FEBRUARY 8, DAILY BIBLE READING
Today I zoomed in on Matthew 24:42-44, while reading I began to picture how my interview with God would go. I then visualized my friends and families interviews.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lets look at today's thoughts from the word of God and see what this interview is all about!
I encourage you to write a PLAN, PRAYER and PRAISE somewhere on paper about today's inspiring thoughts.
Writing things down brings power to the goal
MATTHEW 24
"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."
LETS LOOK AT FACTS:
Kingdom wars presently abound in the Middle East. Egypt and Saudi Arabia are preparing for a possible confrontation with Iran. The past couple years we have seen prophecies about Egypt metastasizing into fulfillment.
Read Isaiah chapter 19, its all about the BURDEN in and against Egypt.
Everyone will fight against brother and neighbor, city against city and kingdom against kingdom. It starts with the heart of Egypt and will MELT IN ITS MIDST.
As we listen to the news we see the heart of Egypt melting.
The truth is someday we will see the prophecy of the Son of Man appearing in the sky coming on a cloud with great power and great glory!
Just as we know a new season is coming by the change of trees and leaves. Even so, when you see the signs today in Egypt let it be a reminder that a new season is near and right at the door.
ARE YOU READY?
I urge you to keep watch because you do not know the day your Lord will come, the birth of something NEW is on its way my friends.
Just as we prepare for a new babies arrival... we need to prepare and understand for Gods arrival.
Christ is coming soon and the stage is set....We do not know what day or time however we need to be ready.
Have you thought about what to expect in the future?
Have you taken Gods truths seriously?
We will receive the history we deserve
I pray we diligently pursue the goal to prepare to be ready to meet the future.We do not want to stand and act surprised or scared on the final day.
For too many, meeting God at death will be a first introduction.
This is not because God did not make Himself known, but because they ignored all that God has said and done. God has spoken, but they have not listened.
The unprepared will meet with God just as certainly as the prepared will.
The scriptures teach that an interview with God is inevitable.
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad." (2 Cor. 5:10)
God does not want you to come ignorant and unprepared.
He sent His prophets, and later His son and the apostles, telling men to prepare.
He also furnished proof that the judgment meeting will come.
"Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead." (Acts 17:30,31)
The need to prepare to meet God is clearly recognized by all who understand what will happen when we meet.
There will be a thorough judgment of all sinners based on all their sins. "And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds." (Rev. 20:12)
Since we know that this will happen someday will we get properly prepared?
I have listed a few ways to start preparing, please take time and review your life.
1. How do you obey Gods word? Do you accept His word? Do you study and read His word? Do you go to a place to HEAR the word?
2. Are you committed and open to the help of others? God has put people all around you to help you accept His truth.
Maybe step back and watch God at work around you.
3. Have you taught not only yourself but your family to EMBRACE His truth and accept His message.
The fact is that you cannot do anything you want and be living out the story He wrote for your life.
When we meet God face to face I know He will show us the REAL story He had planned for our lives.
John 16:13 states "The spirit of truth will guide you and help you."
I care for my family and friends and when I read today's word I wondered how many even care to be ready?
I want everyone to be ready for their personal interview!
Blessings friends!
