Dear Father in Heaven: I love You. Please forgive me of my sins and let me come to the table tonight clean of sins. Thanks for watching over all who use this line. Please be with those I prayed for and with in the doctor's office today. Thanks for opening those doors for me to do that and for giving me that gift to be able to pray with folks I never met before. Thanks for a doctor who prays in his office. Please be with Vicki and her family and heal them. Lord, please first heal the family and reunite them so the family gets along together, then after that please, Lord, heal the cancers and other problems in the family. Be with Burt, Patsy, Grant,Wanda, Pam, Eleanor, Bob,Sharon, and Lord, please be with all those coming tomorrow and bring them safely here. Be with Tara at her party, Lord. Touch families this day and watch over them. And Lord, on this 70th year of what we call D-Day, bless all of our veterans from all wars. Now Lord, please bless me with the message of the day and help me with the online communion, and then, Lord, please help me dispatch the message. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
Dear brothers and sisters: On this beautiful Friday here at the Southern Location of the North Pole, I must share with you just a couple of things and then right to the message, and remember we are going to start with communion.
At noon today I pulled out from our home heading for my family doctor, Dr. Lawrence Cox, DO. I had pulled my pickup from under our trailer and was driving it. Dolores and I prayed before I left home, as we always pray. I had passed through Mechanicsburg Borough and was heading toward my doctor's, which is down toward York, PA. Just outside of Mechanicsburg, an SUV made a very, very fast turn right in front of me. God, and all glory goes to Him, had me alert, and the truck working fine. I hit the brakes hard and missed the fast turning car by just a few inches. It was really close. God is good! It would have been head-on for me and right front and side door for the driver who made that left turn in front of me. Again, all glory and honor to God. But this was just the start. After being placed in the doctor's office, Doc Cox, as I call him, came in. Now Doc is surely "Born Again," and shows it all the time. First, he asked me to pray for him and his medical assistant. Then asked me to anoint two nurses and pray for them. He could not tell me what was the problem as he would not cross the line of being private with what he knew about them. Then after that I headed out, but before I got to the door they came and got me again and asked if I would come back and anoint a 22-year old young man and this time Kyle and his mother shared his problems with me. His problems were serious. I cannot share them with you, for as a pastor they were given to me just to pray. So pray we did, and all glory and honor to God. Saved by the grace of God, to arrive on time, to pray three times for a total of six people, with all glory going to our Lord Jesus. To top this off, I was not to have an appointment today, they called me and wanted to see me about something. Tell me please one more time how good God is. GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME AND ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD.
Now to the message, Going Up!
Friday, June 6, 2014, Going Up (Day Four)
Today please remember we are starting with communion. So please go and get a piece of bread and some juice or wine, or I am sure if all you have is water, it will be okay with our Lord Jesus.
First we pray. Dear Father in Heaven, please forgive me of my sins, and please forgive all who are asking right now, so that we may all come to the table clean. Please also bless the bread and juice that will be Your body and Your blood. In the name of Jesus, thanks for dying for us, and thanks for forgiving us of our sins. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
Luke 22:19 - And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." (NIV)
Please now take your bread and commune on it. Remember it is the body of Jesus broken in pieces for you.
Luke 22:20 - In the same way, after the supper He took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you." (NIV)
Now please drink of your juice or wine and remember it is the blood of Jesus which was and still is this day "shed for you." Yes, still the same today. (Hebrews 1:8)
Now that we have been forgiven and we have had communion, let me talk to you just a minute about renewing in our Lord Jesus. I have been asked over the years, once we come to Jesus and we truly have taken Him into our hearts and we indeed are "Born Again," how often do we need to renew to get into heaven? Brothers and sisters, I am a sinner and I still sin, so for me, I renew each day. That is not needed to get into heaven, He is not going to turn on you for one sin (praise God for that) so unless you deny Him and turn your back on Him and disown Him, He will not disown You. But for me, when I mess up, I just feel after what Jesus did for me, dying for me, I think I should at least say I am sorry when I mess up. That is the least I can do. Now at the beginning of the week, I told you that I would show you how He was taken up and also how He is coming back. I already told you about how He was taken up into heaven. Here it is again.
Acts 1:9 - After he said this He was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid Him from their sight. (NIV)
Now how is He coming back? Not on a Harley or in a Caddy.
Revelation 1:7 - Look, He is coming with clouds and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him, and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be. Amen. (NIV)
Every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him. Brothers and sisters, there is only one way to end this series this week, and yes, I will be working on this in the coming weeks. But for now we are going to the Lord in prayer and ask to be saved. Please either come to Jesus or renew today. Tomorrow just might be too late.
Dear Father in Heaven, please forgive me of my sins. I believe You died for me on the cross and I believe You were risen from the dead. I confess I am a sinner and ask You clean me up. Please in the end save me. Help me repent and walk nearer to You each day. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Now go forth and share your blessings. Love ya, and please pass on my love and by all means the Love of Jesus to others.
Pastor Dan
