TIME IS RUNNING OUT! (Share this message) Dear brothers and sisters in the faith time is rapidly running out and we must all be engaged in kingdom building. We should all be preaching Jesus to everyone because time is running out. Jesus said: Mark 16:15 NIV He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. He didnt day you had to be a pastor to do such things He commanded all who believe to do so. If you are a believer in Christ this should be your misson and your focus in these final hours. Jesus wants use all to pay attention to all the signs of the coming of Christ. Jesus doesnt want us to have a laid back approach in believing his return is far off. Jesus said: Mark 13:37 NIV What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’ ” For those that watch for the coming of Christ that day wont catch them like a thief in the night for they will know He is coming. Jesus said: 1 Thessalonians 5:2 NIV for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. Jesus said: 1 Thessalonians 5:4-9 NIV But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. We should be ready at all times producing good fruit unlike the fig tree that produces only in its season. Jesus spoke in many parables that shed great light on How we are all to be. Jesus said: Luke 21:29-36 NIV He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near. “Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” Dear brothers and sisters its time we produce good fruit because time is running out. Jesus told us all in the order of events before his return. Jesus gave a play by play. Jesus said: Luke 21:10-28 NIV Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. “But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. And so you will bear testimony to me. But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. Everyone will hate you because of me. But not a hair of your head will perish. Stand firm, and you will win life. “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” We are living in the final hours let us be ready let us have our lamps filled with oil. Let us keep watch, let us keep our eyes and ears open so we will be ready. Jesus said: Matthew 25:1-13 NIV “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ “ ‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’ “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’ “But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’ “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour. WATCH !LOOK! AND LISTEN! Mark 13:37 NIV What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’ ” God bless you all.
