‘I Feel the Presence of The Lord’  

"I Feel The Presence of The Lord" is a personal collection of devotions intended to encourage the reader to seek and see the Lord in every aspect of their life.
The enemy of our souls would have us subscribe to the mentality of being endlessly busy, and therefore it being excusable to relegate God to a Sunday morning church service, if that. Thus, many in our churches today are powerless Christians and/or Christians in whom faith and fellowship with God is sorely wanting.
I Feel The Presence of The Lord is not just a book to be read as part of our daily devotions. It is a collection of thoughts and instructions to inspire the reader to meditate upon the Lord and His Word.

Why Jesus Comes Twice by ‘Brother Bill’

December 23, 2025

WHY JESUS COMES TWICE (Or: Why Judgment Needs Mercy First)

Jesus didn’t come twice because God changed His mind.

He came twice because humanity needed time to change its heart.

The First Coming: Rescue Before Ruling

The world wasn’t ready for judgment because:

•   We couldn’t even keep our own laws

•   We mistook power for authority

•   We confused knowledge with wisdom

•   We blamed systems instead of confronting sin

So Christ came not as Judge, but as Help.

He came to show us what God looks like when He loves enemies.

The first coming answered the question:

“Can humans be restored at all?”

The answer was yes—but not without:

•   Humility

•   Sacrifice

•   Truth

•   A new heart

The Second Coming: Judgment After Witness

The second coming isn’t about offering help—it’s about accountability.

Why wait?

Because God refuses to judge a world that can still say:

“We didn’t know.”

Between the two comings:

•   Truth is preached

•   Grace is offered

•   Deception is exposed

•   Choices are made

The second coming answers a different question:

“What did you do with the truth once you had help?”

Judgment without mercy would be tyranny.

Mercy without judgment would be chaos.

Two comings = perfect justice.
