THE RAPTURE - BY PASTOR ROBERT BREAKER AT CLOUD CHURCH

There WILL be a rapture, no doubt about it.  The argument is the timing of it.  Of course we will be caught up (rapture, not in the Bible but means the same thing) in the air to be with the Lord!  The Bible says it will happen.  This is how I feel, God doesn't care what we think.  He is sovereign and He will do as He wills and He can do anything he wants.  Is this something we should be arguing over?  It has nothing whatsoever to do with Salvation and we are to be of one voice; one accord so let's all agree that there will be a great catching up but we don't agree on the time of it.  Does it matter or better yet, should it matter?  I truly believe that we should stop this arguing and do what Jesus Christ TOLD us to do and that is to WATCH AND WORK until He comes for us.  The only thing we should concern ourselves with is to be ready for whatever He plans to do.  We don't know the day nor the hour but we can discern the times.  I do believe in a pre-tribulation rapture BUT in case I'm wrong, I plan to be ready for what may come.  Stay grounded in the Word of God.  Be a good Berean and search the scriptures daily to see if what is said is true.  We as the Body of Christ must support, encourage, correct and keep each other on the right path.  We can agree to disagree without all this contention between us.  Let's learn ALL the information and then decide because new knowledge and revelation are coming to light today to uphold this "theory."  It may not have been taught as a rapture but rather "Our Blessed Hope."  Do the wording of it matter?  Not at all.  However, be always ready and found working and watching when He does come for us.  He brings new insight into this teaching.  I too struggle with it but decided it is just not that important because I am saved and I plan to be ready at all times.  Also, it is very clear that we (the Church) are NOT appointed to wrath.  Believe what you will but it is not worth this division.  Let's get on with planting good seeds on fertile ground and lead the lost to Jesus Christ.  Make sure they are ready too for what He is going to do since no one is promised another minute.  

GOD BLESS AND MUCH LOVE (AND LOVE MUCH) IN CHRIST JESUS
