The "Rapture"

12/08/08

Dear Heavenly Father,

Is the rapture real? And if so, how do we or should we, prepare?

“Sands of time move ceaselessly. The answer is already upon your heart and is doing well. I forgive you for those you hurt, and I choose to face you in the right direction. The door stands wide open and ready for your footsteps. But you have yet a long way to go. The earth is in her prime and heaves with anticipation. You too should stand primed and ready, heaving with anticipation because it will be a day of great triumph! Be at peace. Be still. Know in your heart that all is well. Your Father will not abandon you.”

Will we be raptured?

“Yes.”

How?

“In the night and in the day, and in time - as it will stand still. He will lift you up. He knows His own. And loves them greatly. His power is unsurpassed within the world and within the glory of heaven, so be wise and repent and hold Him closely to you at all times. DO not let your soul sleep as is the unwise action of some. Pray for His protection and guidance always. Know that He is present even in slumber. He is not a light switch to be turned off and on, for He that turns off his love for the Christ is not of lover of truth. Keep your light lit at all times, and wait in anticipation for Him always.”

Do we know the exact time and hour of His coming?

“No. You will not know. And it is NOT for you to know. For, the true test lies within your willingness to trust Him with knowledge of time or energy. You are to be tested of your faithfulness even in the darkness. He will come triumphantly, and His presence will be known to all. But to some He will be a mystery. We should mourn for those, because their fears of the moment and the majesty will cause them death. They will cease due to their ignorance. So many tears will flow. My heart aches for those who are lost. Why? So, unnecessary. Is not my promise and His promise enough to sustain you?”

Is it wrong to try to know the time?

“Yes. It is full example of your distrust in me. It is proof of your unwillingness to relinquish your control and allow me full reign within your lives and within your hearts. Have you not yet learned to trust in me and to hand all duty to me? Have I not provided enough? You say, I trust in you Father, yet you counteract against me daily and in ways that makes me shutter in anger and fear for your heart and future. My love is grand, but my wrath complete. Faith and truth are your only shield. Use them wisely. For this world is full of thorns dividing you from the truth. Place all of your will, your faith, and your understanding upon me darling one. I am yours to be had, but I cannot force myself upon you. The grace within you will find me and I will embrace you with open arms. Love me. For I have loved you forever.”

Thank you Father. You are supreme and most amazing. Please be with me during my times of distraction and deceit. For I want to be taught and to be aware of my misleadings and mistruths. Please protect me all the days of my life. Amen.
