Dear Gary
I think that was sad  when people on the site did not want to receive what you have personaly experienced and used only some man made sort of thought constructions, by taking some words from bible and aply it according what they think, and saying it MUST be so and can not be the way you experienced it. I have also seen in reality of spiritual powers how neither God, nor devil respect some of those doctrins man (theologs) made presenting it as the truth that must function.

You wrote:"I HATE to stand out !As I do not like ANY glory or up lifting of any kind .I would hate to give my name on them or cause any too think more of me" .
I know what you mean, I do not like it aither, and I know it is dangerous for us that devil can tempt  us with pride.
But I believe we have to fight such temptations, and not to run away. Devil is also tempting us with false humility. that is when God has equipt his child his saint with spiritual gifts, and that child says: no I am unworthy,  I do not want to be seen I want Jesus to be seen. But you forget that unsaved people can see Jesus only in his children : in YOU. And Jesus said we should be as that town on the mountain that is seen from far away, and that light is not hidden under some wessel but put on the candle stick, and in the same way also we should shine with works that God does through us. That will glorify God.!!!! It is truth that people have a tendency to look too much on people when God makes a miracle, but you can corrigate that and teach people not to do so and tell them : this did Jesus not me! ( I know that specialy in US Churches have bad habit to clap hands too much  to preachers and evangelists but you can cut that, and teach them it is not right). All this should not stop you from serving God standing out there and doing his works praying for sick, casting demons and giving out your testimony in public.
You wrote : "I do not write well or speak that well .".  Gary can you not see that this qualifies you better than others to stand up in public, in pulpit, or in streets and serve him?   God is clearly teling us in bible how he likes to show all those who think how highly skilled, educated, clever, well speaking , and in worldly good maner educated people smooth and high possition important people ( pastors , bishops,...) how they in themselves in flesh  are nothing in Gods ayes ( do not call anyone father, nor rabi, teacher... you are just servants) and how all such superfitial by world admired abilities and things and position mean nothing in His kingdom and IN SERVING HIM in POWER OF HOLY SPIRIT.!
God loves to take a guy on whom superfitial people might look down on since he can not speak well,  and use him much more powerfully than best and most admired theologs, JUST to show that it is Holy Spirit in that man, and Childlike obedience that is what is important, not human capabilites. Gideon had to let go most of his soldiers, so people would see that battle was won by Gods power, not by abilites and strength of people.
I thik you would be perfect instrument of His will, out there serving God. Sure it is great that you serve him through internet, But God gave you also gifts of healing, and to utilise that, you need to get in contact with people.
Please understand me well. I am not trying to tell you what you should do. Only God can do it. I do not know precisly your situation and what is Gods will for your life. I only see that you have contact with God which very few people have and the gifts few people have and so I am trying to incourage you to believe that God can and want to use you more than you imagine. If you will stay humble in all that service, than it will be OK.
You should not care what people who read about Jesus but never met him in closer way and do not have the same relation and practical experience of Him and his power as you have,  tell to you that is negative or discouraging .
There are things we can not figure out by head, we can only experience them.

You might start to invite people to your home to tell them about Jesus, pray for them, for sick, explain bible to them and soon you can have a home church where God can equipt saints with spiritual gifts and train them through you to go out AND MAKE OTHER DISCIPELS.
Try to offer young people that you can teach them how to be filled By HOLY SPIRIT and use Gods power.
That is making discipels.
Church has forgotten that Jesus has called us to make disciples, they usualy make only good listeners, consumers  from people who are tought how to come to Church and CONSUME, not how to give out. Most of Churches ( at liest here in Europe) are just ONE MAN SHOW, where pastor is the only actor, where people has no chance to learn and test it out practicly to be disciples and to give out. 1 Corinth 14: 26 is showing us how it should be in CHurch, how people should be active IN HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS GIFTS, not passive. And this is something you can teach them in small group or in big Church it does not matter, What matters is you have what it takes : HOLY SPIORIT AND HIS GIFTS  and LIVE REAL EXPERIENCE and testimony  of it, not only theories of how it should work!!!

I will send you here a letter and contact to my friend Adrian Simila, I do not know how far is his place from you, but I am sure he would be happy to have a man like you to serve God in his team. You could see if you could some how cooperate ( tell him greetings from me). I know you have your family, but perhaps you could help them to go to some New Age festivals together to talk there to people about Jesus and pray for sick.

 This is contact to my friend and his service:

Yes Bronzesnake,
You realy could be right about that trump, and I might be wrong.
But for me, that was the only clear word indicating that rupture would come before antichrist, beast and tribulation.
All the other explanations and " proofs" I have ever heard (or read here) "Church age" , stop of "clock" counting weeks from Daniel and so on, are only asumptions, speculations and possible explanations, very much the same sort of argumentation as Wittness of Jehova use.
I am not in any way looking down, or dissregarding such studies and attempts to find the truth, ( some of them might hit the nail) but I do not like when those are presented as sure evidence, insted of POSSIBLE , with such a poor evidence ( no evidence only indicie, that can be explained aither way)  at hand.

Hallo Gary
I have a question to you.
More and more I read what you wrote in differnt forums, this question is comming back to me.

The question is do you serve God in full time???
 
If you do not yet, I would strongly suggest to you to ask God if it is not His will for your life.
I have very, very strong feeling that you are a tool, that God can use to save many thousands of people whoom few people can reach in the same way as  you ( or not realy you but God in you).
I know you have a big family that folows Jesus, so your time on earth sure is not wasted, yet ask if your time on earth could not be used even more effitiently in full time service to Him.

It is great with pastors and evangelists who can reason out different things with help of their mind and teological education of the bible, and teach it others,
yet many people need to hear from someone who have had the living experience of what bible says NOW, so they can see it works even today and that God of bible is LIVING God acting today the same way as He did 2000 years ago.

I am thinking specialy of those who as my friends from New Age who are looking for God, but got dissapointed by Churches where they met only doctrins, words and teology, no testimony about  Living, today  acting God.
This is what happened to me too. I thoght that Christians had only words promisses that after death we will see, but no power or evident, acting presence of God, so I turned to Gurus, meditations and that sort of ocult rubbish, since there I could see evidence of more power than in Churches I visited.
When I got saved by mighty power of Holy Spirit ( who healed me in1minute),I was  happy to be saved, yet I was so sad why no Christian told me before that Christians do not have only words, but also presence of LIving God acting through them with power, and I wasted 12 years unnecceserily looking for LIVING God in wrong direction.
Even if blessed are those who can belive without seeing, yet much more are those ( specialy here in Europe) who simply need to hear testimony like yours, before they can even consider that God exists and that bible is not only fiction.
I understand you serve God,but if you do not serve him full time, consider to send your testimony to Full Gospel Business man fi.  on:          www.fgbmfi.org      and be member ( it is ecumenical) since there what God gave to you could be used powerfuly ( events there are mainly build on testimonies, praying for sick..)and it could be your way in to full time service eventualy after some time.
Are you from US ? which town? do you serve (wittness) alone or also with some church ?
Lot of blessings
Mysak

Well Bronzesnake
 I really do wish you are right when you wrote:"Thank God we will not be here to suffer the consequences."
But as I wrote in disscusion concerning pre trib. ruption, the only clear time indication I found in Bible for pre trib. rup. is the last trumpet Paul talks about.
All the other reasonings I read there are only POSSIBLE explanations, nothing that is supported with such a direct word from bible as the last trumpet. If you can ignore that last trumpet as meaning something else, than you can ignore almost anything quoted from Revelation for support of pre trib. rupt.
Mysak
P.S. I do not say I am right, But in absence of clear evidence I respect the only clearly time indicating written word. If that is not correct, than even antichrist defeating saints might refer to the Church, in such a case.

Comet strike surprisingly more likely  
For immediate release
20 October 2004
Research conducted by a Cardiff University astronomy scientist suggests that a comet colliding with Earth is actually more likely than was previously believed.

Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe, Honorary Professor Bill Napier and research student Janaki Wickramasinghe of Cardiff University&#8217;s Centre for Astrobiology believe that some comets are not visible using current astronomical scanning equipment. They argue that if this is the case, international programmes designed to detect near-Earth asteroids, and ways to reduce the worst effects of them colliding with Earth may need to be urgently reviewed.

Professor Wickramasinghe said, "It&#8217;s possible that we are missing many of these Earth-threatening objects and we need to think again about mitigating strategies - some of which assume decades or centuries of warning before impact."

The team has found that the surfaces of inactive comets, if composed of loose,

fluffy organic material like cometary meteoroids, develop such small reflectivities - they appear invisible. The near-Earth objects may therefore be dominated by a population of fast, kilometres-wide bodies, too dark to be seen with current surveys.  

A new NASA mission will scan the entire sky with an infrared telescope - like a powerful set of night vision goggles to search for cool, or failed, stars, called brown dwarfs, and also dark comets and cometary fragments, of the type proposed by Professor Wickramasinghe and his team, that pose a previously unrecognised threat to our planet.

PS.
Mysak writes: it looks in Revelation as if 2 such things will hit earth, one will destroy many ships, the other poisen waters.

Hallo Gary
You have had lot of experiances with God to share to others and it looks also you have great relationsship with Jesus.
How about asking God if He would like to use you in some sort of home groups where you could guide people closer to God?
As Jesus said, harvest is great and not so many workers to do it.
Even if there would be lot of theologicaly studied pastors, sometimes they use language that common  people on the streets do not understand, or it sounds strange to them, and you might be the only one they will listen to.
Think also about recording those testimonies of yours on the tape and give them to the people after you prayed for tapes.
Such a tapes can get "the life of their own" , go around through the nation, and people will copy them and meny will be saved without you even knowing about it( till you see them in heaven)!!!
I have seen it over and over again how it works!
 ( therefore I do not like preaching tapes with copy right - it is so unChristian mentality,)
