And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. (Revelation 5:9 NASB)
Purchased…
For God…
With Your Blood…
Men…
From every tribe and tongue and people and nation…
“You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.” (Revelation 5:10 NASB)
I am very emotional as I make this post…
He has done it all…
We had nothing to do with it…
We – His Chosen – are the objects of His Love…
When we turned our backs on Him – and we still do every day – He came looking for us – He found us – and He still finds us – wherever we are hiding (in our mind) – and He brings us back to Himself…
He owns us…
We were purchased for God…
With Jesus’ Blood…
All for the purpose that we could know Him and in knowing Him experience Eternal Life…
And we will reign on the earth…
And so we will be with the Lord forever…
Wherever Jesus goes we will go with Him…
Just like Gomer was purchased back by Hosea we (the Church) have been purchased back by Christ…
He has made us willing to come…
If He didn’t make us willing we would not have come…
And He has done this in love…
Not to get praise from us…
He will get His praise from all His creation before they are sent to the Lake of Fire & Brimstone…
He will get His praise from us (willingly and with no compulsion) for all eternity…
I’m amazed the more I see about the Lord and His Patience…
He waits…
He’s been telling me to wait…
Nothing can be forced…
He makes us willing…
Do you feel willing?
Good… 🙂
The Lord made you willing…
Let it come…
He purchased you – He’ll do everything else also…
You have a future – a future with Him…
He will do all to enable your future with Him…
There is nothing for you to do but wait for Him to work it in you…
Once He’s worked it you work…
That’s been my experience (it comes naturally)…
You go and go and go like an energiser bunny (an advert that used to be on TV over here in New Zealand)… 🙂
When you run out of energy you stop and wait for the Lord to fill you with His Energy again…
Love you,
Andrew
(Ps. And we shall reign on the earth – this is our destiny – we will achieve this – in Him we will achieve this – Thank You Jesus… 🙂 )
