Friday: It's a fact!!

"But unless you repent, you too will perish."

And that is a fact, my dear brothers and sisters, and if were not true, Jesus would not have said it.

It is Friday and wow did it rain last night. About midnight I went to Lowes to buy lumber for an ark. Just kidding, but we did have some rain. In our area nearly three inches and above us in Perry County some areas had four inches. Oh and while I am talking the weather here, which God is in control of, did you see the names of the storms of this year? Yes, check out that number 4 storm and hang on. It is to be called "Danny". Hey let me get back to business, it is Friday and the day we pray for all of those who are working the fields of harvest for our Lord Jesus.

It's a fact! Once again I want to point out to you that I believe with all my heart everything that is recorded in my Bible. I do not pick and choose, I do not say this is ok and this is not. I believe it all, and I hope you do also. Today I ask that you would take the time to read Luke 13: 1/9 and in there you will find this ... Luke 13: 5 "I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will perish." (NIV)

From Luke 13: 4 "A voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him. (NIV) Matthew 3: 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. (NIV) Matthew 4: 17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of Heaven is near." (NIV)

My dear friends, I want to make this as clear as I can. We need to take Jesus as our Savior, we need to ask to be forgiven of our sins, and we need to repent of those sins. In life we make a lot of choices, we make good ones, fair ones, poor ones, and some out and out rotten ones. Over the years we, if we have worked hard, can overcome those that were not good and turn them around, sometimes it means starting over. And yes, coming to Jesus for me was after making some bad choices in life. But one choice that you can't do over is if you pass from this earth before you repent and come to Christ. You have a choice on this one. Pick Jesus and go to heaven, pick evil and walk away for Jesus and GO TO HELL. Can I make it any clearer? Where do you want to spend all of eternity? It is your choice ... do you want to go to Heaven? Or do you want to go to Hell? I made my choice and while still a sinner I am going to do my best to repent. We as humans will still make mistakes, we will mess up, but we have a loving Jesus who is in the forgiving business. He will hold us, he will hug us, and He will take care of us, if we just accept Him as our Savior. No one else, just Jesus.

So for those of us who are saved, we have a job to do working to spread the word of our Lord Jesus, to tell the people of the world what needs done to be saved. We need to spread His word, and folks, before you can spread His word, you must believe it yourself. Do you believe it today? Believe it all? It is a fact!! HEAVEN OR HELL IS YOUR CHOICE.

Dear Father in Heaven, please forgive me of my sins, wash me clean and book me for Heaven today. I want to repent of my sins and I know I need Your help for this. Help me in the name of Jesus. Then Lord, after my act is together, help me to spread Your word to others, to tell the good news to all. In the name of Jesus, I ask for Your protection to all who are working Your fields of Harvest, and I ask it in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Repent or Perish, come to Jesus, and share those blessings from Him. Have a great weekend ... Love ya, dan.
