Dear Heavenly Father: I love You. Thanks for watching over us this day. Please, Lord, watch over Sally who had a bad fall. Please heal her fractured shoulder. Lord, please watch over Eleanor and heal her of breast cancer. Please, Lord, watch over all those who use this line, and Lord, please use me to work for You and help me understand that You may make changes to what I do for You from day to day. Thanks for letting me witness to others even in the doctor's office this day. Lord, please protect this line and help me to use it to glorify You in all that I use the line for. Please help me now with the message and then help me to get it dispatched. Lord, thanks for keeping my fingers typing even though the feeling has gone. Please help others understand the messages that You give me to write and help them forward them on as You and they feel fit. Also, Lord, on our Wednesday which we have termed Salvation Wednesday, help us to lead the lost to Your feet to be saved. With all glory, honor and praise going to You this and every day, I pray in the mighty Name of Jesus. Amen.
Dear brothers and sisters, I am so blessed. One of the greatest blessings that I have received other than salvation through the Blood of Jesus Christ is the fact that Jesus trusts me to work for Him. I am amazed how He has turned this sinner into a willing worker for His Kingdom. Many things have changed this past year and more so since June, but I have promised Jesus, and Dolores has done the same, we will not stop working for Him until the day He calls us home. Remember if you do have prayer requests, please send them to us. Please pray this day for the following: Eleanor, cancer; Sally, a bad fall; Alan, employment. Also, please cover this line with your prayers. I love all of you. Now forward to the message, Psalms of Salvation.
Salvation Wednesday: October 14, 2015: Psalms of Salvation (Day Five)
Psalm 9:13 - But I pray to You, O Lord, in the time of Your favor, in Your great love, O God answer me with Your sure Salvation. (NIV)
When you have prayed for Salvation, and you have prayed that this will happen in His time of favor, or in the words He has given me to use, have You prayed for Your Salvation to happen according to God's will in your life? When we pray for Salvation, maybe the first time we have come to the Lord, many of us, and I am one of the us, I came when I was at a very low point in my life. Of course I wanted it all to be better right away. I am so happy I have found out that as a child of God I now want taken care of according to His time and His will for me. I have learned that this is faith and trust that He wanted me to go through. If He would have made it all better all at once I might not have appreciated what God did for me, for all of us, but by taking His time, He made me come to understand about His love for me and how by going through what I went through I developed faith and understanding and also what it meant to be forgiving to others and also to seek not just forgiveness from God but also from those in life that I might have wronged. As most of you know, I lost my mamma when I was really young. Mamma would have tried to make me understand why I was hurting and also why I was being punished for what I had done. This was just another time she was following the lead of Jesus who my mamma loved more than anything. Jesus has over the years sat me down more than once. Sort of like a time-out, I guess. Anyway, each time call on Him, I have learned to love Him more and more. You see, Jesus loves us and Him going to the cross for our salvation is all about Love. In fact, the Words in our Bible are based on the greatest love story ever told. Let us look at some more Psalms of Salvation.
Psalm 69:27 - Charge them with crime upon crime; do not let them share in Your Salvation. 28 May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous. (NIV)
Here we see how David was pleading with God to charge others with crime upon crime. Even to the point of asking God not to let those others share in His Salvation. In verse 28 it talks about those doing the crimes being blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous. Wow, now we know that this can happen, those folks if they do not come to Jesus will be blotted out of the book of life. HOWEVER, if they come to Jesus as we have come to Jesus, our name is entered into the book of life and it is our sins, our crimes that have been blotted out. Great love story, right? The blood of Jesus today can blot out your sins, or without that blood our names can be blotted from the Lamb's book of life. Please come to Jesus today if you have not already done so.
Psalm 69:29 - I am in pain and distress; may Your salvation, O God, protect me. (NIV)
Answer me this, brothers and sisters, how many times in life have you gone to Jesus in prayer, asking Him to forgive you and telling Him that your pain is overwhelming, be it physical pain or mental pain? I sometimes think the mental pain is worse than the physical pain in our lives. The bumps and lumps of physical pain is hard, but that mental pain, often coming from what we have done in the past, can cause us a lot of undue pain. Undue pain? Yes, undue pain, for if we come to Jesus and come in faith and ask to have our past forgiven, we will find out that it is done.
Brothers and sisters, I am happy to tell you this day that once you come to Jesus, YOUR PAST IS GONE!!! Please, brothers and sisters, turn your past over to Jesus and then try and not let Satan and his workers rub your nose in it. It is gone, it is gone, Jesus has died on the cross to take away your past sins and crimes. Please today come to Jesus or renew in Jesus and then take His Word on the road with you trying to tell others about his great Love for all of us. Amen.
Dear Father in Heaven, please forgive me of my sins and sinful behavior. I love You and I confess to You that I want to be a follower of Jesus. I believe Jesus died on the cross for me and that He was risen from the dead and will judge me someday. Clear me this day, wash me white as snow. In Jesus' Name, help me then walk with You daily, holding onto Your love and telling others about the Salvation of the Cross. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Please go forth now loving Jesus and sharing His love for others. And by all means, if you can use my messages to help others, use them. Love ya.
Pastor Dan
