    About this ebook

    This book, heartfelt and God-given, focuses on the dangerous times we live in. God spoke to author Jim D. Costello and asked him to warn the people of the dark hours that we live on planet earth. Our churches are in a spiritual coma. Gods very elect are being deceived by Satan.

    Our churches have become businesses; the love of money has waxed cold because pastors arent paying the price of praying. Our churches arent houses of prayer, but places of buying and selling. This book was inspired by God and written through very careful praying and fasting. This book was written to warn the elect that we are living in dark times. The rapture is now upon us, so look upour Redeemer draweth nigh.

    Jim D. Costello

    As a young man called of God at the age of twelve, Jim D. Costello started ministering to people in churches all over America. He was trained in the New Mexico desert for three years for the Special Forces in the Vietnam, where he received twenty-five commendations. When he returned to the United States, he was a decorated soldier with several medals, including the Bronze Star. In 1975, he started seminary, where he attended for eight years. He managed an advertising company and preached revivals at night. After fifteen years, he resigned from the company and evangelized for roughly five years all over the United States. God then spoke to him, telling him to start a church in Little Rock, Arkansas; he was pastor there for fifteen years.

      Dedication

      I am dedicating this book to my wife Christine Costello. She stood by my side over our years of marriage and ministry.

      She always wanted me to write this book of signs of the times. The closing moment before Jesus comes back. Paul said in God’s word, I’ve finished my race and have fought a good fight, and am ready to be offered up.

      You must endure hardness as a good soldier for Christ. Sorrows are at hand all around us. We live in a broken world with no one to fix it but Jesus Christ our Lord. Satan has come to rob, steal, and to kill.

      Look up; your redeemer is drawing closer and closer. Beyond religion waits a beautiful relationship with Jesus Christ that will change your life, but you have to deny self, pick up your cross and follow Jesus.

      A daily intimate relationship with Jesus strengthens you and girds your faith. Walking with Jesus these past months has given me strength and peace beyond my imagination to teach a bible study and to write this book. I’ve learned more about my Lord in past nine months spiritually then in my entire life. Jesus said I have come that you might have life and live more abundantly.

      I’ve started a brand new church here in Humboldt, Tennessee. Star of Zion, a nondenominational church. This is the second church I’ve founded for The Lord. To see souls saved are my greatest desire Christine has stood by my side all the way.

      Introduction

      Things that are happening on the earth in our lives are distractions to the children of God and all the signs of the last days are around us, everywhere. We can’t explain and it’s humanly impossible to understand why these signs are happening so increasingly on our planet called Earth. I believe that God is trying to wake up Earth but no one wants to hear what the Spirit is saying.

      The supernatural power of God has awakened me out of my spiritual coma to reveal what He has put in my spirit. About 6 months ago a doctor told me I had 2 ½ years to live at best. I felt the urgency of God to write this book to warn the just and unjust. We are living in dangerous times and they are getting worse and worse.

      I wish I understood what I’m writing, but only God our Supreme Being is telling me to write material like this and putting it in a book. I write this with all Godly love to all of us. I believe God made all of us human beings alike in many ways but yet so different is our sin nature bodies. The transformation of Satan in our lives is so stile and clever that he is so hard to recognize.

      The evil in this world is taking advantage of our weaknesses and it is getting darker and darker spiritually. We are in this spiritual war together: a house divided cannot stand.

      The church is not a shining light like it used to be forty years ago. Satan has rocked the church world asleep with the Angel of Light that most Christians can’t see it spiritually.

      The Lord many years ago impressed on my heart to write a book on dangerous times that we live in, and explain about the Angel of Light that is deceiving so many of God’s elect. In II Corinthians 11:14-15 King James Version, it says And no marvel: for Satan himself is transformed into and angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness: whose end shall be according to their works.

      Then God called and talked to me through His word and said "I the Lord have called thee in righteousness and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles. To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and those that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

      Behold my servant whom I uphold: mine elect in which my soul delighted. I have put my spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, not lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. He shall bring forth judgment unto truth. Jesus said I am the way the Truth and the Life. He is the true light. I’m not that light but I come bearing witness of that light. Jesus’ light is a transparent light that is so bright.

      I was called by God at twelve years old on a mountain cliff of Searcy, Arkansas, singing How Great Thou Art. Since then I’ve preached revivals and evangelized all over the U.S. including Hawaii. I built and founded a church in Little Rock, Arkansas. I’ve been ordained by two denominations. The church I founded in Little Rock was a non-denominational church.

      Over the past years I’ve been so impressed in my heart to write this book. I felt the need to warn all of us Jesus is coming soon, and we need to be ready to be offered up to Jesus.

      In the next pages I want to reveal to all of us things that God has put in my heart to warn us to open our eyes to and pray fully go back to the basics of our walk with God. God bless everyone who reads this book and understands what God is saying to all of us. As I try to warn God’s people I’m also warning myself. That what I’ve preached to others that I myself may become a castaway. There is a straight path that leads to Heaven. The path is narrow, a few of God’s people will find it, but
