Is Jesus Coming?

I don't know about you but I have been watching the news lately. With all that is going on with Israel we all would be wise to brush up on our current events. (remember those in school?) I have really shunned away from talking about the coming of the Lord. The main reason is so many have preached about it only to die in the faith. Now I read in Hebrews 11 that Abraham died never seeing the promise...yet it didn't stop him from talking about it. In my fellowship group this morning we started talking about the coming of the Lord. One pastor shared with us that never in history has this many pieces of the prophetic coming of the Lord been in place. In fact, a prophecy preacher I follow a lot (Perry Stone) has stated for years that everything is seemingly in place. I have heard the Lord say everyday this week the word REPENT! While talking to another pastor at lunch he said, "Have you ever wondered why Jesus preached more about the kingdom than salvation?" I have never thought about that. God is about the KINGDOM of God. One of the signs of the end times concerns the church. 2 Tim. 4:1-5 teaches that in the end the church will seek out preachers that will preach good things and happy things and not sound doctrine. Sound doctrine doesn't have to be doom and gloom but it should be honest and complete. God is calling the church to repentance...I hear it loud and clear. He is calling the church to quit playing church...I have questioned so many times why is it that we have so many people going to church yet never having a fulfilled life? SIN...that's the only answer I can come up with...somewhere in their life there is sin. Now sin isn't always the gross nasty sin we think of ....the Bible says sin is knowing to do right and not doing it. My prayer today and for always is God search my heart...bring to light areas in my life that are not pleasing to you. Pray that prayer today...and watch God radically transform your life. Jesus is COMING!
