Hi and God bless you all.You are precious in the sight of God and loved beyond comprehension!
Hear the Heavenly Voice
Heb.12:25-29.
"See that you do not refuse Him who speaks.For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth,much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven,whose voice then shook the earth;but now He has promised,saying,'Yet once more I shake not only earth,but also heaven.' Now this,'Yet once more,'indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken,as of things that are made,,that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken,let us have grace,by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.For our God is a consuming fire." (NKJV)
We are there!We are living in the last of the last days!Look around you.Observe the unpredictable weather patterns,violence at every turn,no love for our fellow man,no concern about the things of God,no fear of God.No reverence for Holy things.Economic conditions all over the world are bleak,and no one has the answers.All of these things and more are just the fulfillment of the prophecies fortold long ago by Isaiah,Ezekiel,Jeremiah,Daniel,Paul,Peter,James,John and Jesus Himself.
The "things" in the above context of Scripture that are being shaken is also a direct fulfillment of prophecy.Everytime we turn on the T.V.,we hear of some other problem that has arisen.Wars and rumors of war in the Middle East over the tiny strip of land called Israel.Surrounded by their enemies on every hand,and yet they still exist as a nation,because God still has His hand upon them.Now,I don't like to sound as if I'm all doom and gloom,but the things that can be shaken,are in fact being shaken,so as to remove all things in our lives that are a hinderance to us in our walk with Christ.He said it Himself in Luke 18:8,"....Nevertheless,when the Son of Man comes,will He really find faith on the earth?"When Jesus returns for His bride at the Rapture/Out Resurrection will He find us faithfull and our lamps trimmed and full of the oil of the Holy Spirit?
People's hearts are failing them for fear of the unknown.But,we,as children of the Living God need not fear any of these things,it should be the clarion call to us to keep looking up,for our redemption draws nigh.Dear child of God,perfect love casts out all fear,the love of God brings peace,not fear.We should be filled with the expectancy of His soon return,perfecting holiness in the fear and reverence of God.Sure,I'd be a fool to say that we have no problems in this life,and I'd also be a liar if I were to say that I'm not concerned for my friends and family and loved ones who are not in right relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.Because you know that if the Rapture were to take place today,at any moment,that many would be left behind to deal with the wrath of God that will be poured out on this ungodly world for there continued rejection of the Only Way of escape.
Oh,I'm sure there are many who read this,and say in their heart,'I know Jesus',but in reality they are holding on to things in their life that are at odds with God and the witness of the Spirit in their lives that says something different.
As the context of Scripture says,"see that you don't refuse Him who speaks from heaven",for everything that can be shaken,will be shaken.If our faith is in Christ and Him alone we will not be shaken,but we will be refined as gold is refined in the fire.This is only to get rid of all traces of the world and the impurities that it places in our lives.Remember,if you are a true blood bought child of the Living God,we are not citizens of this world,our citizenship is in heaven,from whence also we look for the Saviour.
When the Holy Spirit speaks to your heart about things you should let go of,do not refuse Him,He's speaking to you for a very good reason.He wants to spend eternity with us,and anything that we are hanging on to becomes a hinderance to His work in our lives.We must live with reverence and godly fear here while we are patiently waiting for His return.
The scriptures tell us that if we judge ourselves,we will not be judged.Examine your life,see if there is anything at all there that is a hinderance to your walk of faith in Christ.If you find that there is,repent and forsake it you don't need it anyway.Live for God daily,holding to His nailed scared hand,rejecting the world and it's ways........In the Master's service.......JW
