God Speaks to Pastor
B.H. Clendennen
[Pastor Clendennen speaking:]
For many years, in the church I pastored, we had an all-night prayer meeting the last Friday night of every month. One such Friday night, out of four-hundred members, there were forty-one of us present. As I was praying, I heard this Word from the Lord: “You are looking at the Rapture from this church.” That Word got my attention. You are preaching to four-hundred people on a Sunday. You’ve got forty people in a prayer meeting, and God says these forty people represent the Rapture!

I stopped short, and in my heart I said, “Do you mean if You
came tonight this is all that would go?”
God said, “I mean, that if I cannot call a man to a prayer
meeting, I could never call him to the Rapture.”

====================================================
According to a message that was preached at Times Square
Church by David Wilkerson and recorded in his newsletter of February 18, 2008, Only
the Bride of Jesus Christ will go in the Rapture. All other Christians will be
left behind.
David Wilkerson continues in his message as recorded in his
newsletter in the third column on the last page:
“Let me ask you again: Are you ready?
Have you begun to love the thought of Christ’s
appearing? Paul says: ‘Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of
righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day:
and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.’ (2nd
Timothy 4:8, my italics.)
“James urges us likewise: ‘Be ye also patient; establish
your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.’ (James 5:8) ‘Unto
them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto
salvation.’ (Hebrews 9:28)”
“Finally, Paul writes, ‘For the grace of God that bringeth
salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and
worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present
world; looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great
God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem
us from all iniquity and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good
works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority.’
(Titus 2:11-15)”
Pastor Wilkerson continues in the closing words of his
message:
“I’ve got a crown waiting for me, because I love his
appearing. [Do you?] I am ready. Come, Lord Jesus.”
So, to repeat, according to a message that was preached at Times Square Church by David Wilkerson and recorded in his
newsletter of February 18, 2008, Only the Bride of Jesus Christ will go in the
Rapture.
All other Christians will be left behind.
