Greetings fellow classmates,

May I encourage you to pray for our nation? And in so doing may I also encourage you to watch the recent movie put out by Johnathan Cane, "The Harbinger of Things to Come". The movie may now be watched online from several sources.

The Harbingers of Things to Come (2022) - IMDb.

After watching that movie completely, then read what God has to say about His dealing with Mystery Babylon in the book of Revelation chapters 17 and 18.

https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/mclean/kjv/Rev.17 (Audio reading)

After watching the movie and reading these two chapters, then go the following link and watch the presentation "2023 End Times Prophesy" (Copy and paste it into the top window of your web browser).

Then consider this question, "Is the trump of God now being sounded for the people of God to go into the harvest?"

Sincerely,
Gary Anderson

End Times Prophecy in Sequence
by Gary Anderson (sonriseministry@yahoo.com)

1. No sign given to this generation except that of Jonah. (Matthew 24:37-40 KJV)
2. Israel is protected from invasion by the “eagle’s wings” which is the USA. (Rev 12-14)
3. The fall of Mystery Babylon as a world power which is the USA. (Rev 18)
4. Nations surrounding Israel will attempt to invade it from the North through the land of Syria. (Psalms 83)
5. The city of Damascus becomes a ruinous heap from a nuclear bomb by Israel. (Isaiah 17:1).
6. A seven-year peace treaty will be enacted between Israel and the surrounding nations. (Dan 9:27)
7. A condition of Israel signing that peace treaty is to be allowed to rebuild their temple. (Dan 9:27)
8. As Israel rebuilds their temple, two witnesses prophesy in Jerusalem for 3 ½ years. (Rev 11:1-6).
9. The Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached unto all of the world by true believers in Jesus. (Matt 24:4-14)
10. Then the Anti-Christ kills the two prophets and proclaims himself to be God. (Rev` 11:7-10).
11. After the two prophets lay dead in the streets they are raised from the dead and ascend into heaven with the whole world watching. (Rev 11:11-14)
12. It is at this same moment that God will also take up His worldwide church in the twinkling of the eye to meet Jesus in the clouds, the rapture of the true believers in Jesus Christ. (1 Cor 15:51-58)
13. Gog and Magog will attempt to invade Israel from the land of the North, which is Russia. But when the people of Israel realize that there is no hope for them against their attacker, they will repent and turn to the Lord Jesus for their deliverance. (Eze 38-39)
14. When God then destroys the invading army, the Jewish people will then realize that indeed Jesus is their Messiah and will anoint 144,000 of their sons to go into all the world to preach the Gospel of Jesus to all nations. (Rev 7)
15. Then God will release His wrath upon all of the world to reap the harvest of those who will not accept themark of the beast and put to death those who do accept the mark of the beast and chose to persecute those who did not accept the mark. (Rev 14-19)
16. All nations will fall, including the USA. (Daniel 2:40-44).
17. After completion of the remaining 3 and ½ years of the seven-year tribulation, Jesus will return to the earth to cleanse it of all of those who will not receive Him as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He will also cast Satan and the demons into a pit while He and His body of true believers, who He has raised from the dead shall reign on this earth for another 1,000 years. (Rev 20).
18. At the end of the 1,000 years, God will let Satan and His demons out of the pit that they may go into all the earth attempting to cause those who are now dwelling on the earth to rebel against Jesus Christ. But Jesus will cast them and the false prophet who joined with Satan into the Lake of Fire. (Rev 20)
19. Then will come the second resurrection and judgement of all who have refused to accept the death of Jesus for their sin, and they will also be cast into the lake of fire eternally. (Rev 20)
20. And then God will destroy the heavens and the earth with fire and make a new heaven and a new earth and He will come to the new earth to be a Father to His sons and daughters. (2 Pet 3:1-18 and Rev 21-22).
21. It is God’s desire to dwell with His family of true believers in His Son Jesus and tp dwell with His adopted sons and daughters who have chosen to love Him as their father and have indeed learned to love each other, even as He has loved us.


Well fellow classmates, we have completed our last earthly reunion, and what a blessing it was to have seen each of you there. As I looked at the numbers of those who have passed away before us until the year 1999 we lost an average of 1.3 classmates per year. Since then, our agerage of losses per year have been 5.7 classmates per year. And with the national average death rate in the US being age 83 for man and 86 for women, this means that for those of us still here, we will be loosing about 12 females and 23 man per year. Perhaps it may be time to make plans for what may be ahead in the very near future for each of us.

You know, even though there are no further reunions planned for our class here at this age in which we live, there is yet one more reunion we can look forward to. That reunion is the gathering together in the clouds to meet with our Lord Jesus. And then to join with Him and each other in the marriage feast of the Lamb with His bride, we who have chosen to be part of His church of true believers who believe in in His death for us, and in His resurrection and ascention to be with the Father in Heaven.

To be invited to that reunion what if needed for each of us to do the following: May God Bless you?

God’s Plan of Salvation

The Bible says there is only one way to Heaven

Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.” (John 14:6)

Good works cannot save you. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God- Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Trust Jesus Christ today! Here’s what you must do:

1. Admit you are a sinner. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” (Romans 3:23) “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12) “If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (1 John 1:10)

2. Be willing to turn from sin (repent). Jesus said: “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” (Luke 13:5) “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.” (Acts 17:30)

3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried, and rose from the dead. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners. Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) “That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

4. Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life to become your personal Saviour. “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:10) “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)

What to pray:

"Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Saviour."


Hey Classmates

May I encourage you to go to the website "gwmkc.org" and click on "Discipleship Training" tab and listen to each of the 30 minute series of audios I have presented regarding "The Milk of the Word". You will be blessed and each one you share your testimony with will also be blessed also. May God bless you even more than you have already been blessed yet in the days we each have yet remaining in this lifetime and in that which is to come.

Be encouraged,

Gary

PS:The series of messages on "The Milk of the Word" are as listed in your bible in Hebrews 6:1-3. These six basic "Oracles of God" are the fundamental building blocks in our spiritual growth according to the words of both Peter (1 Peter 2:2) and Paul (1 Cor 3:1-3). I encourage you to share these messages with your family and loved ones. My email address is . I look forward to hearing from you

May God bless you,

Gary

PS - May I also share with you this recent experience i had?

After graduation I met and married my beautiful wife and mother of our six children, Annette. I soon found out that she is an excellent cook and I gained an additional 125 pounds of extra weight since my slim 155 lb HS weight. I carried this weight for most of my adult life until our 50 year reunion when I joined the Weight Watcher (WW) program locally and dropped 60 of those extra pounds in six months.

I gained back 20 pounds after leaving the program in 2010 but re-entered WW last September. Since then I have lost another 40 pounds and am now down to 200 and reducing.

I would add that it was not only learning how to use the WW tools that helped me with this weight loss, but equally important then and now is my daily prayer to God asking Him for help to enable me to apply what I have learned from WW to my daily food choices, portions and exercise.

I must say that today I truly feel physically like I did back in HS when I really did not know what was ahead in my life regarding my eating and lack of exercise. WW is a worthy tool and may I encourage any of you who would like to trim down to give it a try. And don't forget the most important companion in that effort....Jesus Christ.

God bless

School Story:

I remember some really great times with our class at AHS. There were the Marching Band practices in the old football field behind the Career Building, the noon lunches in the cafeteria, and the great feeling as I left the main building and walked down those long steps and viewed the parking lot full of student's cars.

I remember the great times on Friday night dances at the Masonic Lodge in Upper Alton and the afternoon walk from the High School to Kerrs drug store to have the daily vanilla coke and share the day's events with our fellow classmates. The half time shows at the football stadium and cheering the basketball team on to one more basket at West Jr. High basketball court were always good.

And then there was Mr. "WWW's" math class, especially Geometry that was important to me. He sat me next to one of the cute cheerleaders and I made up my mind that I was not going to let her think I was a dummy in math so I studied really hard and made my only "A" in math. The cheerleader was not impressed, but I went on to use what I had learned in that class to become a draftsman and later a mechanical design engineer.

Thanks Mr. WWW. And Thanks fellow classmates for a memorable AHS experience.

Greetings fellow classmates. As I was viewing the lists of our members who have departed this life I noticed an average loss of one classmate per year until 1995 (age 53). Since then the rate of loss has increased to an average of 5 deaths per year which has varied from a low 3 to 8 per year. If we consider an average life expectancy for men and women of 82 and 86 years respectively, then this would mean that those previously listed loss rates will soon begin to increase to an average of 4 to 5 times the rate until now. this means we will soon increase to losses of 20 to 25 of our classmates each year.

Why am I writing these numbers to each of us?

Whether we are given one more day, a month, a year or a decade of years, we must soon face the real test question of our life.....Where do I go from here and am I prepared for that change in my lifetime? I sincerely ask you to pick up your Bible and begin to read the words spoken to us by Jesus beginning in each of the first four books of the New Testament. And remember what our English Lit teachers told us in class, "As you read, ask yourself the questions, ' Why did the author write this and what is the message they are trying to give to me as I am reading their words?' ". If Jesus is the author of those words written in your Bible, then as the author, He is the one to ask these questions.

And as you ask of Him keep in mind the words of James 1:5-6, " if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind." And also the words in Hebrews 11:6, "... without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him." And finally these words from Romans 10:17 " So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ". May I invite you to click on my photo icon above to read of my own testimony about how I met this Jesus in my walk through this life. Certainly He is Lord of lords and King of kings.
May God bless you.

Sincerely,

Gary Anderson

In the early summer of 2015 I was diagnosed with Melanoma skin cancer on my ear by a skin cancer doctor at a clinic in Lee's Summit, MO. He urged me to go immediately to the KU Cancer Hospital where they would remove part of my ear and a lymph node and then begin reconstructive plastic surgery to my ear. I was also diagnosed with a second type of skin cancer on my face which the doctor said he could remove by skin graft in his office. Well, this was not at all what I was expecting to hear at this stage in my life. And as I pondered what my decision would be concerning the options I was being presented with, my daughter told me of a good friend of hers who was given the same diagnosis but chose not to have surgery and within ten months he was gone. Needless to say all of my family were very concerned that I should immediately have the surgery. However there was one other option I had to consider. And that option was to ask God to heal me of both of these cancers and grant me full life to every day that He has chosen to give that life to me. I chose God.

Soon I came in contact with a fellow Christian believer who has been gifted with a healing ministry. His name is Don Ware and his ministry is found on the Internet at "gwmkc.org". I went to visit with Don and asked him to pray for my body to be free of the skin cancers which he did. After thanking him I then made arrangements to travel to visit my three younger brothers, perhaps for the last time before I went home to be with the Lord. Although I did not tell them of the purpose of my visit I did leave each of them with a new bible laying on my guest bed after I left. For the next few months I must say it was like the testimony of the three friends of Daniel before being thrown into the fiery furnace (Daniel 3:8-30). They had decided that " ...our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up. ".

When I returned to the doctor's office three months later and he examined me carefully, in his own words, "I do not see any sign of the melanoma on your ear, however I still see the skin cancer on your cheek". Well I praised God for the healing of the melanoma and believe that if God has healed me of the more aggressive cancer, then certainly He is going to heal me of the second cancer as well. After all, does God only perform half of a miracle and not finish the job? "No He does not!" I resolved within myself and I have continued in faith believing God for my complete healing.

Oh, and by the way, it was after that second visit to the doctor that I decided to join the Weight Watcher program and experience my second miracle. Read about it in the "Q & A" link above, you will be blessed.

If you would like to read more about the roll of the Holy Spirit of God in your bible, may I encourage you to click on the "Photo" icon in the upper right hand corner of this page. Then you will see a display of a card lists many of the scriptures in the bible that tell us about the Holy Spirit and how God has given Him to each of us who would choose to invite Him into our life.

Praise God and thank you Jesus and Don Ware for your promise fulfilled.
