We pray, “Lord Jesus, come quickly,” but in that prayer we know that we must be ready, be prepared for His return. As we see the end approaching, when our Lord and Saviour will return and establish His kingdom on this earth, we must be prepared. We must be ready and watching for Him. May the Lord use the practical help presented in these messages to prepare His people.

Download or read book Habits of Grace written by David Mathis and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christian life is built on three seemingly unremarkable practices: reading the Bible, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. However, according to David Mathis, such “habits of grace” are the God-designed channels through which his glorious grace flows—making them life-giving practices for all Christians. Whether it’s hearing God’s voice (the Word), having his ear (prayer), or participating in his body (fellowship), such spiritual rhythms of the Christian life have the power to awaken our souls to God’s glory and stir our hearts for lifelong service in his name. What’s more, these seemingly simple practices grant us access to a host of spiritual blessings that we can only begin to imagine this side of eternity—and the incredible joy that such blessings bring to God’s children today.

Download or read book Not Yet Married written by Marshall Segal and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

Download or read book The Time of Christ s Return Revealed Revised Edition written by Charles P. Pierce and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-08-31 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the real thing! If you want to know when Jesus Christ will return to reign as LORD over all the earth, this book will tell you. The book is controversial because it is unique. The time given directly from the Bible is distant, unlike the majority of current views expounding the theory that the time of Christ’s return is imminent in their lifetime. Multiple witnesses of scripture are used to provide Biblical evidence for definite timing of events. The book of Daniel gives the number of years between when the second Temple was destroyed in 70 AD until the Lord builds the Millennial Temple. Daniel also tells us the number of days it will take the Lord to replace the third Temple with the Millennial Temple. In the Gospel of John, Jesus tells us when He will build the Millennial Temple. Many witnesses throughout the Bible, including the book of Joshua, each confirm the same timing of events. The Church is given truth with the goal of increasing The Kingdom of God. The cause of problems and their effects are revealed along with a solution. Those who have ears to hear will do more than just listen. 523 page count 37 black and white images

Download or read book The Prophetic Urgency written by W. E. Smith and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” (Rev. 19:10)Dear end-time saints of the Lord Jesus Christ – the following series of messages represent a reflection on the spiritual aspect of the Lord's prophetic testimony. As believers, we often focus on the events, the things, or the timing of prophetic truth, when prophecy is given chiefly to the saints that we might be prepared for the Lord's execution of His plans in history. What does it mean to be ready? How can we know we are ready? What will those who will be found ready be doing when the Master returns for them? What are the obstacles or distractions to readiness? Why does the enemy invest so much of his time and attention in preventing us from being found ready at the coming of the Lord into His presence? Did you know that, in the New Testament, there is more having to do with being found ready for the Master at His appearing, than that having to do with the new birth? I actually petitioned the Lord to show me from His Word all that has to do with being found ready at the end of this age. I then went through many books searching for direct and indirect references to how we should be approaching these final days in the spirit. Was a it a dominant topic for the Lord in His instruction to His disciples while on the earth? Is it something running through all the writings of Paul and other Apostles? Was the Revelation given to John given primarily such that those living immediately before the fulfillment of those times would be prepared in the spirit? Is this important to our Lord? Is it something very dear to His heart for us? You better believe it is my brethren. This book is just under 300 pages, yet it could very well be 1,000 or more. It is, we believe, the singular message that end-time saints need to be hearing at this time. The Apostle Paul, in his writings, likened the Christian life to a long-distance race, with a glorious prize at the end for all who endured. To finish this race is everything. In fact, it is the single great imperative for all Christian saints alive in any age! To press on; to hold fast and to stay the course until the end. The Lord is coming quickly, and this prophetic urgency is nothing more than knowing this deep down where spirit touches bone. Paul wrote of “winning” Christ in his letter to the church at Phillipi, and we can almost picture Him there at the finish line as the very prize in view –More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain (or win) Christ. (Phil. 3:8)Here in a nutshell then, is what the ever-teaching Spirit means by readiness – a willingness to lay anything and everything aside, to lose all, such that we might gain the Lord Himself, to the very fullest extent that both the Scriptures and the Holy Spirit convey to each of us.Dear brethren, I hope and pray that you will discover, as you make your way prayerfully through these messages, just how much exhortation and encouragement there is for us to make ourselves ready for the Master's return. In these pages, we will also consider, as the Lord directs, just what readiness implies; what it means, and even what it might cost us. To be sure fellow saints, the temptation to forsake the hard and difficult path of the Lord's training and preparation is great in this hour. There are growing numbers of supposed prophets and teachers convincing many that there is an easier and broader way, a lighter burden, a path around the cross. Swelling numbers it seems are finding this most appealing, and for this reason will not be found ready at the Lord's appearing for His own. Our prayer for everyone who reads these words, is that you will not be found among them; that you will heed the Spirit's exhortation in this hour, and hold fast to the Lord and His patience, right through to the end.

Download or read book Expository Exultation written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “God has appointed preaching in worship as one great means of accomplishing his ultimate goal in the world.” —John Piper John Piper makes a compelling claim in these pages about the purpose of preaching: it is intended not merely as an explanation of the text but also as a means of awakening worship by being worship in and of itself. Christian preaching is a God-appointed miracle aiming to awaken the supernatural seeing, savoring, and showing of the glory of Christ. Distilling over forty years of experience in preaching and teaching, Piper shows preachers how and what to communicate from God’s Word, so that God’s purpose on earth will advance through Biblesaturated, Christ-exalting, God-centered preaching—in other words, expository exultation.

Download or read book More Than a Healer written by Costi W. Hinn and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does healing fit into God's will, especially when God doesn't heal? Our hearts, our bodies, and our world are desperate for healing. We all experience brokenness, and we rightfully look to Jesus for restoration. But many Christians have been taught the lie that God will heal us if our faith is strong enough, and that he is punishing us when bad things happen. Growing up in one of the world's leading faith-healing dynasties, Costi Hinn witnessed the tragedy of people chasing after healing more than the Healer. In this book he provides biblical clarity to some of the most challenging questions of the Christian faith. Does grace guarantee healing? How do we catch ourselves from slipping into the trap of seeking God for what he can do for us and not for who he really is? Beginning with the vivid memory of the night he discovered his son's cancer diagnosis—Costi unpacks the layered feelings and questions we have about God and his healing power, and he provides practical principles for growing closer to Jesus. With gentle clarity and biblical wisdom, he explains how to: Faithfully pray for healing while trusting in God's sovereignty. Navigate tough conversations about the topics of divine healing, love, and justice. Hold on to faith even in the most painful trials. More than chasing after the Jesus we want, this hopeful and encouraging book will guide you to discovering the Jesus we truly need—and the true power and hope that comes from a genuine relationship with him.
