I heard the Lord say,

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 1 Corinthians 15:19 (KJV)

This morning I send love to My people, the love of life. My love is the extension of life. Extend your thinking. Extend how you see, what you hear, and why you believe.

Extension noun (REACH) the fact of reaching, stretching, or continuing; the act of adding to something in order to make it bigger or longer:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 (KJV)

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
John 13:34 (KJV)

I commanded love in the beginning.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 (KJV)

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13 (KJV)

Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. Jude 21 (KJV)

Wean yourself from destructive thoughts. Do not think if I don’t intervene immediately – sudden destruction will come. I AM not just the God of the moment.

1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 (KJV)

I AM not just a right now God of the moment. I AM a forever Lord and King. 

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:52 (KJV)

Stop questioning Salvation. Yes I rose from the dead. Yes I died for your sins. Yes you have eternal life through My resurrection.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (KJV)

Look beyond Salvation. Remember why you chose eternal life. Do not stop believing for the promise of eternal life.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
John 10:27-28 (KJV)

23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 1 John 2:23-25 (KJV)

12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. Romans 5:12-15 (KJV)

18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:18-21 (KJV)

Children you limit who I AM when you just focus on things happening right now – temporal.

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18 (KJV)

• Look to the future
• Pray for the future
• Take your eyes off right now

Do you think about how far your future extends when you open a savings account, buy a new home, or have a child?

Think more about Heaven, this is a future thought:

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. Revelation 21:1-5 (KJV)

Vision: I saw the Lord turning pages in a big Prayer Book. The background was a colorful garden shaped like a giant puzzle. Every time a person prayed, the prayer request went to heaven as a puzzle piece.

People had his/her own page in the Prayer Book with their name. The prayer request (Puzzle Piece) went by their name.

The puzzle had open spaces the size of the puzzle pieces. Inside the puzzle words were written in big bold black ink. The words were:

• Mercy
• Forgiveness
• Grace
• The Promises of God
• My Will be Done
• Another Chance
• Long-suffering
• Loving-Kindness
• My Word
• My Way
• The Answer is Come

Prayers were answered with the completion of the puzzle.

19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 1 Corinthians 15:19-26 (KJV)
