We are talking about the end times and preparing for the return of Christ. I believe Jesus is coming soon. No one knows the day or hour, but there will be signs. From now until November we’re looking at this from every angle. Stay connected, use the study helps, and don’t miss a message—this is vital for living victoriously in the days ahead.

We live from victory, not for it. Jesus wins. Concurrent with the decay of the world is the rise of the church—called to be light in the darkness and a refuge for the broken.

The most dangerous sign for the church is in 1 Timothy 4:1-2: some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons. This is a gradual drifting caused by pride—the same sin that began with Lucifer and showed up in the Garden. All doctrine of demons is a perversion of the doctrine of God. God is love (1 John 4:7-8). When we respond out of anger instead of forgiveness, we are following the wrong strategy.

A better symbol for the end of the age is a pitcher, not an ax. God is pouring out of His Spirit on all flesh (Acts 2:17). We are filled and called to let rivers of living water flow. Some will depart, but we will be agents of hope—carrying the message of healing and the living water of Jesus.

Stay grounded in humility. If the highest place I reach is at Your feet, then I’ve done it all.
