Red Dust Storm

I was awakened by my landlady early in the morning.."Joanna, come and look at this.."

Walked out and stared at the window and my jaw dropped because I've never seen anything like that before.. everywhere is in bright orange and the wind was gushing at full force.. visibility was poor and the bright orange colour- it was like I had orange lens over my eyes- immediately my mind wandered to the prophecy of the end days where the sun will be like blood and there will be destruction everywhere...

We have entered into spring 3 weeks ago here in Australia and have been seeing clear blue skies until today.. I can't describe the feeling of being engulfed in a sea of orange- it was a massive dust storm which has blown over this area and it lasted for many hours...

Someone commented that when they woke up.. they asked "Jesus , are you coming back today?".. well I thought to myself - if and when Jesus returns, we will hear the sound of the trumpet and in the twinkling of the eye, we will be caught up.. so if I am still asking Jesus is, that you..? would it also mean that I am already left behind... that is a wake up call really !!

I wouldn't want to be left behind... oh NO!!

In the church this week ,the pastor was just challenging each of us to make a difference and to be significant - to make everyday count...

At this juncture of time both the righteous and the unrighteous enjoy the general blessings of God because His Presence is still extended on earth.. where the sun shines and the rain falls and the unbelievers also get to enjoy the overflow of this Presence.. and you have many who are happy and asked -what do I need God for when I am already having everything??
but the day will come and it is sooner than we could anticipate ,when God will withhold and remove His Presence from the earth ie for those who don't accept Him , there will be an eternal separation where there will be darkness and gnashing of teeth forever.. a very real and frightening reality... be sober...

maybe many are still questioning and debating on the question that if God is a God of love , how can He send anyone to hell..?.. the answer is -it is not God will send but rather those who don't believe in Him and refuse to choose God, well, they have CHOSEN to be in the place where God will no longer be - a definite frightful thought of being eternally separated from this Source of Life, Source of Love and Source of Light- when you are separated from the Source of Life- you can only have death and torment and liken to an anguishing fire that keeps encroaching and burning and scorching forever and ever...

We who are in Christ definitely have the urgency to bring in the harvest- even if it means just One more soul because who can and be able to face eternal damnation- this is too important a mission for us to abort or worse still 'not to be bothered about because each soul is a heart beat and is important to God... let us not live life like yesterday.. let us catch the urgency and intensity and let us be propelled to be enrolled in the great army of God and as the Lord of Hosts goes forth- let us not be a step slower or be found slackened but be on spot and be counted for Him... be significant and bring the difference in....


Oh that when the day come, Maranatha, in the twinkling of the eye, I too will be caught up to my Beloved and as He looks into my eyes , He will say "welcome...my faithful servant , come enter into My rest...!! :o)
