FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. We must NOT be afraid to face what is COMING and must ALWAYS keep in our hearts these words: “JESUS IS THE FOUNDATION OF MY LIFE”! “For ye are all the [CHILDREN OF GOD] by [FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS]” (Galatians 3:24).

We must be PREPARED to completely COME OUT of this world because the TIME is going to COME when the CHILDREN OF GOD will NO LONGER be a part of this world!

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches” (Revelation 3:22).

“And ALL THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH SHALL WORSHIP HIM, whose [NAMES ARE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE OF THE LAMB] slain from the foundation of the world. [IF ANY MAN HAVE AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR]” (Revelation 13:8-9).

We must be PREPARED to CONFESS that JESUS is our Lord, Savior and King.

Our Lord JESUS says: “[WHOSOEVER THEREFORE SHALL CONFESS ME BEFORE MEN, HIM WILL I CONFESS ALSO BEFORE MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN]. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 10:31-33).

We must be PREPARED to leave family for the sake of JESUS CHRIST!

Our Lord JESUS says: “He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10:37).

We must be PREPARED to DAILY keep taking up the CROSS OF JESUS!

Our Lord JESUS says: “[IF ANY MAN WILL COME AFTER ME], [LET HIM DENY HIMSELF], and [TAKE UP HIS CROSS DAILY], and [FOLLOW ME]” (Luke 9:23).

“[AND HE THAT TAKETH NOT HIS CROSS], and followeth after me, [IS NOT WORTHY OF ME]” (Matthew 10:38).

We must be PREPARED to lose EVERYTHING in this world for JESUS CHRIST!

Let us be reminded of the days before the crucifixion of our Lord JESUS when he said: “‘The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head’” (Matthew 8:19–20).

Our Lord JESUS reminds us of the things we will GAIN for losing everything for his sake, saying: “And Jesus said unto them, ‘Verily I say unto you, That [YE WHICH HAVE FOLLOWED ME], in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

[AND EVERY ONE THAT HATH FORSAKEN HOUSES, OR BRETHREN, OR SISTERS, OR FATHER, OR MOTHER, OR WIFE, OR CHILDREN, OR LANDS, FOR MY NAME’S SAKE], [SHALL RECEIVE AN HUNDREDFOLD, AND SHALL INHERIT EVERLASTING LIFE].

But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first” (Matthew 19:28-30).

We must be PREPARED to suffer persecution, be put in prison and even lose our life for the sake of JESUS CHRIST!

Our Lord JESUS says: “He that loveth his life shall lose it; and [HE THAT HATETH HIS LIFE IN THIS WORLD SHALL KEEP IT UNTO LIFE ETERNAL]. [IF ANY MAN SERVE ME, LET HIM FOLLOW ME; AND WHERE I AM, THERE SHALL ALSO MY SERVANT BE]: [IF ANY MAN SERVE ME, HIM WILL MY FATHER HONOUR]” (John 12:25-26).

“[FEAR NONE OF THOSE THINGS WHICH THOU SHALT SUFFER]: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into [PRISON, THAT YE MAY BE TRIED; AND YE SHALL HAVE TRIBULATION TEN DAYS]: [BE THOU FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH], and I will give thee a [CROWN OF LIFE]” (Revelation 2:10).

We must be PREPARED to keep the FAITH FOLLOWING JESUS to the END!

Our Lord JESUS warned, asks: “Nevertheless when the Son of man [COMETH, SHALL HE FIND FAITH] on the earth? (Luke 18:8).

We must be PREPARED ALWAYS AND READY for the COMING of our Lord JESUS!

Our Lord JESUS says: “[FOR AS THE LIGHTNING COMETH OUT OF THE EAST], and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” (Matthew 24:27).

“[WATCH] therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” (Matthew 24:42).

“[WATCH] ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness” (2 Peter 3:17).

“[TAKE YE HEED, WATCH AND PRAY]: for ye know not when the time is” (Mark 13:33).

“[WATCH] therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” (Matthew 24:42).

“And what I say unto you I say unto all, [WATCH]” (Mark 13:37).

“[THEREFORE BE YE ALSO READY]: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh” (Matthew 24:44).

“[BEHOLD, I COME AS A THIEF]. [BLESSED IS HE THAT WATCHETH], and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame” (Revelation 16:15).

“[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” (Revelation 22:16).

“He which testifieth these things saith, [SURELY I COME QUICKLY]. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Revelation 22:20-21).
