I am really on pins and needles here, you know? 

For the past few days I have noticed a pattern repeating itself over and over.  When one of the Doves posts something they feel The Holy Spirit led them to post, they will find another Dove has received a similar message. supplemental

Here some of the examples I am speaking of,

(Now I am not saying you have to read all of them, but they are there in case someone does not understand what I am saying)

There are many more posts that could be mentioned for further examples, however, I think my point is made.

Somehow, well not somehow, but divinely spurred, we are all miraculously digging into God's Word deeper and deeper to find truth, inspiration, courage and I sincerely hope we are seeing what's happening.

Here we are, worlds apart, we are of all different ethnicities, genders, ages, cultures, "social backgrounds", from all nations, and all worshiping the same Father in Heaven.  Not only that, but we have the incredible privilege to experience the filling of the Holy Spirit together as if we were in that same room upstairs, where the Disciples were, many years ago.  We pray, we encourage each other, we brake  bread, symbolically, together, we are waiting just like they did in those days long ago when Jesus told them to also wait.  The same passages of Scriptures keep popping up all over the world as if to reinforce that we are on the right track here.

Acts Chapter 1 (this particular passage has been mentioned a few times lately, don't you think?  Yet we see new lessons each time).  We are doing good people!!  I love this!! =)
⁴And, being assembled together with [them], commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, [saith he], ye have heard of me.

⁵For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

⁶When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?  (Here they asked, just like we are asking)

⁷And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.   (not exactly what they wanted for an answer but He answered them)

⁸But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (See how He comforts them....it's okay He says, you won't be alone)

⁹And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

¹⁰And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; (they were looking up...looking up!!!watching Jesus go up)(we are looking up too!!)

¹¹Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

¹²Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

¹³And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas [the brother] of James.

¹⁴These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

¹⁵And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,) (120...not savvy with numbers so not sure why it is important to know there were 120 people together, why not 150? (help!!)

Now, years and years later, here we are looking up too.  Did any of you get approached by "two men in white apparel", asking why you are looking up?  I will be surprise if anyone has or will, and it wouldn't be to tell us not too look up but indeed just the opposite.  We are  to look up to see Him come down, just as they said He would, this same Jesus, this same manner!!

Do you feel the fire in you guys? don't you feel like shouting with joy? ...I am so glad you guys can't see me right now, I am a fine mess, laughing, crying, it's midnight here in San Diego, my kids are sleep, so are my cat and dog and here I am feeling the most incredible natural high...I don't even know how to describe it. 

This is how I want to feel at all times.  But I admit that the enemy is trying so hard to rob us of these blessings, the darts are coming full force.  He uses fears, finances, sicknesses, anxieties, desperations...you name it, to distract us.  But he can't, no matter how he tries, he can't win against Him who is in us.  We will not lose focus, OK???.  I know that many of us are going through deep valleys of sorrows, physical and mental, but I tell you, deep in my heart I know and you know...it won't be long now.  Jesus told us to comfort one another and fight that good fight.  You feel it too don't you??  We are close, very close.  Thank You Lord Jesus, come soon!

Thanks for letting me share my joys and sorrows with you all, dear Doves.  Love In Christ Jesus.

See you all soon, and Jesus says He loves you!
