For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing .
This is an excerpt from an email I received from Valerie today.
The doctor has set up an appointment with the specialist, as I have internal bleeding. It may be cancer of the colon, I have to see a specialist July 7th. I don't know if he is going to do a colonoscopy, had one done years ago, and then surgery, will let you know. On top of it all my family doctor has put me through more rigorous tests, total skeletal body ex-rays, close to 100 films, at least that what it felt like on Monday when I had them done, took almost 3 hours, on top of it extensive blood work as well. He is looking for Rheumatoid Arthritis. Lupus, etc., both auto immune diseases that destroy the body, by attacking healthy cells. I'm in a lot of pain, throughout the day, pain killers barely work, anymore. I get very sharp pains, and spasms in my legs, hips, feet. My hands are painful too, however, I try to keep the RFTH up the best of my ability.
I pray I live to the Rapture, but I'm not sure anymore; the last month, and last couple of weeks have been extremely hard on me. I sleep a lot, as I find fatigue sets in, and I can't help myself but sleep. My body is weak, and feels so exhausted.
By God's grace I'm still alive. I believe the enemy wants me dead.
Actually, I too weak right now to write anymore, and just asking for your prayers.
Please pray for Valerie's healing, everyone, and that God will keep her alive until the Rapture!
Kathy G.
Kathy, thank you for letting us now.
Valerie, I am sorry for what you are going through. I am praying for you.
HD
I hate to hear this! All of you are on my prayer list already but I'm going to pray very hard for Valerie! Please Jesus relieve her pain and let the rapture be so very soon!!
Kathy, Thank you for prayers and for posting this message on my behalf. I thank you for your faithful support here on Rapture Flight to Heaven. May God reward you greatly, for your time and effort here, as a Mod & participant throughout the years.
Thank you Heidi, and Stephanie, for your concern, and your prayers, I'm sure God hears them, and will answer in due time. I want to assure all of you that RFTH is staying up
for another year, I paid for the service, until June 27th, 2016. Therefore, no one need to worry, it will be up and running. I will continue to work on it as long as I am able too, and pray the Lord will help me to do so until we are Raptured; praying it's this year, and it may turn out to be our season of departure.
Know dear Sisters in Christ all here are in my daily prayers; therefore, may the good Lord in turn answer and meet your needs, whatever they may be.
God Bless,
Valerie
Valerie,
I too, will be praying for you as well, to get well soon...as well for you to hang in there until we're Raptured (it can't be too long now, can it?) too.
I feel sad just knowing that you're feeling sooo lousy.
Surely, our Lord can't tarry much longer; especially when it comes to the U.S. Supreme Courts two recent rulings. I also heard that either the UN/or another court doesn't recognize Jerusalem as being Israel's capital. Hence angrying God even further, b/c Jerusalem is indeed Israel's capital.
For we NOW are actually living in as it was in the time of Noah...so shall be the coming of the Son of Man be, aren't we?
Pretty soon, we will hear Jesus calling us to "COME UP HITHER!!!
'n' s
Maranatha!
Tammy
Tammy,
Thanks for your prayers too, I appreciate all and any prayers.
You are absolutely correct, it just can't be long now, it is near even at the doors.
God is good, He will continue to give us strength to go through whatever may lie ahead.
Maranatha!
Valerie
Valerie, at RFTH we are praying for you. God's Holy Spirit is with you, you are deeply rooted in the wellspring of life through Jesus.
Jesus loves you Valerie! God's Holy Spirit is with you every moment dear sister in Christ.
Thank you Regina, for your comforting words, God loves you and all His children, He is faithful, in His promises. We can trust God with our lives, and divine guidance to turn
a bad situation into a positive event, for the good of His people.
Who can we lean on for understanding, who promised not to leave us or forsake us, who can we trust to be there for us, when everyone has gone and left; Only God. Through God and His beloved Son Jesus. It doesn't end there, for Jesus, is the one, who asked the Father on our behalf, to send the Holy Spirit to come and abide in us, and comfort us through times of trials. My life, rests in God's hands, and I will continue to serve God, here on Earth, with His help and strength.
God Bless,
Valerie
Valerie,
So sorry to hear that your health is not improving. During the short
time that I have been a part of RFTH, it has been easy to discern that
the Lord has called you to establish and lead this website.
I will continue to pray for your healing and that the Lord will continue
to use you for His glory all the way up to the day of the Rapture.
I am also praying that Jesus will come for His Bride during the month of
September ... it looks so very promising! ..I am filled with hope and
joyous anticipation!
You are truly an inspiration to all of us at RFTH!!
God Bless,
Steve K.
Dear Valerie, my heart dropped as I read this. I am so sorry that you are going through so much pain. My heart goes out to you, as I struggle with hanging on by a thread myself.
Prayers are going out for you right now, dear sister. Like everyone said, surely we are going to be out of here soon.
Love and hugs!
Valerie
It breaks my heart to hear of all your pain. I will be in prayer for you. Please get your rest and let God guide you.
Dear Valerie!! You are in my prayers. It seems like everyone who loves Christ with all their heart, right now is going thru terrible trials and tribulations. It feels like the devil's last ditch effort to try to steal our joy or hurt our testimony. Such painful times so many of us have endured. But God spoke very clearly to my heart when He said that the enemy of our souls hates us! He wants to try to take us down and steal our joy. But if we will endure with joy, and fully continue to trust in the Lord, He will be honored and glorified and GREAT WILL BE OUR REWARD!!! I have clung to that thought in the hardest of times!!
I also believe He will come for us this year! But I think He will come when we are not expecting Him to. Everyone is looking at September, I think He may come earlier! I'm looking for any ordinary day from today on. Tu Bav looks promising!!! Either way, I'm watching and waiting with you!
Thank you everyone who has been praying for me. I have some relief from the attacks of pain, and know God wants me to continue to the best of my ability,
working for His Honor and Glory. Starting to have more better days, and less horrific ones, thanks be to God.
I have an appointment with a Specialist a surgeon Dr. David Star on July 7th, 2015.
Will keep you informed, and update, when I know something as well.
Please remember the many others here that need your continued prayers.
Remember to pray for this site, that it will continue to spread the word of the Lord's soon coming at Rapture, along, with the good news/Gospel, of God's saving grace through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Praying in remembrance daily for all here, may the good Lord, answer prayers,
and meet your needs whatever they may be!
God Bless,
Valerie
Just an update,
I received a call from Dr. Star's office, just this Monday morning. Apparently my appointment for Tuesday, July 7th, tomorrow, had to be cancelled, as to the fact, the Doctor, will be doing surgery that afternooon. My appointment to see him was pushed from 2:15 pm, Tues. 7th, to Thursday, July 9th, at the same time. Apparently this was an emergency, and things like this do happen.
I believe there is always a reason, for everything that happens in our lives; however,
we don't always have the answers as to why. I'm relying on God to see me through it all, and God willing, I will see the Doctor come this Thursday the 9th.
Please continue to remember me, in your prayers, I'm totally worn out and exhausted,
from all of this right now. Thanks and God Bless.

Hi Valerie, prayers are going up for you. I know that the Lord is able to strengthen and comfort you.
I hope that you are able to see your doctor tomorrow. The Lord Jesus surround you with His Holy Spirit in greater measure I ask in Jesus name. I ask for the Lord and the Holy Spirit to intercede for you.
Your Shepherd is with you dear sister
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This is an update, to date.
I saw the surgeon today, and he has booked an appointment to admit me to the hospital on July 27th, to have two tests which will have to be done under anesthetic. One is an endoscopy, and the other is a colonoscopy. He believes there may be a growth, obstruction, and he also believes, I may be bleeding from the stomach as well.
If there is a growth, a biopsy will be done the very same time and that will take a few days at least to find out the results.
I'm praying, that it's nothing serious, and can easily be handled during the colonoscopy and endoscopy.
Trusting God will see me through it all, once again.
I'm glad I'll still be home, for my husband's birthday, and our wedding anniversary July 22nd. Before I know it, July 27th will be here.
I've been holding my own, these last couple of days, and I believe, it's all your prayers are lifting me up to this very day.
Please continue to remember me in prayer.
Now I'll have to find out what my family doctor, found out on my blood work, and R. Arthritis and Lupus...when it rains...it pours..at least it does in my case.
Praying Jesus comes soon at the Rapture, and take us home, where illness, and death, no longer exist; praise God.
Again, thanks everyone for your much needed and very much appreciated prayers.
In Jesus' Love,
Valerie
I'm sorry Valerie. I am praying for you.
Thanks Heidi,
I'll just have to take it one day at a time, after all, no one is promised tomorrow.
All we have is this very moment in time.
Hopefully, it won't turn out to be cancerous after these tests are done in hospital.
Can't worry ahead of time, have to try and keep my mind on the present.
I really appreciate all the prayers, being sent up, I believe it's what keeps me
going.
God Bless,
Valerie
Picked up a message on my home phone, apparently, looks like the blood work I had done,
shows R.A. The family doctor is setting up an appointment, at the Toronto Western Hospital with a Rheumatologist, to try and help with the chronic pain. It's made me feel very depressed today, as I haven't finished with one Doctor, and now I'll be seeing another one, for
R.A. Like I said, when it rains for me, it pours. Sigh...so tired of all this at one time. It's a sunny day today, but it feels very cloudy for me right now. Come Lord Jesus Come Quickly. Perhaps even today? Amen! Valerie
Hi Valerie,
May God have mercy on your health issues and hoping your suffering is short-lived. I just want to encourage you of what a massively high rapture watch time we have with the fall feasts and the Jubilee year starting on Yom Kippur. Then there being exactly 49 weeks of years between Yom Kippur 2015 and the Six Day War in 1967. I think this is the highest rapture watch time I have ever seen since (and including) when I started watching in 1988.
I just can't see much past September 2015 right now because of all the reasons the rapture could happen. If this is it, our transformation is very soon, and all our problems soon behind us.

Valerie, you are going through so much with pain and hardship, yet you are ever faithful with your walk with Jesus and on the website. Thank you Valerie. Soon, only glory will be your present and forever
Hi Valerie, how are you doing today? Thinking about you and so I said a prayer for you today.
Until the Lord returns, I pray that He comfort you and uphold you in His care, in Jesus name
Thank you Regina, for your prayers, and thoughts. I'm doing the best I can, taking a day at a time. Today, I experience more severe pain, due to a R.A. attack in my lower spine and left hip; rested most of the day. It always seems worse when it rains, and the weather is bad. However, I'm also grateful that Sunday and Saturday, were much better days for me, with minimal pain, which is very refreshing lately.
One Day at a time Sweet Jesus, is a song I love, and comes to mind; not just for myself,
but for all who are watching and longing for His coming at the Rapture.
God Bless,
Valerie

On Day at a time Sweet Jesus...
Oh dear Valerie, my heart goes out to you so much. I can relate to the waiting of the hospital tests, of the pain and the fatigue, and the discouragement. I am and have been through the same thing. Prayers are going up for you right now. I pray that the Lord fills you with His strength and His Presence with a fresh anointing and fills your heart with words of love and encouragement. I pray for relief from the pain and the exhaustion that you go through on a daily basis. I pray that the Lord will remove any fear and discouragement and that He manifests Himself to you in a special way.
I just got my results from the tests I took last month: the blood tests and the Ultrasound. The Hospice doctor came to see me yesterday, and told me that the Ultrasound showed that the cancerous mass in my liver have grown, so the cancer is advancing. Not only that, but he also said that I am anemic, which explains why I am exhausted, out of breath, and so weak. Even taking a shower drains me. He told me that anemia is quite common with cancer patients. Apparently, it affects the red blood cells.
There are so many signs that are pointing to a September 2015 rapture. May the Lord give us life and comfort from the exhaustion and the pain until He takes us home.
Love and hugs, dear sister.
Lisaleenie,
I'm so sorry to hear this. May the Lord lessen your and Valerie's pain until He comes! I'm still praying for you both. Soon we will be in our new bodies in His presence!
Stephanie
Thank you so much, Stephanie, for your prayers for me and Valerie! We so desperately need them.
Valerie, thank you so much for starting that thread for me yesterday, and everyone else who prayed for me, also. I just went over there and gave a response. I appreciate that so much.
I know exactly what you mean when you told the doctor that you opted out of the chemo for the breast cancer. My doctor offered it to me, also, several times and I refused for the same reason. He was not a happy camper that I did that, but like you, I knew that the chemo would kill me sooner than the cancer would.
My heart goes out to you so much for what you are going through. Waiting for the tests, and the preparation for them with enemas and the liquids only. Then waiting for the results of the tests like I did recently. Of course, we expect the worse, and the anxiety of the whole thing is exhausting both physically and emotionally.
I wish I could give you a hug, too. But since I can't, all I can do is pray for you, dear sister. Let the Lord sustain us until the rapture, and give us the strength to be able to take it one day at a time.
Love and hugs to you!
I have not been posting as I had computer problems and my sister had a heart attack at 58 years old and things have just been happening , but I have been reading and praying for all the prayer requests here.. Valerie and Lisaleenie and Steve and all the other requests, know that you have been prayed for every day...
Thanks Lisaleenie for your prayers, and concern. You are going through so much yourself right now. I'm glad to hear the pain has subsided, thanks be to God. I'm continuing to keep you in my daily prayers; every little prayer helps. I too have had a few days of relief from debilitating pain, thanks be to God. Thankful, for small mercies too, as they mean so much to have a break from it, even for awhile.
Sandy, I'm sorry to hear you've had so many problems in your life as well. Thanks for your prayers, they are appreciated.
It seems, many are suffering, and some through no fault of their own. However, God is in control and at the Helm, therefore, we can be rest assured the good Lord, wants what is best for all of us. Good to see you back and posting.
Praying for you and yours, and all here, to meet their needs whatever they may be.
God is good, and I'm leaning on the Lord, for comfort and understanding.
All things work for good, through God, for His ways are higher, and avail much.
God Bless,
Valerie
Valerie, I am praying for you. I will put myself a reminder to pray tomorrow around 1 pm. God bless.
Update:
I had the two procedures done today. Thank God, all went well.
Thanks for all your prayers, no complications during the two tests.
The colonoscopy didn't find anything serious to worry about. The endoscopy, ended up
with the doctor taking a biopsy of the stomach for further tests. I won't know anything until at least for another week, when I'm suppose to call the doctors office for the results of the biopsy. I was told not to worry, all will be revealed when the biopsy results come back, positive or negative.
I'm just so tired, and glad this is all over and behind me for now. I can go on, and continue to do my work for the Lord.
Trusting God, that perhaps, it's nothing serious, perhaps just a bacteria infection, causing me problems.
God Bless,
Valerie
Dear Valerie, how did it go today? Did they let you go home or do you have to stay overnight?
I have been praying for you concerning this procedure. I so understand about the fasting beforehand and how you have to drink clear fluids to cleanse out your system. I've gone through those kinds of tests with the preparation the day before so many times, so I can surely emphasize with what you went through. Only in my case, I had to do the enemas on top of the fasting! Oh, I hated that!
Even before I read your post, I prayed for you with a Christian friend of mine at 1:00! Wow, that blew me away when I read about your request to pray for you at 1:00. One of my prayers was that the Lord give you strength and peace, and that the Lord guide the hands of the technicians. I will also pray that no matter what the tests shows, that the Lord will also give you a strength and peace about the results. I truly believe we are going to be out of here so soon, and neither one of us will have to worry about pain or mobility problems ever again!
I'm so glad that your pain is better during this time. If you ever needed relief from the horrific pain, it is now! God is so good.
Please update us as soon as you are able. In the meantime, rest in the Lord and I pray that His perfect strength and peace will come upon you.
Much love to you, dear sister!
Oh my goodness, I can't believe that we posted at the same time! After I posted just now asking for an update, I just noticed that you gave us an update at the same time that I posted.
I'm so glad that the procedures went well, praise God!! Please let us know the results of the biopsy next week.
You rest, dear sister. I pray that you sleep well.
Love and hugs to you!
Valerie, it is so comforting to know that God knows every one of our days before even one of them happens.
Prayers are rising to our Abba Father for you, Lisaleenie, and other family in Christ who are suffering. God keeps His covenant. You are safely in His care Valerie.
I'm so glad to hear that Valerie. Praying for more good results and continued pain relief!
Thank you dear Sisters in Christ, Lisaleenie, Regina, & Stephanie, I believe your prayers, and those here who prayed for me, saw me through these two procedures without
incident or complications; praise God, thanking God for the wonderful caring people like yourselves. I honestly believe, that is why, it all went so well, and the specialist, is a religious Jewish doctor...did you get his name...remember David & the (Star of David) ...was it a sign I was in good hands, plus all the Christian prayers that went up...awesome. God is good, and He not only sustains us, but provides our needs, which I'm ever so grateful for and always amazed by the mysterious ways God moves.
I'm trusting God to come through, upon this biopsy as well. Not dwelling on it, or being anxious about it, because it just wouldn't do any good, so what's the point.
I'm going to live each day the good Lord gives me, and do the best I'm able too.
God knows my future days ahead, I don't; therefore, I will take it one day at a time,
with our precious Jesus!
One Day At A Time Sweet Jesus (with lyrics)
Much love and thanks to everyone,
who prayed for me...!
Valerie
I thank the Lord for your awesome report Valerie, and will be praying for more of the same ...... The Savior's thoughts toward you outnumber the grains of
sand! (Ps.139:17,18).
Valerie, thank you for letting us know how things went. I will pray that the other results will be OK.
How are you doing, Valerie? What day this week are you going to hear the results of the biopsy? Praying and thinking about you. How is your pain level?
Love and hugs!
Kathy G. & Everyone, who has been praying for me your prayers were answered. Praise God thank you Jesus.
I went to see see my family doctor today, and he had just received a report and summary from the specialist Dr. Star. The biopsy was taken to see if there was stomach cancer, and in the summary it was negative for Cancer. However, he is still waiting to get the complete biopsy report, to see what was "exactly" stated on the biopsy itself. I was so happy to hear the good news.
I believe that God heard all your prayers, for there has been no bleeding any longer either. God healed me of whatever happened in my gastric stomach part of my body
where they suspected the bleeding was coming from. This was the reason for the biopsy.
My doctor was so gracious, as I still don't have any reply from this R.A. specialist, and he is looking for another one, to take me on. The attacks were quiet for awhile,
and today I had a minor attack in my legs, which put me out in bed, from the time we came home from the doctor.
God Bless you, everyone, know that all of you are mentioned in my daily prayers.
May the good Lord meet all of your needs whatever they may be. I'm most grateful,
not to hear that "C" word again, and so thankful to God, and all the people who prayed for me.
God is a God of large and small mercies, and He loves all of His children for they are precious in His sight.
In Jesus' Love,
Valerie
Oh, Valerie, I am so glad that there was no cancer! Praise the Lord! Thank you for the update.
Thank you so much for your continued prayers for me and others. I am in quite a lot of pain, and my energy is very low. It's so hard to sit up and post, and I miss doing that.
Love to you, dear Valerie. God bless you, dear sister. May the Lord take us home soon in the rapture. I think the time is short.
Thank you Lord for that great news, we all have our new(resurrection) bodies
on order, which I believe will be arriving soon!
Thank you Kathy, Lisaleenie, & Steve K.,
I'm praising God with you Kathy, for this good news.
Lisaleenie,I too am grateful to God there is no cancer.
You're in my daily prayers Sis.
I'm also grateful, for time out from severe pain caused by R.A. However, yesterday, the attacks are back, and haven't let up as yet. Thank God they are not as severe as previous ones; but they are back again, and it's bad news, since I'm still waiting, to get to see a R.A. specialist to help me to keep the severe pain under control as there is no cure for it.
Hoping and praying, perhaps the Rapture will happen before my appointment to the R.A. Specialist, and like you said Steve, a new body, is what we need. A body liken unto the Lord's, no more pain or suffering. Soon and very soon I pray!
Please continue to remember me, Lisaleenie, and all the Brothers and Sisters who are suffering. It makes a huge difference to us just knowing someone is praying for us...Thanks, and God Bless
May God receive all the Honor, Glory and Praise, for all and any Testimony of Mercies, small and great.
All Honor and Glory is yours, Almighty God and Father,
Amen!
Valerie
