Rose Colored Glasses
So, what do we do in the face of reality? Do we put on our rose-colored glasses, try to stay positive, and look on the bright side? (First you have to find the bright side.) Where the HECK is the bright side anyway? Even for those of us living in relative "peace", there's the never-ending bills, bills, bills. And those awful people we have to work with every day. And, sickness, pain, pollution and, finally ---death. Where's the bright side?Many of us try to avoid the News because, no news is good news. Who's killing who today? Who's blowing up what? Where was the mega-quake today? And, on and on it goes. We figure it's only a matter of time before our worst nightmare shows up on our doorstep. We worry for our children, our finances, our spouses, and ourselves, ...
Coffee! More coffee! God help me to get through one more day. Help me to focus on surviving this one day. Help me put the endless bill payments, low salary, long hours, and failing economy out of my head.
As born-again believers, we have more hope than those who are not believers. Let's face it. We know who we are, Who our God is, and where we're going when we die. (Or, we should know!) Our hope is in Jesus, in His resurrection, eternal life, God's mercy, and --eventually, ALL THE ANSWERS. Right? So, it's encouraging when the Lord gives you a word that cracks everything wide open --in a good way that is.
On February 20, 2018, I received this prophecy.
See Through God's Eyes
"The bigger your vacuum, the more Spirit I can pour into your heart. The more you desire Me, the closer I come to you. We become one. You become a part of God and see the universe through God's eyes ---the good, the potential, the reason for everything, My design, My desires, and the plans I have for it all.
My creation has a plan. Nothing will go to waste and there's a reason for everything ---every word spoken or written, every thought, every breath, every idea, every pain, every move made on this planet.
Everything can be rectified, sanctified, reclaimed, reborn, re-purposed, refurbished, reunited with its maker. Every piece of coal can become a diamond. Every disaster can be swallowed up in love and recreated into something good, something wonderful.
Love is creative, empowering, enriching, fulfilling, uniting, building, blessing, thrilling, enlightening, forgiving, cleansing, bonding, calming, soothing, healing, mending, blending, refreshing, uplifting, inspiring, recreating, understanding, sympathizing, enduring, communicating, possible, prophetic, penetrating, visionary. It sees the possibilities in every circumstance.
God is in Control
Although our senses may tell us that the world is on fire in the basement and we're all going to hell in a hand-basket, we just need to remind ourselves that GOD IS ON CONTROL.What? How can you say God is in control? Children are starving, people are poverty stricken, diseases are out of control, the earth is rocking and reeling! We're on the verge!
I can say that God is in control of MY LIFE and God is in control of every life that He holds in His hands. God and His angels are the Super Powers on this earth today. Not Satan.
Yes, God gave Satan this world to live in and try to control as much as people would allow him to. And, it sure seems that many human beings have let him step in, step up and take over. But, we haven't! You and I, fellow believers in the Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord, we have NOT surrendered!
So, no matter how bad it looks and sounds, no matter how terrible things get or seem to get, the true believers and followers of Jesus Christ will HOLD. There is a red ribbon of the Blood of Jesus tied securely around our souls, pulling us out of harm's way and guiding us closer to Him until one of these days it will raise us up out of these mortal earthbound bodies to rise into the sky at the last trump! Then EVERYTHING but EVERYTHING will be healed, mended, cleansed and purified. Every tear will be wiped away. And a smile will be on every face --of all those who believed!
