GOD'S JUDGEMENT

The rejection of God's Word, and persecution of His Faithfuls, who are testifying of His goodness to all, invites His wrath and judgment upon the vessels of darkness and agents of wickedness, whose major desire is to hinder the advancement of God's Kingdom across the globe. This is certain: though it may take until the end of the age, so that the persecutors may realize where they have fallen, and have time to repent before the days of desolation; still, God will never fail to fight for the Righteous.

Moreover, now is the period of repentance, from hellfire to Grace; because the time of complete desolation is near, it's time for total submission to our Christ's Calling, so that the purpose of our existence, as ambassadors of Christ, may be fulfilled, for the Salvation of souls in Christ Jesus.

PRAYER: LORD Jesus, thank you for accepting us as your own; graced to proclaim the Good News of Salvation, for the redemption of souls, even as we remain free from Your wrath and judgment, as Your beloved Sons and Daughters,

Amen.

From Luke 21:20-22

CHRIST'S SAKE

Having been called by Christ to proclaim the Good News of Salvation to all, for the advancement of God's Kingdom, the devil will ever remain restless - knowing fully well that his time is short. So, he influences the Sons of men, who are far away from God, to serve as vessels for destruction, challenging the spread of the Gospel and persecuting Christians, without understanding why.

Although he may go as far as sowing seeds of deception and betrayal in the hearts of our loved ones, neighbors, and friends, making them murderous towards us, it's all for the sake of Christ, who has gone through this before us, declare His Father's Love, for the redemption of souls who will believe.

There were many times He avoided being harmed and His friends also came out of the grave. As we remain steadfast, holding onto Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith, we will forever remain triumphantly victorious, because; He who is in us, is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4)!

 PRAYER: In Jesus' name, thank you Heavenly Father, for giving me an enduring heart, and a devoted Spirit, even as I proclaim the Gospel, overcoming the manipulations of the wicked, by Your Holy Spirit;

Amen.

 From Luke 21:16-18

IRRESISTIBLE WISDOM

The Wisdom of the Holy Spirit is our long-awaited Grace, given by He who is Faithful, to us as Sons and Daughters of God; our adversary can't resist, nor contradict, since we speak by the authority of Christ in us. So, we need not be defensive, premeditating on what to say or do when we are brought before a Judge, nor any persecuting counsel; for the battle is of the LORD, and every word that comes from our mouth - in defense of our faith and Christ's Calling, has been divinely given by our Heavenly Father, who speaks through us by the manifestation of the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, let's remain courageously strong, having no fear nor feeling distressed, for the LORD our God is ever with us, protecting us from every manipulative effort of the wicked, standing against the purpose of our existence as chosen vessels, ordained to advance God's Kingdom (Joshua 1:9).

PRAYER: Lord, Jesus Christ, thank You for the Divine Wisdom of the Holy Spirit You've bestowed upon Your Children, which gives us the boldness to stand before men to proclaim the Good News of God's Salvation, even as we remain vindicated by Your Divine authority in us,

Amen.

From Luke 21:14-15

BEFORE THE END

As the end of all things under the Heavens displaying awesome signs, draws near, the Church - the body of Christ, is falsely accused, persecuted, and imprisoned, with the intention of stopping the proclamation of the Gospel, by the workers of wickedness who try to hinder the advancement of God's Kingdom. Even so, these are stepping stones to greater glory - leading to testimonies of Divine breakthroughs, as victorious vessels of the Holy Spirit. Those who truly know Jesus, visit the Brethren in prison and provide through fabricated famines, to the least of these.

So, let's not relent in our faithfulness to the LORD, even in these trying times; for, as Overcomers, we will be fed healing leaves in God's Kingdom, secure on His unshakeable foundation, being Heirs of our Heavenly Father, forever (Revelation 22 & 3:21).

PRAYER: Thank you LORD, Eternal Father, for the revelation of your Word, who gives us strength in tribulation, that we may remain triumphantly victorious, as Sons and Daughters of God, in Christ Jesus,

Amen.

From Luke 21:11-13

BEGINNING OF THE END

We have heard rumors of wars, and in some cases experience the commotion of nations rising against nations with rebellion and kingdoms falling; Kings exercising their authority to oppress others for the sake of a false sense of power. This is a sign of only the beginning of the end, and not the end of the birth pangs, yet for all people these are destined to take place, before the rapture of the saints, and the end of the age.

Moreover, experiencing these series of events shouldn't be a cause of worries; rather, we should remain hopeful in the LORD, confident in His Divine grace and protection, and we will surely overcome as victorious vessels of God, worthy of His glorious Kingdom.

PRAYER: Thank you in Christ Jesus, Heavenly Father, for your Divine grace and protection, which keep me safe from harm, even in these trying times, that I may remain an Overcomer, proclaiming the Gospel of Salvation in Jesus,

Amen.

From Luke 21:9-10

FALSE CHRISTS

As Watchmen waiting for the second coming of Christ, we shouldn't lose focus on Christ's Calling and the purpose of our existence, as Brides waiting for the glorious coming of the Bridegroom. Yet, we should be cautious of false teachers and deceitful prophets, claiming to be the Messiah. These liars would distract one's attention from Jesus Christ: the Truth and True to His Word, the everlasting Life, and the Way, who leads to Salvation.

Moreover, we should always remain spiritually cautious, and not just believe everyone claiming to be vessels of God. Rather, we should endeavor to test the spirit in them, through the knowledge of God's Word, inspired by the Holy Spirit, that we may not be deceived by any false anointing nor deceitful teaching.

PRAYER: Dear Eternal LORD, thank you for the Divine knowledge of your Word, which gives Light to the world - revealing the Truth so that we, Your chosen people, may not be deceived by the forces of darkness, yet remain on the path of Righteousness, in Christ Jesus,

Amen.

From Luke 21:8

ADMIRING HUMAN STRUCTURES

Every structure possessed or adored by men on the surface of the Earth, only exists for a little while, as a result of the influence of sin - turning away from an awesome God, to take pride in our own accomplishments which are like fig leaves before lamb's-skin, or the partially-built tower of Babel, which will never succeed to reach the sky (Micah 3:10-12).

Furthermore, the admiration of a Temple used for God's glory, without showing respect for His presence seeking entrance into every heart we disciple, makes every stone of an altar prone to destruction; for, "faith without works is dead" (James 2:26). So, let's not simply admire physical and material structures in shrines, nor idly enter into sanctuaries to be entertained, or garnish change, without being changed; rather (Eph 4:6-13), we should actively engage ourselves as the Church, some in the proclamation of the Gospel, some prophesying the Word, some shepherding with the flock - that we may Divinely remain as His Holy Temple, consecrated to advance God's Kingdom, even as we are refined in the House of Worship, to offer a living sacrifice of praise to our Heavenly Father.

PRAYER: In Jesus' name, LORD, I give you all the glory, honor, and adoration, for giving us your only Son, and making me a Temple of your glorious presence - revealing the Light of your Word to all, for the Salvation of souls,

Amen.

From Luke 21:5-6
