Matthew 9:9, "And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him."
ACCEPTING JESUS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT ANYONE WILL EVER DO. IT IS A SHAME THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE TAKE BEING A CHRISTIAN FOR GRANTED. I HAVE ASKED PEOPLE BEFORE IF THEY WERE BORN AGAIN AND THEY GOT VERY UPSET WITH ME. I WANTED TO SAY TO THEM THAT IF THY WERE LIVING THEIR LIVES THE WAY A CHRISTIAN SHOULD, I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO ASK. I WANTED TO SAY THAT TO THEM BUT I DIDN'T. WE ALL SHOULD BE ASKING OURSELVES IF WE ARE LIVING OUR LIVES IN A WAY THAT PEOPLE WILL HAVE NO DOUBT THAT WE ARE BORN AGAIN.
THE REASON I SAY THAT SOME PEOPLE TAKE THEIR SALVATION FOR GRANTED IS I HAVE HEARD THEM SAY "ONCE...
HAVE YOU HEARD SOMEONE SAY THAT THE BIBLE IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND? THERE IS A REASON FOR THIS. FIRST OF ALL, IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN AND ARE SAYING THIS, YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE MANY VERSIONS OF THE BIBLE, SOME MORE EASY TO UNDERSTAND THAN OTHERS. AND, YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO GO TO WHEN YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND SOMETHING. HE WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS IF YOU WILL JUST ASK AND LISTEN TO HIM.
FOR YOU NON-BELIEVERS WHO ARE READING THIS, YOU CAN NOT UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT FOR YOU TO KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF IT. LOOK WHAT JESUS TOLD THE DISCIPLES WHEN THEY ASK HIM WHY HE TAUGHT SO MUCH IN PARABLES. HE HAD BEEN SPEAKING TO NON-BELIEVERS AND SAID...
THE DEFINITION OF FORGIVENESS IS, TO GIVE UP RESENTMENT AGAINST SOMEONE OR TO STOP WANTING TO PUNISH THEM. WHEN SOMEONE HAS DONE SOMETHING TO YOU THAT HURTS YOU AND ASKS FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS, IS THIS WHAT YOU THINK OF? WE DO THINGS SO OFTEN TO EACH OTHER AND ASK FORGIVENESS SO MANY TIMES THAT, I BELIEVE, THE MEANING HAS GOTTEN LOST. ARE THERE TIMES YOU SAY YOU FORGIVE BUT STILL RESENT WHAT THEY DID? THAT IS NOT FORGIVENESS. WHAT IF JESUS FORGAVE US AND THEM HELD RESENTMENT AGAINST US FOR WHAT WE HAD DONE? WE WOULD BE IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE, WOULDN'T WE?
This is your final warning, repent now or experience the full extent of God’s wrath that will be poured out on our country. I wrote these words back in 2006 and every day since, these words become more prophetic for a country that has all but turned its back on the one true God.
OVER THE YEARS I HAVE TRIED TO FIND A WAY TO CONVINCE YOU NON BELIEVERS THAT GOD IS REAL AND THE BIBLE IS HIS HOLY WORD. WHEN I WAS PRAYING THIS MORNING IT CAME TO MIND THAT EVERYONE HAS THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. (ROMANS 1:18-19 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
