I long for the last trumpet to sound.

There is a last trumpet and it will sound, and when it sounds do  you know what will happen? When that LAST trumpet sounds in a single moment, in the twinkling of an eye… the DEAD in Christ will be RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE!

1Co 15:51  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Co 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Co 15:53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Co 15:54  So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Co 15:55  O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

Now, lest we make a mistake about our Savior, we aren't promised a single easy day in this life on earth, not one. We see so much tragedy, so much heart wrenching horror goes on every single day. I am constantly having to hide posts people on facebook post because my heart breaks and I can't stop crying when I see and read about the awful horrors sin has brought upon our world.  The heartache of what I think of as the innocent, just tears me apart emotionally, mentally. I know though, that the cause of all that anguish is found in sin.

Sin reared up and at that time a plan was enacted that would ensure sin would NEVER rear up again once it was eradicated.  Right now we live in the time before the eradication of sin and it's an awful time, the worst time because all who are embroiled in sin's embrace, captive by sin's master knowingly and unknowingly -deceiving themselves or not, all sin's captives are raging at anything close to the real truth. Sin does not want light because it is filled with darkness. Sin wants to hide all truth, covering it in endless lies. 

No one can convince me there is no God- He's worked in my life in too many ways and NOT in giving me my every whim. I can see God's hand even in the horrors of my own sinful life. I can see His work so much in retrospect and none of that can ever be denied.  Sure, I could pretend none of it matters, I did for many years. It matters and I pray to God that I never lose sight of Him again!

I have to live for that LAST TRUMP sounding, knowing there is an END to sin, to death, to heart ache, to all pain in all its many insidious forms.

Joh 7:37  In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
Joh 7:38  He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Joh 7:39  (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Please Lord, please, I believe! Help Thou my unbelief! I believe, please I thirst, let me drink! Please, Lord, I need the SPIRIT, I need to receive the Holy Spirit, You have been glorified, please LORD…please!

All in YOUR name, all in YOUR love always!
