Manuscript:

Have any you ever been caught unaware of something.

Have you ever been blindsided?

Have you ever faced something that completely came out of nowhere?

It is not a very nice feeling.

I remember I had an experience many years ago when In school.

I was taking the class Anatomy and Physiology.

I had done well on my first few exams, and I felt like I had a handle on the class.

The 3rd test was a long ways off, and there would be sufficient time to study for it.

I decided to chill a bit.

I stopped reading the Book after class, I stopped doing some of the homework.

I began to watch a lot more TV, than I should have, I started to get engrossed in certain video games.

I reasoned that a week before the test or so I would straighten up and fly right, do my job of cramming, and get a good grade.

But As I started to dip furthur and furthur into fun and games, I truly started to lose perspective.

And eventually I started to miss class.

I became distant from the what was going on in the course.

I stopped looking at the Syllabus.

This was the thing that told when all the exams were coming.

I started to miss class here and there.

And one week, it got so bad that I decided to skip class for the whole week.

I figured I had it under control I had done so well on my previous tests.

Then one day I realize let me go back to class I haven’t been there in a while, and the exam is probably a few weeks off.

I remember that day I walked into class the A Student I was cocky and ready to start review for exam that I believed was a few weeks off.

I was ready with my notebook to take notes and be a good student.

But things were a little different, I noticed that for some reason I didn’t see people with their books on the table.

I said that’s odd.

I turned behind me and saw someone frantically looking over their notes, and repeating the different names of the 270 bones in the human body.

I started to feel a little nervous, like when you see Dark Storm Clouds forming in the Sky And then I heard the voice of my professor declare into the atmosphere, in words of doom and Dread please take everything off your desk except a pencil and get ready for your exam.

At that moment I experience a sinking feeling like know other.

I felt sweat start on the back of my neck.

I felt Lost, I felt defeated Because the day of the exam had come, and I was not ready.

I had not studied a lick.

I was not prepared.. Frantically I opened up my book to see if I could somehow put something in my mind that would stick.

But it was too late.

Words can’t describe the feeling I felt.

There is quite nothing like the it feeling like to be unprepared for a Test.

I had got so caught with with having fun.

that I had lost all perspective of where he were in the Semester.

I ended up failing the test, because I didn't know the time.

Brothers Sister there is test coming, that is more important than any college exam.

And this you can’t afford to fail.

But in time when we should be prayerful preparing, many of us have been lulled to sleep by Worldly entertainments and pursuit of our own pleasure.

We have lost track of the times we are living.

This the concern of the apostle Paul when he through the aid of the Holy Spirit penned these inspired words

11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

I ask the question do you know times that we are living in today.

Are you preparing to meet Jesus When he comes.

Do you know the time you are living in.

This is not the place in earth History to be clueless, to be unaware.

This is not the time to chill and ease up.

This not the time to get caught up!!!

Jesus said take heed lest that day catches you unawares.

Lest I come and find you not ready.

Paul says no the time, so let us examine where October 14th 2017.

Jesus told us and that there would be indicators of his coming.

And when they come pass, that these things are even at the doors.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

This year alone we have had more CAtegory 5 157mph hurricanes Than ever Before.

Of all the Category 5 hurricane that make landfall on record in The Atlantic Since 1851

25% of them happened this year.

There is no precedent so many categeory 5 hurricanes making landfall.

Frequency and Intensity - 3 Major Hurricanes passed through the same region in 3 weeks.

Residents from some Islands barley had time to assess the wreckage from one Hurricane before another bore down on them.

On Sept. 8, three storms threatened land: from left, Tropical Storm Katia, Hurricane Irma and Tropical Storm Jose, which would intensify into a hurricane.

Eric Blake, a scientist at the National Hurricane Center, tweeted, “Never seen anything like this in the modern record.”
