Jesus is coming back, and the church is coming back with Him
That is why we need to live a Holy life now
You can’t think that you can just live like the World
and then God will do all the work cleaning you up,
making you act and think Holy after you die
According to 1 Timothy 6:14 we need to live right now without spot, “until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ”
1 Timothy 6:14 (KJV) That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
As the bride of Christ, “we must be presented a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle…”
Ephesians 5:27 (KJV) That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
We are being challenged to live a Godly life NOW!
2 Peter 3:11-14 (KJV) Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
This is the time to live right in the sight of God
This is the time to, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38 (KJV)
I’ll address this more in a few minutes
Right now, we must see Jesus is ready to come back soon
It is soon because we are now in the last day’s
After the Rapture takes place, there will be a 7 year tribulation like the world has never seen
At the end of the tribulation period, Jesus and the Church will return in the Second Coming
In Revelation 19:11, We see these mysteries of God revealed
Revelation 19:11-12 (KJV) And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself
his eyes were like flames of fire and on his head were many crowns
a name was written on him that no one understood except himself
he wore a robe dipped in blood
and his title was the word of God
but here's the most amazing thing here is he's not going to be alone
many people don't realize the Lord is not coming back by himself
but he's actually going to be accompanied by something called the armies of heaven
the Bible calls Jesus the Lord of heaven's armies
Psalms 46:1-11 (KJV) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. 4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. 5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. 6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. 7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. 8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth. 9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. 10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
This all sounds like the Tribulation
in revelation 19:14 this army is going to be clothed in the finest of pure white linen
and they're going to follow him on white horses
Revelation 19:14 (KJV) And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
think about this, the one whose name is faithful and true
has a name no one can understand
His robe dripping in blood
His eyes like fire
He is wearing many crowns
but hold on, there's an army behind him wearing white linen on white horses
so, the question is, “who is the army?”
Who are these people that are riding on these horses?
these are all those that have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus
every single Saint from the days of Adam and Eve right until the time of the tribulation
right when the rapture happens
so, anyone from the rapture back is going to be in that army
here's the reality
if you believe in Jesus and are raptured
the Lord of heavens armies is going to lead you into battle that day
there is a man that is going to lead his army
we’re all going to have white linen, white horses,
and we're going to be riding back to the earth with Jesus
To destroy his enemies
to make war against the enemy of God
against the devil and against the armies of this world
the Antichrist is going to convince the world's armies to destroy God
he's going to try to wage war against God
the Antichrist is so powerful that people will say who can defeat him?
who can stand against the anti-Christ?
he is so powerful that people are going to think he's God
and they're going to be convinced that nobody can defeat him
The Anti-Christ is going to convince all the world's armies to go against the Lord and his anointed
Zechariah 14:3-4 (KJV) Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Jesus is going to come back on the mount of olives
and the mount of olives is going to split into two
and this is going to fulfill a prophecy as the Angel said in Acts 1:11
Acts 1:11 (KJV) Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Jesus will come back the same place where he left
the mount of olives was favorite place where Jesus taught His disciples
during his second coming he will descend on the mount of olives
and the Bible says the whole earth is going to tremble at his presence
and he's going to set out to begin to judge the world and reign with an iron rod
the Bible says the first time he came in John 1:29 was the Lamb of God to take away the sins of the world
John 1:29 (KJV) The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
The first time Jesus came was to bring Grace & Salvation.
He came as a savior to the world.
He came on a donkey, bringing peace
The second time Jesus comes back will be for war
He is coming as a King, riding a horse to declare war against the world
War Against the unsaved
War Against you if you are unsaved and take the Mark of the Beast
Revelation 5:4-14 (KJV) And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
He is the Lamb that was slain!
He paid the price for you and me and that price He paid far exceeded the debt owed
The debt He paid was enough!
Jesus IS ENOUGH!
God don’t need your works!
If you feel inadequate today,
If you feel like you need to do something more to receive you salvation
it’s because you sin in your life
And that sin will not let you be free
That sin is a constant reminder that you belong to someone else
You belong to your father the devil and the devil does not want to let you go
And because you feel this way you are always in a state of worry
You have no peace because you have NO JESUS!
This should be a good indication that you should examen yourself and repent of “the sin that so easily beset you!”
Hebrews 12:1-2 (KJV) Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
But! If you believe in Jesus, then you know that you know that JESUS PAID IT ALL!
Jesus is ENOUGH
So, I believe on Him enough to act like I believe in Him
I no longer doubt
I no longer worry
I no longer fret
I no longer question my salvation
I no longer question His Word
I no longer question His Grace because His Grace is sufficient for me
I live a life of victory! Victory in Jesus!
I live a Holy Life!
A dedicated life
A Sanctified Life
A victorious, Holy Ghost directed, Holy living, white robed, sin hating, devil conquering, God bought, blood washed, blessed life
And because of this, I
Go to church
I give my time
I give my life
I give my money
I give my all to the furtherance to the Kingdom of God
Bible says in revelation he's riding on a White Horse
because you understand he's not coming to declare peace he's coming to declare war
Revelation 5:5 say’s he comes back as the lion of the tribe of Judah
not as a lamb or on a donkey
but on a White Horse, ready for war
He is coming back to establish a real government on this earth
he's going to come to this earth and establish an eternal Kingdom for 1000 years
when he comes back he's coming back to bring judgment
Acts 17:31 (KJV) Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
God has set a day for judging the world with justice by the man Christ Jesus
God sends Jesus, and appoints him to bring justice to the world
and he proves Jesus by raising him from the dead
Jesus is not going to use tanks or guns or knives or missiles
or sniper rifles or other conventional weapons of war
the weapon he's going to use is going to be more powerful than any weapon ever devised
or created by humans
it's going to be more powerful than the most powerful nuclear warhead
and the weapon he's going to be using is the word of God
Revelation 19:13-15 (KJV) And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
the spoken word of God is going to be a sword out of his mouth
and with this very Word he is going to strike down the nation's
this is not a God to mess around with
remember the Bible says that the anti-Christ gathers all the world's armies at Armageddon to fight the Lord
they're all there ready to fight him with every technology
with every new clear advancement
And the Lord, out of his mouth comes a sword which is the Word of God
and the Word of God will destroy the enemies of God
Isaiah 11:4 (KJV) But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
Hebrews 4:12 (KJV) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
How much more should we know the Word of God?
Use the Word of God to fight the devil now
Use the Word of God to win the battles in your life
Use the Word of God to deliver people from demon possession
Use the Word of God to deliver people from drugs and addictions
Use the Word of God to deliver people from sexual addictions and pornography
Use the Word of God to bring healing
Use the Word of God to bring peace into someone’s life
Use the Word of God to bring joy unspeakable and full of Glory!
Use the Word of God to bring Holiness and purity to someone’s life
Use the Word of God to think on:
whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise,
think on these things. -Philippians 4:8
Revelation 2:16 (KJV) Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
The Antichrist is going to be the most powerful human being that ever walked the earth outside of Jesus Christ
and no human will be able to defeat him
but we're going to be a part of the army fighting against the rulers and the people of this world and the Antichrist
we're going to be in the Lord’s army
So, get your sword ready because this is no game, this is no joke
Jesus destroys every force gathered against him at the battle of Armageddon
and the Antichrist slain by the breath of the Lord
2 Thessalonians 2:8 (KJV) And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Are you ready?
Prepare now because it won’t be long!
