“Suddenly Running!” & Walking Victoriously!Dr. Joseph Ozawa
SUDDENLY“suddenly…I acted” Is 48:3
"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away.”
(Mt 24:36-39)
As we enter the
End Times,
be alert & pray!
"Morning is coming, but also the night.” Isa 21:12

“For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time. But in those days, following that distress, ‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.” Mark 13:22-25

God speaks
from the
cloud:
“Are you a
good
Samaritan?”
“But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” In reply Jesus (told them the parable of the good Samaritan)… and (then) Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” Lk 10:29-37
Prayer must be an instinct out of a life of prayer… it may be required suddenly!
• “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests” (Eph 6:18)
• “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.” (Rom 8:26-27)
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” (Mt 26:41)
"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.” (Mt 25:13)
Walking victoriously“this calls for PAITENT ENDURANCE.. And

They devoted themselves to the apostles'

He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!”…….He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life.
Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.
Rev 21:5-7
