Today, we're diving deep into something that might seem a little heavy, a little… apocalyptic. We're talking about the end times! Now, before you start picturing fire and brimstone and stocking up on canned goods, let me tell you, this isn't about fear. It's about finding your ultimate power!

Luke 21:25-28, 34-36, talks about some pretty intense stuff: chaos in the cosmos, nations in turmoil, people freaking out. Sounds a bit like the news these days, doesn't it? But here's the thing: fear is a liar! It paralyzes you, keeps you from taking action, from living your best life NOW.

This passage isn't about scaring us into submission. It's a wake-up call! It's about taking control of your destiny, about living with passion, purpose, and mindfulness every single day. Because, let's be honest, who wants to sleepwalk through life?

Think of it like this: You're in the state championship, the clock is ticking down, the stakes are high. Do you cower in the corner? No way! You step up, you focus, you give it everything you've got!

That's what this passage is telling us to do. It's saying, "Hey, the ultimate game is coming, so get in the zone! Raise your head! Prepare yourself!"

And the best part? This isn't some random game with no reward. This is about ultimate victory, about reuniting with the source of all power and love. It's about transcending suffering and achieving ultimate fulfillment. It is about living for God’s Glory .

Now, I know what some of you might be thinking: "This all sounds great, but how can I stay focused when the world feels like it's falling apart?" Yeah, I've had those days too.

Let me tell you a story. Years ago, I was fortunate enough to encounter an amazing woman, a single mom who was battling cancer. She was facing the ultimate challenge, the end of her own personal game. But you know what? She wasn't filled with fear. She was filled with gratitude, with love for her children, with an unwavering faith that there was something more, something beyond the pain.

That woman taught me a powerful lesson: true strength isn't about avoiding pain, it's about finding meaning and purpose in the midst of it. It's about transforming fear into faith, uncertainty into unwavering belief.

So, how do we do this? How do we stay strong, focused, and empowered in the face of uncertainty?

• Step 1: Take control of your mind. Don't let fear and negativity dominate your thoughts. Feed your mind with positivity, with gratitude, with empowering beliefs.

• Step 2: Live with passion and purpose. Find your mission in life and pursue it with everything you've got. Make every day count!

• Step 3: Connect with something bigger. Whether it's your faith, your family, or your community, find something that gives your life meaning and purpose.

Remember, the end times aren't about the end. They're about transformation, about reaching your ultimate potential all for the Glory of God. So, step up and take control!
