Breaking Away and Being Prepared

Chapter 4

Watching some videos on how to be prepared for the rapture, I found some very good information.
Being pure. Being pure in heart means keeping ones self free from addictions, lust, and all kinds of worldly passions. Being obedient. I'm pretty sure we've all been disobedient in our lives even as a grown up. But to be obedient means to obeying what God's Word tells us to do. As Jesus said... "Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.".  Always put Jesus first in everything. Hebrews 12:14 states "Without holiness, no one will see the Lord". When the rapture comes, many will be left behind. We have gotten to comfortable in our sins and selfishness and desires especially because of our phones. Here's an example from a parable about the 3 invited guests who were invited to a king's banquet in Luke 14:16-24. These are the 3 reasons the 3 invited guests didnt come over. "I have just bought a field" the first guest said. His property..his stuff was more important than the banquet. "My oxen" the second guest said. His job, too busy with career instead of caring about the banquet. "I just got married" said the third guest. His relationships. His wife, family, and friends matter more than the banquet. These are reasons many people will miss the banquet of Jesus. Remember Lot's wife: Don't turn back, in the last moments. She was so close to making it to the top of the mountain, escaping the penalty of Sodom and Gamorrah, until she looked back then turned into a pillar of salt. DO NOT TURN BACK IN THE LAST MOMENTS. Now to the subject on what Satan is weighing heavily on all of us right now. A spirit of self condemnation. If you condemn yourself, you doubt the grace of God in your life and doubt your sins are forgiven. A doubtful mind breeds carnal thoughts and carnal thoughts breeds sin. Carnal means bitterness/hatred against God; something the flesh pleasures for. The devil is trying to just plain overtake us with doubt in general. It's came over me before when I was 12..but now that the end times is finally here, he's been pushing that pressure of doubt strong. He's trying to make me not believe God is real anymore. Especially just because I can't see Him. But we must NEVER cheat God with doubt but only have faith. Having faith in God and Jesus pleases the Lord the most.
Heaven rejoices when people repent. Their heart is then reborn. A person with a reborn heart may enter the kingdom of God. "Therefore do not let sins rule your mortal bodies so that you obey their desires" as said in Romans 6:12. But beware. Always forgive and have a forgiving heart. If you dont forgive nor have a forgiving heart, how then will God forgive your sins? Your sins will not be forgiven by God if you do not have a forgiving heart.
