When I was walking this morning I was sharing with Holy Spirit and He dropped this golden nugget into my spirit. I was going to call one of my friends and share it with them and He told me to share it with my readers so that is exactly what I am doing right now. I was thinking over how He chose to follow God's plan of action. Remember He is a part of the Father, Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all in one. So when God created He already knew what was going to be right?
He knew that when the time was right for Him to enter the world as a baby through Mary what would become in a matter of a few years. In heaven I have been told that there is no concept of time per say. Time is a man made concept and we understand and can gauge things on a timeline based on time and our concept of time. The bible states in Psalm 90: 4 "Indeed, in your sight a thousand years are like a single day."
It seems as though there is a countdown from the moment Jesus enters the womb of Mary via Holy Spirit. What do I mean by that? He is God and He knew before the beginning of time what was going to be. When The Father said it is now time to fulfill this Jesus obeyed God. He comes to this sin sick world filled with filth and sin and He leaves the splendor of heaven to fulfill what He is called to do to save you and I from living a life in hell for all eternity. That is true love to me. Imagine for a moment...in the presence of God and there is no sickness, disease. lying, etc. in heaven to then break forth into our world on earth and see this all around. The moment He left heaven the time clock began. He knew what the final outcome was. Why do you think He prayed in the garden because He knew and agonized what was right around the corner. Being whipped, mocked, spat upon. Beaten to the point that you could not even recognize Him. That is love.
Holy Spirit showed me that from the moment He left heaven to fulfill this great gift of love for us He knew what was to come forth. Imagine this knowing the beating you would endure, the mocking and everything else that went along with it but you still followed through with the plan of God. I would imagine the toughest part in all of this would be the part when He drew His last breath and He descended into hell for three days away from His Father's presence. Imagine that, always in the presence of God and that was removed for a few days. He knew what lived and still does live in hell but He chose to go and get the keys of death and snatch them away so you and I could live. Hallelujah to the Lamb of God for such great love. The bible states that to be absent from the body is to be present with Christ. It is nothing I did to receive this fantastic gift of life it is all through what Jesus did for me to be able to receive this life.
Would you like to know that when you die you will be in the presence of God for all eternity and not have to settle for damnation in hell for all eternity?
Salvation is a gift freely given to you by Jesus you do not have to earn it or work for it either. It is simply believing in what Jesus did for you and accepting Him into your heart and life. Would you like to have this same opportunity right now? It is so simple just acknowledge first that Jesus came to the earth through the virgin birth of Mary. The Holy Spirit overshadowed her and the seed of life was planted inside of her. She gave birth to Jesus, He lived amongst us on earth. When the time was right He then chose to not escape the plan of God and leave the earth and go back to heaven but to follow the Father's plan and to die on the cross. He rose from the dead three days later and He is still alive this very day. Say this gentle prayer with me and then you will have the assurance of heaven when your life here on earth ends with your last breath of air. "Father I am a sinner, forgive my sins I confess my sins to you and ask you to forgive them. I believe that Jesus came to earth through Mary, He died on the cross and three days later He rose from the dead. It is not of anything I have done that will allow me to be in heaven but it is all about what Jesus did for me. He does not want me to live in hell, but with Him for all eternity. I thank you for this and I invite you Jesus into my heart. Create in me a clean heart oh God and renew a faithful spirit in me. Restore me and refresh me and let me fulfill all that you created me to be with my life. From this day on I will follow you. Guide me, direct me, and teach me your ways oh God. I love you and thank you for this precious gift given to me this very day. Amen."
If you prayed this prayer I welcome you to the family of God and the very moment you prayed this prayer all the angels in heaven paused to listen to your prayer isn't that amazing? Your name was then recorded into the Lamb's Book of Life. Remember to write down this day somewhere so you will always remember the day you chose to invite Jesus into your heart and life too. My prayer for you is for Holy Spirit to seal the very words you prayed within your heart.
