Where will you be?

written by Latonia 2008


I have been thinking alot about the return of our Lord. I believe that He will soon come back for His bride, and I want to be ready. I want my family to be ready. I just had a thought so I wanted to share....Where will you be when our Lord comes back? Will you be in a place that you would be ashamed to meet Him? Will you be in an arguement with your kids or your husband when the trumpet sounds? Will you be reading dirty jokes, or looking at the wrong things on the internet when He decides to come back? Will you be watching a show on TV that allows the kids to disrespect the parents and they call it comedy? Will you be listening to music that takes the name of our Lord in vain, or that is degrading to women? Where will YOU be, what will YOU be doing, what will you be saying, what will you be thinking? We do not know at what moment our Lord will return.
2 Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

He tells us to live holy.
Leviticus 19:2
"Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: 'Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy

He tells us to watch and pray
Mark 13:33
Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is
Mark 14:38
Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
Luke 21:36
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

He tells us not to live like the world, to be set apart from them
1 John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1 John 2:16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

I have a burden for my loved ones. It is time to get serious with God. He sent His son to die so that we may live with Him. He cannot look upon sin because He is holy. When He comes for me, I want to be clean so that I can worship Him face to face.

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

The end is in sight
3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come

I don't want to spend my eternity in a devil's hell

Mark 9:43-45 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

43And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

44Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

45And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

Please my friends, be ready for our Lord's return. I want to see Him and I want you to see Him so that we may worship HIM together for all eternity!

Will YOU hear the trumpet?
