Continuing to pray for the lost, ready in season and out with a Word as led by the Holy Spirit, following God’s call, watching, and keeping a short account, lamp trimmed and ready for God’s next big adventure. :yahoo: :prayer-hands: Certainly for those lost, it won't be for any lack of effort on the Lord's part. Ever been smitten by someone and did all that you could to entreat and offer your love to them? Only in the end to barely be noticed or dismissed? So it is with God! Incredibly unfathomable, many yet still refuse His advances! Not for lack of prayers, witnessing and sharing. Religion indeed kills. It killed Jesus! Problem is that religion thrives even when it takes Christ out of the equation. Many understand human relationships, but simply can't superimpose this type of love and relate to God in a personal fashion! Whereas relationship is eternal, so long as it is on His terms! TR Well said TR, well said! Religion does indeed kill, as we have seen throughout time. But remember, Christ freely chose to die, the just for the unjust. He gave His life as a ransom for us. God designed this method of sacrifice to purchase, by blood, back sinful man and redeem the works of His hand. It remains a mystery, why man would choose to turn and reject a Holy and Loving Father God. Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” And 1 John 4:9 “We love because he first loved us.” Even the craziness that we see happening all around us, goes beyond understanding, but God. He will soon give the shout and call His Beloved Bride Home, thus ending the age of Grace .... mankind will never be the same again ... Isaiah 42:9 “Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.” We are the generation that was foretold in this verse. Get ready as when you see these things come to pass, look up! :flyup: :prayer-hands: :yahoo: 4 Days till Pentecost. As of 5th of June 2019. If Pentecost is our day, I wonder if we will get a "high sign" from the Lord? Perhaps 3 days of darkness leading into it. Some have seen and expressed the Church would be seen as lights or stars shooting upward. If there is a specific hour and if there were supernatural darkness veiling our ascent, it could be a universal darkness averting the worlds attention! What do you think? TR
