Are You Ready?

By Michael Youssef, Ph.D.

Just like the disciples, most of us would like to know the exactday and time of Christ's return. Jesus, however, said that no one, noteven He, knew this information. He did, however, tell us how we shouldlive up until that point of His return. We are to abide in Him andtrust Him for the future. We are not to worry or become fretful. God issovereign and even when it seems as though our world is coming apart,He is still in control.

We can look at the signs of our age and know His return is drawing near.

The political unrest in the Middle East continues to be front-pagenews. Each day we hear and read of growing strife in the region.

The economic future of the modern world is tied up in the Middle East.The unrest there will not end until Jesus returns and until God hasestablished His throne.

There is an alarming increase ofinterest in Satanism around the world. Many believers turn a deaf earto this subject and no longer pray against the enemy's power on earth.

The entertainment industry is including more and more occult languageand anti-God situations in movies and television programs. Our mindsare being bombarded with material that is in direct opposition to God'struth and principles.

Are you ready for Christ's return?Most of us would answer yes! But have you taken time to tell someoneelse about God's saving grace? Jesus told His disciples to take whatthey had learned from Him and teach it to the entire world. God ispreparing a place for us, but He also is continuing to draw men andwomen to Himself. Your life is a testimony to His eternal love andforgiveness. Let your prayer be to share His love with as many aspossible before His return.

Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb (Revelation 7:10).

before going to church I said this prayer "Oh Lord please let them talk about Rapture at the service" I said that prayer to confirm from the Lord about all the Rapture notes I have received and how close, and Lo and behold! Rapture was what, we treated at the Sunday-School and now this very note from Dr.Youseff. Please bro and sister's Rapture is very at hand- Work your Salvation with fear and trembling and also try to win more souls for Christ. I pray the Grace of Christ Jesus keep you faithful and holy till the Rapture in Jesus name.
