I went to Church this morning feeling sort of bummed in the beginning, but also glad as at the end of the service, numerous people had gone up to the front and confessed and proclaimed Jesus Christ as their God and Savior.
Brothers and sisters, please don't be disheartened or discouraged yet! He is still coming
There are still souls out there that will have to come to repentance. I'm personally looking to the Day of Atonement at this point.
But please go to your scripture, to GOD's word and see what is true and what is to come! Maranatha!

In 2 Peter 3:3-4. Peter writes the following:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
Then a few verses down in 2 Peter 3:9, Peter says:
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
There has to be scoffers first. Saying, where is Jesus?
In Habakkuk 2:3, it says:
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
In the NLT translation, a more simple and easier to read version says:
If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently,
for it will surely take place.
It will not be delayed.
In Hebrews 10:32-39 (KJV)
32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
In verse 37, it is similar to Habakkuk 2:3. Here's also a NLT translation of the same KJV:
37 “For in just a little while, the Coming One will come and not delay.
38 And my righteous ones will live by faith. But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.”
In Matthew 25:1-13, it says:
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 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.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Let's just keep waiting, and keep watch. I dislike seeing everyone discouraged. We are to live with Faith in Him and in His promise to us!
Hope this speaks to you guys. Love yall.
