Friday: Faith, Hope, Love 5

"Greater Love has no one than this"!

Good Morning, my dear brothers and sisters. Today is going to be a beautiful day here at the Southern Location and for us, I know it is going to be beautiful for God made it. Take that Satan, and know we on this line Love our Lord God. Today we are going to pray for all those who work for Jesus. All of you who work for Jesus... which means all of us on the line, RIGHT? You are working for Jesus in some way, right? Also please stop and pray right now for there has been a Coast Guard Plane and an Army Chopper that hit each other and went down. Pray for those who survived and pray for the search to find them. Both of the Air Craft had on board people working for our security. And it fits today's message about Love... "Greater Love has no one than this"!

Dear Father in Heaven. Please be on the site of the Aircraft that went down on our West Coast. Lord, let there be survivors and please help the others find them and keep the search and rescue parties safe. Be with families of this accident. Oh, God, I pray also today for those who are working in Your fields of Harvest and pray You open doors for us. Lord, thanks for the extra families this year and for all the help that is coming in. Lord, only with Your help can we feed the hungry and poor. Oh Lord, please bless them. Lord, be with Mark and with LeaAnne and others as they seek out jobs. Lord, please help the printing presses of money in America break down and those who are printing all the extra money and putting us in debt come to You knowing full well You will work it out. Five loaves and two fish and you feed thousands and only by You, Lord, will our jobs come back. Help us, Lord, but first may we humble to You. On our knees, Lord, we will come back... but only if we come to You. Lord, please bless Vicki, and Lord, in the name of Jesus, Heal her. All the glory and honor is now and will be given to You. I love You, Jesus, and I pray in Your wonderful and Holy Name... Amen.

John 15: 13 - "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." (NIV)

Let's pause right now and say thank you to those of our military who laid down their lives for our country, and that means laid down their lives for us. This including those who were on those aircraft last night on our West Coast. Each day thousands upon thousands of fine men and women go forth WILLING to lay down their lives for us. Each day our fine men and women in the Navy, Army, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines and all of the National Guard units. And all of our Police Officers. I just went through the Pennsylvania State Police Citizens program and found out what our fine Pennsylvania State Police do and they have that "No greater love" because they are willing to lay down their lives. Our local police... the next time you see a man or woman in uniform, take time to thank them. Extend a hand to them and shake it and tell them you pray for them and that you love them. At the State Police Academy there was a class of REAL cadets going through training. I was blessed to be able to shake a few hands and just grab a hold of them and pray for them. Now my brothers and sisters please look at this...

Romans 5:6 - You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ DIED for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, CHRIST DIED FOR US. (NIV)

And this is worth repeating over and over again.

John 15: 13 - "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." (NIV)
John 15: 13 - "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." (NIV)
John 15: 13 - "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." (NIV)

No greater Love has been shown for us than those willing to lay down their lives to keep us safe and free, free as a nation... and no greater love has been shown by anyone other than our Lord Jesus that laid down His life for our sins. Listen to this, He created us, He saved all those who came to Him, He will save all those who come to Him. And for those of us who come, He will someday COME BACK FOR US. NO GREATER LOVE has been shown for us than our Lord who went to the cross for us and died for us, even before we were born. JESUS DIED FOR YOU AND FOR ME. Jesus knew us when we were on the cross, He knew us even before we were in the womb.

Now my dear brothers and sisters... I know all of you would lay down your lives for your child or grandchild. So I will ask you this... Are you willing to lay down your life for others and for Jesus? If you are asked by a nonbeliever who is holding a gun to your head... Do you love Jesus? What would you say? Would you lay down your life for Jesus as He laid down His life for You? Brothers and sisters, I pray I would have the nerve and courage to put my life on the line for you and for Jesus. I pray none of us are called to that, but Lord, please help us to be strong and ready and willing.

Dear Father in Heaven, thanks for Jesus who laid down His life for me. Help us stand ready to lay down our lives for others and for You if called on. Help us, Lord. In the name of Jesus...

Now go forth sharing those blessings, and special thanks for those sharing them with Carry The Light Ministries. Love ya, dan.
