The Heart That Is Ready | Pastor Raph | Mar. 30, 2025

Are we truly ready for the return of the Lord? The Bible paints powerful images of the Church—not only as a holy nation and a spiritual house, but as a passionate Bride, a faithful servant, a mature son, and a disciplined athlete. These roles are more than metaphors—they’re divine invitations to live with purpose, preparation, and burning love for Jesus.

In this message, we explore the parable of the ten virgins, the talents, and the call to spiritual maturity. What separates the wise from the foolish? It’s not their desire, but their preparation. It’s not salvation, but intimacy. The oil represents a Spirit-filled life—a personal relationship cultivated through prayer, obedience, and love. God is calling His people to grow beyond passivity and step into the fullness of their inheritance.

As the world races toward pivotal moments like 2030 and beyond, believers must discern the times and respond in faith. This is not the hour for fear, but for fire. For longing. For readiness. Let this message stir your heart to say with the Spirit, “Come, Lord Jesus.”
