How prepared are we to face the difficult times that are on the horizon? In Matthew 24, Jesus warned us of specific evils that will increase during the end times: deceit, fear and worry, persecution, offense, betrayal and hatred, and love that has grown cold. Have you already suffered from any of these? Are you tired of living under the power of buried, unhealed wounds? We will not be able to stand in the days ahead when a desperate world needs us most if we remain crippled ourselves. In Preparing to Stand, author Charleeda Sprinkle, looks at the devastating effects of each of these evils, how they are increasingly manifesting around the world today, and how we can find healing and guard our hearts from further attack. This short study will help strengthen what is weak so you can stand strong in the face of coming, trying times and help others to do the same. Study questions and activities included with each chapter provide easy-to-follow guidelines for small group study.
