That said, we continue to occupy and take this time to draw ever closer to His heart and Will! Well said! Still ever hopeful of the closest possible day yet knowing that day is unknowable! If that doesn't demand faith and love, nothing does! But rather than isolating on all the negatives and the mounting evil and wickedness, et all! My visions of the glories of the Rapture and Heaven sustain me! Looking ever towards His sovereignty, majesty and His lovingkindness keeps my heart afloat! In the end, I am a realist! God is real, Heaven is real, the Rapture is real! TR TR I am with you — I am a realist - God is exactly who he says he is and what he says is truth so as he gave us in Romans 8:24-25 - “For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.“. The next verse is what many know Romans 8:26 “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.”. …. Can you hear the cries that the Father hears from the Holy Spirit as he groans for us before the Father, of us who long for our call home … We are not to panic. We are children of the light. Jesus told us iniquity/lawlessness would abound, and the love of many would grow cold. We have been told what will happen so that we will have peace in knowing that God is in control and victory is certain. Let nothing shake your faith or move you away from the hope of the gospel. Jesus is the Only hope for everyone. One of our main instructions as God’s servants is to make disciples of all nations. First and foremost, especially now. People who might not have been willing to hear about Jesus last week might be scared and ready to listen now. Always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that what you do will be rewarded. We can always pray. We can offer to listen, we can comfort, we can console. We can take our earthly resources, time, talents and supplies, and make them multiply for the things that count in eternity: God’s glory and people’s souls. It is more important than ever that the child of God hear God’s voice for themselves. If we are still breathing, God has a purpose for us. The very safest place on earth is the center of God’s will. When you turn your life over to the Lord, He will see to it that all your needs are met, so you won’t have to worry at all about what tomorrow might bring (Matt 6:31-34). He will see that everything works together for your good (Romans 8:28). He will give back to you all out of proportion to what you give to Him (Luke 6:38). He will make you rich in every way so you can be generous on every occasion (2 Cor. 9:11), and you’ll be storing up untold treasure in heaven (Matt. 6:19-21) as well. To occupy till He comes is to be engaged in the conduct of the business He has called us to. But God never forces any of His children to do anything. The single condition for our salvation is to “believe in the One He sent” . Holy Spirit please intercede and groan for each of us! Lead us into all truth and lead our hearts and spirits daily! TR
