Littlestone smiling at the bright faces in the diner. The scripture came up to him: 2 Corinthians 2:14: Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.
He spoke, just in case there are some here which are far from the place we believers find ourselves in Christ in eternity. All the possibilities are boundless in Christ; just as the grace of our Lord is boundless and endless.
However, His grace will stop on His Day.
Do not be deceived, all those who hold unto their sin and iniquity and block His grace from working. Those who reject Him, will never be free to explore all that our Heavenly Father has given us which is found in Christ Jesus. His restoration has a purpose for each of His sons and daughters…..It is not just the forgiveness of sins, yet, forgiveness is enough for all but, He has greater plans for us. Salvation is just His start spot,….so, come to Him, if you are far. He calls us out to bring us in to His plan.
Repent now, while He is near. Turn from your sin and turn to Jesus Christ on His cross. Be covered and washed clean in His blood. Be born from above by the hand of God and be come His kid….. Come now while it is still day.
Peter has waved his arm back behind the counter to take anyone in the kitchen to pray with them.
Littlestone nodded and continued, come now, while it is just turning to night and then His Day approaches like the rising of the sun. Go to Peter and he will pray with you. Please turn to Him now. I hear Him calling you…… Do you?
Littlestone spoke up and said, okay, let us climb up higher in reading some more. A new vista is calling us up. We can’t stop here! God help us if we do, for there is more to see to know of Him…. Read now my two favorite prayers:
Ephesians 1:16-23:
I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.
That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
Here we are, Father God, glorify Your name through every soul gathered in Your place, before the very throne of God. May the Word of Your heart fill us and be fulfilled in and through us, so all may know the greatness of Your love, in Jesus name, we ask this.
AMEN and AMEN echoed in the diner and throughout that day and every day before His throne.
Then He continued to read and confirm the greatness of their God, Ephesians 3:14-21:
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Only faith in God will produce His Word to work mightily in us according to His power which works in us….. His Spirit, His fruit, His grace…. Christ will be all and in all, as written. Amen?
Amen resounded like the thunderings of heaven were coming through this little diner.
Once you know Him, you see Him, Littlestone continued… We know Him, because our faith works His Word which results in experience in each and every one of His kids in every second of every day…..He is the Living God and His Word is alive and active….. in us.
Just say yes and walk with Him. From His glory, we go to glory and from faith to faith, we ascend to His high calling found in God by Christ Jesus. Our faith in God and His Word is our King’s and God’s greatest pleasure.
His work is finished, but Holy Spirit is at work now in us completing the new creation within us, which we are in Christ. His Word complete will be manifested in His body. As written we are complete in Him as found in Colossians.
Do not stop reading Scripture, allow Scripture to be the best meal you have every eaten.
Pray without ceasing and praising Him for the fellowship we have now in Christ Jesus.
Praise Him forever and ever!
As written in Psalm 67:1-4
God be merciful and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us, that Your way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among the nations.
Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy!
For You shall judge the people righteously, and govern the nations on earth.
Everyone yelled, Amen……. Amen……So be it, Lord!
There was a mountain that quaked then fell, which no one knew in the diner…..There are many things we do not need to know, but we need to praise.
Our great Holy One saw Satan falling like lightning again. This day and month and year will be written down in His books of war!
Praising God through prayer and His Word can move all things out of His way!
Just believe today!
Who is worthy of all our love, faith and honor? Praise be the Father, the Son and His Holy Spirit.
He looks inside of us with His searching Lamp…..
May His eyes behold, we have not left our first love…..States in Revelation 2:2-7: “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands.
I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false.
You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.
Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first.
If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.
But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
We have been given great and mighty heavenly riches revealed unto us who call on the Lamb as their King and Savior…..
We cannot be as Esau who despised his inheritance for lesser things of this world, which will pass away….
Only His Word will remain. Only those who do the will of God abides forever, for the world is passing away.
Eat abundantly from His tree of life.
Be strong in Him. Allow His Word to fill and fulfill each purpose the Word has been sent to do in each of us and around us…. Amen?
AMEN!!! So be it, Lord Jesus..
As we all hear, the Spirit and the bride call all to come…. All who are thirsty and all who hunger for righteousness….
Come and be filled this day…..
His arms are wide open.
Fall before Him now and repent of all that separates Him from you….
Allow His home to be in your spirit and learn by Holy Spirit to make room for Him in your soul now and forever.
Turn away from the idols of this world before they are torn away because this world is fading away…. All that remains are the new in Him…. We, the new creation in Christ, is His new work as written in Revelation 21:5 :Then He who sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said to me, write, for these words are true and faithful.
Littlestone continued: 1 John 3:1-3 states: Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!
Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him as He is.
And everyone who has this hope purifies Himself, just as He is pure.
And we say as His children, amen and so be it, Lord, so be it…… May You be glorified in and by Your kids here and all that call on Your name.
Amen and amen was heard in heaven for the loudness from the small group. Their love for Him alone rose on high. Their faith rose to His greatness in praise for His glory alone.
Selah!
More to Come—- He Is Willing!
Live this year with total intent on knowing Him by His Word and in prayerful communion…… Let it be heard, I know you, come into the fellowship of the Lord. Hear Him today….. Then see Him these days.
Ask for ears to hear Him! All His sheep hear Him! Then the eyes to see Him will be granted. First, believe in Him. Know Him by His Word. Trust in Him…..Then you see His hand in all things….. Afterall, He is God!
Praise Him and love Him…..He is sooooooooooo good!
