Will You Be Ready?

By Thelma Owens
I believe with all that's going on in the Earth Realm Now is the time for self examination. We need to ask ourselves, If Christ would return today would we be ready. What shape is our vessels in? Christ is coming back for a people without spot or wrinkle. The Lord is not concerned about our status, titles or positions, He's concerned about our souls.
As I began to look at the events unfold on television yesterday concerning the death of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, I told the Lord, it doesn't matter your status in life, who you are, how famous you are, and how much money you have when death knocks on your door, you will die.  My questions is will you be ready because ready or not death will come.  The bible says in Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:  A time to be born, and a time to die.

 

Matthew 24:42-44 says this: Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.  But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.  Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

 

There is no warning for death, if we knew when death would come we would live like we wanted to up until that time. Look at the goodman if he knew the thief was coming he would have watched his house.

 

The Bridgroom is coming for His Bride, if we are not prepared we will not be able to go back with Him.  It is our responsibility to keep our hearts clean and our vessels pure so that when Christ comes for us we will be ready.  I believe now is the time we should look at the "Man in the mirror" and ask ourselves if Jesus came  today, this minute, would we be ready.

 

My prayers go out today to those who are walking through times of sadness and grief but more than anything I pray that as the days show signs of the end nearing and Christ fast approaching, we would all ask ourselves "Will I Be Ready"
