2237 Out Of Time — Кассета

We interrupt our current series on the Disciples of Jesus for a very time sensitive, urgent matter. A topic I have been prompted by the Holy Spirit to discuss with you today. Here it is – Are you ready for Jesus to come back in less than 2 weeks? I fully understand that question makes me sound kookey. I’m okay with that – I’m willing to sound kookey for the sake of eternal things because let’s face it – we’re willing to go out on a limb for far less important things. So here I am today with a serious question for you to sit with for a moment – Are you ready for Jesus to come back in less than 2 weeks? Where do your thoughts go immediately? Track your thoughts with this because something important is happening – YOUR PRIORITIES ARE BEING REVEALED. Yesterday morning I woke up to a text from a very close friend of mine. A friend who has become a spiritual accountability partner for me. We talk about those deep, spiritual things that you can’t talk about with everyone. The Spirit in her stirs up the Spirit in me. We are the iron that sharpens iron for each other. She’s not a kook. Her relationship with the Lord is real and her promptings from the Holy Spirit are legit. When she texts me, I lean in. Her text yesterday morning was about a dream her daughter had – a dream where Jesus met her in the backyard and told her that he was coming back in 2 weeks. Now, what do you do with that? Like literally, what do you do with that? I’ll tell you what I did – I immediately counted forward to 2 weeks on my calendar, considering all I had going on and where I would be. Unfortunately that was very inconvenient timing for me. You see, these next 2 weeks I will be traveling, I’ll be hosting 2 retreats plus stops on the ROAM Tour. Jesus, I won’t even be with my family – can we discuss the timing of this? Did you do the same? When you hear 2 weeks, are you thinking about your schedule? Your house? Your plans? Are you inconvenienced? I spent the majority of yesterday wrestling this out. My priorities were being revealed in my immediate response to the thought of Jesus returning on such short notice, and I was so ashamed by how I truly felt. How about you? I packed up my Bible and my journal and I headed to a coffee shop to sit with God and journal out my prayers and his responses. I was out of alignment and needed a rebalance. Think about that – you know how your car starts driving funky if you’re out of alignment? You start veering off to one side and driving in a straight line becomes a struggle. Because of the wear in your tires, it only gets worse until you take your car in for a rotation of those tires and rebalancing. Yeah, my tires were a little worn with my worldly pursuits and concerns and I was out of balance. I was veering to the side and didn’t even realize it. On my walk to the coffee shop, I came across a woman I often see. She’s likely in her 30’s, always pulling a wagon of random gatherings, and without fail, she is always looking directly at her cell phone. Like her eyes never leave her phone. She walks the streets, never looking up. Never aware of my passing, or anyone else’s. With eyes on her phone, she just walks along, pulling her wagon. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU CAN’T LOOK UP? Yeah – that question was for me, not for her. Pamela, what could possibly be so important that you can’t look up? What is in this world that you’re so focused on that you don’t want to look up into the sky for my return? God whispered to my soul yesterday, “Pamela, I AM COMING – This is urgent. There’s work for you to be doing and short time for you to do it.” Are we too the women pulling our wagon of everything we’ve been gathering, mesmerized by the things we’ve been looking at, refusing to look up? Are we oblivious to the fact that there’s so much more than here and now and this is all leading to eternity? I haven’t be
