JESUS Is Coming Soon...Are You Ready? Maranatha! Hosted by: Lilly of the Valley VA's JESUS Loves You! Prayer Counseling Ministry

Revelation 22:11-21
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

"But who may abide the day of his coming?"

--Malachi 3:2

His first coming was without external pomp or show of power, and yet in truth there were few who could abide its testing might. Herod and all Jerusalem with him were stirred at the news of the wondrous birth. Those who supposed themselves to be waiting for Him, showed the fallacy of their professions by rejecting Him when He came. His life on earth was a winnowing fan, which tried the great heap of religious profession, and few enough could abide the process. But what will His second advent be? What sinner can endure to think of it? "He shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall He slay the wicked." When in His humiliation He did but say to the soldiers, "I am He," they fell backward; what will be the terror of His enemies when He shall more fully reveal Himself as the "I am?" His death shook earth and darkened heaven, what shall be the dreadful splendour of that day in which as the living Saviour, He shall summon the quick and dead before Him? O that the terrors of the Lord would persuade men to forsake their sins and kiss the Son lest He be angry! Though a lamb, He is yet the lion of the tribe of Judah, rending the prey in pieces; and though He breaks not the bruised reed, yet will He break His enemies with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. None of His foes shall bear up before the tempest of His wrath, or hide themselves from the sweeping hail of His indignation; but His beloved bloodwashed people look for His appearing with joy, and hope to abide it without fear: to them He sits as a refiner even now, and when He has tried them they shall come forth as gold. Let us search ourselves this morning and make our calling and election sure, so that the coming of the Lord may cause no dark forebodings in our mind. O for grace to cast away all hypocrisy, and to be found of Him sincere and without rebuke in the day of His appearing.

Be Ye Ready

Be ye ready for His coming is drawing neigh, all eyes shall behold Him as He appears in the sky.

He’s coming in like manner as he left before, the Bible voices warnings we can not ignore.

We are each accountable for what we say or do; the days left for sowing are actually very few.

Sowing seeds all throughout the land, just as our Heavenly Father so lovingly planned.

Sowing without worrying if they took hold, others will nurture them or so we’ve been told.

The sprouting of the seeds is God’s part to do; he’ll do the pruning and the cultivating too.

He alone can tell the wheat and tares apart, because only He can look deep within the heart.

Tis not for to us to judge to neither concur nor condemn, we are simply to sow seed before men.

Be ye ready for soon twill be harvest time, much too late for anyone to make up their mind!

Without Jesus

Without Jesus there is nothing a Christian can do, for He is the life force residing within us so true.

He is our strength our determination and our desire, it is to His expectations we should each aspire.

Jesus is the answer to every question we have to ask; He is the author and finisher of our every task.

Jesus is the reason we reach out to our fellow man, as we share with the world His Great Salvation Plan.

Jesus is the energy running through our veins, while it is His Blood washes away our sinful stains.

Jesus is our inspiration during heartfelt sorrow, making it all worth the effort for Heaven’s tomorrow.

Jesus is our peace when times get too tough; He takes away the pain along with all other negative stuff.

Jesus is our companion and our ever faithful guide; He never ever departs once invited within to reside.

Without Jesus we are but vessels of unrepented sin, awaiting Hell’s damnation our eternal suffering to begin!
