Time Is Running Out……

What do you do when you realize time is running out?

I woke up this morning singing a song that I listened to years ago.

Then again another day, I woke up to the same melody.

You think Holy Spirit is trying to get a point across here?

Time is running out!

I asked Him if it was a personal word or a word……

Read on……

The lyrics are sung over and over and over…….

What do we do?

Oh, Oh!!!!

Go to the store and by up time?

As many folks did in beginning stages of COVID, they bought a stock pile of toilet paper.

I still do not understand that rational at all.

However, where do you go to get time?

Almost a pause to think the question…..

Where do you go to get your next breath, or your next day.

Where do we go to get more time?

Why would we need more time?

Why do we want more time?

I guess that is why seize the day became known.

Hmmm……..

When the sound of heaven bellows out

which changes everything,

will we know that what was written

as metaphors are now our reality .

For example, the mountains will melt like wax…….as wrtitten.

The school of life is up.

The school is out and not just for the summer……

There is no summer school or getting credits at a later time,

What do we do?

Time is running out…….

The scenarios that point to His promises and prophecies,

which have been prophesied in the Word of God before our eyes will be fulfilled.

As the darkness is getting darker and as His Light is getting brighter in His people.

We shall see accumulation of time manifest before our eyes.

His Day will to be seen will be as bright as the noon day sun……..

Those who are [spiritually] wise will shine brightly

like the brightness of the expanse of heaven,

and those who lead many to righteousness,

[will shine] like the stars forever and ever,

( Daniel 12:3)..

Remember, we have the spiritual understanding to discern the times,

just as we discern when a storm from the west is approaching.

The sound of many waters is roaring loudly from the earth to heaven.

Heaven is responding back with His sound as the sound of many waters.

I pray we know the frequency

and stay tuned in.

A new sound as we have never heard before…..

Pray for the spiritual understanding to hear and……

do not despise the newness and the different way.

Can you hear?

Can you see?

Do you want to?

Or do you care?

Do not let the cares of the world seize your ability to look up and wonder……

Prepare the way of the Lord around you.

Brothers and sisters,

I do not consider that I have made it my own yet;

but one thing I do:

forgetting what lies behind

and reaching forward to what lies ahead,

I press on toward the goal to win

the [heavenly] prize of the upward call

of God in Christ Jesus.

All of us who are mature

[pursuing spiritual perfection]

should have this attitude.

And if in any respect

you have a different attitude,

that too God will make clear to you,

( Philippians 3:13-21).

Time is running out……

Time is running out.

Before I hear, oh we can not be perfect, we will always miss the mark….

What about changing the concept of perfect to complete,

missing nothing.

Well, a long time ago,….

when God was establishing a covenant with Abraham,

one of the instructions to Abraham were as given in Genesis 17:1-2:

When Abram was ninety-nine years old,

the Lord appeared to him and said,

I am God Almighty;

walk before me faithfully and be blameless.

Then I will make my covenant between me and you

and will greatly increase your numbers.”

God spoke to Abraham to be blameless,

other versions say walk perfect before Him…..

I will never forget that day I read the above scripture.

I had read many times this chapter before but,…….

this time I thought about it being said to me directly.

I then walked on the beach, looking at all the sand that was around.

Seeing the impact of God’s promise the Lord spoke to Abraham.

Grains of sand was beyond countable as Abraham’s lineage is…….

His descendants will be as the sand,(as written in Genesis 22:17),

farther than Abraham could see…… was God’s promise to him.

And He changed Abram’s name to Abraham………

As I saw the numerous grains of sand

and thought You are perfecting this promise to Abraham still

as well as doing the promise that Abraham walked before you blamelessly…..

Yet, you have given me Your Holy Spirit to help me

so I may live out Your promise to Abraham and to me….

You have given me Your name, Your blood and Your precious Spirit,

which is all I need to walk blameless, ( or perfect or complete), before You.

But knowing the walk of faith in allowing you to show me,

all of Your salvation that is intended for me to be.

Thank You for continuing giving me the understanding and wisdom to live wise

and blameless before You……as You hear Your body speak to You.

Learning to lean on You for everything is Your way for me.

Never leaving Your righteousness and the covering of Your blood…..

and Your new garment of Holy Spirit.

Thank You for Your strong grace and love

to keep us close to You and in You.

Thank You for all You have done

and are doing

and will do for us when

We leave this time and continue to rest in Your fullness of eternity.

So in asking, I had received some understanding:

The just shall live by faith.

Faith in Him in all He is doing in us,

not of us, but You in us then,

can we be all that He has called us to be…..

All Him, shall be in us for then

and only then shall we be complete

and found before Him blameless….

Oh yes, in Your day, may we only be found resting in You…..

His righteousness is the only righteous that we can be…..

I am nothing, but I am His.

That is all that matter’s to me.

I am His and found in Him, I am complete.

This is the only blameless that can I be,

found in Him because my trust is in His word

and His promises to me.

Then as I live now and then I shall be complete in His eternity,

that He has spoken of to me.

This is His way to know Him now so when His Day sounds,

we shall see completion of what has been spoken of to you and to me.

We already live in His eternity, do you not see?

The knowledge He has called us is so much enough for me,

but He has planned much more, if we would only believe.

May this be a foundational thought, we have the mind of Christ as written in:

The man without the Spirit does not accept the things ,

that come from the Spirit of God,

for they are foolishness to him,

and he cannot understand them,

because they are spiritually discerned.

“For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?”

But we have the mind of Christ ,

(2 Corinthians 14-16).

Finally, my fellow believers, continue to rejoice and delight in the Lord.

To write the same things again is no trouble for me, and it is a safeguard for you.

 Look out for the dogs [the Judaizers, the legalists],

look out for the troublemakers,

look out for the false circumcision [those who claim circumcision is necessary for salvation];  

for we [who are born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually transformed,

renewed, set apart for His purpose and]

are the true circumcision,

who worship in the Spirit of God and glory 

and take pride and exult in Christ Jesus

and place no confidence [in what we have or who we are] in the flesh— 

[if I were pursuing salvation by works].

If anyone else thinks that he has reason to be confident in the flesh

[that is, in his own efforts to achieve salvation], 

( Philippians 3:1-4).

Jesus is returning to get His bride…….

as written with out spot or wrinkle in our soul, not our body!

Thank God!!!

Are you ready?

Life will not return to normal, because He is coming…..

YAHOO!!!!

Do we really know what normal is any way?

Do we think normal is as a place called Utopia?

This concept in this broken world really does not exist….

Yet, there is eternity in God which is knowing Him as scripture states.

and His goodness beyond we can think or imagine for us now and in the next age.

God has been separating the waters of the earth from the heavens since day two of creation…..

And probably way before what we know as written in time……

When time is up, the final separation in this age is completed by His rule.

Normal is a lie….

Things happen so we may learn to call and trust in the name of the Lord.

For all to see, His salvation that He has come

to give to all by His blood shed and resurrection.

This is the secret to walk before Him blamelessly, by faith in Him.

We have the mind of Christ and put on the helmet of salvation as it is written.

Gird ourselves with the belt of Truth…….

He is here to meet the need of all…….

Our souls desire their Lover and He is returning.

You can count on it just as when the sun does not rise, He will be seen by all!

Now for those who think this concept is foolish, do not worry He will give you your desires…..

Proverbs 1:14 states:

Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own fancy.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying:

Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us?”

And I said: “Here am I. Send me!”

And He replied: “Go and tell this people, 

Be ever hearing, 

but never understanding; 

be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’ 

Make the hearts of this people calloused;

deafen their ears and close their eyes.

Otherwise they might see with their eyes,

hear with their ears,

understand with their hearts,

and turn and be healed.”…( Isaiah 6:8-10).

Before you think to yourself-

well, that is the Old Testament,

Jesus Christ also quoted the same scripture……

Hmmmmm….

Hear Him spoken to all from Almighty God on high—–

written in the Gospel of John on the Mount of Transfiguration.

Check it out for yourself.

I remember when I was a kid and my brothers and I would be squabbling.

A play/ fight got out of hand.

Well, when it really reached the end of my Dad’s patience.

We heard his easy chair get to the upright position- a big CLUNK was heard!!!

Oh, oh, we knew from experience what that meant….

We scattered to our own corners in our rooms,

as quick as what happens when a teacher walks back into a classroom……

The squabbling and chaos ended immediately……

There is the same sound when our Heavenly Father will allow time to end…..

It will not be the sound of a clunk of an easy chair getting to the upright position,

but it may be His clap,

as sounding of His thunder mixed with lightnings and trumpets

and the sound as many waters sound…..

We do not know exactly,

but we will keep our eyes to heaven, for whence our help will come.

Be still our soul, for He the waves still obey His voice.

So as His Son still is speaking to us through His Spirit, we hear and obey…..

His precious Words from the Word of God.

That same day Jesus went out of the house

and was sitting beside the sea of Galilee.

But such large crowds gathered around Him that

He got into a boat

and sat there [positioning Himself as a teacher],

He while the whole crowd stood on the shore.

He told them many things in [a]parables,

saying,“Listen carefully: a sower went out to sow seed in his field];

and as he sowed, some seed fell beside the road between the fields],

and the birds came and ate it.

Other seed fell on rocky ground,

where they did not have much soil;

and at once they sprang up because they had no depth of soil.

But when the sun rose, they were scorched;

and because they had no root, they withered away.

Other seed fell among thorns, and thorns came up and choked them out.

Other seed fell on good soil and yielded grain,

some a hundred times as much[as was sown],

some sixty [times as much], and some thirty.

He who has ears [to hear], let him hear

and heed My words.”

Then the disciples came to Him and asked,

Why do You speak to the crowds in parables?”

Jesus replied to them,

To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven,

but to them it has not been granted.

For whoever has [spiritual wisdom because he is receptive to God’s word],

to him more will be given, and he will be richly and abundantly supplied;

but whoever does not have [spiritual wisdom because he has devalued God’s word],

even what he has will be taken away from him.

This is the reason I speak to the crowds in parables:

because while [having the power of] seeing they do not see

,and while [having the power of] hearing they do not hear,

nor do they understand and grasp [spiritual things].

In them the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says,

You will hear and keep on hearing, but never understand;

And you will look and keep on looking, but never comprehend;

For this nation’s heart has grown hard,

And with their ears they hardly hear,

And they have [tightly] closed their eyes,

Otherwise they would see with their eyes,

And hear with their ears,

And understand with their heart, and turn [to Me]

And I would heal them [spiritually].’

But blessed[spiritually aware, and favored by God] are your eyes,

because they see; and your ears, because they hear.

I assure you and most solemnly say to you,

many prophets and righteous men

[who were honorable and in right standing with God]

longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it,

( Matthew 13: 1-17).

 Yet the house of Israel says,

‘The way of the Lord is not right!’

O house of Israel,

are My ways not right?

Is it not your ways that are not right?

 “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, ( or any nation- my add),

each one in accordance with his conduct,” says the Lord God.

“Repent (change your way of thinking)

and turn away from all your transgressions,

so that sin may not become a stumbling block to you. 

 Cast away from you all your transgressions

which you have committed [against Me],

and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit!

For why should you die, O house of Israel? 

 For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies,” says the Lord God.

“Therefore, repent and live!”,

(Ezekiel 18:29-32)


To the faithful You show Yourself faithful,

to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;

to the pure You show Yourself pure, 

but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd. 

For You save an afflicted people, but You humble those with haughty eyes,.…

( Psalm 18 :25-27).

Do not be deceived God will not be mocked as written Galatians 6:7:


Do not be deceived,

God is not mocked,

He will not allow Himself to be ridiculed,

nor treated with contempt,

nor allow His precepts to be scornfully set aside];

for whatever a man sows,

this and this only is what he will reap.

For the one who sows to his flesh [his sinful capacity,

his worldliness, his disgraceful impulses]

will reap from the flesh ruin and destruction,

but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life,

( Galatians 6:7-8).

But as for you, 

O man of God,

flee from these things;

aim at and pursue righteousness [true goodness, moral conformity to the character of God],

godliness [the fear of God], faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness. 

Fight the good fight of the faith [in the conflict with evil];

take hold of the eternal life to which you were called,

and [for which] you made the good confession [of faith] in the presence of many witnesses.  

I solemnly charge you in the presence of God,

who gives life to all things, and [in the presence] of Christ Jesus,

who made the good confession [in His testimony] before Pontius Pilate, 

to keep all His precepts without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,  

which He will bring about in His own time—

He who is the blessed and only Sovereign [the absolute Ruler],

the King of those who reign as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords,  

He alone possesses immortality [absolute exemption from death]

and lives in unapproachable light,

whom no man has ever seen or can see.

To Him be honor and eternal power and dominion!

Amen.

Time is running out……

Can you go to Google or Amazon and buy some more?

Maybe it is on sale?

Is your next breath on sale?

Is tomorrow on sale somewhere for a bargain?

What about next year, is there a buy one get one free going on for more time?

He is waiting for you to turn His way-

Look up to Him and learn His ways….

Be born of Him again.

Honoring His sacrifice on the cross, covered in His blood,

then we can walk His way, only by His grace and Holy Spirit,

not by our flesh can we even try

to learn and grow in maturity in Christ.

Our days in the flesh may end but,

in Christ, we go on forever and ever,

His resurrected life in Him and us never ends……

for He is our End and our Beginning too.

Our place and rest in Him go on and on,

as time goes bye-bye and we wave it so.

Yet, our life in Christ keeps on going for all eternity,

never an end in sight.

A higher dimension will be revealed.

The resurrected life eternal that we partake in-

will step into the land of the next age in Christ.

The Ark has landed!

His grace has proved all that He has said is Truth.

All of His mystery will be revealed, the tabernacle of God will be

manifested in His glory as we are part of all of that because of Him!!!!

Glory to God forever and ever,…….

AMEN AND AMEN!!

Now we walk before Him and be perfect…. And you say huh?

Read where the word complete is found in New Testament.

Then you shall abound.

We know our purpose is to know Him,

because it is all about Him,

and really nothing on us except we lean on Him for everything.

We learn to see how He is the fulfillment

for our complete salvation and peace,

from His grace and love.

We never end as we are found in Him on His day when time folds up its lines and

goes away….

Some enter in to His Kingdom and some enter into everlasting fire.

Do not fear the future which is so near,

if you rest in Him…..

When the revealing of His Ark is seen,

there will be His beloved surrounding the great I AM,

known and seen as He ……

So as a child we wait til we may go to school….

Then we get excited to enter in to middle school

and then high school…..

We ever wait till we keep climbing up to the time to enter into the university……

We keep looking for a better tomorrow…..

Why?

Because we know in our heart of hearts, there is more…..

We know there is more, because He said so……..

Come up here and see what will be for those who believe.

And those who raise their fist to the One who loves them with an everlasting love,

Do not be concerned, you will get exactly what you believe.

But you cannot run or hide from the Holy One who keeps dropping His Seeds of love,

right in front of you so you may turn

before it is so late that you passed the time of His grace.

“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins,

who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.  

Five of them were foolish [thoughtless, silly, and careless], 

and five were wise [far-sighted, practical, and sensible].  

For when the foolish took their lamps, they did not take any [extra] oil with them, 

 but the wise took flasks of oil along with their lamps. 

 Now while the bridegroom was delayed,

they all began to nod off, and they fell asleep.  

But at midnight there was a shout,

‘Look! The bridegroom [is coming]!

Go out to meet him.’  

Then all those virgins got up and put their own lamps in order [trimmed the wicks and added oil and lit them]. 

But the foolish virgins said to the wise,

‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’  

But the wise replied,

‘No, otherwise there will not be enough for us and for you, too;

go instead to the dealers and buy oil for yourselves.’ 

But while they were going away to buy oil,

the bridegroom came,

and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast;

and the door was shut and locked. 

Later the others also came, and said, ‘Lord, Lord, open [the door] for us.’ 

 But He replied, ‘I assure you and most solemnly say to you,

I do not know you [we have no relationship].’ 

Therefore, be on the alert [be prepared and ready], 

for you do not know the day nor the hour [when the Son of Man will come,)

( Matthew 25:11-13).

Please look up and see the signs of the times

and time is running out.

Know you cannot run to catch it…

Time cannot be found on the moon.

Or another planet will not have some stored up.

When Heavenly Father gets His set fulfillment of His creation,

the time will be gone and so will we,

up to the throne for all to see,

the King of all and the Great I AM,

who took the fall.

The same Ancient of Days that calls us out

to bring us in to be His bride again.

All has been given from His hand

so that we can keep rising to His side again.

Do not stop.

Do not hesitate to apprehend all that He has laid up for us.

Father God,

We are waiting and leaning into Your Son by Your Spirit of grace….

We hold You precious, more precious then gold, silver or this world……

We listen to Your Son with all diligence of our determination…..

Keep us close by Your grace

and fill us with Your endurance in following all that You have said.

May we be found in You today,

and when You appear before our face…..

May we shine with the glory of Your eye

and never be ashamed as Your Word has said…..

Fill us with a heart full of spiritual understanding

so as we discern the sky,

we will not miss the signs of Your time.

May our endurance not take flight.

May we always know we are in Your sight,

that we keep close as a fledgling to it’s mom,

still learning to fly high from Your eye…..

Knowing we are flying by and for Your glory,

but we remain in Your Presence to keep steady through the winds.

Your Bread to keep us sustained according to Your will.

Praise be Yours for all days and forever.

We give You all our praise.

Be filled with joy as You hear our voice lift You high.

We exalt You around the world as the sound of many waters!

Our Omnipotent God reigns!

Holy, holy Lord God Almighty!

Who was and is and is to come!

All praise and honor go to our

Beloved Holy One!

Selah!!!

I pray that He may strengthen

 and establish your hearts

without blame in holiness

in the sight of our God and Father

at the coming of our Lord Jesus

with all His saints (God’s people),

( 1 Thessalonians 3:13).

Now may the God of peace

Himself sanctify you through and through

[that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things,

make you pure and whole and undamaged—

consecrated to Him—

set apart for His purpose];

and may your spirit and soul and body

be kept complete

and [be found] blameless

at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,

( 1 Thessalonians 5:23).

Meet with Him, spend time with Him….. Know Him while we can….

Tomorrow is not promised….

Seize the day that He has given us to know Him.

He loves you and is waiting for you to invade heaven.

Live with Him and be living in an open heaven.

Seize His grace and know Him today!

His way is Heaven’s gateway!

Selah!!
