Threshold of Eternity

We are on the threshold of eternity.

We are surrounded by invisible beings at all times. God's spirit is almighty and omnipresent around you. Don't be distracted by the intrusive visible world. God wants to meet you, but often waits for your attention.

There are certainly exceptions. Sometimes God reveals himself in a dramatic way. That happens more often in these end times.

I know a Jewish woman from America who was driving her car one day. Suddenly, without warning, she saw a vision. She saw Jesus, who appeared huge on the horizon. She saw his loving face and his hands with the scars from the cross. She believed immediately and her life was transformed from that moment on.

Milly Bennitt is a British preacher, but she was once a party girl. Her parents were faithful Christians and prayed for their daring daughter. When her father was dying, she came home to say goodbye.

Her father was extremely ill and very weak, but just as he was dying, he lifted up his hands. His face shone with heavenly glory. Milly saw the reality of Jesus in her father, and she believed instantly.

A few years later, she became a missionary on a tourist island in Thailand.

The heavenly love that radiated from her had a very strong effect on people, including Muslims. The fanatical Muslims felt threatened and tried to catch her in an ambush. When she was suddenly surrounded, she naturally prayed and became invisible on the spot.

God can act very dramatically, but often he is not dramatic at all. As I said, he is waiting for your attention. No matter how threatening your circumstances are, he means well with you.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Je 29:11 NKJV

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
Jn 10:10 NKJV

God sent his Son into this world to save us, not to condemn us. We were all condemned anyway without Jesus because we all went wrong.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
Jn 3:16–17 NKJV

God is at your side. He looks into your heart and waits for your cry for help.
