THE KING IS COMING!

The King is Coming

Can you not feel it? Do you not see?
The time is near; I’m coming for thee.

You go about your normal tasks,
But the times and season, you do not grasp.

Have I not told you, what lies ahead?
In my Word, have I not said?

That I’ll return like a thief in the night.
This day should not overtake thee,

if you’re walking in my light.

Be watchful, be sober, My Child, you must prepare.
Evil is lurking and deception is everywhere.

Spread this word, to all those who will hear.
Receive this day; my free gift of salvation,

for my coming is near.

Prepare your heart, my child, for the time is at hand.
Soon, you will see the coming of the Son of Man.

I’ll descend from Heaven, with a shout,

with the voice of the archangel

and the trumpet of God on that day.

I’m coming for those who are prepared and watching.
Be ready my child, I’ve showed you the Way.

Thus saith the Lord.

For months, the Lord has been dealing with me about His soon coming return. I’m amazed at the people that choose to ignore the signs that Jesus Himself warned us about. My heart is heavy and saddened that many are not ready to meet my Lord and Savior.

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

I Thessalonians 4:17-18 NKJV

Every time I watch the news on the television or I open a newspaper, the Lord reminds me of the passage of scripture found in Matthew the 24th chapter.

Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying,

“Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming,

and of the end of the age?”And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Matthew 24:3-8 NKJV

 

Is it a mere coincidence that the news headlines

look as if they could have come

straight from God’s Word?

Let me try to answer that as clearly as I possibly can.

In fact, I’ll give you several answers in hopes that you’ll accept one of them.

Not a fat chance!
No way Hosea!
Not in this lifetime!

I’ll even throw one more in for those of you who love
answering a question with another question.
You are kidding me, right?

Friends, I’ve heard it my whole life.

“The Lord is coming back soon.”

I’m sure you’ve heard it too.

But never in my life have I felt

so strongly in my spirit that

His coming could be at any moment.

I truly believe we are living

in the last of the last days.

The things that are going on in America and the rest of the world are leading up to those very things prophesied throughout the Old and New Testament and spoke of in the book of Revelation.

I was recently dumbfounded at the remark made by a person concerned

about sharing the latter part of this scripture.

And this gospel of the kingdom will be

preached in all the world as a witness to

all the nations, and then the end will come.

Matthew 24:12 NKJV

“Maybe, we should have left the latter part off.

You know words like the end will come

scare some folks.”

I turned around to face this person and with boldness from the Holy Spirit, I spoke these words.

“You know, people really don’t need to be scared, they just need to make

sure that they’re ready to meet the Lord.”

My sister, Tonja had a dream several months ago that she shared with me. In her dream, she said that people were going about their normal daily routines. During the hurry and scurry of everyday life, the Lord’s return was not even a thought in the minds of people and sadly, some of those people were Christians.

Tonja was so alarmed by her dream that she called many family members including myself to remind us that Jesus is coming very soon.

But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light,

and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 KJV

There are many different beliefs concerning

the last days. Many folks believe the rapture

of the church will take place before the

tribulation period begins and

before the Second Coming of Christ.

I believe that way, but I’m not writing this to try to prove what I believe against what others believe. I’m writing this for one purpose and for one purpose only

and that is simply to ask this question.

Are you ready to meet Jesus?

If you knew He was coming next week, would you be ready for His return?

If He came back tomorrow, would you be ready?

What if He came back before

you ever finish reading this?

Friend, are you ready?

Are your family members ready to meet Jesus?

How about your friends

and your neighbors,

are they ready?

I heard a song once that said there is only one thing that you can take to Heaven.

You can’t take your money or any material thing.

The only thing you can take with you

to Heaven is the people

that you’ve witnessed to

and lead to the Lord.

I know it’s not always easy to witness to others, but I do know the Holy Spirit will give you the boldness and courage you need to tell others about the saving grace of Jesus.

Friend, I want you to know beyond a shadow

of a doubt that you are ready to meet

our soon coming King, Jesus Christ.

I ask the Lord everyday to forgive

me for any sin in my life.

Why?

Because, I know He’s coming back

for a church that has prepared

for His return and that is free from sin.

Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless.

2 Peter 3:13-14 KJV

Friend,

Jesus is coming soon.

Don’t be scared.

Just be ready!
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

John 14:1-3 KJV
