Prayer Center

As Christians, we are called to pray for God’s guidance and wisdom. At Rapture Ready we feel it is more imperative than ever for believers to stand together in prayerful unity as the world continues on a downward spiral toward the Tribulation hour. Calamity causes people to waste huge amounts of time fixated on watching the destruction instead of praying for protection and God’s miraculous interventions.

The Bible is filled with verses encouraging us to stay focused on praying for God’s will for our lives; for the safety and wellbeing of our families, ministries and leaders; for the spiritual awakening of the unsaved so they to come to true salvation in Christ; and of course for one another and anything that the Lord places upon our hearts.

Up to the final moments of our days on earth, until the day of the Rapture of the Church, we are dedicated to be prayer warriors for the cause of Christ. We have added this new page to invite and motivate our fellow believers to pray for the most pressing needs of the day.

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty” (1 Timothy 2)

STRUGGLING AGAINST THE FORCES OF DARKNESS

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12).

Apostasy and Doctrines of Demons

Theology Abandoned: The Church’s Crisis of Biblical Ignorance. A primary cause is the neglect of sound teaching. Many modern churches, to attract large crowds and avoid controversy, have abandoned expository preaching and robust doctrinal instruction in favor of feel-good messages and self-help-style sermons. The apostle Paul warned that a time would come when people “will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions” (2 Timothy 4:3). That time is now.

Disgusting Ad From KFC. The commercial currently airs in UK and Ireland. It should not be aired anywhere, even though it’s also on YouTube for anyone to view. This ad is KFC’s second “Believe” commercial but much creepier than the first. The “Believe Part 2: All Hail Gravy” commercial includes mocking a baptism, cannibalism, insanity, and idolatry. This commercial is a blight on the company.  I doubt KFC would produce an ad that is disrespectful to Islam.

AI Jesus: An Effort to Blur the Distinction Between God and Man? Recently, believers and unbelievers who want to know about Jesus and the Bible have turned to AI. However, knowing about Jesus isn’t the same as knowing Jesus. The apostle John said, “This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent” (John. 17:3).

Why The Use of Sorcery Will Be So Prevalent During the Tribulation Period. After the rapture of the Church, the world’s descent into spiritual darkness will be hastened. Forces of darkness will rush to fill the void, finding sympathetic hearts because wicked mankind loves darkness (John 3:19). Sadly, as we witnessed in the World War I era, oftentimes worldwide disaster causes mankind to seek refuge in darkness rather than light. But there is hope: it is found in Jesus Christ.  He said of Himself in John 8:12: “I am the light of the world.  He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

And Hatred of Jews and Israel

The ‘Blame Israel First Derangement Syndrome.’ It can be seen in those who malign the Jewish state for a war it didn’t start and those who insist that Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria pose a threat to Mideast stability.

Lesley Stahl Slammed for Disgraceful Question to Hamas Hostage: ‘Did They Mean to Starve You?’ While speaking with former hostage Keith Siegel, Stahl asked him a question that was equal parts moronic and anti-Semitic.

Pervasive Perversion

Toddler in UK reportedly suspended from nursery school for transphobia: It’s Totalitarian Insanity. Data from the country’s Dept of Education show that the student, who was 3 or 4 years old, was among 94 suspended or expelled from similar primary schools for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity” during the 2022-2023 academic year. Of the 94, 10 were aged 7 or younger. The number of students suspended or expelled from all state primary schools for so-called homophobic or transphobic behavior increased from 164 in 2021-22 to 178 in 2022-23.

Iniquity Shall Abound

Las Vegas babysitter arrested after fatally stabbing three-year-old. Marketta Phillips, 41, is charged with murder. The incident took place in an apartment at around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday while the child’s father was at work. This is not Phillips’ first run with authorities. About a week prior, police responded to the same unit, and Phillips was put on a “Legal 2000,” a 72-hour mental health crisis hold.

Last Days Traitors

Good news: Trump Signs Executive Order Targeting ‘Anti-American Ideology’ At Smithsonian Museums. The order is aimed at removing “anti-American ideology” from the Smithsonian Institution and restoring monuments removed during the past five years. “Over the past decade, Americans have witnessed a concerted and widespread effort to rewrite our Nation’s history, replacing objective facts with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth This revisionist movement seeks to undermine the remarkable achievements of the United States by casting its founding principles and historical milestones in a negative light.”

And Their Deliberate Border Disorder

7 More MS-13 and Tren de Aragua Gang Members Deported to El Salvador, ‘Including Murderers, Child Rapists.’ “In a successful counter-terrorism operation with allies in El Salvador, the U.S. military transferred a group of 17 violent criminals from Tren de Aragua and MS-13 organizations, including murderers and rapists.”

Weather Events

7 dead in Tennessee, Missouri, and Indiana as tornado outbreak hits central U.S. A multi-hazard storm spawned over 40 tornadoes from Oklahoma to Ohio on April 2. Life-threatening, catastrophic, and potentially historic flash flood event continues across the Lower Ohio Valley and Mid-South, with rain totals of up to 380 mm (15 inches) forecast for some regions through the week. High risks of excessive rainfall (level 4/4) remain in effect through April 6.

Earthquakes

Myanmar-Thailand earthquake death toll still rising 1 week later with Myanmar state media revising the country’s death toll up to 3,354 on April 5. Another 4,850 people have been injured, and 220 remain missing. At least 23 people have died in Thailand’s capital Bangkok, which was also rocked by the earthquake. Most of the deaths are from the collapse of a high-rise building that was under construction when it collapsed as the powerful quake struck. Dozens of others are still missing.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

Danny Danon tells UN Security Council to ‘heed Gazans cry’ against Hamas
Israel’s UN Ambassador responded to the UN Security Council’s criticisms of Israel’s military by playing a recording of Gazans rising up against Hamas and urged the body to “heed their cry” by taking courageous actions against the terror group.

Israel to occupy 25% of Gaza to apply ‘maximum pressure’ to free Hamas hostages. The occupation, set to be completed within two to three weeks, aims to exert military pressure across the Gaza Strip to force Hamas to agree to a new cease-fire deal that would free some of the 24 living hostages still in captivity.

War with Iran is ‘almost inevitable’ if no nuke deal is reached, France warns. Iran rejects direct talks, and President Trump threatened to impose secondary tariffs on Iran and even to carry out airstrikes on its nuclear facilities should no deal be reached. Iran’s Ayatollah warned that Iran would strike Israel and the U.S. in the event of an attack on its nuclear facilities. Amid rising tensions, the U.S. deployed additional assets within striking distance of Iran.
