Not Being Pushy? – I just Can’t Wait!

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     I’m not being pushy (I hope) but it’s getting hard to wait.  The world is in such turmoil, the twerp (enemy) is fighting so hard against us and we're getting tired, BUT DO NOT GIVE UP!  I know the word says:

[Heb 11:1 NKJV] “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

     Since, FAITH is the evidence of things not seen, and since we’re all still here – we haven’t seen rapture yet, so I PRAY it’s coming soon.  FAITH is also what we hope for. Is it wrong to hope that the Feast of Trumpets could be when we get out of here? 

     But like my Lord, Jesus, I also pray “Your will be done, not mine.” So whether it’s this year or next we’ll continue to keep the “Joy of the Lord” and He’ll strengthen us until He does return – PTL, I’ll still REJOICE in ALL things.

     Here are some of the exciting changes and treasures we wait for:

1.     No More: [1Co 2:9 NKJV] “But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him." 

a.      You know that song “I Can Only Imagine”?  The most beautiful things you’ve ever seen on earth will be surpassed in Heaven.

2.     A magnificent holy city: [Rev 21:2 NKJV]  “Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. ...

a.      Those of you who have watched “StarTrek” should remember the “Borg ship” the square box they all lived in – I can promise you the New Jerusalem, although in the same style will have NO interior likeness to it!  Why?  We have a Creator, who started with perfection [Garden of Eden] giving us that perfection and more for eternity.  Because of His Love and we FREELY CHOOSE HIS BELOVED SON and the works we’ve done to bring Glory and Honor to the Father during our time here.

3.     No More tears, death or suffering: [Rev 21:4 NKJV] "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."

a.      No tears, because they’ll be NO offenses, harsh words, anger, death, sorrows so they’ll be no crying.  Anything that made you cry or gave you pain inside – THAT’S ALL GONE!  PTL!!   I firmly believe that for awhile, we’ll be so busy being amazed, not just what Heaven is, but possibly shocked at who made it – hehe! 

b.     I’m sure my husband Bill was, when he saw my mom in line, waiting to get in, they joined the Lord 4 months apart.  We know there is no time, like earth, in Heaven.  [2 Peter 3:8 NKJV]  “But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day [is for us] as a thousand years, and a thousand years as [His] one day.”

c.      I look forward to seeing all my relatives and friends, who I’ve been envious of [I’m not suppose to be jealous – my sister Jen said so, but it’s OK to be envious] because they went to the Lord before me.  The Lord says to the 1,000^th generation we’ll see our relatives.  I wonder if He meant those we’ve never met?  If so, what a reunion that will be, it should take a year or so in Heaven to remember their names!  I also Praise The Lord, that we'll ALL speak the same language, because I don't speak; Polish, German, French, and barely passed English in school.  See what I mean about the goodness of God?

4.     Things that no one has seen, heard, or imagined: [John 14:1-3 NKJV] 1 "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 "In My Father's house are many mansions; if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, [there] you may be also.”

a.      Talk about a CULTURE SHOCK!  It’s a good thing we’ll have other relatives there to guide us in the new ways.  I know for sure, this old lady will need days just to figure out how to get, where I’m suppose to be!

      These four alone I can only imagine, but I also have trouble waiting – how about you?  Like you, I’ve heard the stories of men; women and children of all religions say they went to Heaven and some to hell, coming back changing their lives to glorify God. 

     Whether we go this year or next, PRAY & BLESS, the prodigals to come home, PRAY & BLESS the saved and unsaved, PRAY & Bless ALL nations and their rulers.  Remember the “Will Of The Lord” [2 Peter 3:9 NKJV] “The Lord is not slack concerning [His] promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”  Also, He works through Prayers & Blessings the best.

     You don’t have to be a MISSIONARY, selling everything, then leave your family, go to a nation you neither know the language nor the people, to tell someone about Jesus.

     I CHALLENGE YOU THIS WEEK, everyday “ASK THE LORD TO SEND SOMEONE IN YOUR PATH WHO NEEDS SALVATION.  If all the people and nations who read this blog do that, think of all those born-again believers who will then spread it to their families and friends.  Think of the wildfires we can start – against the enemy keeping who he wants.  It’s not our job to save them, just give your testimony about what Jesus did for you and ask them if they’d like to know Jesus.  If you see someone sick or hurting, ask them if you can pray for them – be bold!  Saved or unsaved doesn’t matter – we have a healing God, who does not like His children [He did create them also] suffering and wants to reveal Himself to them.  HELP THIS HAPPEN – TIME IS REALLY SHORT PLEASE TAKE THIS CHALLENGE.  When you meet Jesus, you’ll be so happy you did.

Blessings to all who read the Blogs, for YOU are FAVORED and BLESSED!
