So How Do I Prepare For End Times? Isaiah 35:3-4 Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the weak knees.  Say to those with anxious heart, “Be strong, do not fear! See, your Elohim comes with vengeance, with the recompense of Elohim. He is coming to save you.” 1. Stop Blatant Sin: 1Co 6:9-10 Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the reign of Elohim? Do not be deceived. Neither those who whore, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor greedy of gain, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers shall inherit the reign of Elohim. Gal 5:1-21 And the works of the flesh are well-known, which are these: adultery , whoring, uncleanness, indecency, idolatry, drug sorcery, hatred, quarrels, jealousies, fits of rage, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, envy, murders, drunkenness, wild parties, and the like – of which I forewarn you, even as I also said before, that those who practice such as these shall not inherit the reign of Elohim. A. Drunkenness and recreational drugs. Eph 5:18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is loose behavior, but be filled with the Spirit, Isa 28:1 Woe to the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephrayim, and to the fading flower of its splendid comeliness that is on the head of the fertile valley, to those who are overcome with wine! B. Gluttony and food obsession. Pro 30:12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. C. Sarcasm, Jesting, Joking. Jas 1:26 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is worthless. D. Materialism, Covetousness, Work-A-holism . Heb 13:5 Let your way of life be without the love of money, and be satisfied with what you have. For He Himself has said, “I shall never leave you nor forsake you,” Luk 12:22-23 And He said to His taught ones, “For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you shall eat; nor about the body, what you shall put on. The life is more than the food, and the body is more than the clothing.” Luk 12:34 “For where your treasure is, there your heart shall be also. E. Sorcery, Witchcraft, Potions. Rev 22:15 “But outside are the dogs and those who enchant with drugs, and those who whore, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and all who love and do falsehood.” 2. Become Humble: Jas 4:6B Because of this He says, “Elohim resists the proud, but gives favor to the humble.” Eze 16:49-50 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good. 3. Resist the Devil Jas 4:7 So then subject yourselves to Elohim. Resist the devil and he shall flee from you. 1Jn4:2-4 By this know the Spirit of YHWH: every spirit which confesses that Yahshua Messiah has come in the flesh is from YHWH. And every spirit which does not confess that Yahshua Messiah has come in the flesh is not from YHWH; and this is the antichrist which you heard is coming, and now is already in the world. Little children, you are of YHWH and have overcome them, because He in you is greater than he in the world. 4. Persist / Overcome Our Sin: 1Jn 3:8 The one doing sin is of the devil, because the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Elohim was manifested: to destroy the works of the devil. Heb 3:13-15 But exhort yourselves each day, as long as it is being called today, that not any of you be hardened by the deceit of sin. For we have become partakers of Yahshua, if truly we hold the beginning of the assurance firm to the end; as in the saying, “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation.” Rom 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. 5. Exercise Faith: Act 26:8 “Why is it considered ‘unbelievable’ among you if Elohim raises the dead? 2Ki 6:5-6 And it came to be, as one was cutting down a tree, that the iron axe head fell into the water. And he cried out and said, “Oh my master, for it was borrowed!” And the man of Elohim said, “Where did it fall?” And he showed him the place. And he cut off a stick, and threw it in there, and made the iron float. Gen 18:14 Is any thing too hard for YHWH? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. Rom 14:23b … for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. 6. Discover and Use Talents: Heb 10:24 And let us be concerned for one another in order to stir up love and good works, 1Co 12:4-7 And there are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of services, but the same Master. And there are different kinds of workings, but it is the same Elohim who is working all in all. And to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profiting, 7. Reduce Attachment to Babylon/System: Rev 18:2-7 and he did cry in might–a great voice, saying, `Babylon the great is fallen is fallen, and she became a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird, because of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom have all the nations drunk, and the kings of the earth with her did commit whoredom, and merchants of the earth from the power of her revel were made rich. And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying, `Come forth out of her, My people, that ye may not partake with her sins, and that ye may not receive of her plagues, because her sins did follow–unto the heaven, and YHWH did remember her unrighteousness. Render to her as also she did render to you, and double to her doubles according to her works; in the cup that she did mingle mingle to her double. `As much as she did glorify herself and did revel, so much torment and sorrow give to her, because in her heart she says, I sit a queen, and a widow I am not, and sorrow I shall not see; 1Jn 2:15-16 Do not love the world nor that which is in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Because all that is in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – is not of the Father but is of the world. 8. Practice Pure Religion: Jas 1:27 Clean and undefiled religion before Elohim and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. Jas 3:17-18 But the wisdom from above is first clean, then peaceable, gentle, ready to obey, filled with compassion and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.  And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. 9. Seek Purity. Tit 2:11-13 For the saving grace of YHWH has appeared to all men, instructing us that having denied ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live discreetly and righteously and devout in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and appearance of the glory of our great Elohim and Savior Yahshua Messiah, Mat 5:8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, because they shall see Elohim. 10. Fear NOT, Be Assured of Your Salvation. 2Pe 3:13-15 But according to His promise we wait for a renewed heavens and a renewed earth in which righteousness dwells. So then, beloved ones, looking forward to this, do your utmost to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless,  and reckon the patience of our Master as deliverance, as also our beloved brother Sha’ul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him, Joh 20:31 And these have been written so that you believe (iStrong’s #4100 ina pisteuhte-you keep on believing) that Yahshua is the Messiah, the Son of Elohim, and that, believing, you might possess life in His Name. Exo 14:14 YHWH shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace. 1Jn 2:28 And now, little children, stay in Him, so that when He appears, we might have boldness and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. Luk 12:31-32  But rather seek ye the kingdom of YHWH; and all these things shall be added unto you.  Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
