Rapture 29

On the way to life

The rapture is bent. Now bent sounds bad but think of time as the key to life. And if we have time to pray we have time to think. My parents wonder where I get this knowledge. The answer is simple. I pray.

Praying with God is like praying for answers. I come up with answers that seem wild. They are but they are part of Gods universe that He created.

Now if it gets wild in Heaven remember this. There are beasts around the throne. There are creatures you cannot conceive going in and out. They are not just of angel but of men. And some of the men are not of earth but of things that once were. And some of them don't look like us. They are different as a frog species. And some are giants and some are small. Some are so small they cannot be seen. And some are so big they cannot be seen.

So if it seems that we are into prayer then wait because the things of life are just starting to be revealed. And if people, such as Christians get offended by God or by the weird creatures that surround him, remember this, those are just the small things to God. Those are the things He created. They are creatures and some would seem ugly and some so beautiful we would weep.

There are slimy creatures and super dry creatures. There are no mummies but there are people who dress weird. Some of those things in Heaven will become fashionable on earth. Maybe not right away but people tend to follow. And in this case follow what they see.

The fact is we are not really ready for life. We are ready for some of it. We are ready for the alien. We are ready for the snail people. But most of us couldn't stomach what they eat which is basically dirt. And since some creatures like dirt we here on earth might have food they would eat.

Just remember that snail people move very, very, even very slowly. And they want their food to remain still. And if it grows mold don't worry. They just eat that as well. And if you think I joke just remember this, "If aliens want to feel welcome on earth then think who will speak snail?"

Will you learn? Because snail don't speak. They live and we feed them with our food. And the fact they are small and live on earth doesn't meant we should eat all of them. Some like lettuce and some like salad and some just eat grass.

Now you laugh but do you feel safe? If so remember that some people put snail food on their salad. And some put salad on their snail. We are people who would eat snail and not worry that it is intelligent. As far as I know it thinks snail. But if food is of God we have to test all things. As Paul wrote don't let people judge you for what you eat. Yet it is also true that God wrote the law on food for a reason.

So if we eat with conscience then we eat with prayer. It doesn't bother us to eat food with snail.

Now this isn't part of the story of the rapture just a personal issue I have with food. Food is meant to be of Heaven and yet some Christians believe we will be phantoms. These are creatures that can see but the rest except hearing and maybe speaking is off limits. I know people who are hateful of life yet don't know it. And I know people who need to be taught but refuse to see. Yet if we are to be caught up to be with the Lord I need help. Not just you but me.

If help is to arrive then man has to be carried to sin and sin to hell. Men can be set free and they won't know it. But that was never the purpose of the crucifixion. It was meant to provide a way out. It did. We were set free and that is through the name of Jesus.

The fact is we are on the way to life. It just takes time to grow and growing is part of the sea of life.

To hear clearly wish hard and dream harder. Remember to think of things that are pleasing and think of things that you desire. Don't give up on dreams no matter what. Dream hard and wait for life. It will come. With wings of time. Maybe of silver as well.

Now to all of you I remain always waiting and praying and seeking God for the return. I wait with hope and life. I remain hoping God will open a way soon. I wait knowing God is in control and will bring us to a place of hope. I wait knowing that hope isn't going to come to me without prayer. Yet hope is here with prayer. And so if I seek hope and hope comes then I know I'm in good hands.

Finally seek God first and all things will be added. He will grant the desire of your heart. He will not forsake His promise and will solidify his answer. Just pray and seek God with love.
