Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, there are two kinds of people who will react when JESUS comes back to earth! Those people who are SURPRISED and those people who are READY! Which group will you be IN? If you are surprised when He Returns, then you were NOT ready!
AS IT IS WRITTEN IN 1Thessaloanians 5:1-11
Now as to the times and dates, Brothers and Sisters, you have no need for anything to be written to you. (God will choose when & where He Returns). For you yourselves know perfectly well that the Day of the [Return of the] Lord is coming just as a thief [comes unexpectedly and suddenly] in the night.
While they are saying, “Peace and safety [all is well and secure!]” then [in a moment unforeseen] destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains on a woman with child, and they will absolutely not escape [for there will be no way to escape the Judgment of the Lord].
But you, Believers, [all you who Believe in Christ as Savior and acknowledge Him as God’s Son] are NOT IN spiritual darkness [nor held by its power], that the Day [of Judgment] would overtake you [by surprise] like a thief; for YOU ARE ALL sons of Light and sons of Day. We DO NOT belong to the night nor to darkness.
So then let us not sleep [in spiritual indifference] as the rest [of the world does] but let us keep wide awake [alert and cautious] and let us be sober [self-controlled, calm, and wise]. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are drunk get drunk at night.
But since we [Believers] belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of Faith and Love, and as a Helmet, the HOPE and confident Assurance of our Salvation.
For God has NOT destined us to [incur His] Wrath [that is, He did NOT select us to condemn us], but to obtain (His FREE Gift of) Salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died [willingly] for us, so that whether we are awake (alive) or asleep (dead) [at Christ’s appearing], we will live together with Him [sharing Eternal Life].
Therefore, ENCOURAGE and COMFORT ONE ANOTHER and BUILD UP ONE ANOTHER, just as you are doing!
See that NO ONE repays another with evil for evil, but always SEEK that which is GOOD for one another and for ALL people. Rejoice always and delight in your Faith; be unceasing and persistent in PRAYER; in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] BE THANKFUL and continually give THANKS to God; for this is the Will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
Do not quench [subdue or be unresponsive to the working and guidance of] the [Holy] Spirit.
Do not scorn or reject gifts of prophecy or prophecies [spoken revelations as words of instruction or exhortation or warning]. But TEST ALL THINGS carefully [so you can recognize what is Good]. Hold firmly to that which is Good.
Abstain from every form of evil [withdraw and keep away from it].
Now may the God of Peace Himself Sanctify you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him and set apart for His Purpose]; and may your Spirit and Soul and Body be kept complete and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Dear ones IF these passages do not light your fire and make you want to run through a troop and leap over a wall, then your wood is wet and cannot be fired up!
We are ALLOWED and ENCOURAGED to participate in the FINISHED work of JESUS from His Cross to His Ascension where He is PRAYING for us at this moment!
Holy Spirit of TRUTH, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word in Ephesians 1:15-23
Therefore, I also, after I heard of your Faith in the Lord Jesus and your LOVE for ALL the Saints, Do Not Cease To Give Thanks For You, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give to you the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in the Knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the Hope of His Calling, what are the Riches of the Glory of His Inheritance in the Saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His Power toward us who Believe, according to the working of His Mighty Power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His Right Hand in the Heavenly places, far above ALL Principality and Power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
And He put all things under His Feet and gave Him to be Head over ALL THINGS to the CHURCH, which is His Body, the fullness of Him who fills ALL IN ALL.
HALLELUJAH!!! THANKS BE TO GOD!
