Throughout the Scriptures, we can find numerous prophetic verses

in regards to the end times. And while it is VERY important to know

what the Bible says regarding the last days, we must be careful to

not forget about the here-and-now. Remember Christian, that you

have been called to serve God TODAY.

Throughout the years, there have been numerous ideas and opinions, as to when and how the last days will be. And while it's easy to gravitate to the teaching of men, we must be careful. Believer, take the time to see what GOD has to say reading the end times. Read His Word and seek revelation from His Spirit. We don't have to rely on other men, to hear from the Lord.

When Jesus first made His appearance on the earth...when He came

as a baby...many did not recognize who He was. And even later on, as He grew into an adult, people didn't realize that He was the Son of God. But how? How could they NOT know? Well, they were looking for THEIR version of a king...for THEIR version of a Messiah. And because of THEIR version...they missed Him.

God promises many blessings, to those who have put their faith and

trust in Him. He wants to lead us, provide for us and be our loving

Heavenly Father. But one of the most anticipated promises...is His

return. Now while there may be many differing opinions as to when

and how He'll arrive...one thing we know is true...we must be ready.

MANY people today who say the love Jesus. But the question is: WHAT Jesus do they REALLY love? You see, there are numerous people today who follow a made-up Jesus, one that doesn't care about sin or the condition of your soul. However the REAL Jesus of the Bible, cares deeply about your soul. So much so, that He bled and died, so that you could receive salvation.

The Scriptures warn us of the deceitfulness of Satan. We know that

He prowls around as a roaring lion...waiting to devour. And while

flesh and blood are NOT our enemies, they can be used as tools. So

whatever you hear, whatever you see, hold it up against the Word

of God. See if it lines up with what HE says. This is the ONLY way... we can avoid deception.

When we think about the anti-christ, we often think of how he'll

deceive the masses. And while that IS true, he's not the ONLY one

who brings deceit. Even today there are false teachers...or wolves in

sheep's clothing. They teach doctrine that isn't based upon the truth of God's Word! So to steer clear of their deception, we must cling to what we know is right...and that's the Bible.

It's been said before, but it's still very true...that Christians are NOT

just saved for their own benefit. They are saved for a purpose. They are SAVED...to serve God and others. As believers, we should stand for the truth, even in the face of adversity. Our faith should be ACTIVE. We're to be workers in the ministry of our Father.

Our Heavenly Father is in control. And as His children, we can

trust that He will do what's best for us. So even in the midst of a

bleak situation, we can KNOW that He has our back. The bottom line, is that we must BELIEVE what His Word says. We must trust that He will work ALL THINGS together for good, for those who love Him and are the called according to HIS purpose.

The Scriptures teach us that pride comes before destruction...and

a haughty spirit...before a fall. As believers, we're not to be proud.

We're not to boast in our accomplishments or the works of our

hands. We're not to consider ourselves BETTER than others.

Christian, we're called to be people...of humility.
