Anne knows from personal experience that its in the busyness of our days, as were drifting in comfortable complacency, that we most need a wake-up calla jolt that pushes us to seek out a revival of our passion for Jesus that began as a blazing fire but somehow has died down to an ineffective glow.

To Gods people

Looking for that Blessed Hope

and

Glorious Appearing

of

our great God and Savior

Jesus Christ

T ITUS 2:13


The King James Version of this verse, Titus 2:13, was inscribed on a plaque that hung in my mothers bedroom when she was a girl growing up in China. That same plaque now hangs in my home as a treasured reminder that generations of every age have clung to the Blessed Hope and the Glorious Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I loved this book! I cant say that about every book Im asked to consider endorsing, but Expecting to See Jesus captured my heart in a way I hadnt expected. As soon as its released, Im going to buy a copy for everyone on our ministrys board and staff.

What captured me, in part, was Annes heart. What comes through on page after page is Annes genuine passion to see her Savior face-to-face, and her strong and growing sense that the Lord will return in her lifetime. To her credit, Anne is not interested in end-times prophecy as an intellectual exercise. She doesnt have a sensationalistic agenda. Shes rightly focused on the big picture. She handles the Scriptures faithfully and carefully. She knows it matters, and why it matters, and the more she sees Bible prophecy coming to pass in her lifetime from the rebirth of Israel and the return of the Jewish people to the Holy Land, to wars, rumors of wars, the rise of lawlessness and apostasy the more she wants to be ready to meet Jesus.

What I have also come to love about Anne is that she is a can do Christian. Shes very practical about all this. She knows that this glorious day of Christs return is rapidly approaching, and it motivates her to live differently. To pray differently. To schedule her time differently. To spend her money differently. She wants to be found faithful on that day. Thats why shes so fearless about preaching the gospel, teaching the Word, equipping the saints, and winsomely engaging anyone and everyone who will listen to the biblical truth about our times. May her tribe increase!

But theres more. What also captured my heart about this book is that Anne is candid and transparent about the struggles in her own life. She doesnt mince words, and she doesnt sweep her own challenges under the rug. She writes about how much she wants and needs a fresh revival of the Holy Spirit in her life. She writes about times she has gotten tired and the fire inside her began to dim. Then she shares how the Lord has helped her through those times. I readily identified with so many of her stories. I love Jesus, but I want to love Him more. Ive committed my life to abiding in Him and bearing fruit that will last, but I want to draw nearer. Ive gotten tired, and needed the Lord to pick me up and give me new strength. Ive gotten distracted from whats important, and needed a course correction. And now, more than ever, with all thats happening in the world, I want to see Jesus face-to-face. I want to learn to better hear my Shepherds voice. I want to learn how to respond faster and more faithfully when He gives me difficult assignments. And, like Anne, I long for the church here at home and around the world to wake up, to stand up, to step up and be ready to see Christ Jesus by living holy and living bold.

As I read through Annes book, I found myself thinking again and again of 1 John 2:28: Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming (NASB). What a gentle way the beloved apostle put it, but in that tenderness, we dare not miss his point. Jesus is coming for us soon. Are you ready? If Christ suddenly, unexpectedly took you home today, tomorrow, next week, are you ready to see Him? Are you eager and expectant to see Him? Will you be confident and clean when you see Him in person? Or will you be found doing something, reading something, listening to something, watching something, spending time with something or someone for which you will be ashamed when He takes you home?

These are important questions in these challenging times. My wife, Lynn, and I have come to so appreciate Anne Graham Lotz for her wisdom and her courage and her deep love of Jesus. We were glad to count her a friend before we read this book. Now we feel we know her even better and are blessed because of it. She is a kindred spirit and a fellow traveler on the road to heaven. May you find her and her book as much of a blessing as we have.

I am expecting to see Jesus! In the deep place where nobody goes

in the very deepest core of my being

the place forty-six years ago where I knew I was to marry Danny Lotz,

the place forty-two years ago where I knew that God would give me a baby, and that my firstborn would be a son,

the place thirty-five years ago where I knew I was to teach a Bible class,

the place where I knew I was to leave that class in my twelfth year of teaching and begin an itinerant ministry,

the place in the year 2000 where I knew I was to begin Just Give Me Jesus arena revivals,

in the deep inner place of knowing,

in that same deep place I know that my generation is the one that immediately precedes the return of Jesus Christ to earth. I know it!

How can anyone know such a thing? My knowledge is not based on my hopeful thinking not on dreams and wishes and feelings not on hearsay or doomsday soothsayers not on gloomy economic forecasts not on the dramatic political, social, cultural, medical, environmental, and moral cataclysmic changes taking place in our world today not on environmental disasters of biblical proportion like Hurricane Katrina, the earthquakes in Haiti and Japan, or the Joplin, Missouri, tornadoes. I base my deep inner conviction on what Jesus said.

And just who is Jesus? Im sure while you know the answer to that question, you may not have thought through the implications of the answer. If we believe Jesus is who He claimed to be the Son of God then it stands to reason that every word He spoke was the truth. And Jesus clearly stated on many occasions that one day He would return to earth to rule the world. When His disciples asked Him when that would be, Jesus gave them signs He said would indicate when the time was near.

The signs that Jesus gave and the headlines in the news are coming together in a dramatically sobering way. I have held the conviction with intense focus since I was in my early twenties that if I live out my natural lifetime, I will live to see the physical return of Jesus to earth! In the material Ive added to this book, I will give you reasons why I know Hes coming! He is coming!

Im alarmed because on the time clock of history, its five minutes to midnight and so many Christians seem to be sleeping! While I believe we are living in the most strategic and critical generation in all of history, other than the original one and also the one that witnessed the first coming of Jesus Christ to earth, Gods people in general seem to be oblivious of what time it is! We are fanatical about sports, we are consumed with eating and exercise and entertainment, we mob the shopping malls, we are preoccupied with the lifestyles of the rich and famous, we zealously pursue greater heights on the corporate ladder, we fight over church music, we argue over political candidates, we dream of bigger houses and cars and portfolios
