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. Matthew 24:49-51
5 But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope. Gal. 5
"I am about the business of pouring forth my spirit unto all the saints. I am going to quicken things in you so that ahead of time, you will be prepared for what will be happening. My spirit will tell you things to come. My spirit will give you things from the father. You will be able to see around the corner. For the world lives for immediate gratification. The world lives for just now. But my body needs to be living in expectancy. The hour is very late, and because it is very late there is even more reason to be prepared.
Many in the world prepare for other things. Many prepare for retirement. Some prepare for emergencies, and this is wise. But it is even more wise that you would prepare for my sudden return. It is even more wise that you would buy oil from me that you would see.
Do not store up treasures on earth where moth and rust will cause things to rust and decay, but rather, store up your treasures in heaven. Here everything will last forever. And learn to live in eager expectancy, for you do not know the hour in which I will return."
