AWAY WE WILL GO, TO MEET THE LORD

“…the revelation awaits an appointed time; IT SPEAKS OF THE END AND WILL NOT PROVE FALSE. Though it linger, WAIT FOR IT; it will certainly come and WILL NOT DELAY.” (Hab. 2:3) [When we have been praying about some pressing need, pouring our hearts out to our Abba Father, we must be careful to observe what answers God gives by his word, his Spirit, and his provisions, to our humble depictions; when David says, “I will direct my prayer unto thee, as an arrow to the mark, he adds, I will look up, will look after my prayer, as a man does after the arrow he has shot”, (Psa_5:3). WE MUST HEAR WHAT OUR ABBA FATHER WILL SPEAK; know this, God has not forgotten how to speak!] “For the earth will BE FILLED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF THE LORD as the waters cover the sea.” (Hab. 2:14) [Today, the occurrence on an event can be heard around the world in seconds!] “…on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. THIS INCLUDES YOU, BECAUSE YOU BELIEVED OUR TESTIMONY TO YOU. With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power HE MAY BRING TO FRUITION YOUR EVERY DESIRE for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith.” (2 Thess. 1:10-11) [Fruition: the completion or fulfilment of your every desire!] “Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, NOT TO BECOME EASILY UNSETTLED OR ALARMED by the teaching allegedly from us–whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter–asserting that the day of the Lord has already come.” (2 Thess. 2:1-2) [No, the day of the Lord has not happened yet!] “Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and THE MAN OF LAWLESSNESS IS REVEALED, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, PROCLAIMING HIMSELF TO BE GOD.” (2 Thess. 2:3-4) [How close we are to this event occurring!] “For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but THE ONE WHO NOW HOLDS IT BACK WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TILL HE IS TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY.” (2 Thess. 2:7) [The Holy Spirit, When He is taken out of the way, WE WILL BE “CAUGHT UP” TOGETHER WITH HIM!!!]

Be blessed as you praise The Lord, knowing that THAT BY HIS POWER HE MAY BRING TO COMPLETION OUR EVERY DESIRE!
