If you are not ready, you had better get ready. We have to stay ready. Be ready to preach, ready to pray, ready to give a testimony, and ready to die and face the Lord at any time. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him rule over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; Matthew 24:47-49
This is exactly what is happening to the Church right now. They are saying, “My Lord is delaying His coming.” So they are smiting one another and eating and drinking with the world.
The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 24:50, 51
An Empty Lamp at Midnight then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Matthew 25:1-6
I am telling you, there is a cry in the Spirit that says, “Behold, the bridegroom cometh. Behold, the bridegroom cometh. Behold, the bridegroom cometh.” He is coming! He is coming! It does not matter what you think. It does not matter what you believe or what your theology is. He is coming! He is not waiting for you to make up your mind and say, “Okay, Lord, You can come now.”
He is coming!
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, know you not.
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. Matthew 25:7-13
Do you want to be caught with your lamp empty? If you are not going for God, you are going against Him. If you are cold in your life and can’t read your Bible, or you can’t pray, or you can’t worship God, then there is something wrong. You need the oil of the Holy Ghost to come into your life.
