Preparing Families to Be Spiritually Ready for the Last Days

Most of us don't make it and most of it never make it. The reason why you don't make it and you fall off the wagon and everything else is because you were never going to make it, because you're full of everything else but the Holy Spirit of God. Make sure your gauge is full of the spirit of God. We don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow, don't wanna happen on Tuesday, you don't wanna happen on Thursday, you haven't actually, you might be curious or whatever, it doesn't matter because you are full of the spirit God. And no matter what the doctor says, [01:28:24] (30 seconds)  #SpiritGaugeFull

We have things going on. The the news, you see things happen in Jewish synagogue, you see things happening on on college campuses, you see all these things happening, the seeker sales and and you know, all the anti this and anti church this, anti America that. We need to teach our families the signs of the times. We can't just ignore it. Jesus did not tell believers to ignore the last days, he told us to watch. Watch.

This means teaching us how to pray, how to seek God, how to hear his voice, how to walk in holiness, teach them how to live ready. The purpose of teaching about the last days is not curiosity, it's readiness. I've always been curious. I I I love history in school, mean rest of it, not so much. Hey man, give me some history. Let's talk about history. You know history, world history, let's talk history. [01:04:38] (30 seconds)  #TeachReadinessNotCuriosity

It's curiosity, we're not living in a time now that we need to be curious about what's going on in the world today, we need to make sure we're living in a lifestyle of readiness. God, we're ready. Come on somebody, we're ready. The bible says in Acts chapter two and the day of Pentecost all together in one accord in one place and suddenly there come a sound from heaven, a rushing mighty wind and it filled the room where they were sitting and it fell upon them, clothed in tongues like as of fire and it sat on them. That's what it says. [01:05:17] (31 seconds)  #LiveReadyAlways

You can't do that from the outside without first having it on the inside. Okay, pastor. I'm gonna leave I'm not gonna be like the world. I'm gonna like the world. I'm gonna talk like the world. I ain't gonna do the things of the world. I'm gonna march out here and do Honey, that's not how you do it. You will not do it. You won't do it because you can't do it. Living holy on the outside is an outgrowth of the holiness that you have on the inside. And only Holy Spirit can make you holy. And the more of him that you have, then the more of him will [01:18:52] (34 seconds)  #InnerHolinessFirst

is Jerusalem. Everything comes out of that. Every direction comes out of that. And what's going on over there and the things that's going on over here is is we we see it on the news and it's oh I had no idea can you can you believe what's going on? If you're a Christian you should say yes. As a matter of fact I do. As a matter of fact I do and I didn't get it from any news broadcast, got it from reading my bible.

Now I think that's very important when we look at the earth today and what's going on in the world today and and what some of the stuff I'm trying to teach you is that it's very important that we that we stay with God. One of the old back in the day when I had when Sunday morning was full of, Christian services, it was it's the only time you could really see them. You didn't have all these different networks that was on. But one of I forgot which one it was. He'd always at the end of his service says, go with God and he will go with you.

So what's the point? The whole point is that the enemy waited. I don't know how long he waited. He waited. He waited. We're dealing with a patient enemy that will wait. He will wait you out and if you're spiritually distracted, if you're if you're running with fear, then he'll catch you when you least expect it. We need to make sure that we don't allow we don't allow the enemy to have that kind of access to us. Our children must learn because the enemy will lie and wait. The bible says in Genesis that sin [01:02:52] (31 seconds)  #EnemyLiesAndWaits
