Are You Prepared For God’s Kingdom?(The Sign of Times, and End of Age)

The Lord predicts the destruction of the temple, and prophecy of the sign of times, and end of age to come. Jesus gives us warnings so we can be prepared for God’s Kingdom. We must be watchful, pray, and speak to the people throughout the nation. We have been provided with too much new technology not to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the nation. We have to prepare the people for God’s Kingdom those who are willing to see, hear, and ready to receive Him. God gives us specific instructions in the written Scriptures, and through His servants for us not to see, hear, or receive. Please do not condemn the technology today, use it to your advantage to get the gospel of Jesus Christ spread to a dying nation. Jesus did not condemn. He wants to reach the lost souls, and those who need to be reconciled, however you need to do it, just do it. Amen.

Matthew 24:1-14-v1-Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. V2-And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down. Three times the temple was destroyed with the first built by Solomon, which the Babylonians destroyed(2Chronicles 3 ). The second temple was built under the encouragement of Haggai and Zechariah, and the leadership of Zerubbabel and Joshua(Haggai 1). It was completely and lavishly renovated by Herod the Great. It stood for six years, and the Romans destroyed it to rubbish. Jesus destroyed the temple, and raised it up in 3 days(John 2:19-22). V3-Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and the end of Age?” v4-And Jesus answered and said to them: Take heed that no one deceives you. V5-For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. V6-And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. V7-For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilence, and earthquakes in various places. V8-All these are the beginning of sorrows. The earth are continuing having birth pangs today(Romans 8:22-For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Our hope is coming. From Suffering to Glory(v18-v30)). V9-Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. V10-And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. V11-Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. V12-And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. V13-But he who endures to the end shall be saved. V14-And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. There are many struggles with wickedness today. Jesus warning about being deceived by False Messiahs had existed before(Acts 5:36-37, False Apostles/Preachers/Teachers would come in the future(Acts 20:29-35-Paul gave two threats to the church from the outside and within. He said, unbelievers are a threat from the outside, and the arrogant and self-serving are a threat within, 2Corinthians 11:5-15-Paul and the False Apostles.
Paul was not really comparing himself to the real apostles of Christ, what he meant was he was untrained in preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. He was very skilled, knowledgeable, and a great speaker, but he was trained in other areas in his past life. Because of his past skills, past experiences, and past position, other gifted and skilled teachers, apostles was denying his authority to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ(1Corinthians 1:12-13). Paul went through great pain to prove his apostolic credentials. He present his life, and ministry that God gave him for all to review. Paul did more than just prove himself, but he put it in writing to warn others of the falsehood in preaching and teaching. Paul boasting was not of his own accomplishments, compromising his faith for the people, or speaking to gain a profit personally for himself. He was boasting of his weakness, and sufferings in the ministry God gave him. He labored, and received support from other churches to preach to the poor(1Thessalonians 2:9). Those who preach the gospel should make a living from the gospel(1Corinthians 9:14-Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel). New Testament ministers were to be provided for as well(1Timothy 5:17-18-v17-Let the elders who rule will be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. V18-For the Scripture says, You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain, and the laborer is worthy of his wages). I heard the voice, you are worthy of the wages. I am a giver, and not a taker. In the past, I was always looking to receive. In my past relationships, I was a taker, but I had a heart to give a little. People always tell me, Evelyn, it is good to help people, but look out for yourself, and family first. I still give to others because God was doing something in me. Just like Paul, although he had a right to receive money from the Corinthians, he chose not to do so in order to demonstrate his integrity. Integrity means uprightness in character, honesty, the state and quality of being complete and undivided. He want to prove to his critics they are not on the same level as himself. God called him, and when God give you a position is nothing your critics can say or do. The written Scripture said in Galatians 1:11-12-But I make known to you, breathren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. V12-For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. Amen. God was dealing with me on this Scripture from January 2005-October 2005, then in February 2007. Please hear the Word of God. Whatever God say for you to do through email, internet, telephone, letter, knock at the door, in church, ministry group, home ministry, school, community event, through His servants just do it. You will know because it has been told to you many times everywhere you are. You don’t have to have a title, have experience, skills, money, or own anything. Amen. Did you hear God’s words somewhere? How long did God speak in your life? How many times did He said, you can be saved, healed, delivered, and set free. How many times did God give you a position in Him? How many times did God said, He will provide for you, supply all your needs, give you an increase, prosper you, you will possess the land, eat the fruit of the land, and you should have wealth in His Kingdom. It is a free gift, if you want to receive it. Are You Prepared For God’s Kingdom?

Love Your Servant and Minister in Jesus Christ
