It’s been heavy on my heart that
something is coming. For over 6 years I have been studying Biblical prophecy
under bible scholars Chuck Missler, Bill Salus, Perry Stone, Jonathan Cahn,
Mark Blitz, etc. Today we see the world
stage being set for numerous prophecies to be fulfilled. We see the rise of
apocalyptic driven ISIS, Iran steaming toward nuclear power, Christians being
persecuted around the world in numbers never before seen. There is a rising
fervor around the globe that screams, “Something is coming. SOMETHING IS
COMING!” But too many people don’t have a clue as to what. I am not one to fear monger or focus on the
negatives of this world. I choose to focus on Jesus and the miraculous
manifestation of HIS glory here on earth. And yet, today as I focus on Jesus I
hear Him telling me to speak His TRUTH, and the Truth is HE IS COMING BACK. We
don’t know when, but as scripture tells us, be watchful for the signs. Whether you are a pre-trib or post- trib
believer, a consensus is growing that before He calls His Bride home, we will
experience pain and persecution like never before. A common belief is that this
persecution is going to prepare Christ’s Bride; she will be purified and ready.
All Christians need to prepare their hearts and strengthen themselves in the
Lord so they may face the coming deception and persecution with grace and
unwavering faith. We also need to be reaching out to others who do not know
Jesus or His message of grace, love and forgiveness.
With all the distractions that our
electric paced world provides, it is not surprising that many have not taken
time to consider their eternal destination, their eternal purpose, or their
spiritual state of being. American
society worships the Gods of Entertainment, Comfort, Convenience and Satisfaction.
But there is more at stake than our physical state. The spirits of many
Americans remain without salvation, even within the churches! Something IS
coming, it has been touted since the 2008 elections: CHANGE. In many ways
change has already arrived, but a bigger change is on the horizon and it will
shake our nation to its very core. Those who are spiritually unprepared will
suffer greatly and live in fear without the hope and promise of Jesus. Unless…
Unless the Church steps out in
boldness, preaching the GOOD NEWS. We are the ones who can offer life in a
world that is dying. Jesus’ sacrifice must not be wasted. We cannot remain as
prisoners of war in spiritual bondage of fear and anxiety and insecurity. The
news broadcasted around the world is bad! The world economy is in free fall,
wars and rumors of wars abound. But we have news of HOPE! The time is getting
shorter, it may not be this year or the next, but your unsaved friend might die
tomorrow. Did you share Jesus? Will you
regret missed opportunities?
The birth pains are increasing.
There may be an easing up, just as in a natural birth the contractions roll in
like waves and recede. Yet, the contractions are increasing with less easing;
the pain will only be intensifying in the years to come. I believe this is
happening so prophecy may be full-filled and allow for the ushering in of the
one world government. The bible tells us
what is coming. No one believed Israel would ever be a nation again, yet God’s
word promised it more than 2,000 years before it came to be. I just want to
encourage my fellow believers to become watchmen- look at the signs and
warnings, know what the bible says is coming and prepare.
How do you prepare? Get your heart
into a place of repentance; seek Jesus and dive into God’s word. Pray without ceasing; let your life be a
living prayer of praise! The good news is that there has been an incredible
outpouring of the Holy Spirit these past few years. There is a momentum of
faith building and growing all over the world! So as the bad news abounds, and
we prepare for darker times that are promised in scripture, we abide in the
shadow of the almighty and dwell under His wings! He protects His beloved and
surrounds us with His angels and sends them before us to prepare the way for
us! We can walk confidently into the unknown each day, because our God is for
us, who can stand against us? The promise is abundant life NOW; with peace
beyond understanding and joy beyond circumstances. For our joy is in Jesus, who
reigns in Heaven and will return to set up His kingdom here on Earth as it is
in Heaven. Be ready Bride of Christ, your Groom has pursued and waited for you!
HE'S COMING!
