We who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.
Since you are reading this now you are alive and remain. I want to encourage you who know and love and follow Him and His Word to hear and respond to the continual call of His voice beckoning us to “come up here” – to enter into the “secret place of the Most High!”
Train yourself to heed His still small voice leading you every moment. Rejoice in His surrounding, pervading Presence all the time, enraptured by His never-ending mercy, His grace, His joyous lovingkindness and peace that passes understanding. There is no reason to wait for that final trumpet blast - the kingdom of God is ALREADY within you! Continually delight yourself in the intimate knowledge of His awesome love for you; let that love spill over onto the people around you as much! Open your heart to people around you and have a personal praise party so intense that you can hardly keep from dancing and singing out loud right there in front of God and everybody! Remember that the “joy of the Lord is your strength” and exercise your body, mind, and spirit becoming stronger in the Spirit every day. Consciously endeavor to be “caught to meet Him” every time you think of Him. After all, you are already born again and His Holy Spirit lives in you. As long as we endure, “we shall always be with the Lord.” HALLELUJAH!!!
1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. NASU
Lk 21:34-36 34 "But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man." NKJV
