Prepare for Jesus Christ's Return!

The Voice in the Wilderness - Is your pastor telling you the truth?

How do you prepare for Jesus Christ’s second coming? The Internet is buzzing with podcasts and videos regarding the signs of the times, but no one is talking about how to prepare. Why? It’s because most Christians are taught that once you receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, you and the entire church will be raptured before the coming of the great day of God’s wrath. So why prepare? But that is far from the truth! Find out what the Bible actually says on what you must do to prepare for His soon return. We challenge you to be like a Berean (Acts 17:10-11), with the Holy Anointing (1 Jn. 2:27).

    What Is True Consecration? The Biblical Meaning Explained

    When the Lord’s love touches your heart, it’s natural to respond, “Lord, I consecrate my life to You.” But what happens next? Many believers try to serve God with their own energy, zeal, and determination, only to find that the fire fades after a short time. In the original Hebrew, the word “consecration” means “to fill” or “to be filled.” God’s desire is not first for you to do many things for Him. His desire is that you would first be filled with Christ. From that filling comes true service, lasting growth, and holy conduct. This episode uncovers the real meaning of consecration—not self-effort, but being filled, trained, and transformed by Christ so that you may live in godliness and do His will. In This Episode, You Will Learn: The biblical meaning of consecration in the Old Testament Why self-driven zeal often fades quickly How being filled with Christ produces lasting service The difference between doing for God and being filled by God How consecration leads to holy conduct and godliness Verses: Lev. 8, 2 Pet. 3:11; Luke 7:37-39; 1 Tim. 1:13, 16; Matt. 5:3; 2 Cor. 5:14-15 Outline: The Priestly Service – the Final Preparation for the Lord’s Return -https://thechurchinfountainvalley.org/Media/2025YearEndConf/2025YearEndConf-Outline-ENG.pdf 2025 Year End Conf - North America - https://thechurchinfountainvalley.org/2025-year-end-conf/ 2025 Winter Conf - Europe -  ⁠https://himmlisches-jerusalem.de/posts/winterkonferenz-2025

  2. Why Do You Need to Be Holy?

    Why Do You Need to Be Holy?

    Scripture makes it clear that anyone who desires to approach God must be holy. But what is the true expression of holiness? Holiness is not merely outward behavior, it is a life that walks by the Spirit. When you live by the Spirit, there is peace, and God’s victory is manifested as Satan is crushed under your feet. As we learn to live Christ, we are sanctified and made holy. This sanctification produces inward peace and outward victory over God’s enemy. Holiness, therefore, is not optional, it is preparation to be qualified as kings and priests, ready to reign with Christ in the coming Kingdom age. This episode reveals why holiness is essential, how it is expressed in daily living, and how it prepares you for reigning with Christ. In This Episode, You Will Learn: Why holiness is required to approach God How walking by the Spirit expresses true holiness How living Christ leads to sanctification Why holiness qualifies believers to be kings and priests Verses: John 17:17; 14:26; Heb. 12:14; 1 Thess. 5:23; Rom. 16:20; Heb. 12:15; 2 Pet. 3:11; Ps. 110:3; Rev. 19:7-8, 14; 1 Tim. 2:8; Rev. 12:11 Outline: The Priestly Service – the Final Preparation for the Lord’s Return -https://thechurchinfountainvalley.org/Media/2025YearEndConf/2025YearEndConf-Outline-ENG.pdf 2025 Year End Conf - North America - https://thechurchinfountainvalley.org/2025-year-end-conf/ 2025 Winter Conf - Europe -  ⁠https://himmlisches-jerusalem.de/posts/winterkonferenz-2025

  3. To Be Holy - Active or Passive?

    To Be Holy - Active or Passive?

    Scripture declares, “Those who are in the flesh cannot please God” (Romans 8:8). This raises a vital question for every believer: Do you live in the flesh, or do you live in Christ each day of your life? While our natural tendency is to live according to the flesh, God has given us His eternal life so that we may learn to walk by the Spirit and live Christ continually. The apostles consistently exhort believers to be active in their pursuit of God: pursue holiness, perfect holiness, exercise unto godliness, train to live righteously and godly, and do not love the world. Holiness is not passive, it requires intentional cooperation with the Spirit. This episode challenges you to move from passive belief to active spiritual living, learning to live Christ daily so that your life becomes well-pleasing to God. In This Episode, You Will Learn: Why living in the flesh cannot please God The difference between passive belief and active pursuit How to walk by the Spirit to live Christ daily Why Scripture calls believers to train and exercise spiritually How active holiness leads to a life well-pleasing to God Verses: Is. 5:20a; 2 Thess. 2:10-12; Dan. 9:27; Rom. 8:8; 1 Thess. 4:3, 8; 2 Pet. 3:11; 1 Pet. 1:16; 2 Pet. 1:3-12; Is. 6:6-8; Rev. 4:8; 2 Pet. 1:21; Eph. 4:22-24; Philm. 24; 2 Tim. 4:10  Outline: The Priestly Service – the Final Preparation for the Lord’s Return -https://thechurchinfountainvalley.org/Media/2025YearEndConf/2025YearEndConf-Outline-ENG.pdf 2025 Year End Conf - North America - https://thechurchinfountainvalley.org/2025-year-end-conf/ 2025 Winter Conf - Europe -  ⁠https://himmlisches-jerusalem.de/posts/winterkonferenz-2025

    Pursue Holiness by Living Christ: God’s Way to True Holiness

    Holiness is the essential qualification for believers who are called to be kings and priests in the coming Kingdom age. The apostle Peter exhorts us: “As He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct… ‘Be holy, for I am holy’” (1 Peter 1:15–16). But how can a believer truly live a holy life? The answer is simple yet profound, only by living Christ. The apostle Paul declared, “For to me, to live is Christ” (Philippians 1:21a). Holiness is not achieved by self-effort, but by daily practice, training, and exercising of our spirit to live Christ in every situation. Through this continual exercise, we are inwardly transformed, and holiness becomes our living expression. This episode reveals the practical way to pursue holiness and reach the goal of a life marked by holy conduct and godliness, as described in 2 Peter 3:11. In This Episode, You Will Learn: Why holiness is essential to qualify as kings and priests What it truly means to live Christ daily How holiness comes through spiritual practice, not self-effort Why exercising your spirit is key to transformation How holy conduct prepares you for Christ’s return and Kingdom Verses: Is. 5:20a; 2 Thess. 2:10-12; Dan. 9:27; Ps. 72:2; Matt. 8:11-12; Phil. 3:11; 4:10-13; Titus 2:11-14; Phil. 1:21; Heb. 12:14; 2 Pet. 3:11; 2 Cor. 7:1; 1 Thess. 4:3-4; Eph. 5:3-6; 1 John 2:16; Rom. 8:8; 1 Thess. 3:13; 5:24, 26-28 2025 Year End Conf - North America - https://thechurchinfountainvalley.org/2025-year-end-conf/ 2025 Winter Conf - Europe -  ⁠https://himmlisches-jerusalem.de/posts/winterkonferenz-2025

  5. Are You Compelled to Prepare for Christ’s Return by Fear or by Love?

    JAN 13

    Are You Compelled to Prepare for Christ’s Return by Fear or by Love?

    Paul wrote: “For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again” (2 Corinthians 5:14–15). When believers appear before the judgment seat of Christ, they will be judged with His perfect righteousness. But even now, God’s discipline and chastening are expressions of His love, designed to help us grow and mature as future kings and priests. This episode challenges you to examine your motivation: Are you preparing for Christ’s return out of fear, obligation, or are you compelled by His love to give your whole heart? Discover how embracing God’s love transforms preparation into a joyful, life-changing pursuit.  In This Episode, You Will Learn: The difference between being motivated by fear versus love How God’s discipline today reflects His love and desire for growth Why preparation for Christ’s return is tied to spiritual maturity How to respond to God’s love with wholehearted obedience Verses: 2 Cor. 5:9-11, 14-15, 8; Phil. 1:23; John 3:16; Matt. 24:11-13; 2 Pet. 3:11-12; Eph. 6:24; Rev. 2:4; Mal. 1:13; Rev. 19:7; 2 Cor. 12:31; Rev. 14:4 2025 Year End Conf - North America - https://thechurchinfountainvalley.org/2025-year-end-conf/ 2025 Winter Conf - Europe -  ⁠https://himmlisches-jerusalem.de/posts/winterkonferenz-2025
