April 30, 2010 Great Promises 5

"In my Father's house are many rooms."

Good Friday Morning, my dear brothers and sisters. It is Friday and the day we pray for all those who go out into Fields of Harvest working for our Lord Jesus. This last day in April 2010 looks like it is going to perfect here at the Southern Location of the North Pole... THANK YOU JESUS!

Great Promises 5: John 14: 1/3 - "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. 2 In my Father's 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 with me that you also may be where I am." (NIV)

At The Bridges a lot of those who lost loved ones have come up with this saying, coined by Mr. William Sanders on the passing of his wife Ruth. William said this, "She's in the Mansion."
Since that time I have heard over and over again people talking about their "late" loved ones being in the Mansion. How be we do a little singing this day as we sing this wonderful hymn.

I'm satisfied with just a cottage below, a little silver, and a little gold. But in that city, where the ransomed will shine, I want a gold one that's silver lined... "I've got a mansion just over the hilltop, In that bright land where we'll never grow old. And someday yonder we will never more wander, but walk on streets that are purest gold."

Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely, I'm not discouraged, I'm heaven bound. I'm just a pilgrim in search of that city, I want a MANSION, a harp and a crown. "I've got a mansion just over the hilltop, In that bright land where we'll never grow old. And some day yonder we will never more wander, but walk on streets that are purest gold."

Yes... "I've got a mansion just over the hilltop, In that bright land where we'll never grow old. And some day yonder we will never more wander, but walk on streets that are purest gold."

Another great promise of God is a place for us to go, where we will be with Him someday. All of us, if you are reading this, have a mansion here on earth, yes, a mansion, a home, apartment, trailer, a roof over your head... I love our home. I want you to remember this, you CANNOT buy a home, you buy a house and then you move in your family and you make it into a home when you invite in Jesus. No Jesus, no home. Anyone want to put an Amen on that one? Our mansion here on earth has two bedrooms, a great room, a year round out porch where the computers are, and a full basement that is where the food pantry is located. This sits on two acres of land which we call The Southern Location of the North Pole. Dolores and I love our place and give thanks for it daily. But we have seen nothing yet... wait till we get to the mansion and the good part about it... WE WILL SEE JESUS. Not just in our hearts, but face to face... Another great promise of God, A MANSION OVER THE HILLTOP.

Dear Father in Heaven, I am really satisfied with my mansion here on the earth, but look forward to living with You in our Mansion in Heaven. Lord, forgive us of our sins this day and bless all those who are working Your fields bringing in the lost to you. In the name of Jesus, I give thanks for trusting in us to work for you... Amen.

Now go forth sharing your blessings, helping others and walking in the footsteps of Jesus. Love ya, Pastor Dan.
