Startled….

~ ~to the One Who climbed Calvary's hill~
OH! ~Jesus, , ~~ we rejoice
according to Your will
YES!  ~ Splendid King,
we hear Your Voice
and . . ~angels sing!

and so,
with heavenly desire
amidst Heavenly fire
Mighty are You, Lord ~~
. May you soon return
holding the flaming sword. .

I am not sure I agree TR, about being startled — as watchers, many of us find that we listen throughout the day and are awakened at night praying and hoping to hear the trumpet. … You will have a song in the night, when a holy feast is kept and gladness of heart, when one sets out at the sound of the flute to go to the mountain of God, the Rock of Israel. Isaiah 30:29.  The longing in my spirit to see Jesus and to be free from the curse of sin can only make me excited in anticipation of that “cry of Command” the “voice of the archangel” and the trumpet of God …. COME! :yahoo: :prayer-hands:

I doubt I will be startled … I have GREAT Expectations … I expect to hear the trumpet call each day/night … I’m disappointed and surprised that it hasn’t happened yet.

For years I thought it would be a piece of cake and more blessed to be counted in the alive and remain group … but now I’m rethinking that position … after seeing the world and our country ready to collapse at any moment …its heartbreaking to watch … I rather be part of the dead in Christ.  They are the fortunate ones!  And I find myself wondering why I’m still here … I don’t fit in this world and my spiritual job is done.  I’ve been secretly praying daily for the Lord to take me home and even more so since I’ve been dealing with covid for the past week and a half … it hasn’t been fun living.

Counting on and expecting to leave this spring!

Geri, I hear you, but only the Father knows if your work is done and I personally think it would be beyond awesome to fly through the air and see Jesus! What a gift….. Hang in there, we so got this! Please pray as consistently for that trumpet sound :yahoo:
