Thank you for this reminder that when we fall short of the glory of God, He will never leave us. Instead, He always be there for us, lovingly correct us, give us His strength to make it through each day, and encourage us to continue doing our Kingdom of God work.preachingwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849269781469524132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912778770520375193.post-39621987117879412252013-01-04T07:49:45.747-06:002013-01-04T07:49:45.747-06:00Great Post.

Good questions on Rev. 1:1-3. Since 1:...Hi Elbert,<br /><br />Good questions on Rev. 1:1-3. Since 1:1 mentions "soon" and 1:3 says the time is near, you twice ask when these events will happen. Usually, readers think of Jesus' second coming; then that raises the question of why it didn't come soon.<br /><br />You connect this time urgency with motivation for changing our lives. I think this connection is seen already in Rev. 2. In 2:5, Jesus warns that if the church does not repent (change their lives), he will come to them and remove their lampstand. They have abandoned their first love and works, and if they do not return to those, Jesus will come (through the witness of John) and speak a further judgment that the church is not spreading light and thus not a lampstand, not a true church. Thus this coming soon is not about Jesus' "second coming," but about his coming through prophetic words against a disobedient church.<br /><br />Similarly, in 2:16 Jesus says he will come soon and "fight" against them (another disobedient church) with the sword of his mouth. It's a war of words, coming soon through a servant like John, if the church does not repent.<br /><br />Certainly Rev. will also witness to the "second coming" (already in 1:7), but this is not spoken of as soon. It will be the final coming of many earlier comings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912778770520375193.post-85420303140686117772012-06-12T20:45:01.278-05:002012-06-12T20:45:01.278-05:00Korean churches in the U.S. do Tong Sung prayer al...Korean churches in the U.S. do Tong Sung prayer aldo.

Once, when going through a particularly bad one, when each day was a pain and my only prayer was to cry Jesus, i had a friend and we would cheer each other up with a shared giggle- it was to quote James- 'consider it pure JOY my friend!' it was far from joy but, as you say the trial and hard graft pay off. Thanks for sharing, your words are good. Im in another battle just now- both my lovely kids are depressed following flu a year ago- my girl was heading for a year in Hillsongs to serve the Lord... My real fear is that she will be robbed of this. Keep writing, I will keep trusting God and claiming their healing. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17170430289960778341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912778770520375193.post-7699273173352217922012-02-05T18:59:58.012-06:002012-02-05T18:59:58.012-06:00Amen!

I too am thankful MY wife has chosen to put up with me...also for 37 yrs. And even more I am thankful that the Lord decided to call me to be one of his children.

Resolutions don't work beyond the frist few days of the new year!<br /><br />However, knowing that God has the most awesome plans for us, we should be able to trust Him wholeheartedly. He says, "I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope." Jeremiah 29:11 (GWT). <br /><br />So, instead of making resolutions, we should depend on God. “Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil! Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life! Honor God with everything you own; give him the first and the best. Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over.” Proverbs 3: 5-11 (MSG)<br /><br />Happy new year!<br /><br />With every blessinRev Pedro Okorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15794708931497562930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912778770520375193.post-56092780302685722342011-12-26T07:22:43.166-06:002011-12-26T07:22:43.166-06:00Great post Elbert. have been sharing a bit this mo...Great post Elbert. have been sharing a bit this morning while out and about in town.
