Preparing for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ
“Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.” (Matthew 24:12-13)
What does it mean to prepare for coming of Jesus Christ?
The three steps below will help you to prepare:
-
- The very first step is to accept Jesus Christ as your savior.
You simply pray and say this out loud:
Dear God, I’m sorry for my sins, I repent of all my sins and I ask you for forgiveness. I believe you have died on the cross for me and I believe in your resurrection. Please cleanse me with your HOLY BLOOD and create a new and clean heart in me. I take you as my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. I also ask you to send me the Holy Spirit to counsel and guide me throughout my life. In the ALMIGHTY name of Jesus. Amen(we have to say we are a sinner because all of us are sinners [1 John 1:8] )
- The next step is to go through the SANCTIFICATION by keeping your mind, heart and body pure. Jesus Christ said, “Be holy as I am holy (1 Peter 1:16).” This isn’t impossible, the way to keep holy is to repent continuously without ceasing. We are all sinners and not one single person can say he/she has no sin. (1 John 1:8) If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
- The very first step is to accept Jesus Christ as your savior.
-
- Finally, getting baptized is also important if you are able. Even Jesus Christ was baptized with water by Apostle John. The is symbolic, which means being reborn again. However, what will truly transform everyone is the SANCTIFICATION. to sanctify is to practice living a life of purity by following God’s commandments found in the New Testament. More information about sanctification is provided below and how to draw close to God. We are to be renewed in the mind, heart, body, and spirit. (Ephesians 4:23-24) And that ye put on the new man/woman, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Sanctification/transformation is nearly impossible without the love of the Lord, and the guidance from the Holy Spirit, ultimately bringing forth deliverance. When you have difficulty removing sins from your life, please remember how much Lord SUFFERED, spilling tremendous amount of HOLY blood at the Calgary/Golgotha. (1 John 4:19) We didn’t love God first, but God first loved us.
- The above three steps will lead to TRANSFORMATION of the heart, Now you are ready for the coming of the Lord and be raptured. (Hebrews 13:5) The Lord said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.”
Don't be left out in the last days by ignoring God's instructions, be ready! Keep your mind and body pure! The Lord, Jesus Cries with tears in His eyes, please live a righteous life, many are called but few will be chosen, be one of the chosen ones. Keep your eyes on Jesus Christ and remember how much he has suffered for all of us. Through His love, we can, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13).
Pray continually and repent, this way you will always be ready! While waiting for his return, do not stop living because no one knows the exact time or the date of his arrival. Nevertheless, we must stay alert and keep our minds and bodies pure, stay away from all evil thoughts and actions. Do not slumber because he will come like a thief in the night.
What does SANCTIFICATION mean?
One must be transformed into a new being by following the commandment in the New Testament found towards the back of the Holy Bible. There are two passages below, for example.
(Colossians 3:3-16) To transform into a NEW BEING!
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming. In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.
Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and rage, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
What are the steps to SANCTIFICATION? Pray to Jesus Christ NO ONE ELSE!
SHORT VERSION
(quick repentance, you can do it anywhere)
There are three examples below.
Repentance prayer 1:
Jesus Christ, please forgive me for arguing with my friend. I was self-righteous and acted arrogant. Please change my heart and help me to become humble. I know your ways are always good, so I ask you to lead and guide me in all your ways. Please convict me of all my sins, helping me to turn away from all of them.
Repentance prayer 2: (Addictions)
Jesus Christ, I’m having difficulty overcoming sexual addictions. My flesh is weak but my spirit is willing, so I ask you to strengthen me spiritually, helping me to turn away from all carnal/flesh sins. I can DO NOTHING WITHOUT YOU, but I know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, and it is by your ALMIGHTY POWER I can overcome this addiction.
Repentance prayer 3: (To break free from demons)
I command you demons to be removed from my presence, my family, and my home; in the ALMIGHTY name of Jesus Christ. I bind you and send you back to where you once came. You have no power or authority over me, I am a child of God, and I belong to Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, the King of all Kings and Lord of all hosts (angels), who has power over ALL. In the name of the ALMIGHTY Jesus, I break every bondage, including generational curses and every witchcraft, and I close every door to all demonic activities.
Always end your prayer asking for cleansing:
I ask you to purify me with your HOLY BLOOD and CLEANSE my mind, heart, body, and especially the spirit. I thank you Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit. In the ALMIGHTY name of Jesus. Amen (finished)
* Just as there is power in the name of Jesus, so does the Lord’s HOLY BLOOD.
LONG VERSION
(Find a quite place where you will not be disturbed, then pray to Jesus Christ for at least 15 min.)
Step 1:
Starting with Lord’s prayer found in (Luke 11:2-4) Father, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. Give us each day the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation, for God is the kingdom, power, and glory.
Step 2:
Always Repentance First :
If you have committed any sins, now is the time to repent, otherwise God may not hear you. Sin separates you from God! (Psalm 66:18) if I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear.
* Don’t forget to ask the Lord to PURIFY you with His HOLY BLOOD, this step is very important and vital!
Step 3:
Now that you are purified, speak with the Heavenly Father about anything. There is no proper way. Talk about problems, concerns, or just how your day went, almost as if you are talking to a friend but with reverence. You must always end your prayer with: Thank you Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit. In the ALMIGHTY name of Jesus. Amen (finished)
How to live a Christ-like life!
Putting all your effort into living a sinless life much as possible is essential if you want to be raptured, as this is how we are to prepare for the coming of the Lord. The white garment is the “PURITY” in your heart, as God sees our hearts (1 Samuel 16:7). No one is perfect except Jesus Christ. Therefore, you will sin from time to time. Of course, they will be minor; but it is important to ensure no new seeds of sins are formed. To prevent them from growing, you must quickly repent, giving it to the Lord and be cleansed and purified with his HOLY BLOOD. Also, any sins give demons a foothold.
In order to grow and strengthen in the walk with God, you must become like a child, ready to be led by the Holy Spirit. The only way to battle your sins, it is to become strong in the spirit. This is the key! Your physical body needs food for energy; however, your spiritual body needs to be filled spiritually. This is why Jesus Christ said, (John 3:5) Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of WATER and the SPIRT.
What does this mean? Isn’t water baptism enough? No, as stated above, the act is only symbolic. It is nearly impossible to change on your own. You need the POWER of the Holy Spirit to be TRANSFORMED.

If you don’t have the Holy Spirit leading, guiding, and teaching you all things, then pray to Jesus Christ with all your heart with sincerity and say, “I ask you Jesus to fill me with the Holy Spirit.” Then one day, you will hear a kind and gentle voice. When you are filled with peace, comfort, and love coming over you, this is God. If you feel uneasy, disturbed, and without peace, this is a demon. Can you tell the difference? We must be careful to know the ways of God and demons.
The demons can disguise themselves as God, as they are (John 10:10) liars who comes only to steal and kill and destroy; But Jesus Christ comes to give us life, and have it to the abundantly. *When demons are present, you are unable to find peace but always at a state of confusion. They also like to imitate God; demons are the dark force, while Jesus Christ is the light.
How do you strengthen in the spirit?
Reading the sacred words found in the Holy Bible, the New Testament; starting with the Lord’s teachings Matthews, then Mark, Luke, John, and continuing to the end, the Book of Revelation.
You may not understand the scriptures very well at first, but while you’re reading the sacred words found in the Holy Bible, something wonderful will take hold. God’s roots are being implanted inside you, longing to know God more, loving, appreciating, and coming to understand God’s goodness, his nature. Then, finally, you truly see God’s goodness, his SELFLESSNESS, continuously GIVING but never receiving anything in return for his all his children.
Then your true hunger for God (James 4:8) draws you closer to Him, while God looks down upon you, and He too draws closer to you.
This is because God does not force anyone to love him. When the feeling comes naturally, God knows the time has come. Then the Holy Spirit comes and lives inside you. Giving you much insight about everything, life, your ability to comprehend the Bible will be tremendous, including wisdom and intellect that comes from God. Your view on life will change. Then this scripture below will finally make sense!
(John 14:6)
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Reading the Holy Bible provides a gateway to the knowledge of the truth and finding salvation through Christ, the ability to remove sins that held everyone back from the very beginning of time when life once began; finding freedom in Christ, ultimately the true life, freed to enjoy living a life of joyous, happiness, and PEACE. But most of all, you have FINALLY found your identity in Christ, as your spirit is in accordance with and connected to God.
Therefore, as you can see, how important it is to read the HOLY BIBLE, the SACRED WORDS that come from God. The physical body alone does not keep the body alive, rather it is the spirit/soul. (Genesis 2:7) When God created Adam, he didn’t come to life, that is, until God blew his spirit into Adam’s nostrils. I would recommend building up a habit of spending time with the Lord, entering in the presence of the MOST HIGH, Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
It is important to read the Holy Bible daily and pray at least once every day. The more you dedicate yourself to God, reading the Bible and praying, the closer you will feel with the Lord. Your prayer will become powerful! However, if you DO NOT live a righteous life, God will not hear you. The God you serve is a Holy God, not the God of immorality. Thus, it is always important to repent first, not letting your sins pile up high; otherwise, God will not hear you, so then your effort will be futile.
(Proverbs 15:29)
The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
( Romans 3:23 )
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes
in him should not perish but have eternal life."
If you do not believe in the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, how is SALVATION or FAITH even possible?
The truth is found in the Bible!
- After the resurrection, Jesus Christ descended to heaven, witnessed by many. (Act 1:9)
- Over 500 people, including his disciples, saw the Lord after he resurrected. (1 Corinthians 15:6)
- Because he ascended to heaven, he is a living God. (1 Timothy 3:16)
- The Lord showed everyone death is not the end. (John 16:33)
- Jesus Christ came to earth in the flesh as a proof God is real, and he is a living God. (1 John 5:20)
- The only way to find salvation is through Jesus Christ, Only ONE way. (John 14:6)
- Jesus Christ promises eternal life. (1 John 5:13-15)
- By the power of the Almighty the Lord, everyone can live joyously and break the curse. (John 12:46)
- Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Heavenly God are one! (John 14:11)
- Anyone who rejects the Son of God will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven but the everlasting fire because they continue to live in sins. (John 16:8-9)
Did Jesus Christ suffer?
Yes, He suffered greatly. The Lord was whipped by what’s called a flagrum, consisted of braided leather thongs with metal balls and pieces of sharp bone woven into or intertwined with the braids. The balls added weight to the whip, causing deep bruising as the victim was struck. The pieces of bone served to cut into the flesh. As the beating continued, the resulting cuts were so severe that the skeletal muscles, underlying veins, sinews, and bowels of victims were exposed. Some people did not survive the beating because it was so severe.
As a result from enduring such agonizing torture, when he cried or sweat, blood flowed from him. He body was completely broken and wasn’t able to carry the cross, therefore Simon Peter carried it for him. Then finally, the nails were hammered into his hand and feet, afterward he was hung on the cross to further suffer. Jesus Christ knew what was going to happen to him, just like God (our heavenly Father) can see the past, the present and the future.
At one time, Jesus cried out to God because he was afraid of what was to come (Mark 14:36) And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” As you can see, when he said to “remove this cup from me,” indicate he was terrified.
Is this not the greatest love?
God loves all of us so very dearly! Please live a holy life because every time you sin, you put Jesus Christ back on the cross over and over, continually giving Lord further pain. Did He not pay a very high price for our souls? Yes, He certainly did, so you must recognize your value. The root of all evil is sin, causing much suffering for the individual. Like a curse, bad things always catch up to a person. Now you can see why so many bad things happen to people.
(1 John 5:6-12) Testimonies Concerning the Son of God, Jesus Christ!
This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree. If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son. And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
( Revelation 14:9-10 )
"If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God's wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur"
God's Warning!! Do not receive The Mark of The Beast, at all cost!
There will come a time when everyone will have to accept the mark of the beast (Anti-Christ). If you receive the mark of the beast (Anti-Christ) you will not receive the salvation and your soul will be thrown into the eternal damnation of fire. Once you receive the mark, it CANNOT be undone. Watch the video to learn more about “Mark of the Beast.”
(Revelation 13:16-17)
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.When the Anti-Christ arises, do not be fooled by his black magic tricks, he will impress many, however the children of God know the truth and should not be deceived.
(Revelation 13:13-14)
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
(Revelation 14:9-11)
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
(Revelation 16:2)
So the first angel left the Temple and poured out his bowl on the earth, and horrible, malignant sores broke out on everyone who had the “MARK OF THE BEAST” and who worshiped his statue.
(Matthew 24:13)
Endure until the end and you will be SAVED!
