There is so much happening in the world... So fast…That I felt a fresh look at all of the current events...In light of Scriptures…Is very needed and eye-opening!...But I want us all to consider something today...What good is recognizing these events around us...And seeing how everything is unfolding as prophesied...And becoming convinced we are nearing the end of this era...If that Truth falls on unprepared and apathetic hearts?
What if I spent weeks with a fresh Airborne Unit…Giving detailed classes about WHY it looks like…They may be jumping over Ukraine very soon...And didn’t use any of that time actually sending them…Through Jump School? Would it really be of any help to them... Knowing exactly why they maybe leaving soon...If they were not trained & prepared for the battle? If they did not have the heart or courage to face the conflict yet?

I ask that everyone here... Refuse to think about...ONE SINGLE OTHER PERSON this sermon might pertain to today! THIS SERMON IS FOR YOU! YOU ALONE! Listen and apply every word to SELF!... And send it to every person you know who claims Jesus... Because we all need it desperately!...And every time you compare this message to another today...YOU...

Most of us here today...Don't truly know who we are in Jesus Christ...Therefore...We can't see and love others as He Desires...Therefore... We stay in a frenzy of stress, depression, bitterness & discontent! What He Truly Died To Give To Us: Genesis 2:25 (ESV) And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed. I want to share with you what God is doing in my own heart right now. I know that God has been working to bring me to a closer and more serious relationship with Him, as He does with all of His children. In very obvious and personal ways, He has made a number of things glaringly clear to me—some of which I want to share with you today. Question: Do you want to truly know God in a more personal and absolutely real way? Stop and truly think about this a moment. Do you think that will happen because God joins you in your life, your sins, your plans, your desires? Or do you think that will happen by becoming more like Him, thinking more like Him, acting more like Him, joining Him where He is? Because after all, He has some pretty big plans that He's working on.
One of the most asked questions by Christians is “What does God Want me to do?” “What is His Will for my life?” “How can I know if this is God, or just my desire?” This problem is compounded by the wrong teachings and worries saying that we shouldn't even expect God to speak the same way today that He did in Biblical times; because we now have the written Word and it is complete—we don't need to hear from Him anymore today. This causes some to not even to try. Then we have those who feel hearing from God is for the ‘Christian elite’—super-spiritual people, pastors, teachers, etc.—but not for average Christians. Well, here are practical and Biblical answers to those thoughts to hopefully put these this misconception out of your mind permanently: God still speaks. God did not just speak to His people in times past so He could bring them the written Word until completed, but because He was personally and intimately involved in their lives and events.
