Watch and Pray, the Survival Practice of All Followers of Christ. Introduction.

We are already living in the end days, and when Jesus comes again at the end of times, are we going to be left or taken? If the rapture leaves our souls behind to endure the tribulation and its escalating catastrophes, it will be because it caught us spiritually dead due to our sins, disobedience and separation from God. During His passion in Gethsemane and being Himself under attack by Satan, Jesus imparted to His apostles a vital practice to help us all avoid being overcome by evil. It is a very effective and survival-based advice that implies a contact with our Father in Heaven for help and a self-vigilant attitude to walk safely in this dark world at the same time. Some of the deep spiritual implications of His wise words are presented in the hope that they will be of spiritual assistance for all of us if we follow them earnestly and faithfully.
