SOUL DANCE (excerpt) - Any Day Now!
by Tonja Taylor Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done.--Rev. 22:12, ESV My dear mother transitioned to Heaven a few months ago, and the LORD gave us favor to sell the house. I have learned many things through the process, especially since the LORD is also moving us to another state. This has helped us--especially me--in being ready to go "any day now". My understanding is deepening of how we need to be ready for the return of King Jesus ANY DAY NOW! Any day now, He could arrive to take all of us who truly believe in Him back to Heaven--leaving those on earth to face things more terrible than we want to think about! The signs in Biblical prophecy of His (very) soon return are there. As Covenant people, we do not fear the situations on earth, for we are seated in Heavenly places, above the junk. Hallelujah! But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive
together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. - Eph. 2:4-7, ESV
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. - Revelation 20:6, KJV
We just have to remember and rehearse that daily, preferably out loud--to remind our souls (mind/will/emotions) and the enemy that we know who we are and where we are seated, and that, according to the Word of God, we can have a very blessed life here, no matter what's going on around us!
The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. - John 10:10, NLT
So, may the LORD help us to realize first, the honor and privilege of being born (like Queen Esther!) for such a time as this, and second, to live a consecrated, committed, joyful and thankful life to the glory of our Father God, Who gave Christ Jesus for us, so we would be saved from hell and have Heaven--even Heaven on earth
That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.--Deuteronomy 11:21, KJV
Quick prayer: Dear Father God, we know Your Son, King Jesus our Savior, is returning any day now! Please help us to be faithful to read Your life-changing Word every day; to talk to you in prayer about our joys and concerns; to worship You; to serve with our time, talents, and treasure; and to listen for Your voice to guide us to a deeper relationship with You. Help us to bring You glory with our lives, that others may see the real Jesus, that the world longs to see and needs so desperately. We receive Your help, dear LORD. In Your mighty Name, Amen!
