LIVING HOPE

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy became our father again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn't fade away, reserved in Heaven for you, who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Pet 1: 3-5 WEB

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name!  Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day, our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

It is important for a man to believe so that he will receive and have.  It is vital to BELIEVE in the Son of God so that we may enjoy the Gift God has planned for us.

We have a living hope*, an inheritance, and our faith shielded by the Power of God! 

When Jesus rose from the grave on the third day, as scripture stated, the Power of God was released not only to Him, but through Him to us.  Jesus completed His gift to us… when He sighed: “It is finished” it was finished!  The job He had to accomplish, was finished to the ninth detail all for us, and our Eternal Life.

Our undefiled Lord, sinless and pure was the ultimate sacrifice for our inheritance: for us to SEE the Father as HOLY by way of the Spirit and cleansed by the precious blood of Jesus for the sake of our Father.  We have been born again by believing in His precious Son.  And now, we live with great expectation!  God has reserved a place beside Him for YOU (and me) the believer because we have been obedient to Him.

Our faith is guarded, and we are protected by God Himself until we receive our gift, our inheritance, that will NEVER decay, rot, rust, or fade!

Our gift is priceless!  No human can repay God for the life of His precious Son.  No human is worthy of that spot.  God wanted a family, HIS family and the only way for all of this to come to completion was for Him to give His beloved Son. (John 3:16-17) and for us to believe (receive and have), and for the ones who do not believe, they are condemned already by choice of their own.

God has called us- all-  some will listen and follow.  And, some will refuse and be condemned.

Thank you, Father, that You have reserved a place for Your “chosen” in Christ Jesus.

Our inheritance is undefiled because the gift is Your Son-  and because of Your precious Son, we can LIVE Eternally with You.  

Thank You.  

Thank you, Jesus, Yeshua our Messiah and Lord, for the gift of Your very life so that we undeserving sinners can have life, in and through You.  Because You stated in Your Word, that we will not see the Father except by You.  

You were the sacrifice and gift- incorruptible and undefiled, our inheritance that doesn’t fade away, You will never rot in the grave, ever!  But because You ROSE,  You gave to us a LIVING HOPE; YOU!!!   

The believer is a most blessed and honored man! We are so privileged to be called sons and daughters of God.  Thank you, I love you, we love you!  Thank you for readying our salvation, and preserving it until that day comes to receive us as your own.

We live with expectation!  I live with the expectation that You will be arriving soon, Jesus to gather us home.  The dead in Christ shall rise first, and then, the remaining will gather in the clouds.  But, not until we all hear the trumpet sound.

Yes, my eye looks to the clouds, and I smile, for I know… one day…. I will see You.  My ear is tuned to the sound of the trumpet sound that will rend the air and split the sky to make room for all Your children all across the world.  The ones who love you!  The ones who were dedicated to You, the ones’ who made you OUR FATHER, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Lord, You are faithful to the faithful.  So faithful that You guard our faith by Your Power.  Thank you!  It amazes me how AWESOME You truly are that You would guard my faith unto Salvation, the salvation of the very end with You, forever.

Abba, YOU are PRICELESS!  Your gift to us is PRICELESS!  Your obedient children are priceless to You.  What a win-win, Lord.  Thank you!

Now Lord, bless our faith today, bless us as we wait in expectation.  Help us to hold on and not let go, because we have such a wonderful beautiful gift waiting for us; Your precious Son, our Salvation waiting to be revealed.

Father, I want to be there when it happens!  All I can say in my spirit is AMEN!  Let it be so, my Lord, let it be so.  In Jesus name, I pray, Amen!
