LET US ENJOY THE COMFORT THAT IS IN THIS LIFE BUT THROUGH THE MIRROR OF ETERNITY..........BRETHREN, WE KNOW THAT EVERY SUCCESS IN THIS LIFE COMES WITH SOME PAIN, BUT MEN ARE EVER DETERMINED TO GO THROUGH ALL MANNERS OF PAIN IN ORDER TO MAKE IT IN THIS LIFE. YET WE KNOW THAT WHATEVER ONE RECEIVES IN THIS LIFE IS TEMPORARY AND FLEETING. BUT CONSIDER THE GLORY THAT ALL BELIEVERS ARE WALKING TOWARDS - A GLORY THAT HAS NO END - ENDLESS BLISS AND JOY THAT AWAITS ALL THAT ARE END UP IN CHRIST JESUS. THE BIBLE SUMS IT UP IN THIS MANNER - THAT WE SHALL ENTER INTO GODS REST! YES, WE SHALL REST FROM ALL WE ARE MADE TO GO THROUGH IN ORDER TO ENTER THAT BEAUTIFUL GATE. THE STRANGE THING HERE IS THIS - THAT SOME OF US ARE HOPELESSLY STRUGGLING TO ENTER INTO THAT REST EVEN HERE ON PLANET EARTH. WE TRY TO CONVINCE OURSELVES THAT WHEN WE HAVE ALL THE RICHES OF THIS LIFE WE WILL BEGIN TO LIVE AS IF WE ARE IN HEAVEN. THIS IS A GREAT DECEPTION AND IT IS SATANIC. BRETHREN, IT IS THE WILL OF GOD THAT BELIEVERS POSSESS ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THIS LIFE. BUT IT IS ALSO THAT WILL OF THE SAME GOD THAT ALL THAT BELIEVE MUST LIVE AS STRANGERS IN THIS LIFE. IT IS THE WILL OF GOD THAT IN THE MIDST OF OUR EARTHLY POSSESSIONS, WE MUST MUST LIVE READY - NOT ALLOWING A MOMENT TO PASS US BY WITHOUT OUR PICTURING WHERE WE ARE HEADING TO. THE POINT IS THIS - WHATEVER WILL MAKE US TO RELAX OUR HEAVENLY CONSCIOUSNESS IS NOT OF GOD. ANY WEALTH OR RELATIONSHIP THAT MAKES US TO BEGIN TO THINK THAT LIFE ENDS HERE IS OF THE ENEMY. I ENCOURAGE US THEREFORE TO GRAB AS MUCH AS WE CAN: AT THE SAME TIME I ENJOIN US TO LIVE READY - ALWAYS PREPARING FOR THE GREAT DAY - THE DAY OF OUR LORD. YES, MONEY ANSWERETH ALL THINGS BUT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ETERNITY. NO AMOUNT OF MONEY WILL BUY YOU SALVATION TALK LESS OF ETERNITY WITH CHRIST. DO NOT BE DECEIVED; IT IS GOOD TO HAVE MONEY, YET ALWAYS BEAR IN MIND THAT ALL ABOUT MONEY ENDS HERE. ONE OF THE GREATEST TRICKS THE ENEMY HAS PLAYED ON HUMANITY IS THIS: THAT HE HAS FIRED UP THE HEART OF MEN WITH THE BEAUTY OF THIS LIFE - WITH ALL THE GLORY OF THIS LIFE - BUT HE CONSCIOUSLY HIDES IT FROM THEIR MINDS THAT ALL THE GLORY OF THIS LIFE WILL PASS AWAY UNDER THE FIRE OF GOD. AND AS FOLKS BEGIN TO LIVE IN SEEMINGLY HEAVENLY BLISS EVEN HERE ON EARTH, SUDDENLY DEATH COMES, AND EVERYTHING BECOMES DARK - AND SATAN WELCOMES HIS CUSTOMERS TO THE PLACE OF EVERLASTING TORMENT. I PRY THAT NONE OF US THAT ARE SAVED WILL EVER BE PART OF THAT ETERNAL TORMENT, IN JESUS NAME. AMEN......If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.....1ST CORINTHIANS 15:19.
