I PRESS TOWARD THE GOAL, FOR THE PRIZE OF THE UPWARD CALL OF GOD ALMIGHTY – IN CHRIST JESUS!

 

Folks, Today More Than EVER, We MUST Focus (OR Re-Focus) Our Minds On The Spiritual Things ABOVE (IN Heaven); On Our Heavenly Rewards, Which We Shall Receive From Our Lord And Savior, Jesus Christ (AT The Being CAUGHT UP Together), As Willful Bondservants (And Good Soldiers) Of Jesus Christ; Remembering, To Give GOD Almighty ALL THE GLORY – For Everything HE (GOD Almighty) Does For Us, AND For Everything HE (GOD Almighty) Does Through Us!  After All, As Jesus Told Us, WITHOUT HIM (Jesus Christ) We Can Do – NOTHING!  [Read John 15:1-5 & 8]

So, With THIS Mindset, HERE Are Some Encouraging SCRIPTURES; That, I Pray Will Help Each Of Us To Do – JUST THAT!

Matthew 6:19-21

THEN, HE (Jesus) OPENED HIS MOUTH, AND TAUGHT THEM, SAYING, “DO NOT LAY UP FOR YOURSELVES (The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) – TREASURES ON EARTH; WHERE, MOTH AND RUST DESTROY, AND WHERE, THIEVES BREAK IN AND STEAL; BUT, LAY UP FOR YOURSELVES – TREASURES (REWARDS) IN HEAVEN; WHERE, NEITHER MOTH NOR RUST DESTROYS, AND WHERE, THIEVES DO NOT BREAK IN AND STEAL!  FOR WHERE, YOUR TREASURE IS (Your Rewards Are) – THERE (IN HEAVEN), YOUR HEART WILL BE ALSO!”

Colossians 3:1-4

IF THEN, YOU (The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) WERE RAISED (ALIVE) WITH CHRIST; SEEK THOSE (Spiritual) THINGS, WHICH ARE ABOVE (IN Heaven), WHERE CHRIST IS, SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD (GOD Almighty)!  SET YOUR MIND ON (Spiritual) THINGS – ABOVE (IN Heaven); NOT ON THE (Earthly) THINGS ON THE EARTH (IN Satan’s World)!  FOR YOU DIED (To Self), AND YOUR LIFE (IN The Spiritual Body) IS HIDDEN WITH CHRIST – IN GOD (GOD Almighty)!  WHEN CHRIST, WHO IS – OUR LIFE (THE HOPE OF EVERLASTING LIFE) APPEARS (AT The Being CAUGHT UP Together); THEN, YOU ALSO, WILL APPEAR WITH HIM (Jesus Christ) – IN GLORY (IN Your Spiritual Bodies – AT The Being CAUGHT UP Together)!

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Therefore, WE (The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Do NO Lose Heart (Are NOT Discouraged)!  Even Though, Our Outward Man (The Natural Body) – Is Perishing (Dying); Yet, THE INWARD MAN (The Spiritual Body) – Is Being RENEWED (Through The Holy Spirit), Day By Day!  For Our Light Affliction (The Natural Body), Which Is – BUT, For A Moment (A VAPOR; Read Psalm 39:5 & 11, Psalm 62:9, & James 4:14); Is Working For Us – A Far More Exceeding AND Eternal Weight Of Glory (The Spiritual Body); While, WE (The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Do NOT Look – At The (Earthly) Things (IN Satan’s World), Which Are SEEN (Through Our Human Eyes); BUT, (WE Look) At The (Spiritual) Things (IN Heaven), Which Are NOT Seen (Through Our Human Eyes; BUT, Through OUR FAITH, FAITH – IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)!  For The (Earthly) Things (IN Satan’s World), Which Are SEEN (Through Our Human Eyes) – ARE Temporary; BUT, The (Spiritual) Things (IN Heaven), Which Are NOT Seen (Through Our Human Eyes; BUT, Through OUR FAITH, FAITH – IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ) – ARE ETERNAL (ARE EVERLASTING)!

2 Timothy 4:7-8

I HAVE FOUGHT – THE GOOD FIGHT, I HAVE FINISHED – THE RACE (TO EVERLASTING LIFE), I HAVE KEPT – THE FAITH (FAITH – IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)!  FINALLY, THERE IS LAID UP FOR ME (IN Heaven) – THE CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHICH THE LORD (Jesus Christ) – THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE, WILL GIVE TO ME – ON THAT DAY (AT The Being CAUGHT UP Together); AND NOT TO ME – ONLY; BUT ALSO, TO ALL (The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty), WHO HAVE LOVED HIS (Jesus Christ’s) APPEARING (AT The Being CAUGHT UP Together)!

Philippians 3:12-14 & 20-21

NOT, That I Have Already – ATTAINED (Obtained IT), OR Am Already – PERFECTED; BUT, I Press On, That I May Lay Hold, Of THAT, For Which Christ Jesus Has Also – LAID HOLD Of Me!  Brethren, I Do NOT Count Myself To Have APPREHENDED (Laid Hold Of IT); BUT, One Thing – I DO, Forgetting Those Things – Which Are BEHIND, AND Reaching Forward To Those Things – Which Are AHEAD; I Press Toward THE GOAL, FOR THE PRIZE OF THE UPWARD CALL OF GOD (GOD Almighty) – IN CHRIST JESUS (AT The Being CAUGHT UP Together)!

For Our Citizenship IS – IN HEAVEN; From Which, We (The Body Of Christ, The Bride Of Christ, ALL Truly “Born Again” Fellow Believers – Children Of GOD Almighty) Also, Eagerly Wait For THE SAVIOR – The Lord Jesus Christ (AT The Being CAUGHT UP Together); WHO WILL TRANSFORM Our Lowly Body (The Natural Body), That IT May Be CONFORMED – TO HIS GLORIOUS BODY (The Spiritual Body); ACCORDING TO THE WORKING, BY WHICH, HE (Jesus Christ) IS ABLE, EVEN TO SUBDUE ALL THINGS TO HIMSELF!

WOW, I CAN’T WAIT!  HOW ABOUT YOU?  AMEN!
