PRAYER CHANGES THINGS!
Think on this promise: Christ will return -- let that FACT encourage your faith journey and prayer life!
A heavenly vision from the Bible --
"After I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white and held palm branches in their hands. And they were shouting with a mighty shout, "Salvation comes from our God on the throne and from the Lamb!" Revelation 7:9-10 NLT
Heavenly praise for the Lamb
Many times our prayers tend to focus on this world and the struggles we encounter in our lives. God understands and accepts these prayers, but we must also direct our thoughts and prayers to the victory we will share with Christ. In Revelation, God gives us a splendid portrayal of that final victory. In a vision, the apostle John sees a magnificent scene: a vast multitude celebrating the triumph of the Lamb of God. Waving palm branches, the traditional symbol of victory, people from all over the world extol God for the salvation he had provided through his Son.
As followers of Christ, today, we are privileged to be part of this multitude—the communion of believers. Because Jesus has overcome death, a new life of wholeness and peace through him has opened up to us. This is worth shouting about—praising God with all that is in us! Do not wait until you get to heaven before you start to praise the Lord!
We are Easter people, persons of the resurrection, and we should be filled with hope, not despair. Never forget it! Our hope comes from the promises of Christ! If you get to feeling down, just look up, and think of Jesus coming in the clouds, as He one day will return.
