God Bring Them In  

Show Notes

God HAS done a new thing and it has sprung forth. The Lord has now flipped the script and have changed my courses. I still have yet to walk on some territory in my present location. THE LORD has allowed me to remember that OUR MAIN PURPOSE is to fulfill Matthew 28; GO INTO ALL THE WORLD and preach the Gospel.

  We Focus On So Many Other Things Until We Forget About God...
  

  Giving honor to God for this hour and this opportunity. I was contemplating whether to do a segment or type this word out in a blog. All day long, I've been doing some heavy thinking. You know, we sometimes tend to get caught up in the world and day to day affairs. We tend to focus on our families, our jobs, activities, etc...but God tends to take a back seat in the life of many professing believers. We tend to push our agenda to the front and forget about God's will as though we have a right to tell him what we are to do. The bible is fulfilling itself every single day. I think about 2nd Timothy the 3rd chapter and see that the LOVE OF MANY is waxing cold. Men would rather worry about pleasing their flesh more than about whether their soul will have a place in heaven. Some in the church tend to sing famous hymns such as "When we ALL get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be, when we ALL see Jesus, we will sing and shout the victory;" we sing those hymns in ignorance because NOT EVERYONE is going to heaven. Although, OUR SAVIOR wish that none would perish and that all would come to repentance, THE SAD thing about it is that everyone won't choose eternal life, but if they don't CHOOSE, they can't say that "NO ONE DIDN'T tell me or no one was there to help lead me to Jesus." There will be no excuse. OUR SAVIOR has been WOOING many, but they CHOOSE to live a VAGABOND life style running from God as though they can outrun the one who's EYES are everywhere. He sees EVERYTHING that we do. He knows THE INTENTS of every man's hearts. We may think that we are fooling him when, but we only fool ourselves when we believe that we can live life just doing any and everything we feel like doing and never face consequences.
  
  
  Receiving material blessings doesn't mean that we are in righteous standing with God. OUR FATHER wants to GIVE US THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM that whatsoever we BIND on earth shall be BOUND in heaven and whatsoever we LOOSE on earth shall be LOOSED in heaven, and it's sad that many professing Christians believe that's SOLELY in terms of a name it and claim it life of material blessings while our SOULS are starving from lack of PROPER nutrition. We've left the hedge and now that it's showing up, we want to blame someone, but the truth of the matter is that we need to take full responsibility for OUR ACTIONS and for our sins so that we can RECEIVE forgiveness from our LORD AND Savior Jesus Christ.
  
  Saints, the world is not getting any better. Things are happening at break-neck speed. We should never take anything for granted. God's word is true and we must LIVE BY FAITH in order to see God move.
  
  
  The bible tells us in Philippians 4:4-9
  ⁴Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

   ⁵Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

   ⁶Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

   ⁷And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

   ⁸Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

   ⁹Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
  
  
  It's time to take our focus out of earthly things because they are ONLY TEMPORAL and they are swiftly passing away. Why not build our hope on things eternal. In order to inherit eternal life, IT TAKES so much more than what we've been giving. We must allow the Lord to open up our understanding so that we may not be SURPRISED on judgment day. May God bless each one of you.
  
  
  In Jesus name,
