Morning by Morning, September 24 - Jesus the King of Glory is Coming!

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I lift up my eyes to the hills -- to the mountain of the God and the holy place of Your Presence, to the place and to the One where my help comes from (Psalm 121:1). ...

"But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with Him those who have died. For this we declare to. You by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede those who have died. For the Lord Himself, with a cry of command, with the archangel's call and with the sound of God's trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words" (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).

One day You will return in Your glory in the clouds! One day the clouds will part and the heavens will open. One day we'll hear Your cry of command, we'll hear the archangel's call, we'll hear the sound of Your trumpet blast. And we'll see You descend from heaven in all the glory of Your manifest Presence! Christ has died; Christ is risen; Christ will come again!

Every day between this day and that day to come, You long to come in Your glory into my heart. You long to part the clouds of all that would keep me from seeing You as You are, to open the heavens of Your mercy and grace over my life, to quicken my spirit to hear Your voice and answer Your call. You long for Your trumpet blast to bring down every Jericho wall around my heart that would be any barrier between us so I can fully take hold of the promised land of my inheritance in You and Your will for me!

"Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of Glory may come in. Who is the King of Glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of Glory!" (Psalm 24:9-10)

Come, Lord Jesus! Come, King of Glory! Come in the glory of Your manifest Presence into every place in my heart, every area of my life, every moment of my day! "The Spirit and the bride say, 'Come!' And let everyone who hears say, 'Come!' And let everyone who is thirsty come! Let anyone who wishes take the Water of Life as a gift!" (Revelation 22:17) You will fulfill the promise of Your Word, "The One who testifies to these things say, 'Surely I AM coming soon!'" (Revelation 22:20) "Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!" (Revelation 22:20). "The grace of the Lord Jesus be with (us all)!" (Revelation 22:21) In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays

My friend, may you look up to Jesus and open wide your heart for Jesus the King of Glory to come in, even as you long with expectant faith for the second coming of Christ, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!
