“Be WATCHFUL and READY”

 “Be WATCHFUL and READY!”

 

“So, you, too, MUST KEEP WATCH! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming. Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would KEEP WATCH and NOT allow his house to be broken into. You MUST BE READY ALL the TIME, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.  Matthew 24:42-44

We are SO close to this event, which is known as the RAPTURE, the SNATCHING AWAY of ALL TRUE BELIEVERS who belong to the Family of God.  

  In the meantime: The LORD JESUS wants the TRUE BELIEVERS to be RAPTURE READY, which includes being WATCHFUL and ALERT. I BELIEVE that the RAPTURE will take place PRIOR to the TRIBULATION period. This EVENT will be LOUD, according to 1st Thess. 4:16.  The Apostle Paul says:  “For the Lord, Himself will come down from heaven with a COMMANDING SHOUT, with the voice of the archangel, and with the TRUMPET call of GOD.”

And when that happens, then the believers who have died will rise from their graves. And the believers who are ALIVE on earth will be CAUGHT UP together in the clouds to MEET the Lord in the AIR.  And we shall be with the LORD FOREVER.

This will come UNEXPECTEDLY like a thief in the night. Let us who live in the LIGHT be CLEARHEADED, PROTECTED by the ARMOR OF FAITH and LOVE, and WEARING as our HELMET the CONFIDENCE of our SALVATION.

For God chose to SAVE US through our LORD JESUS CHRIST, NOT to POUR OUT His anger on us. Christ died for us so that, whether we are DEAD or ALIVE when He RETURNS, we can LIVE with HIM FOREVER. (1st Thess. 4:9-10)

So, to be RAPTURE READY: Jesus wants His BELIEVERS to be WATCHFUL and ALERT. He wants to FIND US BUSY sharing the LOVE of GOD to this LOST and DYING WORLD.  And we MUST BE WISE and TRUSTWORTHY until He RETURNS, (could be TODAY).

To be RAPTURE READY: You must be a TRUE BELIEVER in the LORD JESUS CHRIST, and You MUST BE DRAWN by His SPIRIT, and ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS, who GAVE His LIFE to SAVE your WRETCHED SOUL from spending an ETERNITY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there.  You MUST BELIEVE with ALL your HEART that JESUS DIED for YOU and that He is ALIVE in Heaven making intercession for YOU before GOD.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to HIM and ASK Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and be WATCHFUL and RAPTURE READY.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can!!!  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON, COULD BE TODAY!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
