I unsubbed from Brenda's channel sometime in November. I kept giving her the benefit of the doubt, accepting that she was interpreting as best she knew. And the lady knows her Bible.
The failure of her timeline and event dates was the final straw. It hit me that she did not have the TRUTH.
The Spirit of TRUTH was missing.
Does she hear the voice of (TRUTH) Jesus?
"My sheep hear My voice and they follow Me."
Before I unsubbed I skimmed her OSAS gospel viewpoint - a series of videos she made to explain the non-offensive doctrine. She has so much knowledge and authority that the majority of her viewers would not see what is missing.
I did.
Today I saw a new & updated (3) raptures video.

It sounded like her old version with new dates.
The comments were mostly praise with a few protests.
Here is a quote from Brenda from one comment.
*******************
"The only requirement that I have seen in scripture regarding our qualification to be raptured, is the presence of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. He is the 'guarantee' of our future salvation...our glorification...and subsequent rapture".
*******************
I think that statement explains the easy-way rapture;
In her version, every single 'believer' goes in 1 of the 3 raptures she claims are in Revelation. A few believe that their pets may be included. I am not kidding.
This belief is similar to receiving a 'certified proof of eternal salvation' when a new believer repeats an ABC prayer and then, basically carries on with life as usual.
No works, fruits or striving to be an overcomer are ever needed if OSAS. Making no efforts towards holiness or righteousness. Or repentance. Encouraged to 'try' to stop sinning. Most insist they cannot.
Because these believers think they are forever saved, 'no matter what' they wait & watch for the rapture. And if they miss Brenda's first rapture, there are 2 more, so don't worry. These rapture watchers main focus is escape. That's it. No seeking, obeying or following Jesus or desiring to KNOW Jesus in a personal relationship.
They truly believe this easy salvation & easy rapture.
Brenda says all you need is have the Holy Spirit in your heart. This is the easy way. The Broad Way.
They're lulled with easy words that make them feel ready to go.
"Depart from Me. I never KNEW you." is what Jesus will say to those who tried to come in the EASY way.
The door was shut on the ark. The door was shut to the foolish virgins. The DOOR WAS SHUT.
Few people seek or find the Narrow WAY. The TRUTH. Jesus IS the NARROW WAY. Seek, find & know Him.
The rapture preachers & teachers are there to OBSCURE your vision. They give you their own understanding. Few teach TRUTH, if any! These rapture people distract you with clever insights, knowledge & encouragements but they lead you astray.
Try to understand; Your eyes (your focus) should be on Jesus. Love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Devote yourself to Him. Hear His voice.
Jesus knows His sheep. They wait & listen for His call. They do not listen to anyone else.
