Many well-known ministers are sharing the message which the Gospel has always proclaimed, that Jesus is coming again soon. And they often add that He's coming back sooner than we think. While we understand that only the Father knows the exact time of the Lord's return, we can all agree that our own measure of time is incredibly short and we have no time to waste.
So what is our job? What do we need to be focusing on? Simply put, we need to heed the call to missions. We have a directive and a mission to our neighborhood, our place of work or school, our city, our county, our state, our nation, our world. Our focus is about people's eternal destiny, their salvation and deliverance from total destruction. In a few short days, every person we know will either be rejoicing at the top of their lungs as they enter heaven and eternal glory, or gasping in horror, weeping and wailing, shuddering in terror as they experience the horrors of hell and eternal torment.
It's a huge task and one person's efforts are not enough. It will take the whole Church with each individual member bringing their supply and their time and their talents. As we seek His face, looking to know how we can redeem the time and make the most of our remaining hours, we must 1.) understand what the will of the Lord is and 2) we must be filled with the Spirit.
Brother Keith Moore, who together with his wife Phyllis, pastor Faith Life Church in Branson, Missouri and Sarasota, Florida, was a long-time RBTC Instructor at RHEMA USA. He recently shared a partner letter addressing these things. He wrote:
If your heart's desire is to fully follow and fulfill His will and plan, I encourage you to set aside time to do these three things.
Read Psalm 23 and Psalm 91 over and over, hundreds of times, in these coming months. Don't try to memorize them - that is mental, and that isn't what you want. Read, listen to, and say them over and over, until it comes out of you without thinking. Why the Psalms? We know they are anointed.
The Scripture talks about "the hour of prayer." (Acts 3:1) I want to encourage you, at least once a week, to spend an hour of uninterrupted prayer in other tongues. Why? Because the Holy Spirit will help you pray what you don't know concerning the will of God.
If you want to get filled with the Spirit, sing Psalm 146 through Psalm 150. These are songs of praise, and you will minister to the Lord by the same spirit that David ministered to Him.
The Lord will honor your desire to find and fulfill His will.

In these last hours of these last days, we believe billions of souls will be ushered into the kingdom of God before the return of our Lord. We all have a part to play and He gets all the glory.
"Now unto Him, Who by the power that is at work within us, is able to carry out His purpose, and do superabundantly far over and above all that we dare ask or think, infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes or dreams, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen" (Eph 3: 20-21 AMPC).
"He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming soon."
Amen Even so, come Lord Jesus!" (Rev. 22:20).
