I read spiritfilled's post Rick Joyner God's Truth Is Stronger Than Any Lie earlier and this letter is what I sent to her by e-mail as a result of that reading, not wanting to take up so much space on her blog. We felt that it might edify some of you as well so, here it is. Marilyn, while reading your post, the following section just made something come alive within me. It's like a door opened a tiny bit and a little spark of light revealed what could be a portion of the answer to one of the questions I've asked all my life. Why? Why was I born? Why has God allowed me to live the life I have lived? Why has He allowed me to suffer the things that I have suffered? Why didn't He just let me die of the heart problem I was born with, as an infant? Why hasn't He allowed me to die the many times I have attempted to take my own life? Why has He made me stay here and continue to go through this pain of loss, memories, heartaches, over and over again? The church will not abandon the world, but at the time of its greatest troubles and darkness, will be an even brighter light, becoming like a bride without spot or wrinkle. "This will forever be a witness that God's truth is stronger than any lie and will always prevail against any opposition." Satan has a boast by which he was even able to persuade a third of the angels to rebel with him. The boast was that man, God's crowning creation (which He had brought forth to be able to comprehend Him, and therefore, have fellowship with Him in a special way), even when put in a perfect environment, would choose to disobey God and obey him (satan). However, before the end of this age, "the bride" of the last Adam, Christ, will live in the most difficult place and in the darkest of times, but she will chose to obey. This will forever be a witness to principalities and powers in the Heavenly places that God and His truth will always prevail: There is a church being prepared to stand fast in even the darkest of times, against even the most cruel and ruthless opposition. She will love the truth of God more than she even loves her own life. She will not compromise that truth and will not retreat before the enemies of the cross. She will challenge the greatest darkness of all time and she will prevail. There will be no retreat in the bride of Christ, and nothing in her will be inclined to abandon ship. She will be standing in victory when the King comes for her. She will then be caught up into the air to meet Him in the clouds, to join the triumphant of all generations who are returning with Him, and to take their authority over the earth to restore all things. Is it possible, that this life I have lived has been training for what lies ahead? Could it be that it has been to strengthen me, to give me the endurance I will need to stand during the trials to come? Am I perhaps being prepared to be one of these who will join in the great battle between the church and the forces of darkness? Oh, sis, is it possible that we stand so near to that glorious day when our Lord will return? That we may witness His return? What an awesome thought! That soon we may see Him! Just the thought of it makes my soul leap with joy, my heart beat more rapidly, my mind race at all the possibilities, all the wonderful things that will happen when He comes, all the things that I will want to do simultaneously! Like jump for joy, fall at His feet, give Him a huge hug, sing, dance, cry, laugh, praise, worship, just to name a few!!! Ha, ha, ha!!! I just wanted to share this all with you but didn't want to be a blog hog, know what I mean? I think that Elizabeth's post about the little boy and the heart surgeon also has brought this question of what the purpose of it all has been. Perhaps this is little bit of a revelation and perhaps it is simply encouragement that there is a purpose to it all, whichever, it certainly has me looking forward to His return and has brought joy back into my heart. Thank you, girl, for being such a true and faithful sister and friend. Love ya, Cecilia Ephesians 6:13 . . .and having done all, to stand

We are that church. Hallelujah! Amen. Romans 14 verse 5 One person regards one day holier than other days, and another regards them all alike. 3 Each must be fully convinced in his own mind.
