Today, we live at a time in history with the ability to capture our NOW moement using cameras, videos, and other media resources, bringing our yesterdays to our remembrance of today. What is amazing is that at the moemnt we were actually experiencing the event, we rarely have the intensity of the experience as we are able to recall looking at the pictures. We were just simply there. So it will be in the Kingdom of God...
The NOW Moment
"There will be weeping and grinding of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves being cast forth (banished, driven away)" (Luke 13:28 AMP).
Today, we live at a time in history with the ability to capture our NOW moment using cameras, videos, and other media resources, bringing our yesterdays to our remembrance of today. Have you ever noticed while looking through photos and reminiscing over the past vacations, birthday parties, or family holidays that we tend to remember those moments with more intensity than when we were actually there? We will often reflect on certain words that were spoken that made us feel good, or the smell of the air as we look at the pictures of the mountains. We can look at our pictures at the beach and hear the seagulls flying nearby, or the waves crashing on the shore.
What is amazing is that at the moment we were actually experiencing the event, we rarely have the intensity of the experience as we are able to recall looking at the pictures. We were just there. So it will be in the Kingdom of God. Today, we have the fullness of His Love, His Life, and the intensity of His presence; yet, it isn't until we move into another day reflecting on the event that we see His presence had always been with us.
Those that have gone before us have the fullness of His presence, yet they cannot share this intensity with others because they too have the fullness of Christ Jesus. True Love must be shared with a servant's heart unconditionally. For this cause they surround us as a cloud of witness to encourage us to grasp the moment NOW bringing the Kingdom of God into our time allowing the intensity of the moment to be manifested.
Don't wait until you look back at the pictures to wish that you had captured the moment of the fullness and intensity of God's Love releasing Christ in you into the atmosphere of your time. Take your time to bring the eternal presence of Christ into your day by capturing the moments to give a hug to a stranger, rejoice at the laughter of a child playing in the dirt, blessing the person with peace that is late for an appointment, doing the little things for others that will be appreciated, but they won't know who did them.
God is a consuming fire. His Word, His presence, is a lake of fire. If we allow the consuming fire of His presence to manifest the intensity of the moment, the pictures from our past will be our NOW in the earth taking away the gnashing of teeth of tomorrow. The enemy of God wants to keep you enjoying the good of life instead of capturing the Excellency of His calling that is yours today. The truth that exists, but you are ignorant of, is the domain of antichrist. There will be many Christians gnashing their teeth because they chose complacency of the moment.
Selah.

Throughout the New Testament, the words "eternal" and "everlasting" are the same Greek word "Aionios" found in the Strong's Concordance as number 166. It means belonging to the time in its duration. Our true God identity, which is constant and abiding within us, not affected by the limitations of time. It is age to age: age abiding life in the midst of time. Eternal (166) belongs to the age or time (165) in its duration. "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High" (Psalm 82:6).
"For we are fellow workmen (joint promoters, laborers together) with and for God; you are God's garden and vineyard and field under cultivation, [you are] God's building" (1 Cor. 3:9 AMP). Paul was writing this to Corinth explaining who they were today, not someday when they die to go to heaven.

How often have we said something out of habit without really stopping to consider what was said? When my children were young, as a mother, I would try to teach them in the way they should be trained according to how I understood the Bible. A pet-pive of mine was being very cautious of listening to the words that my children would say so if I heard the four letter "s-word" I would instantly correct them.

We are living at a time in history that is being governed by a spirit of fear. However, throughout history, when the children of God changed their hearts from fear to faith, the tangible substance of things hoped for, the darkness of fear was removed in the presence of LIGHT allowing God's unconditional love and peace to fill the earth which belongs to the Lord. The Kingdom of God is manifested allowing the joy of the Lord to become our strength removing the Adam and Eve syndrome of judgment and condemnation. He alone is our shepherd ready to pour out everything we need. The Lord is good, giving protection in times of trouble. He knows who trust in Him, so don't let your hearts be trouble allowing God to guide you along paths that you did not know and make the darkness become light; the rough ground smooth...
