I Tell You the Truth Matthew 25 Signs of the End of the Age Part 4

Matthew 25: 1, 6, 10-13  Parable of the Ten Virgins
1-“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 
3-" The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.'
6-“At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!

8-13- The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’  “ ‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’  “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.  “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’“But he replied, ‘ I tell you the truth, I don’t know you.’  “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour."

O, Lord!  There are so many, even in the church who are not ready to meet You when You come!  They may be thinking they have all the time in the world to decide whether to become a true follower, but not now.  Some have been told of Your Gospel over and over and  want to hold onto their worldly lifestyle as long as they can thinking they can get saved just before they die and still go to Heaven.  Even sadder yet are the ones who "prayed the prayer" but never repented, serve in church etc. and think they are going into the wedding feast, but will not be allowed in because they deceived themselves and are not truly part of the Family.
      Lord, I once was one of them.  Thank You for opening my eyes to the truth.  It is ONLY by Your unspeakable grace and mercy because of Your precious blood that I am one of the "prepared".  I pray for all those who are like I was, living in my own strength in my own power and my own wisdom.  I was as lost as one can be!  I had been in church and done all the "church" things, but my heart was FAR from the Lord.
Lord, if You had come before I trusted You at age 26, I would be one of the foolish virgins.  Thank You, Lord, for opening my eyes and heart to the truth before it was too late.

IF ANYONE IS READING THIS, I WOULD BEG OF YOU TO PLEASE DO NOT WAIT TO PUT YOUR WHOLE TRUST AND FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND HIM ALONE.  DO NOT DEPEND ON THE FAITH OF YOUR FAMILY OR CHURCH OR ANY OTHER god.  YOUR FAITH AND TRUST MUST BE YOUR OWN.  YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN...YOUR SPIRIT MUST BE MADE ALIVE BY GOD, JEHOVAH, THE ONLY TRUE GOD in order to be allowed into the Wedding Feast of the Lamb.  Your invitation will be validated ONLY if your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life".
Read the book of John and Romans to learn the truth and let the God of Heaven and earth open your eyes too.
