Waiting For And Hastening The Lord's Return
"But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws nigh." Luke 21:28
"all these things then being dissolved, what ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming day of God..." 2 Peter 3:11,12
We have reached capacity for the number of rooms assigned to us by Longwood and classes are at maximum capacity. Therefore, we are unable to accept any further registrations.
As we prayed and sought the Lord for the theme of this year's conference, we were impressed with the imminence of the Lord's return. The word of God makes it very clear when we consider "these things" that the Lord's coming is nearer that ever before. We were also impressed that often believers look at the Lord's coming in view of themselves alone. We ought to look at the Lord's return in view of the Eternal Purpose of God. What does He want? Why should we be prepared? How should we be waiting for and hastening His return? As a people, a corporate expression, what manner of people ought we to be to fulfill His purpose in coming again?
In light of this, as we gather we want to consider the imminence, purpose, recovery and battle over the Lord's return. Our prayer is that in these end days, God's people may be made ready for Him.
