This is John Bevere, and I'm excited to have you join me on this 7 day devotional journey. Although the subject of end times is often accompanied by controversy, speculation, disagreement,0:39 it is so vital to study. The Bible is filled with beautiful prophetic wisdom and faith fortifying insights about the second coming of Christ and what will follow. The bridegroom will0:50 indeed return for his bride. Let's look at 7 aspects of what it means to be prepared for the imminent day of the Lord. Day 1, be ready1:02 by embracing God's master plan. It is wise to study the times, seasons, and prophetic vision pointing to the second coming of Christ, but it is perhaps even more helpful1:14 to consider God's overall prophetic vision, his divine master plan for us, mankind. If we view Jesus' return through the perspective of a single event rather than through the1:26 eyes of God's glorious plan, we'll lack the eager expectation that enables us to stay diligent in our obedience to the end. We are a vulnerable, easy prey for distraction,1:38 discouragement, and worst of all, deception. God drew up this master plan for his kingdom before time began. Numerous scripture passages confirm this truth, including Isaiah1:50 46 9 and 10. I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet2:02 done, saying, my counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose. Yes. God Almighty has the master plan that was formed from before2:14 time began. And in this regard, he declares, I will accomplish all my purpose. This explains why Jesus is referred to as the lamb slain from the2:26 foundation of the world, Revelation 13 8. This revealing statement tells us that God knew before he created our seen world that mankind would mess up and be in2:37 need of a redeemer. The magnitude of his love and generosity in his master plan is incomprehensible and generates great astonishment the more we understand the glory2:50 of the 1 we're talking about. This is God almighty, creator of everything seen and unseen. The depth of his power and wisdom revealed in just the visible creation3:01 causes profound wonder and awe. Even better, this glorious creator has chosen to adopt us. Yes. Yes. To bring us into his own family.3:13 We, who are less than specks in a vast universe, are the focus of his affection. And we must keep in mind, this is only the seen universe. There is an unseen3:25 realm that we can safely assume vastly trumps our seen world. The apostle Paul touched on this by writing, by him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on3:37 earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. That's Colossians 1 16. Thank you, dear Lord, that3:49 you have a master plan, 1 that includes not only creating me and saving me, but also returning to take me to heaven to live with you4:00 forever and ever. Amen.In this video 0:00 Day 1: Be Ready by Embracing God's Master Plan12.5K followers
