WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  FLIGHT SUIT

I want to share with you an article that was written by my late husband. We published a Christian Newsletter for many years. I came across a copy and this stuck out to me as something I wanted to share with you.

The flight suits worn by fighter pilots and astronauts are an amazing piece of technology. It allows them to perform super human feats at speeds that were beyond all comprehension just one hundred years ago.

The forces they endure during high-speed maneuvers would turn them into sack of pudding without the flight suit. Even in the early days of flight, pilots had to dress for the cold of an open cockpit. The flight suit allows humans to escape gravity for a short time.

1Thes 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

We have the promise of God that one day we will escape the bonds of gravity without aid of a machine. But we will still need a “flight suit” our wedding garments.

Matt 22:10-12  So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. 11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:  12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

Many of us have heard the story of a man on an airplane that is told to put on a parachute because it makes his flight better. The parachute is uncomfortable and awkward. The man eventually takes it off. The plane crashes and the man dies because he took off his parachute, he didn’t have time put it on and jump out.

There was a second man that kept his parachute on not because he wanted to improve the flight but because he knew the plane would crash. He would endure anything to keep from losing his parachute.

These two men are examples of people who make a start to live for Christ. The first one was told it would make life better, but he decided it is too awkward or uncomfortable. He gave up and end up crashing with the plane. But the second man understood, that his choice was clear. He must live for Jesus, no matter how awkward or uncomfortable. He must hold onto Jesus.

Some flight suits today actually allow one to glide. They are called “wing suits.” A wing suit turns falling into flying. We are still imperfect humans living in a corrupt world. There will be times we find ourselves in a fall. Satan will put a stumbling block in front of a pit and be more than willing to help us trip. If we have on our flight suit then, not only can we recover but we can gain victory over the enemy.

Gen 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

We do not have to hit bottom just because we are falling. All we have to do is spread our wings. We do this by prayer and praise. The word tells us to put on the garments of praise when we are feeling spiritually down.  He will pick us up and make us feel like we are flying.

I want to leave you with one final verse.

Isaiah 40:29-31 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Until next time,
