Are You Ready | Elder Terence Atkinson

You're listening to a message to go from at church. We hope this message

will light up your day. Today's message is are you ready? Are you

ready? Usually when I share the Word of God, it's really very encouraging.

Well, today's message is encouraging, but from a different perspective. Okay.

Usually is one that I try and put a smile on your face.

I don't know about this one. This one, to me seems to be

a very sober word because sometimes the words that we have to hear from the

Lord are meat and not milk. And uh. You know those kind of

messages are the ones that are very sober. They leave you with a sense

of I cannot play around with this God. I cannot mess around it what

he is trying to tell me. I have to be serious and focused.

So let's look at Luke twenty one, and we're gonna hear some things from

the Word of God. And I hope that it will bless you as much

as it scared me. Not scared me, but prepared me for the days

ahead. Okay. And I'm going to read from verse seven and it says

so they asked him saying, teacher, but when will these things be?

And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place.

Now, this was a time when Jesus had just told them, you see,

this temple to be destroyed, you know, and he was talking about

the coming of the end of days, and his disciples asked him, the

people ask him, what are the signs of this that will take place?

I actually went into this word sign. And you know the fact of the

matter is when people want to ridicule you or they want to come after you,

the first person that they go after in your knowledge or in your life

is Jesus. They want to attack the lordship of Jesus in your life.

How many of you found that to be true? How many of you had

those kind of experiences where it seems that they want to come after your faith?

Well, I want you to know that this word sign actually means a

distinguishing mark that authenticates and establishes who Christ Jesus is the sign which indicate it's

that the Messiah will shortly or fought with come from heaven invisible manifestation. Do

you know that even when the people were asking Jesus what is the sign that

this is going to take place? You know what they were actually attacking Who

gives you the authority to speak? Who are you to say such these things?

Who are you to talk about this? What makes you so special?

How many at worker? Sometimes you say something and somebody gets angry and says,

what makes you so special? You see, you think you can say

this? Well, the people were actually asking when they asked him for a

sign. And you know, when you read it in English, you always

think it is so benign. You always think it's so innocent. What are

the signs that this thing is going to take place? It was not an

innocent question. It was a question that tried to indicate Jesus, you have

no authority to speak. You have no authority, You have no right to

say these things. But I can tell you in the first instance, if

there was anyone who had the authority to speak and say these things, I'm

not going to say it was because Jesus is. It is Jesus. And

you want to know that in the world today, when people try and do

things, they always try and actually diminish who Jesus is. They always seem

to attack Jesus. Right in verse eight, he says, and take heed

that you may not be deceived, for many will come in my name saying

I am he, and that the time has drawn near. Therefore, do

not go with them. Do you know that throughout history since Jesus, Jesus

says I will return soon, and many of us have been wondering what that

word means soon. They even came up with a song soon and very soon

we are gone to see the King. You remember that song. No,

some of you are very young. Doesn't matter that. The fact of the

matter is that you must understand God. Okay, with God, one day

says a thousand years, and a thousand years is as one day. So

as far as God is concerned, he said this two days ago. You

have to understand God. Time for us means something, but time. Where

God is concerned. You must remember he is a god that is timeless.

He's eternal, so his understanding of time is quite different than ours. So

he says that many people are going to come saying that I'm here. The

first thing that they're going to attack in the last days is who Jesus is.

There will be many creatures and I call them creatures because they're real creatures,

to think that they are Jesus. They come on this earth saying that

they are Jesus. And you want to know what's the funny thing people follow

them? I tell you the latest one okay alive in this world today right.

His name is Sergey Anatolovich Torope. He is a long haird former traffic

policeman and as a leader of a sect described by many as a colp he's

called the Church of the Last, also known as the Siberian Jesus. Oh

you know, he walks around in long white robes. He's got a long

beard and long hair exactly like the pictures of Jesus that you see. And

he goes around saying that he is Jesus. Do you know that he has

got two thousand over followers. When someone says that they are Jesus, is

very easy to spot their fake because they will always give themselves up. They

will always do some crazy things that you will know that there's something warped in

their mentality. This guy's got two wives. Then he groomed a little girl

until the age of nineteen that he married her or he wants to marry her.

You see, they will always do some things that Jesus never did.

Can't spot them out? But why is it people can get caught up in

listening to them. Why is it people can get caught up in what they

say so that they throw in their belief with these guys. That depends on

us. You know what. It depends on our relationship with Jesus. You

know that the only way you and I are going to figure out things and

understand when Jesus comes and who Jesus is is our personal relationship with him.

So if you feel Jesus it's not important that you should speak to him every

day, If you feel maybe I can afford to go without his word every

day. And you and I were putting ourselves in very, very dangerous territory

because when people come with their lives, will we have enough of the spirit

of the Lord in us to tell the difference? You know, the Bible

say that even the elect, some of the elect can get taken up.

You know what that means. Why does scriptures say or did I not cast

out demons in your name? Or did I not hear in your name?

And he still says I never knew you. It is because they don't keep

the knowledge of Jesus forever in their hearts. You and I don't make that

mistake. You say The first thing to watch out for when people come in

they say things, is the trueness of what Jesus means to us. They

will attack that. The enemy will attempt to take control of what you think

and who the world thinks Jesus is. And if you don't have a relationship

with him, or your relationship in him is weak, you might not be

able to discern who Jesus is. In case you do not know, this

is a last Day's message. In case you don't know, this is a

warning for all of us, wanting for me, wanting for you. When

I went over these notes with Pastor, and because I get frightened when the

message is very hard, because I just want to make sure I'm hearing from

the Lord right. But when you hear this is another one. Okay,

But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified, for

these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately.

What descriptions say, do not be afraid. If you have Jesus residing

in your heart, there is nothing you need to be afraid of in spite

or despite what ever is going on around you. Scripture says you're going to

be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. How many of you know that

this is true today right now? The last time that I shared with you

a tight message was about how the world has gone crazy with their thinking,

right, men thinking that they are girls, and then the world trying to

change boys into girls and girls into boys. You remember that? Do you

know that? When I shared that all these things had not taken place yet,

and I shared with you the last time, then it took five years

for the world to go this crazy, for them to not be able to

tell what a woman is. You ask them a question, what is a

woman? Can answer? You ask a medical doctor can a man give bud?

And a donkey will say yes. I mean, if a medical doctor

says a man can give birth, I equateed to the donkey that spoke to

Bailman. She's a donkey. I actually saw this. Medical doctors say yes,

they can give birth. Why because one transgendered man kept his over eas.

He's not a man, he's a girl. He kept his over eas

started taking male hormones. Now he looks like a man because he's got a

beard and a mustache and all that sort of thing. But he still gave

birth. She gave birth. When I told you those things about a month

ago, I had no inkling that within one month things were really going to

take place, that was going to climax. When we pray that prayer,

I think from Jeremiah right, pray for the peace of for Jerusalem. When

we say that prayer, pray for the peace. Why would God tell us

to pray for the peace of some place that's not near us. It's because

everything that happens there affects us. If there's no peace there, there will

be no peace here. In the last one month, that little nation which

God had given and called his people is surrounded by enemies. It has basically

one friend in the form of the US. How many of you know that

in that land of the US there's protesting taking place at astounding and a staggering

level against this little nation so much shorted. They are also saying that this

nation has no right to exist. The EU is supposed to be friendly for

now. How many of you know that this will turn very fast because you

must remember that one nation that hates this little country is very very good terms

with Russia and China. Okay, and Israel has said that if they were

to attack her, she will take them out. And when she takes them

out, guests who will enter the fray? Russia and China the world war?

In World War two? Did why did world why was it called World

War two? What implication they did have on us? And this is the

thing that they don't teach in history books. When World War two take place,

took place the the the Germans. The Germans were at war in Europe.

But what had the Japanese got to do with it? Well, the

Japanese believed that their emperor was a god. So therefore they believed, by

that virtue that they were special people and every body else was under their feet.

So this nation of Japan did not have the resources that it needed or

wanted to be an industrial power. But you see, these resources were elsewhere

in Southeast Asia. So what happened was when they saw that the world was

distracted by what went on in Europe, they decided to attack Southeast Asia.

And because of that distraction, they took over Southeast Asia in a matter of

a couple of months. They just came in overrd. Fast forward to today,

one country is distracted finding a war in Europe. The US is very

into the Ukrainian War and now it is being pulled into a conflict in the

Middle East. Do you know what that means? It means the US is

distracted. When the US is distracted, how dangerous it is for Taiwan because

now China has got a little bit of a lievay. Resources are all there

and Taiwan is open. Did you know that the Chinese are massing armies and

assets around in and around Taiwan. See, you and I must understand when

Scripture says that were there are wars and the rumors wars. In verse ten,

it says, then he said to them nation will rise against nation,

and kingdom against kingdom. All this has happened in a matter of one month.

Do you know that they brandish? Hey, I'm not trying to put

you you guys down, or make you sad or afraid. That's not my

purpose. My purpose is to let you know Scripture is true. When it

says something, we have to be aware, we have to take notice,

and we have to know how to accomplish that. I started off by saying,

get your life with Jesus clothes and tie. I started off saying that's

the only thing that's going to help us because everything else is moving at break

next speed all over the world. All over the world. They are protesting

all over the world, protestation that the world has never seen before. When

that one little nation is not able to take care of itself, scripture says,

Jesus comes, It's ready. Became a nation. Nineteen forty eight.

Nineteen forty eight, it became a nation. Do you know that? How

many of you here were born again in the seventies. Okay, they're planning

to be born planning, someone was planning for you to be born Okay,

okay, okay. How many of you were born again in the eighties?

Okay, a few of you. How many of you born again in the

nineties, born again, born again? Ricy dave Jesus in the nineties,

Okay, received Jesus in the night. How many of you received Jesus in

the eighties? Oh my? How many of you received Jesus in the seventies?

Okay? One, two, three of us? Three? Wonderful number?

Do you know? Correct me if I'm wrong. But in the churches

where you came from in the eighties and the nineties, was not the constant

preaching about the Second Coming of Jesus. Was it not? Was it not

about Jesus is coming soon? When we were coming up in our churches during

that time, that was the underlying message. Everybody was talking about Jesus coming

again. Jesus is coming again. Are you prepared? Are you prepared?

Jesus coming again? And then something happened in the nineties and towards the end

of the nineties and the year and then when we came into the millennium,

something happened. Do you realize that this message gradually filtered away? Are you

aware what happened in the nineties? Okay, I'll spell it out for you.

The first one starts with letter I and there's nothing after it. What

is that I? The second word is the letter M with one letter after

it. What's that word? You? Got it? And the third one

is starting with the letter M and ends with the letter F. Got it.

What happened in the late nineties and the early two thousand words a new

faith? If I when they say you teaching it was called I, me

and myself. Somewhere along the line we pushed Jesus out. Somewhere along the

line, the churches forgot that Jesus was saying preach about it. In fact,

in a book of Revelation, what is he saying in the last chapter,

I'm coming soon. But somewhere along the line we forgot it. We

got so caught up in learning about ourselves, about feeding ourselves, about wealth,

about materials. It's true, isn't it. You know what Jesus says

when we start to do that, When people start to do that, he

gives them over to their understanding. And that is why they can't tell the

difference between a boy and a girl. I think for this older ones,

that it was drummed into us so much the Second Coming of Christ, that

you know, I honestly believe that I would not live off past nineteen ninety

eight, truly, truly. You know why not? Because if Israel came

together in nineteen forty eight and they get this by you know, look at

the fig tree, the size of the fig tree when it starts to you

know that the time is around the corner. So and you understand, what

is this word generation? The generation that sees this will see the second Coming

of Christ. Now I took it that the generation or that was the understanding

that a generation is between forty and fifty years but not so a generation can

be even eighty two hundred years generation. You know, if born in ninety

forty eight, they had to live one hundred years now. But if you

do, you get it. So we don't know Bible, just say he's

coming soon. Be prepared his coming soon. Get to love him. His

coming soon, Get to know him. He's coming soon. Put him in

your heart. Put more of him in your heart. Because in verse eleven

it says, and there will be great earthquakes in various places. Hey didn't,

Sabah just have an earthquake a few years ago. It was so bad

that the tip of the mountain broke off. I think there were two picks.

There were two picks. One pick broke off, and our sister Grace

was stuck on the mountain for three days. Yeah, she was stuck on

the mountain for three four It took them on one week to come down.

They had to air fly food to them. And by the way, it

was you're gonna ask her story. It was something else. And even as

they walked down the mountain, they had to make sure they didn't look on

certain sides because all the dead bodies were there. Of the kids from Singapore,

that that died. Earthquakes never happened in Malaysia. We only get tremors

of earthquakes that happen in Indonesia. But that earthquake happened in Malaysia. Earthquake

in various places. Hey, famines. Do you know that in the world

today there still is famine because some land can't grow anything and we have to

send food. People have to send food. If not, whole people die.

And get this one, this one we're all familiar with. And pestilence.

We just went through one big pestilence one three years three years, how

many people around the world died? Two to three million people around the world

died. It incapacitated the world in such a way history has never seen it

like this. You know there's another form of pestilence. Oh, and there

will be fearful sights, great signs from heaven. What is this? Great

signs from heaven? I came into Clang and then I remembered what haze is

as I drove in. You see, because if you look in the other

direction, it's clear it's blue. I had to drop Elder Mabel in central

of US. Okay, it was all nice and blue, all clear,

I can see everywhere. Then I came and I drove towards Clang. And

as I drove towards Clang, as I came closer, things got very hazy.

And then I remembered, and the Lord said, he spoke to me,

and he said, this is those signs from heaven. When he talks

about signs from heaven, it is talking about the environment. The environment is

also going a little bit crazy. How many of us remember that actually,

actually July August was the Hayes period because it was dry, dry season.

We had a wet July in October. It looks as if the season has

come forward three months gone, three months, a little bit off where it's

not supposed It snows in the Sahara Desert. Do you know that it's been

happening. Why go so far? It even snowed for a few minutes in

Militia, in Kiki, a few minutes the snow. It just tells you

that the environment is going crazy. But please don't get caught up in the

lives of the world that is saying man is causing too much of carbon dioxide.

That is actually a liar. It is actually meant to find a way

to control us using it's a It's not true if carbon dioxide were to fall

below one point five or one point seven something, the whole of the world

will die. In all the last one hundred or two hundred years, it

has only gone up, say, from to to two point two. So

it's not the big thing that it has been made out to be. In

fact, research has shown that this is the normal cycle that the world goes

through. So just be a little bit cautious. But I want you to

know that these are the signs that the Bible is talking about. But before

for all these things, and this is where it gets personal. Okay,

it does get personal. But before all these things, they will lay their

hands on you and persecute you and deliver you up, delivering you up to

the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers for my

name's sake, persecution. You know that you and I will be called to

account for our beliefs. What do we stand up for? You know when

it says you'll be brought before synagogues, it is just meaning that that was

the understanding of their place or worship. You will be brought before religious authorities.

You will be challenged by religious authorities. You will be brought before kings,

and that's before you'll be brought before ruling powers to account for your faith

in Jesus. I got to tell you, in my own way, in

my own way, in our own way, elder mable in me, we

fight against this. And how do we fight against this? Well, if

you come to my house this year, I've built an eight foot Christmas tree

in the garden. Okay, okay, it is. It is made from

PVC pipes and then I put lighting so in the ninety it looks like Neon.

It just looks like Neon lights. The tree is floating in the air

with the star above. So I got a picture. If you want to

see, you can see afterwards. But why do I do that? It's

making a noise in my neighborhood. I'm letting the world know that I am

a believer and that Jesus was given to me as a gift at Christmas,

and I'm I'm not going to keep silent about it. For me, that's

important, you see, I'm not going to be apologetic. Make no mistake.

The world knows one thing that December twenty fifth, Christmas Day, is

a commemorative birthday of Jesus Christ. As far as the world is concerned,

they don't look at reindeer, they're not looking at Santa Claus. But we

Christians sometimes get a little bit confused, and because we think that it's about

Santa Claus, we say, I'm not going to celebrate Christmas and I'm not

going to get involved in this, and da da da. So you don't

guess what when we don't do it, one day, some authority, some

power that be will come and tell us that we shouldn't celebrate it in the

open and we should celebrate it behind closed doors. Talk to the people in

Bruneidi can let you know about that. But as for me, I want

everybody to know this is what it is. Yeah, there are other things

that we do to let people know that we are Christians and we are believers,

but I want this very clear. So actually, if we drive past

my house, you'll be able to see that star and that tree. Why

eight feet because I couldn't do nine. There would have been too tall.

I wouldn't have been able to get up there. All right, So we

should not be apologizing for what we believe. We should stand firm, We

should honor the Lord wherever we can. But you know what Scripture says,

all these things will turn out as an occasion for you to testify his glory

Verse thirteen, and occasion for testimony. Therefore settling in your heart not to

meditate beforehand on what to say or answer. So when you are challenged by

these authorities, do not freak out, Do not worry. Scripture is saying

I will help you. The Bible is saying I will give you a mouth

and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to resist or contradict.

You know that we will all be great testifiers. We will see the Holy

Spirit work through us to testify his glory. When that time comes, we

shall have a mouth. How many you are? Very quiet? People?

Very quiet? See how quiet church mouse? Not many all talkers are,

Okay, I see one hand here. Okay, let me tell you.

When the time comes, the Lord is going to give you a mouth,

and when you open and you talk, no one will be able to contradict

you. My parents always say I was born with a mouth. I came

out I was talking, But not this kind of mount Okay, this is

a godly mouth. No one will be able to withstand arguments. Our Verse

sixteen is what's very scary. You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers,

relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death,

and you will be hated by all. For my namesake, I shed this

before, and I'll just remind you the reason why parents betray children and children

became parents. When you don't have Jesus in your heart, when he is

not living in your heart, you will not be able to assess right from

wrong because when push comes to chav Remember I me and myself. See that's

the mantra of the world today, I me and myself. Unless you have

something stronger for which you believe in, that's Jesus, and he's in your

heart, push comes to shave, even for your own children, you will

not stand. It's not what I'm saying, It's what Scripture is saying.

It is what Scripture is saying. I'll give you another idea what it means.

There's one basketballer or two basketballers in the US who have consented to their

boy becoming a girl surgically, what is that? That is betraying the trust

that God has put on them to look after this child. They have betrayed

that trust and fallen for a lie. This is happening. Now you'll be

hated for my namesake. But I want you to know this. What scripture

says, not a hair on your head will be lost by your patience,

by your patients possess your souls. You know, Verse sixteen seems to contradict

verse eighteen because eighteen verse sixteen says something you will be put to death.

Okay, Verse eighteen says not a hair on your head will be harmed.

So what does this mean? Is it a contradiction in the Bible contradicting itself.

Let me explain to you. The first death that you're talking about.

Verse sixteen comes from the thanatos, which simply means it's a hyperbody for when

which we are used to saying, especially agents dialer, I'm gonna I'm dead,

No way, I'm history. You know. Have you felt that way

when your boss wants to scold you the next day and you're walking to the

room and then you say, I'm dead. Have you ever done that before?

That's what that means. That means that you will be put in positions

that almost seems like you are finished, Like you will be destroyed like there's

no hope. It's a hopeless situation. You're metaphorically dead. But verse eighteen,

the word means physical end, the physical end, they will not be

able to put you to death. It simply means this that God will control

what happens in your life. It is only God that will control what happens

in your life. So you cannot you don't have to worry. When Scripture

was saying, you know, they put some of you to death, it

means put some of you in a position where you feel you can handle it.

But then Scripture say, I'll give you a mouth when you talk,

no one can can refute it. And finally, all right, Scripture says

nothing bad will ever happen to you. I'm in control. Jesus is in

control, okay um, And verse nineteen means just be steadfast, stand your

ground, do not change, do not be worried, do not think that

things will will change for the worst. As long as you're a believer in

Jesus, it will always work out. Okay. I cannot stress how much

more you need to see that. But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by its

enemies hah today, then you know its desolation is near, for they will

fall by the edge of the sword and be led away captive into all nations.

In Jerusalem will be trampled by the gentiles until the time of the gentiles

are fulfilled. This is the situation in the world today. Israel is surrounded

by its enemies. Jerusalem is surrounded by its enemies. How much clearer description

need to get before we take it to heart and work on it in our

lives. And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon,

and the stars and the earth, distress of nations with perplexity. The whole

world is in distress at the moment. The sea and the way is roaring.

As I told you, it speaks of climate change, propaganda about climate

change. This is a political tool to control you and I. The world

is in the Lord's heads. He is in control. In verse twenty six,

men's hearts feeling them from fear. In fact, when the Lord prepared

me for this message, this was the only thing that he put in my

head. Men's hearts failing them, and the expectation of those things which are

coming on the earth, for the powers of the heaven will be shaken fainting,

stress and consciousness due to lack of oxygen. Heart attacks. That's what

this word means, men's hearts feeling them for fear. In case you don't

know, stress is one of the biggest killers in the world today. Do

not get caught up in stress because you've got a stress medicine that you need

to share with others. What that stress medicine is is Jesus in your heart.

Don't take that stress pill. Take Jesus in your heart. And the

more you take of Jesus into your heart through the reading of his word,

you will have that stress alleviated. The powers of the heaven refers to the

whole world. The whole world is going through these things Verse twenty eight.

Now, when these things begin to happen, this is what you gotta do.

And this is what I said. Look up, look up and lift

up your heads, because your redemption draws near. What do we do We

look up to Jesus. Jesus is the answer for the world today. It's

another song, Jesus says, the answer for the world today. Without him,

there's no other Jesus is doing. How many of you remember that song?

Only those of us that became Christ in the seventies. Okay, there

you go, saith hmm, you know, okay, praise the Lord verse

thirty four. But take heed to yourselves, less your hearts. We wait

down carousing and drunkenness and cares of this life. And that day will come

upon you when you do not expect. For it will come as a snare

on all those who dwell on the face of the earth. Keep your focus

right, keep your focus right, keep it on Jesus. The norms of

life are not worth it. Just living your life too without Jesus involved,

it's not worth it. If the earth is for us, it will be

our trap. You know that if all we do is watch out where the

world is and how the world is in life, it will be to us

as a trap. You got to have your focus on Jesus. I can't

stress that enough. We are at the cusp. Watch therefore, and pray

that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things which will come to

pass, and to stand before the Son of Man. Do you know that

we can pray that these things do not come upon us. You want to

know what to pray. I've just given you something to pray. Oh,

I do not know what to pray. Well, if you have to pray,

fear us, pray this, then you will be able to do what

the Lord tells you and do it right. In verse in Matthew twenty four,

verse thirty seventy, it says, but as the days of Noah were,

so shall it be with the coming of the Sun of Man. For

as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying

and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark and did not

know until the flood came and took them all the way, So it will

be in the coming of the Sun of Men. But he endures to the

end, will be saved. This Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached to

all the world as a witness, all the nations, and then the end

will come. Hey, guys, when I shed when I was having this

discussion to pass and pass, and said, but thank God, the Bible

says that the end will not come until the gospel has preached all the world.

All right, as in the days of Noah socially being, you know

what that means. It means that Noah was there as a testimony that something

was about to happen. He was building an ok in the middle of the

desert. He was building an ok. It was a testament that something was

about to happen. For I think he built it for about one hundred and

fifty years, two hundred years, something like that. And as he was

building it for all those years, it was a testimony to everybody. Hey,

guys, something's about to happen. Get your thing right. Why didn't

you come along with us, help me builders, get involved. But you

know what, they were so busy living life as is. That's what it

means, you know. It means that they just continued with their daily living,

marrying, giving into marriage, having new children, going to work,

coming home, having parties, not necessary really bad things, just that they

did not see the signs. They did not take heed of the signs.

And this one was in Looks seventeen twenty years is. Likewise it was also

in the days of Lot. They ate, they drank, they bought,

they sold, they planted, they built. But on that day that Lot

went out from Sodom. It rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them.

Or even so it will be, even so it will will it be

in the day when the son of Man is revealed. Lot's caser is a

different kind of sight which is applicable today because in Lot's day, what was

the thing about sodom? Correct? It was okay for man to be with

a man. We're talking about man and man. I'm sure there was okay

also for women to be woman. That was what was going on. It

was normal. It was normal for seldom is it normal in the world today?

It is? It is. This is the second sign, right,

the second thing we have to watch out for, and it's there, It's

happened. I mean, does God really need to come and knock us on

the head that we realize so many things have taken place in scripture people were

not bothered despite the signs. They carried on with their lives. Do not

let that be us. Do not let us be carried away with just living

life that we ignore the signs. Hey, I'm not here to scare you,

and I hope that's not what you take away from this. What you

should take away from these messages. I need to get closer to Jesus.

I need to be ready because all the signs are pointing to his imminent return.

And may I be found to be a mouth that speaks of his glory.

May I be found worthy in his sight. May I be found doing

what he tells me to do. And with that I'll end today's sharing.

I just want you to know. I just want you to know. You

got to be prepared. You got to be prepared. God is just telling

us get ready. Everything is ripe and right. So when you walk out

of here, don't walk out said, don't walk out dejected, walk out

knowing. Isn't it wonderful? I know who Jesus is. Isn't it wonderful?

I gave my life over to the one who's able to help. Isn't

it lovely that Jesus reigns in my heart? Isn't it lovely? He's giving

me an opportunity for him to reign in my heart if it's not already the

case. So don't be afraid, don't be scared. Scripture says, don't

be afraid. You know, have a peace about it. God's in control

of your life. Watch what's going on in around the world today. You

got friends who don't Oh, Jesus, share with them the Lord. If

they don't want to listen to you, bring them to church. They can

hear messages like this open up the scriptures before them and say this was written

about so long ago. Open their minds and hearts to the fact that Jesus

loves them, and just say, one day we'll all meet him. Let's

meet him as friends. Let's meet him as friends. Well, you know,

every time I share this word, I get very sober. It's very

sobering word. And I'm blessed because I get to share it several times before

I go on to the next message. So every time I share, in

fact, you're getting a little bit of an updated version. Okay, because

since the last time, more incidents have happened. So every this is how

fast things are happening. Okay, it's happening on a weekly basis. It's

happening on a weekly basis. By next week when I share this message,

new things would have happened. Just to let you know. The last thing,

the Bible says that in the last days all all the nations will turn

against Israel. Okay, the fight is growing in the US to ditch Israel.

And if it continues on that basis, because the young ones have got

no affinity two to the old understanding, and they will do whatever suits them,

whatever is easy, to them. Did you know that the universities are

controlled by all these phonetics from the Middle East. Praise the Lord. We

hope you've been blessed by this message. For more information on our church,

for you. God bless
