"The Night is upon the Earth, we should all Constrain Him and ask Him to Stay."

Luke 24;21-32,
21 "But we trusted that it had been
he which should have redeemed Israel:
and beside all this, to day is the
third day since these things were done.
22 Yea, and certain women also of our
company made us astonished, which were
early at the sepulchre;
23 And when they found not his body,
they came, saying, that they had also
seen a vision of angels, which said
that he was alive.
24 And certain of them which were with
us went to the sepulchre, and found it
even so as the women had said: but him
they saw not.
25 Then he said unto them, O fools,
and slow of heart to believe all that
the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered
these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the
prophets, he expounded unto them in all
the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 And they drew nigh unto the village,
whither they went: and he made as though he
would have gone further.
29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide
with us: for it is toward evening, and the
day is far spent. And he went in to tarry
with them.
30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat
with them, he took bread, and blessed it,
and brake, and gave to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew
him; and he vanished out of their sight.
32 And they said one to another, Did not our
heart burn within us, while he talked with us
by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?"

 I still remember that day well
I was 18 or 19 and living in Tallahassee with
my family
My cousin and I were riding down the road headed
to Church not doing anything in particular
Not Praying or Praising the Lord or such
Just listening to the radio and chatting a bit
When all of a sudden we felt it
A feeling come into the car from above

We both simultaneously felt it and no words needed
to be spoken because we both looked at each other
at the same time with a look of extreme joy and
gladness and full of excited emotion
Tears began to flow down our faces as the intensity
of His Presence filled the car and every part of
our bodies

Our minds, our tongues, our chests, our stomachs so
that all of our desires were in an elevated state
giving only attention and Praise unto Him
Thanking Him, talking to Him, relishing in the fact
that He was visiting us from out of the blue

We remained in this air of Glory for a while as we
continued to ride down the highway
We have both kept this Blessed visit in our hearts
until this day, Confident in the fact that He is
still in the earth and that He can at any time He
desires make Himself known to us and Bless us with
the Strength and Comfort and extreme Joy of His
Presence

God is in the earth
He walks among men
He is there when men commit horrible crimes and
unheard of acts of sin towards one another
He is there to intercede if we ask Him but He will
not go against our wills so this is why the world is
as it presently is

Psalms 90:1-4 says,

1 "(A Prayer of Moses the man of God.) Lord, You
have been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever
You had formed the earth and the world, even
from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
3 You allow man to follow his own will, even to his
destruction; but plead with him, Repent, ye children of men.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as
yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the
night.

Genesis 6:3,

"And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive
with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days
shall be an hundred and twenty years."

Matthew 28:20,

"Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto
the end of the world. Amen."
