It is a very
interesting time to be alive, and looking toward God. Seeing what He
is doing in our world. It is also not real hard to tell that we are
in the last days, as far as the Bible dictates. Don't freak out on me
now. Then again, if you are not prepared to meet Jesus Christ, then
freaking out might not be a bad idea . I have spent years of my life
knowing very little about Jesus.
However, know that
I am getting a personal relationship with Him life is becoming very
cool to live. He is a totally awesome person to have relations with.
It is safe to say that He is the life of the party. Have you ever
thought about how many festivals, and parties that the Israelite
people attended? Even while they were in bondage in the land of
Egypt. God told Moses to go to Pharaoh, and command him to let His
people go, so that they may hold a feast unto God. There was always
some ceremony going on.
It took me a while
to see this. I was always thinking that I would probably get bored in
heaven. I could see myself praising God for an eternity. Although, I
wasn't factoring in how awesome that God really is, and the fact that
I have never had a real touch from God . Well, that pretty much ends
that conclusion.
I really think
that a service at my church is as close as being in heaven while
still on the earth. I never have done this before, but while I am
riding the bus to church, I am like a child. The closer that I get.
The harder it is to sit still. I get plumb antsy with excitement,
because I know that Jesus will be there. That is an awesome feeling!!
I don't know how folks that don't try to stay in right standing
handle one of our services.
There is something
special about knowing that Jesus will be meeting with those that love
Him every time that they gather. In the Word it speaks of a mother
hen covering her little ones with her wings. Who would have though
that a chicken has some of the attributes of Father. They taste
mighty good also!!
I don't think that
there is anyway that we will ever suffer one minute of boredom in
heaven. Father is the original having a good time kinda guy!! We are
capable of not being bored here on earth. That is if we are free, and
have a spark of imagination. There ain't no telling what difference
there will be inside of us later on. I could not ever start to
speculate the differences. The Word itself says, and I am
paraphrasing here: In our wildest imaginations, we can't even come
close to realizing, the good things that Father has prepared for us!!
So stick that in your pipe and smoke it, and blow out a rainbow of
great smelling incense!! The verse is 1 Corinthians 2:9.
I have been told,
and I agree with this statement. If we want to know what God's will
for us is in general. All we need to do is read the first two
chapters of the book of Genesis. Then turn to the end of the Bible,
and read the last two chapters of the book of Revelations. Is that
cool or what?
Getting back to
the beginning of this post. I was talking about my church resembling
heaven. It is nothing more that a celebration service every time,
and the special guest of honor shows up always!! We sing, and shout
praises to our Lord and King. We are not ashamed to give praise to
the One that has given us life so freely!! We have the most awesome
praise team that I ever have experienced first hand.
All you have to do
is get a bunch of very talented folks together to begin with. Then
you make sure that their first priority is loving Jesus. The next
thing that happens is that the just flow together in ultimate awesome
worship. Then it affects the crowd to follow them in their worship of
the Lord. Then before you have a chance to realize it Holy Spirit has
joined in of the celebration. I don't know if you realize this or
not, but Holy Spirit is the difference in playing church, and having
a worship service!!
If Holy Spirit is
not the service where you go to church at, and I said that right. He
must be the service, because it is all about God!! If your service is
about anything other than God......... I can tell you what I would
do, but I can't tell you what you should do. I would listen to the
message of this writer, and go to his church!! If you really want to know God, and all three of them. our church will not let you down!!
I feel in love
with my church at first sight!! I had never knew that God actually
showed up at the church building. Maybe this was because I was raised
Baptist. I am not saying that there is nothing wrong with the
Baptist. It was just wrong for me. I needed a real God in my life
that I could trust. A God that would be there when I needed Him to
be. I later found out that this was all the time. I need God right
beside me every waking, and sleeping moment of my life.
I went from
Southern Baptist, to a highly religious state. By that I mean I was a
scared to death Pharisee. I made laws up concerning the way that I
made laws up for my life!! Yeah,..... it was that bad. Now I am a
part of the pentecostal family, and on the way to becoming what I
used to call a Jesus freak!! There is nothing freaky about it though. It is not more than a case of true love!!
….........Much Love
