“I’M GONNA PUT ON MY ROBE, AND TELL THE STORY, HOW I MADE IT OVER, SOON AS I GET HOME”
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. Rev.7:9
My friends the HOME we seek, at this particular time in our lives, God’s chosen can only dream about for “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Cor. 2:9
But today, I need you to feel the same PASSION, and EXCITEMENT that keeps me FOCUSED, because IT WON’T BE LONG MY FRIENDS BEFORE WE PUT ON OUR ROBES, AND TELL THE STORY OF HOW WE MADE IT OVER.”
And every day it gets that much closer to it becoming a reality, and the Children of God, seeing THE CLOUDS OPEN UP, AND
THE ONE who gave it all so that we may live throughout the ceaseless ages of ETERNITY, coming to TAKE US HOME.
For His promise TO HIS FAITHFUL is sure “We who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God.
And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 1 Thess. 4:15-17
ALWAYS my friends meaning INFINITE, FOREVER, WITH NO ENDING. After I see the face of my Savior, as I sit at the BANQUET TABLE of the redeemed “I then lift my hands in total admiration” as I PROCLAIM my personal JOURNEY OF HOW I MADE IT OVER.
And as I FOCUS it won’t be hard for me to remember. “IT WAS ALWAYS DARKNESS BEFORE DAWN” but now I will forever see the light of the SON, for the VISION of hope in His Word sustained me along with my FAITH and GOD’S SPIRIT, because there were times in my life that became blurred by the god of this world who would captivate my attention.
But no greater love then my God for his promises kept reminding me “I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I WILL NOT FORSAKE YOU. Isaiah 42:16
So many times I turned my back on God as I would move away from His PRESENCE, but GOD’S LOVE ABOUND over everything and here I am. I sit among the redeemed at the banquet in each of our honor. His promises were true. His word was sure.
Now eternity awaits and at that moment “I will lift my hands in total adoration once again, for I just can’t stop praising HIS NAME, because I always knew my “REDEEMER LIVETH.” because He would “never put more on me then I could bear.” He was always my “SHELTER THROUGH the STORM.” “He would always lead me in the paths of righteousness, For His name’s sake.”
“Human language is inadequate to describe the reward of the righteous. It will be known only to those who behold it. No finite mind can comprehend the glory of the Paradise of God. In the Bible the inheritance of the saved is called a country. Hebrews 11:14-16. There the heavenly Shepherd leads His flock to fountains of living waters.
God’s people, so long pilgrims and wanderers, shall find a home. My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places. There is the New Jerusalem, the metropolis of the glorified new earth, a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of our God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.” (E.G. White)
soon my friends WE WILL BE HOME, SOON AND THROUGHOUT ETERNITY WE CAN PRAISE GOD’S NAME, AND AS WE LOOK AT THE SCARES IN HIS HAND, WE WILL ALWAYS BE REMINDED OF “HOW WE MADE IT OVER.”
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
