FOREVER STANDING IN THE FACE OF GOD

HOW LONG IS FOREVER? FOREVER!

Psalm 33:11-12
11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
The people He has chosen as His own inheritance. NKJV

Psalm 41:11-12

1 By this I know that You are well pleased with me,

Because my enemy does not triumph over me. 

12 As for me, You uphold me in my integrity,

And set me before Your face forever.  NKJV

Psalm 17:15
15 As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness;
I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.
NKJV

Seeing God's face is being in His righteousness. Jesus said this in His prayer:

John 17:24-26

24 Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. 26 And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."    NKJV

What a wonderful example of the "love" that was spoken about by Jesus to the Father.

"O righteous Father, the world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me." ".........that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."
That is truly a "personal" relationship.

When the Holy Spirit invades our lives, not by being pushy but by extending the love of the Father through Jesus, that open invitation to "Come" is announced. And those who worship the Father in spirit and truth recognize it's sound.

By receiving Jesus into our hearts; we receive even more of Jesus and the love of the Father. We are told in 1 John 4:7-8....Dear friends, let us practice loving each other; for love comes from God and those who are loving and kind show that they are the children of God, and that they are getting to know Him better; 8 But if a person isn't loving and kind, it shows that he doesn't know God----for God is love.

Choosing God everyday is choosing to stay in the face of God. We come boldly to His throne of grace given to us by His Son Jesus. In choosing Him, we find our destiny. In choosing Him we reside in His peace and comfort. In choosing Him, we stay away from apostasy and any who desire to take Jesus out of the equation. The only way to the Father is through Jesus.

 "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star." 

 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. 

 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. 

 He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." 

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. 

 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen. (Revelation 22:16-21)

Our prayer right now, at this moment, should be:

Father, thank You for Jesus, the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright and Morning Star. To stand in the face of God by the blood of Jesus and declare our trust in Him alone. And together as the Bride of Christ, may we all stand together in the Unity of Jesus as one with the Father.

The Spirit and the bride ( we the believer's in Jesus) say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come, and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

"Yes, I am coming soon."

Amen, Come, Lord Jesus.

The grace of of the Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen.

Being a family member of God our Father is looking out for the brother's and sister's not yet in the family, but surely asking a blessing for them who have not come as of this writing. For God truly knows those who are His. 

2 Timothy 2:19

19 Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."   NIV

In our joy within His presence, we desire to illuminate His goodness to others. As those who are of His household, we point others out to God who may be far from Him, yet He has purposefully placed them on our hearts to ask Him for their salvation. For whatever influence we may hold, still the One who holds heaven and earth, and cast into hell, is the One we lift in praise of our lips that others will know that there is a God of Israel and He is in our hearts.

Our confidence is knowing He is real, He is foremost the Creator and the lover of our souls. May we all thirst for Him who refreshes the weary, strengthens the feeble and restores our paths that are the straight. We shall be the well watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not. (Isaiah 58:11)….May the ancient ruins be rebuilt and  may the age-old foundations of [buildings that have laid waste for ]for many generations; that we shall be called Repairer of Broken Walls,  Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

It is to His pleasure that we give praise. For He is honorable, the Faithful, the One Who receives our words that were spoken by Him long ago.

It is in righteousness that we stand before Him. It is by submission to stay before Him and it is adoration that we lift His Name on high.

For He surely came into my life and made me whole again. He came and brought light to see the path of the narrow which leads to a closer walk with Him. He came to set me free from that which amounted to nothing but emotions out of control and brought me HOME to dwell forever in His presence.

Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen.
