Obedience is Taking The Land
.. Christ has paid the cost for that promised land for us and you have to press in for it. Look to the cross, look to what it cost our saviour – what He’s given you and I. It doesn’t matter how you feel, it doesn’t matter what your circumstances are, it’s what God says in His Word. Let’s rise up, let’s not take second best.. but the very best that He’s given to us because we’re so at the end of this race that we’re in. We’re seeing the signs of the times.. God shaking the heavens and the earth..
.. Ready For Rapture
.. The world is going down and down, we are going up and up. Just as the flood came – lifted and .. raised Noah’s family above the tides of judgement so likewise the Spirit now whose working within us is raising us up in glory so that we will be ready for when the Rapture comes. That spiritual ark – that Philidelphian church that remained faithful to Jesus – His Word Love and Faithfulness. Jesus said ‘ if you love me you will keep my commandments. ‘
Uncompromising Obedience
.. So is my obedience to God costing others? If you are obedient it is, but your obedience is answering your prayers – is saving your loved ones – is healing your body – is meeting all your needs – is using you in your ministry as an example reaching out to this dying world. It isn’t rocket science it’s just that we need to yield and stop resisting.. .. ..
Jeremiah 7:22 For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
