Keeping our Eyes on the King • We must regain a deep appreciation for the Old Testament, especially the testimony of the Biblical prophets!  • We must pay attention to the political and military developments in Israel and the Middle East. • All of the nations surrounding Israel today are Muslim majority nations who share a collective hatred for both Jews and Christians – which is the spirit of antichrist. • The Scriptures emphasize the coming invasion of hostile nations surrounding Israel in the last days. • The Antichrist will most certainly emerge from a Muslim context and form military alliances to unite the Middle East in reviving the Islamic Caliphate. • The Day of the LORD describes the return of Christ and His judgment against specific nations. • We must keep our eyes fixed on Zion – God’s holy mountain – for He has claimed Jerusalem forever! • We speed the return of the King by fulfilling the Great Commission until the fullness of the Gentiles is complete.

Possessing the Mind of Christ  Truth #1 — Jesus and the Apostles warned us that spiritual deception would be the primary sign of the end times. [Matthew 24, Acts 20:28-32, 2 Timothy 4:1-5] Truth #2 — The primary weapon that cuts through the darkness of spiritual deception and reveals the truth is the Sword of the Spirit — the Word of God. [Ephesians 6:16-20, Hebrews 4:12-13] Truth #3 — Without the mind of Christ and the interpretation of the Holy Spirit, we cannot even begin to comprehend Scripture, leaving us vulnerable to false teachings. [1 Corinthians 2:10-16] Truth #4 — If our minds are to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, then we must be transformed by the daily renewal of our minds. [Romans 12:1-2] Be Doers of the Word  Make sure that you have the mind of Christ and make the commitment everyday to renew your mind with His Word!

Preparing for the Last Days — Sealed with the Holy Spirit • You will not be prepared to face these last days unless you are sealed with the Holy Spirit. [2 Corinthians 1:21-22] • God seals those who hear and believe the gospel and are born again. [John 3:1-8, Ephesians 1:13-14] • The Holy Spirit is God’s security deposit which guarantees our eternal inheritance and final redemption. [Ephesians 1:13-14] • God puts a seal of ownership upon those who have been adopted into His family — providing blessed assurance to all who belong to Christ. [Romans 8:9-17 Time of Response Have you been sealed with the Holy Spirit? Do you belong to God? Have you trusted in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior? Are you sure of your salvation? Settle this today!
