Are You Ready?
Mathew 26 "So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the wilderness,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.
27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.29 "Immediately after the distress of those days "'the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'
30 "Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
32 "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Thinking of this Devotional my mind went so many places...but space is limited.
A very good Pastor and very close friend once said in a sermon that " If God doesn't hurry up and return he will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah". After the sermon I quickly and lovingly reminded him that God will never have to apologize for any of his actions including Sodom and Gomorrah! It was a intended to get people's attention, another well meaning statement that said something scripture doesn't say!
Thinking back on Saturday, Atheist had a field day,(another reason to mock Christianity), uninformed and young Christians were terrified, and even worse Christians who knew better made fun and jokes about the false prophecy. What a sad day for our savior.
Here is what I know. When I started preaching, I soon realized that there was more of God's word than I could share in a lifetime. I didn't have time to come up with the Book of Mike Mims, Time was precious.
Since his prediction was based on the science of math, (by the way it's an exact science till it's applied) I thought I would share God's Math...
There is 1 way to be saved, Jesus!
There is 1 way to please God, Faith in Jesus!
There is 1 day he will return, only God the Father Knows.
There is only 1 mission, share Christ with a lost and dying world.
There is only 1 way to stay in touch with the joy and excitement of God, Prayer!
There is only 1 attitude for Christians; get up every morning hoping and praying that today is the day! Or go to be hoping and praying that Gabriel's trumpet is what wakes you instead of an alarm clock! If you don't live life this way you better fall on your knees and repent!
Will he come Today! It is my prayer and would be the greatest day any Christian could imagine!
God Bless The Faithful!
Bro. Mike
