Ref. DLG 22 : A Prepared People

'' And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb '' Rev. 7: 14 

Heaven is meant for a prepared people of God , who through diverse trials and temptations has being through tribulation and persecution and has persevered in the faith in Christ .A prepared people are those who are washed with the word of God and are cleansed from sin , spot , blemish , and any stain of defilement .'' That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. '' Ephesians 5:26-27

The purpose of God for the people of God is that they may be prepared in such a way as to be able to enter the prepared place { heaven }. This means the people of God must be holy , purge , washed , and cleansed of every evil , sin, iniquity , and all forms of transgression .

    A prepared people are those who have overcome the world of sin and iniquity .'' For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.''  1 John 5:4 Overcoming the world entails overcoming the flesh , the lust of the eyes and the lust of the flesh as well as pride . These are basically the things of the world that makes people  live in sin . 

'' For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.'' 1 John 2 :16  The children of God must be prepared in such a way as to overcome all these things . The prepared people of God do not love the world in any way . They have no place for lust of the flesh , nor lust of the eyes .  These have accepted the humble life of Christ Jesus and are prepared  for eternal life in heaven .

Their minds are heaven ward and their desire is to be with the Lord almighty .'' If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.'' Colossians 3:1-2  The prepared people are focused on Christ Jesus and are people who are ready for the kingdom of heaven and have a life style of waiting for the second coming of our Lord and the rapture of the church .

Prayer 

Dear Lord help me to be  prepared and ready for the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ so that I can inherit the heavenly mansions prepared for me in Jesus name . amen .
