This, from my dear brother, Anthony Sawyer, Jr. . . is worth sharing . . beautiful inspiration meant for us while we wait for our Lord's rapture call ~~` blessed is Heavenly encouragement . .. ~ ~~ . . In this fallen, broken world there are many times when it feels like the voice of God can not be heard... It seems like you're spiritually straining your ears to listen to even a whisper of hope even though you're fighting against the noise of unbelief, fear and struggles.. . The tug of war between the flesh and the spirit rages on constantly when you know The Lord's voice is sure in your soul but the fallen frame we reside in still battles that belief... Sometimes even The Lord's return seems to be far off in the distance and the assurance in which you once stood firmly is now shaken to the core.. . In the book of 1 Thessalonians chapter 4 it speaks about The Lord's return in detail and I've wondered about it a great deal... It says that The Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout and I thought about what this could really mean... In a moment in eternity, in a space of time that can not be measured, The One who exhaled the stars in the sky and breathed the universe into being will shout from a passionate heart which first loved us.. . The same heart which gave its last and with every labored beat, He saw each of our faces redeemed as He now descends... With a shout, a loud command that will cause death to lose its hold as it now trembles in fear of The One who conquered it long ago... And with this shout, every atom, every cell of our fallen bodies will be changed in an instant, in an explosion of eternal life, bursting forth and soaring to The Beloved of our souls... Reunited with our loved ones temporarily parted as we all share in The Lord's victory and as our faith is finally made sight... Stay encouraged beloved and don't give up... That is very encouraging! I particularly related, as I’m sure most of us do, to this: In this fallen, broken world there are many times when it feels like the voice of God can not be heard… It seems like you’re spiritually straining your ears to listen to even a whisper of hope even though you’re fighting against the noise of unbelief, fear and struggles.. The tug of war between the flesh and the spirit rages on constantly when you know The Lord’s voice is sure in your soul but the fallen frame we reside in still battles that belief… Thank you Donna for posting this - after a very long week and many trials - this is indeed encouraging! It brought happy tears to my eyes to read of the Lord’s favor for His children. :yahoo: The same heart which gave its last and with every labored beat, He saw each of our faces redeemed as He now descends… This sounds to me as though we might feel such exhilaration at seeing the love for us on Jesus face, and yet our eyes be filled with tears that He has come for us ~ that moment has come! A moment like no other moment, ever! :bible :amen: 
Jesus is coming soon
