HOW TO BE READY FOR CHRIST'S (SOON) RETURN.
Please, share this lesson with your family, friends co-worker and all who you can, for the expansion of the Kingdom of GOD.

There are many people in this world today, even believers in Christ, who are what you would call 'prepping' for the end times. And what are they doing to 'prepare'? They are stock piling food. They are making underground bunkers. They are collecting and storing resources for the time of trouble. And yet they are lacking the ONLY thing that will make them READY for the return of Christ - FAITH! Does God need us to stock pile food and resources? No! Do we not realize who we serve? We serve the living God who can SPEAK things into existence! And God's Word assures us that our needs WILL be provided for us, IF we have faith.

Isaiah 33:16 ...'He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.'

Matthew 6:25,31-33 ...'Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on ... take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.'

Do you see? Our job is to have FAITH in God, not worry about 'stockpiling' for our own needs. God has promised that He WILL provide for us. Our most urgent need is to cultivate FAITH in God's Word.

Those who are seeking to provide for themselves are not exercising faith, but are ultimately trying to save themselves. But we know from the Bible that we can ONLY be saved by faith (Ephesians 2:8). Jesus told us the key to success and the best way to be prepared for His return:

John 15:4-7 ...'Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.'

Mark 8:34-38 ...'Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.'

Do you see? Abiding in Christ is the key to being prepared for His return. If we abide in Christ each and every day, denying ourselves, surrendering our lives to Him, allowing Him to dwell in us through His Spirit, then we will be ready. And by faith, we will be able to simply ASK for food and clothing during the time of trouble, and He will provide.

But I also need to sound a warning concering the churches of this world. You see, another sign of the end times is the coming together of the various churches in this ecumenical movement, under the banner of the Roman Catholic Church. Revelation 17 speaks of the 'Mother of Harlots' who would end up deceiving and controlling the world. The symbol of a woman in the Bible represents a church - (2 Corinthians 11:2, Isaiah 62:5). You can see our page WHO IS THE WHORE OF BABYLON to find out about her. But look at the following prophecy from Isaiah:

Isaiah 4:1 ...'And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.'

This speaks of a 'coming together' of women (the churches), taking the name of Christ, but saying ... "We want to do things OUR OWN WAY." They want to eat their own bread. What does bread represent in the Bible? The Word of God, which is Christ Himself (Matthew 4:4, John 6:35, John 6:51). So what are these women (churches) saying? They want to have the name of Christ, but do not want to live according to His Word, but by their own ways and 'traditions.' And that is exactly what the churches of the world today are doing. They are coming together in this ecumenical movement, rejecting God's Word and going their own way. Not only that, they also want to be clothed in their OWN apparel. And what does the Bible say about 'clothing'? Isaiah 61:10 says that we are to be clothed with the righteousness of God, in which is SALVATION! But the women (churches) want to clothe THEMSELVES! And that will end in separation from God and destruction with the world!

So my warning is - Please don't put your trust in the churches or leaders of the churches, as great deception is coming through them in these end times. But put your trust in Jesus Christ and His Word.

Dear friend. This world and all that is in the world is soon to become dust! So are you still holding onto this world or something in this world? Then you are holding onto dust! Please let it go and surrender your life to Jesus Christ, and you will have 'treasure in heaven' and an eternal life of joy and peace, where there will be no more pain, or suffering, or tears, or death (Revelation 21:4). Jesus is coming soon. Please give your life to Him today!
