Pray Your Way Out of Here

I believe I got a revelation from God the other day, and while that happens all the time, I think this one will be very useful to other people, so I am writing about it.

The tribulation is coming. The Bible makes that clear. During the tribulation, life on Earth will be more miserable than ever. People, trees, and fish will be killed off. Animals will kill people. Plagues will abound. Starvation and lack will sweep the world. Nobody in his right mind would want to be here while all this is happening.

Before the tribulation, the rapture will come. People who are close to God will be taken to heaven alive, to celebrate the wedding of Yeshua. The Bible says the church is his bride. The tribulation and wedding will last 7 years, and whether you experience it as a time of horrible suffering or a big party will depend on where you are.
So how can the tribulation happen if people are praying for the world? Won’t God listen to them?

God grants our prayers. Christians know this. He doesn’t grant every request, because we pray incorrectly most of the time. We ask for stupid things, or we ask without faith or love. We ask while we’re immersed in sinful behavior that blocks the answers. But when we ask correctly, we get what we want. It would not make sense for the tribulation to take place while a lot of people are praying. They would pray for God to mitigate it.

God has to remove people who are close to him from the world before the tribulation can happen. This is why the rapture comes before the tribulation. He won’t want us here asking him to show the world mercy. In addition, he will not want us to be here to suffer with people who rejected him. Plagues are not for the righteous.

What else do we know about God? Here’s one thing: we are supposed to love him. This is the most important commandment, according to God himself. Yeshua, who is God, said it. He even put it above obedience.

We are supposed to be grateful to God, and grateful children show their love for parents by doing things for them. But how do you do things for God? He isn’t hungry. He doesn’t need shelter. He has no diseases. He can defeat all of his enemies.

Yeshua made it clear that when we do things for others, we do them for him. We show our love for him by doing charity. If you give money to a poor person to pay his light bill, for example, it’s as though you took pity on Yeshua himself.

Of course, churches barely mention this. The dead churches are too busy embracing perversion and teaching rules. The Holy Spirit churches are too obsessed with taking people’s money.

They don’t teach us how to obey the most important commandment. It’s astounding, if you think about it.

Intercession is one form of charity. You take time out of your day to pray for God to help other people, expecting him to grant your requests. It’s not a small thing, regardless of what leftists like to say on Twitter these days. It’s more powerful than direct action, by far.

We are told to intercede not just for people we like, but for people who are hateful. Jesus himself did this as he was being crucified.

So, if you add it all up, you get this: if you’re a prodigious intercessor, God will want you off the earth before the tribulation. If you’re down here showing your love for God by praying for both nice people and the obstreperous and vile, you are using God’s power to hold back disaster. The tribulation, which has to come, can’t come while intercession is blocking it.

For these reasons, I believe that if you make a practice of interceding a lot every day, you are likely to be taken in the rapture.

Interceding has other benefits. God blesses people who do what he tells them, and also, it appears that when wicked people can’t receive the blessings you ask for, they go back to you. Interceding makes you more like God in your heart. It also helps you enter and stay in his presence.

I am trying to put this revelation to work every day. Hope it works for everyone who reads this.
