Don’t Wait Until You’re “Ready” – Come to Jesus Now (Clovis, NM Church)

“I’ll come to church when I clean up my life.”

“I’ll get right with God… just not right now.”

“I’m not ready to give it all up yet.”

If you’ve said anything like this—you’re not alone. But here’s the truth: you may not get another chance.

The Devil’s Favorite Word is “Later”

He doesn’t mind you believing in God. He just wants you to delay actually surrendering to Him. Because the longer you wait, the harder your heart becomes.

“Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.” – Hebrews 3:15

Every time you resist conviction, it gets easier to ignore the next time. That’s not growth. That’s spiritual decay.

You’ll Never Be “Ready”

Jesus doesn’t say, “Fix your life, then follow Me.” He says, “Come to Me, all who are weary.” (Matthew 11:28)

You don’t clean up to come to God. You come to God—and He cleans you up.

Waiting until you’re ready is like waiting until you’re healthy to go to the ER.

Procrastinating the Gospel is Dangerous

You’re not promised tomorrow. Life is a vapor—one heartbeat, one crash, one diagnosis away from eternity. And once you step into eternity, there are no do-overs.

The rich man in Luke 16 begged for a second chance after death—but there wasn’t one. That moment is gone forever.

God Is Calling You Now

Right now—this very second—is a divine appointment. Not an accident. Not a coincidence. God is reaching out to you through this screen, this message, this breath.

Will you respond? Or will you gamble your soul on a “someday” that may never come?

God is ready. The cross is ready. Heaven is ready. The only question is—are you?
