Take Heed

Deon shares his cliff notes from a Sermon this morning from Pastor Jentezen Franklin [Christians have a responsibility to go out into the world and spread the gospel, do your part]

Matthew 24 v4,v6,v12

About The End Times

Jesus gives the disciples 5 essential signs:

1. Take heed (take inventory/pay attention) to yourself (don’t worry about the things that are happening around you, worry about yourself). What’s my relationship with Jesus? Is my heart after God? Don’t become sidetracked by the signs and times! But be concerned about my personal relationship with the lord! Have my own fire for the lord! 

 2. Do not be troubled by what’s going on in the world. Don’t live with a spirit of fear or trouble.

 3. Lawlessness (inequity-known violation) shall abound (even church people will pick up things in their life that will cause them to grow cold against God). And the love of many will be waxed cold (a slow fade). But do not quit. But he who endures (finish strong/willing to stand) to the end shall be saved! *The enemy wants to take many to that place of coldness! But remain red hot for the lord!!! Endure/Stand!

 4. This gospel is going to be preached into every nation [right now] and then the end will come! [This gospel is is going out into the the world: Africa, India, Russia, Asia, South America and many more nations]

 5.  Now when these things begin to happen, look up, lift up your head because your redemption draws near (the posture of the end time church must look up [we win]; the redemption of all God’s children draws near to our house/home. Read (Luke Chpt 21); Don’t be filled with worry & downcast but look up, this is the day of redemption. Keep taking heed, take personal inventory, make sure that our lives are right with the lord! Keep preaching the Gospel out into the world! Encourage others daily and often!
