Regret is But a Vapor

Among men, there are things that are referred to as truth.  In this place of testing, this place where wickedness is king, such a statement has a moment of viability.  For men will do what they do.  They will accept what they consider profitable.  And they will praise one another for obedience to the expectations of men.

But there is a place where such things called truth will leave all their hands empty.  They will be void of praise for the One who has allowed them freedom to do as their pleasure has demanded.  When Glory no longer allows the pleasure of men, they will have no praise for God.

They give gifts to one another for the sake of worthless profit.  But their hands will be full of regret, at the time of appearing before Him.

How can I help you, my brothers of flesh?  How can I inspire you to gather profit?  How can this tiny man urge you to fill up your gifts for Him?  How can these words displace the pleasure of man within the souls of my fellow man?

Please consider, with the greatest sobriety, how that moment will be.  Every man will see the Holy Angels bowing at the Glory of Christ Jesus.  Every man will witness those whose hands are filled with the Holy Works of God.  Every man will hear the praise, that holy praise, which is rightfully due to the One who has redeemed their souls.  And shame will fill those with empty hands.

Eternity, that great door of Life, will open for those who accept the Lord’s offer of humility.  Void of pride, they will enter His Holy Kingdom.  While the great assembly of eternal dead are ushered to their place of horror, the righteous will abound in joy.

Who are the righteous?  Are they those whose own works of pleasure has filled their holy hands?  No.  This is a fable of man.  The pride of man has promoted this lie.  The righteous are those who have sought the Living God.  It is God who has endowed them with righteous and eternal ways.  They have received!  They have not provided for themselves.

Such people will have what cannot be taken away.  For what belongs to God will remain forever.  But the pleasure, pride, accomplishments of the flesh, and desire for what brings temporary peace, will utterly be void of praise for the Living God.

Regret is a vapor.  Do not let your hands be filled with vapor when you appear before Him.  He offers you profit this very moment.  Be full.  Become profitable for He who is Life Eternal.  Let Him dress you according to His Holy Will.  Why would we remain naked all our days here?

“The City of Faith”

There is singing and dancing in the streets.

The City of the Faithful resounds with joy and triumph.

All houses are cleaned; prepared for the celebration to come.

Even while the enemy encamps all around its walls,

Preparing to lay siege.

There is an open feast within the City.

There is a feasting on the holy things the Holy Spirit of God brings to them.

Joy belongs to the people of the Lord!

Everlasting joy is brought to those who abide in His Holy Love.

Who will come against us?

Who will dare entice the Power of  The Living God among His holy ones?

They will see the Power of God displayed within their camp;

That camp of wicked intent.

For God’s people will pray.

God’s people will offer opportunity for His Glory to be displayed.

Let their enemies be foolish and darkened in their understanding.

God, Himself, will take them to task.

He will say, “Then they will know that I am God”.

Arise!

Let us be about our Father’s business!

Who, or what can come against us, that our God is not willing and able to counter?

Testify!

Pray ceaselessly with earnest heart and full of faith.

We will see our lives testify that our God is able to save.

Expect!

His eyes are intent on those who do His Holy will among men.

Beware, you who have minds to damage what belongs to God.

God never sleeps!

Display!

Show them no fear.

Your God is with you.

The very proof of His Love abides in your souls.

Amen!

The Living God is endlessly strong and willing;

To build our faith into mountainous strength,

Even within the very fires that threaten to consume us.

He has spoken.

He cannot lie.

His Holy name among us is Jesus, The Christ of God!

Those who put their trust in Him,

WILL NEVER FAIL!

Don’t Stop!

40 “And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, ‘If you will, you can make me clean.’ 41 Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, ‘I will; be clean.'” (Mark 1)

Man has a problem.  He kneals before Jesus.   He asks if God is willing to help him.  The answer comes: “I am willing”, and healing appears.

.The unjust judge. 

.The neighbor in bed. 

.”Do not worry little flock.  Your heavenly father knows you need these things.”

.”Jesus had pity on them.”

How many times do we read that God is willing?  How many times do we ask?  Still healing does not come.  Still suffering attends our everyday.  Still we ask.  Yet we do not see the hand of God move.

Shall we give up?  Shall we conclude that the power of God is not among us?  Shall we stop being Christians?  Shall we leave “The Faith”, and turn to empty religious worship?

Perhaps instead of asking for healing we got to ask to be taught how to ask.  And if still no healing comes, nor understanding to ask, perhaps it is our lot to endure.  Then let us ask for endurance!

In all things God is good!  Believe this, and you move from death to life.  Just don’t stop asking!  Just don’t stop believing!

I have come to refer to this world as a place of testing.  This is true.  God will test every heart that lives. Therefore allow yourself to be tested and approved; that you may bring glory to the Holy One.
