When we rise to meet the Lord in the air.

Living with God always - now and forever.  Imagine it.  Imagine the day arrives and our Savior sounds the last trump and by HIS amazing grace we begin to rise off the ground and our body changes in the moment it takes to blink an eye, we have been REDEEMED!  We are rising to meet our Lord, our savior in the air!

Now stop and think- when we rise and we change- what exactly is changing in us. We have to KNOW we have been redeemed, right? But the CARNAL/FLESH nature in us is GONE. We are JOINING our Savior in a new world, a new existence. We are leaving behind ALL that is of the carnal nature but our relationship with Christ, with God the Father, with the Holy Spirit will FOLLOW still be a part of us.

There will be no sorrow as we rise into the air, but joy!

We are taking the final step into our being completely at ONE with the three Gods that long for us to be one with them in total agreement, living in pure love.

God will know us and we will know God.

Our relationship right now with our Savior matters.  How much time do we spend with God now? Seriously.  Is He really in our mind as we live?

We have been studying from the book - A Spiritual Man by Watchman Nee and doing so with our Bible in hand. We want to be spiritual men and women- children of God, followers of Jesus Christ. 

The more we read the further is seems that we will ever be how we know our Lord would have us be. We need to recognize our completely inability to do anything without God, without our Savior, without the Holy Spirit. 

Joh_8:28  Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

Jesus did nothing of Himself, though to read of Him He did a lot, yes? We constantly talk about all our Savior did and does for us. Yet we have to realize that He did nothing without God, the declared Father as His power when He took on human flesh.  We in our human flesh can do nothing without God, the declared Father, the Savior Son, and the Holy Spirit.   Unlike Jesus who was Emmanuel - God with us, we are pure human flesh and need the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as our spiritual power.

Mat_1:23  Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

We have no power of our own, we need to submit to God fully and pray that we live in Him and His will is done in us always.  Recognizing our dependence we rest wholly on Christ for all things.

Please, Lord as we seek to be Yours- to be spiritual men and women in You, bless us and keep us Yours! We long to hear the sound of the last trump and rise into the air to meet You. Please Lord, we would e Yours now and forever!
