Waiting is not believing. Certainly Jesus’ Return is worth the wait, but that is inconsistent with the Will of the Father and the direction we were given regarding preparation and duties agrarian. I could sell or give away everything, go find a nice shady spot and watch the skies as this world spins out of control, but who does that serve. To have faith is to understand that every person matters and God is long suffering against wickedness that we may go locate and educate those who have yet to come to Grace.
This demonstration is the greatest reflection of Love found in the options of man’s accomplishments. Jesus did the highest human achievement as God and laid down His Perfect and Powerful Life for our benefit. There is no greater expression of Love. Perhaps a short second is thanking Jesus for the sacrifice by doing the same for those He loves that they too may find the benefits of redemption we have already received. I don’t care if you believe on Jesus or not for this analysis as there are few who would disagree with His demonstration and sacrifice as the greatest representation of selflessness found in the history of mankind.
I don’t have a say in what you do for God. Certainly I am anointed with the responsibility to shepherd those whom I have been given but the decision even for those in my care is theirs. That being said these are the waning moments in the fourth quarter where our stories will all be written based upon the decisive actions we take in the following days. What is God asking you or directing you to do that you obviously are putting off for the sake of completing some other self oriented goals? Oh, you say that He hasn’t told you of His expectations for you, but I noticed you have conveniently neglected to inquire. Rather the bulk of those who have discussed this know exactly what God expects and have determined to put it off to the last possible moments hoping for another charge.
Now soon, we will have to step as far away from the world as God will allow while remaining in the mix of spreading the Gospel, watching the fortress, armoring up and make intercessory prayer for the World. But as we near Christ’s return our focus will determinatively turn toward the Health of the Body of Christ and Preparation for the Coming Kingdom. Sorry the Millennium is going to be the final day in God’s fulfillment of Mankind’s outcome. The thousand years of peace where we get to follow Christ and survive abundantly as all powers and principalities are placed under His Footstool by God the Father, in preparation for the endless reign to follow White Throne Judgment. This may be the only time any of us may have the choice to conduct sacrificial works for Christ. Since we are going to be ruling and reigning with Christ in the Millennium where are the Treasures we’ve gathered stored for our collection?
There is much to think about and much to do or not do as the decision befits you. My Father said, “No matter how much you talk about doing something only the things you really want to do will ever get done”. To my knowledge my Father never accepted Christ as savior and spent his life serving his own desires for this world, neglecting the next. I will not be caught on that side of the coin flip. For me and my Family we will serve the Lord our God. IN Jesus name, may I serve Him to the Glory of His name with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. ”
