Category: when you feel His call in your heart

Why are you so glum?


I was a pastor for nine years and I’ve been told that since I post here daily, I’m still a pastor but that’s beside the point. The faces I saw and those I see on TV at church services look like they just ate a sour apple. I understand that many people don’t want to smile all the time but as Christians, we have the best news that could ever be told! Jesus made it possible for us to be taken to Heaven!

If you are a born-again believer in Jesus Christ, your eternity is sealed and sure! Being sad about the day’s news is not going to change anything. Consider this: He could come back at any moment! Your problems will all be solved when you are taken to your eternal home! No more glasses to wear, no bills to pay, no doctor to visit, and no more pills to take so you can remember to take your pills!

God loves us and He is coming back to take the church, His Bride, to heaven! From that point on into time with no end, you and I will be alive! It is a hard concept to get your mind around but with God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!

The joy of being His should give you a smile to show to everyone. But many people want to look at the world around them and see the things that aren’t the way we want them to be. God sees the bigger picture that we can’t see and He knows which way everything will turn out…His way. Don’t discount His design in your life and in the world around you because His way is always the right way.

Why did Jesus die?


According to the Bible and the prophecies He was/is Immanuel…God came here to be one of us! He was a human for the life that He lived while He lived with His human parents. Was He God? Yes, He was and is God the Son. He laid His divinity down and became one of His creations, the people that He loved and still loves more than His life.

While He was here in the flesh of mankind He felt everything that we feel during our lives. He felt hunger, thirst, sadness, weariness, love and anger. Yet He did not sin in all of His human feelings. He did this not because He had to but because He LOVED us! This is the same reason that He died on the cross and rose again on the third day! I pray that anyone who needs a Savior will seek to know Him while there is time to call on Him and then answer His call that comes back to us. He wants to know you, even though He already does. He wants to be involved in your life daily so please don’t push His call away like some telemarketer.

Do you live worthy of your calling?


Paul the Apostle wrote this many years ago but is relevant today: “As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.” Ephesians 4:1

As Christians, we are called by Jesus to become one of His disciples. Not to become rich or famous but to live your life so that anyone around you can see that there is something different about you. Yes, we are called to be different from the world around us because the people that we meet every day need to know Jesus Christ. Some of them do know Him but many don’t and if we don’t live and breathe any differently than the rest of the world…what will show them that our life is different or better than we used to be?

Considering the sacrifice and the torture that Jesus went through for our salvation, there is no way we can repay Him except by living our lives walking with Him every day. It is the least we can do for Him since He did so much for all of us long before we were born. God had a plan for your life and mine and we should walk according to His Word every day with the Holy Spirit leading us because we can’t do it on our own.

Many have made sacrifices to live for Jesus and many more will do so before the Kingdom begins at the end of the Tribulation but it will be worth it! God’s grace and mercy are ours according to His promises when we accept Jesus as our Savior and eternity with Him is the promise I’m looking forward to. Amen? Make sure of your eternity before your “end of days” comes because we don’t know when that day is.

God’s mercy and grace


All of us are bound for hell without Jesus and His Spirit coming into our hearts and changing us from the inside out. Not one of us is good, even Jesus said so. Seek Him out for your salvation before the Trumpet sounds because it’s going to be much worse if you wait until the church is gone.

Give your trouble to the Lord


You need to believe…


The Lord is the King!


The Lord gives you strength


What time are you looking forward to?


I’m looking toward the time when the Trumpet of God and the Marriage supper of the Lamb. There will be much danger for those who haven’t given their lives to Jesus and many will die during the seven years of the Tribulation. But…life will go on one day if you can live through those days. The only way to live through that time is to give your life to Jesus and live during His reign on this Earth for one thousand years.

It will be dangerous because the Anti-Christ will be seeking those who belong to Jesus to kill them. But, even if you are killed by him, you will live in eternity with Jesus. If you do manage to live until the Lord comes back to the Earth and you are a believer, then you will live through the entire time that Jesus is King on this Earth. It was foretold by God and it will happen if you give your heart to Him.

Today there are so many problems and wars and other things going on but they were also foretold to happen at this time. Just before the Tribulation begins, all of the things that were prophesied will come to pass. Everything must happen as God told his prophets to write down. Most of them have happened but there are still a few more that must take place before the church is taken up. When will that happen? Only God knows the day and the hour when the church will be taken to Heaven. It could happen today or tomorrow or even sometime next year or even five years from now. We will only know when that day arrives and it will surprise many people, especially those who are not ready for it.

“But…I went to church almost every week. I’ve been in church since I was a child, why do I need to give my heart to Him?” Because knowing about Him and being in church does not save you! Keeping a place warm on a pew doesn’t make you a Christian. Even being inside a church every time the doors are open for fifty years doesn’t make you a Christian. If you haven’t committed your life to Him and given your heart to Him and made sure to walk with Him every day, then you don’t belong to Him…yet. On that day when the church is taken up, don’t be left here.

A Comforter is given…
