The world has never been faced with so many monumental decisions from presidential elections to propping up the world’s economy, one wonders how to pray. Never has the world been so plagued with one natural disaster after another causing a great strain on the world’s economy and the survivability of its citizens, one wonders how to pray. As the war drums beat louder from madmen of the East promising death and destruction to Israel and America, one wonders how to pray. Finally, as all manner of wickedness seems to go unabated and the streets are filled anarchists, one wonders how to pray. Now take a half an hour and get your thoughts together and after you get them together… toss them out because they will be of no use to you. Start by getting in the Spirit, the Muslim can’t do it, the Hindu can’t do it, the unbeliever can’t do it, but you can, because without it you are wasting your time. And to be truly in the Spirit means to reject your independence and learn total dependence upon God. God is not interested in your ideals, your solutions, or your agenda to bring change to a besieged world. On the other hand, He is interested in your total submission to His will.

Now that you are in the Spirit, you can close the door to your closet. You will be conducting business between you and God alone. “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed by thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:9-10). The veil has been lifted and you see the world the way God sees it. All the nationalistic boundaries are erased, all cultures eradicated, all political and social barriers are removed, and all racial differences eliminated. So what else does God see when He looks in the earth? He sees His faithful remnant in every part of the world and sees the pagan hordes encamped against them.  In shock, we have a new way of thinking! We no longer support one country against another. We no longer support one politician against another. We no longer highly esteem one culture or race over another. Conversely we support every Christian in prayer over the pagan encamped against him. We acknowledge that Satan is leading the pagan around by the nose to do his will and our prayers finally begin to take shape.

We pray, Holy Father remove the blind fold from the pagan hordes so that they see your magnificent love flowing though us to our brethren in every part of the world. We pray let us boldly proclaim to the pagan hordes that your judgment is raining down from heaven with hopes that they might see their pitiful condition and repent. Let us also pray for our brothers and sisters around the world that they will die to self and walk in the Spirit at all times and in every situation. Let them not be overcome by the many trials and tribulations in the world, but allow it to awaken the spirit within them to come and walk closer to You, Oh, Lord. As Christians join hands from around the world and allow God’s Holy Spirit to lead them in prayer it will have a profound effect upon the world in which we live. As we fast approach the end of days, use this time in effectual prayer to bring about real change in a beleaguered world, augmenting the polarization between the only two groups that exists. Amen

Today is filled with news about a world that in many respects seems to be coming apart by the seams with unexplained phenomena, a pending economic collapse, war drums beating to announce a world war, and nature being turned upside down. There are reports of large expanding sink holes, active volcanoes, birds falling from the air, fish washing upon beaches, and recent reports of wild hogs terrorizing Islamabad, Pakistan. We have also seen freak snow storms, freezing weather and rivers and lakes turning red like blood. And if that were not enough most are captivated by the upcoming election in America, slated to be the most important election ever in the history of a nation, perhaps the world. As we all hold our breath is anyone asking: are you prepared to face eternity? The Bible asks such a question. In lieu of everything happening remember that the world over two millennia ago has been prophesized to fulfill its destiny of destruction and renewal. Christians are called to prepare then and now to face their eternity through preparation, watchfulness, and expediency.

All the biblical prophets agreed with the Apostle Peter who said, “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief” (II Peter 3:10a). Indeed, the day of the Lord will happen in the twinkling of an eye. But what will happen? “The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth will be laid bare” (II Peter 3:10b).  There will be no more sky but just the open vastness of space as the atmosphere is siphoned off or instantly burnt up.  And in another place it says, the sky is rolled up like a scroll. These elements destroyed by fire are the heavenly bodies such as the sun, the moon, and the stars. Clearly other biblical prophets indicated that the heavenly bodies would be shaken as the stars fall from the heavens. Then immediately the earth and everything in it will be laid bare; and in another place it says, every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. It is essential to understand that this all happens together instantly in a nanosecond after Christ returns in the clouds for His faithful Bride the Church.  So the Bible asks, “Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? (Then it answers the question) You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming” (II Peter 3:12a).

So the answer to our question: are you prepared to face eternity, is to respond to His Word, that says we should live holy lives, which means we should live separated lives unto Christ Jesus our Lord. We must come out from the world and focus all of our attention on the risen Christ and the heavenly kingdom that awaits us in the new heavens and the new earth. We should live godly lives allowing His Spirit to transform us into the perfect image of His Son, Jesus Christ, walking in all manner of righteousness. The Bible continues, “So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with God” (II Peter 3:14). If we make every effort to get rid of that hidden sin that’s so easily entangles making ourselves spotless and removing the blame that others have cast upon us, then we will experience the peace of God, as we wait in eagerness for His glorious return.  But that’s not all, in so doing we can actually speed His coming – the day of the Lord. Are you ready to face eternity?

This is a short one minute promo video for my book Final Warning.

When you watch the news, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear disasters, and the Middle East turmoil, do you not ask yourself are these the end times?  The Great Tribulation is a time when God’s wrath is poured out on an evil world as His final judgment against sin, His irrevocable condemnation of impenitent sinners. On the other hand true believers who remain faithful to Christ and obedient to His commands will be shielded from God’s wrath and given grace to endure the Great Tribulation.

This Part II demonstrates that the Church has already begun to enter the Great Tribulation. This is a powerful and moving video that will awaken the spirit in every Christian who wants to know the truth and to be prepared for what lies ahead
