MY FRIENDS, CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING RENEWED IN THE VERY PRESENCE OF GOD?
As we look back over our lives there was situation, circumstances, that are unique to our Salvation and what lead us to Christ as we allowed the arm of the Good Shepherd to reach, some farther than others, and rescued us when we were “sinking deep in sin far from the peaceful shore, very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more”
But we have been rescue and today God still guides our footsteps as He Put’s His hand out and steady’s us along this journey He has placed us on as we continue to keep our eyes on things above. And what also should amaze us is when He Invigorate’s our mind and body through His Spirit, day after day as we praise His name for all He has done for us.
But today because we are closer then we have ever been before in Christ appearing, we must begin to imagine standing in the very presence of our Savior as he tells us ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ Matt. 25:33 (NIV)
We must also imagine being surrounded by His glory and what will our heart feel will we dance for our Jesus Or In awe of Him just stay still Will we stand in His presence to our knees will we fall Will we sing hallelujah or will we be able to speak at all.” My friends it is time that we begin to imagine, standing face to face before our Savior as we are being renewed throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity.
That vision must become real and alive within us if we truly seek God’s kingdom. Webster tells us renewed is “to restore or replenish” So throughout eternity “ we will renew our strength, we will soar on wings like eagles; we will run and not grow weary, we will walk and not be faint.” That my friends is what we call eternal bliss.
But we must remember the god of this worlds goal is to keep our focus on His agenda and once that happens we will loose sight of standing in the very presence of our Savior. So we must dissociate ourselves from the things of this world that do not center our attention on Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
If we are serious about our Salvation there must be a deep passion from within, a passion for righteousness by faith, and a passion for God”s word and a passion to stand in the very presence of our Savior as we become renewed each day in the atmosphere of a pure and holy kingdom. In addition, as children of the king, we are only aliens in a foreign country but we are still ambassadors representing heaven our real home and as ambassadors we are to tell of the good news of the Kings soon coming.
The psalmist tells us in Ps. 119:19 (KJV) “I am a stranger on earth” but though we travel as temporary residents, our mandate never changes and that is to tell the world “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.” Christ assured His disciples that He went to prepare mansions for them in the Father’s house. Those who accept the teachings of God’s Word will not be wholly ignorant concerning the heavenly abode. And yet “eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.” (E. G. White A beautiful Country) So my friends let’s imaging being in the very His presence of our Savior and being renewed throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity
So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
