The third quality that a Christian must possess to not be thrown into "Outer Darkness", is to have the "anointing" to both accomplish God's work, and to also see the truth concerning the coming events in the Great Tribulation.

 Just as we saw the first two qualities spoken of by Jesus to the Laodecian Church, show up in the first two parables, we will now see the third quality that is twofold, show up in the next two parables.

 Again Jesus is speaking to the Laodician Church,

 "I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see." Rev. 3:18

 In the third parable of the Ten Virgins we will see the third quality with respect to seeing the truth concerning the Great Tribulation and those events therein.."Anoint thine eyes with eyesalve" that thou mayest see. See what? See what is coming upon the world.

Something will happen at a later juncture of time (the abomination of desolation-Matt. 24:15), that will "wake up" many Christians, but for them it will be too late to be part of the protected ones. Salvation yes, Protection , No!!

"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

 In order to become one of the ones protected during the Great Tribulation, one must now, after he has been saved, when all his sin is forgiven cease from sinning and eat the word of God at every meal, and hang it around his neck continually, now during this time or he will fall, (not cease from sin).

 To those that are already saved as you read this book, the first event to clue you in that the Tribulation has begun (and will last for 2300 days) is the first major abomination that is committed by the

 Antichrist, the son of perdition. You had better anoint your eyes with eyesalve to SEE (True seeing includes understanding) the truth concerning the prophecies about the time of the end.

 "And arms shall stand on his part and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and (they) shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

 Therefore God working in you, allowing Christ to be formed in you, must be completed by the beginning of the last 3 1/2 years which is the beginning of the outer darkness.

 Now let's look at the third parable of the Ten Virgins which describes this "anointing to see" quality that is needed to not be cast into the outer darkness without the protection of God.

 Many different intrepretations of this parable abound in Christendom, but I want to only mention the most prominent two in my opinion, here. The first is simply this.

 Five of the ten foolish virgins, who are Christians, are left behind at the "time of the rapture at the beginning of the tribulation", to endure the tribulation it brings with it because they were not ready.

 There is some truth in this interpretation, but it is mixed with some error, and this brings confusion concerning all matters that are involved.

 The second most popular interpretation, is that at the "marriage of the lamb", at the beginning of the tribulation, the church is raptured, those being the five virgins that had oil in their lamps. The other five virgins were not Christians, therefore, they were left behind and not raptured.

 Again, we have some truth, but again it is mixed with error, thus confusion ensues about all things related to the issue of the rapture.

The who, what, when, where and why's of the rapture and the tribulation, and the resulting of countless of scripture verses are taken out of context to build a false doctrine.

I again want to reaffirm, that many who teach these things, teach them from a pure heart, and are Godly men who are sincere, but SINCERELY WRONG.

"Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom." Matthew 25:1

The ten virgins are ALL Christians. Christians in scripture are always likened unto virgins. Only the bride (Christians) go out to meet the bridegroom (Jesus). And all this is describing the "kingdom of heaven ", coming to the Earth!

We'll see in verse 10, that they go out to meet him (Jesus) for the marriage to take place at this time, and the door to the marriage is shut. THIS IS NOT THE RAPTURE!!!! And the marriage of the Lamb does not take place immediately following the rapture, regardless when the rapture takes place, be it at the beginning, middle, or the end of the tribulation. We'll discuss that in detail in the next segment of this chapter. Just remember what I just said for now.

 "And five of them were wise, and five of them were foolish

 Lamps are used to shine light into the darkness, so that you can see. You must have the "anointing" from the Holy Spirit to understand and see the prophetic future coming.

 "And at midnight (the middle (mid) of the darkness of the tribulation) there was a cry made, Behold the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him ( join him, become one with him, marry him)

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps;

And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil (anointing) for our lamps are gone out."

 The foolish had no anointing with which to see clearly what was about to happen, nor did they have any anointing to use their talents in the forthcoming 3 1/2 year Great Tribulation.

 "But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves."

 Just as Jesus told the Laodician Church to go and buy eyesalve, that thou mayest see, we see the wise Virgins giving the same direction to the other five virgins. They can't give their oil (anointing) to them, for they know only the Holy Spirit can give do that.

 "And while they went to buy (eyesalve), the bridegroom (Jesus) came, and they that were ready (those that had Great faith, Their wedding garments (Righteousness) on, and their Eyes Anointed with Eyesalve), went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut (They were counted (numbered) worthy to escape all the things now coming upon the world, for they had truly come out of Babylon and will not partake of the plagues sent to Babylon.).

"Afterward (after the marriage and numbering of the bride that Jesus would return for) came also the other virgins (five foolish ones) saying, Lord, Lord open to us."

The terrible things of the seven trumpets and seven vials were beginning to be poured out upon the earth and they were not being protected. They asked the Lord to open the door of his protection, and protect them, as the other five wise virgins were being protected form the "beast".

 Jesus said in Matthew 7 "Depart from me ,for I never knew you," They were never Christians. He never knew them. But here in Matt 25, Jesus doesn't understand them. There is a vast difference.

 And we need go no further than the 25th Chapter of Matthew, where we have already seen the parable of the ten virgins. Immediately following the parable of the Ten Virgins comes the parable of the Talents.

 When God gives us gifts to use in his behalf to do his will, he expects us to use them. For those who are not using them immediately before the beginning of the last 3 1/2 years, they will be taken away from them and given to those who are using what God had earlier given them.

 To the servant to whom the Lord had given five talents who gained five additional talents, the Lord had this to say to him.

 "His Lord said unto him, Well done , thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over many things, I will make thee ruler over many: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. 

 This servant who had been faithful, even during time of trouble to use the abilities that the Lord had given him was rewarded with the joy of the Lord

 And to the servant to whom the Lord had given two talents, this was said to him.

 "His Lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."

 But what of those Christians who do not use the gifts, talents of God that have been given to them to bring the kingdom of heaven to earth before the Great Tribulation begins ?

 "Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strewed.

 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into OUTER DARKNESS : there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matthew 25:24-30

Let it be abundantly clear, that the Lord of the Christians that do not use the gifts and talents that he has given them the anointing whereby they have been anointed to do so), their gifts will be taken from them, and they will be cast into the last 3 1/2 years, of the Great Tribulation, without the protection of their Lord. They will be cast into OUTER DARKNESS.

 They will have proved to themselves and God that they are of no use to him. Verse 25 says," And I was afraid, and hid thy talent in the earth .....".

 Many bible scholars teach that the first 3 1/2 years of the seven year tribulation will be good and the last terrible when the "Antichrist Beast" turns on them. Nothing could be further from the truth. The first 3 1/2 years will be terrible and increasing in severity till the end of the seven years. Many Christians will during the first 3 1/2 years have great fear because they thought they would be removed at the beginning of this 3 1/2 years to be with the Lord (The false secret rapture teaching) Since many horrible things will be happening around them and possibly to them, they will be more interested in saving themselves and their possessions than using the talents God gave them to use during this most difficult time. Their love will wax cold and they as the salt of the earth will loose their savor.

 "Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be trodden under foot of men

 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matthew 5 13-16.

 When because of fear they forsake their gifts from God to hold on to their lives and their possessions, they will loose their possessions and their lives. They will still be Christians worthy of salvation as long as they do deny the blood of the one who died for them. However, they will not be under the protection of God. They will be trodden under foot of men, instead of putting them under the soles of their feet.

 Now that we 've looked into the parable of the Ten Virgins and the Unprofitable servant, I should bring another important thing to your attention.

 At the beginning or within each of these parables, we are told that they concern the "kingdom of heaven".

 In the first parable concerning the Centurion "with faith", it was qualified in verse 12 as, "but the children of The kingdom", Matt.8:12

 In the second parable of the wedding guest, it was qualified in verse 2 as, "The kingdom of heaven", is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son ." Matt.22:2 Not only are we told that it concerns the "KINGDOM OF HEAVEN", but we are told it concerns "A MARRIAGE FOR HIS SON", which is the "EVENT"

 Now in the third and fourth parable, we are not only told that it concerns (1) the kingdom of heaven, and (2) The marriage of the Son of God, but (3) WHEN this event takes place or when it begins.

 "Then shall "the kingdom of heaven" (1) be likened unto ten virgins, which "took their lamps, and went forth"{(3) THE WHEN to "meet the bridegroom" (2) Matthew 25:1

 "For the "kingdom of heaven" is as a man traveling into a far country, "who called his own servants", THE WHEN} and DELIVERED UNTO THEM HIS GOODS." Matthew 25:14

 When Jesus calls his servants, they go out to meet him. They are called unto the "marriage of the Lamb", and He gives them his goods.

 In this fourth and last parable, it all comes together in completion.

Those of the servants of God, who have been faithful, both in having Great Faith through enduring trials and tribulations (especially the first 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation), and have been faithful in allowing God to work in their lives to remove sin and to give them a perfect Garment without spot and blemish, and who also have the "anointing" in the parable of the Ten Virgins, he now in the fourth parable, gives them his goods.

 They enter into the Great Tribulation, the last 3 1/2 years, with Jesus' goods. They have become one with him. They are his body in the earth that take their order from the head, Jesus. They are the bride that he will return for, without spot or wrinkle or blemish. They are without sin, and the devil cannot touch them. They have become like Jesus. They have his goods. This is the "marriage of the Lamb."

 Those that have been faithful in acquiring these three qualities will bring Jesus' goods to the earth during the last 3 1/2 years of the Great Tribulation, and they will have their reward, the JOY OF THE LORD

 "His Lord. said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." Matt.25:21

 The prayers of the saints, that Jesus has asked them to pray at "The Sermon on the Mount" is now fulfilled in its totality. "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."Matt.6:10

I want for a moment to go back to the parable of the "Wedding Banquet", to look at this most famous saying that, "MANY ARE CALLED , BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN. "

 Those Christians that do not allow Christ to be formed within them will no longer be the salt of the earth. They will have lost their savor and are good for nothing , but to be trodden under foot.

 Resist the devil and he will flee from you. But sin opens the door for persecution from him.

Those that cannot stop sinning, by allowing God to work in them and cause them to keep his commandments, will not be the bride of Christ, that Jesus will return for, but will be taken out of the way, taken home to be with him, to fulfill scripture.

 Christians that enter the Great Tribulation with sin in their life, will be cast into OUTER DARKNESS!!!

 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth there. There will be sorrow and much pain there. There will be many there. Many have been called to this hour upon the earth, but few are chosen to be numbered with those who have put their trust in God and his ability to keep his word. God will keep his covenant with those who believe he will. and diligently seek him.

 Those that seek first the kingdom of God and the goods that Jesus has promised them,  God shall add unto them the provisions they need during this time of Great Tribulation.

 Those that seek protection by their own efforts will be in need of a sacrifice for their sin of unbelief.

The difference between the old covenant and the new covenant for which Jesus shed his blood that we that should believe in it would be sealed in it, is that under the old covenant YOU had to keep the commandments of God by your OWN strength, and when you were unable to do so, the blood of animals had to be sacrificed for your sins.

 But when you realize you cannot keep his commandments by your own strength, BUT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD, you are ready to receive God's blessing. The new covenant. HE WILL CAUSE YOU TO KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.

 No longer do you have to try to keep his laws and commandments, but he will cause you to keep them. Glory be to God.

 Greater is he that is in you, THE HOLY SPIRIT, causing you to keep God's, his laws, than he that is in the world, THE DEVIL, who would cause you to sin. Resist him and he will flee.

 As a Christian, it is no longer your responsibility to, by your ability, keep God's commandments. It God's responsibility, and his ability that will cause you to keep his commandments.

 Your part in all this is to believe that he will, because his word says that he will. It is faith in him, not you or your ability.

It is your faith that he will, not your unbelief that you can't stop sinning, that is your VICTORY.

 So when should you start believing God? NOW !!!

 Why? Because tomorrow may be too late and the Tribulation is just around the corner and would you want to be CAST INTO OUTER DARKNESS ????

Most Jews will understand perfectly what is meant by the outer court and the corresponding reference of the outer darkness.

 Both the tabernacle and the temple had an outer court where the elements impacted it. It rained on the outer court. The sun shined upon it, and darkness fell upon it. There was no protection from the elements in the outer court. Darkness fell upon the outer court when the sun did not shine.

 But in the inner court, behind the veil, God's glory always shined. There was protection from the elements. There was never any darkness behind the veil. And sin could not stand behind the veil, in the presence of God.

 The temple of God (the building made with hands) had three major parts to it. (1) The Outer Court (2) The Holy Place and (3) The Holy of Holies, behind the veil.

 The temple of God ( the one not made with hands, Christians), also has 3 major parts to it that correspond to the temple made with hands. (!) The thirty fold (2) The sixty fold and (3) The hundredfold.

 "But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it, which also bearteth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty." Matt.13:23

 The thirty fold have salvation by their faith in the blood of Jesus Christ to save them. (The Outer Court)

 The sixty fold go further with God, and they are filled with the spirit of God and have the gifts of the Spirit manifested in their lives. (The Holy Place)

The hundredfold go the limit with God and allow Jesus to be formed in them.They walk in the Spirit and do not fulfill the desires of the flesh. They have ceased from their sin. (The Holy of Holies)

 Many other illustrations of this thirty, sixty, and hundredfold group of believers are found in the Word. We will discuss them later in this chapter and look at the chart depicting such.

 What we want to look at for the moment is that which gave light to each of these three areas within the temple or tabernacle. The outer court got is light from the sun. At the close of the day, when the sun went down, there was darkness in the outer court

 The inner court had two divisions. The Holy of Holies and the Holy Place.

 The Holy Place was lit by the Lampstand or Golden Candlestick

 The Holy of Holies was illuminated by the Shekinah glory of God.

 The Jews associated the outer darkness with the outer court, that when the sun went down at the end or the close of the day, there was darkness.

 Now, the outer court is representative of Christians that have salvation, the thirty fold. The Holy Place is representative of the Pentecostal Christians, those that move in the gifts of the Spirit, or those baptized in the Holy Spirit, the sixty fold. The Holy of Holies is representative of those that go all the way with the Lord, the hundredfold.

 "Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant...." Hebrews 9:1-4

 The golden censer which is normally found in the Holy Place, is now in the Holy of Holies, behind the veil, where the glory of God illuminates it. The question one might ask is why? Well once a year as Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Exodus reveals, the priest took the golden censer behind the veil. This was done on the Day of Atonement, when the high priest was permitted to go behind the veil and stand before the presence of God's glory. And of utmost importance, he was to wear. only holy garments woven with white linen.

 "But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people." Heb. 9:7

 This is the division brought within the Holy Place or the sixty fold. Some will go all the way with God, and they will go behind the veil where there is protection. The rest of the sixty fold will be placed with the thirty fold. Remember the parable of the talents? It shall be taken from him and given to him that hath ten talents. This is the unprofitable servant. This servant took what God had given him and had no increase, no profit !!!. And what happens to him?

 "And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matt. 25:30

 There is now only two groups of Christians. One is behind the veil, with God's protection over them, and the other is cast into OUTER DARKNESS. The inner court and the outer court.

 This altar of incense group that is now behind the veil, represents those that serve the Lord through praise, worship and prayer.

 "And there was given unto me a reed like unto a rod; and the angel stood saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein." Rev. 11:1

 We know that the temple of God now are Christians. Here John is told to measure or count the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. He is told to count the Christians who are his temple, those that worship him and the altar. I believe this is the altar of incense that went behind the veil. The golden censer.

 "But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not, for it is given unto the Gentiles, and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months." Rev. 11:2

 And who or what is the holy city ? The holy city represents the church or Christians who make up the church of God.

 "Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name." Rev. 3:12

 " And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." Rev. 21"2

 The holy city that shall be tread under foot for forty two months is the church of God. More precisely, it is the portion of the church that is the outer court. The one cast into outer darkness.

 It is that sanctuary outside the Holiest of all.

 "For there was a tabernacle made the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary" Heb.9:2

 The other portion of the church (the holy city) which is numbered is the two witnesses, and they prophesy for forty two months protected from the beast. But after their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall overcome them and kill them (Rev.11:7).

 The Book of Daniel speaks of the destroying of both.

 "And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself; and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary, and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined." Dan. 9:26

 Benefits of the Hundredfold

We learned earlier that one benefit of allowing God to bring a hundredfold return of fruit in our lives, is that it would allow us to go behind the veil of God's protection during the 3 1/2 year GREAT TRIBULATION.

 It would keep us from being cast into outer darkness, the outer court, where there is no protection from the beast.

 We learned that when we allowed God's anointing to increase the talents that he gave us, we were called faithful and he would make us ruler over many things and we could enter into the joy of the Lord .

 "His Lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few: I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord." Matt. 25:21

 What is this joy of the Lord and what is this hundredfold fruit

 "And other (seed) fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit a hundredfold." Luke 8:8

 "But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience." Luke 8:15

 Remember also that in the parable of the wedding garment, the one, having not one, was cast into outer darkness, which is what this chapter is about. Then after saying that Jesus said, "For many are called, but few are chosen".

 Well what does that have to do with fruit, you might ask? Well I'm glad you ask such good questions.

 "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit,......." John 15:16

 We are chosen to bring forth fruit. And much fruit at that !!!

 "I am the true vine, and my father is the husbandman.

 "Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, so shall ye be my disciples." John 15:8

 Make no mistake. It is God working in us, and he is working in us to bring forth much fruit in our lives. Many are called, but few are chosen. Is God therefore, a respecter of persons? No!! God forbid. God in his foreknowledge, and omniscience, knew that before we were created, what we would do. Therefore he chooses correctly and makes no mistakes.

 And they are chosen to bring forth fruit. They are chosen to bring forth fruit a hundredfold. They are chosen to bring forth fruit a hundredfold, so they are chosen and numbered. They are the "two witnesses , and the synonymous 288,000." Now let's see the fruit.

We are told that if these things abound in us then we would not be unfruitful in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

I believe that these seven characteristics are the 7 kinds of fruit, that if all of them are present in our life, we will be mature and perfect in our souls This is having fruit a hundredfold.

 I also these are in the order that we should get them as they are told to us. We are to add one to the other until we get to LOVE.

 Perfect love casts out fear.

 II Peter says that if we do all these things we will not sin. I would say that that qualifies as being sinless. And if we are sinless, we have put on that robe of righteousness, that white and pure one, without spot or wrinkle or blemish, and we can go behind the veil. Satan cannot touch us behind the veil. Without sin in our lives, we have closed the door to Satan, the devil and he cannot legally touch or harm us.

 And no good thing can be withheld from us because of our sins, because we don't have any.

 "Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season; he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

 "Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have witholden good things from you" Jeremiah 5:24,25

 When we love the God kind of love, AGAPE, IN ALL THINGS, we have become like him.

 "Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

 Charity never faileth...."I Corinthians 13:1-8

 "And now abideth faith, hope and charity (love), these three, but the greatest of these is charity." I Corn.13:13

 Love is what we should all be looking and moving towards. Because when we reach that goal we have become perfect."

 "Charity never faileth, but whether there be prophecies, the shall fail, whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away,

 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away." I Corn. 13:8-10

 Rest assured that, that which is perfect is come, is not the Bible. It is perfect love in the manchild. And when perfect love is manifested, in believers at the beginning of the Great Tribulation, the manchild that is perfect (mature) is born, exhibiting the hundredfold fruit, then that (those) which have just a part of the fruit, the thirty and sixty fold, they shall be done away.

 Dear brothers and sisters in the Lord. Knowledge of all things concerning the Tribulation will not save you during it. Perfect Love will.

 Last , but not least, there is something else that a hundredfold fruit will benefit us. And I think that the Prosperity Message, has left it out, and that is the reason many ask and don't receive.

 "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, so shall ye be my disciples.

 I ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it unto you.

 PRAY THAT YOU MIGHT BE WORTHY TO ESCAPE ALL THESE THING COMING UPON THE EARTH.     

 This is the real key to getting our prayers answered. If the love of God dwells within us we will ask what his will is and he will give it unto us. If his love dwells within us and we ask things out of his love, there will be no lust, and our prayers will be answered.

 "Ye ask, and receive not because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts" James 4:3

 The manchild will be able to ask and receive in that day of great tribulation, because Jesus will be formed in him. Jesus will abide in him and he will ask only what the Father's will is.

 " A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come, but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ASK, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full." John 6:21-24

 Praying to God and not having our prayers answered brings sadness, not joy. But, if we believe, and ask according to his will, which is what we will do if we ask it in his love, and we have not sin in our lives to withhold good things (prayers) from us, then he will answer our prayers , and give us what we ask.

 THEN OUR JOY WILL BE FULL

 These are truly benefits from having a hundredfold fruit it our lives.

 Work While It Is Light

One thing is certain. The world is waxing worse and worse, but the true church is becoming better and better. But how much time do we have? Not much !!!

 As I have mentioned many times before in this treatise, you must work while there is still time. You must allow Christ (who was Perfect) to be formed in you before the Great Tribulation begins.

 "Arise, shine: for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee;

 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee." Isaiah 60:2

 "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work." John 9:4

 And just what is this work that we shall do ?

 "But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it and bring forth fruit with patience." Luke 8:18

 "In your patience possess ye your souls" Luke 21:19

 "........work out your own salvation with fear and trembling:" Philippians 2:12

 The soul consists of the mind will and emotions. We need to bring these in line with the will of God. This is the working out our own salvation. Our spirits we saved by our faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. It is not by our works but we are saved by grace, lest any man should boast. We need to bear fruit in our soul. Our spirit is already perfect. Our soul and body needs to line up with our spirits. Our body and soul needs to be saved, presented blameless before the Lord.

 "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly, and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." I Thess.5:23

 "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

 "That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;" Philippians 2:13-15

 Work out the salvation of your souls. Bear fruit a hundredfold, so that you can go behind the veil and do it before darkness comes. This outer darkness will come when the age comes to a close, which will begin the Great Tribulation. .
