DON'T FALL ASLEEP
WHEAT & THE TARES
“Don’t Fall Asleep” Part 11 (09/03/24)… The Wheat and the Tares (Community Bible Study on Tuesday nights at Bridgewood Church, Clarkston, MI.) We will begin with looking at current events thru the lens of scripture as a response by the command from Jesus himself to know the signs of His Return or the Rapture.
In our study tonight (the final part of this series) we are studying God’s Word to rightly identify the False Prophet as foretold in the book of Revelation. John (the writer of Revelation) was told that there is no question, no mystery to who the False Prophet will be and the “christian” religion that he comes out of. Two thousand years ago John wrote down the colors that the religious leaders wear today, the location of their headquarters (city) along with numerous other identifiers that only leads to one conclusion.
The understanding of not just End Time events but ultimately how the Bible is written, the Old and New Testament working hand in hand, is vital for every follower of Jesus Christ (the Word) to make disciples so you and I can be a witness to the events taking place to family and friends. (I will have a handout each week of our current events with maps, Bible passages, places for notes that will be available online as well.
Jesus said “Don’t Fall Asleep”, eternity is too long to be wrong.

“Don’t Fall Asleep” Part 10 (08/20/24)… The Wheat and the Tares (Community Bible Study on Tuesday nights at Bridgewood Church, Clarkston, MI.) We will begin with looking at current events thru the lens of scripture as a response by the command from Jesus himself to know the signs of His Return or the Rapture.
In our study tonight we are going to look at the “mark of the beast” or the currency of the last global government (beast empire) which will be a mandated cashless currency. Through the study of God’s Word we can rightly identify the “things” in God’s Word which we are commanded to know by Jesus Himself. In addition we look at how the False Prophet (a Pope or the beast with 2 horns) will join forces and unite 2 religions together and lead an attack with the antichrist (Islamic government leader) and take over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

“Don’t Fall Asleep” Part 9 (08/13/24)… The Wheat and the Tares (Community Bible Study on Tuesday nights at Bridgewood Church, Clarkston, MI.) We will begin with looking at current events thru the lens of scripture as a response by the command from Jesus himself to know the signs of His Return or the Rapture.
In our study tonight we will look at what happens when we separate ourselves from our old way of thinking based in pride which produces: fear, anxiety, toil , worry. God's Word said that pride comes before our downfall and it is a sin to be prideful.
When we trust God, His Ways, His Thoughts and get rid of our pride and have faith in His Word…we can walk on water!You and I can do things in the natural that we never saw ourselves doing through our old prideful eyes because we feared the outcome of having faith in God's Plan and how His Word says to live.
Peter walked on water and had to separate himself from the other's in the boat… this is what is taking place right now for you and I. It is harvest time, and the wheat and the tares are being separated by their own choices, their belief or what they have faith in…what they think or what God says.
God’s Word gives us everything so we no longer have to live at a lower level, a worldly level where we surround ourselves with people absent of God’s changing power and the divine nature change He is calling us to have in order to live a holy and righteous life in order to be accounted worthy to escape the judgments that will soon come upon the whole earth.
God’s Word told us to by on guard, to wake up or “don’t fall asleep” to the “things” that were prophesied regarding sin, judgment and righteousness. This command to be awake and “Don’t Fall Asleep” is not limited to government and religion but our close associations as well. We are commanded to listen to the teaching and preaching of God's Word but, commanded to run from false teaching and preaching as well…your eternity depends on it!

We will begin with looking at current events thru the lens of scripture as a response by the command from Jesus himself to know the signs of His Return or the Rapture.
In our study tonight we will look at the instructions in God's Word about how satan wants to keep followers of Jesus Christ or the Word in spiritual darkness or spiritual ignorance. As a result, christians are spending their time and energy trying to get by in a godless world using the world’s reasoning which always leads to toil, worry anxiousness, not trusting and ultimately fear.
God’s Word gives us everything so we no longer have to live at a lower level, a worldly level where we surround ourselves with people absent of God’s changing power and the divine nature change He is calling us to have in order to live a holy and righteous life in order to be accounted worthy to escape the judgments that will soon come upon the whole earth.

In our study tonight we will look at the instructions in God's Word on how to conduct ourselves when we are living with the tares or darnel in the parable that Jesus shared. How can we prosper in God's Plan? How do we guard ourselves against getting pulled into unbelief? Sin? The cares or distractions of this world that will soon be gone?
God’s Word gives us everything we need for the divine nature change He is calling us to have in order to live a holy and righteous life in order to be accounted worthy to escape the judgments that will soon come upon the whole earth.

We will begin with looking at current events thru the lens of scripture as a response by the command from Jesus himself to know the signs of His Return or the Rapture.
In our study tonight we will look at what happened to Samson after being anointed by God and set aside for His purpose. Samson slowly and subtly exposed himself to groups of friends which became close associations that God told him to stay away from and ultimately his anointing left and he didn't realize it until it was to late.
God’s Word gives you and I, followers or imitators of Christ instructions as well in the Old and New Testament about the friends or close associations that we keep. Jesus said at the “Time of the End” or “Harvest Time” we will see people change or will identify that they have been different the whole time because of what would be taking place in the world around us.
God’s Word told us to by on guard, to wake up or “don’t fall asleep” to the “things” that were prophesied regarding sin, judgment and righteousness. This command to be awake and “Don’t Fall Asleep” is not limited to government and religion but our close associations as well. We are commanded to listen to the teaching and preaching of God's Word but, commanded to run from false teaching and preaching as well…your eternity depends on it!

We will begin with looking at current events thru the lens of scripture as a response by the command from Jesus himself to know the signs of His Return or the Rapture.
In our study tonight we will look at what happened to Moses after being in the wilderness surrounded by people lacking faith (unbelief) and living in habitual disobedience. This strong leader who talked with God on the mountain tops but did not see the fulfillment of all that God had for him here on earth is a lesson for all of us on guarding our hearts and minds and taking inventory on who we surround ourselves with.
God’s Word told us to by on guard, to wake up or “don’t fall asleep” to the “things” that were prophesied regarding sin, judgment and righteousness. This command to be awake and “Don’t Fall Asleep” is not limited to government and religion but our close associations as well.

“Don’t Fall Asleep” Part 5 (07/09/24)… The Wheat and the Tares (Community Bible Study on Tuesday nights at Bridgewood Church, Clarkston, MI.) In our study tonight we will begin to look at the fulfillment of what Jesus foretold would happen prior to the rapture of the church…many pastors, preachers and teacher would deceive many regarding “eternal security”. The christian church in general has become and will continue to unite itself with a godless culture and government, this is the part of the shaking at harvest time, the changing of colors by the darnel or tares and the seeds of heresy mixed in with today’s preaching and teaching.
One part of the deception will be the “once saved alway saved” false teaching or “eternal security” that Paul addressed in Romans along with several of the New Testament writers along with Jesus Himself. From hyper grace, to it doesn’t matter how I live once I said the sinner’s prayer… God’s Word addresses all of these false teachings that is taking place right now in many mainline denominations. Jesus said, IF you love me then…keep my commands.
God’s Word told us to by on guard, to wake up or “don’t fall asleep” to the “things” that were prophesied regarding sin, judgment and righteousness. This command to be awake and “Don’t Fall Asleep” is not limited to government and religion but our close associations as well.

“Don’t Fall Asleep” Part 2 (06/11/24) - The Wheat and the Tares (Community Bible Study on Tuesday nights at Bridgewood Church, Clarkston, MI.) We kick off the night with current events regarding the command by Jesus to know the signs of His return.
In our study tonight (lesson begins at the 26:33 mark) we will look at the parable that Jesus told of the wheat and the tares (darnel/weeds) speaking of the types of people that will be in church at the Time of the End or Harvest Time, the time of the Rapture of the Church. Jesus said we wouldn’t even know that they believed differently until Harvest Time and they will begin to change colors.
God’s Word gives us instruction on what to do, what to look, be on guard about at the Time of the End. From the close friendships or associations we have, from the “churched” people sitting next to us every Sunday and or at Bible Study. From the false preachers and teachers who “say things God never said” and Paul’s warning of the outcome of sitting under or listening to false preachers and teachers…
Galatians 5:9 AMPC
9 A little leaven (a slight inclination to error, or a few false teachers) leavens the whole lump [it perverts the whole conception of faith or misleads the whole church].
Jesus said that many pastors preachers and teachers will deceive many at the Time of the End… Jesus said “Don’t Fall Asleep”, eternity is too long to be wrong.
Jesus is coming and He wants us ready for His Return!

“Don’t Fall Asleep” Part 1 (06/04/24) - The Wheat and the Tares (Community Bible Study on Tuesday nights at Bridgewood Church, Clarkston, MI.) We kick off the night with current events regarding the command by Jesus to know the signs of His return.
In part in of this series “Don’t Fall Asleep” we will look at the parable that Jesus told of the wheat and the tares (darnel/weeds) speaking of the types of people that will be in church at the Time of the End or Harvest Time, the time of the Rapture of the Church. Jesus said we wouldn’t even know that they believed differently until Harvest Time and they will begin to change colors.
Jesus said in Matthew chapter 13 “…the kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while he was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed also darnel (weeds resembling wheat) among the wheat, and went on his way.”
During this series we are going to study God’s Word which gives us instruction on what to do, what to look for at the Time of the End. From the close friendships or associations we have, from the “churched” people sitting next to us every Sunday and or at Bible Study. From the false preachers and teachers who “say things God never said” and Paul’s warning of the outcome of sitting under or listening to false preachers and teachers…
Galatians 5:9 AMPC
9 A little leaven (a slight inclination to error, or a few false teachers) leavens the whole lump [it perverts the whole conception of faith or misleads the whole church].
This is going to be an eye opening series on what is taking place in many churches across the United States and maybe in your church or a friend or family members church.
Jesus said that many pastors preachers and teachers will deceive many at the Time of the End… Jesus said “Don’t Fall Asleep”, eternity is too long to be wrong.
Jesus is coming and He wants us ready for His Return!
