Wipe away all tears – Rev 21:4

 

Vs 4 – There are six things the Lord is going to do during this time period.  He will wipe every tear from

Their eyes.  That means all the tears from whatever source will be dealt with.  He will remove all things

That cause tears to flow.  Next, there will be no more death.  Death was cast into the lake of fire.  The

Natural process of aging and the march towards eternity will be over because eternity is now the

Present reality.  No more mourning because no one will die and there will no longer be a separation.

You will always have fellowship with you family and friends.  No more crying because this new heaven

And earth, have the Lord here.  They will be eternal love, peace, joy and friendship. 

     There will no longer any pain.  The body will run perfectly.  They will be no more sickness, disease or

Infirmities.  The healer has quickened our mortal body.  All elements of sin which caused sickness and

Pain, have been removed.  Lastly, the old order of things has passed away.   What was ,will never be

again.  The world, the flesh and the devil which were part of the old order are gone.  The only order is

the reign and rule of God.

To the Church and Nation of Saint Kitts and Nevis

 

    You have had a dark past giving into demon forces, with witchcraft, idols, shamanism, and voodoo.  You were at times violent.  First, to each other and then with the Europeans who fought over you and with you.  In recent decades you have been up and down.  Yo

u have prospered and been in poverty.  Yet your greatest asset is how you have responded to me.  I have a great future for you if you choose it.  I will once again visit you with my Spirit and this move will influence all aspects of your society.  Satan has seen the signs and plans for a counter-attack but you can defeat him if you cling on to my following five promises.  First, repent of all your wicked ways.  Humble yourself, pray and seek my face.  Next, put on the whole armor of God and with it, you will be strong and mighty in me.  Next, remember the enemy you are facing is not natural and so you must defeat him with my weapons, armor, strategy, and wisdom.  Next, you must be wise among those who serve with you.  There is a secret group that will try to infiltrate you and sway you through slander, deceit, gossip, and lies.  They have the spirit of Jezebel in them.  Lastly, trust in me, my word and the truth I bring.  You will see many souls and many victories if you rely on and obey my promises.

Vignettes in Prayer

 

Vignettes of Prayer

 

  

   I am amazed that prayer is such a blessing but it is.  It also amazing that the creator of the universe would want to spend time with me every day.  George Mueller was was called the Prince of prayer believed that God was concerned about the smallest details of our lives.  Think about this, the creator of the universe is concerned about the smallest detail of his creation.  Jesus said that when a sparrow falls to the ground God knows about it.  That is amazing.  Recently we got a puppy who we called Baxter.  Now Baxter has brought a joy and confusion into our lives.  He loves to chase our cats and chew up our stuffies.  This is a small detail but let me give you the back story.  Baxter is a result of our British Bulldog named Balder becoming old and impaired.  We know that Balder is coming to the end of his life and he has been with us for almost ten years.    When we found of from the Vet that Balder’s time was coming to an end my wife was sad.  We then discussed the next phase of our pet situation and Lois told me she would love to have a Labrador Retriever next.  She then went online and on a local market site low and behold there were Lab pups available and for a decent price.  She met the breeders and in one day we had Baxter.  This is a small detail in the scheme of life but God provided.  So my exhortation today is give all the details of your life to the Lord and the Lord will provide as you trust him.  Tell God what is happening and you will be amazed how He answers.

To the Church and Nation of Rwanda

 

     You are struggling with your past and trying to come to grasp your future.  In the past, you followed the dark forces of Imana.  You gave yourself to idols, shamanism, witchcraft, folk religion with local deities and demons.  You were for a long time considered a dark and foreboding land.  You have also formed along with clans and tribes.  You have little love and tolerance for those outside your own people.  Others have exploited this and use it for their own gain.  This has caused war, slavery, and genocide.  As you come into your future you will have to renounce the sins of the past or you will repeat them over and over again.  You are in the valley of decision.  I want to use you but you must choose to come into love, unity, and peace.

    To my church, I have a rebuke and a promise.  First, the rebuke many of you have viewed me as synonymous with the traditional Rwandan God Imana.  That is why you put traditional practices into your services and festivals.  This cannot be.  Light has no place with darkness.  Bitter and sweet water does not come from the same source.  Death and life are not compatible.  Repent of these practices and serve the true and living God.  Now I have a promise to my church.  In the last days, you will reap a great harvest, especially among the young people.  They compose the majority of your land.  They are tired of clansmanship, poverty, racial tension and lack of opportunities.  They want to come into abundant and eternal life.  You will see a great move among them.  Teach them, love them and disciple them.  The cults will try to exploit that.  They need truth not lies.  I will pour out my spirit across clans, tribes, languages, and nations.  You will see reconciliation, unity, and healing.  It will days of victory and healing so go forth and see my love, peace, grace, mercy, and unity do it full work.

Holy City

Holy City – Rev 21:2-3

 

Vs 2-3 – John sees the Holy City coming out of heaven.  It is God’s gift to the inhabitants of the earth.  It

is prepared  as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.  The analogy and metaphor is applicable

here.  God is the bridegroom and the people of God are the bride.  Our new dwelling place will be the

New Jerusalem.  John then hears a voice announcing that God’s dwelling place will be among mankind. 

The Lord Himself will now dwell on earth.  He will be among them and they will be His people and God

Himself will be with them and be their God.  God will now take physical form and will dwell among us.

Fellowship will be complete.  Currently we worship Him in Spirit and in truth but now He will dwell

Among us.  This is a mind boggling concept because how will an omnipresent God do this.  Many

Scholars believe that this will be Jesus Himself that will do this.  Remember Jesus shows himself in the

Form of man and his anthropology is flesh and bones.
