Glory be to God! ** 🙋🏾♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: Are you ready to meet the living God? Are you ready for Christ's return? Because if not, we got some serious work that needs to be done! For the Lord will say, "Depart from Me!" on the Day He judges those who by their "good works" for ministry, thought they had automatic entry to the Kingdom, but were found to be workers of iniquity!
"This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. 13 Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. 14 Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires" (Romans 13:11-14). Amen!
Today, we are looking at several parables that exhort us to be ready and prepared, EVER ALERT, to meet Christ Jesus when He returns. Jesus warns us in Mark 13:33-37 to "Take heed, keep on the alert," "be on the alert—for you do not know when the master of the house is coming." We are commanded to watch for Him! Therefore, we must be ready to meet Him when He returns. If we (His true sheep) are that generation that witness those prophesied end time events Jesus spoke of before He went to the cross, we will be gathered to Him in the air. I can't say it enough: we must be ready, all the while looking for Him. Longing for His return. Like a bride who sits by the lace covered window in the morning, at noon, in the evening, throughout the watches of the night, looking in eager expectation for her Bridegroom! She keeps herself ready. Her lamp is full of oil. As she goes about her daily life, her consciousness is on her Bridegroom and His soon coming. She doesn't let anything distract her from her readiness! She knows not the hour of His return, but she does know He is, in fact, coming at an hour that will take many and most by surprise. But she is not surprised because He had been telling her all along to be ready for Him. To purify herself. To keep herself clean and pure. So that when He returns, He finds her spotless and blameless!
Never forget, beloved, the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is King of kings and Lord of lords, will be here before we know it. Take heed to the parable of Ten Virgins in Matthew 25! He is coming back for a Bride WHO IS READY, without spot or wrinkle to receive Him! The Lord tells us, "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh" (Luke 21:28). Amen! Stay Alert. Be Holy. Live Clean. Consider all your ways before the Lord! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
