Be Sure! Stand! Be Ready!

We are living in the last days as never before.  It’s in the word, it’s in the spirit and it’s in the atmosphere.  You can sense something about to happen.  There are some things we need to be sure of.  I love you enough to remind you of what is important in these days.  

#1. 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Be sure that you know Jesus Christ, that He is your focus & your life. Put your confidence in Him and His kingdom because His Kingdom stands sure.  When all else fail, and it will, His kingdom stands!

#2. 1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 

1 John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

How is your love life? There are things that love will not say or do. Pay close attention to your conduct. Love does not do hateful things!  

#3. Hebrews 12:14Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 

Be sure your lifestyle is one of holiness.  Without holiness you will not see God.  We may live in the world, but we do not live like the world!  If we look like the world, talk like the world, act like the world and follow the world, we are the world!  Be separated! 

#4. 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Luke 18:1And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 

Spend time in the word of God and prayer.  Feed your spirit by communing with the Lord! Know the Way by studying the Way!
#5. 1 Corinthians 11:Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

Be sure you have solid, Godly, mature leadership.  In this end time the first ones to be deceived will be those who are not attached nor accountable to anyone.  Don’t be a fault finder!  Get connected!  Paul told others to follow him as he followed Christ!  

#6. Genesis 8:22While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Proverbs 3:9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:10 so shall thy barns be filled with plenty,
and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

Be a giver.  Sow your tithe into the Kingdom of God through your local church.  God will cause all grace to abound towards you as you sow your tithes and offering. There is seed time and there is harvest!  Sow!  

#7.  Matthew 25:1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so;lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Get filled and stay filled with the Holy Spirit.  Be prepared for the Lord’s coming!  When He comes, He will just call the Holy Ghost home!  Those who are filled will be caught up!  This life is about the Kingdom of God and Christ influencing society!
