Jesus Is Coming

Welcome to today's episode of Reflective Hour. I'm Tammy Toney-Butler, Evangelist, Author, and host of this show. But we all know who the host of this show is, and that's Christ by way of his Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of the Almighty God that lives within us to transform us, heal us, restore us, and redeem us. all through the blood shed on Calvary by our Lord Jesus Christ, who ascended to heaven after he rose from the dead to send us a helper, the Holy Spirit, who'll never leave us nor forsake us. And today I have a message for you. That message is a powerful one. It is declare victory. Jesus is coming. Jesus is coming. And I ask you this question today. Are you ready? Are you ready to receive your groom? Are you ready to receive Jesus? Are you going to be found righteous? A righteous remnant? Are you going to be found without compromise or blemish? If that trumpet sounded today, would you be ready? Would you be ready? Would any of us be ready? We have to examine ourselves and ask this question daily with a repentant heart, purging ourselves of anything of this world. Cleanse me, O God. Search my heart, O God. Help me to never compromise your truth. Be with me, Jesus, as I wait on you to come. I know victory is ours. I know that we serve you from a place of victory. I know that I'm not powerless, but powerful. because I serve you. And I know that in you I have my being. I know that in you I've crucified my flesh and have become one with you. I want you to use me, God, Jesus. I want to be used. for the kingdom of God to prepare for your arrival and get as many into the kingdom of God as possible before you come. It's your will that none shall perish. Help me to be the light in a dark world that helps to bring my brothers and sisters home. Help us to go into the kingdom of darkness and pull out our brethren and bring them back. It's time for the prodigals to come home. It's time for all those that have lost themselves through addiction to come home, to break free to be restored. It's time for all those that have experienced church hurt to come home. It's time for all those that have lost themselves in the service of others trying to earn their way to heaven to come home. It's time for you to come home to the truth. It's time for you to root in God's word. It's time for you to rise up as a faithful remnant. It's time for you to declare victory, victory over sickness, victory over addiction, victory over insomnia, victory over depression, victory over chronic fatigue, victory over rejection, victory over self-sabotage. It's time to declare victory. Victory over your finances. Victory over family conflict. It's time to declare victory. It's time to position yourself as a warrior for Christ, anointed and appointed and bold. It's time for you to step out in faith and step into all God has for you. It's time for you to believe that healing is your portion. Restoration is your portion. And everything the locust stole, the canker worm, the poma worm, they're coming back. It's time for you to rise up and step into all God has for you. It's time for you to position yourself in a place a victory. Realize your victory comes from your surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ. Obedience to his call. Letting his spirit lead you, guide you. No longer partnering up with the world, but coming out of the world and manifesting the power of the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. Binding, loosing, preventing. It's time. It's time for the glory of the Lord to be manifest in all its greatness on the earth. So that all can see. God rules and reigns. And is in charge. It does not matter. Our circumstances. Doesn't matter our circumstances. When we focus. On the truth. The true light. And our compass. Is positioned north. and we look to the heavens and we look to our Creator, we recognize that victory is ours. Abba Father, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our precious Lord Jesus, sent His only begotten Son, that whoever believeth on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. We have a God who sees, who hears, who bestows upon us so many bountiful blessings each day. But do we see them? Do we take time to walk with him in the stillness of the morning, in the cool of the garden? Do we have a relationship with Father? Do we stop to have coffee with Jesus? We must be about our father's business. But how do we know what his business is if we don't even know the father? If we've never recognized his son, nobody gets to the father but through the son. And today I invite you to know that Jesus the Jesus that restores, that redeems, that heals, that shed his blood on Calvary, fully God, fully man, came to earth, born to Mary, an unwed teenager, commoner even. He was born in a manger, a feeding trough, and became the bread of life for us all. through his blood shed on Calvary, his thirty-nine stripes, we're healed, set free from the curse, the condemnation of the law. The curse placed on us by the fall in the garden, the deception that came in through a synthetic voice. Be careful this season that you're not listening to to a voice that's not your shepherd. Be very, very careful that the shepherd is guiding you, strengthening you, protecting you. For my sheep know my voice and they follow me. What voice are you following this season? Are you following the voice of artificial intelligence, AI chatbots, Siri? Or are you following the voice through the scriptures, the Holy Word, through that quiet time in your secret place where you seek God above all else? Are you crying out? for his people? Do you have the heart of God? Do you ache for what he aches for? Do you crave what he craves? Do you want what he wants? Do you position yourself to receive all that God has for you? Do you position yourself as a royal priesthood? Do you realize that your identity in Christ Do you realize who you are the moment that you believe on Christ and you ask Him to be Lord and Savior of your life and you truly believe in your heart that He died and rose again and was the Son of God? When you truly believe that and enter into the kingdom of God and gain salvation through faith in the Lord Jesus and His work done on the cross, Nothing by your own merit. You can't earn it. It's just given to you by His grace. And you become a royal priesthood, a royal nation, brothers of Christ, daughters of Christ. When you become sons of God, daughters of God, when you become a holy nation, Are you realizing the authority that you have as a believer? The authority to speak life where there's been death? To speak truth where there's been lies? It's time to wake up. Awaken, oh sleeper. And step in to all God has for you this season. It's time to remember and declare victory and remember that Jesus is coming. He is closer to coming than ever before and we have to be ready. We have to be ready. So position yourself from a place of victory, from a place of humility, That obedient surrender, like we saw in the garden of Gethsemane through Jesus' example, nevertheless, not my will be done, but yours, O God. Nevertheless, not my will be done, but yours, O God. Nevertheless, let not my will, but yours be done, O God. Let's be a bride. that surrendered without spot or blemish and ready to celebrate the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ in all his glory, knowing that victory is ours. We've already won the battle. The work's already been done. We just have to believe it and receive it in our heart. And that's the message he has for you today. He wants you to rise up as a warrior for Christ. Be ever watchful, ever ready. Keep oil in your lamp as He's coming. He's coming. He's coming. Glory be to Jesus. Glory be to Jesus. Glory be to Jesus.
