Dear Father in Heaven: I lift You in praise this day for all things. What a beautiful day You have provided to us. Praise You, Lord, for air conditioning. I love You, Lord, and I seek forgiveness of my sins. Please travel with Beth and her children and keep them safe. Please protect those from the heat that are working the gardens for the hungry. Please be in Baton Rouge and keep calm and order. Please help us all to learn that all lives are precious to someone. Please heal the ones reaching out for prayer who do not want their name or condition listed. Please help me with the message on this our Salvation Wednesday and help the message reach out to the lost. Also please help me to dispatch the message. In Jesus' Name, I pray and give thanks. Amen.
Hey, brothers and sisters, it is hot here at the Southern Location of the North Pole. Please take care of yourselves and drink plenty of water. Today my message might be a tad different, so let me get started.
Salvation Wednesday: July 6, 2016: Passwords
Please enter your password that you have listed @!#35^%. Did you forget your password? Please try again @!#35^% and even though you see you have it correct the computer locks you out. We need passwords for the computer, for bank accounts, for credit cards, to get toilet paper i n your bathroom (I made that out up.) You mess up and get locked out. You must give your answer to your secret question, but shame on us who forget what we gave them. I could just about write a book about what I have been going through trying to retrieve information out of a computer that was locked down by one of those voices who wanted to sell us protection and I refused. It has happened before and I had to replace the computer. I am not replacing the computer they locked down this time, so I am working with the one I write with. So far, so good. I am sure some of you have had that same problem. Wow, I am sure glad about one thing. WE DON'T NEED A PASSWORD TO GET INTO HEAVEN, WE JUST NEED JESUS.
Could you try and picture yourself standing at the golden gate and trying to remember your password? There for sure would be a long line. Here are a few things you can do that will never change.
Take Jesus as your personal savior.
John 14:6 - Jesus answered: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (NIV)
Romans 10:9 - And 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. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are SAVED. (NIV)
And brothers and sisters, those will never change, and here is why:
Hebrews 13:8 - Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today and forever. (NIV)
Now you can make the arrangements now if you have not done so and that you just need to repent and try your very best each day to live for Jesus. Let's make the arrangements right now.
Dear Father in Heaven, I confess with my mouth that I am a sinner and I ask right now for Jesus to come into my heart and live. I want to make my booking right now so please place my name in the Lamb's Book of Life so that when I pass from this earth I will be able to enter heaven. In Jesus' Name, I ask and pray and I do believe, Jesus, that God raised You from the dead. Thanks for dying for me on the cross, Jesus. Amen.
Brothers and sisters, go forth and don't share those earthly passwords, but for sure share the love of Jesus so others will be able to enter the Kingdom when they arrive. The most important and rewarding job you will ever have is leading someone home.
Love ya.
Pastor Dan
