Hebrews
9:28, “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and
unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without
sin unto salvation.”
The
Bride of Christ will be rapture ready but we will determine our
individual participation. Only those who are looking for Jesus will
see Him at the Rapture. Therefore, we must be ready, watching and
waiting. Rev. 3:3, “Remember therefore how thou hast received and
heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch,
I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I
will come upon thee.” Jesus was speaking to the Church at Sardis,
the Body of Christ at Sardis. His instruction is to be ready and
watch!
The
Scripture teaches us that the end times will be filled with chaos. In
the midst of all the turmoil, all the shaking stands the Church, the
Body of Christ. The Church is the vehicle chosen by Christ to carry
the Gospel to the world. The hope of this world is Jesus Christ as He
is manifest in and through the Body of Christ. Jesus will equip and
empower His Body to rise up in His Name and do great things even in
the midst of darkness and evil. He will preserve the Church until she
has completed her mission in the earth and then He will rapture her
away.
The
Lord Jesus will preserve the Body of Christ, His Bride through all
the unrest and destruction coming upon our world. However, Satan will
do all within his power to divert our attention away from Christ’s
mission. The efforts of the enemy must be thwarted and his
uncontrolled exercise of influence inside the churches must be
curtailed. Therefore, the Body of Christ must be joined together in
an undivided resolve to bombard heaven with prayer, seek for and
embrace the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and thrust forward in the
unbridled power of obedience in the Holy Ghost. The days ahead will
call for unprecedented allegiance to and trust in the promises of
Jesus Christ.
The
Bride of Christ will be looking for and anxiously awaiting the Bride
Groom. The Bride of Christ is made up of all believers. Therefore the
Body of Christ is composed of individual believers all over the
world. When the Rapture occurs all true believers from everywhere
will be caught away regardless of church affiliation. The Body of
Christ will be ready. The Holy Spirit will make sure of that.
The
purging prior to the appearance of the Bride Groom will ensure that
the Bride has made Herself ready. Eph. 5:25, “Husbands, love your
wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by
the word, 27That he might present it to himself a glorious church,
not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be
holy and without blemish.” Through the Word and by the Spirit, The
Bride Of Christ Will Be Rapture Ready! Are you ready and watching for
His appearing? “...unto them that look for him shall he appear the
second time...”
