Is your preparation revealing that you are getting ready for the seal of God, or for the mark of the beast?
Does the home, do the walls behind closed doors reveal what is said and done outside, outside on the job, outside with relatives, etcetera? Is the life daily lived in harmony with the principles in the Word of God?
To answer, do not first look to people to tell you, teach you what only the Holy Ghost can, and give you understanding. Humble self before God. Ask Him to tell you, to show you, you. Go, to the Word of God letting the Holy Spirit lead you, guide you into all truth, give you understanding.
Let God show you your own heart. Don’t try to look into someone else’s heart when you don’t know your own.
Then, by faith surrender self up to God. Give up. Surrender self-will to the will of God. Period. Make this faith choice daily. Then stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord.
Watch and pray and you will not enter into temptation.
Let go. Let God.
