FIRST, AN UPPER ROOM EXPERIENCE BEFORE THIS JOURNEY IS FINISHED!!!

FIRST, AN UPPER ROOM EXPERIENCE BEFORE THIS JOURNEY IS FINISHED!!!

“So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord.” Ephesians 2:19-22 (KJV)

My friends that verse tells each of God’s children that we are all in one family and the corner stone of that family is Jesus Christ “And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.” Acts 1:13-14 (KJV) Today as we look at prophecy being fulfilled right before our eyes We need the things only the UPPER ROOM can provide.

The hope, grace, mercy and the assurance from the Good Shepherd  that states in His Word “the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones Ps. 37:28 (KJV) I myself have come to the conclusion that all believers of Christ must all come together, on one accord, with one objective and that is, in the finishing up of God’s work and it starts in the UPPER ROOM.

Christ commanded His disciples “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.” Acts 1:4 (NIV) “And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house…” Acts 2:2 (KJV)

But there is a process that God needs to take His faithful through. First we must “Be still, and know [who God is]; for He tells us “I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10 (NIV) in addition, we must also remember that THIS UPPER ROOM EXPERIENCE is not just about location, but about the experience, one receives just being in the presence of Christ.

It could be in the “hiding places on the mountainside, as we seek his face, and the sound of  His voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely. Song of Solomon 2:14 (KJV) Or Your experience with Christ could be in the solitude of a room at Home “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matt. 6:6 (KJV)

As a Child of God let’s also search out our Saviors path, and the example He set for His faithful while remembering he is more than our Savior He is also our friend He is the one who takes each situation and circumstances of our life and assures us “I will not leave or forsake my Children” for you are  on the team of the living God.

A team where there is no limit of souls, for it is all about faith and endurance, in fact what makes this team special is, it grows daily, because all team members are required to seek other souls to be a part of God’s team, there is also no discrimination by age,  race, gender, or economic status.

For God’s goal for all who believe is victory as long as our Savior and team leader Jesus Christ gets all of the praise glory and honor for all that was done on Calvary to bring this team together so that all may claim victory in spite of a world that has lost its spiritual compass.

Oh what A rich and full communion and Fellowship so divine and sweet For it is a place for all the weak and weary, a place where we all may find real peace In the UPPER ROOM WITH JESUS.  And one day as we look beyond the horizon in those heavenly courts above we will then understand what sacrifice our savior took so that with a team effort we are now all experiencing the victory of eternity

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
