Rapture 36

The prayer of enterprise

Isaiah 42:13 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.

If the Lord goes forth as a mighty man then who is coming to earth? For if we who are alive and remain are caught up to be with the Lord to be forever with him then who is it that comes as a might man?

There is coming an hour when the Son of Man shall rise up against His enemies. He is the son and the God of war and the one person who is yet to show his power. We have seen that men fight with weapons of warfare. Those weapons are built upon the semblance of explosives and they are used once and forever are finished.

With Christ he will come as the Lord of power and the Lord of Might and the Lord of Issue. He will show up as the man who has compelled evil to submit. He is the one who will fight on the side of men but will not submit to them.

Now the first part of history isn't complete. We who are alive are still here. We have not been caught up to be with the Lord. We have failed to be caught up or we have not yet had the rapture. If we have a rapture taking place then how can we continue to sin? The answer isn't one of sin but of God who is in His element.

As God is powerful and mighty there is a stirring in the spirit realm and that stirring is based on an enterprise. Enterprise isn't of the ship but of prayer. Prayer is the key to success and it is the key to this battle. The battle we are fighting is one where God, as the Lord, is fighting a battle in time. That is like fighting forward from 1500 to the present.

How can that be? Think of prayer as the people who pray and seek God. Those who get a true breakthrough are those who fight for the element. The element is of life and it is the one element that is needed for each time. Now each time sounds like a circle and it is but not of life but of love.

Now the circle of love is to make all things complete and that means those who are of God fight to make things complete. First they have to deal with the problem of themselves and in the process they become more then they were. Men who can overcome their own weakness are capable of dealing with power. Men who cannot overcome are forever bonded into an element of life called time.

Most of us are bonded to time but God doesn't want us to remain there because time carries pain. And we don't want time to have the element of pain. In a way it is because we are men and we want things to have shock therapy. We want to know that we have control and that level of control is based on understanding and wisdom. Yet there is something in it that is based on time and knowledge is one of those things.

Time of knowledge isn't of evil but it is of time. And time will be the key to overcoming the world and overcoming evil. If we fight with knowledge of time we fight with understanding as one who uses time wisely.

Wise men are those who fight with wisdom. Some fight with time and some fight with knowledge. Yet some can overcome time by listening to the word of the Lord. Some of it is by scripture and some by preacher but the safest exchange is simply to heed. And to heed means to give time to God so He can begin to clear out the old and put in the new.

Now the important thing to remember in this story is its of time. We want the rapture to happen but the way God works is pure mystery. So lets imagine we grew up inside of a world that was of evil. Our parents grew up there and their parents and so on. They didn't remember anything beyond that except in the case of items carried forward. Time loses things and few families carry items more then 100 years.

As time forwards we are bent so that our life is in review. We are bent back by time so we can see both forward and backward. It is the backward seeking men who look at their life and try to find a way to heal it. It isn't possible to change what happened but it is possible to bring it up to God who can stall the pain and hinder the evil.

And at that point we begin to transform. Transformation begins to move us from time to position and then back again. We begin to move forward as we are moving back. As we move back in our life we see our problem was of guesswork. That means we tried to fix it based on what we believed best not just at the time but at the moment. And that moment didn't always fix things and often ended up messing things up.

God then takes us back to our beginning and peals away the color and gimmickry and then tries to teach us to heed Him. He takes us to His heart and then into his life. And we are taken into an element called time.

Time is like being inside of a refrigerator. It is cold and frightening and it can be like being in a tube of cold water. We end up with a desire for change and the change of desire is the empire of error.

In this realm of time we are bent into pretzels and into crackers for a soup and a parrot called sin. Sin is not the only element there and it is bent time. It isn't easy to find people to sing or hear or love. It is only possible to pray and even then without many who can hear you.

So the possible solution is to find an element of time called garrison. Garrison is like an element of change and in it is the statement of faith. Now a garrison is like a strong place to hold onto. A strong person is there to encourage and help and there to lift up. Not to take to the bank or to the cleaners but to lift up as in encourage. And that is the element of time and of chance.

Now the true measure of a heart is to brace oneself against the element of time. So break open the heart and tell those who read and those who see to keep reading on. And not give up.

Now the end time is based on the end result of time. And the stronghold is there based on God and not the garrison of men. Men are there as elements to encourage but remember this is part of our life. For going back in time does change our nature but it doesn't change our faith. So if we could go back in time it might help us to understand an age and a period of time. And in that there would be help to encourage us along the path.

Now if the rapture is to take place it requires us to become the element. And that element is for us to pray. Prayer isn't just of sitting around and thinking but of actively seeking to hear the Lord. And that is the element.

Now God is on the way to this time but He needs three things to finish the story. First is to see if you are on the right path. Two is to see if you are on the right plan. And three is to see if you are in the right place.

To accomplish this requires prayer and it is the basis of all things to come. For time will cherish time but God will plan and present the story in his place. And that means when we are ready we will be carried to His throne.

As to the fight? It is being done and Christ is fighting. And that is the element needed to encourage us. For Christ is of time and of men and of people who pray. And they are his source of strength just as with God. And the Holy Spirit is there to encourage us and to lift us up while we pray.
