Rapture 72

The spirits who mock God

If the rapture were to take place as planned the entire program would have to begin with a life. A life is one thing God had desired for this story. A life is one who overcame by prayer. And it is a story of things yet to come.

To put it into perspective a life is what happens to those who pray. It is what happens to those who seek. It is what happens to someone who finds. And it is the desire of the Lord that these things would be.

Now the rapture is about life. The Bible tells us the dead in Christ shall rise first and then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up.

Being caught up isn't like dead tissue which rises up. It is more like those who are of life who rise up. So if those who are of life rise then they were asleep. And that means those who are of life are those who are of hope. And those who are of hope are those who are in life but without life.

So lets put things into perspective. Suppose you had gone on a journey. You had reached the end and had found you didn't arrive but were broken along the way. Somewhere out there was part of your body which you were forced to leave behind. It wasn't part of your heart nor was it part of your life. It was just something that was broken.

Now such a thing may not seem important. God could and would build for us a new body. But suppose that new body missed its self because it had ideas which were in it which could not be retrieved. Suppose that body were filled with ideas and could not be retrieved. Would such a thing be wise? As in would such a body be wise to seek for if you lost it?

Suppose Jesus left something of himself in the grave. We say it didn't happen but suppose the mortal to immortality is what he left. Suppose that mortal body is what he wanted back? Suppose it was his immortal body which rose? Why want back a mortal part? The answer is because it held thoughts and thoughts were the concept of the heart.

Now I'm not saying that is true. I'm saying that might be a possibility. Now most would say it doesn't make sense since Jesus rose again. And since Jesus had a body and it was changed from mortality to immortality. He represented the first rapture. And if that is true then we are part of the nature of things that was broken. For there has not been a rapture. We are not dead and we are alive and remain. So if there was a rapture, as some state, then Jesus came up because God gave the last trump. And that doesn't make sense.

So lets say his body was in the grave and we'll leave it there. That is because it would still be alive. And that would mean Jesus left part of his nature behind which was of life and not of death.

Why? Because mortal flesh cannot see the Lord. Job said he would see the Lord in the flesh but that is a gift which is yet to come. It is a gift God will grant to those who work for it. And it is a gift which is given to those who fight. It is a triumphant thing and it is a gift and that is what it is meant to be.

The world is on edge and it doesn't know that God is here. He is here in Spirit and in flesh. Now flesh is of God. Not carnal flesh but spiritual flesh. Spiritual flesh is of life as well and it means that God is in control. And it means that God does know how to help. He knows that men will be men and will ask for help and will seek. Seeking is Gods plan and Gods will. It is Gods desire that we ask and if we ask without ceasing God will answer.

So I am asking for help and God is hearing my prayer. He knows I have been praying. And He knows the battle is ongoing. He knows that its not easy to bear. And he knows that I want help. So lets deal with some of those things now.

First lets deal with help. If God has promised help and it hasn't arrived what do we do? We ask and we seek and we knock until we get a clear word. A clear word is a clear word. Its not soon or trust or wait its on such and such a time you will receive. That is a clear word. A bad word is when all you ever hear is trust so you sit and wait and wait and wait for years and years and years and years. That is not Gods will despite the longevity of it. Now if you ask for something long term like the salvation of a person God may say trust or wait. That is good to hear. But if you are asking for help and you can never hear anything but trust then you need to dig a little deeper. It is because there are spirits who's job is to say "Trust" and that is what they do. They go around to people who pray and they are taught "Trust" is the one thing people want to hear. So tell them to trust and they'll be happy.

Now you won't hear that from most preachers. And probably until today you would have heard me say the same thing to others. Its just that God wants more and you want more. It isn't fair to a child to tell him to trust when he is praying night and day and cannot get an answer. It isn't fair if a person prays in tongues for months without an answer. God isn't in the business of being unfair. Even if he were an unjust God he would answer sooner then some of the spirits on earth allow. They are spirits who sound like God but they are dumb. That means they can't give more then one answer. That is trust. And trust isn't the biggest thing evil does. He tries to get smarter as time goes on. And that is called adapting.

Now why does this happen? Its because evil is a spirit of lies. And it takes men into sin and into evil. It is this spirit who tells preachers to hurt and manipulate others. And it isn't because those men didn't seek. Its because they were lead astray. And they didn't have anyone to oversee. And that is dangerous in almost every situation you can imagine.

Now God is in charge of trust. And he reserves the right to say it to you. Only he wants you to understand that trust is more then just a word. It must come with presence and that is the presence of the Holy Spirit. If you don't have peace which passes understanding then you need to keep asking.

Now there is specific help on the way. And since I have prayed and sought God for help I am asking for help. I am asking for critical help. I am asking for serious help. And I am asking for it as soon as possible. If that is not soon enough then listen. What does it take to arise and give time to life. Lets say there were three things God is going to do. Not in weeks but this week. Now I will write those things down.

1. God will pray. And I will hear. And evil will be carried away. That will happen this week.

2. I will pray and God will hear. And he will hear me pray.

3. God will begin to open a door. And that means a door to Lethbridge. That is not a door that is possible for me to open.

Now it might sound strange but God knows I pray. He knows I hear him. He knows that I pray and he does hear. But there is something I haven't said and that is for over two years I have lost contact with God. I have sought Him with all my heart. I have put him first in all things. And I didn't stop hearing because I did wrong. It started because evil took me and stopped me physically in my tracks. And that isn't a joke. I was lead down a road of pain and sorrow and it was the worst experience I've been through.

Now that is the story. And I write these things by faith. For if I am on the right path those three things will happen before next Sunday. In the meantime maybe I'll work on other things. And I'll wait and let you know what is coming. If I'm meant to continue with the Rapture.
