The Revelation

Does your life look as peaceful as his does? Take a deep breath and let Jesus take over. God's promises are true!

Revelation chapter 21 verses 3 and 4.

I heard a loud shout from the throne saying, "Look, the home of God is now among men, and He will live with them and they will be His people; yes, God Himself will be among them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor pain. All of that has gone forever."

We no longer have to wait for our lives to be with God. Through Jesus we can come to have life in heaven with Him now. It is His promise for His Holy Spirit to be with us always. In John chapter 14 verses 15-17 Jesus tells them, "If you love Me, obey Me; and I will ask the Father and He will give you another Comforter, and He will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit who leads into all truth. The world at large cannot receive Him, for it is not looking for Him and does not recognize Him. But you do, for He lives with you now and some day shall be in you."

   Whatever would inspire you to think of speaking to God? You have never put much thought into Him before but for some reason you have come up with the idea that maybe there could be more to Him than just an idea of who He might be. The only way you are going to find out is if you do some research. The bible is a good place to start. The internet may guide you but make sure you are not being misguided. Church's are there as a place to go learn about God. A library would have information about who He is. 

   The best place to go is straight to God Himself. Jesus has made that possible for anyone to do, no matter how messed up your life is. Talking to Him and letting Him know how you feel opens the door for more interaction. Be respectful and curious expecting a response. 

   It's ok to be doubtful, wondering if you are just speaking to the wind or not. You have never done this before. He knows your troubles and how sincere you are in seeking after Him. For it is in His touch upon your life that you will be left amazed and thankful. The beginning of a new life with Him. 

   In 1 Samuel chapter 3 we read about Samuel and His encounter with God. Samuel was a young boy helping the priest Eli. One night the Lord called out to Samuel and each time he thought it was Eli calling him. It was only when Eli told him that it was probably God calling to him, that he listened. Samuel went on to be a prophet of the Lord. And people would listen to the messages he brought to them from God.

   If you are seeking after God then your life will change, for you are looking for Him and that is different than the life you had without Him. All God wants from you is your love and faithfulness to Him. But to give that you have to trust in Him, you the person who has been through a lot. You have learned that the hard way about giving your love and trust out so freely. The stories of the bible show us hardships and the joy of trusting in God. Psalms chapter 28 verse 7 says, "He is my strength, my shield from every danger. I trusted in Him and He helped me. Joy rises in my heart until I burst out in songs of praise to Him."

   We can easily follow our own paths hopefully controlling a right and peaceful outcome. Or we can trust in God to guide us along the paths of righteous living. That means you trust in Him for the right outcome and because of that your joy is reflecting your love for Him. Your actions and the words you speak will make others wonder if they too should seek after God. You are not controlled by the world but are freely giving your life over to God so that Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are with you all the time. 

   Take the stress of guessing out of your life. Don't let money, addictions and empty promises rule your life. There should be only one path in which you walk upon and that starts out each day with thanking God. He is there with you in all your worries, troubles and concerns. Talk to Him about what you have going on and He will help you reduce that pile of stress leaving only happiness and gratefulness to Him. 

   Ephesians chapter 2 verses 12 and 13 say, "You were lost, without God, without hope. But now you belong to Christ Jesus, and though you once were far away from God, now you have been brought very near to Him because of what Jesus Christ has done for you with His blood." 

   Wow, Revelation chapter 21 is true. The home of God is now among men and He will live with them. 

   Thank You Father for Jesus. Thank You that each day is Yours and You have given us the privilege and honor of being in it with You. 😊 

Isaiah chapter 43 verses 11 and 12.

"I am the Lord, and there is no other Savior. Whenever you have thrown away your idols, I have shown you My power. With one word I have saved you. You have seen Me do it; you are My witnesses that it is true. From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can oppose what I do."

Psalms chapter 140 verses 12 and 13.

But the Lord will surely help those they persecute; He will maintain the rights of the poor. Surely the godly are thanking You, for they shall live in Your presence. 

Psalms chapter 112 verse 1.

Praise the Lord! For all who fear God and trust in Him are blessed beyond expression. Yes, happy is the man who delights in doing His commands.
