Welcome back to the real world. Or is it? Should not the life we live yesterday(in the spirit as we meditated on the Saviour) not be the life we lead daily. Jesus is coming soon. Universal truth, but is it personal to you? Do you believe it? Are you ready? Whether its today, tomorrow or next year, are you ready? Prepared for the life you will have with Him?

Its like two people preparing for marriage. They begin sharing the things they need the other to know to ensure that there is success in their marriage. Well, with God, He has been sharing with you and I for a long time His desires, wants and needs. It is house we are going to be moving to. Are you making preparations of praise and worship here on earth for that which will be done in heaven? For God loves to hear our voice. Have you already torn down the birthday celebrations of yesterday, or are you remembering still the celebration of Jesus, and will it continue? God inhabits the praises of His people.

Why this message?

Because, it seems that the devil has stepped up his attack and we have just stood by. One of the things about being a "clearing house" for prayer is that I see the world wide picture in days, rather than years or never at all.

Interesting that a young man should share two visions this morning that he has had and that they should begin to intermesh with what I am "hearing". The only reason I can see for stepped up warfare on the devil's part is that the Lord is coming. Do some of us feel a lot like John the Baptist? God has placed me firmly in Amos this last few days. This is NOT the time to get devil conscious, but JESUS conscious. Have you ever thought that if you live to 80 and spend an hour a day with Him, thats only 3 years preparing for HIM for eternity. So like many couples we are unprepared. Thank God for grace!!!! You and I have the ability daily to devote ourselves to Him in all that we do. Did you work in soup kitchens, visit the elderly, bring presents to a hospital-maybe God is shaping you. There are 365 days in a year-lotta soup!!! But more importantly He is looking for your devotion to Him. Do you watch two hours of TV? Do you devote the same to Him as you do the TV? "Oh brother Lee, that is legalistic, religious and ..." I am convinced with very few exceptions when people use the words legalistic or religious with regards to my statements about the Word, that there soul is probably taking a flesh break.
