Hi loretta,

I'm not ready to preach this one, they'll laugh me out of town!

Well with the Spirit indwelling Loretta, it would not really be you or your wisdom judging the world, but God in and through you.

Php 2:12  Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
v. 13  for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

mercy, peace and love
Kat

tks John and Kat, for the wisdom and links to further teaching.

I was studying Hebrews 11 last night and meditating on verse 39-40.  It was as if I was reading them for the first time! :)

Hi Loretta,

Please try to view it in this manner. God is seeking a few very little people, not many great.
Of course God will humble us even below our own estimate of our own importance, but God is still drawing to Himself people who's accomplishments are very few and very small as the world sees great accomplishment.

When we are appointed to positions of service with great authority so that we can help people, just as Lord Jesus will be doing, people will say of us "what a great miracle our God has done, to make so much out of so little".

People who have known us all of our lives, our friends, our family will be amazed and astounded at what God has accomplished. They will find it very hard to believe that we have been appointed to such high office.

On the other hand, we will be able to tell them very candidly and truthfully that they should have hope and courage in the knowledge that God can do a similar work in them and in their lives and that the work that God does in their lives will continue for the ages to come in their immortality.

As the saying goes, God will make a beautiful silk purse out of a pig's ear.

So be at peace with yourself. stand still and see what God can do.

Exodus 14:13–And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

Thank you Indianabob.

Hi All,
Interesting discussion.

On the topic of second resurrection. I heard Ray mention something in his audio message that the below quote is not in the manuscripts.


--- Quote ---Rev 20: 5  and the rest of the dead did not live again till the thousand years may be finished; this [is] the first rising again. (YLT)
--- End quote ---

Does this infer that the second resurrection will take place inside the 1000 year reign? So all the earth will come to the knowledge of the Lord and obedience to the Lord 100% within this set time frame of 1000 years.

And the 1000 year reign is a symbolic period of time and could be 49000 year since Adam - a jubilee of 1000 years as Creation Jubilee to free all mankind or a longer period)? The 1000 is not literal?

So will the overcomers will probably need to undergo some training and maturing, before they can serve the people in the second resurrection.  We in this life are far from being complete, so we need to be made complete and then we can help others to be made complete (perfect). What do you think?

There must be a order in the resurrection and probably the order is not all at once in the second resurrection? Any opinions?

--- Quote ---As scripture says: 1Cor 15: 23;  But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
--- End quote ---

So also in the first resurrection, there must be a order? Any opinions.

Finally all after the 1000 symbolic year reign will be presented to Jesus as a Bride. So it means we and all others are still in preparation?
