Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus promised He would come again to take us to be with Him to a place He has prepared for us, and scripture states it is an incredible place and life He has for us, beyond our comprehension. We can begin to experience this abundant life and walk in these Kingdom blessings here and now. As we allow the Holy Spirit to work in us, to lead, convict, teach and empower us to live for Christ we will be prepared for His coming. The real question is not when is He coming, but who is He coming for and will I be among those He receives to Himself? Concerning these end times and His coming, Jesus said though we wouldnt know the exact hour or day, but that we are to be looking for the signs of His coming to watch, pray and be ready for Him to come at any moment. As we watch, pray, and then do whatever He asks us to do, we will be ready for His coming or our going to be with Him, whichever comes first. The Bride has made herself ready! He is coming to take a prepared people to a prepared place, so what does it mean to be ready? In light of the possible imminent return of Jesus, what manner of persons ought we to be/how would we want to be found by Him? What sort of Bride does Jesus desire/deserve and will He accept? Who is He soon coming for? A Passionate Bride not cold or lukewarm but deeply in love with and devoted to Him; one looking and longing for His coming, preparing for His arrival, and desiring only to spend every minute in His presence. It is the essence and key to everything we are and do for the Lord. Everything comes down to loving God and others.

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 Maranatha Our Lord Is Coming written by David Brackemyre and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-11-05 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The promise of Christ's return should have a controlling effect on the life of every Christian. A close New Testament study reveals the Messianic promise to be the foundation and focus of the first century church. Like them, we should always be prepared to give an answer for "the hope we have". It is a subject of every book except Philemon and 3 John. "Maranatha! Our Lord Is Coming" moves from Matthew to Revelation, citing a multitude of verses (more than we realize), adding insight and commentary, and calling us to a life reflecting our sole dependence on God's faithfulness. The inspiration for this book is the faithful witness and perseverance of the persecuted church. They may undergo significant suffering, yet they know one day Christ will return with his rewards. We should exhibit that same faithfulness and perseverance, based on the same promise. After reading "Maranatha! Our Lord Is Coming", a believer will: - have an increased awareness and knowledge of Christ's promised return, - understand more than before the foundation of our faith and the hope on which it is built, - be convicted to express his or her faith based on this blessed truth. "Maranatha! Our Lord Is Coming" has a study guide for each chapter. The study will require introspection. It will ask us to examine our own life and come to a conclusion regarding the applicability of truth. Once we internalize the singular hope that is found only in God's faithfulness to one day send his son, we will rise above the trappings of this world and live according to the hope of the world to come. May God richly bless you in your pursuit of this marvelous promise.

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.
