Praise the Lord everybody! Let everything that has breath praise His holy name! The Lord is in His holy Temple, praise Him. The Lord is revealing himself more and more in these Last and evil days. God is beginning to pour out His spirit upon all flesh.
I'm an okay singer, but I still love singing God's praise. I love worshiping Him. The other day I was at the "hour of power" service at my church and we were worshiping and rejoicing in the fact that Jesus was soon to come, based on the "signs of the times." As I sat there praising His coming, I heard a voice speak saying "are you really ready for my Son to come back? are you really living like He could come back at any time?" I had to stop praising and think about it.
I asked myself, "If Jesus came back right now, would I be caught up to meet Him, or would I be left behind?" When I thought about it I realized that I like many in the body of Christ, was not always living as if I really believed that God was coming back any day now. I prayed about it and sang about it but I did not always "live about it."
Matthew 24: 37-46 states 37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Jesus is coming back soon and God is warning us that if we have not been living like we truly believe that, then we better start living like we believe starting now. The signs of the times are everywhere, these are the last of the last days and God is warning His people and pouring out His spirit. When I think about it I realize there were many times I was doing some things or saying some things I would not have wanted Jesus to catch me doing or saying.
It's easy to sing songs and spit out words, but even the world knows actions speak louder than words. I want Jesus to find me doing what I've been called to do and LIVING in grateful anticipation of His return.
God bless you all, Brother Darrell, Speaking Off The Wall
