Rarified air.
Posted by appolus on December 5, 2018
The manifest presence of God is rarified atmosphere. Those who have breathed it in have breathed in life itself. They have breathed in glory and majesty and beauty and holiness. It affects every part of who they are in their minds and their spirits and in their bodies. Indeed the prophet knew this when he wrote that those who wait upon the Lord shall run and not grew weary, shall walk and not faint, they shall renew their strength and soar with eagles wings. Brothers and sisters, have you breathed in this air lately? Are you weary, do you feel faint? Do you need your strength renewed and is there a longing to soar with the eagles in the updrafts of His majesty? Will you call upon Him? Will you wait upon Him. He is life itself and we cannot last long in this dark world without His light to fill us and His glory to edify the deepest parts of who we are. Without Him we would lose our way and lose ourselves.
One day the Lord will rend the heavens and His glory will flow down the mountains and fill every valley with His majesty. The seas will flee at His presence, the mountains will humbly bow and say ” Glory , glory to the risen King.” The sun will turn its face away in shame for it is outshone by the brilliance of His illumination. The moon and the stars will cry out ” Holy, Holy is He who was and is and forever shall be.” And every voice from every tongue will say “Jesus,” and acknowledge the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
And the beasts of the earth will fall down and cover their faces and then the lion will rise up and approach the lamb and they will lay down together. And every knee shall bow in every tribe and in every nation and even the hordes of hell will fall silent as He approaches. The earth itself will grow silent and shall be still and then a glorious noise will begin to rise and will fill the earth, it will fill the sea it will fill the night skies it will fill the whole universe and all that will be heard will be the choirs of angels, that heavenly choir and the glory of God will not only cover the earth but will fill up everything that there is or has ever been.
Gods saints, His children will rise on this glorious symphony, they will arise in the updrafts of His glory and majesty and it will carry them into the heart of God. And those who rejected this magnificent glory will fall and their cries will be heard as they fall into the depths of darkness, for what eyes can ever see light again that were not sanctified eyes. And He will reign forever.
A Call To The Remnant

Brother Frank…….The last line of your excellent article sums up to whole problem with Christianity today, especially here in Mexico. “For what eyes can ever see light again, that were not sanctified eyes.” For most Christians the very last member of their body that gets sanctified is their eyes, and without sanctified eyes they will walk in the darkness of the world forever. The only way to escape the corruption, violence, lustful temptation, and chaos of this fallen world, is to look at it all through ‘sanctified eyes”. Eyes that have beheld the glory of Jesus Christ our Lord, will never be moved by the corruption, and chaos, of this world ever again. Good article brother Frank

Amen bro Robert. The eternal perspective, the eyes that can see the Kingdom and futility of this world and all of its ways, are the eyes that can see the Lord and give us an eternal hope that is not rooted or grounded in this world…………………….bro Frank
