Are you Ready?

Jesus answered, 'You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world

, 'that I should bear 'witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." John 18:36-37



Tells Us Things To Come

JOHN 16:13 NKJ

13 "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, . . . He will tell you things to come.

Ready to smoke a joint.

“There will be no more delay!

"ARE YOU READY TO DIE?"

A sudden phone call informed me that my sister-in-law had died. She did not want to die, but she was ready.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those whoa re ready to die, and those who are not ready.

Each human being has an appointment to die. God says in the Bible , " It is appointd unto men once to die but after this th judgment..(Hebrews 9:27)

Death is certain, and judgment is a reality.


Like my sister-in-law, I'm ready to die, for I am ready to meet god. One day I realized I was guilty of sin, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)

Then I heard the good news that Christ loved me and died on the cross for me. Yes, Jesus took my sin and thus satisfied God's judgment on sin so that I could be forgiven. Romans 5:8 tells us that .."God commendeth His love toward us, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

I invited Jesus to become my Savior and through that act I became ready to die. On the basis of God's Word, I have perfect assurance that when my life on this earth is over, I am going to heaven to live forever with my Savior, for the scripture says that whoever believes on Jesus Christ has everlasting life. (John 3:36)

Would'nt you like to be ready to die and meet God? Your life on this earth is very brief. "What is your life? It is like a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away" (James 4:14) It is short and uncertain; however, everyone will live forever either in heaven with God or seperated from Him. "Your iniquities have seperated you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you" ( Isaiah 59:2 )

Today you need to decide where you will spend eternity. You can spend eternity in heaven if you turn away from your sin and receive Christ as your Savior. Then you can face death fearlessly, for your hope will be in Christ. If you are willing to accept Him, pray this prayer:

"DEAR LORD JESUS, I WANT TO BE READY TO DIE AND MEET YOU I ADMIT THAT I HAVE DONE WRONG AND AM A SINNER. I BELIEVE YOU SUFFERED AND DIED FOR MY SINS AND YOU AROSE FROM THE DEAD. RIGHT NOW I ACCEPT YOU AS MY SAVIOR AND WANT YOU TO CHANGE MY LIFE. THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME AND GIVING ME EVERLASTING LIFE, AMEN"


I AM READY


may 15th, 2011

THE GROOM HAS WAITED FOR HIS BRIDE TO BE READY!


I WAS RUSHING AROUND GETTING THINGS READY FOR THE BIG WEDDING TO BEGIN.

I WAS IN CHARGE BECAUSE I WAS THE MATRON OF HONOR. THINGS WERE GOING GREAT, I HAD

EVERYTHING ALL READY, AND THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED WHICH HAD ME SO STRESSED, BECAUSE I THOUGHT

THE WEDDING WOULD BE RUINED. THERE WERE MANY TV'S TO ANNOUNCE THE WEDDING LIVE FOR THE

WORLD TO WATCH , BUT SUDDENLY THE TV'S LOST TRANSMISSION, AND WE COULD'NT GET THEM UP AND RUNNING.

I THOUGHT..OH NO..NOT ANOTHER DELAY!!! I RUSHED AROUND...TRYING TO FIX THIS, AND THEN JUST WHEN I WAS

SO UPSET AND WORRIED THAT I COULD'NT FIX THIS, SOMEONE YELLED..."HERE WE GO"!!...WE GOT IT!!!...IT'S A GO!!


ALL THE LITTLE CHILDREN STARTED DANCING AROUND, AND SO HAPPY THAT WE COULD HAVE THE WEDDING NOW, AND I WAS SOOOOO
HAPPY...I HUGGED THE BRIDE SO HARD, AND THEN I HEARD THE GROOM SPEAK AND HE SAID....

"ARENT YOU HAPPY, THAT I WAITED PATIENTLY FOR MY BRIDE...FOR HER TO BE READY?"

5 Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven. 6 And he swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, and said, “There will be no more delay! 7 But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.”

8 Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more: “Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”

9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but ‘in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’[a]” 10 I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. 11 Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”

Revelation 11
The Two Witnesses
1 I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. 2 But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months. 3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” 4 They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.” 5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die. 6 They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.
7 Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them. 8 Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city—which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified. 9 For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. 10 The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.

11 But after the three and a half days the breath[c] of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.

13 At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon.

The Seventh Trumpet
15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said:
“The kingdom of the world has become
the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,
and he will reign for ever and ever.”

16 And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying:

“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
the One who is and who was,
because you have taken your great power
and have begun to reign.
18 The nations were angry,
and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,
and for rewarding your servants the prophets
and your people who revere your name,
both great and small—
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”

19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.
