For MenWhen the Lord Jesus comes back, will He find faith in you?

00:05Especially for men

Hello, I wrote this particular teaching especially for men. I hope you will enjoy it, my friend.

00:15Strengthen your walk, or expose where you've grown comfortable

Today we are talking about something that will either strengthen your walk or expose where you have grown comfortable.

00:24Will He find faith in you?

The Lord Jesus will come back one day. The question is simple and serious. Will He find faith in you?

00:33How you live when no one is watching

This isn't theory. This is about how you live when no one is watching, how you respond when life gets hard, and whether your faith is real or just something you talk

00:45Seven things to stay on the path

about. There are seven things I want you to keep in mind. This will help you stay on the path and finish strong. One, the Holy Spirit. Two, the Church. Three, the Bible. Four, your pastor. Five, your schedule. Six, any leash. Wife, child, or a friend. Seven, the fear of God. I will give you more about it in a second.

01:12Remember what the Lord has done

But one thing I want you to remember is what the Lord has already done

01:17Ezekiel 22:30: a man to stand in the gap

for you. In Ezekiel 22:30, the Lord looked for a man who would stand in the gap for the land. He found no one. No good leader, no faithful husband, no honest priest, no true prophet, no one.

01:30How easy it is to drift

That's a hard word. It shows how easy it is for

01:35Ezekiel 23: two sisters

people to drift. Chapter 23 goes even further. The Lord tells Ezekiel a painful story about two sisters who became unfaithful. It's a picture of what happens when people turn away from God and chase other things.

01:50We don't want to be that story

We don't want to be that story. So let's go back to those seven things.

01:571. The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is always speaking. Sometimes it's a quiet whisper. Sometimes it's a strong sense in your spirit. Sometimes he uses a circumstance or person to get your attention. Don't ignore him.

02:122. The church

Second, the church keeps you on track. When you stay connected to a local church, you are less likely to wander into the things that pull people

02:23Isolation is dangerous

away. Isolation is dangerous. Community protects.

02:273. The Bible

Three, the Bible, read every day, trains your mind to think about eternity. It changes how you handle money, relationships, decisions, and temptation. You start seeing life through God's eyes instead of the world's.

02:424. Your pastor

Four, your pastor should be someone whose life you can watch. Holiness, devotion, integrity, not perfection, but a consistent example. If you don't have a pastor or mentor like that, find one. You need someone who can speak into your

02:595. Your schedule

life. Your schedule matters. Idle time got David into trouble with Bathsheba. When you have no plan, temptation finds you. A clear schedule keeps you busy with the right things and less available for the

03:136. A leash

wrong ones. A leash. You may not like that word, but hear me. Your wife, your child, a close friend, those people can tell you when you are crossing a line. They love you enough to say, "That's not who you are." Listen

03:277. The fear of God

to them. The fear of God is the greatest safeguard. When you truly fear the Lord, you stop before you go down the wrong path. It keeps you humble and careful.

03:38Luke 18: always pray

Jesus talked about persistent prayer in Luke 18. He said, "We should always pray and not give up." Then he asked the question, "When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?" He knows we get weary. He knows life presents us. That's why he told us to stay in prayer. Not just asking for things, but stay humble, submitted, and

04:02Prayer keeps your faith alive

connected to Him. Prayer keeps your faith alive.

04:05Remember His faithfulness

Finally, remember what the Lord has done for you when you look back and see His faithfulness. Your trust grows. You stop depending on your strength and start trusting the name that is above every name, the name

04:21Will He find faith in you?

of Jesus. So I will ask you again, when the Lord Jesus comes back, will He find faith

04:29How you finish well

in you? Stay close to the Holy Spirit, my friend. Stay in the church. Stay in the Word. Stay on the Godly leadership. Guard your time. Listen to the people who love you and walk in the fear of God. That's how you finish well.

04:46Keep your faith in Jesus

I wish you well, my brother. Keep your faith in Jesus.
