Hey
Dovey-Doves!!
Okay,
so the Lord didn’t shout for us to come up there to be where
He is….. on “my” time table!!
1. I
apologize for (let me use the ol’ saying) “putting God in a
box”….. shame on me! I’ve lived long enough to
know I should NEVER do that!!!
2. BUT….
That does not mean He’s not coming…..
3. HE
SURELY IS….. and SOON!!!!!
4. Our
redemption could literally be ANY DAY NOW!!! And in
fact, I believe it will be!!
5. Even
if….. BIG FAT “IF” the U.S. elections are still held….. and
someone’s elected (1/2 the country’s not going to be
happy!!) But consider even IF we’re here long enough
& this happens, then a certain someone who’s already in
office could still steal the show…. No one’s said he’s really
going anywhere come January!!! Can you see him really
handing the “baton” over to anyone?? Well…. Can
you?? I can’t!! Once someone gets a taste of
power…. & elevates oneself to think s/he’s above the law….
You know!!
6. Speaking
of which – did any of us ever think we’d see the day when
someone who’s crooked & a career criminal (this has
been PROVEN) & is running for high office and people
merely look the other way…… some 20 years+ ago, could this
have happened in our wildest imaginations??.... truly a sign
of LAWLESSNESS in these evil days!!
Jeremiah
8:6 seems to apply here: New Living
Translation
I listen to their
conversations and don't hear a word of truth. Is
anyone sorry for doing wrong? Does anyone say, "What a
terrible thing I have done"? No! All are running
down the path of sin as swiftly as a horse galloping into
battle!
7. Rabbit
trailing now…. But I “want to be” a much better Proverb 31
woman – and be efficient and frugal….. however I still find I
spend too much money (the HIGH COST of mere groceries these
days!!) Yet, I don’t think there’s any way I could
ah-hem, “misplace” 6 billion dollars!!! BILLION!!!!!
And sigh, yet, this is the very person whom half this country
or more will be voting for!!!! What indeed
has our world come to??!!!
Folks,
fellow Americans, we’ve “lived at ease in Zion” for too
long!! In most of our lifetimes, we’ve never been under
tyranny. Those days are soon over, I’m afraid. No,
I’m not talking about before the rapture, but soon (almost
immediately) after the rapture, the earth dwellers can kiss
their future lives & plans goodbye!! So much for
saving up a retirement account, right?!
These
past few days, I’ve had the opportunity to get together with
some of my Christian friends – and (though I enjoy their
companionship) even so, it left me feeling empty….. almost to
the point to where I’d wished we had not gotten together…..
reason is none of them are “watchers”. I’m not
saying we shouldn’t go on living, certainly we should.
But I just cannot get into seeing someone planning to marry
“next year” and start their lives and mission/ministry
together. Yeah, yeah, I know all about the work of
the Lord…. But do we consider the Lord of the work??
The
one gal (just turned 21) I know she’s excited about getting
married & all…. And it was awfully cute to hear the
chuckle in her voice …. In knowing she is loved by her “beau”,
I do love her so dearly….. and yet, 2 years ago when I spoke
of the rapture to her, I rec’d the biggest “doe in headlights”
LOOK!!!! Like she actually felt sorry for “poor
pitiful me” for believing in such * fairy tales *. No
exaggeration!!
People!!!
This girl & her family go to church EVERY WEEK & are
highly involved in church!!!! And it’s not a false
church or teaching at all. But sadly, any truth
about the rapture obviously gets swept under the carpet!!
I ran into her mother at a PROPHECY CONFERENCE some 15 +/-
years ago….. so surely they KNOW about the rapture.
"[Ye]
hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the
earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?"
(Luke 12:56)
Another
friend gets excited about seeing the grandkids start school in
“2 years”.
Ho
hum!! Is ANYONE looking for the Lord to come?? I
don’t mean in 100 years….. I mean RIGHT NOW???!!
NOTE:
not that any of these things are bad in themselves….. yet look
at this parable….. even though good things…. Because you see,
even the “good” things can keep us away from the Lord if we
put anything first before Him!! Comparatively to
many in the world, though I’ve had many, many uphill
challenges throughout my life, but again compared to many, I
currently live a good, pleasant life, and yet there’s not a
day go by that I’m not yearning to be WITH HIM!! And
abiding in my real home! I’m sick of sin, both in the
world & in my own mortal body. And when I go home, I
hope to go the old fashioned way – like Elijah did!!
/smile! {just so no one will think that’s a death
wish….no sirree…. It’s a rapture desire!!
Smile!}
Okay,
about that parable….. to remind us when the Lord tells us it’s
time to go, let us QUICKLY lay everything down!!! Our
hopes, our dreams, our relationships, our businesses, our
jobs….. our homes, our big ol’ long to-do lists……
EVERYTHING!!!! “Lord Jesus, please do not let
anything here detain or distract us. Please do not let
us look back for anything or even anyone. We don’t want
to be even a little like Mrs. Lot. And help us to get
dressed and stay dressed in our white wedding garments.
You’ll be coming soon. Let us be unattached to this world,
clinging to You, always watching and praying to be counted
worthy to escape all and to stand before You! Amen!”
The
Parable of the Wedding Feast
MATTHEW
22 And Jesus
answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2 “The
kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a
marriage for his son, 3 and sent
out his servants to call those who were invited to the
wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4 Again, he
sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are
invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted
cattle are killed, and all things are ready.
Come to the wedding.”’ 5 But they
made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm,
another to his business. 6 And the
rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully,
and killed them. 7 But when
the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent
out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up
their city. 8 Then he
said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who
were invited were not worthy. 9 Therefore
go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the
wedding.’ 10 So those
servants went out into the highways and gathered together
all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall
was filled with guests.
11 “But when
the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who
did not have on a wedding garment. 12 So he
said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a
wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13 Then the
king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him
away, and[a] cast him
into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.’
14 “For
many are called, but few are chosen.”
I’ve
got my antenna up!!
And
am hoping for “take off” at some point this month….
And I HOPE: November latest (I’m not saying for sure,
I’m just anxiously watching, waiting & HOPING for this
very fall season!!)
Say
with me: Even so COME Lord Jesus!!!!
P.S.
A big thank you to both Herold & Johan!! {Johan, I’m
a “sister” in Christ! /smile! That’s okay,
not everybody knows….} Thank you SO much, you blessed me
with your letter.
I
finally found time to go back & read some past Dove
letters & found gems from both of you. Thanks
again. Also again to you, too, Linda. And Robin
W…. I finally found your letter as well. My apologies,
it was a mere oversight if I’ve missed anyone b/c I admit I
did not go back & read all letters. (a matter of
“time”) Thanks to all of you!
Another
P.S. >> betcha’ some may recall that LAST year,
BOTH the pope ß
uncapitalized ON PURPOSE!!) * AND *
the Queen said that was to be THE LAST CHRISTMAS!!!!!
You
can google/research about it. Supposedly the Queen
stumbled over the words … then felt prodded, like she wasn’t
supposed to say that & did another “take” in which she did
not bring it up again. Even so, makes you surely wonder
if the world heads “knew something”!!
Some
day soon, this will be my last time to say: MARANATHA!!
Maybe
even THIS time!!!!
