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?

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.

    How to Build a Christ-Centered Marriage That Lasts

    What is the true foundation of a strong Christian marriage? Ecclesiastes 4:12 declares, “Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” A marriage is strongest when Jesus Christ is at its center. Marriage is more than two people building a life together. For believers, husband and wife should also share a greater purpose: pursuing Christ, growing in spiritual maturity, and preparing together for His return. As couples face the challenges of marriage, family life, and daily responsibilities, they have a choice. Will they allow those experiences to pull them away from God's purpose, or will they allow the Lord to use every situation to transform them? This episode explores how a Christ-centered marriage can become a place of spiritual growth and preparation. When both husband and wife pursue the same goal, they can encourage one another to live Christ, be transformed, and mature as firstfruits prepared for the Lord's soon return. In This Episode, You Will Learn: What it means to build a truly Christ-centered marriageWhy Jesus Christ must be the foundation of marriageThe biblical meaning of the threefold cord in Ecclesiastes 4:12Why husband and wife need to share the same spiritual goalHow couples can grow and mature together in ChristWhy preparing together for Christ’s return should be part of a Christian marriage Verses: Ezek. 44:22; 2 Cor. 6:14; Eccl 4:9-12 2026 Summer Conference - https://himmlisches-jerusalem.de/en/events/sommerkonferenz-2026 Outline: The Priestly Service – the Final Preparation for the Lord’s Return -https://thechurchinfountainvalley.org/Media/2025YearEndConf/2025YearEndConf-Outline-ENG.pdf

    To Reach the Goal, Do Not Be Unequally Yoked | 2 Corinthians 6:14 Explained

    God gives a clear warning: “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers” (2 Corinthians 6:14). But how does this instruction relate to reaching God’s ultimate goal for your life? If your desire is to mature as a firstfruit, receive the crown of righteousness, and be qualified as a king and priest in God’s coming Kingdom, then your choice of spouse matters. Marriage is a lifelong partnership, and the person you marry can either support your pursuit of God’s purpose or lead you in a different direction. A future spouse should not only share your faith but also be willing to pursue the same spiritual goal. Just as Christ desires His bride, the church, to match Him and share in His purpose, believers should carefully consider God’s purpose when choosing a marriage partner. This episode explores why spiritual compatibility is essential in marriage and how choosing the right partner can help you continue pursuing maturity, holiness, and preparation for Christ’s return. In This Episode, You Will Learn: What 2 Corinthians 6:14 means by being unequally yokedWhy spiritual compatibility matters when choosing a spouseThe importance of sharing the same spiritual goal in marriageHow marriage can affect your pursuit of Christian maturityVerses: Matt. 24:37-39; Rev. 8:7; 1 Thess. 5:3; Dan. 9:27; Ezek. 44:20-22; 2 Cor. 6:14-15; Eph. 5:25-27; Rev. 19:7-9 2026 Summer Conference - https://himmlisches-jerusalem.de/en/events/sommerkonferenz-2026 Outline: The Priestly Service – the Final Preparation for the Lord’s Return -https://thechurchinfountainvalley.org/Media/2025YearEndConf/2025YearEndConf-Outline-ENG.pdf

    Filled With the Spirit or Drunk With the World? | Ephesians 5:18

    God commands His people, “Do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18). But what are you drinking today? While wine can intoxicate the body, the things of this world can also intoxicate our hearts and minds, causing us to lose sight of God’s purpose. Education, work, career, marriage, and family are all legitimate parts of life. Yet even good things can become distractions when they take our attention away from Christ and God’s goal. Without watchfulness in the Spirit, we can become spiritually intoxicated by the world and lose our sensitivity to God’s speaking. God’s grace trains us to live differently. Titus 2:12 teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age. This episode challenges you to examine what is filling your heart and mind. Learn how to remain filled with the Spirit, live soberly, and allow God’s grace to train you for spiritual maturity and prepare you for Christ’s soon return. In This Episode, You Will Learn: What it means to be filled with the Spirit according to Ephesians 5:18 How legitimate things such as work, education, marriage, and family can become spiritual distractions How the world can intoxicate us and cause us to lose sight of God’s goal Why believers must remain watchful and Spirit-filled How God’s grace teaches us to live soberly, righteously, and godly How a Spirit-filled life prepares us for Christ’s return Verses: Ezek. 44:20-22; Eph. 5:15-18; Lev. 10:1-11; Prov. 31:4-7; 23:30-35; Rom. 13:13-14;  Phil. 24; 2 Tim. 4:10; 1:7; Titus 2:2, 6; 1 Pet. 1:13 2026 Summer Conference - https://himmlisches-jerusalem.de/en/events/sommerkonferenz-2026 Outline: The Priestly Service – the Final Preparation for the Lord’s Return -https://thechurchinfountainvalley.org/Media/2025YearEndConf/2025YearEndConf-Outline-ENG.pdf

    Temperance: A Core Quality Every Christian Leader Must Develop

    Take earnest heed to God’s warning in Ezekiel 44:20–22. Satan can use legitimate concerns, worldly responsibilities, and seemingly reasonable distractions to draw believers away from God’s purpose. When we lose our spiritual balance, go to extremes, or become intoxicated with the “wine” of this world, we can be led away from the goal of becoming qualified as kings and priests in the coming Millennial Kingdom. God calls His people to develop temperance, sobriety, and self-restraint by learning to walk by the Spirit and live Christ. Temperance is not merely outward discipline, it is the expression of Christ’s perfect humanity in our daily living. This episode reveals why temperance is essential for Christian leaders and anyone seeking spiritual maturity. Learn how to remain sober, balanced, and Spirit-led so that Christ can be expressed through you and you can fulfill God’s plan and purpose. In This Episode, You Will Learn: God’s warning to His priests in Ezekiel 44:20–22How worldly distractions can hinder your spiritual growthWhy temperance, sobriety, and self-control are essential for Christian maturityHow Satan can use legitimate concerns to distract you from God’s purposeHow to walk by the Spirit and live Christ in your daily lifeHow to remain focused on God’s plan and prepare for Christ’s coming Kingdom Verses: Ezek. 44:20-22; 2 Cor. 5:10; Rom. 14:10; 1 Cor. 9:25; 1 Tim. 3:2, 11; Titus 2:2; Luke 4:13; Eph. 5:18; Lev. 10:9; Prov. 31:4-5;  Tim. 1:7; 2 Tim. 4:10  2026 Summer Conference - https://himmlisches-jerusalem.de/en/events/sommerkonferenz-2026 Outline: The Priestly Service – the Final Preparation for the Lord’s Return -https://thechurchinfountainvalley.org/Media/2025YearEndConf/2025YearEndConf-Outline-ENG.pdf

    Temperance: A Core Quality That Must Developed to Qualify to Becoming a King

    What does it truly look like to express Christ while walking by the Spirit? One of the essential characteristics of Christ’s humanity is temperance, a life marked by self-control, moderation, and balance rather than excess or impulsiveness. True temperance is not produced by human willpower but by Christ living through you. It begins in the ordinary moments of life, in your marriage, family, relationships, and personal conduct. As Christ is expressed in your daily living, His life is also manifested at school, in the workplace, and within the church. This episode explores how practicing temperance allows believers to experience the reality of "God manifested in the flesh" (1 Timothy 3:16) and grow into the maturity God desires. Through living Christ in every area of life, you are prepared to serve as a king and priest and to reign with Him in the coming Millennial Kingdom. In This Episode, You Will Learn: What biblical temperance really means according to Christ's example Why self-control is essential for Christian maturity and leadership How to express Christ in your marriage, family, workplace, and church life How temperance prepares believers to reign with Christ in His coming Kingdom Verses: Ezek. 44:20-22; 1 Tim. 3:2-5, 16; 5:8;  2026 July 4th Conference - https://thechurchinfountainvalley.org/2026-july-4th-conf/ Outline: The Priestly Service – the Final Preparation for the Lord’s Return - https://thechurchinfountainvalley.org/Media/2025YearEndConf/2025YearEndConf-Outline-ENG.pdf

    Set Your Mind on Things Above to Hear God’s Voice

    What occupies your mind each day, the concerns of this world or the things of Christ? Scripture reveals that as members of God's holy priesthood, even our minds must be consecrated to Him. In Ezekiel 44:18, the priests were instructed to wear linen turbans, a picture of having a mind clothed and governed by God. The apostle Paul echoes this truth in Colossians 3:1–2: “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above... Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.” When your mind is set on Christ, you become sensitive to His voice and able to discern His will. This episode reveals the spiritual significance of the linen turban, what it means to put on Christ in your mind, and how setting your mind on the things above enables you to hear God's speaking and prepare for the Lord's soon return. In This Episode, You Will Learn: The spiritual meaning of the linen turban in the holy priesthood Why God wants you to set your mind on things above How renewing your mind helps you hear God's voice clearly How a heavenly mindset prepares you for Christ's soon return Verses: Dan. 2:36-45; Ezek. 44:18; Heb. 6:11-12; Matt. 5:3, 8; Heb. 2:1-3, 9; Phil. 3:12-14; Titus 2:11-12;  2026 July 4th Conference - https://thechurchinfountainvalley.org/2026-july-4th-conf/ Outline: The Priestly Service – the Final Preparation for the Lord’s Return -https://thechurchinfountainvalley.org/Media/2025YearEndConf/2025YearEndConf-Outline-ENG.pdf
