All Things Ready

 

Ephe 5:8 (KJS) For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

{Read Ephe 5:1-27}

I. JESUS IS COMING BACK FOR A CHURCH THAT IS READY.

  • A church without spot or wrinkle.
  • A church that is reflecting Gods glory in the world.
  • A church that is without sin.
  • A church that is living by faith.
  • A church that has knowledge of God and His Word.

 

II. EVENTS WILL HAPPEN SUDDENLY IN THE LAST DAYS.

{Read 1The 5:1-24}

1The 5:2 (KJS) For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

  • The fulfillment of Gods plan will catch some people off guard.
  • We are not to sleep spiritually, but we are to watch.
  • The coming of the Lord can not catch a person off guard who is looking for Him.
  • Did you look for Him to come today?
  • The generation that will see the coming of the Lord must grow to the place where they can see themselves being like God says they shall be.
  • The people, who have lost all hope, need to see the church as a place of hope.

 

III. GOD MAKES ALL THINGS READY.

  • When it was time for God to send Jesus the first time, He made all things ready.

Gala 4:4 (KJS) But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

  • As the time draws close for Jesus to return, God will again make all things ready.

Matt 22:4 (KJS) Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and [my] fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready: come unto the marriage.

 

IV. GOD WILL MAKE ALL THINGS READY FOR HIS HARVEST.

Matt 13:24-30 (KJS) Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

  • Jesus sowed good seed in His field, but Satan sowed seed also.
  • Satan came, and still comes at a time when the church is sleeping.
  • All of the seed that Satan has sowed has been growing along side of what God has sown.
  • The falling away from the Godly principles that this nation was founded upon, are a direct result of Satan sowing tares while the church (people) slept.
  • The tares never appeared until after the good seed brought forth fruit.
  • Both the good seed and the tares are people. Matt 13:38 (KJS) The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one];
  • Tares are people who have been influenced by what Satan has sown.
  • At the time of the harvest, God Himself will send forth His angles to remove what the enemy has sown.
  • The tares will be bound, but not burned, before the harvest.
  • When the church is able to witness without the influence of the tares, there will be the greatest move of God this world has ever seen.
  • We need to get ready for all the things that God is making ready.
