AT THE SAME TIME

 

The end and the beginning happen at the same time,

and sometimes with a certain amount of confusion in

the transition, and uncertainty.

If you are on a 15 hour flight from San Francisco to

Sydney, when that plane lands on the runway it is the

end of your FLIGHT, because you are now on the

ground. Your long grueling flight has ENDED and your

time on the ground has BEGUN, AND IT HAPPENED AT

THE INSTANT THAT PLANE TOUCHED THE GROUND.

One thing ended and another thing began at the same

time.

Moses was in Egypt for 40 years thinking He was

somebody, and when that ended He began something

completely new in the wilderness, where He became a

nobody for 40 years. Then one day he saw a burning

bush, now what I have come to understand is in that

wilderness it was not uncommon to see these dry

bushes burst into flame and be consumed in a matter of

minutes.

The reason Moses gave any attention to this burning

bush was the fact that it kept on burning and was NOT

consumed. That event was the end of Moses time in the

wilderness and the beginning of His time to deliver the

children of Israel from Egypt.

So then Moses got to see first hand what GOD COULD

DO WITH A NOBODY FOR THE NEXT 40 YEARS.

Now we not only as countries, but as a world are at the

end of life as we have known it for the last 19 years, and

things are changing drastically everyday. Life will not

go back to exactly what it was BC. (before corona),

many things and ways of life will be changed and many

new ways of life will be introduced thru this pandemic.

I believe as believers we must be awake and not miss

what GOD IS SAYING AND DOING IN THIS TIME, AND

NOT EVEN LONG FOR THE OLD DAYS AND THE WAY WE

USED TO DO THINGS.

BECAUSE EVEN THO THIS IS THE END FOR SOME

THINGS, AT THIS SAME TIME IT IS THE BEGINNING OF

OTHER NEW THINGS AND WAYS OF DOING THINGS

THAT WE HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE.

AND WE CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS OUT ON GOING

INTO OUR PROMISED LANDS BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF,

LACK OF TRUST, AND NO FAITH.

Even after the children of Israels great deliverance, and

transfer of wealth from Egypt, passing thru the red sea

on dry land, and fresh manna to eat everyday, they

STILL MISSED OUT ON GODS PERFECT PLAN FOR THEM

AND ALL BUT 2 OF THEM DIED IN THE WILDERNESS

AND NEVER MADE IT TO THE PROMISED LAND. WHY?

The Peril of Unbelief

¹² Take care, brothers and sisters, that there not be in

any one of you a wicked, unbelieving ^[d]heart [which

refuses to trust and rely on the Lord, a heart] that turns

away from the living God. ¹³ But continually encourage

one another every day, as long as it is called “Today”

[and there is an opportunity], so that none of you will

be hardened [into settled rebellion] by the

deceitfulness of sin [its cleverness, delusive glamour,

and sophistication]. ¹⁴ For we [believers] have become

partakers of Christ [sharing in all that the Messiah has

for us],

if only we hold firm our newborn confidence

[which originally led us to Him] until the end,

¹⁵ while it is said,

“Today [while there is still opportunity] if you hear His

voice,Do not harden your heart, as when they provoked

Me [in the rebellion in the desert at Meribah].”

¹⁶ For who were they who heard and yet provoked Him

[with rebellious acts]? Was it not all those who came

out of Egypt led by Moses? ¹⁷ And with whom was He

angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned,

whose dead bodies were scattered in the desert? ¹⁸ And

to whom did He swear [an oath] that they would not

enter His rest, but to those who disobeyed [those who

would not listen to His word]? ¹⁹ So we see that they

were not able to enter [into His rest—the promised

land] because of unbelief and an unwillingness to trust

in God.

This was given as a warning for us today so that none of

us end up the same way they did perishing in the

wilderness.

Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness, then He was

tempted and tested by the dEVIL. the children of Israel

were 40 years in the wilderness, they were tempted and

tested and deceived by the dEVIL AND FAILED.

AT THE END OF MAN (FLESH OR OWN WAY OF DOING

THINGS)—IS THE BEGINNING OF GOD (HIS TAKING

OVER AND DOING THINGS HIS WAY)

I HAVE A FEELING THAT FOR THOSE WHO ARE AWAKE

AND WILLING TO LAY EVERYTHING DOWN AGAIN ON

THE ALTER OF THE LORD IN COMPLETE SURRENDER,

THERE IS COMING SOON, AN END—AND A BEGINNING.

THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE WILDERNESS FOR A

LONG TIME ARE JUST ABOUT TO COME OUT AND GO

INTO A WHOLE NEW DIMENSION IN GOD, DON’T TRY

TO FIGURE IT OUT ON YOUR OWN, LAY EVERYTHING

DOWN AT HIS FEET.

RELAX AND REST IN HIM, AND ONE DAY WE WILL

ALSO SEE OUR OWN BURNING BUSH, IF WE ARE

PAYING ATTENTION AND NOT SLEEPING, KEEP THE

FAITH, KEEP TRUSTING, STAY FOCUSED IN HIS

PRESENCE, PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT.

HE WILL LEAD AND GUILD US ALL THE WAY TO THE

END.

UNTIL NEXT TIME;

Larry
