By His Grace & Mercy

Someone once asked this preacher, full of doubt,
“If Jesus says that He’s coming again,
then why hasn’t He come yet?”
By then, the preacher was simply balling,
with tears all over, and she cried out,
“It's by God’s mercy that He hasn’t come yet!!”
Then silence came. There was no reply. The words were straight from above. The Truth is revealed once again to this world refused to believe.

Wake up, world!!!!
God is love and God is justice.
We need to grasp this idea that when Jesus comes, there will be war, and then peace will come. You know, I remembered that yesterday I asked a girl, “Can I offer you a prayer?” And she said, “You can pray for world peace,” and walked on.

There’s only one Way to have world peace.
That is—after the Lord shakes what can be shaken and breaks what can be broken—to destroy sand castles, humanism, and fake ideologies of this world that cannot stand firm. When the snake’s head is crushed and the New Jerusalem is established, true peace will come(Revelation 21).

To those with fear,
“Be strong, do not fear;
Your God will come,
He will come with vengeance;
with divine retribution
He will come to save you.”
Then will the eyes of the blind opened
and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
Then will the lame leap like a deer
and the mute tongue shout for joy.
Water will gush forth in the wilderness
and streams in the desert.
-Isaiah 35:5~6-

A highway will be there;
It will be called the Way of Holiness.
-Isaiah 35:8-

I like stories of the kings, and Hezekiah is definitely one of my favorite kings of history. He’s in Isaiah 36~39, and 2 Kings 18~20. He’s definitely a king who is in constant prayer for his land. He wept and wept and wept. God gave him another 15 years to live because of his fervent prayer! That’s crrrazy. Hezekiah is definitely one of the epitomes of weepers of the Lord.

This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says:
I have heard your prayer and seen your tears.
I will heal you.
-2 Kings 20:5 / Isaiah 38:5-

Prayers + Tears = Healing <--God's formula.
Thank You Lord for bringing Jeff and me back to Arcadia safely! We love You so much!!
What else can I say besides I love You?
It's by Your grace that we are saved.
And it's by Your mercy that we are not yet destroyed.
