6 Days till Pentecost. As of 3rd of June 2019. While there are many saints in heaven that I wish to see, what I am praying most is that I will turn and look around and see all of my family members there with me standing before Jesus in the rapture. We have a really big immediate family and quite a lot of extended family, plus all those connected through marriage - it is my prayer that we are all there together. We continue to pray for those who we are not quite certain about and some God has placed on our hearts continually, so we just keep praying and witnessing when we are given the opportunity. I also hope to see all my students. I share the gospel with them regularly and hope they respond to the Holy Spirit's call. :prayer-hands: Amen to that! Jesus first, then family and friends, for sure. Certainly the transformation and every aspect of the process known as the Rapture will forever profoundly affect our very being. More so is what we shall become. As a butterfly emerging it's cocoon speaks of a new life, so too we shall glory in our newest estate. From glory to glory, we shall continue to experience new and greater levels of existence. All to God's glory! TR My longing is to see Jesus, and as my daughter mentioned all my loved family, plus I have a very dear work family, many are born again believers, I am super excited to see my RITAN family and lastly for the 10,000 upon 10,000 x 10,000’s I have prayed and requested for Our Savior to open their eyes to the truth of the gospel as He did for Paul on the Damascus road before our departure, from every tribe and tongue, every nation. I can emphasize closely with the song, I can only Imagine by Mercy me. Soon! :yahoo: :prayer-hands: :prayer-hands: 5 Days till Pentecost. As of 4th of June 2019. 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
