Dear Father in Heaven: I love You very much. Thanks for covering my sins with the Blood of Your Son Jesus. Help me work each day to do better for You and to work harder to walk in The Light of Jesus. Father, thanks for bringing Vicki's mother through surgery. Please now heal the rest of her cancer. Lord, please heal Vicki's bleeding feet. Lord, please keep Your hand upon those travelers that we have listed early this day, those of our family and the Crockett family. Please protect other travelers this day. Thanks, Lord, for sending help to us this day, please bless that family. Lord, touch that insect bite on "Little Luke" and heal it. Lord, please help me now with the message and help others in getting ready to head home by spreading that Good, Good News of Jesus. Lord, please help me to dispatch it also. In the Mighty Name of Jesus, I give thanks and pray. Amen.
Sisters and brothers, it is hot today at the Southern Location of the North Pole, and I think maybe the last of the snow has melted. Please keep praying for our nation and also those requests we listed today. Now I want to get right to the message of today.
Thursday: June 19, 2014, Heading Home (Day Two)
1 John 1:5 - This is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you: God is light: in Him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with Him, yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in light, we have fellowship with one another, and the Blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin. (NIV)
John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." (NIV)
Years ago, I can remember traveling with my parents. They would travel roads by map and road signs. Yes, there were at one time arrow signs at intersections pointing toward different towns and cities. Yes, I do believe that a few of those signs remain up there in Perry County. Then I can remember having a car with a compass in it, and that is the way our ships traveled and I think they still use them somewhat. One of you ship people need to let me know. We also know that at the time when Jesus was born a special star led the kings to the house where the infant Jesus was lying. We have maps and now those GPS gadgets to lead us. However, special written instructions are often needed to travel our roads and not the electronic gadgets of today. Let me give you an example of this. Bus drivers going to certain locations are given "special instructions" by their owners or dispatchers. Here is what can happen. The bus drivers of these really high buses don't listen to the boss who gave them special instructions and they go under a low bridge and take the roof off the bus hurting or killing people. It also happens to truck drivers who fail to follow the special instructions or even those Low Bridge signs and just follow the road that the GPS gives them. I think you get the picture. So why bring it up?
When we are heading home, heading to our Heavenly Home, we cannot find it on a GPS, or a Compass, or even a road map. Not one of those will lead us to our Heavenly Home, not one. Where you will find that information is in the Bible, the Word of God. We can follow His light as pointed out in 1 John 1:5/7 and if we do slip and slide we can read that Bible more and we can just call home, yes, we can call ahead for some help. Today they say men will not stop and ask directions, yet I have seen many of them, and I have done this over and over again, I call home and talk to God. No phone needed, no cell phone or landline. Just call on Jesus. God has already sent His Son, and He has it all lined up for us (John 3:16). We just need to follow Him and those special instructions, and tomorrow we will dig into more of them. Time to close for this evening.
Now go forth and share your blessings. Love ya. Please share my love with others.
Pastor Dan
