A TRILLION TO ONE

Driving back from Tallahassee last night the Lord impressed upon me how much He wants to spare anyone from going to hell. Consider it a trillion to one in betting lingo. If anyone says they want to go to hell they are either stupid, uninformed or looking for attention. Hell actually exists but it wasn’t made for humans. Satan and his crew of unholy angels will populate it along with humans who chose to follow the devil instead of the Holy Spirit. Pretty simple isn’t it? God said He made the Gospel [message] simple to confound the wise. Are you wise? I hope you are but not in the sense God is speaking of here.

Did you know the Bible tells us the beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord? If you don’t fear the Lord perhaps you should pick out one of the three illustrations above. I suspect most will choose uniformed. Well if you have here is the Lord’s effort to inform you.

No one on the planet has your finger prints nor will anyone ever will. God made you for Himself. When you were a tiny thing in your mom He went in her womb and said, “I LOVE YOU”. Then He implanted gifts, talents and abilities that are yours alone and no one can ever take them away. These gifts are like you unique. When you look about and see so many “man made things” be wise and understand they arrived by the combined genius of a group of folks working together. There are some inventions created by a single person but I suspect there aren’t many.

Within you are other things useful to the Lord. You are born with a body capable of “procreating”. It’s amazing to me why God does things like He does but His ways are always higher than ours. Last night at the game a couple sat next to me with a precious little guy that couldn’t have been over 2 years old. He had his moms and dads features which caused them to fawn over him. He responded fabulously causing me to watch him too. I told his dad that he was definitely a “keeper”. We fishermen talk like that.

Well when we receive Jesus into our hearts we take on the “image and likeness” of God Himself. Summed up into one word it’s LOVE. This family lavished love on this child for it belonged to them. God has entrusted him to them for an upbringing “in the fear and admonition of the Lord.” I don’t know if they have begun yet but the grandma, a very pretty lady, took my latest message, GOD IS SPEAKING IS ANYONE LISTENING and read every word. We grand parents are very concerned for our families now in the end times which are upon us. If you don’t agree please read your Bible, watch TV and read the paper. God will allow you to see what I see and millions more do.

Heaven was prepared for them that Love God. He has prepared a city for us and you can read much about it in Revelations 20-22. Did you know the pavement is pure gold so clear you can see through it? Did you know there is a wall around it 216 feet high? Did you know it is 1500 miles cubed in size? Did you know that the wall contains 12 gates each one a single huge pearl? Do you want to know who will never walk within it? You will find out reading the three chapters mentioned. What do you think the odds are anyone will live there without being born again? Allow me to tell you there aren’t any for it is impossible.

God provided Jesus to die for us where His execution was a bloody mess. Jesus is God [Emmanuel] and He was shedding His Own Blood for us to be washed clean. Have you repented of your sins and sought His forgiveness? If you haven’t what in the world are you waiting on? You are very precious to God. When you were born He had knitted you together for Himself.

Do you care or have you spent your life dulling your mind with alcohol, drugs and the Lord only knows what else? If you care even a tiny bit please tell Him right now. God is like the Marines in that He is looking for a few good men and women. Their goodness comes from the presence of Jesus Himself inside them. All the church attendance, giving of money, “being good”, [Jesus said no one is good but God] or doing religious things can help you gain God’s favor, you already have it. He is willing to forgive and forget everything we’ve ever done. Jesus has already paid the price.

Will you surrender now to Him? Don’t put it off. If you do there is a trillion to one chance I won’t see you in Heaven which leaves only one place left. Please don’t go there for you won’t like the devil one tiny bit, he is a hater.

Jesus is waiting on you right now. Don’t let Him and yourself down, OK?

In His Service,
