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 .
Greetings to all of you dear brothers and sisters on this Forum..
I have been encouraged and following you for over a year and a half..
I am a pastor, missionarry in France since 1999 and Father of 3 children, Keenan (7) Nathan (4) and Evangeline ( 5 months).
Married to beautiful wife and we both are pastoring In Paris, France..
I have been Preaching Pre-trib for quite a while and ultimatly lost most if not all of my ministry partners..
They think that pre-trib is not a cool doctrine to beleive in.. and they would rather preach prosperity and material blessings.. wich i don't think is what determines wether you are saved of not..
Just wanted to introduce myself to you all and i just can't wait to meet all of you..
The lord has blessed me and called me in the ministry while i was in the USMC out of Okinawa , Japan..
And i have been traveling since all around the world.. We have several churches and all of them are RAPTURE READY!!! AMEN!
Because of this Forum, and of all of you who are making this forum work, I am the man that i am today..
Thank you to Kevin, who really encouraged me when i was witnessing some debate that brought sadness on my heart, but he Re-assure me of the Love that is mending all of us on here..
I have been praying for every Moderator, every time there was a sick person.. I feel at home when i come here.. So thank you...
Blessings to all and HOPE to see you in a couple of days... !!!
MARANATHA!!!
Dear Lesly Joseph, Welcome to RFTH!! Praise the LORD that you have been teaching your congergation the TRUTH and it being a Pre Trib Rapture.It is the enemy that says that it is not Pre-Trib,our church does NOT preach Prophecy at all.Yes,some mention that the LORD's return is near but we don't take a book in the Bible and preach a really good Prophecy message.
Praying and looking forward to seeing you soon in the clouds.....Jesus I want to see 1st,everyone else is #2 and so forth.I just want JESUS and ONLY JESUS!!!
Thank you Lesly Joseph from Paris. It is good to hear from a missionary here at Rapture Flight. Even across the Earth, we are all getting the same scoffing trying to warn about the Lord's soon coming for His Church.
Pretrib might not be "cool" but really they know they are not ready and they do not want to repent of their sins and love for this world; idolatry. It seems these "ministry partners" are just following the "money" that the preaching of the "prosperity doctrines" bring in. It is a shame because so many people need to repent and return to their "first love" Jesus/Yahshua. I'm glad your churches are all "rapture ready", what an exciting time to be a pastor of the flock!
Thanks also for joining in prayer for RFTH and the moderators, and Kevin, he is a Godsend, definitely!
I'm sure the forum family will lift you, your ministry and your family up as well. How sweet your children must be at these ages, but they do keep you busy.
Looking forward to seeing you and your family soon in Heaven as well, GLORY!!! What a Wondrous Day that will BE!!!!!!! (I'm hoping we can take video.)
In His Love,
Terry His Jewel
Malachi 3:17
Thank you Pastor Joseph for your kind words, and welcome to RFTH. I'm so glad that you have joined us here, and I think it's wonderful that you have a ministry in Paris. I'm also glad that your churches there are Rapture Ready. Praise God, we are going to see the King soon! God bless you!
Kevin
Thank you Terry,
Being a missionarry overseas all of my christian life, and being abandonned by teh soo called partners because of Jesus... I like that Idea..!
thank you for allowing an old watcher like me to join this Forum.. thank you for your prayers..
It has been a challenge for about a year now.. It is hard to want to continue in this world.. Seeing things happening and knowing that christ is on HIS Way SOON...
From the Rising of the Sun, to the Setting, I THINK ABOUT JESUS... And I want To GO HOme...
I no longer enjoy doing anything.. I teach, Preach, We soul win a lot, and MANY souls are comming to Christ..
We are running 2 Baptism service EVERY WEEK, Every sundays and Wednesdays.. That is what is keeping me going..
My Wife and Sons, all we talk about is HEAVEN.. I find it hard to continue enjoying what so ever....
Any one like me.. ? cause some times , it is hard to want to wake up and go out, or do anything..
So my life for the past year has been nothing but ministry, baptism around the globe, and preaching..
I have not taking any holidays for 2 years... Don't feel like doing nothing for me..
Well Hope It is soon.. Praying it is tonight.. If not, We have baptism tomorrow,... That is the AWESOME part of Preaching the soon coming Of Jesus.. When Preached, People are getting saved.. AMEN!!
Love you all on Rapture Flight....
Hello Kevin,
What a soldier you are.. Thank you for answering my email and setting me up on Rapture Flight...
Thank you for your love for EVERYONE...
You are a blessing to me...
See you soon .. Hope tonight... If not this month.. Otherwise, you are going to have to come to Paris, for a Rapture flight Get Together Party... Amen!
Blessings
Pastor Joseph,
You are too kind. You are the real soldier for the Lord. Missionaries are incredible soldiers for the Lord, and you to be commended for it brother. I believe we will be meeting each other in the air soon. God bless you!
Kevin
Pastor Joseph, welcome to Rapture Flight. Doesn't that just sound good - rapture flight! Maybe tonight, but if not, soon anyway. Are you originally from the U.S.? Your family sounds wonderful. I know they must be your joy. Also, praying for God's angels to surround and protect you all as France is not a country very open to the gospel and I've read about violence increasing there.
I agree with you 100% about longing for heaven and not feeling very at home here on earth anymore. Seems like we have been waiting such a long time. But soon, very soon now we may get the desire of our hearts. We will meet in heaven with all those we love and especially our dear Jesus, Father and Holy Spirit.
When you read the gospel of John near the time of crucifixion, Jesus voiced the same desire -that we all will be one. Looks like His desire has spilled over into our hearts so much that we all now just wait for that day. See you very soon! God bless you all.
Welcome to RFTH Lesly. Praying for you.
I am french, too.
Thanks for joining and praying.. Your posts are encouraging.
Hoping to see everyone soon.
I want to joyfully sing and dance for with y'all in the most wonderful place God has made!
Hello Sue,
Thank you very much for your welcome.. Now that i am speaking directly to all of you, it feels great and special..
Yes, i am originally from The US, and Have been Living outside of the Us ALL OF MY LIFE.. ( I know , i'ts something isn't it?)
Thank you for your prayers and please, unti Christ comes to get His bride, please do continue to pray for us here..
France is not very open to Christ... we have only 400 000 born again Christians here.. We are concedered the third world country spiritually..
There are 6 millions practicing muslims.. And it is under many Threats from Muslims, and Even Governmnet officials that i preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ...
I have been a outside of the Us since i was 18, while in The US Marines.. then Got saved while enlisted..
Lived in Japan, then after Theological school, lived all around, and have been a missionary all of my Christian Life..
Worked hard in school.. had very good grades in HS... Went to the millitary .. Was Called out of the service by God, and have been preaching ever since.. God has a Wonderfull sense of Humor, mixed with the calling..
Preached the Gospel to My wife, who was a Former Muslim, and She came to Christ, And Has been Reaching former muslims in France every since....
WE have been threanned my wife and i.. My children are under protection.... There was a contract over my head by muslim radicals... I was protected by Marines from the U S Ambassy here for half a year..
But By God's grace, Still Preaching, and Reaching more souls now then ever before...
Christ is Surely coming soon.. Let's continue to work for HIM..
What a ministry RApture Flight is around the world.. partnering with us on the mission field..
Maybe you never preached to someone in France, but when you encouraged me to preach one more message when i was down and feeling hurt by being abandoned by fellow ministry friends and partners, YOU, at Rapture Flight were teh one preaching and reaching the French and muslims.....
Eternity will speak of your work for the Kingdom...
Maranatha and God bless you all..
( Maybe tonight, or in a few days.. ) but SURELY it is SOON..!

Lesly:
I wanted to say, "WELCOME", to you!!!
Last night, I came in fairly late for me and saw and read some of
your first post. What really "TOUCHED" me was the part where you
said your family was "ALWAYS" talking about heaven!!! HOW VERY
REFRESHING!!! THAT IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE!!!
To me, it makes sense that you are an American living "AWAY" from
America and seeing "fruit" born in your ministry.
Living in America, it is like "Carnival" Christianity!!! In other
words, the lights, the attention, what's popular, what everybody
is "doing"!!! In other words, the correct "image" of Christianity
and, OF COURSE, don't create much of a "stir"!!!!
As I said (wrote), when I read your words about how your family
was ALWAYS talking about Heaven, it "hurt" my insides because of
the "way" my family has been at times.
This morning, the LAST thing I was dreaming "JUST" before I woke
up was a "strange" conversation with the son of a Baptist minister
(whom I REALLY liked and had a very good affect on me at the time
I was saved.) This boy's father (now passed away) was a VERY
unusual Baptist minister who REALLY spoke about the rapture a LOT
and was VERY evangelical and "different" from most I've known.
This "son" (who was in my dream) is a doctor AND farms about 7000
acres. In other words, he has a LOT going on. In the dream, he
told me that my father had a big affect on "him" from a conversation
that he had had with him while trout fishing. Then I woke up.
My family is a good family but TOO MUCH into "image".
Soooooooo.......
As I was thinking about how the Holy Spirit has NOT worked in our
family, the Lord showed me a record player and, while watching,
the stylus (or arm which holds the needle) just slid across the
record without picking up ANYTHING!!! In other words, it "looked"
like a record but, Obviously, the part of the record that was
supposed to be "grooved" was NOT, it was EMPTY OF GROOVES
and produced "NOTHING" and the needle / arm (stylus) just slid
across to the end of the record. I thought about the scripture
where the Lord said, "I never knew you." I also thought of the
"pressure" that a plastic record is put under in order to "make"
the record. Somehow, we here in America have "learned" (perhaps
through paying attention to too much "riches" - dream conversation)
how to "GET AWAY" from the "marks" which the Holy Spirit tries to
produce in our lives!!! In other words, it may not be the gospel
of prosperity but it works the same way when we put something
"between" us and the Holy Spirit working in our hearts!!!
Psalm 139 (New International Version 1984)
1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.
5 You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
Matthew 7 (KJV)
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter
into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my
Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:
depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
GOD BLESS YOU AND "THANKS" FOR YOUR TESTIMONY!!!!!!!!!!
Calvin
Calvin wrote:
"6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain."
I agree Calvin, Joseph is remarkable to have a family he can enjoy the Lord with, and having such a young family I know these are the best times to enjoy.
Having a family to spend eternity with enjoying the Lord is what I am looking forward to most, I feel in isolation here and am criticized for my consistent zeal of wanting to talk about it but few want to hear it.
Again Welcome Joseph, Calvin sure is a neat guy he figures a lot of things out, as you probably know since you said you have been reading for awhile.:)
That verse at the top of this entry is what I think keeps me "hooked" about God,
He always has something interesting to know about. and that too is what destroys his people he says, lack of knowledge,
maybe the interest of the "knowledge" keeps the "flame burnin",
I don't know but finding out the mysteries of God is pleasurable to me.
Greetings to you Calvin.. Thank you for your kind and encouraging words.. Sitting down at my desk, getting ready for service tonight, i am just refreshed by readingbyourbwords of encouragement...
Being going on for soo long without friendship and encouragements, so Rapture Flight and all of you are such a blessing to my soul...
I will baptise the people into the Kingdom and for Jesus.. Yet , if i may, i will thank the lord also for you on here, that is holding the fort and faith in our Lord...
Tonight is dedicated in part to Rapture flight,,, and for your ministry.... Amen!
Maranatha!
