Have you ever been so pent up with expectation and angst that you feel you are going to burst? Jesus said in this world you will have trouble but be of good cheer you have overcome the world. Indeed the troubles of this world makes me long for my full adoption as a son of God!
As I see the rapture of the church getting closer every day, my groaning within can seem unbearable!!
Romans 8. I see the evil around me getting worse. I see more and more people deceived and burying their heads in the sand. I see people willing to give up their freedoms and stab their own family in the back to get ahead and fit in with the world.Every since Covid hit, Ive been feeling an angst like Ive never experienced before. I long to be with Christ, but I feel a warrior spirit rising up in me at the same time. I want to fight! I want to fight the good fight of faith! I want to combat the lies, the deceptions, the ism’s of the day! I want to wake people up and bring others to Christ! Jesus said work while it is day, a time is coming when no man can work.
In Ephesians it tells us to redeem the time for the days are evil. We are living in the days when Christ is going to come back for His bride any day now! Prophecy is going to be fulfilled! We are sons of the day and will not be surprised when the thief comes.
The world will experience turmoil, evil, and deception until the second coming. But for the born-again believer in Christ, we have hope in the rescue plan. So despite what some people even in the Christian community are saying, Christ will come back and snatch his bride away!
This angst I believe, is the Lord stirring in me to move me to action! The Bible says our labor in the Lord is not in vain! So with this increasing angst I will continue to abound in the work of the Lord! I can stand with the apostle Paul who said, to depart and be with Christ is far better, but if I remain in the body it means more fruit!
Jesus said the harvest is plenty but the laborers a few! Let’s get busy while we still have time!
