The Rapture Force

They (the media and government) tell us all this bad news in hopes that we will lose hope and then begin to think of a man being able to see us through our turmoil. Hoping that we will turn to them and trust them implicitly to see us through. Yet they are just men. Just human being ,with all the same hang ups and fears and mistakes as every other man. They cannot save us,they cannot heal us,nor our grievous wounds. In fact if we follow men we are being led to our own doom. God is all powerful,all knowing and everywhere at once. He is WISDOM!!!

Every day we hear more and more about how everything is falling apart, and they do not see that the mistakes they are making are just making it all worse.Nor do they see they have made all the same mistakes in the past. I look at our world today and say man it is all falling apart before our very eyes. But I know in no uncertain terms I am not of the world and the world holds no hope for me. The Lord is my hope,my strength and my courage. He makes me bold when I would turn tail and run. He pushes me to do things I could never have imagined in my life prior to knowing him. I am so thankful to God that he is my everything. I am so thankful that he saw me in my sin and said here is one of my own,then called me by name to come and join Him.He chose me,He pursued me,and he wooed me. He has won my Love and my life. We are His portion and He is our prize.

I watch how every day in thousands of different ways Americans are getting more and more hurt, and not knowing how to fix their lives, and their selves,turning further away from God.Here is a nugget of truth. We cannot fix ourselves. We must must must turn our lives over to God. Hand Him the reins of your life and watch your life soar to new heights. Watch all your worries all your fears disappear. Be healed of everything that ails you.

Are you angry all the time? Is it because you are hurting so much over your past life that you cannot move forward? It is time to put your trust in God and let go of the past. The past is over. There is no going back and fixing any of it. If we sit there going ,”if only I had done this? Then maybe this would not have happened? It is time to come to perfect peace and rest that can only be found in Gods perfectly capable,and beyond able hands. You dear friend,are not here by accident. If your reading this God has a message for you. He wants to love you. He wants to smooth the road ahead for you. He wants to make all of your days good days. He loves you more than you could ever know. He is not saying their wont be trials ahead for you.But those trials in His capable hands makes you get through it all, with a smile on your face.Knowing He has your back is something that is unbelievably comforting.

Just think about it,He sent us the Holy spirit to be our comforter. To hold us up no matter what we face as long as we hand it all to God. Allow the Holy spirit to guide you in this life. I can personally promise you will not regret it. More than that God is right there walking you down the correct paths of life. Guiding and directing you. Loving you all along the way. You see God will not ever stop loving you. No matter what we do wrong,God does not reprimand us he corrects us with love and perfect guidance. He will never ever leave your side. If you feel a distance with Him it is due to something your not doing right. Because He does not leave your side. Not even for one moment.He is always present with us,as soon as you invite the Holy spirit in and give your will over to God’s will,He will not forsake you for one moment not one second. You are His and He is yours forever more. Your life becomes one big huge love fest.

Knowing your loved of the father no matter what ,knowing that He will comfort you if you but ask,is a huge weight lifted off ones shoulders. What can’t we face, with Gods love standing right there beside us? No better yet Living inside of us, showing us from our hearts how to live life, AND IT IS A GOOD LIFE!!!!! Let me say this in plain speaking. God is all up in your stuff. He knows your business,He knows your heart. He knows your every want need and desire. Do you know His desire for you? He wants us to know That he Loves us unconditionally. There have never been any conditions placed on you by God. He has loved you long before you were even born. He might be disappointed with you when you make a mistake.But He just wants you to know He loves you.He desires your love in return,and then my friends let me tell you something,When you give your heart to Him He fills you up to over flowing, with love and comfort and knowledge,and strength. He desires to make you so strong in Him that you will not have to even ask a question.

He will fill you with His knowledge. Strength as we all know is in Knowledge of every form. When
you have knowledge on any subject you are prepared for any single circumstance.Rather that be your job or any circumstance in life you can think of.The more we know of anything, the more ready we are for what life throws at us. God wants to fill us up to overflowing with his knowledge and love. So that we can pour our excess into others. He blesses us abundantly in expectation that we will,pour our overflow onto others lives. Faith comes by hearing. We have to share our knowledge of the Lord with people everywhere. If you do not know the Lord and you are reading this ,He is calling to you. Have you had an abundance of mentions about God? Are you seeking for yourself? He will not leave you empty. If you seek you will find. If you knock the door will be open to you.Ask and you shall receive.

You cannot lose in seeking God. He loves you no matter your sins in the past. For all sin is just as bad as any other sin. He forgives every manner of sin. God finds you in the midst of your sin filled life, and calls you. He pursues you. He gives little nuggets of knowledge of Himself to us. He loves us and blesses us in every imaginable way. Life does not have to be hard and broken. It does not have to hurt you always. Life in Gods hands is peace and calm.“The fruit of the Spirit is… peace” -Galatians 5:22.
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” -Isaiah 26:3. We can trust God with all things. He will not ever stop loving you. And if you did not know that He loves you unconditionally,now you do. Human love I know is so very fickle. If we disappoint people we have a chance of losing their love, and or respect. Not with God He loves you no matter what you have done.

Once you have decided to give Him your life. Once you have accepted Jesus Christs shed blood covering over your sin. God throws your sin away so far it can never be seen again. He never looks back in time. He only looks forward. Yes you can disappoint the Lord ,but His love is never removed from you. Even sinners who wallow in their sin and enjoy it,are loved by God unconditionally. John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. This is not just a fly by night promise.This is more of a covenant with you. They live with you inside you from that day you accept Jesus, for eternity.

John 10:27-29
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. God chooses you,Jesus pursues you,and woos you forever more.He never stops loving us. As a matter of fact it is safe to say He loves us before we are even conceived.in closing I just offer you some good advice,come experience the joy of knowing the Lord. He already knows you ,mind,body,and soul. Come get to know Him and His ways.You have nothing to lose by giving God your trust,you have everything to gain.

Love in Christ Jesus, Tammy

Jesus is our Shepherd,right? Or is He? Is He your Shepherd? Have you made Him your Shepherd? Have you made him the only thing you follow? Because the Shepherds job is to what, Lead the flock,feed the flock, He thinks about his flock. He provides for His flock, nourishes His flock,and most importantly He makes available to His flock. We His flock, do not need to worry about where our next meal is coming from,He provides all things to us. When you walk on your own,doing the things the wicked world has taught you, are you living for your Shepherd? We are already a citizen of Heaven when we become one of his flock. Being a citizen of heaven, we naturally want to keep ourselves holy.Thats why we must listen to the Lord he will lead us on righteous paths. Doing all the right things.

The Shepherd calls you by name he knows you, he loves you. If one of his flock wander away he runs right after them to get them back in line. He Leaves all the other flock, and goes to get that wandering sheep back. Christ is our Shepherd, he stands at the door and he calls to you, he does not knock, he calls you by name. We, who are his flock hear and understand, it is our Shepherd calling to us, and we open the door. We let him in,and we follow him. If we are his sheep Our Job is to follow the shepherd. When the flock follows the Shepherd they get to know him, they get to know his voice, and they listen. The Shepherd guards his flock, he protects his flock. He advises his flock,and they hear and do according to his word.

We as sheep need to have considerate observation so we know what our Shepherd is telling us to do. We need to pay attention to Him and all he dictates to us. He is never early, He is never late, He is always on time. Being that he provides for you, you now have to what? Take what he gives you. In Ephesians it says, we have been blessed with every blessing. In order to have blessings you must accept them. We sheep accept those blessings, we receive them. If he has said take it, it is yours, why aren’t you taking it? It is yours! Go get those blessings with Thanksgiving in your heart. The Shepherd provides lavish drisrtibutions of gifts. We are all given gifts of the spirit and they are according to Gods word Lavish. We must listen with the ability to do what your told. If you do not listen, that’s when you make mistakes. We do not have to make mistakes,because “everything” is provided for us. We need have no worry. If we are worrying we are not trusting the Lord to do his Job and Shepherd us.

All we have to do is sit back and go along for the ride kind of. I mean you are to be busy for the Lord, winning more souls to heaven. But like when you take a plane, ok you board the plane,you are without saying it out loud, giving that pilot your trust. You go in the plane take a seat, seat belt yourself, hear all the safety instructions, and then relax and let the Pilot do his job. It is like that with Christ only much deeper. A pilot is a temporary guard of your life. Jesus is forever looking after your safety. He is the pilot, you simply trust him with your life. You put your faith in him, and know he will see you safely to your destination. Our destination is eternity with Christ, like Christ. Just trust Him,just obey him. Follow him and all His edicts, and you will be living a blessed life. Just hand him the reins, allow him to lead you through life. You have angels all around you, making sure you do not dash your foot against a stone, when you make him your Shepherd and heed His advice. It is when you step away from the Shepherd that you can wander away from the flock, and get lost. Though He promises He will come get you. He “will” come find you.”Whom the Father has given Him he will not lose one, no not one.”

Sheep follow their Shepherd blindly. Meaning they do not look to the left unless their shepherd is there. they do not look off to the right unless that is where there Shepherd is. We as Jesus followers do not need to be concerned with the things of this world. We just need to keep our eye trained on the Shepherd. He will never lead us astray,and he will keep us happy all along the way. Though troubles may find you friends, your Shepherd always comes and saves you in the nick of time. The sheep know that the Shepherd is always going to take good care of them. They love their Shepherd and he loves them. The sheep do not look at one another and judge and worry about what the other sheep are doing. Nope ,they look up to their Shepherd and know they are always safe. The Shepherd will not allow anything to happen to his sheep.

Knowing His word is a very good way for us to get to know Him. He knows us already don’t forget he called you out of your sin to become one of His own. So to know the Shepherds voice,to understand the Shepherds voice, you must study his word. Have you ever wondered at that voice in your head? Asking yourself is this my own subconscious speaking? Is this God speaking to me? Is this satan speaking to me? How can you know without a doubt it is Jesus speaking to you? By knowing his word. In knowing the word you are now prepared to fight off all the devils wily darts that he will hurl at you, as well as being able to know without a doubt when it is the Lord speaking to your heart. We will recognize his voice by knowing His word. Then there will never be an occasion to wonder whose voice your hearing. Forewarned as they say, is forearmed. The Lord in His word provides all the answers to every question you may have. You can know those answers long before you need ask them, by studying his word diligently. This way you know your Shepherd. His word is His explanation of who he is.

One more Analogy to round this out. The Lord is kind of like a boxers manager. He is in your corner watching everything you cannot see in the thick of it all. He massages you and tells you go with your right there is a nice spot left open over there, go with your right. Go to the left duck ,bob and weave. He sees all things that are going on and knows which way to direct you. Which way your going to get through this match. It is the same with Christ. He sees all the things we cannot see, He knows which ways to guide you and direct you. He will always be that man in your corner never leaving your side always guiding and directing and asking you to trust him. Your victory is His victory in all things. Or vice verse, His victory is your victory, in all things. He first had the victory and passes that on to us, who will just trust Him and make Him our Shepherd.

God Bless you all and lead you to Him.
Love you all in His Name, Tammy
