Ray Bentley

Pastor Ray Bentley says, we all have a choice about our personal walk of faith. When you walk in the light and have fellowship with God, you have more joy and peace and love and all the fruits of the spirit. You turn your back on God. You dive into the darkness. You're going to be the opposite of love and the opposite of peace.

Pastor Ray Bentley urges us to follow the example of the Apostle John and how we relate to Christ. John came, as did all the other disciples, to the awareness of who Jesus really was. Do you have a personal experience of the reality of the shining glory of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in your heart and in your life?

Pastor Ray Bentley says our words reveal who we are. I start talking, you hear the language in kind of a Southern California lingo. And and then I start telling you about where I was born and I grew up. And the more I talk, the more you get a revelation of who I am. Words reveal who we are to one another.

Today, pastor Ray Bentley warns about the great upheaval of the last days to come. He says it'll catch many off guard. The day of the Lord will hit unbelievers like a thief in the night, but believers are warned in advance. God tells us in advance what will happen. So we don't know the day or the hour, but we do know the general signs.

Watch on the horizon for the future. Pastor Ray Bentley says it's big. The world has already been through cataclysmic events, and the we don't know the day or the hour. We see signs, many signs in the world in our generation right now. What I see forecast in the outline God's given to us is there are some cataclysmic events that are going to come, and the world will never be the same spread.

Pastor Ray Bentley says no matter what. Stand on the promises of God. It doesn't matter what we feel or what it looks like, or what circumstance says. Stand on the Word of God. It is going to happen because God spoke it, and he'll flatten circumstances and rearrange situations and it will come to pass. Isn't that a great piece to know?

Pastor Ray Bentley says God's judgment is decisive, but sometimes is held back because he knows the hearts of his children. God is patient with those who he knows will eventually repent. Turn around and they'll say, Lord, I'm so sorry. I was an insane man, I was crazy. What was I doing? Oh, forgive me Lord. Thank you for your grace and mercy.

Today, pastor Ray Bentley reminds us of the Bible's warnings against false teachers. It just grieves me, though, that there are still people that are susceptible to weird false teachings, false prophets, cults, and then there's money involved, and you kind of pay your way into the upper echelons of deeper secrets and knowledge and all the rest of it. So be watching and be, you know, wary and be warned.

Pastor Ray Bentley says revelation speaks to believers and unbelievers. God says, I love you. I made you. I want you to be adopted and born into my family. I've made a place for you. I want you if you want me. We're together for all of eternity. God loves you. That's the message to the unbeliever, to those who are believers. His message, basically from the book of Revelation, is this. Don't quit. Don't give up.

Some people want to focus on some spiritual experience they've had. Pastor Ray Bentley says, focus on God's Word. The Word of God is even better than an experience because the Word of God abides forever. God says, I've exalted my word above my name. Therefore you do well to take heed to the written word of God. Heed the word as a light that shines in a dark place.
