Dear Father in Heaven: I am thankful this day that I have a loving Father who watches over me. I love You. Thank You, Lord, for the rain. Praising You that it is not snow. However, Thy will be done, Lord. Thanks for watching over those on our prayer list. Father, protect Your people. Please, Lord, be in our cities. Lord, right now in our State House they want to put in more gambling places to pay bills. Lord, just another strike against what You stand for. Help me to follow You. Please help me with a message and please help me to get it dispatched. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
Dear brothers and sisters, today is the 240th birthday of the United States Marines. If you look at those numbers, you will find the Marines were serving the United States before we became a nation. I want to get to the Assignments.
Tuesday: November 10, 2015: Assignments (Day Seventeen)
John 15:25 - "All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Counselor, The Holy Spirit, whom The Father will send in My Name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." (NIV)
Today my earthly assignment was to go to the dentist. What an adventure, I will write about that someday.
As for our Heavenly Assignments, the Counselor that we talked about yesterday is indeed The Holy Spirit. Now we see the Holy Spirit coming to us with His assignment. His assignment is to teach us all things and to remind us of everything Jesus has told us. But wait, you say, Jesus did not tell us anything ... Yes, He did, and it is recorded in the Bible. I also want you to notice the way the Big Three work together. No, I am not talking about Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors, I am talking about "The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit."
Jesus asks His Father to send The Holy Spirit, and it is sent in Jesus' Name. While I have in the past in this series talked about Assignments of God The Father, and I have talked about God The Son, Jesus, today will be the first time I talked about an assignment of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is to carry out the work of our Lord Jesus as He has left us and left the Holy Spirit with us. "He will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." Yes, Jesus will never leave us or forsake us, because The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit act as one. Gets deep, right? Think about it, folks, and if you have questions, please ask, and if I cannot answer them I will call on some of the pastors that are on this line to help me. Okay, time to stop for today, and to get ready for tomorrow, VETERANS DAY. So what to sing today. Well, you could sing the Marines Hymn, but I will sing this one. And please think of "this place as your heart."
Holy Spirit, Thou Art Welcome (Dottie Rambo, David Huntsinger)
(yes, we have done this one before)
Holy Spirit, thou art welcome in this place.
Holy Spirit, thou art welcome in this place.
Omnipotent Father of mercy and grace,
Thou art welcome in this place.
Holy Spirit, thou art welcome in this place.
Holy Spirit, thou art welcome in this place.
Omnipotent Father of mercy and grace,
Thou art welcome in this place.
Dear Father in Heaven: Please send the Holy Spirit into our hearts, into our homes, and into every place we go. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
Now go forth and please serve Jesus. Love ya.
Pastor Dan
Happy Birthday all Marines.
Holy Spirit, thou art welcome in this place.
Holy Spirit, thou art welcome in this place.
Omnipotent Father of mercy and grace,
Thou art welcome in this place.
