| Today I was struck with the urgency of the hour. We are living in dangerous, perilous times. We are at a place in this nation that I liken to the edge of a cliff. We have allowed ourselves so much freedom. We have loosed ourselves from any moral chains that bind; unshackled ourselves from family commitments and sacred values. We are like sheep that have gone astray. We've wandered, we've wallowed, we've wavered, and we've worked our way right up to the edge. We are teetering on the brink of judgment. God's grace is the only thing keeping us from falling headlong into the black hole of damnation. | |||||||||||||||||||
| I believe someone reading this is on the brink of judgment. Please don't stop. read every word! This is like a fire shut up in my bones.It must come out! I heard a story recently of a man who disobeyed God concerning an assignment. As this man was walking into a grocery store, he spotted a worker high in the air, changing the advertisement on a billboard. The Lord said,"Tell him the Lord loves him and that judgment is at the door". Perhaps thinking he had time, the man proceeded to shop for groceries instead. Upon leaving the store, he was alarmed to see red and blue lights flashing at the base of the sign. Dread gripped his heart. The worker had fallen and broken his neck. He had died, without ever hearing those timely words of warning!. What a tragedy. | |||||||||||||||||||
| I am calling out to you in obedience to the Lord. My friend, please listen! I feel as if someone reading this is living on borrowed time. You are away from God, and you know it. There have been people pleading to God on your behalf. They have been bombarding Heaven for the Lord to have mercy on your soul. Mercy, in the simplest terms, is undeserved forgiveness. It's what you need...and it's what God is offering. | |||||||||||||||||||
| You are living on the edge of eternity. The Lord has been kind to you. He's been speaking to you through friends, gospel literature, and even Christian programming... but you've still not yielded. He has come to you in the secret of your home...alone in your automobile, and spoken to your inner self about " getting right"...but you've still refused. You've always got an excuse. You're always putting it off. " Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow," you say. My friend, tomorrow is a date only found on a fool's calendar. Today is the day of salvation. Today is the day, now is the time. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Perhaps you are a backslider. You've been playing with the devil's matches and now the flames of hell are licking up around you. What started as something so innocent, so small, so simple, has now turned into full-blown sin. You're feeling the effects of sin. You've managed to keep others from suspecting much, but inwardly you're being eaten alive. Friend, this is a message of God's love. There seems to be an unseen hand, a heavenly hold, the clasp of the Christ child, keeping you from certain doom. | |||||||||||||||||||
| It is time! Time to take a good look at where you've been and a serious look where you're going. It's time to stop, evaluate, reason with yourself, talk to Jesus, and begin inching your way back towards solid, safe, sanctified ground. | |||||||||||||||||||
| You are living in a season of grace while at the same time mocking mercy. I'm warning you...don't do that! Don't mess with mercy. His Spirit will not always deal kindly with you!. You are basking in what seems to be the sunlight of God's favor, while ignoring the black cloud of Judgment on the horizon. Be careful!! You are lifting your lips to the cup of His blessings while totally oblivious to the cup of His Wrath. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Yes, my friend, these are serious times. I encourage you to give yourself a spiritual pinch. Pour cold water over your sleepy-eyed countenance. Give your spiritual self a slap in the face. It's wake-up time! Time to get up. Time to get right with God. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Cry out to God like the psalmist, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly. For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed"(ps 31:9,10) |
|||||||||||||||||||
| "For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. I acknowledged my sin unto Thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my flesh" (Psalm 32: 4-,5 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Take time, right now, to pray. Ask Jesus to wash you, cleanse you, and to take away your sin. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Don't pass up this season of grace..for soon you'll feel the blistering winds of wrath. Right now His hand is outstretched. Let Him touch you and pull you back to safety. Jesus loves you..it's time to love Him back. Jesus is drawing close to you..it's time for you to turn, and draw close to Him. He's reaching out to you! It's time for you to reach out to Him. | |||||||||||||||||||
