Prepare!

As I was studying Scripture and in prayer, I started to hear in my spirit this word “Prepare.”

I then began to receive the following prophetic word and wrote it down as fast as it came.  It is an end-time warning to the church to diligently prepare itself for what is coming upon the world and especially America.

These are the days of preparation.

Wake up,

stand upright,

 prepare,

and

separate yourself

from the things which

consume your time

and

attention.

Many are stumbling

and

falling

 for they are not preparing

for what is coming.

Their ears are deaf

 to the speaking of the

Holy Spirit for when

He speaks,

few are listening.

Their eyes are blind

to the moving

of the Holy Spirit

in their midst.

They are satisfied

with what they know

but do not walk in

what they know. 

How can they prepare

 for what is coming if

they

 hear not,

 see not,

and

 do not?

How can they be the

overcomers

I have called

them to be if they

seek me with

divided hearts

and

their minds are

centered in the

 things

of the world

rather than in the

things of

heaven’s calling?

The call goes out –

prepare,

know My Word,

live in My Word,

eat My Word,

and

walk in My word.

There is no

greater preparation then

knowing and applying

My Word

 for it will

guide you,

direct you,

comfort you,

and

prepare you

for the battles

you are facing.

Do not be slack

in what I say to you

 and

speak to you through

My word

 in the days

ahead for they will be

 fierce days

which will try you

 and

 test your perseverance.

But know

that I walk with you

 in your seeking Me

and

desiring to hear

 from Me.

I will not disappoint you

for as you clothe

yourself in My Word,

I will grant the

victories

you are looking for

 in the battles you

 are facing.

Now go

for I go with you

and

will empower you

to be

My conquerors.

The flow stopped here.

Comment::

After I finished recording this prophetic word, my attention was drawn to what Apostle Peter recorded which relates to this theme of being prepared.

So

brace up your minds;

(Prepare your minds (NLT)

be sober

(circumspect, morally alert);

set your hope wholly

and

unchangeably on the grace

 (divine favor)

that is coming to you when

Jesus Christ

(the Messiah)

is revealed.

1 Peter 1:13 (AMP)

Our preparation in the spirit as well in the physical realm begins in the heart by possessing an undivided heart for Christ as well as gearing up our minds for action to witness and testify the salvation message -  Christ crucified – Christ resurrected – Christ reigns – Christ coming back to planet earth to take over and establish His one-thousand-year reign over all the nations of the earth. His return is imminent! The King of kings may arrive sooner than expected.

Jesus penned the last words He spoke in the Book of Revelation (3x):

“And behold,

I am coming quickly.

Blessed is he who heeds

the words of the prophecy of this book.”

“Behold,

I am coming quickly,

 and

 My reward is with Me,

to render to every man

 according to what he has done.

He who testifies to these things says,

 “Yes, I am coming quickly.”

 Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

We are in the last of the last days of this age and we have been warned

that hard and difficult days will come (See 2^nd Timothy chapter 3) and actually are here now and are only getting more challenging to our walk in this world.

 Get Ready.  Get prepared. Get Grounded in His Word!

 Hold on to your faith – walk in your faith – testify of your faith in

                                           Jesus!
