NOW THE END BEGINS SHARE:

Our Bibles Behind Bars program is bearing fruit and much fruit thanks to the faithful prayers and generous giving of God’s people

A prisoner in the Port Saint Lucie jailed heard the gospel, and accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour. Shortly after getting saved, he was given one of the free King James Bibles provided by Bibles Behind Bars, in this case a Ruckman Reference Study Bible, and when he was told it was his to keep, he broke down in tears of joy and gratitude, clutching it tightly. This is what all these free Bibles actually mean to the men and women who receive them, it is their lifeline, and a shining light in a dark place.

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.” Psalm 68:11 (KJB)

Here is an excerpt from the letter sent to the Chaplain’s assistant today:

“I would like to say thank you for the kindness you showed to my son, (name withheld), while he was a resident at Rock Road. The Bible he was able to take with him means a great deal to him. If I understand correctly you are the reason he has the Bible and you are the reason he was able to take it with him. Staying in the Word, as he puts it, is the most important part of his life, and thanks to you, he is able to do that” – sent by his mother.

Let me ask you, what is a letter like that worth? I can tell you what it’s worth to me. It’s worth every one of the hundreds of hours we spend every year on the operations of our free Bible programs, it’s worth every one of the tens of thousands of prayers that have been put up by the saints, and it’s worth every penny of the vast sums of money that it takes to send out over a hundred thousand free King James Bibles in a year’s time. To paraphrase Moody, “yes, YES, a thousand times yes!!”

I have been dragging a little recently, recovering from a nasty bout with COVID and dealing with a lingering and persistent cough, but seeing this letter about the inmate who cried literal tears of joy when he was given a Bible through Bibles Behind Bars hit me like a triple shot of espresso! Can you image the harvest that awaits us in Heaven from doing what the Lord has called us to do here and now? I get giddy with excitement when I think about it, I truly do. Please keep our free Bible programs in your prayers, the Lord is answering them in a mighty way. And please, if the Lord has prospered you, we ask you to donate and be as generous as you can be. I am praying and believing on the Lord for a large NTEB warehouse filled in the back with tens of thousands of Bibles, New Testaments and scripture portions, with the Bookstore and our shipping center in the front. To get there will take tons of prayer and a boatload of money, but God’s people are able to do it through Him that has called us. TO THE FIGHT!!!

Now The End Begins is your front line defense against the rising tide of darkness in the last Days before the Rapture of the Church

When you contribute to this fundraising effort, you are helping us to do what the Lord called us to do. The money you send in goes primarily to the overall daily operations of this site. When people ask for Bibles, we send them out at no charge. When people write in and say how much they would like gospel tracts but cannot afford them, we send them a box at no cost to them for either the tracts or the shipping, no matter where they are in the world. We have a Gospel Billboard program. We are now broadcasting Bible studies, Podcasts and a Sunday Service 5 times a week, thanks to your generous donations. All this is possible because YOU pray for us, YOU support us, and YOU give so we can continue growing.

But whatever you do, don’t do nothing. Time is short and we need your help right now. The Lord has given us an open door with a tremendous ‘course’ for us to fulfill that will create an excellent experience at the Judgement Seat of Christ. Please pray for our efforts, and if the Lord leads you to donate, be as generous as possible. The war is REAL, the battle HOT and the time is SHORTTO THE FIGHT!!!

This Week We Received An Urgent Call For 1,200 King James Bibles For Both The Sebastian Detention Center In Arkansas And Ocean County Jail In New Jersey

Published

on

NOW THE END BEGINS SHARE:

The Lord has opened up a great door for us here at Now The End Begins, to put King James Bibles into jails and prisons all across America. Are you in?

Chaplain Todd wrote to us and said “We are the main detention center in the county located in Fort Smith, AR. We have an approximate inmate population of 365 – 400 (men and women). We give out between 30-40 Bibles per week. Thank you for any help you can give. We need KJVs in English.” The Lord has opened a door for us in Arkansas, and we will be sending out 500 King James Bibles to assist them in the work the Lord has given them. We also have an open door in my home state of New Jersey, as well.

For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.” 1 Corinthians 16:9 (KJB)

Chaplain JW Casey also wrote in and said “Good morning, and thank you for your service to our Lord. I am Chaplain J.W. Casey. I have been serving at the Ocean County Jail in New Jersey since early 2011. First as a lay minister asked to visit an inmate by his mother, then as a volunteer. In 2015 I was asked to serve as an assistant to the Chaplain. In 2017 I was ordained and took over the helm as Chaplain. We are a coed facility consisting of a population that ranges from pre-trial detention and minor infractions. Since much of the population is transitory,(less than one year) ministry is rather unique in that, just as Jesus did, you must get right to the point and deliver the truth.” Chaplain Casey ministers at the Ocean County Jail in Toms River, New Jersey, and we will be sending him right around 700 Bibles.

Now The End Begins is your front line defense against the rising tide of darkness in the last Days before the Rapture of the Church

Please continue to pray for us, and for wisdom for me especially, as we continue taking steps to print the NTEB branded King James Bible for our free Bible and Bibles Behind Bars program. It is exciting and intimidating at the same time. If the Lord has prospered your financially, we ask you to donate to help us continue to send out free Bibles at this level, and even higher than we are at the moment. It takes a lot of prayer, and a lot of resources to do all this. Praise the Lord we are doing it, all of us together, labouring in the Lord’s harvest field. TO THE FIGHT!!!

32 Years Ago Today, I Got Saved On A King James Bible From A Free Bible Program That Sat In A Box For 20 Years Just Waiting For Me To Open It

Published

NOW THE END BEGINS SHARE:

On March 14th, 1991, I opened up a free Bible from a free Bible program and got saved. 32 years later, all of us here at NTEB are doing that for others.

Today is my born again birthday, and it’s been 32 years since I first began to walk with the Lord Jesus Christ after reading John 3:16 in a King James Bible. A Bible that was produced to be given away for free, by Christians in the 1960’s, with a burden to see the lost get saved. On March 14th, 1991, I would open that Book that was prayed over, paid for through donations and sent out into the highways and hedges in the hopes that a few lost souls would be “compelled to come in”. Well, that lost soul was me, and I got gloriously saved! You know what the Lord gave me today as a birthday present? An urgent request for cases of King James Bibles to be sent to a prison in central Florida. Happy birthday to me!

“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11 (KJB)

The email I opened today read like this, “I am one of the chaplains here at Union Correctional Institution. It is a mixed population facility housing everything from death row, general population, to confinement population, and even a work camp. I was referred to your ministry from a friend of mine and believe it could be a huge blessing as the KJV Bible is probably the most requested Bible and the least donated Bible. A shipment of 150 KJV Bibles would be a blessing.’ Chaplain Scott Schwarzrock” His request was immediately upgraded to 200 Bibles and his order has order begun to be processed. This was possible because you pray for our free Bible program, and you donate so we can send these Bibles out on demand.

Last Friday, Patricia O’Reilly prayed to receive Jesus on a phone call with me after the Podcast. Then on our Sunday Service, a woman named Amber started asked questions in the chat room and she got saved. And every month thousands of King James Bibles, New Testaments and scripture portions are being shipped all across America, and into about a dozen foreign countries, can you just imagine the fruit all that will produce? We supply jails, prisons, nursing homes, detention facilities, as well as sending over a thousand King James Study Bibles to individuals who request them. The Lord has given us a very wide open door, will you help us to reach the lost with God’s preserved word? If the Lord has prospered you, please donate and be as generous as you can. Time is short, the labourer’s are few, and the fields are ripe unto harvest…TO THE FIGHT!!! 

“Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.” Luke 10:2 (KJB)

Will You Help Us To Send 700 King James Bibles To The Houston County Detention Center In Perry Georgia? The Need Is Great, The Time Is Short..TO THE FIGHT!!

Published

NOW THE END BEGINS SHARE:

Would you take a moment to help us send 700 King James Bibles to the Houston County Detention Center in Perry, Georgia?

The email we received through our Bibles Behind Bars website was cordial, short and to the point, quite typical of the type of emails we receive. Chaplain Carrick of the Houston County Detention Center in Perry, Ga wrote  “We are a 665-bed Sheriff’s Office detention facility housing male and female inmates who have been sentenced or awaiting trial and are located in the middle Georgia area approximately 75 miles south of Atlanta on I-75. This is a great opportunity to get the message of Christ out to everyone.” I answered back immediately that 700 Bibles would be arriving there soon. And that was that.

“And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.” Acts 16:9,10 (KJB)

Sometimes it seems like the Lord is using all of us here at NTEB to open up a type of Bible pipeline, to blast out His preserved word to jails and prisons in America, as well as to missionaries on the foreign fields, as a hedge against the gathering darkness. I never spent a night in jail, but my salvation came through a King James Bible provided through a free Bible program that burdened Christians at that time prayed over and paid for. Even more amazing, that Bible where I read John 3:16 for the first time sat in a damp basement for 2 decades, untouched and unnoticed, right up until the night where the Holy Spirit touched me to go get it, and get saved. I thank God just about every day for the Christians He raised up back in the 1960’s and ’70’s to make the word of God available to me when I needed it in 1991. That’s what you and I are being used to do right now in 2023. Man, oh man, what a thing.

It blows my mind to think that we are so close to the Rapture of the Church that some of these Bibles we are sending out won’t be opened until the time of Jacob’s trouble when the 144,000 are commissioned and sealed. Can you just imagine, Tribulation saints huddling in a safe house, avoiding the police of the Antichrist government, and gathered around one of the King James Bibles we sent out before we were removed? That scenario, while quite wild I agree, is not only possible, it’s likely. Highly likely.

Please pray for the ministry of Now The End Begins as the Lord continues to expand our reach and influence. And if the Lord has prospered you, please pray about donating to our outreaches like Bibles Behind Bars and the Gospel Witness Billboard program. Donate and be as generous as you can be, the time grows ever shorter and there remains much work left to do…TO THE FIGHT!!!
