“The Winnowing Fork”

 “The Winnowing Fork”

 

“He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with His winnowing fork. Then He will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into His barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire.”  Matthew 3:12

 

 

John the Baptist was quite the character of sorts.  He went into the Judean Wilderness to preach his message: “Repent of your SINS and TURN to GOD, for the Kingdom of Heaven is NEAR.” And the PEOPLE came from JERUSALEM, ALL of JUDEA and all over the JORDAN VALLEY to hear what this STRANGE MAN was saying.  When John PREACHED, they LISTENED and those who CONFESSED their SINS were BAPTIZED by John. 

 

Then when John saw a large group of Pharisees and Sadducees coming to watch him BAPTIZE, he called them a BROOD OF SNAKES, and warned them saying: “Even now the AX of God’s JUDGMENT is poised, ready to SEVER the roots of the trees.  Yes, EVERY TREE that does NOT produce good fruit will be chopped down and THROWN into the FIRE. Then he told them that there was coming, ONE who would BAPTIZE THEM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT and FIRE.  

 

Then John gave them an illustration using what takes place at the THRESHING FLOOR. He commenced telling them of the use of the WINNOWING FORK, a VERY IMPORTANT instrument in the process of SEPARATION of the WHEAT and the CHAFF.  The WINNOWING FORK tosses the grain of wheat into the air and the WHEAT falls to the GROUND and the CHAFF or the USELESS part of the WHEAT, is thrown into the FIRE and the GRAIN of WHEAT is gathered and taken to the barn.   

 

John was telling them that the MESSIAH, when He COMES will PREPARE the REMNANT (wheat), for the KINGDOM by EMPOWERING and CLEANSING the PEOPLE.  However, those who REJECT the MESSIAH (chaff) will be JUDGED and THROWN into ETERNAL UNQUENCHABLE FIRE.  In Malachi 4:1&2 tells us: “The LORD of HEAVEN’S ARMIES says, “The Day of Judgment is coming, burning like a furnace.  On that Day the ARROGANT, and the WICKED will be BURNED UP like straw.  They will be CONSUMED—ROOTS, BRANCHES and ALL. But for you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings.  And you will go FREE, leaping with JOY like calves let out to pasture.”

 

Which will it be for YOU, the CHAFF or the WHEAT?  You can only be the WHEAT if you have given your HEART and LIFE to GOD, through His ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  And 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.  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 TOTALLY SEPARATED from the CHAFF.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!   Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!

 

“What Should I Do?”

 “What Should I Do?”

 

Then he told them a story: “A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops.  He said to himself, “what should I do? I don’t have room for all my crops.”   Luke 12:16-17

 

Being WEALTHY is NOT a SIN, but when that WEALTH becomes your God, then it becomes a SIN.  Having MONEY does NOT always solve problems, but it can create NEW problems.  As it was for this RICH man.  NOTICE that he seems concerned more with HIMSELF and not concerned about anyone else.  

 

I think that 1 Timothy 6:18-19:  Tells us the ANSWER to the question; “What Should I Do?” This is what he SHOULD HAVE DONE:  He should have used his money to DO GOOD.  He SHOULD be RICH in GOOD WORKS and GENEROUS TO THOSE in NEED, ALWAYS BEING READY to SHARE with OTHERS.  And by doing this he would have been STORING UP his TREASURE as a GOOD FOUNDATION for the FUTURE so he might experience TRUE LIFE.  

 

But this RICH MAN didn’t do that, and we see in Luke 12:20, God said to him: “You fool! You will die this very night. Then WHO will get everything you worked for?”  Verse 21, Jesus told the crowd: “Yes, a person is a fool to STORE UP EARTHLY WEALTH but NOT have a RICH RELATIONSHIP with God.”  It doesn’t matter how MUCH WEALTH you have HERE on EARTH, but it MATTERS very much if YOU don’t have a RICH RELATIONSHIP with the ALMIGHTY GOD. 

 

Do YOU have a RICH RELATIONSHIP with God?  Or do you HAVE any RELATIONSHIP with GOD?  You can have that RICH RELATIONSHIP with GOD if you will lay up your TREASURE in HEAVEN, for a GOOD FOUNDATION so you MIGHT have TRUE LIFE or ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, and be able to ESCAPE HELL, with all its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there.  

 

The essence of this parable is to NOT BE GREEDY, but SHARE as much as you are able, with those who are in NEED.  And do it with a LOVING, COMPASSIONATE HEART.  In order to have a RIGHT, RICH RELATIONSHIP with GOD and to STORE UP TREASURES in Heaven, You MUST become a CHILD of GOD.  And you do that by:  ADMITTING that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, GOD’S ONLY SON, who GAVE His LIFE to SAVE your SOUL.  Then 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 KNOW what YOU SHOULD DO, which is TRUST IN GOD for ALL of your NEEDS.  Do this NOW, while you STILL CAN!!!  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be Left Behind!!!

 

 

“No Other More Glorious News to be Proclaimed”

 “No Other More Glorious News to be Proclaimed.”

 

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them.  And He gave this wonderful message of reconciliation.  Therefore, we are Ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.    2 Corinthians 5:19-20

 

Have you EVER thought of yourself being an AMBASSADOR?  Usually, when we think of an ambassador, we think of someone from one nation going to another nation, on behalf of their own nation.  In other words, they are an AUTHORIZED MESSENGER or REPRESENTATIVE sent by a nation to a foreign nation, and they are AUTHORIZED to SPEAK for the NATION that sent them.

 

So, it is with US who are TRUE BELIEVERS of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  We have been AUTHORIZED to SPEAK on behalf of our GOD and KING.  What should we SPEAK ABOUT?  You may ask; We have a MOST GLORIOUS MESSAGE to PROCLAIM to this LOST and DYING World.  That message is: “Jesus Christ is RECONCILING this WRETCHED, SIN-DRENCHED world to HIMSELF.” And He is NO LONGER COUNTING PEOPLE’S sins AGAINST them. This MESSAGE should make everyone JUMP and SHOUT.  Because we NOW have a WAY to POSSESS an ETERNITY in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS.  And to be ABLE to ESCAPE HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  

 

So, now we have a MESSAGE and MESSENGERS, who are AUTHORIZED by the ALMIGHTY GOD, to DELIVER that MESSAGE unto ALL the WORLD.  And if you have given your HEART and LIFE to God through His Son, JESUS CHRIST, you could become an AMBASSADOR for CHRIST, by delivering His Message to your part of this world.  And in so doing you could make a BIG DIFFERENCE in the ETERNAL DESTINY of some who are UNBELIEVERS.  

 

If you had a CURE for CANCER or HEART DISEASE, or any illness that is LIFE THREATENING, wouldn’t you want to SHARE it with others, so they MIGHT LIVE?  By NOT SHARING this GLORIOUS NEWS of RECONCILIATION, someone might have a DOOMED DESTINY of SPENDING their ETERNAL DESTINY in HELL.  So, WE MUST be TELLING the GOOD NEWS of being RECONCILED with ALMIGHTY GOD, through the SHED BLOOD of HIS ONLY SON, who GAVE HIS LIFE to SAVE our SOULS.  PRAY and GO TELL SOMEBODY!!

 

If you have NOT GIVEN your HEART and LIFE to God, through His Son, Jesus, then you will be one who will SPEND their ETERNAL DESTINY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS.  However, you have the OPPORTUNITY NOW, to CHANGE that DESTINY:  You do that by:  FIRST, ADMITTING that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.  Then 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 His Gift of SALVATION and become an AMBASSADOR for CHRIST, who is AUTHORIZED to PROCLAIM the GLORIOUS NEWS that since JESUS has RECONCILED US with the ALMIGHTY GOD, our SINS are FORGIVEN and NOT COUNTED AGAINST US.  And there is NO OTHER MORE GLORIOUS NEWS to PROCLAIM.  So, do this NOW, while YOU still CAN. He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!! 

“Put Your Trust in His Love”

“Put Your Trust in His Love”

 

We know how much God Loves us, and we have put our trust in His Love.  God is Love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.  And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect.  So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face Him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.   1 John 4:16-17

 

Those of us who are TRUE BELIEVERS in Christ KNOW how much God LOVES US.  We know this, because in the Gospel of John, the Apostle tells us that God so LOVED the WORLD that He GAVE His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, so that EVERYONE who BELIEVES in Him will NOT PERISH but have ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN.  

 

The Apostle tells us that GOD is LOVE, and we can put our TRUST in His LOVE.  All who LIVE in LOVE, can LIVE in God. And we can have a SECURE RELATIONSHIP with Him, as long as we REMAIN in His LOVE.  The really GOOD thing about this, is when we LIVE in GOD, our LOVE GROWS MORE PERFECT.  This gives us CONFIDENCE and we will NOT be AFRAID of the Day of JUDGMENT, because PERFECT LOVE has NO FEAR.  ALL TRUE BELIEVERS will stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ, where OUR WORKS will be JUDGED, not our SALVATION.  In spite of our SINS and FAILURES, we can STAND with CONFIDENCE because we will have ministered in LOVE to members of the Family of God.  Most IMPORTANT of ALL, continue to show DEEP LOVE for each other, for LOVE COVERS a MULTITUDE of SINS.  (1^st Peter 4:8}.   

 

This type of LOVE has NO FEAR, because PERFECT LOVE EXPELS ALL FEAR.  And if we are AFRAID, it’s because FEAR involves PUNISHMENT, and the one who FEARS is NOT PERFECTED in LOVE.  So, we can have this PERFECT LOVE if we have a SECURE RELATIONSHIP with our Heavenly Father, and we can have a SECURE RELATIONSHIP with God, when we PUT OUR TRUST in HIS LOVE, and when we have a DEEP LOVE for each other.  REMEMBER:  GOD is LOVE!

 

Do you have a LOVE for others?  Do you have a SECURE RELATIONSHIP with God?  Or are you FEARFUL of the Day of JUDGMENT?  If you have NOT GIVEN your HEART and LIFE to GOD, through His Son, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, you do NOT have a RELATIONSHIP with God, and You cannot LOVE OTHERS like you should.  And the TRAGIC PART of this is; you do not have an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, but you are destined for an ETERNAL LIFE in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there, unless, you will ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of a SAVIOR, the Lord Jesus Christ, who GAVE His Life to 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 SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and PUT YOUR TRUST in HIS LOVE. Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!! 

“No One or Nothing”

“No One or Nothing”

 

If God is for us, who can ever be against us?   Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love?  Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger or threatened with death?    Romans 8: 31&35

 

The Apostle Paul’s ENCOURAGING WORDS are for ALL TRUE BELIEVERS, those who have been called by God to LEAVE their SINFUL LIVES and to FOLLOW His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.  He is OUR HOPE and ASSURANCE of an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN.  This is POSSIBLE, because God has GIVEN them a RIGHT STANDING with Himself because of what JESUS did to SECURE SALVATION for ALL of MANKIND.  

 

So, then if God is for US, (true believers), who could ever be against us?  In other words, WHO could EVER ACCUSE us before the ALMIGHTY GOD, and convince Him that we are GUILTY, when He proclaims that we are NOT GUILTY, (and He does), then the ACCUSATIONS against us are immaterial.  But keep in mind, this pertains ONLY to the TRUE BELIEVERS.  With that in mind, who dares ACCUSE us, whom God has CHOSEN for His OWN?  NO ONE—for we have a RIGHT STANDING with God Himself.  And we have this RIGHT STANDING because, God did not even SPARE His Son but GAVE HIM UP for ALL.   This RIGHT STANDING with the ALMIGHTY GOD is our ASSURANCE for an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN.

 

Now, we have seen that NO ONE can bring ACCUSATIONS, before God, against the TRUE BELIEVER, those who have been CHOSEN and CALLED to be a part of GOD’S FAMILY.  So, is there ANY THING that can EVER SEPARATE us from the LOVE of JESUS CHRIST?  Will He NO LONGER LOVE us if we have TROUBLE or CALAMITY or are PERSECUTED, or HUNGRY, or DESTITUTE, or in DANGER or even THREATENED with DEATH”? DESPITE ALL these things we have OVERWHELMING VICTORY through JESUS CHRIST who LOVED US.  Therefore, we can, like the APOSTLE PAUL, say: “I am CONVINCED that NOTHING can EVER separate us from GOD’S LOVE.  Not, DEATH not LIFE, neither ANGELS nor DEMONS, neither our FEARS for today nor our WORRIES about tomorrow—NOT even the POWERS of HELL can SEPARATE us from GOD’S LOVE.  NO POWER in the SKY above or in the EARTH below—NOTHING will EVER be able to SEPARATE us from the LOVE of GOD that is REVEALED in CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD, who is our HOPE.  Is He your LORD?

 

God LOVES YOU more than you can imagine, and because of His LOVE for ALL MANKIND, He SENT His ONLY SON, JESUS to PAY the PRICE of SALVATION, which NO ONE could ever do.  That is why the LORD JESUS CHRIST is our HOPE for an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN.  However, if you have NOT GIVEN your HEART and LIFE to GOD through the REDEMPTIVE WORK of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, then you are headed for an ETERNAL LIFE in HELL with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  But because of GOD’S AMAZING GRACE and His ABUNDANT MERCY, you have the opportunity to CHANGE your DESTINY.  And this is what you MUST DO.  You MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, who SUFFERED, BLED, DIED, and was RESURRECTED for the SALVATION of ALL mankind.  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 have the ASSURANCE and HOPE of an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN and REMEMBER:  NO ONE or NOTHING CAN SEPARATE YOU from the LOVE of GOD, through the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!

 

 

 

  

“The Life-changing Invitation and the Response”

“The Life-changing Invitation and the Response”

 

Peter’s words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” Peter replied “Each of you must REPENT of your SINS and TURN to God and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the FORGIVENESS of your sins.  Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.   Acts 2:37-39

 

This LIFE-CHANGING EVENT took place right after the anointing of the PROMISED HOLY SPIRIT up on the Apostles.  The One who took the place of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s Only Son.  Jesus promised the apostles that He would NOT leave them ALONE, but that He would send them a TEACHER, COUNSELOR, COMFORTER, COMPANION, and SO much more and He did, in the PERSON of the HOLY SPIRIT of the HOLY GOD.    

 

The Holy Spirit gave the Apostles the ability to speak in different languages. And Peter, PREACHED a rousing sermon, to ALL who were in Jerusalem for The Festival of Pentecost. And those who were there came from many different lands, yet they were able to HEAR Peter preaching in their OWN language.  And in his sermon, Peter offered a LIFE-CHANGING INVITATION to those who BELIEVED what he had told them concerning the FORGIVENESS of their SINS.  And those who witnessed and took part in the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ and became CONVICTED of their SINS.  So, they asked Peter what they SHOULD do to have this FORGIVENESS.  Peter instructed them to REPENT of their SINS and TURN TO GOD and be BAPTIZED in the Name of JESUS CHRIST.  Then they will RECEIVE the Gift of the HOLY SPIRIT.

 

The RESPONSE was AMAZING, those who BELIEVED what Peter said were BAPTIZED and added to the church that day it was about 3,000 in all.  Now, remember what the Apostle Paul told the Ephesians: “For you are SAVED by GRACE through FAITH, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s Gift not from WORKS, so that no one can boast.”  (Eph. 2:8-9). So, it is NOT BAPTISM that SAVES, it is GOD’S GRACE through our FAITH, not from what we do.   REPENTANCE and BAPTISM goes along with our FAITH.  Baptism is an OUTWARD act of an INWARD change.  It is also an act of OBEDIENCE. 

 

All of the BELIEVERS devoted themselves to the Apostles’ teaching and to FELLOWSHIP, and in SHARING meals (including the Lord’s Supper) and also to PRAYER.  They met together in ONE place and SHARED everything they had.  They WORSHIPED together at the Temple each day, they met in homes and shared their meals with GREAT JOY and GENEROSITY, PRAISING GOD and ENJOYING the GOODWILL of ALL the people.  And EACH DAY the LORD added to their FELLOWSHIP those who were being saved.  This is UNITY!!  

 

What a GLORIOUS RESPONSE to a LIFE-CHANGING INVITATION, have YOU ACCEPTED this LIFE-CHANGING INVITATION?  If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God through the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE of His ONE and ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, you are at GREAT RISK of spending ALL of your ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  God keeps OFFERING you His Gift of SALVATION, don’t KEEP REJECTING it.  In order to receive this LIFE-CHANGING INVITATION, this is what you MUST DO.  You MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who GAVE His LIFE to SAVE YOUR SOUL from an ETERNITY in Hell.  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 LIFE-CHANGING INVITATION, and His Gift of SALVATION, and experience a very POSITIVE RESPONSE.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!   Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!

 

  

“The Importance of Morning Prayer Time”

 “The Importance of Morning Prayer Time”

 

“Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD.  Each morning, I bring my requests to You and wait expectantly.”  Psalm 5:3

 

PRAYER is a CONVERSATION with the ALMIGHTY GOD. If you desire to have a MORE INTIMATE, CLOSE relationship with your HEAVENLY FATHER, then you NEED to have an ACTIVE prayer life.  You NEED to get ALONE in a private place.  Your WAR ROOM, so to speak.  And this is REALLY IMPORTANT, because there is a BATTLE going on, in the SPIRITUAL REALM, it is a BATTLE of the two forces that are FIGHTING against each other for the SOULS of MANKIND.  These forces are the FORCES of GOOD and EVIL.  And EVERYDAY mankind is attacked by the EVIL forces, this is one reason it is IMPORTANT to have a MORNING PRAYER time with your Heavenly Father.  

 

This is why the Apostle Paul tells us; “Don’t WORRY about ANYTHING; instead PRAY about EVERYTHING.  Tell God what you NEED and THANK Him for ALL He has done.”  One thing that is NEEDED for ANY TIME you PRAY is a TRUSTING HEART.  Notice, in our Psalm, verses one and two.  David says: “O LORD, hear me as I PRAY; pay attention to my groaning.  Listen to my CRY for HELP my KING and my GOD, for I PRAY to NO ONE but YOU.”   

 

At the time of his prayer, David was evidently having PROBLEMS with his enemies.  And in order to have PEACE and SAFETY, he KNEW that he COULD TRUST GOD with ANY and ALL of his situations, so he PRAYED: “LISTEN to my VOICE in the MORNING, LORD.  David KNEW that in order to be able to FACE ANY SITUATION, he MUST TRUST GOD.  And in ORDER to have PEACE about it and NOT WORRY, he PRAYED FIRST thing in the MORNING.  And HOW OFTEN did he offer up his PRAYERS?  Our Scripture says EACH MORNING he brought his REQUESTS to God and WAITED EXPECTANTLY. 

 

In order to have PEACE about the things that will come your way, you MUST have an ACTIVE PRAYER LIFE. And DEFINITELY a MORNING PRAYER TIME, so you can START a NEW DAY, having TALKED to your HEAVENLY FATHER and WHATEVER you FACE, HE’S with you and you can have a CLOSE, INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP with Him.  

 

However, if you are NOT ONE of HIS CHILDREN, your prayers won’t be heard by God, until you PRAY for FORGIVENESS of your SINFUL LIFESTYLE, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  Psalm 66:18 says:  “If I had NOT CONFESSED the SIN in my HEART, the LORD would NOT have LISTENED.”  So, if you have been CONVICTED of your SINS, and have REJECTED GOD’S SON, Jesus Christ and His FORGIVENESS, your PRAYERS AT ANY TIME of DAY or NIGHT will NOT be HEARD.  You MUST 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 now 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 start having a MORNING PRAYER TIME.  And be able to have an ETERNITY in HEAVEN with all its BLESSINGS. And ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there.  DO this NOW while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
