Prepared to Persevere (to strive in spite of difficulties)

Are You Prepared?

We will soon to be in the fight for our very lives. How does one prepare as a Christian in the last days? How do you survive in the battle against the Anti-Christ? Will it be a time of despair and confusion or will you rejoice in the coming of Christ?

As I have stated many times, the ‘mark of the beast’ is already present on many people in this world. The days are indeed shorter (not less in number but in time (24 hours is much less than it use to be). And last but not least, the fulfillment of Israel’s destiny is upon us—all the biblical signs stated in Revelation are easily recognizable.

How does one prepare for the end of all things? The Bible holds many keys to your survival and the words of Jesus in the Gospels are your guide to knowing what to do, what to pay attention to, and what to do next. This is not a time for fear or ignorance but a time for spiritual insight and preparation.

If one fears, doubts, or refuses to obey the direction of Christ you will have a difficult time making it to the end. “But he that shall endure (persevere) unto the end, the same shall be saved” Matthew 24:13. What does it take to endure? Who’s got what it takes?

Here are some ‘preparation suggestions’ that are full of wisdom for those that will see Christ’s return. These bits of wisdom are for you to mentally, spiritually, and emotionally apply to your spiritual well being. (Things to know and do.)

ü There will be revivals everywhere. On all continents and in every city and county. People will become saved in such numbers you will not be able to number them all.

ü The Holy Spirit will flow like waves over the earth even though there will no longer be any church buildings standing but the Holy Spirit will bring people together into out-door amphitheaters.

ü Social media will not be your friend but will hinder the Gospel of Christ. It would be prudent for Christians to begin to exist without assistance from Social Media platforms.

ü What you have been told about how to prepare for hard times will not keep you to the end. Water will become critical and food will be hard to come by. It would be good to become more self-sufficient in all things needed to stay alive. But realize that there is nothing you can do to store or have enough food and other life-sustaining items to make it to the end. Christ will have to become ‘your-everything’ (medically, protection and provisions to sustain life).

ü What you now know about Jesus Christ is not enough. Every verse in the Bible will take on new importance and significance. The meaning and adaptation of each verse will keep unfolding. Do not rely on what you now know about the verses in the Bible, thinking you already know all-there-is-to-know about any particular verse. The revelation of Jesus Christ will keep unfolding throughout Scripture and new revelations of verses are what will keep you till the end.

ü You will have to develop a complete dependence on the Holy Spirit. By praying in the Spirit you will be able to keep yourself in the love of God. Memorizing Bible chapters and singing in the Spirit—these qualities will support you against darkness.

ü Things will keep getting worse to the point of losing all hope and thinking that Jesus is delaying His return. Persecution will become commonplace and Satan will be performing miracles so as to convince you to follow him. It will not be easy, so learn to persevere.

ü Everything will be done in stages but do not let your preparation to endure a particular stage or season of darkness be amply for the next stage of darkness. Each season of darkness will take a particular new set of spiritual skills and only continual revelation of Jesus Christ will prepare you for what is to come.

ü It’s going to get bad, very bad. Infrastructures will no longer be available, climate change will be so great most land areas will be changes or badly affected, and political institutions will not be in existence. This will set the stage for the anti-Christ (Satan) to show himself and perform wonders so to lead mankind into battle against the Lord.

ü If I would desire anyone one thing it would be to have the spirit, power, words, and wisdom of the two witnesses mentioned in Revelation chapter 11. It is our calling to battle against anything and anyone that exalts itself against Jesus Christ.

ü At the very end, darkness will be in control. No one will be able to perform the works of Christ—Satan will once again have his day as he did when Christ was crucified.

ü If I would choose a physical location to live, it would be in the land of Israel. It is in this region that God will still be working and His will be finalized on the earth.

What we know now will not be enough to sustain the destruction that is to come. We must grow in such stature in the Holy Spirit in order to withstand what God will bring to bear on the earth. It is only in knowing, believing, and loving Jesus with all our being that will make us overcomers. Come, Lord Jesus, Come!
