wanted to say something like this for everyone to hear and feel encouraged.

Most of us have been watching the signs for a long time. Some longer than others. Most all of us are feeling a little worn out and run down - we see some intense things, and they simmer down. They heat up again, they simmer down. Some of us might even be feeling a little cheated. I'm guilty of saying "If THIS isn't it, then it's as though God is dangling a carrot in front of us!" and then IT turned out not to be it, and times went on and reaccelerated. The constant up and down and back and forth has left us feeling almost betrayed and tired.

This is what I want to dispel though: Christianity wasn't, isn't, and never will be based on our feelings. The return of Christ is not based on how we are feeling, ever. These things are firmly rooted in fact - the day IS coming. The signs are also screaming out to us, and have been for years, only ever getting louder.

Consider that the world's financial system is falling into chaos and crumble.
Consider that the European Union is gearing up to take lead of the world's power - the source of the AntiChrist.
Consider that daily now, someone cries out for 'a leader'.
Consider that this March, the EU will be the one to put a peace plan on the table to be completed by the end of 2013.
Consider that Damascus is a time bomb currently waiting for the fuse to be lit - and there are many ways it could be.
Consider that the pieces are already in play for both the Middle East War and Gog/Magog to occur within days if need be.
Consider that I couldn't have said -any of these above- truthfully this time last year.

Disregard your feelings, wherever they are, look at the facts. It doesn't matter how far you are in your walk - no matter where you are, at the shout of the Lord, you will be harvested no matter the growth. This year, today, it's more true than ever before in years past - the LORD is coming soon, and we are the generation to see these things. It's been 65 years since Israel was re-born, 65 years closer to the promised coming - every day these days is a momentous step in the direction of God.

Don't fear your feelings, don't fear your mood, don't fear your outlook - critically examine where we are compared to the Bible's timeline and know that the day of the trumpet is imminent.
