Will You Be Ready?

There is so much going on in the world today. It seems as though nothing is a shocker anymore. One thing is for certain, we are living in the last days. Jesus WILL return. He will be looking for a church without spot or wrinkle (Ephesians 5:27). Will you be ready for His return?

I was watching a show on TV recently about the end times and the details surrounding the return of Christ. Some were saying that the book of Revelation was written for the time period it was written in, and some were saying that it is prophetic and applies to our life today. God’s word is living. It can be applied to the time back then. But, it applies to today as well.

In Matthew chapter 24, Jesus gives us details word for word about what to look for during the last days. When you put the bible side by side with the newspaper, it almost says the exact same thing. As I read this chapter, I can think of at least one event that has recently taken place in the world that coincides with the details Jesus has given us. In verses 4-5, Jesus tells us that many will come claiming to be the Christ. This makes me think about the numerous cults that have been on the news throughout the years, the cult leader claiming to be Christ. Verse 6, wars and rumors of wars. Reading that I thought of the continuous conflict in the Middle East. The famines and pestilences mentioned in verse 7 brought the H1N1 situation to mind along with the hunger and starvation around the world. Earthquakes are mentioned in verse 7 as well. The most recent being the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010, the earthquake that struck Japan in 2011, and a smaller earthquake that took place on the east coast in August of 2011. These are just examples of recent events in the world. There have been other events with in the past 10 years that line up with this chapter as well. Jesus warns us about false prophets in verse 11. There are many false prophets. Those that claim that they are real but they are just wolves in sheep’s clothing. Another thing mentioned during the show that I watched is there are some people trying to predict when Jesus will return. Matthew 24:36-44 tells us that no one knows the hour. Only God knows the hour.

How you live here on earth determines how you will spend eternity. The question I want to ask you is have you accepted Jesus as your personal Savior? Jesus said in John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” You can’t get to Heaven any other way. Accepting Jesus into your heart and into your life is not hard at all. If you would like to accept Him into your life take a moment to pray and ask Him. You don’t have to use fancy words. There is no secret method. You simply say something like this:

“Jesus come into my heart. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins. I believe that You are Lord. I repent for the wrong that I have done and I ask for your forgiveness. Amen”

If you really believe than you will be saved. It’s that simple.

Being ready for Jesus’ return does not mean to walk around paranoid. God gives us instructions on how to live in His word. We will never be perfect. But if we press toward the mark everyday and rely on God to help us with every aspect of our lives, we will reach the finish line.

A friend from Polyvore shared this video with me and I thought I’d share it with all of you…

Wake Up Part 2 of 2

Sometimes, it seems as though Christians are in a state worse than the non-believers. Romans 13:13 says “Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy” Sadly, many of God’s people get caught up in these things. How can we get the work that God has called us to do done if we are the ones on the alter every week begging for forgiveness? I understand that we are not perfect. We will not be perfect until we get to Heaven. However, there are somethings that we should be past by now. Yet, we still get hung up on them time after time.

Ladies, time is running short. These are the last of the last days. We will have to give an account of ourselves to God (see Romans 14:12). We will be held fully responsible for our words and actions. God loves us so much. He doesn’t want any of us to be left behind and shut out of Heaven. He tells us how to live right and He gives us numerous opportunities to repent. Let’s get our acts together. Romans 13:14 tells us how to do it. It says “But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts” It is really simple, just put on Christ.

Wake Up! Part 1 of 2

admin — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 13:00:19 +0000

Many of you may be familiar with the wake up calls you get by request from hotels. The phone rings really loud, jolting you out of your deep slumber. When you pick up the phone, there is a polite voice on the other end (as if the polite voice makes up for the loud disrupting ringing the phone made) telling you it is time to get up. I look at Romans 13:11-14 the same way. It is a wake up call for us as Christians to straighten up and fly right. Romans 13:11 says “And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed” Have you ever heard someone get fed up with something and say “It is high time I…”? Well, this is no different. The scripture is telling us that it is high time we wake up and get it together as Christians.

Next, verse 12 tells us that the night is far spent. This means we don’t have very much time. Jesus will return sooner than most of us act like. Many times we breeze through life doing and saying whatever we want. Ephesians 5:27 says that Jesus will be looking for a church without spot or wrinkle. We go about our day, not thinking about how wrinkled and dirty we are getting. We can look at Romans 13:11-14 as a call to wake up and get ourselves to the cleaners.
