Lord, Keep Our Eyes On the Prize!

"Lord, Keep Our Eyes On The Prize"

Then, we which are alive and remain  ...  The Prize!  The Prize lies beyond the blue; the Prize is UP!  The closer we get to the Rapture, the more we will need to look Up, because earth is NOT the Prize!  Have mercy on us, O Lord, let our faith be strong; help us "endure" to the end; let Your Word keep our feet from falling; and "Lord, Keep Our Eyes On The Prize." 

"The Prize!"

"This" is not all there is!  We have a home beyond the stars; our time in earth is short compared to all eternity with the Lord.  We must be alert and diligent, for the soon coming Rapture of the Church to meet the Lord in the air is the prize!  (I Corinthians 15:52 and I Thessalonians 4:15-17)  "Things" will fade away, be destroyed, be taken, but the love of the Lord no one can take away!  People suffer; all around the world people are suffering today for the cause of Jesus Christ our Lord.  And  ...  their "faith" sustains them!  We must be strong in the Lord and the power of His might!  He carries us through the storms, the floods, the fires, the torments, the trials, and the fears.  "The Lord is nigh unto them of a broken heart and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit." (Psalm 34:18)

You never walk alone!



Our Shepherd carries us through our darkest hours; we are always on His mind; we are never alone.  The song says, "Nobody told me that the road would be easy; I don't believe He brought me this far; I don't believe He brought me this far  ... to leave me!"  Our faith is our anchor that says "Peace be still," when waves are crashing all around us.  Sing, weary one!  You say, "What? Sing? Are you kidding, with all I'm going through?"  Sing!  Grab a song in the Lord, and sing with all your might!  Why?  Worship will bring the release!

A song in the night will bring light to your fight!

The times of our trouble have only just begun.  We are on the Home stretch.  We must pack our bags with truth  ...  Acts 2:38 says to Repent, be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and be filled with the Holy Ghost and speak with tongues as the Spirit of the Lord gives utterance  ...  You say, "I have His Spirit, but I've never spoken in tongues."  There is more for you!  All of the Apostles and Mary the mother of Jesus spoke with tongues, and hundreds of millions of people all over the world today speak with tongues!  It is Joy Unspeakable and full of Glory!  Oh, dear one, we must seek the Lord for all He has for us; I want everything He has for me, and for you  ... Lord, pour out Your Spirit upon all flesh!  (Joel 2:28) 

                                    "FOR OUR LIGHT AFFLICTION, WHICH IS BUT FOR A MOMENT,

WORKETH FOR US A FAR MORE EXCEEDING AND ETERNAL

WEIGHT OF GLORY."

(2 Corinthians 4:17)

Our Faith keeps us; our doctrine preserves us; God's Word prepares us and sustains us; the love of Jesus Christ holds us; the Church keeps and frees us; the Holy Ghost warns and protects us; the body of Christ unifies us; and Jesus Christ is coming back  ... "For Us!"  We sing as an offering; sacrifice keeps our eyes on the prize; nothing can defeat us with God's impetus  ... We have read the back of the Book, and We Win!
