(Is the Church Ready To Be Raptured?)

Some would say without hesitating, no it is not ready, just look at the shape it’s in! There’s a little group over here and a larger group over there; some dislike this group but love the other group and it goes on and on. But do know what? If you are a mature believer and trust in the sovereignty of God, your answer should be a firm yes, the Church is ready. Oh, it is not ready because of what its members have accomplished or that there is a revival in such and such a place. It is ready because God is in control and He alone knows who is in the Church and when the Church will ready to be raptured!

Jesus said “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:37. He also said: “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18. The Lord is in control and although there may be differences of opinion of what will transpire after the rapture of the Church, one thing remains absolutely certain: “I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14:3 AMEN???
