If we ever need to be led by the spirit it is now
Meditate about these things.
According to Matt.26:18, Jesus Christ said, “My time is at hand.” This He said because He knew the time of His death and return to glory was near. All His attention was geared towards fulfilling what He came to earth for and returning to heaven, via paradise below at the time. He was focused, severing ties with the world system because this was not home to him.
Many of us do not remember that this present earth is not our home. Remember, Abraham in Heb. 11:10 said, “For he looked for a city which hath foundations (Rev. 21:14-19, reminds one of such), whose builder and maker is God.” Our days on earth for the true believers are almost up, and any moment. Let us stay focused as Our Lord Jesus Christ.
He was always reminding His disciples of His departure; and towards the few days to it, He spoke less. He expected those who have ears to hear to have heard. As our departure approaches let us be heavenly minded to see Our Lord and our faithful brethren who have gone before us; we need to focus and not be distracted. Let our eyes be single. If we ever need to be led by the Spirit it is NOW.
It is difficult to fast and pray today more than ever, because the pressures of the wicked one are coming, and different distractions and discouragements. But this is no reason not to be ready at all times. Missing the translation will be very expensive, don’t take that chance. Have you ever imagined the loving care of Jesus, turning to the wrath of the Lamb. He is righteous altogether and perfect in all, including His judgment.
Do not forget Matt 26:14-16, Judas Iscariot covenanted with the chief priests to betray Our Lord for 30 pieces of silver. The Bible said, “And from that time he sought the opportunity to betray Him.” The people who will betray the believers are already making the deals and covenanting with the wicked one and his representatives. Some like Judas Iscariot are among us and some were with us sometime. If they were of us they would remain, but Judas and his type did not remain. Betrayals are coming but be strong in the Lord. Jesus said in verse 23, “He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.” Betrayal is one of the signs of the endtime.
Our hour is approaching, let us be of good cheer. Heaven is expectant of the return of the overcomers; no procrastination about it. We overcame Satan and all his pitfalls, snares, traps and darts. Angels will look at us with amazement, when we shall tell our stories of how we overcame. Do you have a story to tell when we get to heaven? Hebrews 11:40 reads, “that they without us should not be made perfect.” Let us do all we can to be found faithful. Finally, study all of Romans 8 and end it with, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?” Don’t betray the Lord now, like Judas for money. We are in the last hours on earth. Will it all end in heaven or the lake of fire?
