TROUBLE IN PARADISE? OR ON THE BEACHES?

Troubled about many things:

DIVERSIONS,...WATCH OUT!!!

_______________________________________________________________________
We Are Taking Oil With Us thus we 'Have' an Anchor for our Souls~

There are many things that seem to be easily turning many Christians to 'hunt' after.

God's Holy Spirit causes His Own to not know these hounds as well.
To not be a part of them,...to not imitate.
To pull some out, yes, should God lead.

Many diversions are trying 'take our oil' away
from us that we not have enough for
ourselves when the Bride Groom comes. We
may all sleep but in the end our Oil didn't run
out.


What is our Oil:
1. The Message of The Cross of Christ
2. The Forgiveness that God gave us for Christs' sake.
3. The Message of the Gospel of Christ
4. The pursuing on into Perfection walking in
our inheritance and promises from God alone.
5. In all these things the Lost 'ARE' found and moving on in right directions With God
rather than turning back to things of this life and being it's hound,...it's dog.

These are no diversions.
These are our focus in all matters.
Jesus is Life and An Anchor to our Souls!

___
Be Not a 'hound' of many things. One thing is needed:

Luke 10:40-42
41 And Jesus answered and said to her,
"Martha, Martha, you are worried and
troubled about many things.

42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has
chosen that good part, which will not be
taken away from her." NKJV
___

Definitely on this earth we are Not Home Yet!

I come from a Christian understanding by being 'awakened' by God,...I wasn't even
looking for Him.

But I am starting to understand that all these things are 'a diversion' to the one thing
that does Anchor our soul. And that is The Good News of what Christ really did
accomplish on the Cross for our forgiveness that God might Bless us now and after we die
to be with Him.

If we are not with Him now, do you think that we will be with Him when we die? So why is
many getting into fear,...if some were With God they are With God now no more roaming
the beach.

I suppose the question is: When you die do you want to know that you will be kept no
more to roam?

But Scriptures tells us that we are either with God in Heaven or in Hell. Thus this all
is a diversion to God's very Truth of Jesus Christ the one Who can only Wash your sins
away to be spotless before the very God who made you.

Draw near to God, ---> ~and~ His 'departure' will come to an end.

MAY THE TRUE ‘DEPARTED SOUL’ PLEASE STAND UP!

Ps 6:4 ~Return,~ O LORD, deliver me!

If a greater love was to be displayed it would have been in the Book of Acts.
The Apostle Paul did not chase after the dead to heal any ‘departed souls.’

____________________________
Do we want to ‘send the departed’ back to God or do we want God to be ~no more~ ‘departed’ from our own soul. And are we truly, at times, the ‘departed soul’ from all Who God really is?

What ~are~ we to see in the subject of 'departed souls? Ok,...there we are, we hear the bangs and the thumps on the walls and still what ~is~ God teaching us? What ~are we to see?

Scripture shows that where there is darkness God is not in it. We are to understand that 'God has departed.' The graciousness of the Spirit would implore us to 'draw near to Him and then He will draw near ~BACK~ to us.' In the grave who will give God thanks!

Ps 6:4-8
4 ~Return,~ O LORD, deliver me!
Oh, save me for Your mercies' sake!
5 For in death there is no remembrance of You;
In the grave who will give You thanks?

6 I am weary with my groaning;
All night I make my bed swim;
I drench my couch with my tears.
7 My eye wastes away because of grief;
It grows old because of all my enemies.

8 ~Depart~ from me, all you workers of iniquity;
For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping. NKJV

Draw near to God, ---> ~and~ God’s 'departure' will come to an end.

Scripture tells us clearly our answers. It's all there for our understanding for us to search out matters where by we might find ~His Grace~ through ~His Return.~

Jesus is still the Answer in Life that God's 'departure' might ~be no more.~ That men might come back to God through Jesus.

I am beginning to see how much God has spoken about the word 'depart' and 'departed' but the view and the Scriptures all tell about What God has done for man and still what
His Grace is instructing us to do, for in the grave who will give Thanks to God?

If we keep "His Witness" Jesus will still draw all men unto Himself whereby they might 'be saved' before they die. For in the grave who will give Thanks to God?

May we ask again for 'the favor and presence' of the Lord that we might eat before the Lord in sacrifice so that we might learn the Fear of the Lord. And that many might see this where by they might draw near unto God that God might draw near unto them. 1

John 1:5
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. KJV
