May 10, 2010 Great Promises 11

There is a time for everything!

Good Monday, pray for our troops day, dear brothers and sisters. Saturday I was so blessed to be on our Capitol steps in Harrisburg Pa and give the invocation and benediction for the annual support our troops rally. I was honored to be able to take just a minute and tell about the Lord's Trumpet that will sound someday, I did this just after taps was played to close the event. God is good. Please take time to pray today for our veterans, and please remember we have disabled veterans who are just 18 years old and they do need our prayers and our feet put on our prayers. Please remember to pray for our president and pray first for his salvation and then that he brings things to our Father through Jesus before he brings things to the public. Also pray for all others who work to keep us safe and healthy.

Great Promises 11: Ecclesiastes 3:1 - There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven. 2 A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot. (NIV)

Brothers and sisters, if you read through these verses in Ecclesiastes you will see many promises from God. I must confess to you when I started writing about great promises I never dreamed that God would open so many of them to me. I thought maybe at the most it would be a two or three day topic or series and here I am in the third week and finding more and more. I could write for a week or maybe even two on just the promises in Ecclesiastes 3 starting with verse one. Let's take a few minutes and look at just some of them. And they are promises, my friends, and most of us have seen them carried out. There are some we should really learn from like this one...

"A time to be silent and a time to speak." Well golly, God put that one right in my face. I have trouble with the being silent part. I have trouble with this one also and I am not alone on it. Are you a clutter person? "A time to keep and a time to throw away." Some of those are more telling us what to do than a great promises, but look at these and again I will go back to the scripture of the day...

Ecclesiastes 3:1 - There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven. 2 A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot. (NIV)

This coming Sunday I will turn 69, where did the years go? I know that there are more years behind me than out in front. What was the longest year of my life? Between 15 and 16 when I was waiting for that driver's license. What one went the fastest? All of the rest of them since high school...

Yes, there is a time to be born and a time to die... a time to plant and a time to harvest. It is all in God's plans for us, it is all part of the promises of God. Here is a another great promise of God and let me lead into it by a question. In the end who will be judged by God? Do you think that there are people out there that have been so good they will not be judged? Read this promise of God -

Ecclesiastes 3: 17 - "God will bring to judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time for every deed." (NIV)

Tomorrow I want to write about those two words that scare many people... "BORN AGAIN". Have you ever had someone come to you and ask this question, Are you one of those "Born Again Christians"? Folks, if you want to get into heaven, you better be one of those "Born Again Christians", for that must be done to get in... Born Twice... Read about it tomorrow.

This just in on the news. In some nursing homes and retirement homes that receive government assistance they are now telling the seniors that they CANNOT PRAY before the meal. Why, because the government had to do something with the food? NO FOLKS, GOD FURNISHED THE FOOD, NOT OUR GOVERNMENT. Our government never grew food. Folks, if you hear of one of these homes, let me know for I WILL GO THERE AND PRAY. And remember this folks, no one, no one, I said, NO ONE can stop you from praying. GOD'S LINE IS ALWAYS OPEN... TRY IT RIGHT NOW WITH ME.

Dear Father in Heaven... How are You? We are fine, thanks to You, we have had something to eat, we have a house, we have electric, and yes, if the people are praying with me now they even have a computer. With this tool, Lord, we hope to reach more and more people for You. Help us this day with that. Lord, help us know that our governments of the world are not in control, You and only You are. Help us to spread that word. And Lord, I pray for our President that he might fall face down and come to You, he will fall in love with You so much that he can't stop talking about You. Lord, protect our country and our military, and please Lord, we pray for peace today asking that Your Trumpet is sounded and You return... Love ya, Lord, and pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Go forth and today as you count your blessings and SHARE THEM, also count the promises of God... How many will you deal with today? Hey, love all of you... Pastor Dan.
