July 16, 2010 So Who is your spouse?

"Hallelujah" For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready.

Good Friday, working in the fields of harvest for Jesus morning, my dear brothers and sisters. What a beauty God has given to us. For all He does for us, we need to be working for Him and also praying for all those who are really in the fields of harvest working to bring in the lost. Please keep all those who have churches assigned to them by God, and all those who travel to teach, preach, sing, and do all kinds of other things looking for the lost and getting them to the feet of Jesus to be saved by Him. Again I remind you that we cannot save the lost, only bring them in for Jesus. We are sort of like the ladies and gentlemen who work in the ambulances bringing in the sick and injured so a doctor can work on them.

So who is your spouse? Revelation 19:6/7 6 - Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: "Hallelujah" For our Lord God Almighty reigns. 7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready. (NIV)

So who is your spouse? Even if you were married before, even if you have had more than one wife, even if you have never been married, get ready, for we all, yes, even us men, we are going to be the bride, and our Lord Jesus is coming back for us. The Groom, Jesus, is coming for His church, His people, and we, the bride, if we are saved, of course, will be waiting upon our Lord, our Groom, for it will be time for the wedding. Are you ready folks, are you ready? I hope you are, I can't help but wonder just how I might look in a wedding gown. I am just kidding, of course. So what will it be like in heaven and who will be your spouse? Jesus will be the groom, and no piano or organ music, the sweet music will be that of the trumpet of the Lord... "Oh the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and time shall be no more". Hot dog, whoopieeeeeeee, I am excited about all of this. So what about your spouse from here on earth and maybe an X or two? Will we know them, yes, and our children and our friends, and that wife or husband, what about them? We will know them as family as the only marriage in Heaven will be between our Lord Jesus and we who are saved through him. And Jesus will be the groom.

Folks, I don't think this wedding is too far in the distance. While I am not going to waste my time trying to figure out when Jesus is coming back, I am going to put forth my energy in trying my very best to keep repenting of my sins and keeping myself clean before God and also getting the word out to others, example, working in the fields of Harvest.

Mark 16:15 - He (Jesus) said to them. "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation." (NIV)

Revelation 21:2 - "I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband." (NIV)

Luke 20:35 "But those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage." (NIV)

Even our new Jerusalem, where we will all live with God, if we are saved, will be ready as a Bride. In the scripture from Luke. and it is Jesus talking, it states "Those who are considered worthy". Let me translate that for you... Considered worthy = Born Again", "Saved", Washed in the Blood of Jesus". Now I made the statement I think it is not too far in the distance, and here is why I think it. Look all around America and see all the hate, see some now standing and saying that "crackers and cracker babies" should be killed, and others still referring to our black brothers and sisters as "ni--ers" and the hate goes on and on... We see all around us the gay community and those living in the sin of having sex with one of the same kind, men with men and women with women. We see just how many unborn babies are murdered, we see older folks taking advantage of kids, and you know what I mean by taking advantage of... and it goes on and on. We see children in other countries starving, so skinny that their ribs are showing all the time. People collect money and send it to those countries and most of it never gets there. COME ON BACK, JESUS, and end this mess. Your bride, or some of us, are ready, and we need to get to work on the others. Here is another good reason I think this event will be happening soon, because Jesus said it...

Revelation 22:7 - "Behold, I am coming soon!" 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." (NIV)
Revelation 22:16 - "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."

Are you ready, are you ready?

John 14:6 - Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. NO ONE comes to the Father except through me." (NIV)

We need to confess, repent, and then work for Jesus till the day we are called home. Hear me on this one... You never retire from spreading the good news. OK, let's close out today by praying a prayer of salvation. I cannot do this for you, this is an I prayer, not a we prayer. I will just lead you. Ok... let's do it.

Dear Lord, I believe in You, I believe in the Father, The Son and the Holy Ghost, I believe in the fact Jesus died for my sins and was risen from the dead and today I serve a risen Lord. Help me repent of my sins and work for You, Jesus. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Now go forth, and share your blessings, and if you are married here on earth, enjoy it now, and know that when we all get to heaven, it is just going to get better and better... and remember, here on earth that God should be heading up your household, then the man, then the woman. Love ya, Pastor Dan.
