Did you know what Jesus prayed for you and me as He walked towards Gethsemane, with His eyes lifted toward His Father in Heaven? He was praying for our sanctification. Jesus was praying that the Word of God, through the Spirit of God, would transform the daily lives of the Children of God. That’s us, folks. Listen to His prayer - John 17:17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. Jesus prayed for holy living in us who would live in the future. He knew how bad it would be. Jesus spoke of terrible days ahead for this world. He sent His beloved John on a journey ahead in time to see that Tribulation. The character of that world is stated in Revelation as dark and sinful. The entire world is given over to materialism, drugs, murders, and interestingly fornications. This is the world that is coming. This is the world that is forming before our eyes, in the daily news, and as we speak. It is a world totally given over to five clear areas of sin. Revelation 9:20-21 But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. 21 And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts. Peter warned the early saints to flee and forsake the lust-inducing activities that war against our souls. Listen to these pleas from the heart of the Apostle Peter to his beloved fellow believers: 1 Peter 1:14-15 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 1 Peter 2:11 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, Parents this is perhaps the most difficult of all the areas to pray about. Their purity of heart is usually reflected by thire modesty of life. And modesty is most often reflected in our clothing. Praying for purity in our children involves their minds, and also involves their clothing. Are you praying for purity in your children? Pray for godliness in mind and body. We saw last time that our position when we pray, the place or time or circumstance is not the issue of prayer. Prayer is to be for us a total way of life – an open communication with God which goes on all the time and unleashes the most powerful tool to raising, nurturing, and launching children that please the Lord is learning how to pray for our children.

How to Build a Destruction-proof Legacy We could summarize what Peter wrote by saying that he was exhorting his loved ones on how to rescue their treasures from the floods and fires. But as we look at 2 Peter 3:10-18, the lessons are far broader than just those early believers. These lessons are for us, and maybe even more so, in the world where we find ourselves today! Lesson one from Peter is: Beware of Materialism v. 10-11 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, First of all, as we look back at the words of v. 10-11, let me ask you: What is materialism? Materialism at the deepest level is: Living for things. Notice Peter’s reminder in v. 11: “all these things will be dissolved”. Everything that can burn up is what we are NOT to live for. We must not find our joy in things, our satisfaction in things, our hope in things. That is materialism. God describes materialism in His Word as covetousness, greed, and possessiveness. Greed is an attitude that gets demonstrated in both an action: POSSESSIVENESS (selfishness with what we have); and an attitude: COVETOUSNESS (longing for what we don't have).

Almighty God who sees everything, knows everything, and is infinitely wise, has a plan. That plan involves ending the sin, death, evil, and rebellion in this world. That plan has been written down and is ours today. As we start our study of this next section it reminds us that ONLY God knows the future. No person, no demon, no astrologer, no prophet, no writer, no one but God KNOWS the future. That is one of the most amazing facets of God’s character. He never is surprised. God always knows what WILL happen; and only He knows that. We need to isten to God. The Return of the King All of human history, since the fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden, has been hurtling towards this moment, when the Creator and King of the Universe comes back to set things in order. For thousands of years, sin has run rampant throughout the earth and the universe. Satan and his evil angels have done all they could do to thwart and disrupt the knowledge of God. Evil and misery have festered. Sin has permeated every part of human history. Death has taken every human but Enoch & Elijah. No one else has avoided death. So how can someone survive the end of the world? By listening to God's Word. Revelation 6-19 marks the Lord saying enough and starting the inevitable conquest back of sin’s reign and Satan’s rebellion. There is probably no part of Scripture more relevant to our times than this one. No portion of Scripture better frames the way we should see global events than this one. We are in the timeliest, most cutting-edge truths of God's Word as we enter these chapters, because: Only God knows the Future (ROK-01) Join the LAND OF THE BOOK channel to get access to weekly video releases over the next year totaling 50+ EXCLUSIVE VIDEOS that feature weekly in-depth Bible Study lessons with John & Bonnie.
