The Ride Awaits

I. The Invitation to Rest and Peace

The heart of our Savior still cries out with urgency and compassion to a weary and distracted world. In a time marked by anxiety, corruption, division, and despair, many are laboring under the weight of grief, guilt, and the relentless demands of this fallen system. Yet Christ offers a peace that is not fleeting or conditional, but eternal and flowing directly from His heart.

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28 (KJV)

In contrast to the chaos of this age, the Lord offers a quiet place of communion, healing, and restoration. It is here, in the stillness of His presence, that the humble soul can encounter the true peace of God which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).

II. The Heart of the Savior and the Weight of Delay

Today, His heart bleeds for the many who continue to reject His invitation. He is not indifferent or cold toward their condition. His love is active, personal, and sacrificial. Yet, how many delay the priority of salvation, assuming that tomorrow is guaranteed?

"(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)"
2 Corinthians 6:2 (KJV)

This generation is saturated with distractions, comforts, and counterfeit promises. Yet the Lord warns: the delay is dangerous. The days are evil (Ephesians 5:16), and time is rapidly closing.

III. The Chains that Bind and the Offer of Freedom

Spiritual chains do not always appear as shackles. They masquerade as ambition, self-reliance, pleasure, or even religious tradition. These chains deceive, confuse, and ultimately destroy those who cling to them.

"The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me... to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound."
Isaiah 61:1 (KJV)

Many are still bound, not by iron but by idolatry, pride, and the pursuit of worldly gain. The Lord sees and hears the humble, but He resists the proud (James 4:6).

IV. Modern Echoes of Ancient Warnings

We are now seeing biblical prophecy fulfilled before our eyes. Wars rage, knowledge increases, natural disasters intensify, and global systems teeter under the weight of corruption and debt. Just as in the days of Noah, people are eating, drinking, marrying, and building without any regard for the signs of the times.

"And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man."
Luke 17:26 (KJV)

In such a time, the invitation of the Lord is not just sentimental but urgent. He is calling the wise virgins to trim their lamps (Matthew 25), the watchmen to blow the trumpet (Ezekiel 33), and the lukewarm to repent before the door closes.

V. The Savior Who Knocks

The Messiah stands at the door and knocks, offering the greatest exchange: our brokenness for His wholeness, our shame for His righteousness, our condemnation for His forgiveness.

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
Revelation 3:20 (KJV)

Those who cling to the world and its deception will perish with it. But those who let go, repent, and receive Christ will be delivered into eternal life and peace.

VI. A Final Plea and the Wind of His Spirit

He is the Holy Anointed One, the Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, the Lamb who was slain and now lives forever. The invitation is personal. The call is urgent. The time is now.

"Choose you this day whom ye will serve... but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
Joshua 24:15 (KJV)

Let the Spirit wind blow through your soul. Let your heart be tender. The King is coming, and the ride is ready.

VII. A Call to Repentance

Friend, do not harden your heart today. Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God. Lay down the idols, confess your sin, and ask for a new heart.

"Cast away from you all your transgressions... and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die...?"
Ezekiel 18:31 (KJV)

Time is running out. The door is closing. But God’s mercy is still extended to you. Take hold of it.

VIII. The Gospel of Jesus Christ

All have sinned.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23 (KJV)

Sin brings death.
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 6:23 (KJV)

Jesus paid the price.
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8 (KJV)

Confess and believe.
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
Romans 10:9 (KJV)

Conclusion: 

The King is coming, and His reward is with Him. Will you be ready? Accept His invitation now. Lay down your pride. Receive His Spirit. Be found among the faithful. The ride awaits, and eternity is only a breath away.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

The Rise of the Remnant: God’s Hidden Army for the Final Hour

I. The Hidden Ones: A Remnant Refined by Fire Throughout every generation, God has preserved a remnant, those who have not bowed to the idols of their time, who walk in righteousness amid corruption, and who carry His presence with purity and power. Elijah lamented that he stood alone for God, but the Lord revealed, “I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal” (1 Kings 19:18, KJV). Today, God’s hidden ones are emerging from seasons of obscurity and crushing. They are the forerunners, raised in secret places where their faith has been tested, refined, and purified. These men and women have endured the fires of betrayal, rejection, and spiritual warfare, yet like gold tried in the furnace, they now reflect the image of the Refiner (Malachi 3:2–3). They were trained in isolation, hidden from public view, so that when they emerge, it will not be by human promotion but by divine appointment. Their confidence is not in their strength but in the...

Forged Through The Fire

I. The Intimacy of the Bridegroom and His Bride The Lord is not seeking mere admiration; He desires intimacy. Those who worship in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24) are known not just for their public declarations, but for private devotion. The Bride's heart is fully His, not content to know about Him but driven to know Him. "Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee." (Song of Solomon 1:4, KJV) Her surrender is not theoretical. It is lived out daily through obedience and the sacrifice of self. In a time when the love of many has waxed cold (Matthew 24:12), she burns brightly. II. The Fragrance of Obedient Worship The Bride's worship is not limited to melody but manifests as obedience. Her crushed will releases fragrant oil, echoing Gethsemane where Christ said,  "Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." (Luke 22:42, KJV...

The Trumpet: A Call to True Repentance

I. The Sound of the Trumpet and the Awakening of the Church Scripture declares a day is coming when the trumpet of the Lord will sound, signaling the return of Jesus Christ. “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16 (KJV) This is a prophetic certainty. Yet, as Jesus warned, many will be unprepared when that moment arrives. “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.” Matthew 25:1 (KJV) In this parable, five virgins were wise, having oil in their lamps, and five were foolish, neglecting their readiness. The oil represents the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit and an intimate relationship with Christ. When the Bridegroom came, only those prepared entered the wedding feast. This prophetic warning speaks directly to today’s Church. Many profess belief b...
