Love you all, praying for you,
I just love God's Word. It says some crazy stuff sometimes. Things that are so unnatural, and unnaturally understood, because spiritual always supercedes the natural. It is beyond what the human intellect can imagine - just like heaven and the things of the eternal reign of the Almighty God. God tells us things in His Word that bring insight into heaven and eternity, and how His Kingdom operates, that alter our perspective now, so we can alter our behavior here. He tells us things that are important, lasting versus temporary, eternal versus temporal. Some years ago God revealed a verse that I had never seen before - Revelation 5:6-10, especially verse 8. Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. He went and took the scroll from the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls of incense, which are the prayers of God's people. And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open it's seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be kings and priests unto our God, and they will reign on the earth. This passage is about the Lamb of God who was slain, Jesus Christ, who gave His life willingly to pay the penalty of our sins, and to purchase us back to God. All these things will happen, when God wraps up the story already written for human history, and sets it into motion at His appointed time. Those things are yet to come, but what are we to do now? #1) Put your faith in the LORD, Jesus Christ, believe that He paid the price for your sin, and commit your life fully to Him. and #2) - Pray. Pray the prayers that God wants you to pray. Just ask Him. He will tell you. Don't just pray for what you want - ask Him what He wants you to pray - prayers that He wants to preserve in those bowls for the appointed time. Review the Prayer Packet of PRISM Topics. Revelation 5:8 gives us an insight into an eternal truth! Your prayers are not wasted, they mean something, they are important, they are remembered, God will use them at the last day. He hears you, He hasn't forgotten, He will forever destroy the works of the devil, and remove the wicked, while those who have been made righteous by His Son Jesus Christ, will rule and reign with Him forever. Who would trade a Hall of Fame NFL career, just to be the best player in the 2nd grade? It would be foolish. But that is what people do when they live their life for the mere 70 years of breath that they get in this body, and ignore the body and the life that will last for all of eternity. It's not how you live down here, it's what you will live like up there that is infinitely more important. Praying that you will live your life with eternity in view, not just what you can see and feel down here. And praying that your prayers - which are never forgotten, but stored up to be answered fully, those prayers that He directs, would be a priority. That you would remember, you are not praying for nothing, God is not ignoring the prayers that He has put in your heart and on your tongue to pray... they have eternal purpose. He will bring to pass everything He promised. Praying that you will pray - like you are filling the bowls. Praying His will, by His Spirit, so His purpose will prevail, in your generation, and for all of eternity. Love you all, dad
