Dear Father in Heaven: Please forgive me of my sins, and I give honor and glory for You doing that for me and all who ask in faith. Please, Lord, be on our highways, rails, and in the air with those who are traveling. Dear Father in Heaven, please help me with the message and then please help me to get it dispatched. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
Dear brothers and sisters, HAPPY THANKSGIVING, and happy birthday to our baby daughter Leann. She is, well, a lot younger than me. Amen. Brothers and sisters, today is the final day of the series on Assignments. It took 27 days and I think God would have given me even more if I would have prayed harder about it. So let me get to it!
Salvation Wednesday: November 25, 2015: Assignments (Day Twenty-seven)
Acts 1:9 - After He said this, He was taken before their very eyes, and a cloud hid Him from their sight. 10 They were looking intently up into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking up into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go up into heaven." (NIV)
What a great way God has given me to wind up a series on Assignments. This final assignment of Jesus that we are going to talk about today is an assignment that will be given to Him by His Father in Heaven. When will this assignment happen? I do not know and neither does anyone else, not this writer, not your pastor or priest, not the Pope, not the angels of Heaven, not even the Son of God, our dear Lord Jesus.
Our assignment again like on so many of our assignments from God The Father and God The Son is to tell the world, and your next door neighbor what Jesus did and still does for us through the power of The Holy Spirit. One of the things I really want to point out is this. HE'S COMING BACK, YES, HE IS COMING BACK, AND I AM TRYING NOT TO GET TOO EXCITED ABOUT IT, BUT IT IS EXCITING!!!
One pastor years ago told me if Jesus would come back today that He would more than likely come on a Harley and go to the bars and talk to people. To that pastor I would say this. YOU ARE WRONG!! Go and read your Bible, Pastor!! (I will withhold that name.) There is no doubt in my mind He is coming back and right here we see that He will be coming back in the same way He went up. Here it is again from Luke.
Luke 1:11b - "This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go up into heaven."
He will be coming back in a cloud of light!!! Here is some more proof that He is coming back for us.
John 14:1 - "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in Me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me that you also may be where I am." (NIV)
Now brothers and sisters, it is in the Words of our Lord Jesus and let us look at verse 3 again.
John 14:3 - "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me that you also may be where I am."
He's coming back, brothers and sisters. I said HE'S COMING BACK!! If my old knees were not shot and my back broken, I would just get up and dance. I just love Him so much.
Today I have a Thanksgiving prayer for all of you. Here it is.
Dear Father in Heaven, I pray on this Thanksgiving Eve that all those who are reading this line will share Your love with whomever they might break bread with. I pray, Lord, that each one will work for You, get right in Your eyes and be ready for that time when You, Father, send Jesus back to get His bride. I pray that when people dig into all that food that they remember that You started all the food and have furnished it all. I pray that they will remember on this day all who have worked hard to keep the food chain going forth and that they remember that even these birds we call turkeys had to be brought forth in the Ark. I pray that each one will remember all those who have fought hard to keep us safe. I pray also that the readers of this line and their families are blessed even more than they are now. I pray that each one will let Jesus head up their house so the house becomes a home. And Father, if I could hug each one today I would do just that. And Lord, at last I pray that each one is saved, that they are indeed "Born Again." In Jesus' Name, I give You all glory for those on this line and for trusting me to write for You. Amen.
Brothers and sisters, I really do love you, all of you, bar none, but Jesus is number one in my heart. Jesus, I do love You, more and more each day. There is one song I can lead you in today and maybe a chorus. So go forth now singing and sharing the love of Jesus, who by the way IS COMING BACK. Love ya.
Pastor Dan
We Gather Together
We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing.
He chastens and hastens His will to make known.
The wicked oppressing cease them from distressing.
Sing praises to His name, He forgets not His own.
We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader in battle
And pray that Thou still our Defender wilt be.
Let thy congregation escape tribulation.
Thy name be ever praised! O Lord make us free!
Mansion Over The Hilltop (Chorus)
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
in that bright land where we'll NEVER GROW OLD.
And someday yonder we will never more wander
but walk on streets that are purest gold.
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
in that bright land where we'll NEVER GROW OLD.
And someday yonder we will never more wander
but walk on streets that are purest gold.
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
in that bright land where we'll NEVER GROW OLD.
And someday yonder we will never more wander
but walk on streets that are purest gold.
