Salvation Wednesday 9/21/16 Appointments

Dear Father in Heaven: I love  You and thank You for loving me. Thanks for sending Jesus to the cross for us so that we might be healed by His blood and be saved. I give You all honor and glory for all things including air we can breathe, food we can eat, clothes we can wear, in other words, dear Lord, thanks for supplying all of our needs. Please keep your healing hand on Linda Miller, Robert Coburn, Donnie Swaggart, and also please touch the eyes of Mark, Dolores, and others who struggle to see. Please, Lord, place Your healing hand on the United States and protect this nation from terrorists, foreign or domestic, and also from riots, looting and race problems. Please, Lord, protect all those who protect us. Please watch over our leaders and those who are running to lead, and Lord, we pray for those who work hard to protect us. I pray for peace in our Homeland and pray for the return of Jesus soon. And until then, help  me to work each day in some way for You. Please help me with the message and to get it dispatched. In Jesus' Name, I give praise and pray. Amen.

Dear brothers and sisters: Does it seem to anyone else besides me that all we get done anymore are making and keeping appointments? It seems as we get older we spend more and more time in doctors' offices and making the next appointments. Then each one of those doctors wants to send you to another doctor. I want to talk to you a tad about that today but first I want to tell you something that just happened to pop out of my mouth on Tuesday at the food store. I was picking up eggs and one of the workers was stocking cheese right next to the eggs. First I asked about jumbo eggs and they were sold out. Then I was talking to him about the price of eggs.  Well, it seems regular white eggs are priced out according to size unless you get "Eggland's Best" which costs a whole lot more. Then there are brown eggs which cost more than the white eggs and if you get those eggs that are naturally raised some go up to $8.00 a dozen. It was then I stated that has anyone noticed they all come out of the "same place on a chicken." Well some others heard me saying it and there was a good laugh at the egg counter. Speaking of a chicken, they really are a miracle of God as only God would make an animal that makes eggs. Warriors, please pray for President Obama to get off the golf course and fly into Charlotte, NC, and stand up before all these rioters and looters and people who are fighting on the streets and just tell them all to "Stand Down." What is causing all of these problems is two basic things. This nation as a whole has WALKED AWAY FROM GOD, and people do not love their neighbors!!! If you agree to that, send me an "Amen." Now to the message.

Salvation Wednesday: September 21, 2016: Appointments (written on 9/22/16)

Matthew 4:17 - From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." (NIV)

How many appointments do you need to make in a month's time? The number is not all that important, but you make them at a time that fits your doctor's schedule and also your schedule and a time is set. You arrive on time and find they are running late. You have made back-to-back appointments or made one on your lunch hour trying to work things in to get more done and where you made the first appointment messes up your timing for the day. And it might not just be a doctor's appointment, it could be an appointment for almost anything. Lawyer's office, car service, or maybe even a seat at an eating place. You need to make an appointment to have blood taken for tests, and just the other night I was awake all night as I studied for a urine test. Are we happy we do not need to make an appointment to talk to our Heavenly Father!

Anytime or anyplace you can just talk to our Heavenly Father and you will find when you are finished you just need to place that prayer through in the Name of Jesus and it is a done deal. NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED. If you want to confess your sins you can do that also right from where you might be and at any time you want to confess them. Jesus will hear them and put that request through to God The Father. And if your wagon is dragging (you are tired and worn out) you just need to call upon the Lord and ask Him to send the Holy Ghost over you to pep you up.

You can pray while you are driving and I have seen some of you drive and you really need that prayer. You can pray sitting on the side of your bed, sitting on the toilet, while walking or anyplace else you can think of. You don't need to be in a church building to talk to God  and you do not need a pastor, priest, or any other church leader to relay the message. Why, you can even talk to God while waiting for one of those other appointments that are "running late."

As a matter of fact, you should talk to God before you make appointments and maybe they will go smoother for you. One of the things we can do that again requires no appointment is to do what Jesus tells us to do. We can "repent, we can love Him, we can love our neighbors," and we can pray for others. I guess in short what I am saying is with Jesus you never need an appointment. However, you do need to make a reservation. So today instead of making an appointment, why not join me in making a reservation?

Dear Father  in Heaven: Thank You for hearing us at anytime. While I have made my reservation for Heaven,  please hear this prayer of others who might not have made their reservation.

Dear Father, forgive me for I am a sinner. I trust and have faith in You and believe that Jesus was sent to the Cross by You, Father, to die for me. I confess and believe that Jesus did die on the cross and was risen again from the dead and will judge me someday. Please help me repent and serve You. Please place my name in the Lamb's Book of Life. Thanks. I ask and pray in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Now go forth and share the Love of Jesus and pray, warriors, pray. Love ya.

Pastor Dan
