A Needful Preparation

We are living in a time where the time to prepare as God has told us is quickly running out. It is obvious by the general condition of the church that many of God’s endtime people don’t even understand the preparation for what is about to come upon His people like an over whelming surprise. “I saw that many were neglecting the preparation so needful and were looking to the time of "refreshing" and the "latter rain" to fit them to stand in the day of the Lord and to live in His sight. Oh, how many I saw in the time of trouble without a shelter! They had neglected the needful preparation; therefore they could not receive the refreshing that all must have to fit them to live in the sight of a holy God. Those who refuse to be hewed by the prophets and fail to purify their souls in obeying the whole truth, and who are willing to believe that their condition is far better than it really is, will come up to the time of the falling of the plagues, and then see that they needed to be hewed and squared for the building. But there will be no time then to do it and no Mediator to plead their cause before the Father. Before this time the awfully solemn declaration has gone forth, "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still." I saw that none could share the "refreshing" unless they obtain the victory over every besetment, over pride, selfishness, love of the world, and over every wrong word and action. We should, therefore, be drawing nearer and nearer to the Lord and be earnestly seeking that preparation necessary to enable us to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord. Let all remember that God is holy and that none but holy beings can ever dwell in His presence.” {EW 71}

Jesus is coming soon, but before that momentous event happens God’s people are going to be severely tested and those that remain and are not shaken out will be sealed, the latter rain will fall on them, they will give the loud cry and in this process there will be a time where Jesus will leave the sanctuary and we will stand before a Holy God without a mediator. Brothers and sisters there is a needful preparation to be done NOW to fit us for what is just around the corner. GET READY GET READY GET READY
