There is only one concern I know the Lord has with those who are saying they are ready when actually they are being decieved by the flesh. To love someone is to show them the truth even if it hurts. If I say nothing and knew exactly what was going on and told no one about it there blood would be on my hands. Many Christians right now say they are ready for Jesus return. But are they really? When looking to the sky for Jesus return are we looking through the eyes of the spirit or through the eyes of the flesh? We all know that the flesh man are old aged body is in need of redemption right? So would it not make since if we are seeing through the perception of the eyes of the flesh or are dwelling in its thoughts that are perception is going to be faultered since the flesh is full of corruption and sin? Now if we are yielding to the new man where the Holy Spirit dwells we will begin to see things alone from the viewpoint through Gods perception in all things and wont wonder what is going on or about to happen for he will alone speak to are spirit man rather than our thoughts and the flesh that are full of sin and corruption.
As the shaking continues to occur in the spirit to then be manifested into the physical realm will we be found building on the solid rock within Jesus in our spirit man that will not be shaken or will we be found building on the ever sinking sand that is in the mind,flesh and all its thoughts that will be blown away by the shaking?
My concern is this if we alone with are soul that is in between the flesh and the spirit are letting the soul choose to yield alone to the flesh and its thoughts how then can we say we are ready. Are we really ready then if we are in the flesh looking through its perception? We will only be ready by taking the narrow path Jesus alone has laid out before us and we do that by yielding alone to your spirit man where the Holy Spirit dwells were there is no sin, so there will be clarity when looking through Gods perception from there. If you all are doing this by yielding alone to the spirit as your soul chooses to follow the one that is stronger and hopefully it is your spirit rather than the flesh then amen you are ready for you are seeing things alone through Gods perspective as you are abiding in him from with your spirit.

lol. I know that.
But how do you define being ready for Jesus' return?
How do you know you're ready?
