Keep watch. 2/8/15

Day 38 - Reading the New Testament in one year.
Matthew 24:1-28
The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times
Matthew 24:29-51
29 “Immediately after the distress of those days

“‘the sun will be darkened,
    and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
    and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[a]
30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[b] will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.[c] 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[d] is near, right at the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

The Day and Hour Unknown
36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[e] but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Supplied Life Devotional by Bill Freeman

February 7th  Fire life up February 

“Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.” 2 TIMOTHY 1:6 There is a life in our spirit that has power to change us. That life has become a drink to us. It has become our food. As we enjoy that life, it flows and it operates. It has the ability to tear down our hardness. It has the ability to work in us to actually change our choice, change our attitude, and change our feeling. That life in us can do a complete work on our insides, because it has passed through human living and death itself. It has resurrected and ascended all the way to the throne, and now it has been dispensed into our spirit and is living and operating and working in us. What we need to do is simply stir up what is already within us. Second Timothy 1:6-7 says, “Stir up [or, fan into flame] the gift of God which is in you…. For God has not given us a spirit off fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” Resurrection power is in your spirit. You do not know the potential that is there! All you have to do is fan into flame the gift of God which is in you. The Greek verb literally means “to fire life up,” to “fan” it. Fire up what is smoldering there. This means that you and I have a spirit that is joined to the resurrected, ascended Christ. And this resurrected, ascended One is just waiting for our spirits to be fanned. For example, when you come to a meeting of the church and you sing, pray, and praise, you are fanning. You are “firing life up.” Then that life operates. Or during the day as you are going through some kind of trial, open yourself to call “Jesus.” By speaking His name you are fanning the flame, causing that resurrection life to operate and work.
