How many of you believe we will be out of here by the end of this month (next week!) and why?
How many of you DON'T believe we will be out of here by the end of this month and why?

Have no inklings either way. (not trying to fence sit either) Christ could come at any time, even today. If He, "tarries", it's not because He's, "slack", in His return but rather,"not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."
I do believe the time of grace is about over and I would be surprised if in five years or so (and I'm still living) the Lord hadn't returned. Still, the thought of an imminent return quickens my heart to be bolder in witnessing and to pray more consistently and fervently, for the salvation of friends/acquaintances/family who have thus far rejected Jesus invitation of eternal life with Him.

I want to believe this is the time, but I don't dare to allow myself the luxury to become excited about it because if I was wrong, I'd be very discouraged, verging on despair. It's kind of a surreal sort of limbo I'm living in right now. I've been praying for friends and family, but also praying for my husband and myself because if He doesn't come to get us soon life is going to be getting a whole lot harder. Not in a very good place right now.  |

I'm with you, Shann0. That's exactly how I've been feeling lately. I don't want to get my hopes up but at the same time I am beyond excited! I have to keep bringing myself back down to earth. Thus the thread...I wanted to see what everyone else was thinking and going through right now. I will be praying for you and your husband, Shann0. Also praying for you too Mae. Please pray for me and my family, I've been going through a lot of stuff as well...now they're threatening to shut down the government again next week...I just barely dodged that bullet in July but may not be so lucky this time around. If so then not only will I not have a house but I won't have a job either.  |

And the hits keep on coming. I just now recieved some more bad news on top of everything else. I think I'm being majorly attacked spiritually right now. I don't know how much more I can take!  |

Not in a very good place right now. Now would be nice I agree! Lifting you up in prayer for you and hubby's needs. Remember too, the Lord told us worrying produces nothing, He knows our troubles/needs. HUGS |

Yes Sisters! Of course, I pray for all of you. We certainly are being tested at this time.
Please Lord God! Help us in our time of need. Give us peace and come to meet us in the air soon! Come Lord Jesus! Amen

There are some well rounded awesome people here. Definitely think that he can come at any moment...but i have no push either way. I've always favored a post psalm 83 rapture scenario. But really....things are happening fast...so i'm just trying to live for him while i can.

This must be what was meant by "wear out the saints".

Thank you guys, you've made me feel a lot better! I feel like I'm either being tested big times or being attacked by Satan. Or both perhaps. I don't know. All I know is things are happening one after the other and every day there is something else.  ShannO I am standing in agreement with your prayer! Thank you and Amen! |
