The Day Everything Changes

The Day Everything Changes

Luke 21:34-36
34 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.
35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

We understand that we are to occupy until He comes.

Yet we are being thrust by time itself into the time of prophetic fulfillment, which will end the age.  It’s like warnings about an approaching storm.

The signs are clear.  We are racing down the information superhighway at breakneck speed without even asking, “Where are we headed?”

Yet people from every nation, race and creed are asking this question.

Environmentalists are sounding alarms about the earth (some false).

New diseases, resistant to medicine.  Trillion-dollar debt.

Wars and rumors of wars.

People working around the clock to pay bills to enjoy a life they don’t enjoy.  Increased credit-card debt.

IS THERE HOPE?  YES, The hope is in Jesus and His promise to take away those of us who believe in Him.

We are living in the days when the Holy Spirit is lighting up the prophetic scriptures and darkness is fleeing.

Matt. 24:3-7
3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.
5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

All these are happening NOW at breakneck speed.

Matt. 24:8
All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Labor pains start slow then increase in intensity as they continue, so it is with last days.

So we know spiritual deception will increase.

1 Tim. 4:1
Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,

The point is that the birth pangs are growing closer and closer together and greater and greater in intensity.  The earth is crying out.  JESUS IS COMING.

We have spiritual deception, national disruption and physical destruction.

How should we respond?   It’s not to excite us or scare us.

People will travel to prophecy conferences and study it etc. but they NEVER CHANGE.

Won’t come to church and don’t live differently.

Stop trying to get RIGHT and GET RIGHT.

What shall be the signs of Your coming?  The labor pains are a minute apart and the world is dilated to 10 but Christians want a spiritual epidural.

We MUST WAKE UP and get to work while it is YET DAY.

The TIME IS NOW, the altar is HERE and Jesus is calling YOUR NAME.

He is calling you to live differently while there is time.

If you are NOT saved or not sure if you are, He is calling your name while there is hope and time.

Yours for revival,
Pastor Francis Armstrong
