Thank You, Jesus, for all things. Praise You, Jesus, for dying for me. Amen.
Dear Father in Heaven: I love You, and I give You all honor and glory for saving my soul. And Father, through Your Word, I give thanks for the refreshing I get from my Bible and hearing the music of Yours and the preaching coming from SonLife Broadcasting. Again, all honor and glory goes to You. Please help me with the message of this day and please help me to get it dispatched. In the Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
Brothers and sisters, another beautiful day here at the Southern Location of the North Pole. Today as once again I go into the character of Donkey Dan, I want to look ahead. The other day we witnessed the birth of John who became John The Baptist. I just want to bring out a little today about his life. So let me get started.
Friday: December 11, 2015: The Big Trip by Donkey Dan (Day Eight)
Luke 3:4 - As is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: "A voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him. 5 Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, and the rough ways smooth. 6 And all mankind will see God's salvation.'" (NIV)
Isaiah 40:3 - A voice of one calling in the desert: "Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; and the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. 5 And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken." (NIV)
Here we find two great scriptures telling us about "John" and what his special words would be. "Prepare the Way for The Lord!" Neil Enloe, singer-songwriter, would often look at me when they sang the song about "John The Baptist," telling people that I might just have that wild look of John. Brothers and sisters, in a way are we not all to be doing just what "John" did? Should not each and every one of us be telling all we can to, to Prepare The Way for The Lord? Of course we should be using that one word that a lot of people do not want to hear. REPENT!!! YES, REPENT! Repent, for the Kingdom of God is near. As we get ready to celebrate Christmas or the first coming of Jesus, we need to really be PREPARING THE WAY FOR HIS RETURN. And how do we do that? First, we clean up our own act, we get saved, you know, washed in the Blood, BORN AGAIN, and oh, how those words scare some folks. Here, let me scare a few more people. As it said on the side of the barn in Perry County, "Ye Must be BORN AGAIN." Before we get going on selling or telling others about our Lord Jesus, we should all invest in the time to be sure we are saved ourselves. Someone say Amen! I mean if you are going to be a Chevrolet salesperson, would you drive a new Ford? So we, before telling others of God, need to invest our own body and soul in Him. We need to trust Him with our very own life before we start going out and telling others to PREPARE THE WAY FOR THE RETURN OF JESUS!!! So how about it, will you take time right now with me and clean your slate? Get that fresh start? Now is the time!!! Tomorrow could be too late!! Please pray with me this sinners' prayer.
Dear Father in Heaven: I confess I am indeed a sinner and I ask this day for You to forgive me of my sins and please come into my heart and live. Please come over me and put upon me the Power of The Most High, the very power of The Holy Spirit. Reside in me, Lord, for I love You and I do believe that Jesus was born of a virgin mother and came to this earth just to die for all of us so that when we die we will be risen up with Him. I do believe He died on the cross for me and on the Third Day Father God raised Him from the dead to live and reign forever and ever. Please, Lord, place my name and all who are asking in the Lamb's Book of Life. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Brothers and sisters, this is the very best life insurance that you can have and it is FREE FOR THE ASKING. Then after picking up your free gift, go to others and get them to join you so that some sweet day we will all meet at the feet of Jesus for our homecoming. So today, please go forth sharing the Love of Jesus by saying, "Prepare the way for the Lord." Love ya.
