Are you AWARE of the times and READY to survive and RESPOND so that multitudes come into His Kingdom for such a time as this? Are you a ReadyChristian?
“My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of My Hand.” John 10:27-28
God’s Word reminds us to LISTEN to Him alone in an hour when many godless voices are competing to capture our minds and hearts. It is God’s voice alone we should be listening to in these uncertain days, not the voice of the godless who seek to divide, destroy and deceive.
God has given us a new heart and put a new Spirit within us. He has removed our heart of stone and given us a heart of flesh. And, He has put His Spirit in us so that we would follow His decrees and be careful to keep His laws, versus the laws now being imposed by the godless. (Ezekiel 36:26-27)
We are being bombarded with threats resulting in chaos and confusion from godless power seekers such as:
Russia threatens biowarfare on Eastern Europe after flattening Ukraine and devastating millions of lives;
Following a global pandemic undermining trust of governing bodies we are left with inflation and a destabilized monetary supply;
Cyber warfare threatens our infrastructure of utilities and supply chains as well as the economic business machine that feeds our families each day; and
Gasoline shortages threaten the means to which we acquire the basic necessities of life: shelter, medicine, food and water.
As Christians we are not without Hope! As threats bombard us we must confess they are an unrelenting force without Christ. Threats make it harder to hear the sweet, soft and often very quiet voice of God without the disciplines that mark the walk of the faithful believer - yet reading His Word, faithful prayer and following His decrees is the only pathway. This “God-listening” is where Christians must choose to dwell to be able to stand against that day. The greater the “world’s noise” the greater the “God-listening” we must have!
We are told in His Word to be aware of what is going on around us and be ready to respond according to His voice and Word with or without notice to the unfolding events that seek to divide, destroy and deceive us. Standing together with other Christians helps us survive and keeps us standing stronger and longer. Being ready to survive and help others is what propels us into the greatest joy this side of heaven. And, seeing new babies born into the Kingdom as a direct result of our obedience gives us a lasting eternal legacy pleasing to God!
Would it profit a Christian to be spared the loss of his or her life only to face Christ without bringing multitudes along into His Kingdom?
No, it is the reason why we are here - to Glorify Christ!
So, ask yourself THREE QUESTIONS:
Do you have a CHRISTIAN RESPONSE GROUP in place where you have agreed in advance to support each other in these uncertain times? i.e. Will they hold you accountable to the basic principles of being a disciple in good or hard times?
Do you have a PLAN in place to survive and find loved ones and communicate rapidly? I.e. Does it include helping others as Jesus taught?
Do you have a GO KIT in your car, office and at home that will help you survive for a minimum of one week? I.e. Does it have supplies to share your Hope in Christ beside food, water and survival necessities?
If not, let CEN help you answer these three vital questions - get your downloadable copy of ReadyChristian TODAY BEFORE the door closes!

ReplyDeleteSo true. Come quickly Lord Jesus!
ReplyDeleteIn times such as this, it is easy to allow fear and anxiety to occupy oneself. It is so critical that we remain calm, compassionate and learn the skills to help those who are distressed regain control of themself to reduce their tension and make sound decisions with wisdom from above.

ReplyDeleteLearning to listen and respond to God is a vital discipline to develop as a Believer! Learning to stand strong in the peace that passes all understanding is also vital in these days. I also try to always remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood and to pray for ALL to come to know Christ and have Him change their hearts.
