"Signs of the times" are Prevalent times

"Global Economical-Meltdown
Prevalent Signs of the times"...
What seemed too far into the future forty years ago, it is now prevalent for these present times. Sermons on the "Second coming", "Jesus is coming like a thief in the night", "The mark of the beast", and "666". Songs with words like "There's no time to change your mind, the time has come and you've been left behind" was what got people to run to the altar. Thousands of people repenting, for salvation is at hand. Chapter 13 of the book of Revelation is the foundation of these denotations.

I wrote a letter this past week to a few Prophets, Apostles, Pastors and friends of mine stating my concern about Global Economical financial downfalls that face many nations.

Here is my letter to my colleagues:
"To my Mentors, Apostles, Pastors, and Friends of mine"

As our nation embarks in an election, as the world feast their eyes towards the western world, "The United States of America"; I'm reminded growing up in the sixties and seventies that these times would be prevalent.

The movie "The thief in the night" made such an impact of foretelling of future events to come. Pastors, evangelist, singers preaching and writing songs about the "End Times".

This past week as I intriguingly glued myself to the news to hear that many other nations are being affected by America's economical meltdown, many other nations on their own merits are following The United States in a recession.

Is this the beginning or has the "GLOBAL SHOE" footprinted itself into this "One World Bank"? This is not a new revelation only reiterating what has already been revealed through the word of God in the book of Revelations Chapter 13.

Do the nations of the world have a plan already in their back pockets to proceed with a "One World Bank"? This past week G-7 Global Agreements are in action. President Bush pledges global cooperation.

Is revival eminent before major disaster reciprocates? Is God preparing his people for "What is to come"?

For the past six months I have been sharing with my wife, a feeling of anticipation, a feeling of anxiety and I can't get my bearings if this is a personal,or is it my local church or is it a global kinda feeling that something is going to happen which is good but yet eminent in God's timing.

I am writing to you and await an affirmation of agreement on the subject. This is what is my spirit! I have a hunger for Gods presence and His annointing to be able to bring an awareness to the body of Christ.

I share my thoughts with you for personal direction and also thank those who have embrace me and continue to have confidence in our ministry. I include you also in my prayers.

Thank you for the embracement into the fold of Prophetic, Apostolic, Ministerial Alliances that you maintain locally.

Sincerely,
Rev. Gil Ybarra

Dear Gilbert:
I feel your spiritual discernment over the past six months is valid. What is this shift is another question to find answers. I see a great harvest taking place as the next major event before the one world government is established. Things might be going that direction, but I am seeing the harvest as the next "Destination on our map". This does not make me right or you wrong. I appreciate hearing from you and seeing you find your voice to speak up. Keep up the good work and move forward in your calling. I appreciate you greatly.

Pastor Greg

I can validate your feelings. Last year the Lord showed me a bank surrounded with nothing, but pennies. He also showed me a vision of an open Bible with a verse in red. It was the verse in Revelations, "Behold I come as a thief, blessed is he who keeps watch..."
Don't despair though, I have seen Jesus, and the rapture, and it is all worth it!

Love, Mindy Carcich

God Bless you, John Carcich, for sharing this e-mail from Pastor Gilbert with me!

As one who has studied the Bible my whole life, with special emphasis on the end-times, I believe that we are in the very last of the "last days." No one who believes the Bible should be so foolish as to predict when Jesus will take His church out of this world, but neither should anyone one who believes the Bible be unaware of the signs of the times. My personal belief, speaking for myself, is that the "catching away" of the church is imminent, that it could happen at any time...
I believe First Thessalonians 4:13--18 is about to happen! However, I urge everyone reading these comments, regardless of how you see prophetical events, to follow the teachings of Jesus, to rejoice in Him as we are taught in Philippians, chapter 4, to know that the joy of the Lord is our strength, and to look up.....for our redemption draws near!
Blessings to all...take time to pray, TODAY !!!

Don't panic, I am not saying that the "Rapture" is around the corner? But we can surely say, these are signs of the times! AMEN!
