Quotes:
Christ is something that we're all looking very hard for.
I realized that His coming, and His appearing and us being like Him, as He appears, is not off in the future.
He's appearing to me right now. And I'm like Him right now.
He's the potter and we're the clay.
Him appearing in the clouds or He appears in your room or whatever. That's a rapture theory. When God's appearing in our midst, right now.
It's like you wanted to slap your spirit – wake up! Your not going to live more than your living right now. Don't take for granted today.
The Word says that we'll see Him when we're looking for Him. And I do know that if we're looking for the Christ to appear in our brother, we'll see it.

I discovered the other day that I have a rapture theory. One of my favorite scriptures is when He appears, we will be like Him. That's based in the idea that the second coming of Christ is something that we're all looking very hard for. We want it. We've been taught the principle of the paraosia. He's coming, He's coming. He's coming. I realized that His coming, and His appearing and us being like Him, as He appears, is not off in the future, it's today. That blew my rapture theory, right out the window with the one that's supposed to happen. And I thank God for that deliverance, because He's appearing to me right now. And I'm like Him right now. How do we do these things? By recognizing and being aware. Are you aware of Him? Are you aware of His appearing? When you're aware of His appearing, you're not standing on the sidelines, watching the race go down the track. You're right out there drive in one of those cars. You're aware, there's an awareness in our, in our physical senses. He's appearing, and our change is with His appearance. And I think there's not a one of us who doesn't at least think about starting their day, looking for Him to appear during that day. Where's He going to appear to me today? So that scripture just totally changed. Changed my way of thinking. Because I don't pull it off, to another day, what I can have today. I can have the fullness of it today. It's all about His appearing today. That's where fullness, we don't know the days or or nor the hour and man alive, I'm not going to miss today. What is the gift that is available to us today?

He's the potter and we're the clay. This is amazing. He just all you can say is thank you.
Roger
God's gonna bring forth His sons. And collectively, we're going to be called the impossible ones.
Debbie
Yeah, exactly.
Ron
We're going to stand before the Father, as sons, and we are going to be so broken, and so thankful, and so worshiping Him, there will not be a shred of arrogance. There are not a shred within us that says, they could ever say that I attained something.
Debbie
Absolutely not.
Roger
I think in a very, very real sense about this business of today, and the Lord appearing. I hear Christ, and I find things that I wasn't even aware of stirred in me. Christ is appearing right now. And He's doing it through His body. And it's just as real, if you had an aspiration of Jesus, in His bodily form standing there next to you. It is no, it's this is greater, because it's imparting a revelation of Him. Not just seeing Him with physical eyes, He's imparting a revelation of Himself to us, it's happening.
Ron
Do not despise the day of small beginnings. The reason I said that is, you ripping out of your brain, some big revelation, Him appearing in the clouds or He appears in your room or whatever. That's a rapture theory. When God's appearing in our midst, right now. Are you aware that there's history being made in the kingdom right in front of your face? It's like you wanted to slap your spirit. Wake up. You're not going to live more than you're living right now. Wake up. Don't take for granted today, where you are right now. If we're always looking for something greater, we will never get there because we're missing. today. We're missing the steps right in front of us today.

The Word says that we'll see Him when we're looking for Him. And I do know that if we're looking for the Christ to appear in our brother, we'll see it.
