// thoughts

The other post I put up was about the messages that I had initially heard regarding the weekend with Ate. I also included some of my thoughts in there - this post is mostly about what was said and less on my thoughts these aren't exact quotes so please bare with me...

-when you have a guest, who should greet first? (this was in response to Him being there and people coming into the room where He was with no "greeting," He is our guest so we must greet Him)
-I am not the price you paid for this weekend
-I am not here to answer your questions, I am not the one on trial here
-I came not for you, I came because you need me
-Why are you seeking the living among the dead, Christ is not amongst the dead, He is real life. I did not die, I am present in all of you my children
-I have been with you for 2078 years and 85 hours
-You will not see a smile on my face anymore, you cannot even touch my hand
-What is happening now is not the end but it is just the beginning
-I did not come here as your brother, as your friend or a God of mercy, but as your God of justice
-I will take the children first so they will not taste the wrath of God (from the news 50,000+ children died in the tsunami)
-There is so much evil in the world, killings, adultery. Father eating their own flesh...The Ten Commandments are not being followed. No one honors the father and the mother anymore especially the youth
-When the day of judgment comes, there will be a flash of light that will envelop the earth...and I will plant a new seed...and I will change the face of the earth. If it happens and you are traveling and forgot something, do not go back for there is no more time. You will not see buildings anymore. It will crumble down before your eyes. There will be peace afterwards...you will go back to the land
-Lead a prayerful life, prayerful family, teach others how to pray
-Your worst enemy is yourself. You have to completely detach yourself from yourself, you have to deny yourself
-For those who have trials, don't question just follow and I will do the rest
-Your enemy is the world, the material world around you, if you have strong will then you have me in you
-Pick up your cross and follow me
-I have done everything and came to the BNP but the graduates are still sinning
-Do not test, command God, we are just a beggar in front of God
-There will be no sign, it will just happen instantly
-You are so lucky through this movement, but still people keep sinning and those I called have left, you have to call them back if you can
-There is no more time to rest, there is no more time to stand alone
-A family that prays together, stays FOREVER

Those were some of the messages that were shared to me. From His message you can see that it is mostly about the "end times." I'm sure everyone has heard it at one point or another, but that time is drawing near. "There is no more time..." we need to act now and change. Change ourselves, change our family, then reach out to other people. There was a sense of urgency in His voice, people said that He was trying to tell us to "hurry up and get our acts together because it's almost time."

Of course this sounds scary, who wouldn't be scared. But we need to have faith, faith in Him and in ourselves that we can change. If you were one of those people (I know I am) that always say, I'll start tomorrow, I'll start it next weekend, I'll start it next month - it's time to stop that habit and start right now. We never know when time is up, we never know when judgement will come - it could happen tonight as we lay in our beds, it could happen on the way to work/school in the morning. We never know, so we must prepare ourselves. Be strong for that spiritual battle, be strong and know that you're not alone. God is right there next to you, He's just waiting for you to invite Him to join you in your struggles and fights.

Remember, no regrets - especially when it comes to Him. You don't want to be caught when the time comes saying things like "I wish I hadn't done that," "if I only did this," "why couldn't I just have stopped doing that," "if I only listened to Him, I would have been saved." Judgement is coming, but we still have some sort of time to change our lives. DO IT - don't hesitate, don't hold back anymore, don't be embarassed for your love of God, don't fall into the world. Like He said, you are your own worst enemy. Let yourself go, let everything go and let Him lead. Things will fall into place when you let Him be in front of you, behind you, on your left and on your right, on top of you, below you, and inside of you.

God Bless and I wish you all a gracefilled tomorrow
