A New Day

This morning as I awakened to a beautiful new day, I was reminded that God has already gone before us and prepared this day.  Everything that will happen or not happen He already knows about and because He loves us I know He will be with us in the good times and the bad times.  Deuteronomy 31:8 - And the LORD, he [it is] that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.  Everything that I see happening in the world, the government shutdown, murders, hatred, wars, rumors of wars, calamities, pestilences,  is all pointing to the return of Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.  Revelation 3:10 - Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Gods children know there has been a change, a shift in the Kingdom of our Heavenly Father and as members of the Body of Christ, we have an indescribable excitement of joy and expectancy.  You see, Heavenly Father, has been speaking to us through dreams, visions, prophetic word and His holy bible letting us know the Bridegroom, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is on His way to get His Bride, us, His children and we are to watch and pray and let His light shine before men that our Father may be glorified in heaven. Like never before we need to pray for the lost, open our mouths and our hands and let them know Almighty God sent His Son, Jesus to take our punishment for sin and He has risen and lives forever and the door is still open, He is knocking and is still ready and willing to save.  By His grace through faith in Jesus Christ we are saved and the lost will be also.  One day we were lost and someone shared the glorious good news, the Gospel of Jesus Christ with us and we confessed we were sinners and asked Jesus to forgive us and become our Lord and Savior, we believed it in our heart and confessed it with our mouth and we became His to live with Him forever.  Our names are written in the Lamb's book of Life. 
 God is Righteous and Holy, He is Truth and Justice.  God had to punish sin and He loves the world so much, He came down to this world in the form of His Son, Jesus and paid the penalty for sin by His death on the cross, when God raised Him from the dead He justified us by giving us Jesus Righteousness it is a gift, we can't earn it.  We receive it through God's grace(undeserved favor) through faith in Jesus Christ. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  We are ready to leave this wicked world and be with Our Bridegroom and see our loved ones again.  I pray the ones who don't know Jesus will hear and receive His gift of salvation, and also for the ones who reject Him to have a change of mind and heart.2 Peter 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is long suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

 I Thessalonians 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lordforever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
