MY FRIENDS, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST, THANK GOD ALMIGHTY, I’M FREE AT LAST!!
“Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel, will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still, will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall, Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all, I can only imagine” (MercyMe)
My friends, I can only imagine. As the streets of Ferguson Mo. burns, headlines read; Michael Brown, allegedly taunted Officer Darren Wilson, telling him “he was too much of a coward to shoot him, Wilson told investigators.” now a young black man, Michael Brown is dead.
What is a life worth these days, one dollar, five, maybe if you are rich and famous. but we must ask, what is our worth to God, what was the price paid for our Salvation. My friends, our God has given us a mandate, and that is to tell, as many as will listen, what our true worth is, and one day as free men and woman, if we believe, God will personally give us the freedom award, life eternal.
No more demonstrations, or protest, no more death or destruction, we will all be on one accord, as Christ places on us the same 
outfit, the robe of His righteousness. But as long as our temporary residence is this world “They [will] dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious.
“Peace, peace,” they say, when there is no peace. Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush….”Jer. 8:11-12 (ESV) My friends our time on this earth are but “light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Cor. 4:17-18 (NKJV) And soon, we will be free, throughout eternity, but for now we can only imagine.
“Our eyes being “drawn to the East, for a small black cloud [will] appear about half as large as a man’s hand, which [His faithful will all know is] the Sign of the Son of Man.
[His redeemed we are all] in solemn silence [as we] gaze on the cloud as it draws nearer, lighter, and brighter, glorious, and still more glorious, till it [becomes] a great white cloud.
The bottom [will] appear like fire, a rainbow [will be] over it, around the cloud [will be] ten thousand angels singing a most lovely song. And on it [will sit] the Son of Man, on his head [will be] crowns, his hair white and curly and lay on his shoulders.
His feet the appearance of fire, in his right hand [will be] a sharp sickle, in his left a silver trumpet. His eyes [will be] as a flame of fire, which [will] search his children through and through…. Then we [will] all cry out, who shall be able to stand? Is my robe spotless? (E. G. White, Heaven pp31)
I can only imagine, that day we all seek. My friends, as we still stand in the presence of God’s grace we must 
continue to ask ourselves Is my robe spotless. Are we making long range plans, for big happenings on this earth, or for our heavenly abode?
Are we allowing self to die daily as God’s Spirit transforms our character into the image of Christ, as we prepare too sing that freedom song for the last time, which says “I am restored, I am redeemed, by your Spirit I am free” yes free at last, thank God almighty, I am free at last!!
My friends, we don’t have time to sit down and rest, or catch our breath as our mind takes us to a place “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for us” 1Cor 2:9 (NKJV) “for with freedom comes responsibilities,” and [we] dare not linger, for our [journey] is not yet ended.” (N. Mandela) So stay focus, as we allow our faith and endurance, to soon, set us free.
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
