THE CHANGE TO A ZION HEART

If you have not perceived, I really get into Visions  of Glory.  I just read the "one star" reviews on Amazon and was not impressed with these folks.  Next to scripture, this is the book that has had the most profound impact on me over any other as far as preparing my heart to accept what is coming in our near future.

After reading that the world population had been cut by 75% due to war and disease (I have been calling that number for years - some places on the face of the earth as high as 90-100%), I read the following that makes my heart yearn:

Here in our little part of Zion, our hearts were changing, our bodies were changing, and our spiritual IQ was changing.......  It took us years to understand that we had to evolve into Zion, not just march to it.  It was a process that involved stripping away everything belonging to the world and replacing it with total faith in God.  We had to learn that we did not need anything from the telestial world.  All we needed was complete faith in Christ.  It was a hard transition to make, but it was one of the reasons our journey to Zion took so many years - not to cover the distance, but to evolve spiritually so that we would be worthy to be in Zion when we actually arrived there.

This is similar to what happened to the ancient children of Israel in their 40 year journey on the short distance from Egypt to the Promised Land.

Man I hope I am ready!  It will be an exciting time!!
