God wants you to know the things going on in our nation and throughout the world right now are a ploy—a distraction from the enemy to keep your eyes off of Jesus.

The enemy’s ploy is that you would get so involved in what is going on — that you miss Jesus. Jesus is about to return and many cannot see that He is because they are not paying attention to Him.

Jesus said —if we don’t watch and pray His return will be like a thief in the night, meaning we won't be expecting Him. If we are not expecting Him, we won't be ready.

—Matthew 24:37 As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.38 For just as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, [men] marrying and [women] being given in marriage, until the [very] day when Noah went into the ark,39 And they did not know or understand until the flood came and swept them all away—so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 At that time two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken and one will be left. 42 Watch therefore [give strict attention, be cautious and active], for you do not know in what kind of a day [whether a near or remote one] your Lord is coming. AMPC

Jesus said to watch and pray—praying is simply talking with Jesus. If you don't have time to talk to Jesus you won't know what is going on with Him. You won't know the season you are in and you won't know to be on your knees asking Him what you need to do to be ready.

Most think they are ready for heaven and it will be a whiz, but Jesus said many who call Him Lord will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, only those who do the will of the Father.

Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name? 23 And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].

What Jesus is saying is you might think you’re going to heaven, you might even call Him Lord and do good works for Him, but, if you don’t do the will of the Father (obey Him) He will tell you He didn’t know you. Why? Because you and He are not in agreement if you don't obey Him. If you are not in agreement with Him you don't know Him, nor does He pay attention to you (Matthew 7:21-23).

If you are not watching and praying, that alone excludes you from doing His will. If you haven't heard Him tell you things to come (John 16:13) you’re in trouble! If you don’t obey Him, all of His Word —you are not doing His will.

If you are talking to Jesus, you will know you have a part in preparing for His return. As well, you will know your assignment and that your assignment is vital —and part of doing His will. Thus, if you don't know and you are not doing your assignment —you are not watching and praying (you are not talking to Jesus or doing His will).

The season we are in is one we need to give Jesus our full attention, know Him and do the Father’s will. Submit to Him and resist the enemy (James 4:7). Resist the distractions set up as a trap for us (Mark 4:10-19).

—No we don't know the very day or the hour, but we should know the season (Matthew 24:33)!  

—1 Thessalonians 5:3 But you are not in [given up to the power of] darkness, brethren, for that day to overtake you by surprise like a thief. 5 For you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we do not belong either to the night or to darkness. 6 Accordingly then, let us not sleep, as the rest do, but let us keep wide awake (alert, watchful, cautious, and on our guard) and let us be sober (calm, collected, and circumspect).

Don’t assume you are good —ask Him! Then when Jesus tells you what you need to do to be ready, ask Him to help you to do it. You can’t do anything without Him (John 15:5)!

—God has given me this assignment to help Him prepare for His return. Take Him seriously, it is not His plan that you should perish! 

—I believe in you <3
