These days require us to filter a mixed bag of emotions through our analytical, spiritual and sympathetic minds. The Lord has chosen us to be alive during this important time. He knows how difficult these times will be and has provided us the gifts, skills and supernatural ability to fulfill His will for our lives. Why then do we not see verifiable evidence/urgency on the part of declared believers?
We know and abide in the Word of God about the coming judgment upon this world, but if you are like me there are some pockets of resistance to the idea that Jesus may return for us tonight. Imminent is a tough idea to bring to consciousness without complete surrender. We certainly do hope for, pray for and expect Jesus to return at some point. It may be that we are hoping that He will do so after we have had time to complete all the plans we have drawn up on our whiteboard of world significance. Maybe we don’t want to believe that what we have will soon be insignificant.
I do not presume in arrogance to speak for all the elect, but perhaps my words elucidate objects concealed below the calm surface of each body. This world’s collective sin has grown in severity. The health of the world has gone from chronic illness to critical and absent revival will soon perish of its own accord. Contrary to what the educated masses would have us believe there are no empirical, scientific or astrological solutions for this ailment. The only verifiable answers are found in scripture as all prophecy points to the person of Jesus Christ and His inevitable rule as Lord of all.
There is only complete truth. There is no point on the scale of believability that accounts for “nearly true” or “almost honest”. Belief is confidence in, conviction or acceptance of something as truth. If I say that I believe that the Lord may return this evening and yet I do not demonstrate corresponding faithful action it begs the question, do I truly believe? Evidence of faith before man is defined in our works. If thankfulness for my salvation does not call me to consequential obedient action, how strong is my faith? http://www.biblelineministries.org/articles/basearch.php3?action=full&mainkey=FAITH+WITHOUT+WORKS .
Your enemies mock You Lord, fools abound and the church has been permeated by the spirit of unbelief, loose doctrine and sanctimonious pride. We are collectively if not individually disobedient to Your directives. We make excuse for not sharing Your Word or the bounty that You have given us. We have chosen self over sanctification, traded participation in the world for prayer time and refuse to come out from unbelief or step away from unrepentant sin. Are there areas of my life that I have not surrendered, continue to justify or of which I refuse to speak truth? Search my heart Lord for those areas which resist Your truth. Those places which I or the enemy have established strongholds in defense against Your Word. Sound your trumpet and let fall the walls and idols erected to “self” or other gods. Cleanse me, prepare me, let all that I do honor and reflect Your grace. For these things I ask Your forgiveness Lord. I see the signs of Your return unfurling like a flag to the wind. I pray that if You have chosen this day to come back for Your children that I be found doing Your work with my eyes looking up in expectation. Come soon Lord Jesus.
The following you tube videos clarify and demonstrate the reality and importance of the times in which we live as they apply to prophecy concerning God’s chosen, the nation of Israel. I pray that this supporting evidence and the words that the Lord has me declare, move believers to a personal sense of urgency causing them to fulfill the Lord’s will for their lives. Because I believe that the Lord’s return is imminent (likely to occur at any moment, impending..definition from dictionary.com), I demonstrate my belief in that truth through doing what he told me to do TODAY!
