Below is an advance copy of my upcoming article for Rapture Ready. Share if you’d like.
The holidays are here, more aptly, the holy days, that time of year when we celebrate the birth of Jesus. Set aside the arguments of when, specifically, the Christ child was born, and most believers will agree that December is a time when even those who don’t know Jesus as Savior are more willing to consider His birth. That’s a miracle in itself. There’s something special about this month in the hearts and minds of most, but what I’ve noticed over the years is how the trappings of the act of Christmas tend to overshadow the birth that Christmas observes. I’m as guilty of that as anyone.
We, as rapture watchers, need something true and excellent and lovely and pure to fix our eyes upon, something besides the evil of the WEF, the UN, the WHO, the IMF, the …, well, you get it.

Lisa,
Eye catching title and inspirational article reminding us how easily we can fall into the ploy of the enemy’s deception through distraction to keep us from focusing our hearts and minds on the real reason for the holy season which is the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus and the reason he came. Thank You. To God be the glory!
Blessings,
Karen Rice
Thank you Lisa for your reminder to stay focused on Jesus. Isaiah 26:3 He will keep in perfect peace who thoughts are steadfast on Thee, was the very first verse the Lord gave me when I was deep in depression. Love that verse and I really try with the help of the Holy Spirit to keep my eyes on Jesus, the giver of every good gift. Always love reading your articles. It is encouraging to know that I am not alone when it comes to knowing that the rapture is near and we are watching for His soon return. Love and Prayers, Marilyn

I hope to see you in the air soon,
Lisa
