The sense of urgency. The knowledge that things are changing even as we speak. Do you feel any of this?
If you do, what are you doing about it? Are you shutting it out and thinking 'it's just another day.' How does your conversation with yourself about your life go? Do you pat yourself on the back because you are successful in this world? Do you work harder to get ahead because you want to feel secure? If you are saved, what are you doing to prepare for the rapture?
Yes, church, this message is to us! What are we doing with the talent(s) given to each of us? How are we spending our time? Are we seeking the Lord, reading the Word, praying for the lost and for our brothers and sisters? Or are we just going along 'same old same old'. Telling ourselves we want to be closer to Jesus. We want to pray more effectively. Are we reading books written by human authors or The Book written by Holy Spirit who gave the anointed Word to chosen men? Books that are not the Bible are flawed at best. Why? Because humans are the authors and the enemy of our souls subtly introduces errors - that we may never see - into these books and articles. Do we really think God wants us to spend what precious time we have left in books on 'how to' rather than in praise and worship then sitting at the feet of Jesus with the Bible and letting Holy Spirit teach us?!!!
James 1:5 (KJV)
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Hebrews 4:12-13 (KJV)
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
2 Timothy 3:15-17 (KJV)
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Abba, Father, please touch each one that reads these words and let them see the truth in what is being said. You gave me this message. I am obediently sending it forth. I ask for help in meeting and exceeding the standard You have placed here in this message. I fall so far short and only You can make me strong when I am weak. I ask for a vast blanket of protection and knowledge for Your Children to go out in these last moments on earth as we know it. In Jesus Name. Amen.
