Friday: Promises (5)

"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."

Good Morning, my dear brothers and sisters. It is Friday and the day we pray for all who go into the Fields and work for our Lord Jesus. Brothers and sisters, this was and still is a commandment from our Lord Jesus. Mark 16: 15 - He (Jesus) said to them, (us) "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation." (NIV) Once again I tell you this does not say, if you have time go, or if you want to go. Jesus has laid down another commandment for all of us. Since He was willing to die for us, since He heals us when we are sick, since He supplies our needs, don't you think we should listen to Him on this one and get off of our lazy backsides and go to work for Jesus?

So pray today for all those workers and if you are not one of them, pray that you get moving. Be a witness for our Lord Jesus. A lot of people laugh at the JW's as they go neighborhood to neighborhood, but are they not doing just what Jesus has commandment us to do? When was the last time your church worked the neighborhood around the church? In my opinion, a lot of the big inner-city churches failed because they would not go work the changing neighborhoods.

Promises (5) - This has been a great week of writing, for the Bible is full of promises that were made to us by our Father in Heaven and by Jesus when He was here on earth. I have written about them all week and I have just touched on it. But I want to wrap it up today, so pardon me if I am about five feet above my chair as I type this ... This to me is the greatest promise ever made by anyone, at anytime or at anyplace. JESUS IS COMING BACK!!!!! The promise has been made by Jesus Himself, do you remember when I told you about this promise the other day?

John 14: 1 - "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, Trust also in me. 2 In my Fathers house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." (NIV)

Revelation 22: 7 - "Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of prophecy in this book." (NIV)

Revelation 22: 12 - "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, The First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. 14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city." (NIV)

1 Thessalonians 4: 16 - For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. AND SO WE WILL BE WITH THE LORD FOREVER. (NIV)

Brothers and sisters, do you hear this promise, Jesus said He is coming back for us, He has gone ahead to prepare the place for us and HE IS COMING BACK ... I SAID HE IS COMING BACK. Are you ready if it happens today, are you really ready, have you been living for Jesus or are you playing games about it? I was there, I did that, you know the Sunday Christian thing. A real Christian follows Jesus all the time, not for one hour like a "goodie two shoe" on just Sunday Morning. And some who go for the hour, sleep through the message. This great promise is coming and I believe coming real soon. God was tired of all the sin and He flooded the earth with water, He will never do it again. He sent Jesus to die for our sins, and it seems to me there are a lot of people that just do not believe it. In the United States of America we are killing babies that are in the womb each day. Our drinking habits have taken many lives in car crashes, our way of life and speed on the roads take more. And now we elect a man president who believes in abortion, in gay marriage, and sat in a church where the pastor damned the Lord ... yes, we need to pray for this president but we do not need to like what he stands for. We need to be praying for him to come to Jesus, for then we would see the change he has promised. We see in our country not just the killings and all those things, we see greed, people buying things and walking away for the bill, charging things and not paying them ... we see kids going to schools of higher education to be taught trash ...

WAKE UP AMERICA, FOR JESUS IS GOING TO FULFILL THE PROMISE HE MADE WHEN HE SAID "I AM COMING BACK". Wake up America, and come to Jesus. Wake up, you who follow Christ, for we have a job to get done before Jesus does come back. Wake your town and tell the peopl. Get out in the fields of Harvest and tell the world. When you talk to your neighbor, ask them, do you know Jesus is coming back? And tell them about the great promise also of Salvation through Jesus. JESUS IS COMING BACK. The dead in Christ, those who loved Jesus and have died, will be risen from the cold grave, and the ones who love Jesus and remain alive will be taken straight to heaven. It is a promise from God, not from me. I am just a messenger today, I am just telling you the way I see it and the way God is giving it to me today. Come on folks, this is a promise of God. Jesus is alive and well and waiting for the day when God the Father sends Him back. Even Jesus does not know when, but He is coming. JESUS IS COMING, I SAID JESUS IS COMING BACK ... Wow, will someone just shout AMEN?

Will you go to prayer with me now asking God to wash you clean today, come to Jesus or renew with Jesus, and be sure you are ready for the day He comes back, or are you going to wash away another chance to get tight with Jesus? He is coming back for believers not doubters, He is coming back for His, not all will make it. Come on folks, I beg you today, come to Christ, or come back to Christ. Been backsliding, get back on track today, get back with Jesus right now ... will you ... not for me, but for your own soul. Will you pray with me right now, right this very minute ...

Dear Father in Heaven, forgive me of my sins and get me ready for the day that You send Jesus back for us. Lord, Father of us all, put us to work for You right now so we can tell others of Your saving grace and Your promise to return for us. Save me now Lord. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Now go forth, sharing the Love of Jesus. And if you don't think I am excited about preaching this message on promise this week, you think again. I am walking about five feet off the floor right now. Jesus made a promise that He is coming back, will you share it with someone today?. That's what I am talking about, you can share your food, you can share your dollars, you can share lots of stuff, but today, SHARE JESUS. Your rewards are coming soon, coming when Jesus comes back ... coming the day when He brings forth this promise ... I AM COMING BACK.
Love ya, dan.
