Prepare for Jesus Christ's Return!

Why does God allow us to go through fiery trials? Because we are being perfected and conformed into the image of His Son. Just as Jesus was tested by the devil, by religious leaders, and by the Roman governor Pilate, He overcame every situation not as God, but as a MAN. In doing so, He became the qualified King to sit on God’s throne.

In this episode of Prepare for Jesus Christ’s Return!, we learn that we too must be tested by fire to be prepared for our place in God’s kingdom. These trials are not punishments,they are opportunities to experience Christ as the meal offering, which is mingled with oil (the Spirit) and tested by fire for God’s satisfaction.

When we embrace the fire, we learn to live by Christ, not ourselves. The result? A life that is fragrant to God and prepared for the return of our King.

Topics Covered in This Episode:

• Why believers must be tested and conformed into Christ’s image (Rom. 8:29).

• The example of Jesus being tested by Satan, religion, and government (Matt. 4, John 18–19).

• How Christ overcame as a man, setting the pattern for us.

• The meal offering: a type of Christ offered without leaven, mingled with oil, and baked by fire (Leviticus 2).

• What it means to experience Christ as the meal offering tested by fire.

• How fiery trials perfect our faith and prepare us for God’s kingdom (1 Pet. 1:7, James 1:2–4).

• Pressing forward to the goal through endurance, faith, and the Spirit.

We all desire to serve the living God but how we serve Him matters deeply.

In this episode of Prepare for Jesus Christ’s Return! We are challenged to examine whether our service to God comes from our natural life with its good intentions, traditions, and personal strength or from the Spirit, cooperating with the perfect humanity of Jesus Christ.

God desires that we serve Him acceptably, in a way that is rooted in His grace, guided by the Spirit, and filled with reverence and fear. True service flows not from what we think is best, but from a life yielded to Christ in us, empowered by His life, not our own.

Topics Covered in This Episode:

• What it means to serve God in your natural man

• The difference between natural zeal and spiritual service

• God’s standard for acceptable service (Hebrews 12:28–29)
