Preparing for Great Tribulation
I was just asked: “What top 3 or 4 ways have you prepared for the great tribulation?”
Here is my response: Continual prayer for wisdom, discernment, & the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth & to help us discern what IS truth from what is ALMOST truth.
Continual prayer for mercy & to continually put to death the things of the flesh by the Holy Spirit to be a set apart vessel for the LORD’s service.
Continual reading & re-reading of the Bible (listening also) and asking the LORD to bring a change of mind (metanoya – repentance) when any doctrines of man that I have learned conflict with the doctrines of the Word. (Removing the planks from my own eyes before I can help others remove the specks).
“Embracing the suck” (military term) of my infirmities & disabilities that the LORD has kept as the thorn in my flesh so that I will not be puffed up in pride and instead rely more and more on His grace to strengthen me in the inner man while the outer one perishes.
