Psalms 122:1 I was glad when they said, Let us go into the House of the Lord
Psalm 133:1 How good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.
Isaiah 1:18 Come now and let us reason together, saith the Lord
Isaiah 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come Ye, and let us go up the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, and He will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.
When I received a text from Bruce about a week ago, he said what was placed on his heart was for me and Brother to bring the Word.
The first thing I thought was, Lord, what can I say to the people? Then it came to me, and I heard, I have already given you a Word. So this is the Word that I want to share with you today. I am asking you a question, “Are You Ready?”
Let us Pray….
For decades we have heard and been told we are in the last days. Prophecies have been fulfilled. We see earthquakes in many places around the world, wars throughout the globe, men becoming lovers of themselves (not wanting to help the people but to make themselves rich and powerful). Oh yes, the signs are here. Yet we pass it off like Oh well and sometimes don’t even give it a thought.
We are witnessing death on a frequent scale. Back in the day, there were funerals, but not like it is today, both the young and old. We prosper in life far better than our ancestors, yet with all that we have, many are not fulfilled. Why. I would surmise that the material things can’t replace the Love of God in our hearts. There’s not enough alcohol, drugs, money, sex, or anything else to give us that the joy of the Lord provides. Yes, time is winding up. Are You Ready?
Turn with me to 2 Timothy 4:1, and it reads I charge you before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall Judge the quick and the Dead at his appearing and His Kingdom. Preach the Word: be in season ( When things in life are good)🎶 “This is my season for grace and favor, this is my season to reap what I have sown”🎶 or out of Season 🎶I’ve had some good days, I’ve had some hills to climb, I’ve had some weary days and some sleepless nights. But when I look around and think things over, all of my good days outweigh the bad days; I won’t complain🎶
Are You Ready
Yes, God has been good to me and not to me only. The Word of God says He has no respect of persons. When He has given you health, given you houses, given you success, most importantly, given you salvation with eternal life. He says, Don’t forget me, don’t forget my Commandment, my Statutes, my Judgement. Don’t forget that I gave my only begotten Son that you may have life and it more abundantly. Don’t be like the rich man; turn with me to Luke 12: 16-20, let’s read…
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided
Are You Ready
What is our life but a vapor, a mist? We shall be changed in the twinkle of the eye.
Are You Ready
Have you dedicated your life to Jesus? We don’t know the moment when we will take our last breath. Are you sure your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life? Where will your soul spend eternity?
Today is the day that you can be sure. If you have not made assurance of this, do it now. We pay for car insurance, house insurance, and we pay for what we think is life insurance, but without Jesus as your Savior, there is no life. The cost of eternal life is salvation, and it is free to those who choose it.
Are You Ready
Closing
Hebrews 13:20 KJV
Now Beloved, may the God of Peace that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the Great Shepherd of the Sheep, through the Blood of Everlasting Covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His Will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be Glory forever and ever. Amen
