THREE THINGS TO BE AWARE OF IN OTHER TO BE READY FOR THE LORD'S RETURN IN THE RAPTURE OF HIS BRIDE - BY SUSAN DAVIS

Dear Faithful Followers of CHRIST: There are three things you need to be aware of to be ready for the LORD’s Return in the rapture of the bride—the true church in these, the end times: a) You need to be watching—only those watching will be ready. This scripture tells why: Matthew 24:42-44 (KJV): Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your LORD doth come. 43But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the SON of man cometh. Matthew is clear that without watching, the goodman will be caught off guard and not ready and if you aren’t ready then you won’t be taken. So “watching” which means to keep your focus on the LORD is essential to being ready. Luke 17:32 (KJV) says: Remember Lot's wife. Lot’s wife turned back to the world. If you are turning back to the world and not watching for the LORD, remember Lot’s wife—she did not have a good ending and you won’t either. b) You need to be in the FATHER’s Will—only those FULLY surrendered to the LORD, giving HIM everything, will be ready: This scripture tells why: Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV): 21Not everyone that saith unto ME, LORD, LORD, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the Will of MY FATHER WHICH is in heaven. 22Many will say to ME in that day, LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in THY Name? And in THY Name have cast out devils? And in THY Name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from ME, ye that work iniquity. c) You need to be fully baptized in and consumed by the HOLY SPIRIT—only those with a FULL OIL LAMP will be ready: In this scripture the LORD revealed to me that many who say they received a filling of the HOLY SPIRIT when they accepted CHRIST and don’t believe in a separate baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT are misled. Water baptism and HOLY SPIRIT baptism are two separate events from receiving CHRIST as your SAVIOR and the HOLY SPIRIT baptism required by GOD to be rapture ready is a separate event. This is what the LORD showed me about Paul (also Saul in this passage below) and his baptism in the HOLY SPIRIT event. Paul was on the road to Damascus and he had an encounter with CHRIST: Acts 9:3-18 (KJV): And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 4And he fell to the earth, and heard a Voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou ME? 5And he said, WHO art THOU, LORD? And the LORD said, I am JESUS whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 6And he trembling and astonished said, LORD, what wilt thou have me to do? At this point, there is no question that Paul met CHRIST supernaturally and acknowledges HIM as his LORD and MASTER because he asks HIM what the LORD wants him to do and then as a new follower and believer of CHRIST, Paul does as he is commanded, but HE IS STILL NOT SPIRIT-FILLED AS CHRIST’S NEW FOLLOWER: And the LORD said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. 7And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. 8And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. 9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. And the LORD instructs Ananias in Damascus to pray over the new follower Paul to be baptized in the HOLY SPIRIT: 10And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the LORD in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, LORD. 11And the LORD said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, 12And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight. 13Then Ananias answered, LORD, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to THY saints at Jerusalem: 14And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on THY Name. 15But the LORD said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto ME, to bear MY Name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: 16For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for MY Name's sake. 17And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the LORD, even JESUS, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the HOLY GHOST. 18And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. It was at this point that Paul is FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND NOT BEFORE. The scales fell off his eyes and he could begin the work the LORD was giving him to do. (Also note they were in Ananias’ house so this was clearly NOT a water baptism—it was a baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT—separate from water baptism and separate from acknowledging CHRIST as SAVIOR as a new follower.) Are you baptized in the HOLY SPIRIT? For more scripture on the baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT also read Acts 19:1-7!
