As I was praying to the Lord what He wanted me to write today, I kept sensing that He wants me to encourage you. If you're like me and you've been watching for His return for awhile now, it's easy to get frustrated and even disappointed on the rapture roller coaster that never seems to end! We get into this trouble when we rely on man to give us dates instead of just keeping our eyes on Jesus. We also get ourselves into trouble when we constantly keep watching the news and see all the evil growing and growing and we allow our enemy to whisper doubts in our ears.
It's easy to forget how much the Lord loves us. I know, for myself not having an earthly father and growing up insecure, it is often difficult to actually believe Jesus loves me. We each know our own faults and shortcomings and let's face it, we often wonder who, in their right mind, would love us? But the truth of the matter is, God adores us. The love of God is completely different than human love, which is always conditional and selfish. God loves us just because, and it has nothing to do with our character, qualities, or actions. In this day and age when there are so many threats surrounding us, it's important to remember that, because if we can truly believe in God's love, we will not be afraid.
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 1 John 4:17-18
If you look around you at the encroaching evil and are afraid, then God's love is not perfected in you, which means you harbor some doubt about God's love. If you truly understood and believed in His Love for you, you would have NO fear. Why? Because that kind of powerful love allows no evil or harm to touch the object of that love. If we could only grasp the deapth, width, breadth and height of God's love!
I watch a pastor on You tube who has a prophetic ministry. I've been watching him for years and I know he hears from the Lord. Recently the Lord gave him several Words to extend to the Bride, those who will be raptured, so I will pass them on here;
First of all, the Lord said His love and grace are Outlandish! This pastor said he would have never used that word, but the Lord was clear. Outlandish is something strange or bizarre or alien, which means that the Lord's love for us is something so immense, so immeasurable that the human mind cannot comprehend.
Other words from the Lord I believe you'll find comforting
"I have kept you in my heart until the end"
"I have already gathered you, you just don't see it until you get to the house."
"As for my bride, I say, Come up here!"
"Keep looking for the rising of the Son, for the rapture is near, even at the door."
We see the evil rising around us. We see signs of the coming Tribulation already being formed. If you know your Bible, there is no doubt that we are close to the rapture. So, what should we do now?
The Lord wants you to trust in His Love. No matter what comes, no matter what you see. Trust in His Love and that He is coming for you!
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:35-39
Get up each day, give thanks and praise to God, and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in your tasks. One of these days, (and soon) that trumpet will sound and our Prince will rescue us from this evil world!
Maranatha!
