Churches Are Not Adequately Preparing for His Imminent Return!

Today my heart began a most difficult churning of aching and sorrow as if at random. So I pressed into the Lord for the interpretation.
It’s indescribable, but like knowing that people you care about are just throwing away their lives.
And first the Lord showed me images that led me into His symbolism, to help me hone in on why I felt this horrible and heart-tearing pain. These images were an engagement ring at first and others. So I began to see that it was not an issue for someone that I know personally but rather the metaphor of the Bride of Christ.
Today is a day of grieving for the willful ignorance and negligence of Christians worldwide. The Lord says:
“Tell them to repent, for I am coming quickly, says the Lord.”
Spread the word. We are almost out of time. There is nothing more urgent than to be prepared for the surprise return of Christ, and to help others prepare through repentance from sin and prayer for salvation.
Pay no attention to those who claim that He will not shock, and surprise, and catch everyone off guard, as if we could look for the exact signs. These people are terribly foolish:
Did He not say that He would catch the wicked servant in mid-sin even though he knew that his Master Jesus Christ was coming? And didn’t this wicked servant say, “My Master delays?”
Wicked Christians will say that Christ delays His coming. That is the only interpretation we could derive from the Scriptures.
Readiness is for every day.
There is no gospel which allows for delayed readiness (i.e. delayed repentance).
This would be to take God for a fool who can be cheated out of His dues!
So repent fully of all sin.
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him,
“Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
Jesus answered and said to him,
“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me. These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.”
John 14:12-28
At the conclusion of this writing I paused to ask the Lord if He wants me to add anything before publishing. Immediately the reference Revelation 21:8 entered my mind and this is it:
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
Sinners take warning: the gospel is about repentance.
