Prepare the Way of the Lord

When Jesus returns, it will be for a glorious Church.
We can ‘speed up’ His return.
Put those two truths together and it should be cause for the modern Church to be concerned!
Let’s be honest…How glorious is the Church? And if the Church is the people and not a building… How glorious is your life right now. And what does glorious look like? No condemnation intended, but let’s be honest… is glorious a word that you can honestly say describes you, your life, your faith community?

“Make ready a people prepared for the Lord”, is the cry of the Spirit.
At some point soon, both the Spirit and the bride will say “COME”.  And Heaven will thunder, “The bride has made herself ready!”.
As disciples, are we succeeding or failing in our mission to be made ready?
What are the Kingdom benefits available to me that will help make me ready?
Do I have a relationship with all 5 of the ministry gifts that are meant to equip me?
Is the truth that “makes me free” at work in my life, or am I living in dead religious dogma?
Is readiness really a big deal?
What are the Bible clues to being made ready?

Join in the adventure this coming November as together we unpack the Holy Spirit’s invitation to “be made ready”.

Glory awaits you!
Together in the Journey,

Dr. John & Linda Eckhardt – Stauron Ministries
