Salvation Wednesday 11/4/15 Assignments (12)

Dear Father in Heaven: It is Salvation Wednesday on this line, dear Lord. Please help us to witness to others so they come to You before it is too late. I love You, Lord Jesus, and I give thanks for another night of rest and another beautiful day here on earth. Thanks for hearing our prayers both silent and spoken. Thanks for this line and protecting it from the hackers. Please, Lord, keep that blessing upon us. Lord, please bless me with another message and please help me to dispatch it. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Dear brothers and sisters, another beautiful day here at the Southern Location of the North Pole. It is time to put out the antique sleigh in the yard and it looks like summer. It is a bonus day when you do not need the AC or heat. You do know, of course, God hears our prayers even if they are silent prayers? However, when asked to just pause for a moment of silence in a group without bringing the prayer to an opening or a closing in the name of Jesus, to me is wrong. Today one of my earthly assignments was to see the trash was at the curb. Today was a day I needed also to bless our trash gentleman and trash lady. Yes, and they are both just what I called them. I was waiting for them as I had a lot of heavy things curbside, and I wanted to purchase their lunch. Have you ever tipped your trash haulers? You talk about serving others, hanging out on the back of those trucks in all kinds of weather. These are God's folks serving others. I look back to my days of childhood when we put all garbage in one can and all trash in another. The garbage went to feed the hogs. I also know about the pay on that garbage truck, it was $1.00 a day and "all you could eat." I just can't help myself some days. Up to the part of the pay, it was fact. The garbage went to a hog farm and fed the pigs. Now you cannot do that. Let me tell you pigs will not eat what might harm them. I know that for at one time we raised them. That was a long time ago. Anyway, I do need to get to the message or my assignment from God which is to write this line. It is Salvation Wednesday, so please work harder today to lead people to Jesus.

Salvation Wednesday: November 4, 2015: Assignments (Day Twelve)

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 by have eternal life." (NIV)

Today I already mentioned that one of my earthly assignments was to drag out the trash. I also have a daily assignment from God to write a message. I do not always get them done, but I really try hard to get six of them out a week. I can only do that with the help of God, for He is the One who furnishes me with the words to type. He has even sent others to help me learn to spell. Speaking of which, the daily messages are still retyped by Pamela Bower and posted on our blogspot. The blogspot address is www.carrythelight4jesus.blogspot.com. You can go there at any time if you miss a day and want to look back at what you might have missed.

With that said, I try and do my best to write things out as God gives them to me. Today in our scripture it tells us about how God loved us, meaning all of us, the whole big wide world that He gave His Son for us, which makes the most important part of why Jesus was sent to this earth. Yes, Jesus had assignments to carry out also, and they came from God The Father, who would be not just the Father of Jesus in Heaven, but the same Father who is our heavenly Father. How would you like to have an assignment which was to "go and die on a tree so others might live"? I know our military are assigned to go into areas where over the years so many have died for us, but none was just assigned to die.

The day the World Trade Buildings came down, so many, many lives of police officers and firefighters and first responders gave their lives, but their chief did not say, go in there and die. Those who went in gave of their lives and they are real earthly heroes, but again, only one was sent to die. And He was sent to die for everyone, everyone, everyone. His mission was to save us, to save all of us. We all know the rules, or should, to be saved. To take advantage of the assignment of Jesus on the cross, we must make up our own minds if we want to be saved. That is a no-brainer to me, but for some, they must think about it. Pastor Rick Denison once told me "he was asked by a youth when he had to be saved to get into heaven, and Pastor Rick told the youth, it must be done before you die." But since not one single one of us knows when that will come, please do not put it off until it is too late. And Pastor Rick told the youth something like that. In fact, today, once again I want to offer up the sinners' prayer, so if someone would read this who is not saved, today maybe will be their day. Please pray again today with me either to come to Jesus or to rededicate yourself to Him.

Dear Father in Heaven, I confess that I am a sinner and I also confess that I want to be in heaven someday with You. I believe in Jesus, I believe He died on the cross and I do believe that on the third day He was risen from the grave. I believe it and according to Your Word in Romans 10 verses 9 and 10 that if I confess and believe I will be saved. Save me now, please, I ask and I do that in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

P.S. While Pamela spell-checks before posting to the blog, Dolores is my spell-checker on the line. When things are messed up spelling-wise, I did it without them. Hit it again.
