"Antidote to Numbness and feelings of work on earth done"

  Be encouraged dear Doves, for whether He comes this weekend or another, yet He will come.  It may be this year, it may be next, yet do not let your hearts be troubled, for surely He will come. 
 
Do not allow the devil and his cohorts rob you of your delight to do His will.  Recognize that spiritual numbness is a ploy straight from the pit of hell.  Submit to God, resist the devil and he WILL flee from you.  Remember that the only weapons he has are those of lies and deception, and so he has as much influence over us as we allow ourselves to be deceived.  
 
So when Jesus says to work while it is yet day for the night comes when no man shall work, and then again, "Occupy till I come", He is saying to us that we are to keep doing whatever it is that we are doing until such time as we can no more continue.  
 
That time is not today, for though it is certainly dark around us - darker than it has ever been before - time is not yet over for us.
 
My brothers and sisters, press through that feeling of numbness, and occupy till He comes, for He will surely come.
 
And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come."
 
"Surely I come quickly."
 
"Even so, come, Lord Jesus."
 
Maranatha,
