and I trust more will make decisions! Yeah it's a healthy mega one (BTW There are some small and big healthy churches, and some that are sadly far from). 
Thanks Lord! Man, each one matters. Thanks as well to all those working there in Riverside (the Believers at Harvest Christian Fellowship are rightly shouting all Glory to God -- we rejoice with them)! 
I pray for all these new people as they begin their new love relationship and walk with Jesus. How awesome is He! Am feeling amped, so excited to see what God has planned. Been doing follow-up. 
Find your place in the work that God is doing -- in Him and His specific purpose for you. I challenge you. 

Some people have asked.. Is this Coronavirus a sign of the End Times? There have been other plagues before, but when you see these things happen with greater frequency, look up. When feel apprehensive, and you see me coming closer together with greater intensity, look up. You can freakout or look up cuz your redemption is drawing near. We shouldn't be looking for the Anti-Christ, we should rather be looking.. seeking Christ. 

What are some signs of the end? See Luke 21:8-11. Lately, we’ve been hearing terms that we haven’t heard for a while, like plagues, herd immunity, flatten the curve, beach closed, social distancing, quarantine, sheltering at home, the last days, God’s judgement, the Rapture, ‘we’re in this together’ (though all alone at home), Armageddon, and the millenium. The Bible says that in the last days there will be an increase of wars, and of plagues, and of earthquakes.. as we’ve seen. And of a one world government too. Experts have told us that Covid 19 (the 6th most infectious disease in the last 40 years) is literally speeding the rise of Globalism. Ain’t for it and the Anti-Christ hasn’t gone public yet that we know. As we’re reminded that the Antichrist’s arrival is close, Jesus Christ and His coming is even closer! 

BTW: I know exactly when the Second Coming will happen. But wait Kurt, you can't know the day or the hour--the Bible says that. Right. The Rapture is when Jesus is coming for his people here, and the Second Coming is when Jesus comes here with His people.. to rule and reign with us forever. There'll be a new heaven and a new earth. About the time.. the Second Coming is seven years after the Rapture happens (the catching away, harpazo, the great escape).
“God save us from living in comfort while sinners are sinking into hell!” ~ Charles Spurgeon
“Evangelism is not a professional job for a few trained men, but is instead the unrelenting responsibility of every person who belongs to the company of Jesus.” ~ Elton Trueblood
“You have nothing to do but to save souls.  Therefore spend and be spent in this work.  And go not only to those that need you, but to those that need you most…It is not your business to preach so many times, and to take care of this or that society; but to save as many souls as you can; to bring as many sinners as you possibly can to repentance.” ~ John Wesley
“It’s challenging to think that many of us live so comfortably -- so far away from the poor -- that we see evangelism as something that can wait. ..There is nothing more urgent than telling the world about the incomparable love of Jesus Christ and the saving grace of God. There is no greater way to demonstrate Christlike compassion than to help out practically.”"For Christ's love compels us," (2 Corinthians 5:14). We need no other reason.” Franklin Graham 
“I’d rather have people hate me with the knowledge that I tried to win them.” ~ Keith Green
"I am convinced the greatest act of love we can ever perform for people is to tell them about God's love for them in Christ." ~ Billy Graham
“Go ye into all the world..” Mrk. 16:15
“Go ye therefore…” Matt. 28:19-20
"The worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched" Mrk. 9:44 

Only this generation of people can reach this generation -- each one matters! Let's pray for more people -- let's brag on Jesus and explain the Message. Let's persuade, influence, verbally incline em if ya will.. convince, and urge peeps to respond to the Lord and His Gospel. 

Suffer strong numbered among His people, a choice, enjoy the love relationship as well. Love it.. Him!
