Who Is On The Lords Side?

To put this into a coherant series of statements seems almost impossible as it involves observations that are merely a portion of  transpirations which are far greater. One such observation concerns the saints. Lately it’s been encouraging to hear from many who discern the times and are drawing closer to the Lord Jesus. They’re finding themselves in a place spiritually, where they are letting go of the temporal and laying hold of that which is eternal. Increasingly they feel like strangers in this world and long for the moment when this mortality puts on immortality. Whenever such a one is encountered, be it through the electronic realm or in the physical, there’s a special bond of fellowship. This is not to suggest that I’m excessively spiritual because I’m not. All of us have to die daily. Nonethtless, whenever we meet one whose love for Jesus is pure; that being unfettered by the shackles of tradition, worldly allegiances, or what have you, there’s a sweetness that’s unexplainable.

One of the reasons that I’ve been blogging for so long (primarily on my other blog Grace County) that most of those that I know who subscribe to such aspirations are found in the blogosphere. There is a thing, both wonderful and yet heart-breaking, which is taking place. I see saints who are drawing closer to Jesus and letting go of every hinderance that could become a snare in the hour of trying. This is the wonderful part. As for the heart-breaking side, I also see a number of professing saints who are content to just “go halfway” as it were. They profess Jesus as Savior, attend church whenever the doors are opened, and incorporate christianesque language into their vocabulary. But then the message becomes obscured as gnat-strainings over issues of temporal standing and affections for the things of this world take center stage in the course of their general conversation.

The separating between the sheep and the goats is not only underway; it’s accelerating. This has been on my heart for well over a year.

This secondary blog was initially designed to focus on end times events but because of the constraints of time, has never been very active. (I barely have time for one blog) From henceforth, I want to narrow the focus and utilize it as a place to encourage those with ears to hear and eyes to see. The season for lengthy, extraneous, time consuming debatings has passed. Each of us must determine to camp out before the Lord and hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. This is done through prayer; both active petitioning and passive meditation, fastings, and continual searching of the scriptures. Then we should share with the other saints what the Lord has laid on our heart; even if the majority of professing saints in our neck of the woods won’t take it seriously. This issue has been on my heart in a very pronounced fashion; and yet I cannot seem to find the words that will effectively convey the urgency.

Jesus is soon to return. May this truth be firmly planted in our hearts and may we all be about our Fathers business in the remaining moments of our pilgrimage. My standing prayer for every saint is that the Lord would draw them so close and grant such revelation that they will be continually changed from glory to glory.

Blessings always in Jesus name.

Deuteronomy 30″19-20 “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thoumayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thoumayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”
