Greetings, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our soon coming Bridegroom who will one day take His Bride, the true Church, to be with Him forever - never to be parted again. What denomination is this Bride? Baptist, Lutheran, the Jehovah Witness, the Pentecostal power ministry evangelists, Church of Christ, what denomination? There is no denomination or cult which can lay claim to being the Bride of Christ. The Bride of Christ is everyone who has been truly born-again of the Spirit of God, dotted through many groups and even sitting in the pews of Catholic cathedrals, meeting in homes, some alone in despair at the endtime apostasy of our day, some persecuted for their faith in pagan lands. One day soon they will come together as a Body, black, yellow, red and white, rich, poor, weak in the faith and strong. Everyone who is born-again makes up that Bride, and all will go in the Rapture, at the close of the Church Age. We are saved by Grace through faith, beloved of God, and we will be raptured by Grace alone. Praise God for His compassion and mercy.

“Behold, I show you a mystery: We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall ALL be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we (those alive) shall be changed.”

“Then we who are ALIVE (alive dear friends) and reImages shall be caught up together with them (the dead) in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

There will come a time when the Church Age will close, and God after that will bring judgement on the Jewish nation and the Gentile nations. If we happen to be alive at the close decided upon by the Almighty, then God will take us as we are, He will not wait until we die in order to have us put on immortality. There will always be live Christians on the earth, no matter when the Church Age closes. Those alive will be caught up to Jesus Christ, just as they are! More about this “blessed hope” in Despatch this issue.

You know the Rapture is a little bit like a newspaper which has finished. Everyone has paid their subs. some are only new subscribers, others are ended. When the newspaper closes, there is no more! You might be still ‘alive’ re. your sub, but nevertheless time is up, there is no more!

Despatch has been criticised often for exposing the false prophets in our midst, as though it was forbidden by God to do so - in the name of tolerance and love come the criticisms. The article “Dangerous Misconceptions Concerning Satan” should put a clear light on this. We need so much to be aware of what is going on in the world at this late stage in the Church Age. Who wants to be ashamed before the Lord because we have aided and abetted the rise of the counterfeit church of Biblical prophecy?
The false prophets of our day, such as C. Peter Wagner, are loud-mouthing their own “professionalism” in the areas of ‘spiritual warfare’ and ‘territorial spirits’, yet they never expose the Images tactics and work of the devilish deceiving spirits ever - which are:

• The false doctrines of the New Age in the Church;
• The false “Kingdom of God”;
• The evils of the ecumenical merger;
• The political take-over of the New Age and the religious monstrosity headed by the Vatican and the Pope;
• The rise of Gnosticism, which includes the interaction with the spiritual hierarchy - exactly what is happening in “christian” “spiritual warfare” circles themselves;
• The UFO and the last days.
• MORE of false “spiritual warfare” in Despatch this issue.

We have a five-hour video prepared on:
1. The last days & extra-terrestrials;
2. Crop Circles;
3. The Earth Grid phenomenon.

 The period we are entering will be increasingly spiritually perilous!!! The anaesthetic fog is lifting from the planet, and the reality of the great cosmic battle of the ages is becoming more obvious. Even the unbelievers are catching on, those I believe who are trembling on the brink of salvation. An unsaved young man in our district said to a Christian, “what is going on? There is ‘something’ in the air!” People of God, pray for the lost, earnestly intercede for those who are about to be plummeted into the Antichrist rule of suffering - and on their way to eternity without God. Cry unto God for the lost!

CAN CHRISTIANS WHO LOVE THE LORD BE DECEIVED?

There are those who naively believe that if they love the Lord they can never be deceived. The Bible gives no such message, and warns us again and again about the possibility of being deceived. Deceived means that we think something is right, earnestly and sincerely, and it is wrong. When Jesus Christ was asked by the disciples about “the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?”
The first thing Jesus answered was:

“Take heed that no man DECEIVE YOU. For many shall come in MY NAME, saying, I am Christ; and shall DECEIVE MANY.” (Matthew 24:3-5).

• We can be deceived when we are hearers of the Word but not doers. (James 1:22).
• The saved can be deceived if they ignore sin and say they have no sin. (1 John 1:8).
• We can be deceived when we are overcome with pride and think ourselves to be “something”

when we are nothing in God’s economy. (Gal.6:3).
• We can be deceived if we become “wise” with the wisdom of this world.

(1 Cor.3:18. e.g. psychology, New Age teachings, philosophy, Godless intellectualism etc.).
• Deception comes when we seem to be religious, but an unbridled tongue reveals our true condition.

(James 1:26).
• We are deceived if we think that we can have contact with sin but this will have no affect on us.

(1 Cor.15:33).
• We are deceived if we imagine that we can sow, and not reap what we sow. (Gal.6:7).
• We are deceived if we think that we have no need to repent,

and that the unrepentant unrighteous will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Cor.6:9).

“the whole world lieth in wickedness (the evil one, the wicked one).”

Christians are often more interested in the Toronto Blessing or the Ecumenical Movement, and other denominational matters, than in global meetings and events. Do you skip over some of these reports when reading Despatch? These reports are far more important than the religious comments! Read them carefully and pray as you read. Your unsaved neighbours and relatives are in a pretty pickle - right now. Globalization is the material, social, political and military side of the Antichrist system as it rises. This is the “Beast” the “Woman” rides in Rev.17:3. The Beast is the political “Babylon”, the Woman is the religious “Babylon”. The Woman cannot move without the Beast, and yet is in control of it - she is riding it. A beast bearing a controlling rider!

The article on IPRA in Brisbane fits in with the article which follows it on the UN Plan. May the Lord raise up intercessors from amongst our readers in these perilous times. * IPRA update has been accepted by Christian Conscience magazine [see their advert on back pages) and has been sent out via E-mail to those interested.
