“Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.” Luke 12:40
In anticipating the coming of Christ we His children, His ambassadors, are to be enduring to the end by preaching His kingdom Gospel to the lost!
“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:13-14
How to Get Ready and Stay Ready
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; 20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.” Acts 3:19-21
Jesus commanded us that both “repentance and remission of sins should be preached.”
“And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” Luke 24:47
You are a messenger of the Good News and you must inform them of the bad news by giving them the 10 commandments and asking if they’ve violated them.
God is “Holy, holy, holy” and cannot have relationship with any person who is choosing to live in sin… (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8).
“The wages of sin is death” -Death means separation, so when Christ saves us He removes that which divided us. THAT is exactly why Jesus came:
“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1 Timothy 1:15
“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10
God cannot and will not fellowship with anyone who chooses sin over Him.
“For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.” Psalms 5:4
“Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity…” Habakkuk 1:13
You must appropriate God’s forgiveness, salvation by repentance and faith.
“Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” Acts 20:21
Divine Instructions in Ministering to Lost Souls
“And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” 2 Timothy 2:24-26
Please allow me to exhort you to read this passage each morning this week, to allow this rich divine truth to ruminate, to steep in your thoughts, mind, heart.
Lost souls are not your enemy.
God told you to love them. Jesus commanded us to love even our enemies, right? (Matthew 5:44)
“For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” James 1:20
“The wrath of man” – Man’s undue wrath clearly reveals a self-righteous modern pharisee, religionist. When you see a man moved with anger instead of compassion on the lost, you are witnessing a self-righteous hell bound counterfeit.
“God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.” Psalms 7:11
This verse, truth, is no license for us who are saved by grace to hate or condemn sinners. That’s not our place.
GOD is angry with the wicked. GOD, not you. Repent now. God is “Holy, holy, holy” not you.
Those who love are the soul winners. Those who hate, whose hearts are full of undue anger and hatred against the lost, don’t win anyone to Jesus.
Interesting. Discern the difference:
Jesus was moved with anger on the self-righteous religionists. See Mark 3:1-6.
Jesus was “moved with compassion” on the lost souls He encountered when street ministering. See Matthew 9:35-38.
All sinners are in darkness. Jesus says He did not come to the earth to condemn them but rather to save them.
“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” John 3:17
Are we sinning or are we scattering souls?
“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” Proverbs 11:30
“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” Matthew 12:30
Unwarranted anger and “the wrath of man” is unbefitting when it is coming from paupers who are saved by the sheer mercy of God.
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Titus 3:5-7
Enduring to the end involves making known Christ to the lost, beckoning them to repent, receive Christ, and be, live in readiness of His soon return.
“And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:” Revelation 2:26
Those living ready for Christ’s return have put and are keeping their hand on the plow of His Gospel, His Great Commission work:
“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62
The Divine Invitation
“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Revelation 22:17
Saints, the world is coming undone. More daily. Foretold in Matthew 24 and Luke 21. Preach the Gospel saints. GOD is holding you accountable to obey His Great Commission command.
YOUR PRAYER: Father in Jesus’ name, please forgive my sin of rebellion, of self-idolatry, of spiritual adultery, fornication, strife, pride, drunkenness, over indulgence, etc. Please forgive and wash away all my sins now in Your precious blood dear LORD Jesus. Fill, prepare, and use me in Thy Great Commission work, all the way to the day You split that eastern sky LORD. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

10 Truths to Behold in Isaiah 41:10 [podcast]
“Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not
cast thee away. 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen
thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold
thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
Isaiah 41:9-10
There are 10 truths to behold in Isaiah 41:10:
• “Thou art my servant”
• “I have chosen thee”
• “and not cast thee away”
• “Fear thou not”
• “I am with thee”
• “be not dismayed”
• “for I am thy God”
• “I will strengthen thee”
• “I will help thee”
• “I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness”
The soul that prospers is that one who clings to, trusts in and
relies upon Christ alone, day by day, walking ever nearer to
the soon coming Savior. He is with us and promises to “never
leave thee, nor forsake thee”—that is, for those who abide
with Christ (Hebrews 13:5).
1 Peter 1
“Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Prayer: Dear LORD, thank You for helping me today, and
continuing the good work of salvation You began in me the
moment You saved me. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Goal of the Ungodly Eternal Security Teachers [podcast]
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (license to sin), and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 3-4
“This is AWESOME! You got all over it. It really flowed. Excellent! In the delivery, your excitement and passion for this subject are unmistakable. How can ANYONE listen to this and not want to check out the Word of God for themselves?” Debbie L.
“Thy prophets (false leaders) have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered (exposed) thine iniquity (have not uncovered your sin), to turn away thy captivity (to get you set free from it); but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment (ultimate termination into hell).” Lamentations 2:14
COUNTERFEITS who hide behind their OSAS fairy tale HATE this biblical reality and are willing to call the LORD a liar in order to retain this heresy – “And he that overcometh, and KEEPETH my works UNTO THE END, to him will I give power over the nations:” (Revelation 2:26)
