WHO THE HOLY SPIRIT IS PART 1


WHO THE HOLY SPIRIT IS
PART 1

The Holy Spirit is a Person.
A person speaks for himself, thinks for himself and talks for himself.
The Holy Spirit is not a new personality on the earth; He is eternal.
He was there at the creation and at the renewal of the earth. He was present when GOD said,
"Let Us make man in Our Image…” (Gen.1:26).
The Bible says,
And The Spirit Of God moved upon the face of the waters.
(Gen 1:2b KJV)
He is The Breath of GOD that flowed through the body of the first man that made man a living being. And man became flesh and blood.

He is The One Who enlightened Adam and revealed the Covenant of Blood.
He spoke to Noah.
It was He Who showed Abel that GOD established the shedding of blood – as acceptable sacrifice; pointing to the Blood of The Lamb, which is the only sacrifice for sin, and showed him the cross.
He is The One Who visited Abraham.
He chose Isaac and anointed Jacob.
He led Moses through the wilderness as He brought Israel out of Egypt.
It was He Who came upon the tabernacle as a cloud and a fire.

By His awesome Power He brought the people into “the Promised Land”.
His Power came upon the tribes of Israel.
He is The One Who chose Judah as the tribe through which The Messiah would come.
His Power came upon the prophets of old from Isaiah to Malachi.
It was He that anointed John The Baptist at the river Jordan.
It was He Who spoke to Zechariah that The Messiah would come in his lifetime.
It was He that came to Elizabeth.
It was He that came upon Mary and anointed her as the mother of The Son Of God.

GOD is three separate Persons.
Yet One GOD. (Not three, but One GOD).
The LORD is One.
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, The Lord is One.
Deut 6:4 NIV

In Isaiah 9:6, GOD THE FATHER is referred to as “The Everlasting Father”. GOD THE SON is called “The Prince of Peace”. And GOD THE HOLY GHOST is introduced as “Wonderful”, “Counsellor”.
He is “The Mighty God”.

God made us also tripartite; spirit, soul and body. And even our Salvation is in a trinity manner. When you became born again your spirit was saved; your soul is being renewed every day and your body which is presently corrupt will be saved on the Resurrection Morning.
You are a trinity!
And so is GOD!

You are a spirit, you have a soul and you live in a body—that’s who you are!

The Holy Spirit is The LORD.
He is The Spirit Of The LORD.

He is The LORD
He is JEHOVAH!
Now The Lord is that Spirit: and where The Spirit Of The Lord is, there is liberty.
2 Cor. 3:17 KJV

Jesus was dependent on The Holy Spirit. He offered Himself through The Holy Spirit. Jesus knew and trusted that The Holy Spirit will disrobe Him of His Heavenly form and give Him a form of flesh; and hence, vindicate Him in Power. Jesus so much depended on Him.
The Son Of God Who is The Eternal Life—The Alpha And Omega—The One Who is The Beginning And The End; Who knows the end from the beginning, trusted and relied on The Holy Ghost.
The Son Of God became The Son Of Man that He might bring redemption to us who were lost in sin. GOD ALMIGHTY Who fills the whole Heaven became a man through the POWER of The Holy Ghost.

Jesus was given Wisdom by The Spirit as He grew up.
By The Spirit He came into Galilee; by The Spirit He came to the Jordan and by The Spirit He was led into the wilderness.
'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,'
says The Lord Almighty.
Zech 4:6 NIV

It is not by might nor by Power…
It is not by information but by Revelation.

And at Jordan, The Holy Spirit said: “This is My Beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased…” (Matt. 3:17).

The Holy Spirit is saying today:
  “Go back to your beginning!
    It is there you will find Power!
    There, you will be sustained.
    There, you will find Longevity!
    There, you will find Strength!

Jesus is your “First Love”.

The Holy Spirit came on time to over-shadow Mary and prepare her for Jesus’ birth in order to fulfill the prophecy:
For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isa 9:6 KJV

He anointed The Son Of God for ministry. No miracle took place until The Son Of Man was anointed by The Holy Spirit. He preached the Gospel and cast out devils by The Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is The Father of The Messiah. Angel Gabriel called Jesus “The Son Of The Highest” (read Luke 1:32). “Unto us Jesus is born, unto us The Son is given”.

The experience of Ananias and Sapphira makes clear what will happen to people who disregard The Spirit.
Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to The Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?
Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God."
When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. Then the young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried
him out and buried him.
About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. Peter asked her, "Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?"
"Yes," she said, "that is the price."
Peter said to her, "How could you agree to test The Spirit of The Lord? Look! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also."
At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.
Acts 5:3-11 NIV

Nobody grieves like The Holy Ghost.
When we sin He grieves.
When we lie He grieves.
When we speak against each other He grieves.
(Read Ephesians 4).

Sin against The Spirit is dangerous. If you don’t understand the works of The Spirit, don’t talk about them; it is better to keep quiet.
Pray that everything you do in your local Christian gathering, and fellowship with Him will be in His perfect Will. Ask Him to be in control of your meetings. Recognize and regard Him as The Boss of the service.

When The Holy Spirit is Boss in our services and meetings, people will begin to receive Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, and healings will begin to take place across the auditorium. An unusual anointing follows the preaching and teaching of GOD’s Word—with an incredible manifestation of GOD’s divine Presence. And a greater number of people will be saved.

In such service, the altar calls seem to be so easy. There’s no begging or pleading. Instantly, people flock to the front for salvation. Just as The Lord promised, The Spirit draws people to Christ. The Holy Spirit honors the service because He is such a welcomed Guest.

If you want to know about Jesus, then you must invite The Holy Spirit.

Daily Covenant Time With GOD




Do you desire to discover for yourself the wonderful treasures of Heaven?
Do you wish to know the Will of God for your life?
Do you have the hunger to know Jesus more and more, personally?
If your answer is yes to all these, then, begin a covenant time with The LORD today!


The Distinct Personality Of The Holy Spirit



The Distinct Personality Of The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is not just a Person, He is God. Coequal with The Father and The Son. The Holy Ghost is perfect, powerful, and glorious.
The Holy Spirit is a Member of the Trinity and yet is a different Personality from The Father and The Son.
The Lord Jesus predicted what would happen to you when you made a place for The Spirit. He said,
Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, Streams of Living Water will flow from within him."
John 7:38-39 NIV

Have you made room for The Holy Spirit?
All He asks is a place in your heart.
God has a detailed Master Plan for your life.

Members of The Godhead are distinct Persons—yet They are One. But when it comes to our personal relationship and communication with “GOD,” and understanding of The Father, Son, and Spirit is essential. Anytime you see God working, you see Him as One GOD. But if you truly know The LORD, you see some distinction in the way The Three Persons Of The Godhead think and in the way They act.

For example, when the Jewish people under the Old Covenant at different times, willfully and knowingly sinned in The Presence of The Father, do you recall what happened?
The Scripture records that they were either punished or slain.
But, Christ The Son dealt differently with those who knowingly and willfully sinned. Consider the case of the Pharisees. Did Christ kill them?
No! He rebuked them.

Don’t misunderstand this. God The Father did forgive, but He also killed, destroyed or punished those who refused to stop rebelling against Him. God The Son, however, responded in another manner.
You ask, “But what about The Holy Ghost?”
 What is His response to a person who knowingly, deliberately sins?”
He reacts differently from even The Father and The Son. The Spirit does not remove them or rebuke them—He convicts them and withdraws His Presence.
The Holy Spirit withdraws The Power Of His Presence when the Church sins against Him.
The Word makes it clear that there are differences or diversities of administration in the Godhead, yet they are One.
But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit
for the common good.
1 Cor. 12:7 NASU
The manifestation of The Holy Spirit in us is the evidence, the spiritual illumination of GOD’s Spirit for the growth and nourishment of The Body Of Christ.

The Father is The Operator.
Jesus is The Administrator.
The Spirit is The Manifest.

The primary work of The Father is that He operates. And The Son administrates the operation of The Father. And The Holy Ghost manifests the administration of that operation.

The Father is The Source of everything that we request from GOD. But The Giver is The Son. And The Power of the Source is The Holy Spirit.
It is The Spirit that completes the process of your healing, deliverance, restoration, miracle et cetera.



Anointed with The Oil Of Gladness



"In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit." 

The Saviour was "a man of sorrows," but every thoughtful mind has discovered the fact that down deep in His innermost soul He carried an inexhaustible treasury of refined and Heavenly Joy. Of all the human race, there was never a man who had a deeper, purer, or more abiding peace than our Lord Jesus Christ.
"He was anointed with the Oil Of Gladness above His fellows."

At this hour the church expects to walk in sympathy with her Lord along a thorny road; through much tribulation she is forcing her way to the crown. To bear the Cross is her office, and to be scorned and counted an alien by her mother's children is her lot; and yet the Church has a deep well of joy, of which none can drink but her own children. There are stores of wine, and oil, and corn, hidden in the midst of our Jerusalem, upon which the saints of God are evermore sustained and nurtured; and sometimes, as in our Saviour's case, we have our seasons of intense delight, for "There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the City of our God."
We rejoice in our King; yea, in Him we exceedingly rejoice, while in His Name we set up our banners. 

Kingdom Come


LORD,
Breathe on me Your “Resurrection Breadth”.

Send down Your Spirit
  Like the wind that brings Your rain.

Send “the Rain of Heaven”
   “The Flood of Your Glory”.
Till Your Rain becomes a Flood
  and the Knowledge of Your Glory fills the Earth.

Let Your Kingdom Come
Let Your Will be done
  on Earth as it is in Heaven…

The Most Important Covenant Of All



The Most Important Covenant Of All

The most important covenant of all is the one God made to you through
His Son Jesus Christ when He brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead through the blood of the everlasting Covenant.
May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Heb 13:20-21 NIV
The Holy Spirit enters your life as the result of this eternal Covenant God made with you regarding your salvation.
It is precious beyond all preciousness to stand at the altar of our Good Shepherd to see Him bleeding there as the slain Holy Lamb of GOD, and then to hear His Blood speaking Peace to all His flock, Peace in our conscience, Peace between Jew and Gentile, Peace between man and his offended Maker, Peace all down the ages of eternity for Blood-washed men.

Thou Great Keeper of the sheep, we the people of Thy pasture bless Thee with our whole hearts even as we see Thee slain for us.

Work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
Read the Bible and devout yourself to prayer and worship of The True GOD, daily.
Your life will never be the same; you'll have a very happy life while on this earth and live forever with Jesus in Heaven.
GOD bless you.

LORD Anoint Me!


LORD,
  Anoint my heart for worship.
  Anoint my mind for meditation.
  Anoint my head for protection.
  Anoint my eyes for revelation.
  Anoint my lips for praise.
  Anoint my hands for prosperity.
  Anoint my feet for good tidings.

The Woman Who Fears The Lord



Women should be in submission first, to The Lord, then to their husbands and to authorities both in the Church and in the civil society as the Law says (1 Cor. 14:34).
"Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the Word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.  Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right
and do not give way to fear."
1 Peter 3:1-6 NIV

Women, like the men should reference and worship God wholeheartedly in the home, in the Church and everywhere. They are as well expected to be of good service to their husbands and to the Church of Christ.

The Christian woman should be a virtuous woman—"a wife of noble character".
She should serve and honor The Lord faithfully.
She should be prayerful.
She should be submissive and faithful to her husband.
She should be positive in thought, speech and character.
She should speak with wisdom.
She should be hard working and wise in management in every sphere of life.

She should be profitable to her home, to her local Christian assembly and to the society as a whole.

She should be respectful to everyone.
She should extend her hands to the needy, as this is a service to The Lord.

A woman's good service to her husband and family is also a service to The Lord (Proverbs 31:10-31).
She should continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

A woman who is an overseer or deacon in the Church should be trustworthy in statement, gentle, peaceable, above reproach, free from the love of money, the wife of one husband, temperate, prudent, respectful, hospitable, teachable and able to teach.
She must also have a good reputation with those outside the Church so that she will not fall into temptation.
A woman of true godly value should not be a gossiper, or a talkative.
She must manage her children and household well.
A woman who fears and honors The Lord is clothed with strength and dignity.

 "Many women do noble things,
  but you surpass them all."
  Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
  but a woman who fears The Lord is to be praised.
 
  Give her the reward she has earned,
  and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
                                      Proverbs 31:29-31 NIV

The Personality Of The Holy Spirit



The Personality Of The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit has a Personality, and I want to share Him with you.
Let’s take for instance, what makes a man a person?
Is it his physical body? I think not. I’m sure you have been to a funeral and have seen a body lying in a casket. Are you looking at a person? No! You are looking at a dead body. What makes a person is not the body. Instead, the person is what comes out of the body. Emotions, will, intellect, feelings—these are just a few of the characteristics that make you a person and give you a personality.

Beyond salvation, beyond being baptized in water, beyond the infilling of The Spirit, The "Third Person Of The Trinity" is waiting for you to meet Him personally. He yearns for a lifelong relationship.

For instance; if you had dialed my telephone number two years ago and we got acquainted by phone and if we had continued our conversations but had never met, what would you really know about me?
You would know the sound of my voice as it comes through the phone. But, you wouldn’t recognize me if you saw me on the street.
But then, the day comes when we meet face to face. All of a sudden you reach out to shake my hand. You see what I look like, the color of my hair and eyes, what kind of clothes I wear. Perhaps we go out for a meal, and you learn whether I like coffee or tea.
You learn volumes about people when you meet them in person.

Who is The Holy Spirit?
I want you to know He is the most beautiful, most precious, loveliest Person on the earth.
GOD’s WORD is Spirit and Life. His WORD is Truth.
The Holy Spirit is this Spirit and He is The Spirit Of Truth.
The Bible was written by The Holy Spirit. He used men from all walks of life, but every one of them was led by The Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is REAL!
The Holy Spirit is not only real, but He has a personality.
But exactly Who is The Holy Spirit?
THE HOLY SPIRIT is The Spirit Of GOD THE FATHER and The Spirit Of GOD THE SON.
He is The POWER of The GodHead, The POWER of The Trinity.

Who is on the earth presently?
GOD The Holy Spirit. For GOD The Father came to do His work through The Son Who was resurrected, and ascended into Heaven.
GOD The Son is not on the earth. GOD The Father is not on the earth. They are both in Heaven this very second.
When GOD The Son departed, GOD The Holy Spirit came, and He is still here with GOD’s people doing His work.
Think about it. When GOD The Son left, He would not even take John and Peter with Him. He said, “Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, where I am going, you cannot come…” (John 13:33).
Today, The Holy Spirit is resident in the sons of GOD on the earth.

But when GOD The Holy Spirit leaves this world, which will happen very soon, He’s going to take the redeemed of The LORD with Him to meet The LORD in the air.

What is His job?
The task of The Spirit is to bring into fruition the perfect Will of The Father and The perfect work of The Son.
To understand the task of The Holy Spirit we need to understand the work of The Father and The Son.
GOD The Father is The One Who gives The Command, He has always been The One Who says,
  “Let there be…”

  “Let Us make…”

On the other hand, it is GOD The Son Who performs the Commands of The Father. When GOD The Father said,
  “Let there be light”
GOD The Son came and performed it. Then, GOD The Holy Spirit brought the light.

Let me illustrate it this way. If I asked you, “please turn on the light,” three forces would be involved:
First, I would be the one who gave the command.
Second, you would be the one who walks to the switch and flip it. In other words, you are the performer of the command.
But finally, who brings on the light?
It is not me, and neither is it you.
It is the power—the electricity that produces light.

The Holy Spirit is The POWER Of GOD. He is The POWER of The Father and of The Son. He is The One Who brings into action the performance of The Son. Yet He is a Person. He has emotions, which are expressed in a way unique among The Trinity. You cannot be in touch with The Father and The Son without The Holy Spirit (Ephesians 2:18).

The Holy Spirit says, “I am The One Who fellowships with you”.
The Grace of The Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of God, and the Communion of The Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
2 Cor. 13:14 KJV

May the Grace of The Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of God, and the Fellowship of The Holy Spirit be with you all.
NIV

The Holy Spirit is The One Who communes, Who fellowships with me. He is present to help me pray to The Father and to The Son.

The Holy Spirit is The only Teacher of the Bible.
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which The Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of The Spirit Of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Cor 2:13-14 KJV

The Words of The Holy Spirit expresses spiritual Truths in spiritual Words. They are spiritually discerned. And these Words, He teaches us.  

When you make The Holy Spirit your Teacher, He makes The Word of Scripture come alive to you in living colors.
When you give Him full access to your life, your prayer life changes completely. You become familiar with His Voice. You recognize it. You respond to it. And the more you fellowship with Him, the deeper the relationship becomes.

The Holy Spirit is gentle yet powerful.
He stays close to those who love Him.

A person who knows the Presence of The Holy Spirit will always glorify and magnify Jesus. Every action of your life reflects what you fill your life with. If you fill your life with newspapers, you will speak news. If you watch soap operas, you will speak soap operas. But, if you are filled with The Spirit and you absorb yourself in His Presence, you will seek Jesus and glorify no one but Jesus.

If God The Father and God The Son demonstrated their Love for The Holy Spirit, how can we do less?
GOD Loved Him so much that He chastised the children of Israel for their disobedience:
But they rebelled, and vexed His Holy Spirit: therefore He was turned to be their enemy, and He fought against them.
Isa. 63:10 KJV

Our Welcomed Guest



When we make The Holy Spirit The Boss in our Christian meetings, He honors the service because He is such a welcomed Guest.

Revelations of Heaven and Hell by 7 Columbian Youths


Revelations of Heaven and Hell by 7 Columbian Youths
Presented by The international ministry "Light for the Nations".

Together as a group, these 7 Columbian youths were taken by Jesus Christ and shown Heaven and Hell. Hear their account of the Glories of Heaven and misery of Hell.
The Bible, the word of God, is very clear about the subject of heaven and hell. In this portion that we have just read, the Lord tells us about two places: Heaven and Hell, the condemnation or the salvation. There is no intermediate place. Purgatory does not exist. Limbo does not exist, where men exist for a while after they have departed from the Earth and then go to heaven; the Bible is very clear about that.
(April 11th 1995)
“God gave us a revelation that would change the trajectory of our lives. We had just begun to know about God and His Word. We are seven youth to whom God has given the privilege and great responsibility of sharing this revelation with the world.”

"My little children, don't be afraid, I am Jesus of Nazareth, and I have visited you to show you a mystery so you can show and tell to towns, nations, cities, churches, and all places. Where I tell you to
go, you will go, and where I tell you not to go, you will not go."
The Holy Bible, The Word of God, says in Joel 2:28 "It shall come to pass after this that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh, your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions." These are the times that God is preparing for everyone.
Today you have the great opportunity to change your eternal destiny. Jesus is still available now, and the Bible says that while we have life we also have hope. Today you have life, don't miss this opportunity, it can be the last one.

I AM



 “I AM”
The Bible tells us that The GodHead-Father, Son and The Holy Spirit is self-existent.
God The Holy Spirit can be referred to as “I Am”, just like God The Father and God The Son.
When you have encounter with The Holy Spirit, you will experience a growing reality of His Presence.
Every Scripture, every encounter, and every revelation makes our walk in The Spirit more complete.

The Holy Spirit is so real He can be resisted. Many people think He is wind. But He isn’t. that’s just another in a long list of descriptive symbols used to communicate The Spirit-oil, water, dove, cloud, light, and so on. It certainly doesn’t mean that He looks like His symbols.
Wind is invisible to the eyes, but you cannot resist it. The word: resist means to oppose. People do actually oppose The Holy Ghost-they stop Him from working. Stephen in his speech to the Sanhendrin, quoted Moses saying: “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist The Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you” (Acts.7:51).

The words grief and grieved in the original Greek is “loopa”. Here is what it means: to feel pain in body and mind. It means to suffer mental and physical anguish.
The Holy Spirit is a Person, or Paul would not have said, “Do not grieve The Holy Spirit” (Eph.4:30). He grieves and that goes much deeper.

Not only that, but The Holy Spirit can be quenched. The word means to put out. Paul warned the Church at Thessalonica “Do not quench The Spirit” (I Thess. 5:19). You cannot quench the wind, but you can stop  a person.
Many Christians do not realize that The Holy Spirit can be vexed. Isaiah talked about the Lovingkindness of The Lord and His Mercy toward Israel: “But they rebelled, and vexed His Holy Spirit; therefore He was turned to be their enemy, and He fought against them” (Isa. 63:10 KJV).

The Resurrection Of The Just & The Unjust



The Resurrection Of The Just
&
The Unjust
The Rapture of the Church, the raising of all fallen asleep in The Lord, and all the saints that come out of the Great Tribulation, including God's two witnesses who were killed in Revelation 11, until The Second Coming Of Christ— all form part of what the Bible calls the First Resurrection.
Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to Everlasting Life,
others to shame and everlasting contempt.
Dan 12:2 NIV

 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at
 the resurrection of the just.
Luke 14:14 KJV

And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the Resurrection.
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth The Lord The God of Abraham, and The God of Isaac, and The God of Jacob.
For He is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto Him.
Luke 20:34-38 KJV

Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His Voice,
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of Life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
John 5:28-29 KJV

And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
Acts 24:15 KJV

 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better Resurrection:
Heb 11:35 KJV

And I will give Power unto My two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before The God of the earth.
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
 These have Power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have Power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
And when they shall have finished their Testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them,
and kill them.
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
 And after three days and an half The Spirit Of Life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

And they heard a great Voice from Heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to Heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
Rev 11:3-12 KJV

A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of His wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name." This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God's Commandments and remain faithful to Jesus.
 Then I heard a Voice from Heaven say, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in The Lord from now on."
Rev 14:9-13 NIV

I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their Testimony for Jesus and because of The Word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to Life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the First Resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who have part in the First Resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him
for a thousand years.
Rev 20:4-6 NIV
Rapture will be the ultimate experience for all those who know Jesus. You must be ready, because The Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him (Matt 24:44).
