You Often Hear

You often hear me say "Time is short", for I feel in my spirit that it is indeed!

I feel a sense of urgency and I know I'm not alone. The message of repentance has to be shared, yet so many are unconcerned. Often, the following verse is quoted to me:

“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” Matthew‬ ‭24:36‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I am also told they have heard it all of their lives. They have been desensitized to it message. They believe that as it always has been, so it will continue!

“Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭14:16-24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

You may not see it, but He IS going out into the "highways and hedges", and they are coming in! The "poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind" ARE seeing the light and ARE being called out and "compelled to come in that His house may be filled." 

His "house" is not the churches. He is calling the wretched out of those big buildings that have been built to glorify man.

 "Man builds with his hands what's missing in his heart!" (KC) We are His church and we will be hated by the world. 

“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew‬ ‭24:9-14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If you think that all will continue, as it has been, you are deceived. It may not happen this year; it may not happen in 5 years; it may not happen in 25, however KNOW THIS!  The end WILL come when you least expect it, "as it is written!"

“Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:44‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We have been given orders and as His servants, we must be about our Master's business! We have no choice! If you are not obedient to His Word, then you are not His servant. Plain and simple!

“Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.”  Matthew‬ ‭24:46‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;” Matthew‬ ‭24:48‬ ‭KJV‬‬

An evil servant is one who sits in the house of God yet does not obey. One who might have one time felt the call to repentance, but loves his sin more than he loves God. He thinks he is "okay" or has time to "get right."

“The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew‬ ‭24:50-51‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The end of life as we know it, might not be tomorrow, but our lives could end today! Do not wait, for it may indeed be too late! Check your heart! Ask God to show you (and He will) any hidden sins; unforgiveness, bitterness, anger, judgments, worry, fear which is unbelief! 

Repent while there is still time! 

Even so - MARANATHA!
