You are warned! A vicious storm is descending on the Atlantic Coast of America. More than 1 million souls are under a mandatory evacuation. We have an entire country believing a warning of a temporary physical storm yet ignoring an imminent eternal spiritual storm.

One day the Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus to test him – asking for a sign from heaven. Jesus’ reply was: “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times” (Matthew 16:1-3).

A storm, much more powerful than anything this world has ever imagined, is coming. When it arrives every molecule in the universe will be burned up and dissolved (2 Peter 3:10).  So, test yourself to see if Christ is living in you. If an accusation against you has already been established by 2 or 3 witnesses – you are doomed, unless you repent (*2 Peter 3:9; **2 Cor.13:1-5).

Friend, here is your test: If Christ is living in you then evil isn’t because you are heeding the voice of the Spirit. Don’t wait for the hurricane … we are all just a breath away from a fixed eternal state.

*2 Peter 3:9 (ESV) — 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

**2 Corinthians 13:1–5 (ESV) — 1 This is the third time I am coming to you. Every charge must be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 2 I warned those who sinned before and all the others, and I warn them now while absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come again I will not spare them— 3 since you seek proof that Christ is speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you. 4 For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God. 5 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!
