Happy 4th of July



Americans have good reasons to celebrate, and it's not only because of winning their independence but because there is a wonderful and loving God who cares and is watching over them, as well as the rest of the world. It is also God who gives the victories in times of wars. Despite people's foolishness, God has a plan to win back the hearts of people and nation's and that will be exciting to see. If you think fireworks are breathtaking, just wait until you see what God can do. Even though there may be certain disappointments with fireworks, there will be no disappointment with the awesome power of God. Neither can anything match His wonderful peace, love and joy that only He can put into people's hearts.

Most everyone loves fireworks. Whether it is the 4th of July, New Year's Eve or some other special event, people around the world enjoy parties and seeing the night sky light up with a spectacular fireworks display. Celebrations, feasts and festivals were designed by God, and he loves to see his people enjoying themselves. However, in most celebrations these days, God is the farthest thing from people's minds. But, that is about to change, because God is going to put on one of his own shows that no one will ever forget!

The Heavenly Father is going to display His love and power in ways never seen before. All because of His grace and mercy; so keep looking up, for your redemption is drawing near. We're going to celebrate the restoration of all things, even our hopes and dreams. You may even get a glimpse of heaven or beyond. Or see Jesus face to face. Get ready for the event of the century. The Father has gifts, blessings and surprises for everyone who loves him. We are going to celebrate, sing praises, and dance all night long. There will be multitudes of people healed, and we will see the miraculous taking place in heaven and on earth, as the Father pours out His love and compassion for a lost and hurting world.

All of God's children are coming home, not one will remain lost. And that will be the best reason to celebrate. People will one day wake up, realizing their need, and start heading back home. Their hearts and minds will be changed by the embrace of the Father. Then the angelic hosts and saints of heaven will join the celebrating, as we feast at His table for all eternity.

P.S. I'm looking forward to meeting you and celebrating together.
"All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will worship before you."

(Psalm 22:27)
