EVERY DAY RAPTURE . Every day, there is a form of rapture that occurs, which involves the collection of the works, fruits, offerings, treasures and prayers of the saints into heaven. Angels take the offerings, works, fruits, gifts, prayers and praises/worship of the saints to heaven every moment of the days and nights. Only those who are ready with their treasure-parcels each day and each moment, have their treasure-parcels raptured into heaven. . It will be wasted day, if none of your treasure, works, fruits, gifts, prayer, praises, worship or glory, was taken into heaven to the LORD in any day. That will only mean that your works or fruits were not able to make the rapture of that day. . Remember, where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Set your heart on things above, not things on the earth. Place your affection on things above where Christ is sited at the right Hand of the majesty on High. (Colossians 3:1-3). Therefore, allow Christ to rapture your heart every day, rapture your mind, rapture your fruits, rapture your faith, rapture your patience and rapture your obedience and love for God. . How would you expect your body to be raptured in any day, when your heart is not raptured every day? Your body will follow your heart, but your heart will follow your treasure. Therefore, take your treasure to the place where you would want both your heart and your body to be. . AMANDA: Can this your body get into heaven? . CONSTANCE: Yes, if your heart and treasure is there already with Jesus Christ the Son of God. . AMANDA: But how can your body get into heaven when it is written that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God? (1 Corinthians 15:50). . CONSTANCE: Yes, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven, but the body can inherit the kingdom of heaven. Infact, Jesus taught that a man with halved body parts can still get into heaven with his halved body parts. As it is written, “It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire” (Mark 9:47). . AMANDA: This does not make sense to me because one part says flesh and blood cannot enter into the kingdom, and here you cite another part which says one could enter with even half of his body part into the kingdom. . CONSTANCE: There is difference between ‘Flesh’ and ‘Body.’ It is the flesh and blood part of your body that must not enter into the kingdom, not the rest of the body. The flesh and blood are that part of your body that makes man mortal and corruptible. That is the part of man which must not inherit life or the kingdom. . Flesh simple means anything that can die or that is corruptible or that can fail in nature or fade away. Yet, that is not the whole part of a spiritual man in Christ Jesus. A spiritual man has part or members of his body that do not belong to flesh. Thus, in the great change, flesh and blood are separated from the rest of the body of the man, and he puts on immortality and incorruption. This is how it must occur in the day of Rapture of the saints of Jesus Christ. As it is written, “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I show you a mystery; “We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 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.” For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.” (1 Corinthians 15:50-53) . AMANDA: Oh, I see. . CONSTANCE: The heavenly beings are all wearing bodies, though they are spirits. Spirits have bodies in heaven, but no spirit have flesh in heaven except the Holy Spirit whose flesh is Jesus Christ – for the Word became flesh (John 1:14). Therefore, the only flesh and blood you will find in heaven is the flesh of Jesus Christ and the blood of Jesus Christ. . AMANDA: I can’t wait to be taken to heaven. . CONSTANCE: You have to wait. As it is written, “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be you also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws near.” (James 5:7-8) . AMANDA: Tell me how to wait. . CONSTANCE: Invest in the promises of Christ coming, set your heart, mind and affection on things above where Christ is and where you will be also; ensure your fruits of righteousness, goodworks, praises, worship, thanksgiving, prayers, faith treasures, faithfulness and love are always raptured or collected to heaven unto the LORD. To wait, you must wait on investing on the LORD, for the harvest comes with Him. Hear these words: “I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; That in everything you are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: So that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 1:4-8)
