God is up to something good in our lives. However, to be really ready for that thing, we must be prepared. I realize this is not catchy, hip or current but then again, aren't we a little tired of benign Christianity? Biblical is not always cool, but it is lifesaving.
In Matthew 3:1-12 John the Baptist gave 4 Steps to Spiritual Preparedness.
- Repent - Acknowledge the King of Heaven (v 2) - Acts 3:19 (NKJV)
- Be Baptized - Commit to God's Agenda (v 6) - Colossians 2:11,12 (NKJV)
- Bear Fruit - Walk with Maturity (v 8) - Hebrews 12:5-11 (Message)
- Be Filled with the Spirit (v 11) - John 20:21,22
