“Guilty or Innocent?”

 “Guilty or Innocent?”

 

For this world is not our permanent home, we are looking forward to a home yet to come.  Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to His Name.  Hebrews 13:14-15

 

A while back, there was a popular question that was posed to a lot of people and that question was: “If you were accused of being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you, or would you be INNOCENT of ALL charges?”  The author of the Book of Hebrews, whom I believe to be the Apostle Paul, tells us that this CORRUPT, SINFUL, FALLEN WORLD, is NOT our PERMANENT HOME.  For we are LOOKING FORWARD to an ETERNAL HOME, not made with human hands, and it is yet to come.

 

So, we are “sojourners” on our way to a NEW HOME that will be FREE of SIN, CORRUPTNESS, HATRED, PAIN, HEARTACHE, DESPAIR and ALL UNGODLY ACTS.  Yes, we can TRULY SAY; “This WORLD is NOT my HOME, I’m just PASSING THROUGH.  And I BELIEVE, with ALL my Heart, that we, those who have given their HEART and LIFE to JESUS, will be making that transition SOON, maybe SOONER than we think.   

 

In the meantime, there are some things we NEED to be doing. Paul tells us that we should OFFER a CONTINUAL SACRIFICE of PRAISE to our HEAVENLY FATHER, PROCLAIMING our ALLEGIANCE to His NAME.  Let ALL the PEOPLE, you come in contact with KNOW without a DOUBT that you BELONG to the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  So, get your PRAISE ON and CONFESS the NAME of the LORD.   The Word of God says: “OFFER a CONTINUAL SACRIFICE of PRAISE.” Are you GUILTY of that or INNOCENT?  This is one thing that God wants us to be GUILTY of.  I think we should PROCLAIM what King David said: “Let ALL that I am PRAISE the LORD, with my WHOLE HEART, I will PRAISE His Holy NAME.” “Let ALL that I am PRAISE the LORD; may I NEVER FORGET the good things He does for me.  He FORGIVES ALL my SINS and HEALS ALL my diseases. He REDEEMS me from DEATH and CROWNS me with LOVE and TENDER MERCIES.”                Psalm 103:1-4

 

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, through His Son, JESUS CHRIST, who DIED for the SALVATION of your sinful soul, you do not have a NEW HOME to look forward to.  However, you can have that NEW HOME if you will ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for You, before God.  And you MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and be GUILTY of CONTINUAL SACRIFICIAL PRAISE to the ALMIGHTY GOD.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!

“God-Confidence”

“God-Confidence”

 

Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise You!  I will praise You as long as I live, lifting up my hands to You in prayer.  You satisfy me more than the richest feast.  I will praise You with songs of joy.  Psalm 63:3-5

 

Oh me, how I LOVE this Psalm.  Some people believe that anything in the OLD TESTAMENT, is NOT applicable for the TRUE BELIEVERS today.  However, I strongly disagree with that mindset.  

The TRUE BELIEVER of today, can gain a lot of KNOWLEDGE and the RIGHT PERSPECTIVE about the HOLY GOD and His PLANS, PROMISES and PURPOSES that are directed towards mankind.  

 

Let’s look at King David and his situation.  He was in hiding (so to speak) in the Wilderness of Judah.  His son, Absalom’s rebellious attitude towards his father, caused an up-rising within the kingdom, a USURPING of the throne of David.  And David had to FLEE in order to save his life.

 

David was without the necessities of life.  He had NO WATER, and you know he developed a thirst.  Well, David began to think about what he really thirsted for was NOT water but for GOD.  He had been SATISFIED when he was in the Tabernacle, gazing upon the LORD GOD’S GLORY.  And while he was in the WILDERNESS, he LONGED for God’s Glory.  So, even in the WILDERNESS, David offered PRAISES to the LORD GOD, ALMIGHTY.  

 

Sometimes, when we are in the WILDERNESS of LIFE’S JOURNEY, facing difficulties and situations that seem OVERWHELMING we NEED to get alone with God, in a quiet place, just you and God, and pour out your PRAISES, first of all, to HIM, then offer up your petitions of prayer. And TRUST HIM to do what is BEST for YOU.  After all, you are HIS CHILD, aren’t you?

 

Notice in our verses, that David had a GENUINE GOD-CONFIDENCE.  He is saying to God: “Your UNFAILING LOVE is BETTER than LIFE itself.”  Whenever you, like David, REALIZE that the FAITHFULNESS of GOD is MORE IMPORTANT than ANYTHING ELSE in this LIFE. When you REALIZE this, YOU too WILL PRAISE GOD with JOY UNSPEAKABLE.  And you will have, like King David, GOD-CONFIDENCE that will SUSTAIN you through YOUR WILDERNESS EXPERIENCES.

 

David was SO CONFIDENT in God’s FAITHFULNESS to him, that he PROMISED to PRAISE GOD as LONG as he LIVED, and with the LIFTING of his HANDS, he prayed to his HEAVENLY FATHER, showing his CONFIDENCE in GOD’S FAITHFULNESS, David says; “You, SATISFY me more than the RICHEST FEAST.  I WILL PRAISE YOU with SONGS of JOY.”   

 

How about YOU? Do YOU have GOD-CONFIDENCE?  Can you say that GOD means MORE to YOU than LIFE ITSELF?  If you have NOT GIVEN your HEART and LIFE to GOD, through His ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who SHED HIS BLOOD in order to SAVE your SINFUL SOUL from an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  You can have an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS, if you will:  First, ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS DIED for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for YOU, before GOD.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ASK Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINS and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.

You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and have GOD-CONFIDENCE and PRAISE HIM for His UNFAILING LOVE and FAITHFULNESS to YOU!!!  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!

 

 

“Our Declaration in the New Year”

“Our Declaration in the New Year”

 

May all who search for You be filled with joy and gladness in You.  May those who love Your Salvation repeatedly shout, “The LORD is great!”   Psalm 40:16

 

This Psalm of David begins with a celebratory past instance of God’s DELIVERANCE, for David from his TROUBLES.  David tells us that he WAITED patiently for God to help him, and God turned to David and HEARD his cry.  Then God lifted David OUT of the pit of DESPAIR, out of the MUD and MIRE.  And He set David’s feet on SOLID GROUND and STEADIED him as he walked along.  

 

Part of David’s DECLARATION appears in verse three, “He has given me a NEW SONG to sing, a HYMN of PRAISE to OUR God.  And HOPING that MANY will see what He has done and be AMAZED.  And that they will put their TRUST in the LORD. Oh, what JOY for those who TRUST in the LORD, and has NO CONFIDENCE in the UNBELIEVER.   David DECLARES that the PLANS for God’s Children are too numerous to list.  And that God has NO EQUAL! 

 

Another DECLARATION of King David was that he takes JOY in doing the WILL of GOD. Because God’s instructions are written on David’s heart. In verses eleven through fifteen David’s CELEBRATORY instance becomes a DESPERATE instance.  It seems as though David’s iniquities had brought him NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES, which resulted in some INTENSE pleas for God’s COMPASSION and DELIVERANCE.  Then David turns his ATTENTION from himself to others who SEEK GOD, and his hope is that they would REPEATEDLY SHOUT: “The LORD GOD IS GREAT!”

 

That SHOULD BE our DECLARATION NOW and in the NEW YEAR to come.  If you are a CHILD of the LIVING GOD, then you KNOW that the “LORD GOD is GREAT and GREATLY to BE PRAISED!!”

However, if you are NOT a CHILD of the LIVING GOD, your KNOWLEDGE of GOD is probably LIMITED in scope.  And you have very LITTLE to PRAISE Him for and your DESTINY is not looking GOOD at all.  In order to have His BLESSINGS and His COMPASSIONATE HELP, YOU MUST come to His ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who DIED for YOU and to be able to have FORGIVENESS of your sins and an ETERNAL LIFE in Heaven, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  And to be able to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there. You MUST BE DRAWN by the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD, and you MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, Jesus.  You MUST BELIEVE with ALL your HEART that JESUS DIED for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for YOU, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and DECLARE that: “The LORD GOD is GREAT!!  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!  

“The Sacrificial Lamb”

 “The Sacrificial Lamb”

 

“The Savior —yes, the Messiah, the Lord— has been born today in Bethlehem, the City of David!  And you will recognize Him by this sign:  You will find a Baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.”  Luke 2:11-12

 

The King of Kings, the ONE and ONLY Son of the LIVING GOD, was NOT BORN in a FANCY, MANSION, in the BEST part of TOWN, but his LOWLY BIRTH was one of MEAGER circumstances. He was born to MARY and JOSEPH, who was not in the least bit WEALTHY.  And they had to travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem to be taxed, along with a HUGE crowd of other people. And to make matters WORSE, Mary was VERY CLOSE to giving birth to her FIRST CHILD. 

 

Now, the ONLY LODGING that was available to them was a SMELLY, DIRTY, STABLE that housed the animals that belonged to the patrons of the INN of which was packed with people that were in Bethlehem to be TAXED also.  Mary was TIRED, WEAK, and in PAIN, so Joseph took the STABLE, after all they would have some privacy, probably more than they would have at the Inn.  That place was PACKED, people were even sleeping on the dirt floor. So, Joseph got Mary settled and sometime in the darkness of the night, Mary gave birth to a HEALTHY, BABY BOY!!  

 

Well, their surroundings may have been MEAGER but the ANNOUNCEMENT of the BIRTH of THE SON of GOD, was BEYOND MAGNIFICENT!  And it was delivered NOT to the Roman Government, or the RELIGIOUS LEADERS, but it was delivered by an ANGEL of the LORD to some LOWLY SHEPHERDS who were watching their sheep on a hillside near the Little Town of BETHLEHEM. The poor SHEPHERDS were TERRIFIED, but the Angel reassured them, saying to them; “Don’t be afraid! I bring you GOOD NEWS that will bring GREAT JOY to ALL people—the SAVIOR, yes, the MESSIAH, THE LORD HAS BEEN BORN today in Bethlehem, the City of David!  And you will RECOGNIZE Him by this sign”. You will find a baby WRAPPED SNUGLY in STRIPS of CLOTH, lying in a manger.”

 

Now, this DESCRIPTION of the BABY being WRAPPED SNUGLY in STRIPS of CLOTH, was familiar to the SHEPHERDS, because they were responsible for making sure that the newborn lambs had nothing wrong with them, since the SACRIFICIAL ANIMALS had to be WITHOUT SPOT or WRINKLE.  So, the shepherds would WRAP the LAMBS in the cloth to keep them from being BLEMISHED or bringing INJURY to themselves.  This is why Luke has brought out the fact that JESUS was WRAPPED SNUGLY or TIGHTLY with the cloth.  Since He was the SINLESS, LAMB OF GOD, the SUBSTITUTIONARY, SACRIFICIAL LAMB, the ONLY ONE who COULD take away the SINS of ALL MANKIND.  And by that description, the shepherds would be ABLE to RECOGNIZE the SAVIOR of the WORLD.

 

Now, how can you RECOGNIZE the SAVIOR of the WORLD, that’s EASY, by the NAIL PRINTS in His hands.  And this RECOGNITION is the WORK of the Holy Spirit, who INDWELLS the one who belongs to JESUS. They have COME to the CROSS for the FORGIVENESS of their SINS. And they RECEIVE the GIFT of SALVATION and an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.

 

This is how you can be a RECIPIENT of GOD’S AMAZING GRACE.  FIRST, ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, who is the ONLY ONE ABLE to FORGIVE and SAVE your soul. You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for YOU before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINS, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and be ABLE to RECOGNIZE JESUS by the NAIL PRINTS in His Hands.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!! 

 

 

 

 

 

“The Greatest Miracle in Human History”

 “The Greatest Miracle in Human History”

 

…...” Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife.  For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. And she will have a Son, and you are to name Him Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”   Matthew 1: 20b-21

 

Mary, the Mother of Jesus was engaged to be married to a carpenter by the name of Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was STILL a VIRGIN, she became pregnant through the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT of the Almighty God.  Now Joseph was a RIGHTEOUS man, and he did NOT want to disgrace Mary publicly, so he decided to QUIETLY break the ENGAGEMENT.  And while he was considering this, an Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a dream.   

 

The Angel told Joseph not to be AFRAID to take Mary as his wife, because the Child she was carrying was CONCEIVED by the HOLY SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD.  And the Angel informed Joseph that they would have a SON and they should call Him JESUS, because He will SAVE His people from their sins. These events were NOT unexpected, they were part of God’s Plan, and Mary and JOSEPH were also, a part of that plan.  It was a FULFILLMENT of Old TESTAMENT prophecy.  The Prophet Isaiah prophesied: “The Virgin will give birth to a Son, and they will name Him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’  This IS the ESSENCE of CHRISTMAS!!

 

The GREATEST MIRACLE in HUMAN HISTORY is when the ALMIGHTY GOD became MAN.  The SON of GOD took on HUMAN FLESH and it was combined with the FULLNESS of DEITY and the FULLNESS of HUMANITY.  And the ONLY SON of the LIVING GOD became the GOD-MAN.  He is the ONLY ONE who can give SINFUL MANKIND FREEDOM from their SINS, and ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS. And to be ABLE to ESCAPE an ETERNAL LIFE in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  

 

This is what YOU MUST do in order to ACCEPT GOD’S GIFT of SALVATION and to spend your ETERNITY in HEAVEN. You MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, Jesus Christ.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS DIED for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ASK Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM, your SINFUL LIFE-STYLE and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT the GREATEST MIRACLE in HUMAN HISTORY, the LORD JESUS CHRIST as your SAVIOR and LORD.  And spend your ETERNITY in HEAVEN.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!

 

 

 

 

“The Conquering King”

 “The Conquering King”

 

He will repay His enemies for their evil deeds.  His fury will fall on His foes.  He will pay them back even to the ends of the earth.  Isaiah 59:18

 

This time of year, we celebrate the Birth of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, the ADVENT of His FIRST COMING to the earth.  He came as a TINY, NEWBORN BABE, and NOT a CONQUERING KING.  This event was first made known to some LOWLY SHEPHERDS on a hillside near the little town of BETHLEHEM of JUDEA.  This was God’s Way of showing that His MERCY and GRACE was extended to ALL people, that is to ALL who will ACCEPT His act of REDEMPTION.  And those who BELIEVE in the Lord JESUS CHRIST as their SAVIOR and LORD.  And the rest of the world was UNAWARE of this MIRACULOUS EVENT that had taken place.  

 

The Prophet Isaiah, however, tells us of another MIRACULOUS EVENT, that will take place in the future.  This event is KNOWN as the SECOND COMING of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, to set up His KINGDOM on EARTH.  But first, there needs to be a little house cleaning done.  When this event happens, it will be KNOWN ALL OVER the WORLD.  EVERY KNEE will BOW and EVERY TONGUE will CONFESS that JESUS CHRIST is LORD.  

 

Christ will CLOTHE Himself with a ROBE of VENGEANCE and a CLOAK of DIVINE PASSION, and He will REPAY His ENEMIES for their EVIL DEEDS.  He will CRUSH His ENEMIES and will REIGN with RIGHTEOUSNESS.  And to ALL of GOD’S ENEMIES, JESUS CHRIST will come as a TERRIFYING, CONQUERING KING, who will SWEEP them away like a RAGING FLOOD TIDE driven by the Breath of the LORD GOD.  This is the SECOND COMING of the CONQUERING KING!

Are you one of those ENEMIES?

 

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God through the REDEMPTIVE WORK of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, then you are an ENEMY of God.  But you have the opportunity NOW, to come to JESUS and let Him make you a CHILD of GOD.  This is what YOU MUST DO:  First, ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, God’s Only Son.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS DIED for YOU and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for YOU, before GOD.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.   You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFE-STYLE and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and ACCEPT that JESUS is the CONQUERING KING, over SIN, DEATH and the GRAVE.  HE is the ONLY WAY to spend your ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS and to MISS an ETERNAL LIFE in HELL with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there.  So, do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

“The Incredible Gospel of Salvation”

 “The Incredible Gospel of Salvation”

 

This Salvation was something even the prophets wanted to know more about when they prophesied about this gracious salvation prepared for you.  They wondered what time or situation the Spirit of Christ within them was talking about when He told them in advance about Christ’s Suffering and His Great Glory afterward.   1 Peter 1:10-11

 

The main purpose for the BIRTH of JESUS CHRIST was for the REDEMPTION of mankind.  Remember, “For God so LOVED the WORLD that He GAVE His Only Son that WHOSOEVER, BELIEVES in Him will NOT PERISH but have ETERNAL LIFE. (John 3:16). 

 

The prophets were so enthralled with what they were prophesying about this COMING SALVATION that they wanted to know MORE about this Incredible Gospel, a plan that was in the HEART of the Almighty God from the very beginning.  I would imagine that they had MANY questions about this GRACIOUS SALVATION, even the part of Christ’s Suffering and His GREAT GLORY.  One thing they did know was that they were NOT SERVING themselves.  

 

And through the PREACHING of PETER and the other Apostles this GOOD NEWS has been PREACHED even to US.  This GOSPEL is so INCREDIBLE that EVEN the ANGELS are WATCHING as it is unfolding. They too are ENTHRALLED with this INCREDIBLE GOSPEL of SALVATION.

 

How about YOU?   Are you experiencing this INCREDIBLE GIFT of SALVATION?  If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, through His ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, then you are NOT experiencing GOD’S GIFT for YOU.  In order to RECEIVE this INCREDIBLE gift of SALVATION, you MUST FIRST, ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who GAVE His LIFE to SAVE your SOUL from spending an ETERNITY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  You MUST BELIEVE with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s INCREDIBLE GOSPEL of SALVATION and be able to SPEND your ETERNITY in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!

  

 

 

“A COMPLETE Cleansing”

 “A COMPLETE Cleansing”

 

How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart?  Cleanse me from these hidden faults.  Keep Your servant from deliberate sins!  Don’t let them control me.  Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin.   May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to You, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.  Psalm 19: 12-14

 

In this Psalm, we see David’s concern for a COMPLETE CLEANSING.  In his prayer to the Lord God Almighty, his CONCERN was ALL the SINS lurking in his heart.  So, he asks God to CLEANSE him from those HIDDEN FAULTS.  The HIDDEN FAULTS, the ones that ONLY God sees.  The ones that are committed out of not knowing that they are not PLEASING in GOD’S SIGHT.  So, we don’t acknowledge them.  But David realized that there were so many of them hidden in the recesses of his heart.  And he ASK God to CLEANSE him from ALL the HIDDEN FAULTS.

 

Then we see David’s concern for a COMPLETE CLEANSING from the DELIBERATE or WILLFUL sins and implores God to NOT let them CONTROL him.  He realized and TRUSTED God to CLEANSE him so he might be FREE of GUILT and INNOCENT of GREAT SIN.  These sins were actually KNOWN SINS and PLANNED to be carried out.  

 

At that time, David did not have the HOLY SPIRIT abiding in him as the TRUE BELIEVER of today has in them.  And when we SIN, HIDDEN or DELIBERATE, God’s Spirit CONVICTS us of that SIN.  And it is our RESPONSIBILITY to CONFESS our sins, and like David, we NEED to SEEK the CLEANSING POWER of the ALMIGHTY GOD, so WE too can be FREE from the GUILT.  Even though OUR SINS are FORGIVEN, PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE.  We need to CONFESS and REPENT. And this is why:  So, the words of my mouth and the MEDITATION of my HEART is PLEASING to You, O LORD, my ROCK and my REDEEMER. And that we would be a CLEAN, FIT VESSEL to be USED by GOD for the FURTHERANCE of His KINGDOM.

 

If you have NOT GIVEN your HEART and LIFE to God, then YOU are NOT PLEASING to HIM, but you are a SINNER that is DESTINED for an ETERNITY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS and NO way to ESCAPE, once you are there. You NEED the COMPLETE CLEANSING from the BLOOD of God’s ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who GAVE His LIFE to SAVE your SOUL from an ETERNAL LIFE in HELL.  And to GIVE you an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS.  This is what you MUST DO.  You MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS YOUR SINS to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS, and a COMPLETE CLEANSING from ALL your SINS, HIDDEN or WILLFUL.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and receive a COMPLETE CLEANSING and may the WORDS of your mouth and the MEDITATION of your HEART be PLEASING to God.  So, do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
