FOREVER!

Revelation 11:15 NIV 

The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, 

and there were loud voices in heaven, which said:

‘The kingdom of the world has become

the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,

and he will reign for ever and ever.’

Hebrews 13:8 NKJV 

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, 

today, and forever.

Have you ever wondered what Forever looks like? How wide is it, how long and deep is it? Does forever look beautiful? Is it multi facetted? Will it reach into the unknown, into spaces we’ve never even imagined? Will we be aware of its passing from millennia to millennia? Forever stretches our imagination!😊

Forever is where God lives, where the Creator of all things moves and has His being, where time no longer exists. Forever involves something of unlimited worth, of a substance that can never fail, and it’s God’s own love for each one of us. 

Psalm 136:1 NIV Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.  He says He will love us forever, so whatever we have to do, wherever we have to go, whoever we have to meet, we know of a certainty that we carry inside us the love of Almighty God, who has declared His great love for us and says it will last forever.

And how comforting to know the Lord will reign forever, that nothing and no one can ever usurp His total supremacy and that Jesus our Messiah will be there, the same as He was when the disciples knew Him, only now He has all authority in all realms and He has the name above every name and every knee will bow to Him - forever.

So when we worship the Lord today, we can rejoice death is not the end. Whatever ‘forever’ looks like, sounds like or feels like, we can all be so grateful that best of all will be God’s mercy and love which will always be present forever and if Jesus is our Lord and Saviour then we will also be with Him - forever. Glory to God.😊

Thank You Lord forever. Amen.

THIS IS THE WAY; WALK IN IT

Isaiah 30:21 NIV Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

As you may have guessed from yesterday’s blog, the Lord has been ruffling our nest and asking us to step out in faith, out of our comfort zone, which will cause change in the days to come. We had been given the scriptures to back it up, we knew it was the right time to do it, but the other night I was hit with a bad fit of the wobbles, the what if’s!

When you wake at 3 am and can’t go back to sleep your thinking tends to be askew and by the time the morning fully came I’d decided I just couldn’t do it! I felt I didn’t have the courage or the faith to see it through. I wonder if you’ve ever been there? It felt too daunting and what if  ……?!

That’s not the end of the story though, praise God, because after much discussion, and God encouraging me in different ways, things are back on track and we know it’s right to go ahead and peace is now reigning once again! God helped me overcome the wobbles!😊

I thought it might help someone else to know we all have doubts from time to time when God is trying to move us onwards and upwards. The walk of faith is not necessarily easy, it has its ups and downs, its doubts and fears, and that’s ok as long as they don’t have the last word! 

It all comes back to God asking us to believe His promises no matter what! To step out in faith and trust Him, because at the end of the day we have to believe that whatever He says, or asks us to do, is possible because He’s in it with us to show us the way and how to walk in it.

So if God is telling you to do something, don’t back down or give up, because He says in due course you will reap a harvest. Nothing is impossible with God’s help and God has already prepared the way before we ever arrived on planet earth. 

He just wants each one of us to take the step of faith to walk into it and then He can show us the way forward.😊 Amen.

Have a blessed weekend.x😊
