Rapture 27

The bending of time

Lets say the rapture is still on only it needs a boost. It needs a boost because no one on earth wanted the rapture. Now when I say that I don't speak of myself. I want it so much I pray about it pretty much always. I have grown tired of things and tired of people who claim to be Christian but don't even let me talk about it. Don't reply to my mail and don't think of it as important. "Its in Gods hands" and there is remains.

The issue isn't that it is Gods hand but ours. We are all people who want the rapture to take place. We want men to say "It is the coming of the Lord." We want things to be healed and delivered. We want people to be set free. We want to know that God is in control. We want to see the hand of God in our life.

Yet if the rapture were to take place it would be chaos. Not because God couldn't change the course but because we don't want the course.

The fact is God is ready for a rapture and if that sounds crazy think of us. We are men and women who refuse to bend and refuse to bow and refuse to heed. We are told that if the rapture took place it would be of God. Yet we want it to be of our own dream and desire. We have already created an ideal dream. We'll do this and this and this and this and this yet none of us really pray we just talk.

And in talking we pray with thanksgiving and pray with love. Yet we don't know who we are. Many Christians have no relationship with God. They might call it a friendship with Him but they have no relationship.

A relationship is based on time and evil wants us to submit to him. And if we do he gives us things to do. Things to keep us busy. And we fail to heed.

The answer to this story isn't God so much as it is us. God did His part. He came and gave His son. He came and gave us time. He came and gave us what we asked for. He came and told us that we were on the right path. Now it is time to tell. Tell those who are ready that the rapture is meant to happen.

How? By writing it here in these pages. By carrying it to men by prayer. It doesn't matter if they see or understand but that they see that I was ready. I wanted the rapture so much I did nothing but pray. And I sought God in prayer until I wept. I didn't stop crying because I couldn't talk to people about the rapture. No one saw that I knew things and that I was in contact with God.

The rapture is coming. It is on the way. It is moving as scheduled and will come as we hope. It will be all that we hope for. It will be given to us just as we ask. Yet it won't bring us to a place of perfection but only to the first Heaven. Its because we are not ready for higher things. The first Heaven is of the law. It is there that we will learn how to deal with those who are bound and those who are to be set free.

God wants us to understand that we are tripped and part of a story that is bending time. Not a little but a lot. And the bend in time is the bend in evil. It is the bend of time and of space which men of earth would be interested in seeing. They would like to see it happen.

So God will help them to understand why it is happening. And they will have time to measure it. And they will have time to see it. And that bend in time is a way for us to walk back and forth in time. It will be a way for us to be part of history.

And if that bothers you then pray. For God wants us to be happy and we are in the one part of time where we can make a difference. And that means we fight and we grin and we grimace and we keep going. It is who we are. I don't like the war but I like the idea of justice. And I want to see people vindicated.

The concern of our heart is to be justified by faith and justified by hope. We can even be justified by love. And if God sets us up to be the prime cause of the nations failing then I would be hated above all men. If I am set up as being part of the solution then I would be loved.

If I am hated then I would adjust and find a way to pray. If I am caught into a subject that I cannot bear the Lord would carry me to a place of hope. He knows I cannot sit for long until I am healed of my affliction.

The rapture of the church is more then just me and my issues. It is based on the entire earth being carried up to be with the Lord. God wants His footstool and it is meant to be in Heaven 3 not Heaven which is basically stuck where we are but without the purity we desire.

Lets face it; we are men who justify our existence by our ministry and by our faith. Yet here is the absolute truth. We are on the way up to be with the Lord. We are in His presence. We are in the healing place. It is there for us but we can't reach it. So God is going to set us into a place called end time collision. We need to see our own life in perspective. And we have to find a way to give ourselves a back rub or carry our self up to heaven. We are not in a good mood spiritually and that means the entire church. We don't want humor or joy or laughter. We want help but we want it our way.

So lets be faith minded and put things back into the box. Lets put in anger and rage and hurt and bare and raw and frustrated and murder and desire to hurt and steal and destroy. Lets put those away by giving God a chance. And that means benefitting by time.
