Waiting isn’t always easy. But that was what Jesus instructed His disciples to do in Matthew 24 — to wait and watch for the signs that would mark the second coming of Jesus. And for many years after His death, that is exactly what God’s people did. But as the wait dragged on for almost 2000 years, have God’s people tired of waiting? Or have we become distracted? Today, God’s people still await the second coming of Jesus. We watch for the signs of this great event. But due to complacency and the distractions of the world, one only wonders if we are still ready for the time that Jesus Himself had warned us about. Join us for Episode 5 of Unlocking Bible Prophecies: Digging Deeper, where Pastor Chris Holland shares insight not only on how to be watchful, but how to be ready as well. MEET THE HOST:

"In this video, we will look at one of the most #effective ways of being a #messenger for #Christ. In fact, this method goes all the way back to the prophet #Daniel and his three friends, when they were taken captive to #Babylon. As we read in Daniel, chapter 1, these young men were no ordinary captives—they were Hebrew nobility, good-looking, gifted in wisdom, possessing knowledge, and quick to understand. Instead of eating from the royal table, they requested a very simple, plant-based diet, and pure water to drink. Is temperance important? Does it really matter what we put into our bodies, and how we live? It certainly mattered for Daniel and his friends, and I believe it does for us today. For you see, following a healthy lifestyle not only strengthens our minds and bodies, but serves as a powerful witness to others. God wants everyone to be healthy—physically and emotionally, as well as spiritually! And how wonderful that in the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy, God has given clear instructions on how to live healthfully—showing us what is best to eat, to drink, how to care for our bodies, and much more. Friends, Jesus tells us in John 10:10 that He came that we might have life, and that we might have it more abundantly. He invites us to enjoy living that more abundant life through His grace and power today! " Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJnuWvMpybw
