As A New Year BEGINS . . .

Fellow Believers, As THIS Year Ends, And A New Year BEGINS; We MUST Look At Ourselves, And Our Walk With Jesus Christ (Ephesians 5:8-13; Colossians 1:9-17; And 1 John 1:7)!

Are We Walking GOD Almighty’s Path, i.e. The Path GOD Almighty Created, Specifically, For Each Of Us To Walk, BEFORE, We Were Even Born (Psalm 139:1-3, 13-16; Romans 8:29-30; And Ephesians 2:10)?  Are We Being The Spiritual Salt Of The Earth (Matthew 5:13a), Jesus Christ’s LIGHT, Upon A World Full Of Darkness (Matthew 5:14-16), Ambassadors For Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20-21), Good Soldiers Of Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 2:3-4), Servants Of THE LORD, Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 2:15, 24-26; And 2 Timothy 4:1-2), AND Children Of GOD Almighty (John 1:12-13; John 3:5-8; And Romans 8:14-17), etc.?

After All, We Were BORN AGAIN, THROUGH The Holy Spirit (John 3:5-8; And Romans 10:8-10), AND The Holy Spirit Teaches Us, Daily (John 14:15-17, 26; John 16:13-15; 2 Corinthians 2:9-10a, 12-13, 15-16; And 1 John 2:20, 24-25, 27-28), AND We Were SEALED, With The Holy Spirit, WHO IS, OUR GUARANTEE Of EVERLASTING LIFE (2 Corinthians 1:21-22; 2 Corinthians 5:5; And Ephesians 1:13-14)!

EVERLASTING LIFE – IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, And All The Rest Of The Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER (John 3:16-17; John 5:24; John 6:27, 40, 47; Romans 5:15-21; Romans 6:22-23; Titus 3:4-8, 1 John 2:24-25, 1 John 5:6-13, 19-20; Jude 1:20-21; Revelation 21:1-27; And Revelation 22:1-5)!

Knowing THIS, That Jesus Christ IS: The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith (Hebrews 5:9; And Hebrews 12:1-2), The Anchor Of Our Soul (Hebrews 6:19-20), The ONLY Mediator, Between Us And GOD Almighty (1 Timothy 2:3-6), AND THE Mediator Of The New Covenant (Hebrews 8:6; Hebrews 9:11-15; And Hebrews 12:22-24)!

We Are Jesus Christ’s SHEEP, And We ABIDE IN HIM, FOREVER; And NO One Can Snatch Us, From HIS Hand, NOR From GOD Almighty’s Hand (John 10:27-30; John 15:1-5, 8; And Romans 8:35, 37-39)!

We Are Brothers And Sisters Of Jesus Christ (Romans 8:14-17, 28-30; Galatians 3:26-29; Galatians 4:6-7; And Hebrews 2:10-18)!

We Are GOD Almighty’s Workmanship, And We Were Created For Good Works, GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us (Romans 8:29-30; Ephesians 1:3-10, 13-15; Ephesians 2:8-10; Philippians 2:13; Titus 2:11-15; And 1 Peter 2:11-12).

Fellow Believers, As Jesus Christ’s LIGHT, AND Children Of GOD Almighty, We Have Each Been Given, A Unique Combination Of Spiritual Gifts (Romans 12:3-8; And Ephesians 4:7-16), In Order To Perform, The Good Works, Which GOD Almighty Has Prepared For Us!  After All, Serving GOD Almighty IS Our FIRST Priority, Period!

When We Meet And See Jesus, Face-To-Face, At The Being Caught Up Together (1 Corinthians 13:11-12; 1 Corinthians 15:51-53; 2 Corinthians 3:16-18; And 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18), HE Will NOT Be Asking Us, About Earthly Things, Like Our Houses, Cars, Vacations, Bank Accounts, etc.; BUT, HE Will Be Asking Us, About Heavenly Things; Meaning, Did We Share The Gospel Of Jesus Christ With Others; Did We Live Our Lives, As A Testimony, To GOD Almighty AND Jesus Christ (Publicly, As Well As, Privately); AND Did We Use Our Spiritual Gifts, For HIS GLORY And NOT Our Own!  In Other Words, Jesus Will Be Asking, Each Of Us, What Did We Do, With The Talents (The Spiritual Gifts), HE GAVE Us!

Folks, IF The Being Caught Up Together OCCURRED, IN The Next Millisecond, And YOU Found Yourself, Standing Before THE LORD, Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:9-11); Are YOU Prepared, To Give An Account For Your Life; Are YOU Prepared, To Answer, For All The Good Works, YOU FAILED To Perform?

Do NOT Worry, YOU Will NOT Be Punished, For THIS Failure; BUT, YOU May Be Told, What Heavenly Reward, YOU Lost Out On Receiving, Because Of IT!

ON THE BLESSED SIDE, YOU Will Receive, All The Heavenly Rewards, For The Good Works, YOU Did Perform (Matthew 6:19-21; 1 Corinthians 9:24-25; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18; Colossians 3:1-4, 23-24; 2 Timothy 4:7-8; Hebrews 12:1-2; James 1:12; And 1 Peter 5:4)!

Fellow Believers, As We Enter THIS New Year, May I Ask, Each Of YOU; Are YOU Living Your Life, SOLELY, For Serving GOD Almighty AND Jesus Christ (Matthew 16:24-25; Mark 8:34-35; And Luke 9:23-24)?  Are Your Eyes Set On Things Above (Matthew 6:19-21; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18; And Colossians 3:1-4)?  IS GOD Almighty, TRULY, Your FIRST Priority?  Do YOU Realize That The Being Caught Up Together IS IMMINENT; Meaning, IT Can Happen, At ANY Millisecond NOW (Matthew 24:36; Mark 13:32-33, 35-37; Luke 12:35-38, 40; And Luke 17:33-37)?

Folks, Our Lives, IN THIS Body (The Natural Body), IS Temporary (2 Corinthians 4:16-18; 2 Corinthians 5:1-8; And James 4:14); BUT, The Life, We Are About To Enter, IN The Spiritual Body, IS FOR ETERNITY (1 Corinthians 15: 39, 44b-49, 51-53; 2 Corinthians 5:1-8; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; And 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11); AND We MUST Prepare Ourselves, Especially, Our Mindset, For THIS Transition!

Fellow Believers, I Believe We All Want To Hear, Jesus Say To Us, “Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant; Come, YOU BLESSED Of MY FATHER (GOD Almighty), Inherit THE KINGDOM Of GOD Almighty, PREPARED FOR YOU, From The Foundation Of The World!”

Therefore, We Need To Walk GOD Almighty’s Path, And We Need To Be Found, Going About THE FATHER’S BUSINESS, Which IS, Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ; We MUST Encourage Others, To Acknowledge GOD Almighty's Amazing Saving GRACE And Accept GOD Almighty's FREE GIFT Of SALVATION, Which COMES ONLY, THROUGH Jesus Christ!

Please, Live Your Life, NOW, As A Testimony, To GOD Almighty AND Jesus Christ; Keeping GOD Almighty, As Your FIRST Priority; Finish The Race (1 Corinthians 9:24-25; 2 Timothy 4:7-8; And Hebrews 12:1-2); With THE HOPE Of EVERLASTING LIFE (Ephesians 4:4-6; Titus 2:11-15; Titus 3:4-7; Hebrews 6:19-20; Hebrews 10:19-25; Hebrews 11:1; And 1 Peter 1:3-5, 13); AND Keeping Your Eyes On THE PRIZE – EVERLASTING LIFE – IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, And All The Rest Of The Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER!

Fellow Believers, Until The Being Caught Up Together OCCURS . . .

Remember, Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit; Therefore, Jesus Christ WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit TEACHES Us, And Most Importantly, GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Us, Always!

Wherever YOU Are, Wherever YOU Go, Whatever YOU Do; Be It, In The Natural Physical World, OR In Cyber World; May OUR LORD Jesus Christ, Find YOU, Going About THE FATHER’S BUSINESS, Which IS, Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, As A Good And Faithful Servant!  Amen.
