Throughout the Bible, God repeats an important truth: understanding times and seasons is the key to living with wisdom and victory. He has given us a process by which we can anticipate what to expect—and even the general time to expect it. From planting a garden to preparing for the return of Jesus, everything follows the rhythm of times and seasons.

Every year when I plant my garden, I don’t know the exact day to sow seeds. Instead, I look to the season and the patterns of weather. In the same way, while awaiting the harvest, I don’t waste energy checking the field every day in frustration—I recognize the season and wait for the fruit to show.

Raising children works the same way. We don’t guide them merely by age, but by discerning the season of their lives. Spiritually, this principle is just as vital. When we understand the seasons of our lives, our growth, and even the world around us, we can focus on the right preparation. We know what lessons to embrace and what actions to take.

The only way to make sense of what is happening in the world today is to discern the season. When we do, we recognize what the Holy Spirit desires to teach us and equip us for what comes next.

This week, join me as we uncover what Jesus taught about times and seasons—so that the events unfolding on the earth will not take us by surprise. This understanding is one of the most powerful keys to being an overcomer, regardless of what happens.

Are you a Christian concerned about the coming tribulation? While the Bible presents three options for believers—die for your faith, barely endure, or become an overcomer—this book is for those who choose the third path. It’s not enough to simply prepare for tribulation; we must prepare for the return of the Lord. An overcomer focuses on the solution, not the problem.

In this fresh, yet scriptural, look at Jesus’ return, you will discover the spiritual history of the world and understand how we’ve reached this point of darkness. You’ll finally see past Lucifer’s actual strategies, uncover the truth about ancient myths and legends, and learn how legalism has taken hold of the entire world. This book will help you identify the spirit at work in both the world and the Church, understand how world governments will be seduced by Mystery Babylon, and recognize the apostate religion, the false Christ, and the false prophet. Ultimately, you’ll learn the only way to prepare for what lies ahead. This book offers a straightforward, biblical plan for the future, with practical application sections in almost every chapter to help you live as an overcomer.
