The Last Day

The Last Day
Today is the last day of 2014. Another end of a season. Another time comes to its fullness. The fruit of another season about to be brought forth. And the date of the year ends.
The program of God continues. A purpose ends to give way to new ones. The past is gone,  to be stored in the books of history. Most experiences would be forgotten as they should while the learnings from them grow our extensions to reach into what the future holds.

Baggages of past mistakes, pains, hurts, sacrifices and tearful sowings of precious seeds are left behind and the basket to harvest the good and the rewards taken instead in hope and faith for the journey ahead.
The plowman will not plow for ever, and seedtime will not be eternal, if there had been the seedtime, there also would be the harvest time. If precious seeds has been borne into plowed empty lands, there also must be the sheaves being brought out of the harvested fields. The seed time being in the past and the harvest time as from tomorrow. If we have borne the image of corruption we must also bear the image of incorruption, one in the past, the other in the future.

We hope for the fruit of the new season. We look out for the purposes of another time period. We expect the time related doors to open on their own accord. We hope for light to shine out of darkness. We may have been ridden over by men, we may have passed through fire and water but the everlasting doors of the broad and wealthy places are opening unto us. We may have passed through this point just with a rod and the stones may have been for pillows but now we come in bands ready to take the promised possessions. We may have passed through the valley of the shadow of death but God has been with us and without fear we come out of the tunnels. The gates and the everlasting doors are lifting their heads because the appointed time has come.

Now we come closer to our redemption than when we first believed. Patience is having its perfect work and now we step into our perfection, being entire, wanting nothing. Now the prayers answered will have their manifestations, the purposes would be fulfilled, the prophecies will have have their mates and the promises will be sure to all.
The last day will give way to the new and another day will be born with the assurance that it is a better one.

What will you do with the new day? What can you do with the former? Take your learnings from the experiences of the past and move on into the new day. Let what should have been done that was left undone yesterday be done now. Leave the guilt and the failures. Let not the success of the last year tie you down there. The new day hopes to be better. But you can't afford to go in there in old coverings and mentality. Let today be the last day of the old years. Burst into the newness of the season so that the fruits of the new season can come.
Then the fruits of the years eaten by the locusts can be restored and the new year can sprout out of the death of the past.

Let the new chapter of the book written of you be open, let the seal be broken and let the will of God be done. Let nothing outside the prophecies be done, let none of those things not promised come to pass.
Stone shall not be given for bread, nor serpent for fish, neither scorpions for eggs, only the good things expected shall not be cut off. We shall see evil no more, only things exceeding and abundant far above our desires and imaginations are waiting at the other side and tonight, we cross over leaving behind the slavery, the oppression and the afflictions of the past into a new dawn of great grace and excelling glory.

But we must not quickly forget that as the past goes into oblivion in the physical so also the spiritual end of the world draws closer. The wise knows and gets ready, the fool sees nothing and goes on until he is punished. The harvest of the world is near. And all the prophecies are coming to pass. And as we draw nearer, the world obeys the prophecies of it's end but it's inhabitants hardly take it to heart.

We try to save the world but do not care about our own salvation. If we see the need for the salvation of nature why is it hard to see the need for our own salvation since both came from the same prophecies?
The last day will witness men loving themselves and loving pleasures more than God. The last days will be perilous times when it'll be difficult to be Christ-like, children being disobedient to parents and getting away with it, people becoming more and more selfish and untrustworthy and it has become lots easier to do evil and be justified in iniquity...these are the last days...and you are welcome.

Just as today being the last day of a year and so surely another year rolls in within the next few hours so assuredly shall this end times give way to eternal judgment. If these prophecies have come to identify the last days for us, so also they point to the events that shall soon come after so that we can prepare.

Here is the ark. The Christ was born a few days before the end of time...as an ark for man's salvation and transportation to the new day beyond the last day here. How shall we escape if we neglect the salvation so freely provided. If we allow the spirit of the last days to fill us with surfeiting and drunkenness in utter disregard for the coming judgments how shall the day not come upon us as the thief in the night unawares? If we look back as Lot's wife, if we forget Noah's ark and become carried away in marrying and giving in marriage, putting up powerful events, common place things of both the end of the year and the end of time.. how shall we escape?

These are the last days...the world is rounding off and we, upon whom the end of the world has come must go for the ark and maintain our places in grace...it's time to do a review and make the changes required before the Master shows up, before the last day of these last days!
Good Morning and enjoy the last days so we can both say Happy New Year at the other sides...together!
