I AM DIRECTING PEOPLE TO LIFEBOATS OR DECK CHAIRS?
Prophet Martin Young
Oct 30, 2005

TO THOSE CALLED TO BE SAINTS:

The Body of Christ is like passengers on the ocean liner Titanic. We are steaming full speed ahead through all the "icebergs" of difficulties, trials and troubles that assail the church today. The farther we go into these "last days", the more "icebergs" there are going to be hitting the Church from every side, trying to sink her, but to no avail! As the Body of Christ begins to see more and more major "damage" being afflicted upon the Church, it will trigger two different types of responses within our ranks.

One group of BELIEVERS will remain steadfast and will be SOUNDING THE ALARM (continuing to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom and the soon coming of our Lord Jesus Christ) as they rallying as many as will RECEIVE THEIR MESSAGE on deck and getting those faithful few into the LIFEPRESERVERS and LIFEBOATS . They will write, preach and prophecy what the Lord gives them by revelation straight out of His Word and the power of the Holy Spirit will be upon them and all they are doing at that time for His kingdom.

Helping people get into LIFEPRESERVERS represents helping them form and maintain a personal relationship with their Lord Jesus Christ. The LIFEBOATS represent the safety of remaining true to the Lord and His Word and the continual "assembling of ourselves together" as a group IN ONE ACCORD IN THE LORD.

When hard times begin to overtake the Church and Pastors are being jailed for their continuing to preach the truth of the Word of God, many CHURCH BUILDINGS will be shut down and their doors padlocked in an effort to DESTROY THEIR CHURCH. But, what THEY don't understand is, the buildings ARE NOT the Church, (Titanic) the SAINTS who fill these buildings ARE THE CHURCH!

The other group of BELIEVERS who have not been preparing themselves over time for these hard times, will become CONFUSED and DISORIENTED and will begin to say and do foolish things that will help NO ONE get on their LIFE PRESERVERS and help encourage them to get into the LIFEBOATS. The truth about their own personal position with the Lord will be revealed and will show that they have "fallen short of the glory of God" in their own relationship with the Lord and their having the ability to help others in the Lord as well. They will appear to be like those that were rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, acting as though they were "doing something" of significance, without really having done anything of any consequence for the Body of Christ. They will write, preach and prophesy "fluff" that means absolutely NOTHING of substance. They will essentially be ineffective in helping themselves or others find and maintain their relationship with the Lord.

I know that some in this group might say to me, "I am sure YOU think that you are one of the GOOD GUYS and will have it all together when that time comes" I really don't think that way. When I preach this way to YOU, I am preaching to MYSELF first! I struggle to maintain my relationship with the Lord just like YOU! And I say to myself like the Apostle Paul said to himself, "I do not want to PREACH TO OTHERS and then fall away and become a CASTAWAY MYSELF!" What I write and send out, I do so with frear and trembling before the Lord. That is WHY I continually ask for your prayers for me and this ministry. My faith and hope for all of US is in Christ alone to keep me and you until that Day.

In Christ alone,

Prophet Martin Young
