Repent, The Kingdom Is at Hand!

by Felicia Ratledge

Lately, the Lord has been showing me how important it is to have the heart of the Father. Since Pentecost, I have been having God encounters that are indescribable. I asked the Lord what was going on and He spoke to me. He said that He was getting His bride ready. Needless to say, the Lord has been doing a deep work in me. I am an Evangelist. I come to speak what God has told me. I fear not man but the man that can destroy both body and soul.

God has been making a gracious call for us to repent and get our hearts right with Him. Scripture says He is coming for a church without spot or wrinkle. “That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or winkle, or any such thing; but that is should be holy and without blemish” (Ephesians 5:27).

Today, everyone claims to be saved and know God. If you have read the Scripture, you will see that is false. Also, beware of false prophets. God is making a call for His brides to be ready. It honestly bothers me that everyone thinks they are going to Heaven. Revelation 22:11-12 says, “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”

I am speaking to the world and the church when I say that we better examine our hearts, repent, and be converted. Matthew 10:34-36 is written in red, which means Jesus said it. “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her motherin-law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.” Christ came to be the peace maker between God and sinners. One part of a family that is opposed to Him will set themselves against those who believe in Him. The wickedness of men—not the religion of the gospel—is the cause of this hostility. It is unnecessary to say that no prophecy has been strikingly fulfilled and it will continue to be fulfilled until we all unite in obeying His commandments. Only then will His religion produce universal peace. There will be a dividing and separating of the people of Christ from the men of the world and from their principles and practices. That sword is an instrument of death and to send a sword is the same as to produce hostility and war. I continue to hear the Lord saying, ready or not. God is warning His brides to get ready. “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the church” (Revelation 3:22).
