When Israel became a nation, the countdown to the end started ticking. With technology expanding at breakneck speed and nations aligning according to what the Bible has declared, we can know that the time is short. Oh Yes – This lets us know that we are getting close to the return of Christ!

After Jesus returns and takes away those that are his to be with him, darkness and chaos will overtake the earth for a season. But after a period of time, God will bring the chaos and destruction to an end by creating a new heaven and a new earth. Yes, there is coming a day when all that we know will change dramatically! We think that our nuclear bombs are powerful, but they pale compared to the day when the universe will get an extreme makeover. Look at how Peter describes it:

2 Peter 3:10-13 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. But in keeping with his promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

When I see everything going on in the world, I know that our time is short! You may ask– so how do I get ready? The single most important way for you to be prepared for what’s coming upon the earth is to focus your efforts on resting on the finished work of Jesus. Faith in God’s grace and his provision of love through Jesus Christ is the only thing that will bring true preparedness! Please understand that God wants you to experience his love and grace even more than you want it for yourself! Through Christ, God has already provided a way for you to be righteous and ready for eternity! Your job is to rest in what he has provided!

Those who believe God are those through whom God can accomplish his divine plan to reconcile the world to himself. Interestingly, when people are reconciled to God, they also get an extreme makeover! As you rest in Christ, God’s love and truth will flow through you, and the kingdom of God will advance! Setting your mind on what God has done for you will bring rest to your soul and cause you to dream His beautiful dreams for your life.

I want to make sure you understand this vital point. Setting your mind (your minute by minute thoughts) on God’s precious thoughts towards you (the word of God) is what produces faith! This simple yet most important key will step you into the life of living inside of God’s power and therefore fulfilling his will on earth.

It is time to go deeper into the extraordinary life God has for you! We are entering into the most intense and most exciting days of our existence as believers. Get ready because God wants to display his beauty and power through you before this world gets an…
