Dar John and Doves,

 

Dar Renee M,

 

It goes WITHOUT says the tremendous value of God's Revelation of the  Rapture In  the study of  Tabernacles that you laid before

us on the table of our hearts. 

We ALL grow in our appreciation of the Spirit of discernment and what is of God as we are tested! 

 I was thoroughly enriched by your studies. 

 But I know my  God only too well to know that it was all just "too" compact.  Our God withholds, some things,

for the purpose of accomplishing eternal values within us;   "Faith"!   

You said you misunderstood the "timing" of the revelation to be imminent, but that was not what God was saying.

Faith sees He Who is Invisible and is content to let God be God.  He may put us on a plate of humiliation to test our resolve and motives.   Our feelings don't matter one whit. It doesn't matter one whit if anyone hears another word from our heart. What matters is upholding God's Honor by speaking the truth as He tells it. The results we offer up as a pleasing sacrifice to His great heart.

You are a testimony to all of us.

I once had the grim task of telling a brother, preacher, that He didn't know anything as he ought to know, that God can confound

us anytime he chooses to make sure it is HE who gets all the glory thru our pitiful lump of clay! 

The preacher was quite brilliant, and he KNEW it, but to this day refuses to be corrected or humbled. 

You, on the other hand, have laid your heart bare before God and before your brethren and we ALL love you and uphold you

as a GREAT example of the Faith of Christ! 

I believe it's a great honor go thru the valley feeling that "underneath" are the Everlasting Arms.

 

It was said of Watchman Nee that after speaking so fervently for his Lord for many years, in the end he was called upon

to suffer at the cruel hands of Satan by having his tongue pulled out!  God saw, and God's Grace was sufficient thru such horror.

 

When we see such as that testimony, our afflictions, our selfishness,  causes us to weep that God is so loving and patient towards us and continues to use us for His Purpose and to His Glory!

 

Dear sister, we love you and we need those GREAT thoughts from our Lord from you!

 

Shalom & Maranatha!
