Luke 12:37 “Blessed are those servants whom the MASTER finds awake when HE comes.
Surging Forward!
As the LORD draweth closer, give heed to HIS words heard speaking through scripture…with Power.
Watch then most expectant like Gideon‘s men…serving faithfully, daily, each reverent hour!
Yea! Let’s sing till the End with the strongest of praises…our MASTER, REDEEMER, High TOWER and KING…
…WHO designed for this time Heav’ns assigned intersection! So let us rejoice with the voice of thanksgiving!
As those who reflect how much Grace they’ve been given, so surge serving HIM in this land …of the Living!
As HIServant thankfully forgiven all and ensuring my expectant longing and fervent praise exceeds every stone and previous level of Yesterday,

Devotional: Matthew 24:45-51 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant,c whom his MASTER has set over HIS household, to give them their food at the proper time?
46 Blessed is that servant whom his MASTER will find so doing when HE comes.
47 Truly, I say to you, HE will set him over all HIS possessions.
48 But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My MASTER is delayed,’
49 and begins to beat (mock and scoff) his fellow servantsd and eats and drinks with drunkards,
50 the MASTER of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know
51 and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
What a sobering warning, amen? HIS return WILL catch those not watching and mocking those who do…unaware.
So to all who are watching and gathering more so together as we see the Day approaching…
…what great praise must have been in the heart of the remorseful thief on his cross next to JESUS?!
What overwhelming depths of gratitude did Peter feel when CHRIST saved him from drowning?
What exhilarating freedom was his when JESUS later appeared to him with the other disciples…without any condemnation…even though they had all fled?!
What perfect and total love did Mary Magdalene have for our SAVIOUR WHO freed her from sins and the shame of 7 demons possessing her?
And what of the unmeasurable joy which the unnamed, sinful woman felt, she who kissed and anointed the feet of JESUS before anointing them with costly oil?
Luke 7:47 “Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.”
The common thread of these four examples AND you and me…is we all sinned.
We, being yet alive, sadly continue to sin as the flesh is still with us.
So the level of praise and expectancy of each looked and often looks different to each.
Those with greater debts of sin having been paid for by HIS blood, love greatly.
This compelling love for HE WHOSE life was given for us as the full ransom and total payment for our sins, causes me to watch and teach and share with great, daily zeal.
As previously mentioned, only GOD knows the heart’s cry and true motivation.
As a small child who loves their father with every part of their soul, so we are to faithfully watch and seek him with daily devotion.
It’s like a wedding anniversary. A couple can see the day approaching as a reminder of when they were married.
So they watch and look forward to that time with greater excitement than after it’s passed by a couple months.
As we’ve been given many a sign of HIS rapturous return to watch for in the Scriptures…
…so we know that the division of Israel, the peace agreement reaffirmed with many…signifies the punishment of “sudden destruction” for this foolish two state solution.
As such, there’s little little time left and repentance to and reconciliation with JESUS is of utmost and most urgent importance!
Therefore let none steal your oil or try to take your crown, telling you to tone down your trips to the door to see if it’s JESUS.
None know the heights of your gratitude for HIS grace which cleaned us from all our sins.
So sing out loud, reminding everyone of what HE said would precede HIS return for the church.
It is for an appointed time on HIS perfect calendar so do not try to discourage nor look down on others whose rigorous study points to the next appointed time.
Only GOD knows the exact moment but HE says this about those whose MASTER finds them quite actively watching,
Luke 12:37 “Blessed are those servants whom the MASTER finds awake when HE comes.
Truly, I say to you, HE will dress himself for service and have them recline at table, and HE will come and serve them.” That’s THE Wedding Feast!
So let us encourage each other greatly to look to HIS appointed time to return us Home.
Oh Self!
May we quickly and humbly recognize those with fervent zeal and equal study,
as having been forgiven so very much,
that they boldly point all to the anniversary of HIS next appointed time.
Amen and amen.
