Precursor to the message: I want you all to know that I have struggled throughout the week trying to understand the exact message the Lord wanted me to give you today. I am always 100 percent honest with you and today is no exception. The “caution” lights have been going off in my spirit for a while now. Really, ever since Charlie Kirk made his journey to Heaven, I am seeing things way deeper than I ever have before. The key verse below is truth. We will NOT know the exact hour Jesus is coming back, but what I desire for all of my readers to hone in on is the beginning of Matthew 24:44 – “SO YOU ALSO MUST BE READY…..”. I prayed fervently that God would ensure this message would resonate with your spirit, not put you in a state of tumultuous fear. For those of us who are Christians, it is our duty, and should be our pleasure, our joy to give the good news of Jesus Christ to others. The enemy, the ruler of this world, does NOT want us to testify to the Lost. Satan’s desire is purely for us to stay silent or asleep (asleep in spirit). We MUST DEFY that cause of his and push forth in our faith to quantify God’s Kingdom – There is no better time than NOW! ~ Amen!
Key Verse:
“So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him.” — Matthew 24:44
The Warning Signs Are All Around Us
If you’ve been paying attention to the world lately – wars, natural disasters, moral confusion, hatred, division – racial and otherwise, advanced technology – or AI, famine, to include the government shutdown, and the potential of its effect on our society (Revelation 13:16-17) – you know something feels different, I know something feels different, not right. What God calls good is now being mocked and labeled evil, while what His Word calls sin is being celebrated and promoted. It’s all written precious friend.
This isn’t coincidence. This is fulfillment. Scripture told us these days would come – days where truth would be trampled, where hearts would grow cold, and where darkness would appear to reign.
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” — Isaiah 5:20
The spiritual battle between righteousness and evil has never been more visible. Yet as believers, we don’t fear this – we stand firm, because the victory has already been won through Jesus Christ (John 16:33).
The Enemy Is Working Overtime
Make no mistake: Satan knows his time is short. His mission is clear – to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). And in these last days, he’s working overtime to deceive as many souls as he can. His tactics are subtle but deadly: distraction, compromise, comfort, and confusion.
He wants believers asleep and unbelievers blind. He wants us divided, discouraged, and disarmed.
But we have been called to wake up.
“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” – 1 Peter 5:8
Now is not the time to grow weary. Now is the time to be anchored in faith, to walk boldly in truth, and to live with hearts fully surrendered to the Lord.
Hope for Those Who Believe
While the world spirals, our hope is unshakable. The return of Jesus Christ isn’t something to fear – it’s something to rejoice in. For those who belong to Him, His coming means redemption, restoration, and everlasting life in His presence.
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God.” — 1 Thessalonians 4:16
We don’t know the day or hour, but we know the promise is true. And every prophecy fulfilled, every sign we witness, is another reminder that God’s Word stands unbroken – All aspects of belief in the Almighty we stand bold in sharing with others.
So how do we prepare? By staying ready — spiritually, emotionally, and faithfully.
How to Stay Ready
- Strengthen your relationship with Jesus.
Spend time daily in prayer, repentance, and thanksgiving. Know His voice so that no other voice can lead you astray. - Stay in God’s Word.
Scripture is our guide, our anchor, and our defense against deception. - Live out your faith boldly.
Don’t hide your light in a world that desperately needs truth. Be the reflection of Christ wherever you are. - Encourage others to return to Him.
Share the Gospel in love. Time is short, and eternity is real.
A Final Word of Encouragement
Loved one, this message isn’t meant to bring fear – it’s meant to bring urgency. The same God who created the heavens and earth is calling His children to stand firm, to endure, and to keep their eyes fixed on the coming glory.
The world may grow darker, but the light of Christ shines brighter than ever. Let us not grow cold or complacent, but ready – hearts awake, lamps burning, waiting for our King.
“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come.” – Revelation 22:17
He is coming soon.
Be ready.
Amen and Amen.
