The Spirit and the bride say “Come”.
On Friday, Pastor Tim spoke to us about the end times and how we need to pray for Jesus to come as is stated in Revelation ch 22.
For some reason, this really freaked me out, I felt really scared and didn’t at all want to pray for Jesus to come but I couldn’t understand why because logically, of course I want Him to come!
I talked to Pastor Tim about this and as we were talking, The Holy Spirit started to remind me of when I was a child and how I had read a Bible tract about the end times and how I had taken on a lot of fear from it because all I had seen was how awful everything would be, especially for Christians and because I loved Jesus, I knew that I would be one of those that would be persecuted but I was scared and didn’t want it to happen and so in my mind, I had decided that when Jesus came back, it would be awful and scary and so didn’t want it to happen. God really spoke to me through 2 Thessalonians ch 2 v 8:
“Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will consume with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the spleandour of His coming”
He has been showing me how strong Jesus is and how glorious and how amazing it will be when He comes back, I won’t have to be afraid of the devil and what he will do because Jesus already has the victory, Jesus is so amazing and so strong that just by his very arrival and just by the act of breathing, He will destroy the man of lawlessness! God has totally taken away my fear, I can see now that Jesus far supercedes anything or anyone that is against Him and so being in Jesus what do I have to fear?
So with a joyful and expectant heart I say “come Jesus come!”
