30 seconds after the rapture, nothing will matter.

No matter where we find ourselves: Heaven or Earth.

The things that kept us from serving God and following Truth will be meaningless.

"But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking,

marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away;

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

Matthew 24:37-39

The valleys and mountaintops, trials and tribulations of the faithful will dim into forgetfulness.

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;

and there shall be no more death,

neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:

for the former things are passed away."

Revelation 21:4

Nothing will matter, then.

But it does, NOW!

Overcoming the 'god' in Me

Recently, I received an email that linked me to a website that encouraged people to alter their universe with positive thoughts. It said if you think things that make you feel good, then you're on the right track, and vise-versa. The writer went on to say that our human thoughts can create: think illness, create illness; think prosperity, create prosperity. It was a testament to human god-ness.

Years ago, I was lost in a muddle of circumstance and chaos. Counselors taught me the power of positive thinking, self esteem, power of self and creating my own destiny, etc. I have to be honest, it helped me DEAL with my circumstance, but it didn't HEAL me. I put my trust in cards, astrology, psychic powers and karma, readings, numbers and I even believed in the spoken word as power over my situation. (spells???)

When I ceased to be my own "god" (meaning that I no longer believed that I was the creator of my own universe-destiny), things began to change. This happened when I was introduced to a Creator; the ONE God, the true Creator and Redeemer. When Jesus Christ manifested Himself in my life in a real and tangible way, it rocked my universe!

Immediately the meaning of right/wrong, yes/no, bondage/freedom, sin/forgiveness, free will/pride made sense to me. I understood that my life would NEVER change unless I released myself to the Creator, Jesus Christ.

My life has changed. I have changed.

When I repented of my sins-He forgave me. I felt amazing. It was like nothing I'd ever experienced before. Then, according to the Word of God, I was baptized in Jesus' name. This washed me clean-again, no experience up to that point had made any kind of impact on me. After being baptized, I was DIFFERENT. It was at that point that I allowed Jesus Christ in to my heart and He came to reside in me according to His promise. I was baptized with the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking with other tongues. This wasn't something I DID...it just happened. It is a gift.

Since then, God has been faithful and AMAZING!

Do I still have choice? Yes, of course. But, I know a better way. I could continue doing those things I did before, but, I've been given a REASON not to!

Do I still have free will? Yes. It wasn't until I received the Spirit of Christ that I had the power to utilize it.

Can my universe be recreated? It has been through the power of Christ-the True Creator.

Do thoughts and words affect my spirit and soul? Absolutely. The Bible says so! Prayer is spoken. Praise and worship are spoken!

Consider Christ. Why is it that He is the ONE thing that all forms of religions and secular beliefs want to dispute/refute? Even among the "Christian" population, there is discord and contention about WHO HE is. Yet, being a God of all and smarter than any of us-He left a map called His Word. It says that man's wisdom is foolishness to God. So, when people say, "I don't believe God meant that for today" or "That isn't what God really meant" I wonder at their arrogance and am amazed that they would think themselves wiser than the Lord!

I encourage all to seek Truth, not religion.
There's just one thing: You must believe.
