Do not stifle the Holy Spirit.
Do not scoff at prophecies,
but test everything that is said.
Hold on to that what is good.
Stay away from every kind of evil.

Blessings of Conscious Choice
Always be joyful.
Never stop praying.
Be thankful in all circumstances,
for this is God’s will for you
who belong to Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Blessings Of Being With The Lord Forever
We tell you this directly from the Lord:
We who are still living when the Lord returns
will not meet him ahead of those who have died.
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven
with a commanding shout,
with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trumpet call of God.
First, the Christians who have died
will rise from their graves.
Then, together with them,
we who are still alive and remain on the earth
will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
Then we will be with the Lord forever.
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17
Blessings Of That Coming Day
…we want you to know what will happen
to the believers who have died
so you will not grieve like people who have no hope.
For since we believe that Jesus died
and was raised to life again,
we also believe that when Jesus returns,
God will bring back with him the believers who have died.

when our Lord Jesus comes again…
