God´s Greater Dream

GOD´S GREATER DREAM: “TO BE UNITED IN WHAT WE THINK AS IF WE WERE ONLY ONE PERSON”.




By: Gladys Raquel Hernández






“Do better and pay attention to what I have said. Try to get along and live peacefully with each other (2º Corinthians 13:11)

This message is dedicated to all those people who wish to have real and personal encounters with Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, who has revealed to me through dreams, who has called me in order to know Him and accept Him first, and then, to make me His servant, and who, day by day trains me to take the Gospel to every person who wishes to listen to fresh messages coming from God, thus, fulfilling His request:

“Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to do everything I have told you. I will be with you always, even until the end of the world. (Matthew 28:19-20)

Many years ago, when I was called by Jesus unexpectedly, I experienced a real transformation and revolution inside myself. I became a new person bit by bit, according to His will:

“Anyone who belongs to Christ is a new person. The past is forgotten and everything is new” (2º Corinthians 5:17)

Jesus has talked to me through a dream on one occasion in order to confirm my call as a “bridge”. I have been touched by the power of His Holy Spirit whom I defend with all my heart and I bear testimony of His existence. I have been always fostered to write strengthening messages that the Lord dictates into my heart through His precious guide that goes from Spirit to spirit, so as to share with people who wish to encounter Him and serve Him, so that they feel joyful and strong inside.

Jesus says:

“Listen, I am standing and knocking at your door. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we will eat together”. (Revelation 3:20)

God´s greater dream is to see the sinful human race redeemed (rescued and bought by blood Price), washed by Jesus´s blood through the repentance of sins. We are more than six thousand million people all round the world. God yearns to touch everyone of us with His Holy Spirit.

“God loved the people of this world so much that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who has faith in Him will have eternal life and never really die”. (John 3:16)

It is really a big challenge to join too many million human beings to be united in their thoughts and feelings of love and peace to each other. The Lord Jesus put this great dream into the apostle Paul´s heart two thousand years ago, and the apostle took it down in some of the thirteen letters he wrote and which are part of the New Testament.

At present, the Lord Jesus has also put this dream into my heart to share: To preach the Gospel, either in writing or orally to each person who wishes to read or to listen to it: first, to the Gentiles, that is, the “non-Jewish people”, because the Jewish rejected God at a certain time in history. Therefore, God decided to treat with the Gentiles (non-Jewish) during this “Grace Time”: since two thousand years ago up to the present. This does not mean that we cannot preach the Jewish who still have not accepted Jesus Christ in their hearts, considering that Israel is the root of the Gospel and God´s Word springs up from Israel. The Jewish as well as the Gentiles always have the opportunity to receive Jesus Christ in their hearts during this “Grace Time”.

The following biblical verse is a warning on the part of Jesus:

“I tell you that God´s kingdom will be taken from you (Israel) and given to people who will do what He demands (Gentiles converted to christianity)”. (Matthew 21:43)

At present, there are many people who believe in nothing and cannot see the God´s kingdom because they lack information of His Word. The apostle Paul carried out a magnificent work during his time.

“But the Lord told me to go, and He promised to send me far away to the Gentiles” (Acts 22:21).

But it is even the time of the Gentiles to be converted to christianity, pursuant to what God has established, until their time comes to an end, as estimated by God in His perfect plan (Luke 21:24) and then, the church of the Lord will be raised to His presence and the Grace Time will finish.” (1º Thessalonians 4:16-17)

Subsequently, God will treat with Israel again, His pioneer and loved people, for salvation, during the Time of the Great Tribulation”, as it is established in the Sacred Scriptures. (Romans 11.25-28).

It is important to notice that the Gentiles as well as the Jewish who receive Jesus Christ in their hearts in this Grace Time are called Christians and new people redeemed by God´s Grace. What is God´s Grace? It is a benefit in our favour, absolutely not deserved by us. Grace is spread, it is manifested and it is up to us to receive it or not during our lives!!!

Are we really christians? Do we know God and His Word well?

As for me, I started to know God well when He revealed Himself to me and started asking me to serve Him. When I serve Him, I know Him better, He is more pleased with my service and reveals Himself to me more and more in different ways.

The apostle Paul states in Romans 15:5-6

“God is the one who makes us patient and cheerful. I pray that He will help you live at peace with each other, as you follow Christ. Then all of you together will praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ”.

1º Corinthians 1:10 states:

“My dear friends, as a follower of our Lord Jesus Christ, I beg you to get along with each other. Don´t take sides. Always try to agree in what you think”.

Fhilippians 1:27 establishes:

“Above all else, you must live in a way that brings honor to the good news about Christ. Then, whether I visit you or not, I will hear that all of you think alike. I will know that you are working together and that you are struggling side by side to get others to believe the good news”.

Philippians 2.2 states:

“Now make me completely happy!. Live in harmony by showing love for each other. Be united in what you think, as if you were only one person”.

Philippians 2:5 establishes:

“And think the same way that Christ Jesus thought”.

Philippians 3:15-16 states:

“All of us who are mature should think in this same way. And if any of you think differently, God will make it clear to you. But we must keep going in the direction that we are now headed”.

Philippians 4:2 establishes:

“Euodia and Syntyche, you belong to the Lord, so I beg you to stop arguing with each other”.

This “feeling of love and peace with each other” the apostle Paul refers to in several biblical verses, is a miracle of God that is only felt by those people who open their sincere hearts to Him. God enters the opened hearts and lives therein forever. Therefore, people start understanding and perceiving that same feeling of peace with each other. Thus, we begin to have a complete and fluent communion with God through Jesus Christ, the One who makes God´s new agreement with us. (Hebrews 12:24)

The apostle Paul says something very interesting in 1º Corinthians 2:14.

“That´s why only someone who has God´s Spirit can understand spiritual blessings. Anyone who doesn´t have God´s Spirit thinks these blessings are foolish”.

Ephesians 1:17-18 establishes:

“I ask the glorious Father and God of our Lord Jesus Christ to give you His Spirit. The Spirit will make you wise and let you understand what it means to know God. My prayer is that light will flood your hearts and that you will understand the hope that was given to you when God chose you. Then you will discover the glorious blessings that will be yours together with all of God´s people”.

God´s greater dream is that the entire human race were part of that “same feeling of love and peace with each other”, so that He were in condition of raising His church to His presence (those who had faith in Christ before they died will be raised to life; next, all of us who are still alive will be taken up into the clouds together with them to encounter the Lord in the sky – 1º Thessalonians 4:16-17-).

This is set out to draw the attention of the entire human race in order to accept Jesus Christ in their hearts; even though it is established, pursuant to the biblical prophecies, that when the Lord comes back to take His church with Him, too many people will be excluded due to disobedience, rebellion and disbelief.

The following is God´s advice:

“Don´t be yourself the one who remains excluded and can never enter my eternal kingdom of peace, joy, love and justice”.

We should consider the following alarming biblical verses:

“My dear friends, you don´t live in darkness, and so that day won´t surprise you like a thief. (1º Thessalonians 5:4)

“Others may sleep, but we should stay awake and be alert”. (1º Thessalonians 5:6)

Despite this exclusion of disobedient people on the part of the Lord, we, as servants of God, must continue working to make people of all nations His disciples until the blast of God´s trumpet. (Matthew 28:19-20 – 1º Thessalonians 4:16-17)

“God has shown us how kind He is by coming to save all people”. (Titus 2:11)

All human beings have the possibility to receive the eternal salvation of their souls and subsequent glorified and incorruptible bodies such as the one of the Lord Jesus, by means of God´s Grace which is spread in abundance.

“The bodies we now have are weak and can die. But they will be changed into bodies that are eternal. Then the Scriptures will come true,
Death has lost the battle!
Where is its victory?
Where is its sting?” (1º Corinthians 15:54-55)

But God has granted the human race free will to choose and decide. It is up to each individual to accept the Lord Jesus as his savior, to express repentance of his sins and to follow God day by day, obeying His commandments and be faithful right to the end, in order to get the eternal salvation. (Matthew 10:22)


AMEN!!!
