Ready For Rapture - Susan Davis (great books for teens txt) 📗

in the above verse, ‘I never knew ye,” keyword, “knew” meaning to actually know someone from having spent time with them.

Who is Jesus to you? If Jesus is nothing more than a historical figure to you, or a concept, or an idea, than you obviously don’t know the Lord Jesus and your soul is in danger.

The first thing you have to recognize is that Jesus/Holy Spirit/God (to be used interchangeably) is spirit and that He is a living God. He is also a relational God and He created you to be intimate with Him. This means you were created to know God on a personal level, through prayer, reading your Bible, and spending time with God every day away from all the distractions of the world.

The moment you allow the cares of the world to supersede your number one priority, which should be to follow God’s will, you show yourself to be full of pride, thinking that you know better than God when it comes to how you should live your life.

How could you know better than God when it was God who created you and in fact created your life?? The Word of God says the Lord has designs for your life, plans to prosper you, not to hurt you. We can’t even comprehend the destruction that we create by ignoring God’s will, which is really the destiny that God has for us.

This is why being out of step with God’s will is rebellion to God and what I would call the number one pitfall for every human being on earth and unfortunately, falling into it means you have more in common with satan than you do with God. This is why it leads people to hell.

How in the world are we supposed to spend intimate time with God if He’s spirit and not physical?? Okay, calm down. Everything is going to be okay. If you’re feeling uneasy or unsure about whether you’ll be going to Heaven or not, I’m going to walk you through what you can start doing today in order to learn how to spend intimate time with God, learn what His will, or destiny is for your life and be with Him forever in Heaven.

*Note: And remember, just because God isn’t physical doesn’t mean He’s not real, or has a presence that you can feel and a personality that you can get to know.

1) Set aside time every morning to pray to God and spend time with Him.

Ask Him what His will for your life is for that particular day and then do it. Do this every morning. If you do this, He will make Himself known to you and He will start speaking to your heart. You won’t necessarily hear His answers, but you will feel them, especially if you do this regularly and learn how to be in God’s presence and discern His voice.

 

2) Let God in on what you’re thinking/experiencing/feeling every moment of the day.

Sometimes, we forget that God is always watching us, so we do things we know we shouldn’t do. This is why it’s good to always remind yourself that God really is watching over us, not in a creepy voyeuristic kind of way, but in a concerned parent kind of way. I like to have a running dialogue with God throughout the day, sharing my thoughts and opinions on different things and checking with Him to see if I’m in sync with Him or not. No matter what I’m doing, whether it’s lifting weights, watching a movie, or spending time with friends, thinking about making a big decision in my life, I include God in every thing I do. If you do this, you’ll find that there are many ways God speaks to you.

 

3) Read the Word on a regular basis.

This is something I have to get better about, but the reason you read the Word is quite simply to get to know what God’s personality is like and what He expects from us. You get to know God by knowing what He says and what He does, just like you would a person. It just so happens that the Bible is a record of the things God says and what He does, so it’s important that we read it. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal certain things in the Bible to you which may at first glance seem complex. That’s what the Holy Spirit is for.

Okay, now what? Once you’ve done that, you should be well on your way to having an intimate relationship with the Lord, but you have to work at it, just like everything else.

If you don’t hear God speaking to you the very first time, don’t just give up. Keep pursuing God’s face.

One of the things that creates a division between us and God is sin, so make sure you repent of all your sin. If you’re not sure what you have to repent for, ask God and He’ll tell you in the form of mental pictures, words, or feelings.

Something else that I emphasize on this blog is the need to do prayer intercession to cut through the thick blanket of evil that exists in so many places around the world. Intercession is where you pray without ceasing until, in the spirit, you breakthrough this blanket and at that point, have a much easier time being intimate with God. Without all the demonic distractions and such.

EXERCISE:

Next chance you get, wake up, brush your teeth and then grab a piece of paper and a pencil. Sit down on the ground, raise your hands up to the sky and pray to God. Throughout the course of this prayer, you should ask God what His will is for you. When He tells you what it is, make sure you write it down. Then do it! Simple as that. Rest easy in the knowledge that God’s perfect will consists of the decisions you yourself might make if you were all-knowing and all-powerful and had knowledge of the future. Since you can’t really hold a candle to any of that, the smartest thing you can do is trust God’s will for your life knowing He wants the best for you.

1. IS YOUR WILL FOLLOWING THE ENEMY OF GOD OR GOD

Prophetic Messages Through Susan Davis

 

The LORD's Words for Today

Dear Followers of CHRIST:

John: 8:44: Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Matthew 7:21 (KJV): Not everyone that saith unto ME, LORD, LORD, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the Will of MY FATHER which is in heaven.

These scriptures show that there are only two wills: GOD’s or satan’s. So the question for you is your will following the enemy of GOD or GOD?

I point this scripture out because of something the LORD revealed to me recently for the purpose of sharing with others: If you do not belong to GOD because you are not fully sold out to HIM and completely dead to “self” and surrendering your ALL to GOD then you still are in the hands of the enemy, to be used by him however he chooses. This of course, is something very few people seem to be aware of because if they were aware—there would be more people deciding to surrender their ALL over to CHRIST.

When your spirit is not of GOD and it is the enemy’s, all the enemy wants is to destroy you. Although it does not seem possible, the enemy will have free access to your life to do his will and use your life for his evil plans. Many people have evil spirits who want them to be destroyed through: divorce; loss of income; loss of life, and cast into hell ultimately. The Bible gives an example of how spirits inside someone can lead them into life- and soul-threatening situations—like this young boy who was doing things he did not want to do:

Matthew 17:14-18 (KJV): 14And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, 15LORD, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatic, and sore vexed: for oft times he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. 1And I brought him to THY disciples, and they could not cure him. 17Then JESUS answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him hither to ME. 18And JESUS rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

Just like this scripture above describes the evil spirit and the devil ruling over the child causing him to fall into the fire and into the water, imagine that satan, who wants you to fail is actually trying to lead you to do the things that would destroy you and your eternal life—causing you to fall into the fire and into the water. Stop falling into the fires and deep waters the enemy wants to drag you in and out of. Be free of this evil—Surrender your ALL to CHRIST and choose GOD’s Perfect Will over your own will.

2. HUMBLE HEARTS WILL WALK WITH THEIR GOD

 

(Words Received from Our LORD by Susan, June 22, 2013)

Susan, this is your GOD—I am ready to give you Words:

The hour is approaching of MY Return for the church. It closes in. Each day, I draw nearer. The Season is now! You are in the season to be watching closely. This is not the time to be sitting on your hands or closing your eyes. This is the time to be vigilant. Keep your nose pressed to the glass—watching, looking, listening for MY Trumpet Blast.

I will come like a thief in the night. If you are not watching, you will not be taken when I come back to rescue MY church, to bring out MY bride. She is gathering under MY Mantle: MY Blood Covering. I only have eyes for her—for MY bride: those who choose to follow ME, their GOD and to lay down their affection for the world and all it stands for.

MY bride has no taste for the world and
