PRE-TRIB RAPTURE, ISRAEL & THE CHURCH – ARE YOU REALLY READY? In this live Bible study, Senior Pastor Louis Lupo walks verse-by-verse through Isaiah 63, Isaiah 55, 1 Thessalonians 4, Matthew 24–25, Acts 1, Genesis 3 & 7, and Revelation 14 & 21 to answer a huge question: What’s the difference between the Rapture of the Church and the Second Coming of Christ to Israel – and what does that mean for you right now? We unpack: Why Jesus on the earth = the Second Coming (for Israel) Why Jesus in the air = the Rapture (for the Church) Why the Bible points clearly to a pre-tribulation rapture The Noah days pattern: the ark, the shut door, and the “few” who enter The terrifying words “Lord, Lord… I never knew you” and how to avoid being that church How to live prepared: repentance, holiness, and walking rightly with the Lord today This channel is crying out for a true revival in the United States of America—bigger than Azusa Street, bigger than the First and Second Great Awakenings—while still loving and serving our brothers and sisters across the nations. If you’re tired of feel-good, compromised preaching and want straight Scripture, repentance, holiness, and preparation for the Coming of the Messiah, this teaching is for you.

Today’s teaching dives deep into Ezekiel 47 and the four levels of the anointing—ankle, knee, waist, and the river you can only swim in the direction of the LORD in obedience. This is a critical message for the end-time church, showing how the Holy Spirit increases His anointing in your life as you surrender, obey, and walk holy. This message will strengthen your salvation, deepen your walk with the Holy Spirit, and awaken a hunger to go far beyond “ankle-deep Christianity.” --If you feel stuck spiritually, this will show you how the river of God can carry you forward again. --If you’ve been wounded, bitter, or spiritually dry, this will show you how the Holy Spirit heals the waters. --If you want deeper anointing, this teaching is for you.

In this powerful follow-up to our End Time Prophecy series, Awakening Acts Podcast with Sr Pastor Louis Lupo tackles one of the most urgent messages for the church today: the rapture, the tribulation, and apostasy in the house of God. Pastor Lou walks through key scriptures—1 & 2 Thessalonians, Matthew 24–25, Genesis, Isaiah 26, Daniel 12, 1 Corinthians 15, Hebrews 11, Philippians 3—and shows why the church is not appointed to wrath, why the rapture is a rescue mission for a prepared bride, and how apostasy deafens the spiritual hearing of believers. With a strong call to repentance, holiness, and readiness, this message exposes the danger of a “bunker mentality,” challenges the modern, comfortable gospel, and invites you to live as a citizen of heaven, eagerly awaiting the soon coming of the Messiah. If you’ve ever wondered “Will the church go through the tribulation?” or “What does it mean to be shut out of the Kingdom?”—this episode is for you.

In this urgent end-time message, Sr. Pastor Louis Lupo teaches from Luke 18:8, Matthew 24–25, Revelation 3, and 1 John 4 on one of the most fearful warnings in the Bible. This teaching exposes end-time apostasy inside the church, not outside it. Pastor Lou shows how many believers can worship, read their Bibles, and still be deceived — asleep spiritually, deaf to God’s voice, and drifting toward destruction while thinking they are safe. The open door of evangelism we still have in the USA — and how others are dying for the Gospel in India, Nigeria, and the Middle East How racism, anti-Semitism, and lovelessness killed the Azusa revival and still threaten the American church. The definitions and stages of apostasy — and why the first sign is spiritual deafness. Why true repentance, holiness, and obedience are not optional, but the only road through the narrow gate.

In this powerful episode, Pastor Louis Lupo unpacks one of the most misunderstood doctrines in modern Christianity — “Once Saved, Always Saved.”

Is salvation a one-time event, or a lifelong covenant of obedience and holiness?

Ask yourself:➡️ Am I living in covenant faithfulness with THE LORD, or just claiming salvation without obedience?

We return to the Scriptures — from Mount Sinai to Mount Calvary — to rediscover God’s original plan for covenant relationship, walking through grace, faith, and obedience as inseparable parts of true salvation.

📖 Key Scriptures

2 Peter 2:19-21, Genesis 2, 16-17, Genesis 3:15

Hebrews 10:26–31 – A sober warning about willful sin after receiving the truth.

Hebrews 6:4-6, Number 15:30-31

Salvation is a Covenant, Not a Contract

God’s plan was never mere confession — it was covenant relationship rooted in obedience and love.

Grace Empowers Obedience, Not Rebellion

True grace teaches us to deny ungodliness (Titus 2:11–12).

The Covenant of Holiness Still Stands

The God of Sinai is the same God of the Cross — calling His people to be holy as He is holy.

OSAS Misinterprets Security Without Accountability

Eternal security is found in abiding, not in neglecting.

The last-day church must walk again in repentance, obedience, and holiness.

“The Three Parts of Holy Fasting — Returning to the LORD in Humility” Description: In this powerful teaching, Senior Pastor Louis Lupo leads a three-part journey into the divine mystery of holy fasting — not as a ritual, but as a covenant return to the heart of God. Through Scripture and revelation, this episode explores:

The Call to Fast: Why fasting is central to repentance and revival. The Heart of the Fast: How humility, prayer, and brokenness open the heavens for mercy. The Reward of the Fast: The spiritual power, healing, and restoration that follow obedience.

Listeners are invited to rediscover the holiness of true fasting as modeled by Jesus, the prophets, and the early church. This message calls the church to awaken from comfort, tear down pride, and seek the Lord with trembling and awe — for “when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face” (Matthew 6:17), that your Father who sees in secret may reward you openly.

This special episode of Awakening Acts Radio, taught by Senior Pastor Louis Lupo, unveils one of the most profound mysteries in all of Scripture: the two comings of the Messiah — first as the Lamb of God and soon as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.

With clarity and deep reverence, Pastor Lupo explains how the first coming of Christ fulfilled prophecy through His sacrifice at Calvary — bringing redemption, grace, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Yet the Word also declares a second coming, when the same Jesus will return in glory and power to judge the nations and establish His righteous Kingdom.

Listeners will learn how these two comings reveal the full plan of God for salvation and judgment, and why this generation must urgently prepare. This broadcast calls every believer, every church, and every nation to repentance and holiness — to separate from the world and await the Bridegroom with pure garments.

Key Scriptures:

• Isaiah 61:1–2 – The prophetic distinction between the “acceptable year of the Lord” and “the day of vengeance of our God.”
• Luke 4:17–21 – Jesus reads Isaiah’s prophecy but stops midway, marking the first and second advents.
• Revelation 19:11–16 – The return of Christ as the conquering King.
• Acts 1:10–11 – “This same Jesus… shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven.”

Themes:

• The humility of the first coming vs. the glory of the second
• The Bride’s preparation for the Rapture
• The call to holiness in the final hour
• The prophetic timeline of redemption and judgment
