LET ALL THE SAINTS OF GOD SAY HALLELUIA!
What a wonderful post Donna Cothran posted yesterday! May all Honor and Glory and power and praise return to the the one who sits on the throne and to His Son Jesus Christ. Indeed we are about to ascend to our bright home in Heaven. Ooooh! i can't wait to gaze upon the beauty of my creator for all days of eternity.
 
I WISH TO GO UP THERE AND KNEEL BEFORE HIS THRONE AND WORSHIP HIM!
Indeed i cannot find anything that can please me here on this earth but i am not saying that He takes me out of the world before the rapture. No. But may His will be done and i will be happy to live and witness and be taken up at the rapture.
 
Chrsit Jesus told Simon Peter that satan had asked for permission to sift him as wheat. But the good news is that Jesus had prayed for him that his faith was not going to fail but instead when he stood the sifting he would return and strengthen his brethrens. What about the servant of God Job? He too was tested. And what about the Father of Faith Abraham? He too stood the testing. Ok! AS I MENTIONED EARLIER IN ONE OF MY POSTS, CHRISTIANS ARE GOING THROUGH A MAJOR SIFTING RIGHT BEFORE THE RAPTURE HAPPENS, BUT OUR GOD IS FAITHFUL AND WILL SEE US THROUGH THIS SIFTING JUST AS PETER STOOD FIRM. BUT WE MUST LET CHRIST FIGHT FOR US. The battle is not ours but the Lords, we just have to make ourselves available and God will win for us because He is JEHOVAH NISSI THE WINNING FLAG. AMEN!
 
No one is righteous and perfect, it is only God. Christians should learn from Simon Peter, even though he was close to Jesus and walked with Him he stumbled greatly. He denied Jesus three times. I think Peter had backslidden. Denying Christ Jesus is a serious matter which Peter did But Jesus forgave him. THIS SHOWS US THAT WE CANNOT MAKE IT ALONE AND THROUGH OUR OWN EFFORTS IT IS PURELY BY GOD'S GRACE.HALLELUIA! When Lord Jesus was walking on water, Peter asked if he could come also and Jesus told him "come". But did Peter make it. No. I beleive a storm rose between where Christ was and where he was, and because Christ was not in his sight again because of the in between storm Peter must have sought to return back to the boat instead of going forward to meet the Lord but before he sank he called out "LORD SAVE ME, I AM SINKING". This also shows a sign of backsliding. But the good news is that Jesus reached out for him before the waters could swallow him. When we lieave the ways of GOD and want to return back we may even never reach back and since we have refused to go forward we may sink unless we CALL ON JESUS like what Peter did and he was saved. Have we called on the Lord to save us when we are in trouble? He is faithful and just and He will rescue us.
To all those who are in trouble and afflicted say this "MY HELP WILL COME FROM THE LORD, WHO MADE THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, AND WHAT CAN A MERE MAN DO TO ME?
 
Those who wait upon the Lord their strength shall be renewed and they shall mount up like wings and they shall not get weary. LET US WAIT UPON THE LORD HE WILL SURELY COME ON HIS APPOINTED TIME.
ISAIAH 48:9 "For my own name's sake i delay my wrath: for the sake of my praise i hold it back......." DANIEL 12:10 Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand but only the wise will understand. THOSE WHO TRUST IN THE LORD ARE LIKE MOUNT ZION WHICH CAN NEVER BE SHAKEN.
 
AS LONG AS THE SUN RISES, JESUS CHRIST WILL ONE DAY AND VERY SOON RETURN FOR HIS SPOTLESS BRIDE. "PLEASE HOLY FATHER DO NOT LEAVE US BEHIND WHEN YOU SEND YOUR SON TO COME FOR HIS BRIDE AND PLEASE FILL US WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT SO THAT WE CAN ALWAYS WORSHIP YOU IN TRUTH AND IN SPIRIT AND ALSO MAKE US RAPTURE READY. IN THE GREAT NAME OF YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST I PRAY AND BELIEVE. AMEN AND AMEN."
 
Hosanna to Christ Jesus, Lifting Him higher because besides Him there is no other.
TAKE HEART ALL OF YOU BECAUSE WE HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS NO END. HALLELUIA!
Maranatha and i love you all!
