WAITING FOR MY PRINCE TO COME

And I saw heaven opened, and 

behold a white horse; and he that 

sat upon him was called Faithful 

and True, and in righteousness 

he doth judge and make war.

Revelation 19:11

Last night I went to bed with a heavy 

heart  This last year we have heard 

of many who have turned their lives 

around after searching for many years 

for happiness.  They searched for 

it in the swamps that had been 

painted on the top surface to 

appear very beautiful.  They not 

only swam in the swamps but 

many of them have swam to 

the depths of those pools. 

As they plunged into the pool 

looking for happiness they soon 

found it was not on the top surface. 

Instead of getting out of the pool, 

they dove deeper into the water.

Why, you might ask did they 

dive deeper?  The answer is the

the pool had been painted an

iridescent carnival blue and 

early in life they had learned to 

run after those fairy-tales in

search of their prince.  

Each time they plunged deeper into

the depths of this pool, it brought 

forth a deeper dissatisfaction and 

once again, instead of climbing out 

of the pool they began to pick up the 

mud they found laying around the 

edges and started slinging it at anyone 

who tried to help them find their way 

out of the muck and mire of life.  

They look at our lives and throw 

it up into our face, "You have waited 

and waited for your Prince to come 

and where is he?  You have sat and 

do not enjoy the aroma of all the 

pleasures of life around you in wait 

for your Prince, but,  "Is he to be found? " 

How can you judge me for enjoying 

the wait instead of sitting and gazing 

at the sky in wait of this one who 

never seems to come?"

I must say many years ago, I 

also was tempted to dive into
the enchanted waters and join those
basking inside of this iridescent
intoxicating carnival blue pool,
as it seemed much more appealing to
me than sitting and waiting for my

Prince to come.  It seemed almost

daily I would watch other believers

plunge into the ebullience wooing depths

and they seemed to be enjoying life to it's 

fullest while I sat and waited for what 

others began to say, "Our fairy-tale Prince."  

As time has passed I have watched 

those people swim deeper and 

deeper looking for something I 

surely thought they had found the 

moment they dove into these inviting

 warm waters.  Instead the satisfaction

was only a temporary satisfaction.

As the waters began to chill around 

them they could only remember the 

warm spa feeling they received the 

first time they entered the waters.  

Now that they keep diving deeper

they can't even see the trail of 

tears they are leaving behind from 

their children who are watching 

them drown in the carnival blue

pool.  

The sisters and brothers, 

mothers and fathers, aunts and

uncles can see plain as day this 

person is drowning but the person

themselves throw out more mud 

and scream to be left alone as they 

too are in search of their prince

in these waters they have entered. 

As I prepare to decorate my grand-

daughters fairy-tale Disney seventh 

birthday cake,  I can understand why 

so many people fall for this desire to 

be taken away into this fairy-tale 

world.  It is one filled with a sense of 

total satisfaction and ecstasy.  One 

where we do not have to deal with the 

sink over-flowing, the toilet needing 

cleaned, the battery on the car not working 

properly and the bed needing to be made 

for the day. It is a land where we can 

lay back and enjoy life right inside this

hair raising, filthy dirty world we live in. 

What happens when we enter the carnival 

blue pool is the same thing that happens 

when you pick up a carnival blue glass 

and look through it-everything becomes 

distorted.  

I listen to people talk about how 

perverted so and so is or how could

this person possibly not see the way 

they are living their lives is causing 

ripple effects that could take years 

of counseling for their dear children 

to overcome.  Yet, they  themselves 

can't see, they are swimming in the 

same pool as this very person they 

are referring to, the difference is-they 

just haven't swam as deep into the 

waters as the other person. 

Each day at 4:30 PM my alarm

goes off and I pray for some precious 

people who believed the carnival blue 

pool and fluffy cotton candy of 

this life will soon become a reality 

to them.  I pray they may see that 

staying in those waters too long has 

caused their lives to swivel up and 

waste away and the cotton candy 

pleasure of this life has only 

caused them to become worldly fat, 

ugly and be diseased with pride, 

anger, arrogance, hatefulness, and

loneliness.  I pray they find, the depth of 

their empty heart can never be filled-no

matter how deep they dive into this 

pool that is wooing them to come 

a little deeper to find their pleasure.  

I pray they soon find the heart just can't 

seem to ever find this satisfaction 

they are in search of.  I pray instead of 

swimming in the carnival blue iridescent 

waters that has distorted their view, they 

will come to shore, wrap themselves

in the perfect peace of Jesus Christ, To 

sit on the banks for awhile, and to watch 

and wait for the True Prince to come. 

While doing so, I pray they can see- 

they themselves can help others out 

of the fairy--tale waters onto the 

shores where real peace is found.  

A peace that causes others to 

celebrate their wholeness instead of 

worry about them drowning in the 

falsehood this world seems to be

distorting everyone's eyes with. 

I pray they will follow the truth which 

causes their family members to 

bathe in contentment that their lives 

too, will be alright.  That they will 

no longer be eating of the pleasures 

of destruction but from the table 

of righteousness, holiness and purity.  

The table that causes us to gain souls 

for the eternal kingdom and not become 

worldly fat-filled with all the worldly 

attributes.  I pray we all begin together,

to learn the attributes of our Prince who

one day will come for us, as he is called 

Faithful and True, and Righteousness.  

As I shared at the top of this blog, I went 

to bed with a very heavy heart, but this 

morning I had a song on my heart.  It was 

a song that those I am praying for will find

their Prince one day.  Then we together 

will be able to walk on streets of gold and 

enjoy the beauty-not a faily-tale beauty, 

but the real beauty of the King of Kings.  

WAITING FOR MY PRINCE TO COME

Revelation 21:7 - 22:7

7  He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

8  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

9  And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.

10  And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

11  Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

12  And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

13  On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

14  And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15  And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

16  And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

17  And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

18  And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

19  And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

20  The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

21  And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

22  And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

23  And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

24  And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

25  And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

26  And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

27  And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

1  And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2  In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3  And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

4  And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

5  And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

6  And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

7  Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
