Rapture and Last Revival

Image
"Davidic worship" and "rapture" are two powerful biblical themes, and while they seem different, they are actually deeply connected in the flow of God’s redemptive plan. Let me explain both and then tie them together. Davidic Worship Biblical Root: Worship modeled after King David, often associated with passionate, extravagant, and Spirit-led adoration of God. Characteristics: Intimacy with God: David’s psalms express raw emotions—joy, sorrow, repentance, and praise (Psalm 23, 27, 51, 150). Musical & Prophetic: Instruments, singing, and prophetic declarations (1 Chronicles 25:1). Tabernacle of David: Unlike the Mosaic tabernacle filled with rituals and sacrifices, David established a tent in Jerusalem where the Ark of the Covenant rested, and there was 24/7 praise and worship (1 Chronicles 16:4-6). Freedom & Dance: David danced before the Lord with all his might (2 Samuel 6:14). 👉 This worship style is about hosting God’s pres...

23rd September 2025

Here’s what’s really going on regarding the recent chatter that “the rapture will happen this September.” What’s fueling the talk right now? A flurry of social media posts and videos are claiming the Rapture will occur between September 22 and 24 , with September 23 being the most frequently cited date.( YouTube , Facebook ) These predictions often lean heavily on the Jewish Fall Feasts —particularly Rosh Hashanah (the Feast of Trumpets)—to make their case. The timing, lunar observation, and symbolism of trumpets are cited as aligning with Biblical passages about the "last trumpet."( Charisma Magazine Online ) What experts say — “Don’t be deceived.” A recent article from Charisma Magazine Online (dated August 27, 2025 ) highlights this wave of date-setting and cautions readers firmly: Perry Stone , an evangelist, warns that date-setting has a flawed track record—ranging from 1948, 1967, 1988, and beyond, none of these predictions came to pass.( Charisma Mag...

Love as the First Qualification

Love as the First Qualification Love for God   परमेश्वर के प्रति प्रेम Matthew 22:37 – “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.”  मत्ती 22:37  – “तू प्रभु अपने परमेश्वर से अपने सारे मन, और अपने सारे प्राण, और अपनी सारी बुद्धि के साथ प्रेम कर।” If we don’t truly love Jesus, we won’t long for His coming or live in obedience to Him.  यदि हम वास्तव में यीशु से प्रेम नहीं करते, तो न हम उसकी प्रतीक्षा करेंगे और न ही उसकी आज्ञाओं का पालन करेंगे।  Love for Christ’s Appearing 2 Timothy 4:8 – “To all them also that love His appearing.” .  2 तीमुथियुस 4:8  – “और केवल मेरे ही लिये नहीं, पर उन सब के लिये भी, जो उसके प्रगट होने से प्रेम रखते हैं।” The crown of righteousness is promised to those whose hearts are eagerly waiting for Him धार्मिकता का मुकुट उन सबको वचन दिया गया है जिनके हृदय उसकी प्रतीक्षा में तड़पते हैं। Love that Proves Our Faith Galatians 5:6 – “Faith worki...

What Will Happen to Our Loans and Belongings After the Rapture?

📖 “What Will Happen to Our Loans and Belongings After the Rapture?” Texts: 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 Romans 13:8 Matthew 6:19–21 1. The Reality of the Rapture 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 – “The dead in Christ will rise first… then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together… to meet the Lord in the air.” The rapture is sudden, real, and for those in Christ . It is about people being taken, not possessions. 👉 Key Point: Salvation depends on your relationship with Christ, not on your bank balance or loan status. 2. What Happens to Our Possessions? Houses, lands, cars, and even bank accounts will be left behind. Matthew 6:19–20 – “Do not lay up treasures on earth… but lay up treasures in heaven.” The rapture strips away the illusion of earthly ownership—everything here is temporary. 👉 Illustration: When the Israelites left Egypt, they carried only what God allowed. Similarly, at the rapture, we carry nothing of this world—only our sou...

Psalm 23:5

Psalm 23:5 "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup overflows." Introduction Psalm 23 is one of the most beloved Psalms, a picture of God as our Shepherd, Provider, Protector, and Host . In verse 5, David shifts imagery from a shepherd to a generous host . God not only leads us but also honors us in the face of adversity. This verse teaches us about God’s provision, protection, anointing, and abundance. 1. God’s Provision – “You prepare a table before me” In biblical times, preparing a table was the act of a gracious host ensuring his guest is satisfied and honored. God Himself takes the role of a host, not just giving crumbs, but a banquet of blessings . This shows intentional care — the table is prepared before you arrive. Application: You don’t need to worry about tomorrow; God has already prepared what you need (Phil. 4:19). 2. God’s Protection – “In the presence of my enemies” N...

Confirmed Successful Waste-to-Charcoal Projects in India

Here’s the current status: Confirmed Successful Waste-to-Charcoal Projects in India 1. Varanasi – Waste-to-Charcoal Plant by NTPC A fully operational waste-to-charcoal plant is running at the Ramna sewage treatment plant in Varanasi , in collaboration with NTPC . It processes about 400 tonnes of waste each day , with two out of three planned units currently active. The produced charcoal is being used to generate electricity.

Money, Prosperity, and Covenant

“Money, Prosperity, and Covenant” 3 John 1:2 – “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” Introduction The Bible never condemns money; it condemns the love of money (1 Timothy 6:10). God’s desire is not just that we survive, but that we prosper in alignment with His covenant . Money is not the source of prosperity— God’s covenant is. 1. Money is not a promise, but prosperity is covenant Deuteronomy 8:18 – “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant…” Money is temporary, fluctuates, and has no eternal guarantee. Prosperity is tied to God’s covenant: it flows from obedience and relationship, not just human effort. Illustration: Israel in the wilderness—no money, yet they lacked nothing (Deut. 2:7). Prosperity was covenant-based. 2. Money is a measurement of value, not just a medium of exchange Money repr...

The Excellence of Love and Readiness for His Coming (1 Corinthians 13:1–6)

The Excellence of Love and Readiness for His Coming (1 Corinthians 13:1–6) Introduction Brothers and sisters, We live in a world that often measures greatness by knowledge, power, talent, or sacrifice. But the Apostle Paul reminds us that without love, all these things are empty. In 1 Corinthians 13, often called the “Love Chapter,” Paul reveals the heart of true Christian living. Today we will focus on verses 1–6, and also connect this with the urgent question: Are we qualified to meet the Lord in the rapture? Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 13:1–6 (KJV) (Read the passage aloud.) Main Points 1. Love is Greater than Gifts (vv. 1–2) Paul says even if we speak the languages of men or angels, without love we are like a noisy gong. Spiritual gifts—prophecy, knowledge, faith—are useless without love. 👉 Application : Our ministries must be rooted in love, or else they are worthless before God. 2. Love is Greater than Sacrifice (v. 3) Giving to the poor or even dying ...

Key

The word “keys” in the Bible is deeply symbolic. Keys represent authority, access, control, and stewardship . Whoever holds the key has the right to open or shut, permit or deny. Let me walk you through the key references: 1. Old Testament Isaiah 22:22 “I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.” Here the key represents authority over the royal household . It’s about stewardship, trust, and responsibility. 2. Jesus and the Keys Matthew 16:19 “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Jesus gives Peter the keys, symbolizing spiritual authority to open the way for others (through the gospel) and to establish order in the church. Matthew 18:18 The authority of binding and loosing (allowing and forbidding) is extended to the whole church body, not just Pe...

From Mission Field Churches to Full-Fledged Churches

  From Mission Field Churches to Full-Fledged Churches Introduction Many churches begin as small mission field gatherings. But God’s desire is for His church to grow in maturity, influence, and fruitfulness. Just like a seed grows into a tree, a mission church must grow into a full-fledged church. Today, we will see how a church can “run the race” in five ways to become strong and dynamic. 1. Running with Vision and Mission 📖 Proverbs 29:18 – “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” A full-fledged church must know its God-given vision. Mission answers the what —to preach the gospel and make disciples (Matthew 28:19–20). Vision answers the why —to glorify God and expand His kingdom. Application: Leaders must clearly communicate the vision. Every ministry—worship, teaching, evangelism—should align with the mission. 2. Running with Pace (Speed) 📖 Habakkuk 2:2 – “Write the vision and make it plain… that he may run who reads it.” God’...

Discernment and Guarding Against Deception

Discernment and Guarding Against Deception  विवेक और धोखे से बचाव Introduction  भूमिका We live in a time where truth and lies often look very similar. Many voices claim to speak for God, yet not all are from Him. Jesus Himself warned that false prophets and false Christs would arise to deceive—even showing signs and wonders (Matthew 24:24). Therefore, every believer must develop discernment , stay rooted in Scripture , and walk in a Spirit-led life . हम ऐसे समय में जी रहे हैं जहाँ सत्य और झूठ बहुत समान दिखाई देते हैं। अनेक आवाज़ें दावा करती हैं कि वे परमेश्वर की ओर से बोलती हैं, परन्तु सब सच में परमेश्वर से नहीं होतीं। यीशु ने स्वयं चेतावनी दी कि झूठे मसीह और झूठे भविष्यवक्ता उठ खड़े होंगे, यहाँ तक कि चिन्ह और अद्भुत कार्य भी दिखाएँगे ताकि धोखा दें (मत्ती 24:24)। इसलिए हर विश्वासी को विवेकशील होना चाहिए, पवित्रशास्त्र में जड़ें जमाए रहना चाहिए और आत्मा के नेतृत्व में जीवन जीना चाहिए। 1. Discernment  विवेक 📖 2 Corinthians 11:14 – “Satan himself masquerades as an a...

2 Peter 2:1

 Here’s 2 Peter 2:1 in a few translations: KJV : “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.” ESV : “But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.” NIV : “But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.” Explanation This verse is Peter’s warning about false teachers who would infiltrate the church. “False prophets among the people” Refers back to Israel’s history, where false prophets constantly misled ...

Matthew 24:24

 Here’s Matthew 24:24 in a few translations: KJV : “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” ESV : “For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.” NIV : “For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” Explanation This verse is part of Jesus’ Olivet Discourse , where He describes the events before His return. “False Christs, and false prophets” Refers to people who claim to be the Messiah or speak with prophetic authority but are impostors. History records several such figures (both in the 1st century and throughout church history), but Jesus warns of more to come, especially before the end. “Shall shew great signs and wonders” These false leaders won’t just...
