Westerners tend to waste their time on...WHAT TO DO WHILE WAITINGDr. Stephen Phinney People have had to endure terrifying experiences related to the End Times. While Americans can hide behind their materialism, most countries do not have such luxuries. Most countries see the birth pangs of the End Times openly and congruously.The mental threat of contemplating the End Times turns lives completely upside down. It usually means wars and rumors of wars. For the countries that are in the epicenter of the End Times, who cannot shelter themselves behind materialism, it uproots families, destroys infrastructure, and disrupts food production – one of the leading signs of the End Times. These forces make food hard to find – leading to even more unrest and violence. End Times conflicts are by far the number one cause of hunger, and it’s especially cruel to children, who are clueless about the spiritual dynamics of humanity’s end. Children live in countries ravaged by violence as their state leaders work to take their place at the table of global dominance. The people in these countries are more than twice as likely to be malnourished, which undermines their health, their education, and their futures in discovering the Gospel message of the indwelling Life of Jesus Christ. My wife and I sponsor three children to help combat the devastation of the pre-Rapture calamities ravaging these countries. We are active in developing one-on-one relationships with each other. All three of these kiddos call us “Opa” and “Oma.” While our efforts might not be “world-changing,” we know that the impact of the practical Gospel is real & responsive. Another way we assist in pre-rapture calamities is by providing spiritual, friendship, and psychological support to ministry leaders who live and administer the Gospel in the core epicenter of the headquarters of the coming Antichrist. The point is that we are proactive in what we preach. Writing, producing media, and posting content about the End Times is the easy part. Developing relationships with the people reading or watching our productions is time-consuming but highly rewarding. For example, our short film “Through the Veil” is the most viewed and populated in Europe, more strategically, in the city hosting the European Union. Another example, our statistics reveal that Russia is one of our leading countries of most viewed and read publications. Both of these locations are significant geological areas noted in the End Times prophecies. The authentic believers, the Body of Christ, need to be wide awake and more aware of the “signs” than ever before – alert, watchful, and vigilant, with one eye on the prophetic headlines and the other on the needs of those who are the first-string sufferers of the End Times birth pangs.I believe that the Western culture, particularly America, is one of the more selfish, navel-gazing countries in the world. Westerners tend to waste their time deliberating on foods, diets, politics, fantasies, cartoons, movies, and other superficial things. When I scroll through social media feeds, I am appalled at the level of mindlessness posts and propagation of “things” that matter not to our Lord. And worse yet, the ambivalence to the obvious “signs” of the End Times. Some do a “Z-read” and then return to their obsession over getting a few more “hearts” for their opinionated postings. I then realized that this is to be the mission field for all online indwelt believers. Western thinkers are not only known for being ambivalent but frequently covertly confess they, indeed, are the people of Laodicea, lukewarm believers. In my mind, there is nothing wrong with being on social media. It is horrid to be on social media without viewing it as a ministry. I often tell writers my golden secret. I start with using the illustration of an opened facet gushing forth water, Living Water. As long as the facet is open, defilement and other foreign cultural bacterium and beliefs cannot enter the spiritual plumbing system – our minds. If the facet is turned off, the rusting elements of the depraved thoughts of humanity begin to rust out the infrastructure of our ministries. In due time, we begin to write or post content that shows that we are no different than those we formerly were reaching out to. In the end, as indwelt believers, we become impotent in the transformational elements of the Gospel, which is designed to separate. Let’s face it: when we heard and understood the Gospel via the Holy Spirit, it was typically under the urgency of being delivered from pain, suffering, loneliness, isolation, and overwhelming “feelings” of being separated from God, Jesus Christ, the Body of Believers, and the eternal Kingdom. Fact. We cannot just keep living our lives in the same old way that reflects the life of an unbeliever. We have been given a small window of opportunity to shake the foundation of lost souls regarding the future events that have present implications - as in our Lord using natural disasters, hunger, wars, hostile takeovers, and droves of other “signs” of the times. When we know that Christ is coming again to this earth and the ”why” He is, it should compel us to gather as many as possible before He gathers the Saints. Sadly, this is not the motive for most believers regarding their writings, productions, and postings. So, what shall we do?I might be a prophet type, but I am also an evangelist at heart. My prophecy focus is on this purpose. I sincerely desire that all who read my works increase in the Knowledge of the Holy God and, secondly, that the End Times publications will challenge readers to seek out the absolutes of the Bible, primarily the prophecies that dominate the Scriptures. But I am well aware knowledge is not enough. If not indwelt by Christ, that knowledge is only helpful to readers if it leads them to the Person of Truth, Jesus. Therefore, based on my studies in Christ, here are a few items indwelt believers should do to be separated, or different, due to prophetic Knowledge.
If you find yourself in a place of conviction – repent, refocus, and rejuvenate. Turn your placid, lukewarm tendencies into passionate messages of conviction and Truth. The old worldly ways of writing, speaking, and posting might need to come under the gentle prompting of the Holy Spirit so that you can begin cruising along the pathway of the ministry of Christ in you – a path ultimately leading others away from destruction. When you make that choice, I am certain you will encounter one final “sign” at the conclusion of your life’s journey. Standing before Jesus Christ on that final day, hearing those words, Well done, My faithful servant. Then your ears will begin to ring as He shouts out, Welcome Home.
