Waves of Glory

 


Being directed to the beatitudes, one has in mind of the kingdom of God.  His word of prophecy was given  through Jesus and the manifestation of the Spirit of the Lord God upon Jesus, where He was and still is anointed to preach the good tidings. Yes that is the Gospel to you and to me. He is so much more! He is majesty on high, the Great I Am in our midst, the Open Door, Shepherd of the sheep and He is truth. Revelation 19:16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.  A title indeed, earned by His completed work and victory on the Cross. ( Philippians 2:5-11) The basis for His consummating the victory over the Dragon and his allies will be the highlight as He rides with His saints, leaving heaven to return to earth to stop the antichrist with his ruling with destruction.

Will you know this, you born again citizen of the kingdom of God through Jesus?

Only you and I or those who are born again unto that kingdom of God will abide there and will know the language there. For that to occur, it was great things planned and put in motion, that which would be hurled against the Son of God. And we saw that in the New Testament as in the book of Matthew, Luke, and Mark! Great attitudes of hate would be not only heard but also seen. In that, Jesus on the cross, giving up His body and by shedding His blood completely satisfied God’s requirement: Hebrews 10:12-14 NKJV But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

What a moment, what great trials and pain where torture was the rule of the day!

 And to us it opened up the gates of Heaven for anyone that would believe in Him John 3:16: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the  only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he Who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen that they have been done in God.

In HIM, we have the benefit of life eternal.  1 John 5:10-12 NKJV 10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. 11 And this is the testimony; that God has given us eternal life and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.    

Romans 2:6-11 Amp. Bible 6 for He will render to every man according to his works [justly, as his deeds deserve]. 7 To those who by patient persistence in well-doing [spring from piety] seek [unseen but sure] glory and honor and [the disobedient to the Truth  but responsive to wickedness, there will be indignation and wrath. 9 [And] there will be tribulation & anguish & calamity & constraint for every soul of man who [habitually] does  evil, the Jew first & also the [Gentile]. 11 For God shows no partiality [undue favor or unfairness; with Him one man is not different from another.

 

 Our answer is in Jesus from Matthew 11:29-30 He said “take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart….you will find rest for your soul. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

AND The Holy Spirit Prepares Us for Kingdom Victories Today: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints---

1.   No aliens: that is, no unrighteous will be permitted to enter after the judgment & cleansing by the Lord

2.   John 4:21; 23 “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain or in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit & truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

This is reverence to, only homage rendered to God and the ascended Christ; The glory of God illuminates the city…there is no night there so there is a fade less day; It is a place of joy for the nations will enjoy its beauty….

We are not to serve the creation, but serve our Creator Almighty God! Proverbs 15:24 The way of life winds upward for the wise, that he may turn away from hell below. …Proverbs 14:16 A wise man fears & departs from evil, but a fool rages & is self-confident. Colossians 3:1-2 If you then raised with Christ seek those things above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. Set your mind on the things of above ( as those things of God), for His glory!

 

We are to equally demonstrate the Gospel as we defend it against error! In speaking, or in any action, is the Gospel demonstrated in us for God’s glory?Ephesians2:4-7 NKJV 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us a alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

The glories of Christ’s kingdom dominion and authority may be experienced and enjoyed in the here and now: The outpouring of the Spirit of God is a sign that Jesus has been exalted to the right hand of the Father. Pentecost is a sign that Jesus is Lord. What an amazing future we have in HIM! It was the beginning .....to .....ENJOY WAVE AFTER WAVE OF GOD’S GRACE.

The Lord Gives Grace and Glory according to John 1:16  And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He had declared Him. It is God Who met us at the point of our need in the Person of Jesus Christ. This is Jesus in all His power, and His provision.

True light does not come to every man but only to those who receive Jesus. It is the power of God released!

Now imagine such great light. Imagine an Aurora Borealis with its depths, and heights, lengths and widths………now imagine those great waves of light washing over your nation, over your home and your family. Imagine the beauty and majesty of God on high and His glory covering the earth! Imagine every word Jesus spoke being spoken through your own lips. Imagine the power of God invading earth in every cubby hole, nook and cranny.

Habakkuk 2:4 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

Now meditate on the word of God in you, the truth, yes that knowledge of Jesus Christ in you the Lord of glory. We glory in Him.We glory in His resurrection. We Glory in His life without spot or wrinkle. We glory in Him Who gain heaven for us, to know our Father the Creator of all!

Now again think on every power Scripture in your heart….Jesus is illuminating by the Holy Spirit power to bring light to the world that will have length, depth, height and width. Grace and glory…that light that dances and moves with power of God. And it is settling on you even now, you who believe, who fight with faith, standing your ground against the wiles of the enemy for your day is here and the glory has risen upon you. Yes, the glory is covering the earth….and see what happens next!

 Are you ready?

Seasons

Voice of Prayer
1 Thessalonians 5:1-6  BUT concerning the times and the seasons brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us no sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.

Seasons come and go. We watch with anticipation for the flowers first bloom, even when the temps are barely able to climb into the fifties. Then we watch for the rays to cast longer shadows for the lengthening days and by the fourth of July we expect to see the days grow shorter and the warmth to turn to a shiver that travels from the face and down our spine. It is most certainly the right time to reach for that jacket or even a hooded jacket to keep the moist off the glasses to see clearly while taking that "short" walk around the yard or the neighborhood!

In 1 Thessalonians 5, we are reminded to keep watch as the one who believes the Gospel, the one who belongs to Christ Jesus and not to give way to a careless attitude where one is unconcerned about the seasons. Keeping in mind to keep God's word and foremost for that instruction leads us through God's grace and to the light and truth.  Our security is to be in the Lord and not in money or things or even in other people! It is not be centered in what we do but that the Lord is in what we do!
Was thinking about people who prepared for their children to go back to school. For in this new year, the parent or parents make certain the child or children have new clothes that fit, new shoes to start the year off right and to have a good outlook on their school learning. Had seen these teenagers interviewed this morning on their way back to school within the Portland, Oregon school district today and one teen said he thought he should be back at school for he was bored at home!

A friend we have known only a few years has a little one going to kindergarten, and we do not see them really anymore for they live in another community some miles away. BUT she had posted the child's look for school and her smile on Facebook and the little one's face spoke volumes about her starting school. Am thinking that the child will do well in her new surroundings indeed!

Preparation is always important. The Lord will come as we see in verse 3. There will be people who will be destroyed. Now no one likes that talk, right? Yet the Bible is firm on it. For we are told those who put their trust into things will not have opportunity to repent. For truly today is the day of salvation, to repent and turn toward the Lord God. If we keep putting off God, then why should we expect Him to answer when the "destruction" comes?


The Lord will come and many will see His coming manifested. He will come when they are not expecting Him to appear.
In the flood, Noah spent some hundred years to build and then the drops fell from the sky. Rain came down of which no one had seen before ever. And people did not repent! They did not stop what they were doing to heed God and the warning!

Jesus will return. And the warning is given to us that we make the changes needed to heed His plan and not ours.
Suddenly, yes destruction is suddenly, and will happen.  As a pregnant woman, that woman in travail (those labor pains) will grown consistently till the child appears. So too, the Lord Jesus has spoken of His coming.  And for any event, large or small people like to prepare. As for going back to school, preparation is key to having order and provide the needed supplies your child may need to be instructed in that which will aid them as adults.
For the Christian, the believer, we too must be equipped and watchful.
To be sober-minded, we keep awake and alert to the devices of the enemy. There was an event of a hurricane that was forecasted to hit the Texas coast last week and people were gathering their plywood on Friday and the storm hit Saturday. (seriously if you can trust the news on TV anymore) I wondered why many took it so lightly and not get out while the getting out would have been good to do! We should maintain vigilance to watch and understand what the Lord would speak to us for safety and keeping close to His heart when alarms are being sounded!

I know not how people live on the coastlines like they do. And many certainly continue to build in the pathways of destructive storms. If you look at the maps of all the former hurricanes they surely made their marks to be read about decades later. Still people will build in that same pathway!
If I am the Christian, and am told to live in that expectancy, am I doing that?

As the parent prepared for the child or children to return to school, should not we hold that place of action and be active in character to keep the Lord our priority? Do we leave church, and go somewhere to indulge in a meal? Do we leave a prayer service and go indulge in something hidden with the dark of night?  (Well, I took care of God's thing, now I am doing my thing?)

Seasons most certainly appear. They come and they go. And being ready should be important to each of us. Observation to keep watch, is the action in full view of others, that Jesus is our Lord. He is Lord, morning, noon and night. He is Lord when we eat at a restaurant. He is Lord when we buy groceries or when we drop by to get those special cinnamon rolls our kids like to eat. Jesus is Lord when we retire at night.  The seasons, well they last some three months....and with that we experience the height and depth of a cold and icy season, the extreme of a hot dog day summer or the extreme of a wind of 75 miles an hour in the dark of night.
Whatever our lives, they should reflect the life which when looked upon could be seen in a 24-hour period in the full blaze of a well-lighted day!

Just like knowing preparation is important for your children to return to school in good form, so too, we should be well prepared with an expectancy that the Lord is coming for His church, the believer's. What we do in any 24 -hour period should be for full display that we belong to Christ Jesus, with no if's, and's or but's about it. Belonging to the Lord is speaking His language, knowing His heart always and being prepared when He says "move"!
And then do it!

I pray today for those living in Texas and the children going back to school. I pray people would know in Jesus' name that power of destruction and that we should know God who keeps us in safety when we chase after Him, seeking Him while He may found and knowing there is a day coming when the Lord will come suddenly. Will people be prepared to know His coming? Today Lord is the day of salvation and may people heed the call to repentance. We pray today for children returning to school and may they be in safety and protection. May they be far from gun violence and far from the angry man. May people come to know the Lord Jesus and move in the places He has purpose for them. May they truly know His love and be bound to His plan of good. Lord we are thankful for those who are the lines in Texas in search, in rescue, in clean-up and and restoration. We pray today for hearts to be encouraged and show us who we might help and send money that would be the most useful. WE BELIEVE FOR THE GOOD TO COME TO TEXAS AND MAY THEY RISE OUT OF THE DESTRUCTION WATERS KNOWING BETTER IS AHEAD! LORD THANK YOU FOR LOVE AND SAFETY IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING. AMEN!
