Find The Lord, Return To The Lord, God Almighty Implores YOU

I’m going to get personal here, with YOU, and I’m talking specifically to Believers and Yet-To-Be-Believers, in God Almighty and The Lord Jesus Christ.  Believers, God Almighty is imploring YOU, to get back on His Path, that’s God’s Specific Path for YOU.  Yet-To-Be-Believers, God’s Almighty is imploring YOU, to a Wake-up Call, to turn away from sin, and back to Him, by accepting His Only Son, Jesus Christ, as your personal Lord and Savior.  Both your paths lead back to God Almighty, through The Lord Jesus Christ, with help from The Holy Spirit.  The World is in turmoil, I will not argue with this fact, but We must first make certain We are right with God Almighty. 

Believers, YOU have already found God’s Amazing Saving Grace, through God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  YOU have accepted God’s Only Son, Jesus Christ, as your personal Lord and Savior.  YOU have repented, turned away from sin, and back to God Almighty.  YOU have welcomed Jesus Christ into your heart, through The Holy Spirit, He now abides within YOU, and YOU abide within Him, by God’s Word.  YOU have accepted God’s Word, The Holy Bible, as The Truth.  YOU realize that by reading God’s Word, be it a Book, Chapter, or Verse, God Almighty speaks to YOU, revealing what He wants YOU to know, to understand, at that moment.  God has a Specific Path for YOU, does this mean YOU always walk it, no.  What it does mean, is when YOU stray from His Path, He will continue to nudge YOU back towards it.  After all, despite the vastness of The Universe He has created, despite the billions of people on this Earth, God still takes time out to concentrate, to care about, to Love, YOU.  God created YOU, in His Own Image, with a specific purpose in mind.  No, I can’t tell YOU exactly what that purpose is, but I can tell YOU, that YOU are very special to God.  He has Good Works for YOU to perform, in His Name, that literally only YOU can do, and if YOU don’t do them, perhaps no one will.  At any given moment in time, YOU could encounter someone, who needs to hear about The Lord Jesus Christ, and if YOU don’t take the time to tell them, perhaps no one will, chilling huh.  However, YOU must be walking God’s Path for YOU, be right with God, then let The Holy Spirit flow through YOU, The Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ, will do the rest, God Promises.  Once We become Believers, Jesus’ Disciples, We take upon Ourselves, Our Cross, Our Mission, to share The Gospel of Jesus Christ, to go forth and make more Disciples, Baptizing them, in The Name of The Father, in The Name of The Son, and in The Name of The Holy Spirit.

Yet-To-Be-Believers, I call YOU this because it means YOU will find God’s Amazing Saving Grace, through God’s Free Gift of Salvation, at some point in time.  I want YOU to understand, God Almighty created YOU, in His Own Image, and He cares about YOU more than YOU may ever understand.  God keeps His Eyes on YOU, your entire lifetime.  There is no place on this Earth, YOU can go, that God cannot see YOU, chilling huh.  He gives YOU hints of His Presence All the time, YOU just don’t realize it.  He places people, in your path, in your Life, to try to nudge YOU towards Him.  YOU know this yourself, because YOU have felt His Presence, even if YOU don’t want to admit it, even to yourself.  YOU hear His Voice, YOU feel His Presence, YOU feel His Hands, yet YOU hesitate to welcome Him.  I bet there has been, at least, one time in your Life, that something happened, dangerous or slightly dangerous, where YOU could have or should have been injured or worst, yet something or someone kept YOU from harm, am I right?  If YOU think God only intervenes in your Life, after YOU accept His Son, Jesus, YOU are sadly mistaken.  But like any good Parent, yearning for YOU to learn and do the right thing, God Almighty is patient.  He waits for that Golden Moment, that light clicks-on in your head, when YOU finally realize, YOU ache, YOU hurt, YOU burn with the desire to have God Almighty fully embrace YOU.  When YOU take that step and accept His Only Son, Jesus Christ, for who His is, what He did, what He truly means for YOU and to YOU.  The moment, when All The Angels in Heaven Rejoice Aloud, that another Child of God Almighty, has come Home.

Which leads me back to the beginning of this message, both your paths lead back to God Almighty, through The Lord Jesus Christ, with help from The Holy Spirit.  What kind of support team and reference material do We have, YOU ask?  Our Support Team consists of God Almighty, The Lord Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit.  Our reference material is The Holy Bible, God’s Word, The Truth.  Our Support Team also consists of Fellow Believers, Brothers and Sisters, in Christ.  All Believers are commanded by The Lord Jesus Christ, to share The Gospel, to Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ, to lead Yet-To-Be-Believers to The Truth, about God’s Amazing Saving Grace, through His Free Gift of Salvation.  Yes, that’s right, it’s not only your Pastor’s job, to lead people to Christ, it’s YOUR JOB, too!  None of Us, is promised a Tomorrow folks, that person YOU pass by, may not have tomorrow, to make this decision.  Believers, We are to be in this World, not of this World, Our Eternal Home, is in God’s Immediate Presence, for Eternity.  Our Primary Goal, in this Life, is to Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ, to go forth and make Disciples, so Let’s Get Going About The Father’s Business.  Amen.

Destructive Doctrines, False Prophets, And False Teachers

There are false prophets, among the People, even as there will be false teachers among YOU, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying The Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves, swift destruction.  And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom The Way of Truth, will be blasphemed.  By covetousness they will exploit YOU, with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has NOT been idle, and their destruction does NOT slumber.

For if God did NOT spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to Hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for Judgment; and did NOT spare The Ancient World, but Saved Noah, One of Eight People, a Preacher of Righteousness, bringing in The Flood on the World of the ungodly; and turning The Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example, to those who afterward would live ungodly; and delivered Righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that Righteous Man, dwelling among them, tormented his Righteous Soul, from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds), then The Lord knows how to Deliver The Godly, out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for The Day of Judgment, and especially those who walk according to the flesh, in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority.  They are presumptuous, self-willed.  They are NOT afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, whereas Angels, who are Greater in Power and Might, do NOT bring a reviling accusation against them, before The Lord.

But these, like natural brute beasts made, to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do NOT understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure, to carouse in the daytime.  They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions, while they feast with YOU, having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children.  They have forsaken The Right Way, and gone astray, following the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man’s voice, restrained the madness of the prophet.  These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness, Forever.

For when they speak, great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped, from those who live in error.  While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.  For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the World, through The Knowledge of The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them, than the beginning.  For it would have been better for them, NOT to have known The Way of Righteousness, than having known it, to turn from The Holy Commandment delivered to them.  But it has happened to them, according to The True Proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

[2 Peter 2]

Seek Your True Father

Imagine being adopted, at birth, by a loving family.  As your adopted parents raise YOU, YOU can’t help, but feel something’s missing.  YOU can’t quite put your finger on it, but it stays in the back of your mind.  As YOU grow, YOU have loving parents, but the family, YOU were adopted from, keeps an eye on YOU.  Your Father, who allowed YOU to be adopted by this family, keeps His Loving Eyes on YOU, yearning for YOU to decide to seek Him.  He watches YOU closely, every decision YOU make, right or wrong.  He rejoices with YOU, in your triumphs, and hurts with YOU, in your despair.  He is within your reach, at any given point in time, all YOU must do, is seek Him.  YOU feel emptiness within YOU, but YOU just don’t know how to fill it.  Sometimes, YOU try to fill it, with positive things to the extreme, like work, physical exercise, education, and more.  Other times, YOU try to fill it, with negative things, like overeating, drugs, alcohol, sex, dangerous situations, and more.  YOU have heard the expression, YOU have a hole in your heart, that yearns to be filled, well, I can tell YOU, without a doubt, it’s true.  Now, YOU are probably asking, how do I fill this hole in my heart, what will truly fill my heart, and make it whole?  The answer to this question is truly within your own control.  Did YOU know that every single person, born in this World, has this same hole in their heart?  The answer YOU are seeking is God Almighty!  YOU were created by God Almighty, The Father, who watches over YOU, your entire lifetime.  God Almighty, places into each of our hearts, the desire to seek Him, many will, and unfortunately, many will not.  At the right time, in your Life, YOU will seek and find The Father, God Almighty.  Someone will be placed, in your Life path that will share with YOU The Truth, about God Almighty and His Only Son, The Lord Jesus Christ.  YOU will learn about God’s Amazing Saving Grace, through God’s Free Gift of Salvation.  The moment YOU accept Jesus Christ, as your personal Lord and Savior, several things will happen, simultaneously.  YOU will have eyes to see and ears to hear.  YOU will realize God, The Father, for who He truly is, and YOU will realize Jesus Christ, for who He is as well.  Most importantly, YOU will be welcomed into God’s Kingdom, and acknowledged, as one of The Children of God.  Suddenly, everything makes sense to YOU.  Why YOU felt the emptiness in your Life, why everything just didn’t seem quite right, why YOU always felt someone watching YOU!  YOU feel something wonderful washing over YOU, inside YOU, yes, changing YOU, from the inside out.  YOU feel like a new person, because YOU are.  YOU must let go the old YOU of living for yourself, and embraced a new YOU, living for your True Father, God Almighty.  Isn’t this the best feeling YOU have ever experienced in your Life.  God Almighty, The Creator of The Universe and The World, cares this much, about a single individual, YOU.  If YOU have experienced this in your Life, YOU know what I’m talking about, but if YOU haven’t, then we (YOU and I) have something to talk about.  Amen.

Jesus’ Disciples, Preach The Gospel Of Salvation

Peter (standing up with The Eleven) said, Men of Israel, hear these words, Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to YOU, by Miracles, Wonders, and Signs, which God did through Him in your midst, as YOU yourselves also know Him, being Delivered by The Determined Purpose and Foreknowledge of God, YOU have taken by lawless hands, have Crucified, and put to death; whom God Raised Up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.

Men and Brethren, let me speak freely to YOU of The Patriarch David, being a Prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an Oath to him, that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up The Christ to sit on his throne, he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning The Resurrection of The Christ, that His Soul was not left in Hades, nor did His Flesh see corruption.  This Jesus God has Raised Up, of which We are All Witnesses.  Therefore being Exalted to The Right Hand of God, and having Received from The Father, The Promise of The Holy Spirit, He poured out this which YOU now see and hear.  Therefore let All The House of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom YOU Crucified, both Lord and Christ.  Repent, and let every one of YOU be Baptized in The Name of Jesus Christ, for The Remission of sins; and YOU shall receive The Gift of The Holy Spirit.  Salvation is found is no other, for there is no other name under Heaven given among Men, by which We must be Saved.  For The Promise is to YOU and to your children, and to All who are afar off, as many as The Lord Our God, Will Call.  The God of Our Fathers, Raised up Jesus whom YOU murdered by hanging on a tree.  Him, God has Exalted to His Right Hand, to be Prince and Savior, to give Repentance to Israel and Forgiveness of sins.  And We are His Witnesses to these things, and so also is The Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.

In Truth, God shows no partiality, but in every Nation, whoever fears Him and Works Righteousness, is accepted by Him.  The Word, which God sent to The Children of Israel, Preaching Peace through Jesus Christ, He is Lord of All, that Word YOU know, which was Proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after The Baptism which John Preached, how God Anointed Jesus of Nazareth, with The Holy Spirit and with Power, Who went about doing Good and Healing All, who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.  And We are Witnesses of All Things which He did, both in The Land of The Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree.  Him, God Raised Up on The Third Day, and showed Him Openly, not to all the people, but to Witnesses Chosen before by God, even to Us, who ate and drank with Him, after He Arose from the dead.  And He Commanded Us, to Preach to the people, and to Testify that it is He, who was Ordained by God, to be Judge of The Living and the dead.  To Him All The Prophets Witness that, through His Name, whoever Believes in Him, will Receive Remission of sins.  While Peter was still speaking these words, The Holy Spirit fell upon All those who heard The Word.  And those of the circumcision who Believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because The Gift of The Holy Spirit, had been poured out on The Gentiles also.  Then I remembered The Word of The Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed Baptized with water, but YOU shall be Baptized with The Holy Spirit.’  If therefore, God gave them the same Gift, as He gave Us when We Believed on The Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?  When they heard these things, they Glorified God, saying, Then God has also granted to The Gentiles Repentance to Life.

Blessed be The God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant Mercy, has begotten Us again to a Living Hope through The Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in Heaven for YOU, who are kept by The Power of God through Faith for Salvation ready to be Revealed in The Last Time.  In this YOU greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, YOU have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your Faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to Praise, Honor, and Glory at The Revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen, YOU Love.  Though now YOU do not see Him, yet Believing, YOU rejoice with joy inexpressible and Full of Glory, receiving the end of your Faith, The Salvation of your Souls.  Of this Salvation The Prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who Prophesied of The Grace that would come to YOU, searching what, or what manner of time, The Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He Testified beforehand The Sufferings of Christ and The Glories that would follow.  To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to Us they were Ministering the things which now have been reported to YOU through those who have Preached The Gospel to YOU by The Holy Spirit sent from Heaven, things which Angels desire to look into.

Since YOU have Purified your Souls, in obeying The Truth through The Spirit, having been Born Again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through The Word of God which Lives, Abides, and Endures Forever.  Now this is The Word, which by The Gospel was Preached to YOU.  For We did not follow cunningly devised fables when We made known to YOU The Power and Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ, but were Eyewitnesses of His Majesty.  For He Received from God The Father, Honor and Glory, when such a Voice came to Him, from The Excellent Glory: “This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”  And We heard this Voice which came from Heaven, when We were with Him on The Holy Mountain.  And so We have The Prophetic Word Confirmed, which YOU do well to heed, as a Light that shines in a dark place, until The Day Dawns and The Morning Star Rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no Prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for Prophecy never came by the will of man, but Holy Men of God spoke, as they were moved by The Holy Spirit.  Beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with The Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  The Lord is not slack concerning His Promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward Us, not willing that any should perish but that All should come to Repentance.

By Faith, YOU Will Do Greater Works

Most assuredly, I say to YOU, he who Believes in Me

Do YOU realize, that Jesus is talking about YOU and me

The Works that I do, he will also do, again YOU and me

Christ is referring to His Future Disciples, YOU and me

Greater Works than these, he will do, since I go to My Father

Whatever YOU ask in My Name, I will do, that The Father

May be Glorified in The Son, speaking of God and Jesus

If YOU ask anything in My Name, I’ll do it, said Jesus

If YOU have Faith, the size of a mustard seed, YOU truly could

Say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it surely would

And if YOU have this Faith, YOU can say to this mulberry tree

Go be pulled up by your roots, and be planted into the Sea

It would obey YOU, nothing would be impossible for YOU

Do YOU have Faith, in God and Jesus, and in what They can do

With God Almighty and Jesus, nothing is impossible

The question for YOU is, are YOU ready, willing, and able

God created YOU, for detailed Good Works, only YOU can do

After YOU accept Jesus Christ, and He abides within YOU

Then through The Holy Spirit, Jesus will make His Presence known

With God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit, you’re not alone

The Works that I do, YOU will also do, Future Believers

Greater Works than these, YOU will do, again, Future Believers

I can’t speak for YOU, but I look forward to this happening

Remember, with God and Jesus, what’s possible, everything

Yes, Jesus Christ states this clearly, that YOU can do so much more

YOU Believe and have Faith in Jesus, what are YOU waiting for

The Power of God Almighty, and Jesus Christ, within YOU

You’re filled with The Holy Spirit, the next step is up to YOU
