Want to go home.......

[soldierforJc]

i feel the same way you guys do i want to go home soon to thiers no reason for me to stay here any longer :pray

Often times my heart literally aches with the desire for Jesus to appear, and I think "come now Lord, please come now". No, that desire is not because my life is full of trials and tribulations. The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful wife, a cozy home, reasonably good health, and a good paying if not very rewarding job. The problem for me these days is that when I look at the world around me, even if a cool breeze is blowing and the sun is shining in a cloudless sky, I can't help but feel that everything is just "wrong". This is a fallen and corrupted world we live in, and it is not now how our blessed Creator intended it to be. I long for the day when all of creation will be redeemed and remade, myself included. I can especially relate to other posters who have said that one of their great desires is to finally and forever be free of this sinful earhtly body and be clothed with a pefect heavenly one. I am sick to death of sin, my own in particular and the world's in general.

Finally, I covet everyone's prayers. As I observe the fast approach of our Lord and Savior it gets harder and harder to give myself to my earthly job as I know a good Christian should. It is hard to get excited about shuffling a few more papers when I know that soon it will no longer matter. So please pay for me that I continue to fruitfully occupy until He comes.

Beagler,

You really just managed to convey exactly how I feel as well. The last few years have really been hard for me (but blessed) as I came to terms with personal issues, and my life is so much better now..but things could be perfect from a worldly perspective and things would still be "off"...

I look at the events unfolding and view them with a combination of peace and mild panic..(depending upon how my walk with the Lord is and how much I'm surrendering my self-will to him or not)..I really, truly hope that we all don't have to wait too much longer, but if we do that our Lord and savior will give us the strength and peace to preservere and be about his business in good times as well as bad. (Sounds weird, but I feel I draw closer to God when I'm struggling than when things are going well).


Peace.

Yes, Ive been wanting to go home to Lord Jesus where there is no more hatred and sin. Also Solomon was never more right in his saying that everything on Earth without God is futile in Ecclesiastes. Now Im praying to God to give me the strength to bear with the world's wickedness for now, but I also pray that he will not tarry any longer. So, Maranatha!!!! :pray

Hmmm I think that if we desire to go home too much, we may lose the whole point of us being here at this present time: to bring as many people into the Kingdom as possible and to live for Him as if He could come back at any time.
As for me, I do have that desire sometimes, but, then I realise, I have a job to do. :)

It's called balance. Philippians 1:21-25 reminds me of the ongoing struggle.

I agree we are to carry on with our task of planting seeds. However, we are to always be looking up in anticipation of our Blessed Hope, and on this site in particular we "encourage one another with these words" 1 Thes 4:13-18

I am not of the impression that being watchmen has distracted us from our Great Commission Mat 28:19-20

In fact, my role has watchman has only amplified my sense of urgency to spread the Gospel, and my understanding of prophesy (I am always learning) has given me salt to spice my witness Col 4:6

Amen...me to. This world feels like brass. Everything is so fake and people are so cold. More and more ears are closing off to the message of Christ, some knowingly. The only light I have left in my heart now is Jesus Christ. This world has a way of draining the life and energy out of a believer. It's so polar to everything we stand for, and it gets worse from here. No wonder the bible calls the rapture our blessed hope. When you know the truth and know Jesus, there really is nothing to hold onto in this world. It's substandard and unacceptable really. It's just so sinful and self deprecating. I wake up each day thankful that I am one day closer to the blessed event, one day closer to my eternal Sabbath in Christ, one day closer to being off this sinful, about to be judged planet. Praise God that I am bringing a few people with me whom I have shared the gospel with. I am blessed with knowing that my wife is saved, and my family, and even a few of my friends. Christ has abundantly given me my portion in this world: food, clothes, a stable job. But I count it all a loss for Him. I'd trade it any day for the rapture.

Consumed is exactly how I describe myself right now. I think about the rapture on an hourly basis as well. I hand out tracts (sometimes) during my breaks, and lunch. I just feel like the rapture will be SOON, and I don't want anyone left here on Earth.:wave:wave

Urgh! It drives me crazy when people say...I want to watch my kids grow, Or I want this or that! I dont want to stay in this world and watch my daughter get her heart torn apart! Better is one day in his courts! I dont know why anyone would want to stay other than the fact they want to save one more soul! I have been watching and waiting 14 years..and I am weary! Iwant to go home! Come Lord Jesus!

[Sweet4Christ]

I have a question, have any of you just had no desire but to go home for the past couple days maybe weeks?Because thats what I've been desiring everyday lately is to just go home and everyday I find myself wanting to hear that trumpet more and more, just wondering all your thoughts on this.:thinking

I am waiting and watching and praying EVERY DAY.....
