Dear Father in Heaven: Thanks for all the blessings You give to us each and every day. Praise You for Your mighty healing power and Your salvation through Jesus Christ. I love You, Lord, and I seek forgiveness of my sins. Please keep watch over Vickie and Dave. Please, Lord, keep watch over Matthew. Thanks for Your healing hand on Glenn and we pray he will keep getting stronger. Please, Lord, help me now with the message and then, Lord, please help me to get it dispatched. In the Loving Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
Dear brothers and sisters, coming near to the end of the assignments series. I believe this is one of the longest subjects I have written on in a long time. So let me get right to it today.
Saturday, November 21, 2015: Assignments (Day Twenty-Five)
Luke 24:1 - On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, He has risen!" (NIV)
PRAISE GOD, PRAISE GOD, PRAISE GOD.
Our assignment is to spread the Good News of our Risen Savior.
Romans 10:9 - That if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (NIV)
The scriptures from Luke tell us about that first day of the week when the women found Jesus to be among the missing and the news went out that He was ALIVE. While we could talk a long time about that part of the scripture, I used it to just get to this next scripture. In just this one verse we find several assignments.
One assignment is for us. We are to confess with our mouths Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts and we will be saved.
One assignment is for Jesus, and that is if we do what the verse tells us to do, His assignment is to Save us.
One assignment was carried out by God The Father, and He of course assigned this one to Himself and that was to "raise Jesus from the dead."
Two of the three assignments we are sure were carried out and one is still being carried out. The other one is up to us, up to you and me, Jesus is ready with His assignment to save us, all we need to do is confess and ask. Have you done that? If not, will you do it right now and be saved?
Dear Father in Heaven, as it tells me in Romans 10:9, I do hereby confess that I am indeed a sinner and I confess that I love Jesus and I do believe God has risen Jesus from the dead, and on this day, November 21, in the year of our Lord 2015, I (put in your own name) do ask to be saved. In the name of Jesus, I ask this. Please, dear Lord, save me. In Jesus' Name, I give thanks and pray. Amen.
Now please go forth and serve Jesus, and please try and keep your assignment of leading others to Jesus. Love ya.
