Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

Pursuing God’s Dream for Us

 

DAILY DEVOTIONAL – December 23, 2023

Pursuing God’s Dream for Us

By Claude Houde

Listen Now

On the surface, Paul was a broken and finished man at the end of his ministry, lying deep in a foul-smelling underground cell, surrounded by the worst criminals. 

It was there that he wrote, “I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now” (Philippians 1:3-5, ESV).

Despite everything, from the depths of Paul’s solitude and the deep darkness around him, a light would emerge that still illuminates us today. It was all because Paul remembered what obedience to God had produced. Imagine for a moment all that could have been missed or lost forever if he had not listened to God’s promises, if he had not believed in this dream of a church, if he had not had that heart that seeks and responds.

When the whisper of God spoke to his heart, Paul refused the unbelief that could have limited him and chose to obey. I shudder to think of how much could have been lost if Paul, as many of us too often do, had hid behind a self-justifying argument that God had failed him and the seemingly logical reasoning that his divinely inspired dream could never be achieved.

Even today, God speaks to our hearts and minds. Immense blessings can emerge from even the smallest appearing acts of obedience to callings that seem mundane or trivial. God's whispers can become miraculous moments and movements.

Although being confined in the depths of a prison, Paul was able to rise above his circumstances and encourage himself by replaying in his heart all the memories of the miraculous work accomplished at Philippi. 

Paul realized and then embodied the extraordinary potential for peace and joy that lies dormant in each of us; It can be released when we choose obedience and faith, and when we believe in the dream that God has placed within us. By encouraging himself, Paul challenged us to believe, listen and invest further in God’s thoughts and dreams for us.

Now the question is what dream has been sleeping inside you for years? As you regularly read his Word and spend time in prayer, choosing to put aside Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Netflix, YouTube and others, what is the call that keeps coming to you?

Claude Houde is the lead pastor of Eglise Nouvelle Vie (New Life Church) in Montreal, Canada. Under his leadership New Life Church has grown from a handful of people to more than 3500 in a part of Canada with few successful Protestant churches.
