Enraptured
AAAAAAAh such an apt word Enrapture, it means (delight beyond measure) to describe what it is God makes me feel.Everyday I wake up, and again am delighted beyond measure by all that my God, my treasure, my rock, my heart, my life, the very air I breathe, reveals to me. Every moment I spend in constant communication with my God in Heaven and he rewards me with unspeakable joy unspeakable delight.unspeakable love. I read my bible and it is not reading it is living it. It is God sitting me down in the midst of wherever I am and he shows me all of history as I am reading it I am living it. He fills me with knowledge I could never have imagined myself knowing. He tells my soul the answers to all of lifes questions. He brings me to heights of ecstasy I never imagined.
Oh how I wish I could make the world see and understand what it is I am trying to tell them about God. So many are blind to this little known fact and do not know what it is to completely, every second of every day hand your very life back to God. Keep in constant communication with him and nothing can ever go wrong. Why because he shows you what he wants of you. He fills you with knowledge of how to handle everything in your life. Even your scariest moments. He teaches you every day how to love him and live for him, Life on earth is but a vapor,eternity is a long long time to have to pay for turning him down on his offer of Love, his offering to you. Why would you want to say no to perfect everlasting love? A love you too can feel right here on earth.There is no amount of explaining to give you the correct descritption of what it is God offers you. He enthralls you, he makes your soul want to dance. He brings you ever clearer vision of what he is, who he is, the perfection that is He. The Almighty God in Heaven, Father over all, one father over all. As much as you love someone in your life, think of the person you love the most in your life, Now then know that God loves her or him more than ten times that amount ,but more importantly, God loves you more than that too.God Loves you more than anything else on earth. He wants to open a relationship with you that you have never dreamed possible.
I have so many friends these days who keep saying they are so tired of earth and want to go home. Well I share in that want of going home to meet my father face to face, to feel His great love the greatest love, not even close to being imaginable!! But I do not feel quite the same kind of rush on going home as some do. I am enjoying what God is doing to me here on earth right now. I am growing in his love and knowledge, and understanding every day. I am being shown new wonders daily. I read his word and understand it and feel it as though I am right there. He shows me always that He is right here with me. I trust him thats why. I trust him with everything. If I keep in constant communication with him how can I make a mistake, he will not let me. If I keep an open dialogue with him how can I lose out? If I am asking God all advice, on every single subject or occassion in my every day life, how can I go wrong? Do you have that open relation ship with the Lord? Have you surrendered totally? ask yourself have you surrendered your every fear, your every need, your every thought, over to him Totally? Are you my friends, allowing God to work and build you and mold your every single second of life on earth? Why arent you letting him handle that argument you just had with your child,your spouse,your boss,your friend? Do you allow anger to step in? Why? if you had God in your every moment you would not have gotten into that fight or argument. The Joy is in being loved to pieces I mean to splintering beyond measure rapture.
To never dream of going back to how you used to live.With spare moments of prayer? Why do you spare mere moments for your Lord God and not give him every second of your life back? Talking to God is like talking to yourself only he answers you with straight to your heart know it, knowledge. A knowing that is undeniable. He fills you with what to say, how to act, how to love, how to live, how to do it all according to his will. To surrender every day, to surrender every second better yet surrender every milisecond to him. It takes the same amount of time to talk to God as it does to think a thought. Pick up your cross and follow him. Do your service to the Lord with a smile on your face.No matter what hurts you may have inside you, let the Lord handle it. LET THE LORD HANDLE IT!!!!
Why friends and family do you let everyday battles bring you down? How is it that your every moment is not in complete joy? Who in your life do you say is taking your joy away from you? Please do not let anyone here on earth worry you so much that you will lose your joy in Gods hands,in handing it all over to the Lord. You are then assured to your soul that everything is going to be ok. Let God do the talking for you, through you. If you are in constant conversation with God the Father he will pour the right words out of your mouth. He will make the scenario to open the dialogue you need to open with to witness to that special someone you love, and have been praying fervently for. Or how to approach any situation you may find yourself in. With perfect love and understanding. This way all of our moments are taken care of and at the end of the day you do not find yourself hating this life so much. You can look forward to going home and learning about him more and having him show you so much more of himself.
Have you died to self today? Have you really? Let’s think about this hard and seriously. What does it mean to die? Well we know to die is to be present with the Lord, right? Ok so do dead people hurt? Do dead people get angry? Do the dead get impatient? Does the dead person worry? The answer to all of this is no right? So then if you have died to self today how is it you are allowing, worry, fear, anger and pain get to you? Why are you impatient for the Lords work to be done on that special someone, or even someone who is not close to you, whom you are praying for ? Why are you making yourself insane with worry and fear? I submit to you fear not for the Lord is with thee. Do you not trust the Lord to make all worries fears and anxieties better when you have DIED TO SELF? If you are dead then you are with the Lord, it is the same when you die to self and pick up your cross, God is watching out for you. Trsut him in all things,in all ways. Many people I have heard say, do not tell people they will not suffer anything, if they turn their lives over to the Lord, it may turn them away in the end. If they do suffer something for the Lords name, they will say pfffft this person told me I will not suffer if I hand over my life to the Lord, and look now, here I am hurting in pain and frustrated. I tell you the truth, if you submit your every moment to the Lords hands no matter the circumstance, he will see you through it. If you are suffering anything for Gods sake,then you are having another piece of your mansion made. If you are in service to the Lord, and are building his church up, here on earth, then your house is being built in Gods house. You work on Gods house, and he works on your house. You may suffer horrendously either mentally or physically here on earth, but no matter your suffering God is there holding you up.
He is pruning you, cutting off the dead branches that are doing you no good. That you will bear much more fruit. Refining you in the fire. Suffer in gladness that you are being refined, that you are worthy to suffer for the Lord. Know that God sees all knows all, he knows tomorrow and next year even. If you are going through something , know that God is growing you through it. If God is cutting things out of your life, he is just making room for the new things that are to come. More importantly trust that God kows best. If you can just trust that God knows best, then why are you worried? Know also that God does all things in his own time. He knows what is the perfect timing for all things to occur. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 16:9 A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Ephesians 1:11, “He does all things out of the counsel of His own will.” Deuteronomy 29:29,”The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.” I am enraptured,My heart has been captured.My will is not my own, knowing I never have to be alone, this gives me a great joy, The Love of the Father for every girl and boy, My sins from me removed, I have been reproved. Me he has chosen his words to my heart spoken The shepherd called me by name I will never be the same. I can never go back, nor do I wish to lose track, of all my father has shown me. I have been enthralled that I have been called, I am enchanted ,I have recanted my former beliefs. Now I know truth, I need not be a slueth, God has supplied all the answers. The answers he sent directly to my heart, I have had a great new start. I have been washed clean, my just look at this lovely sheen. I have been made anew, I never had a clue. I have been redeemed, who would ever have dreamed, That I could be found worthy, I have no more antipathy, towards anyone or anything. I have found freedom I am now worthy of his Kingdom. Praise you Father in Heaven
