  1. Be Ye ready Louis G. Hulsey February 24, 2010 Casa Grande, Arizona

  2. Are You Ready? • Peter thought he was ready. • Luke 22:33-34, “And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. 34, And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.”

  3. Paul Was Ready • Acts 21:13, “Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” • Romans 1:15, “So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.”

  4. Paul Was Ready • 2 Corinthians 12:14, “Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.” • 2 Timothy 4:6, “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.”

  5. We Must Make Changes • In order to be ready there are some areas where we must make some changes: • Attitudes • Repent from sin and self-will. God will not bless, empower, or prosper us if we are walking in our own ways. • Humility. James 4:6, “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” • Faith. • Willingness to obey. The will to fight.

  6. We Must Make Changes • Abilities • Study. 2 Timothy 2:15, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” • Develop Skills: Prayer and worship, Soul-winning, Leadership

  7. Readiness • We are commanded to be ready. • Ready to Serve. Titus 3:1, “Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,” • Ready to Preach the Gospel. 2 Timothy 4:2, “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” • Ready to Defend the Gospel. 1 Peter 3:15, “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” • Ready for the Rapture. Matthew 24:44, “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.”

  8. Be Ready • Seek God for supernatural enablement, the gifts of the Spirit. • Cultivate and exercise your gifts. Constantly minister to God in praise. • Ephesians 5:19, “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;” • Colossians 3:16, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” • Prophesy to yourself or unto the Lord.
