Summary: My wish is that everyone would receive Jesus as Savior and Lord, The story of the 5 foolish virgins is so sad. They ran out of oil. Oil represents the Holy Spirit. We need to be ready.

WISH WE ALL HAD BEEN READY

*Getting Ready to Leave This World

Laying up my treasures in that Home above, Trusting fully, trusting in the Savior's love

Doing what I can for Heaven's holy Dove I'm getting ready to leave this world

Gettin' ready to leave this world

Gettin' ready for the gates of pearl Keeping my record bright, Watching both day and night

I'm getting ready to leave this world

Trusting in the riches of His saving grace In each earthly trial, I His love can trace,

Sure that up in Heaven I shall find a place And I'm getting ready to leave this world

Gettin' ready to leave this world, Gettin' ready for the gates of pearl

Keeping my record right. Watching both day and night

I'm getting ready to leave this world To prepare a mansion, Jesus said I'll go If it were not true,

I would have told you so, Just a little while to linger here below And I'm getting ready to leave this world

Gettin' ready to leave this world, Gettin' ready for the gates of pearl Keeping my record right

WE WILL SEE THAT THE DAY IS COMING WHEN THE HATRED OF ISRAEL WILL COME TO A HEAD. ON THAT DAY ALL THE NATIONS ON EARTH WILL GATHER TO PUSH ISRAEL INTO THE MED THE ISLAMIC NATIONS HAVE THREATEN AND ANNIHILATE IS ISRAEL

SADDUM HUSSEIN’S LAST WORDS AS THEY PUT THE ROPE AROUND HIS NECK HE SHOUTED: “ALLAHU AKBAR. THE MUSLIM UMMAH WILL BE VICTORIOUS AND PALESTINE IS AHAB!”

Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

Jeruslem has been de has been destroyed 2 times besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, captured 44 timess. History records that the city of Jerusalem has been surrounded 16 times since 1948.

Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

Luke 21:20 (MSG) "When you see soldiers camped all around Jerusalem, then you'll know that she is about to be devastated.

Luke 21:20 (NLT2) “And when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you will know that the time of its destruction has arrived.

JERUSALEM WILL BE UNDER SEIGE. THE ARAB AND MUSLIM CONTROLLED AREAS ARE HOSTILE ND VOW TO PUSH ISRAEL INTO THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA. THEY VOW TO UTTERLY DESTROY

ISRAEL HAS THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA ON THE EAST SIDE. LEBANON TO THE NORTH.

IF YOU HAVE EVER VISITED ISRAEL YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO VISIT IRAN. THERE IS A GREAT CONFLICT BETWTEEN THE IS THE ISLAMIC SYSTEM . (HAGAR/SARAH)

IRAN’S POPULATION IS 10X’S LAGER THAN ISRAELS. TERRORISM, CIVIL UNREST, ARREST AND DETENTIONS

IRAN HAS THOUSANDS OF CRUISE MISSILES. NOW THEY USE THE COMPUTER TO CONTROL THOUSANDS OF DRONES.

THESE FRONES AND MISSILES ARE IN EASY RANGE OF ISRAEL, The tension are escalating daily.

The Israeli and Palestinian conflict has an element of RADICAL GROUPS HAMAS. IRANIAN MONEY FLOWS FREELY TO THESE RADICAL ARMIES.

THE STRATEGIC PLANS AND GOALS OF IRAQ AND IRAN IS TO PROVOKE ISRAEL INTO A MILITARY RESPONSE WHERE THEY WILL LOOK BAD AND THE USA SUPPORT WILL BE JEOPARDIZE. THE IS A CRY FROM WITHIN THE USA POLITICAL AND SOCIAL OUT CRY.

IT APPEARS IRAN HAS THE UPPER HAND: IRAN HAS MORE TANKS, A GREAT NAVY, MORE VEHICLES AND A MUCH GREATER ACCESS TO GAS AND FUEL.

I WANT TO TELL YOU A VERY SAD STORY… THERE WERE TEN VIRGINS… THE LESSON OF SPIRITUAL VIGILANCE. THE OIL REPRESENTS THE INWARD… . SEEMS THE 5 FOOLISH HAD ALL THE EXTERNAL IN ORDER BUT THERE WAS A LACKING IN SPIRITUAL VALUES.

HEAR ME THERE WERE TEN! THEY WERE ALL VIRGINS… IF YOU LOOKED AT THEM YOU THINK EVERYTHING WAS OK. IN THE DAY ALL SEEMS WELL. IT IS WELL? NO IT IS NOT. 5 WISE --- 5 FOOLISH. THERE IS AN ATTITUDE PROBLEM.

Matthew 25:1 (NIV) "At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.

HOW SAD, 5 HAD SOME HOW ALLOWED A LUKEWARMNESS TO CAUSE THEM TO NOT BE READY. THEY WERE STILL VIRGINS. THEY RAN OUT OF OIL WHILE DOING ALL THEIR DUTIES… THE OIL WAS A SYMBOL OF PREPAREDNESS.

Matthew 25:4 (NIV) The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

THERE WAS A CRIED, A MIDNIGHT CRY --- THE 5 FOOLISH WAS WITHOUT OIL. OIL REPRESENTS THE HOLLY SPIRIT. THE LAMPS ARE THE EXTERNAL, OUTWARD VISIBLE SIGN. THE PROBLEM OF THE HEART IS THE HEART OF THE PROBLM.

HOW SAD, THE FOOLISH WAS A LITTLE BIT PREPARED.

Matthew 25:6-10 (NIV) "At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!' 7 "Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.' 9 "'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.' ,10 "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.

Matthew 25:11 (NIV) "Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!' 12 "But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.' 13 "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

SO SORRY, YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN A GOOD PERSON, YOU MIGHT HAVE DONE MANY MIGHTY WORKS, YOUR MOTIVES WERE WRONG, I NEVER KNEW YOU--- NEVER? THIS BREAKS MY HEART.

This has to be a full gospel person. They prophesied. They cast out devils.They did many wonderful works.

They missed the target. The never knew the Lord. They never came into the presence of the Holy Spirit. How sad, they spent their ministry in wasted time and energy.

Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

THERE IS AN ACID TEST… HAVE YOU KEPT THE COMMANDMENTS? HAVE YOU LOVED YOUR ENEMIES? HAVE YOU SAT AT THE TABLE WITH JUDAS? HAVE YOU WASHED JUDAS’ FEET? THAT A JUDGMENT TO BE PLACE ON PROFESSED MINISTERS THAT DOES NOT BRING FORTH GOOD FRUIT. It takes more than mere, professing. We must DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER.

1 Peter 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

I WISH WE’D ALL BEEN READY

Life was filled with guns and war And everyone got trampled on the floor

I wish we'd all been ready Children died the days grew cold

A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold I wish we'd all been ready

There's no time to change your mind The son has come and you've been left behind, A man and wife asleep in bed

She hears a noise and turns her head He's gone I wish we'd all been ready

Two men walking up a hill, One disappears and one's left standing still I wish we'd all been ready,

There's no time to change your mind The son has come and you've been left behind

WE HAVE TO BY FAITH DISCIPLINE THEMSELVES TO HAVE A VISION AND A PLAN. DO DILIGENCE, IF WE AVE LOST OUR VISION WE ARE FOREVER DOOMED. PEOPLE WITH GOALS AND PLANS AND DILIGENTLY DO GOD’S WORK WILL BE HAPPY BY FINDING THEMSELVES SURRENDER TO GODS WILL.

Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Matthew 24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

2 Peter 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Luke 16:12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?

Deuteronomy 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

CONCLUSION: WILL WE SERVE, PRESS FORWARD MY FRIEND. WILL LEAD US TO THE PRIZE.

Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Please meet me at Jesus feet!
