Our Father Whom Art In Heaven: How I love Your Name, dear Lord, it is so special to me. Lord, I pray for Your return to bring peace over this world. Lord, help me follow the commandments in the Bible and also the things You place on my mind to get done for You, and Lord, may I do them according to Your will. Lord, may I work really hard on this earth to help make it like it will be in heaven someday. Lord, I give thanks this day for our food, that I am sure You will be sending our way. Thank You, Lord, for the air I breathe also, and for all the other things You have furnished for us. Dear Father, please forgive me of my sins against You and also against my brothers and sisters right here on earth. And dear Father, help me to forgive those who I think have trespassed against me. Lord, please keep me way from being tempted by earthly things and also from the things Satan throws at me or in front of me as I want to walk each day with You. Lord, wash me clean with the blood of Jesus as You deliver me from evil each day. This, Lord, this United States of America, this state, Pennsylvania, our township, Silver Spring Township, are all part of Your Kingdom, dear Father, and so is our home here on Dewalt Drive. Yes, Lord,our home, our family, our ministry team, all those who follow the Ministries of Carry The Light, are indeed part of Your Kingdom. And Lord, all The Power and The Glory for all things good I will give to You forever and ever. In Jesus' Name I will do this. So be it. Amen.
Our Father Whom Art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the glory forever. Amen.
Good Salvation Wednesday, my dear brothers and sisters. Yes, I missed Tuesday, as I was out running around in the rain, then I went to the store to purchase more turkeys for our Christmas distribution. This looks to be our biggest Christmas food distribution ever. All of our regulars are coming plus many new families who have been referred to us by Cumberland Valley, Carlisle, and a few other school districts. We have now confirmed over 70 families who are coming on December 14th between 9:00 AM and noon. And wait until you see what they will be receiving. God has been so very good to our, no, God's food pantry. I am so excited, and folks, we have not put a cut-off number on those who are calling for food. The only thing we really need right now are some turkeys. Yesterday Giant would only let me purchase 10 at their advertised price, which is 9 more than they advertised to do. God is good, and I know we will either have turkeys or hams to give the folks.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and today is Wednesday and on this line it is Salvation Wednesday. Brothers and sisters, the thing in life that I am most thankful for is my personal Salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. Tomorrow I would like to list things that our brothers and sisters of this line are thankful for. So here is a tad of homework for you. Please take a few seconds and send me your "I am thankful for" list.
Reminder that old Santa, Mrs. Claus, a couple of elves, and one of Santa's spies will be in Santa's House on "Black Friday" and also Saturday from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM each day. Bring your little ones, folks, or just come yourself and see how we put the true message of Christmas out through one of the tools given to me ... "Santa." And those children 11 and under will get some very nice things. Not junk, folks, but nice things. So we hope to see you on Friday or Saturday, and please bring your camera to take all the pictures you want to take.
Now let me get to my best blessing and it should be yours also. SALVATION!!
Salvation Wednesday: November 27, 2013, Salvation, our very best blessing.
Exodus 15:2 - The Lord is my strength and my song; He has become my Salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my Father's God, and I will exalt Him. (NIV)
Psalm 118:14 - The Lord is my strength and my song; He has become my Salvation. (NIV)
Isaiah 12:1 - In that day you will say, "I will praise You; O Lord. Although You were angry with me, Your anger has turned away and You have comforted me. 2 Surely God is my Salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, The Lord is my strength and my song; He has become my Salvation. (NIV)
Luke 19:8 - But Zacchaeus stood up and said to The Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount." 9 Jesus said to him, "Today Salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham: 10 For the Sonof Man came to seek and to save what was lost." (NIV)
Revelation 7:10 - "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne and to the Lamb." (NIV)
Brothers and sisters, Salvation is a free gift to us, a gift from our Father in Heaven, which His one and only Son, Jesus, gave his life for us, for our Salvation. The GIFT TO US IS FREE, free for the asking, and free if we indeed try our very, very best to follow Jesus once we are saved. So I ask you today, have you picked up your gift of Salvation? Brothers and sisters, it truly is free, you do not even need to pay "shipping and handling charges." I want to bring out a few things, folks. We see ads on TV and in our food stores, buy one and get one free.
Let me talk about the TV ads, for they say buy one and you get the second one free if you just pay the shipping fee. No, with Salvation through Jesus, you get one free but you do not get the second one. If your spouse is not saved they can have salvation also from Jesus, if your children need saved, they also can get salvation free, but it comes from Jesus, they cannot ride in on our backs. So brothers and sisters, if you have been saved, or "Born Again," as the Bible tells us, and you want your family to be saved also, you need to get them to come to Jesus on their own. Yes, you can and should lead them, guide them, pray for them, love them and point them in the right direction, but the bottom line is, it is up to Jesus to save them. Now let's go grocery shopping and look at those ads we see so much. "Buy one, get one free!" This is code for it is going out date. Yes, in most cases if you look, and most often with the meats, they are about to go out of date.
So let me set this out. Buy one and get one free for you must us it right away or put it in the freezer right away or it will go bad. Brothers and sisters, once again I tell you that Salvation is free to all who ask and come to Jesus for it. AND THAT SALVATION THROUGH JESUS WILL NEVER SPOIL, IT WILL NEVER GO BAD. You cannot get it by paying for it, Jesus already did that for us, for you and for me. You cannot pick up one salvation and get extra for someone else, for they must ask on their own. Jesus wants us to work for Him and get the word out, we see that in the Bible. John The Baptist came ahead of Jesus and started to put out the word. Jesus formed a team, a team of men who followed Him and were used to put out the word. And we are the disciples of today and we are to put out the word. By the way, this is what Santa, Mrs. Claus, Elves Wanda and Grant and Pamela the spy will be doing in Santa's House on Friday and Saturday. We will be putting out the word of God. Now children might take a gift they get and give it to someone else, and that is a good thing for them to learn to share, however you cannot share your free gift of salvation from God. You can surely tell others and show them in the Bible how Salvation is gained, but once again it comes from Jesus. It is personal, it is between you and Him, between you and Jesus, between Jesus and you. Let's go to Jesus now and pray to have our sins forgiven. Then, brothers and sisters, on your own look up and read John 3:16/17, John 14:6, and Romans 10:9/10.
Dear Father in Heaven, please watch over us, and please, Lord, I want to tell You that I love You and ask that You clear me of my sins. I do believe that You died on the cross for me and that You were risen from the dead. Please, Lord, place my name in the Lamb's book of life. And then, Lord, help me to work for You. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
Now go forth and share your blessings and help one another. If you are just coming to God, you need a good church, please call me on my cell phone, 717 991 0754, and I will pray with you and help you find a good church where salvation is preached and taught. Hope to see you on Friday or Saturday in Santa's House. Love ya. Please pass that love on. Pastor Dan
