Wed. Mar. 14, 2012 Signs 3

And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons, and days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, and it was so. God made two great lights, the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.

Salvation Wednesday, Salvation Wednesday, tell someone about Jesus so they may be saved. Let's go to prayer first today, first asking God to clean us up, even we who are saved, need cleaning, and yes I said we, for we is just me with the first letter upside down. Of course we also has you in there also. Then we will also pray for God to use us to get folks to His feet to be saved.

Dear Father in Heaven, thanks for waking us another day, and Lord, help us to repent and work for You starting first thing and not stopping. Lord, forgive me of my sins, for I am indeed a sinner needing Your saving grace. Help me repent and turn from sin and evil. And Lord, please use me, use us to help bring in the lost and hurting who need You so much. Lord, we do not just need You to get us into Heaven, we need You to walk with us daily, and Lord, I love being in Love with You and others. Thank You for removing hate from my life, and helping me to love all people. Lord, help me and others who are saved to get that good news, that love out to the others. Help us to not just talk the talk but to walk the walk with You. Lord, please be with Pastor Larry and thanks for bringing him through the surgery and now, Lord, please rest him and heal him so he can come back soon and be with his flock... Be with the others on the prayer lists. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.

March 14, 2012 "Signs 3" Genesis 1:14 - And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, 15 and let them serve as signs to mark seasons, and days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, and it was so. 16 God made two great lights, the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. (NIV)

Brothers and sisters, if I am going to get the word out to you about signs from God I must also get a few of man's signs out to you. Let me talk to you this day about one of those signs. It is called a stop sign, and do you know that a lot of people do not know what they mean? A stop sign means you are to stop!!! No kidding!!! You are to stop!!! I can sit at the end of my driveway and look down the street to the corner where those coming down our street have a stop sign looking at them. I could count the cars that do not stop, they look to the left as they turn to the right and slow down, some almost stop, but a lot do keep those wheels turning. Now as you know, I like to back up what I write with scripture. So here goes... Please turn to the book of Titus 3:1 - Remind the people to be subject to the rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good. (NIV)

Our rulers, or officials, made the traffic laws, and our authorities, police, local sheriff, etc., enforce those laws and we should be respecting those laws and living by them. Next year General Motors is making a car designed for Christians. More than likely it will carry the Cadillac name badge. If the speed limit is, say, 65, the car camera will pick up that speed sign and set the equipment into action. When you go over the speed limit a voice will remind you by saying, "repent, sinner." Once you go past 70 it will repeat it louder REPENT, SINNER, YOU ARE SINNING BY SPEEDING. When you pass 75, a big strong voice comes on speaking these words... THIS IS GOD SPEAKING, I WILL SEE YOU REAL SOON!! Of course I am joking a tad here, but folks, if you want to disobey those signs and break man-made laws you really are sinning, you really are, because God has told us to obey "His" commands and one of those commands is to obey the authorities.

Ok, let's get back to some of God's signs. What bigger and brighter sign do we have from God but the sun, the only bigger and brighter sign is Jesus and we will talk more and more about Him as we get nearer and nearer to the events of the Easter season. And to quote Mr. Buck Rambo who sings this song, "who hung the moon?" And what a sign it is when we see that big, big full moon that just looks like it was just hung there in the sky. And all those stars, and yes, they are signs and all of these stars do point directions. You do remember that one star that was a sign that God placed in the sky for all to follow to the birthplace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Yes, folks, we have a lot of signs that God has made for us, a lot of them. Today a sign is going to be at our home and more than likely yours, a sign of a really nice day, the sun out, no rain, a sign we can do some yard work. Tomorrow, more signs.

Will some of you tell me of a sign that has been put in your life, and then support it with scripture? Yes, men, your wife getting out the rolling pin without getting out any of the other things to roll out pie crusts, etc., just might be a sign she is upset with you... (kidding)

Dear Father in Heaven, please help us through this day and may we each walk in Your steps and walk in Your light and work for You. In the name of Jesus I also ask that You act upon our prayer requests for health and healing, and please remember Pastor Larry and Pastor Kevin and all others on our prayer request lists, and please act on them according to Your will for us. In the name of Jesus I pray thousands of people come to You this spring, I pray a good spring harvest for You. In the name of Jesus I pray.   Amen.

Now go forth walking with Jesus and trying your very best to please Him. And yes, please consider sharing your blessings. I love ya. Pastor Dan.
