Thank you, Neil. I was blown away by the video clip. The guy was saying all the things I think. My perception of Almighty God. Without saying too many words - he encapsulated the FREEDOM that true faith brings. I am a damaged human being. I have unbidden thoughts that creep into my head. Like a fast bowler has connected the ball with my head. I sometimes say things that are totally divorced from whom I aspire to be.
I'm not scared of everlasting hell fire. I'm not scared that Almighty God is forever glowering at me in anger and constant, mind-bendingly boring judgement. Anyone who still perceives GOD in these finite, human terms, still haven't quite got it. The challenge of "choice" .... freedom of will. Wowzer. It's a painful challenge - and one fraught with danger at every turn. The cryptic nature of the Bible is testament to how much respect and trust Almighty God has in us. He has not made it easy for us. Our Christian predecessors had it way worse.
I am most scared of letting God down. I know He loves me and I will be caught up in the Rapture. Of this, I have no doubt whatsoever. Not because I am a fabulously saintly saint. I just know God loves me. Warts and all. I am scared of disappointing my Abba Father God. And it's not a scared of any punishment - physical or spiritual - but scared of hurting my Creator. Causing Him pain.
I loved the narrators honesty and depth of Holy Spirit knowledge. But - I tell you what.... repentance can happen in a second. There are no atheists in fox-holes - as the old saying goes. When the plop hits the fan and the signs foretold in the scripture, begin to happen.....Oy Vey. There are going to be over-countable, last minute beggings to LORD Jesus. And, like the thief on the cross...those last minute repentants are going to be in heaven. True story! It's the stubbornly unrepentant who are left to be tested and tormented. UNTIL they repent.
A fantastic video, Neil. I was hypnotised by the depth of the narrators relationship with God.
