"IS GOD DRAWING YOU?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

Posted in: INSPIRATIONAL


BEFORE I GET STARTED THIS MORNING I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING.  FOR YOU WHO READ MY MORNING MESSAGES REGULARLY IT MIGHT APPEAR THAT YOU HAVE HEARD SOMETHING LIKE IT BEFORE AND YOU PROBABLY HAVE.  THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME LIKE SALVATION, HEALING, PROSPERITY AND PEACE FOR JUST A FEW AND WRITING A MESSAGE EVERY DAY I AM GOING TO USE A LOT OF THE SAME SCRIPTURES.  I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS EVERY DAY FOR OVER SEVEN YEARS NOW AND SINCE I TRY TO BACK UP EVERYTHING THAT I WRITE WITH SCRIPTURE, I USE A LOT OF THE SAME ONES.  SO I HOPE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND.  

ALSO, THERE MIGHT BE SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT NEEDS TO HEAR THAT PARTICULAR MESSAGE THAT MORNING AND IF IT BRINGS THEM CLOSER TO JESUS THEN IT WAS WELL WORTH WRITING ON THAT SUBJECT AGAIN.  I JUST THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE WITH ME.  NOW FOR THIS MORNING'S MESSAGE.



IS GOD DRAWING YOU?


WHEN YOU ARE IN CHURCH AND THE PASTOR GIVES THE INVITATION, DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOU SHOULD GO DOWN TO THE ALTER TO BE SAVED?  MY QUESTION IS, WHY DO YOU THINK YOU NEED TO DO THAT? NOW IF YOU ARE FEELING DRAWN TO GO DOWN TO THE ALTER, MAYBE YOU ARE NOT SAVED AND IT IS GOD DRAWING YOU TO HIM.  LOOK WHAT JESUS SAYS IN JOHN 6:44 "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day."  I WOULD SUGGEST REALLY PRAYING ABOUT THIS AND GET IT SETTLED ONCE AND FOR ALL.  THIS IS NOTHING TO PLAY AROUND WITH.






I HAVE TALKED TO PEOPLE THAT SAY THEY FEEL THE NEED TO ASK FORGIVENESS WHEN THEY SIN, AND THEY DO, TO KEEP SATAN FROM HAVING ACCESS INTO THEIR LIVES.  HOWEVER, ALL OUR SINS HAVE ALREADY BEEN FORGIVEN, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE, AND WHEN WE DO SIN, JESUS TELLS US TO  ASK FORGIVENESS FOR THAT SIN AND THE FORGIVENESS THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN GIVEN IS APPLIED TO THOSE SINS.  HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE COMMITTING THE SAME SIN OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND CONTINUE TO DO SO, WERE YOU REALLY SINCERE WHEN YOU ASKED FORGIVENESS?  REPENT MEANS "to feel such sorrow for sin or fault as to be disposed to change one's life for the better"  AND IF YOU ARE COMMITTING THE SAME SIN OVER AND OVER AGAIN, THIS IS NOT REPENTING.  JESUS SAYS IN LUKE 13:3 "except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."   IF THIS IS YOU, YOU REALLY NEED TO TALK TO JESUS ABOUT IT.    



ONE OTHER THING, IF YOU ARE ASKING FORGIVENESS SO JESUS WILL STILL LOVE YOU AND YOU WON'T GO TO HELL, I HAVE GREAT NEWS FOR YOU.  DON'T EVER THINK THAT ANYTHING OR ANYONE CAN SEPARATE YOU FROM THE LOVE OF JESUS.  I WILL LEAVE  YOU WITH THIS SCRIPTURE IN ROMANS 8:38-39 WHICH SAYS "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."  WE ARE IN JESUS AND JESUS IS IN US.  JOHN 14:20 JESUS SAYS "At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.  JESUS DID IT ALL.  THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN LOSE YOUR SALVATION IS TO PERSONALLY TELL JESUS YOU DO NOT WANT HIM TO BE YOUR  SAVIOR ANY MORE.  HE GAVE US A FREE WILL AND WILL NOT GO AGAINST YOUR WILL.  HE WILL LET YOU GO TO HELL.    



SO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST JESUS, PLEASE BE SURE OF YOUR SALVATION.  IF YOU WERE BORN TWICE, PLEASE DON'T DIE TWICE.  REVELATIONS 21:7-8 SAYS "He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."  YOU DO NOT WANT TO DIE TWICE.  



GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

WAYNE,

THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WILL HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS BUT I LIKE TO TAKE IT FROM HOLY SPIRIT.  I STUDIED UNDER ANDREW WOMMACK AND I THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT THIS.  I WILL QUOTE IT HERE:

No one seeks after God on their own ( Romans 3:11 ). Anyone who desires God and His benefits in their life is doing so under the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, if the Holy Spirit stops wooing a person, they cannot be saved. This is what happens when the Lord gives a person over to a reprobate mind ( Romans 1:28 ). They are eternally damned, because they will not come to the Lord without the influence of the Holy Spirit. People who still desire to be in right relationship with God, regardless of how bad they think their sins are, are showing that Holy Spirit is still dealing with them. Today the church relies more on marketing and gimmicks to draw people than they should. There is a balance, but we should be depending on the Holy Spirit more than we do.

Andrew's Life For Today Study Bible Notes

Note 8

This is one of the great truths of the Bible. Mankind is so destitute that we can’t even seek God on our own. God has to draw us to Himself through the ministry of the Holy Spirit ( John 16:7-11 ). This is why Isaiah admonished us to “seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near” ( Isaiah 55:6 ). We can’t come to God when we get ready. We have to come while He is drawing us. This is why blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unpardonable (see note 1 at   The word “blaspheme” means “1. To speak of (God or a sacred entity) in an irreverent, impious manner. 2. To revile; execrate” (American Heritage Dictionary). In context, Jesus was saying that blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is attributing the working of the Holy Ghost to the devil (<a href="Mark:3:30">Mark 3:30</a>). Many people in the Bible did this, including Saul, who became the Apostle Paul. However, we see in <a href="1_Timothy:1:13">1 Timothy 1:13</a> that Paul said he received mercy concerning his blasphemy because he had done it “ignorantly in unbelief.” Therefore, the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost that Jesus was warning against must be willfully reviling the Holy Ghost with knowledge of what is being done. This parallels <a href="Hebrews:6:4-6">Hebrews 6:4-6</a> where qualifications are placed on who can fall away from grace. That passage shows that only a mature Christian can commit such a thing. Likewise, with blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, rash statements spoken against the Holy Ghost in ignorance or unbelief by those who don’t really know what they are doing can be forgiven. From our human perspective, no clear line can be drawn as to when people become accountable for blasphemies and have committed this unpardonable sin. We can be assured that God knows the hearts of all people and that He will have righteous judgment concerning this. However, God’s Word does show us that when people become “reprobate,” they lose all conviction from God (<a href="Romans:1:28">Romans 1:28</a>). Therefore, those who are convicted and repentant over having possibly blasphemed the Holy Ghost have not yet reached the place where it is unpardonable, or they wouldn’t care.</p>" data-original-title="" title="" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff0000; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 500; background-color: transparent;"> Matthew 12:31 ). Once the Holy Spirit quits dealing with us, we have no hope of repentance or remorse.

YOU WILL NOTICE HE BACKS UP EVERYTHING WITH GOD'S WORD.  I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.  

GOD BLESS YOU,

DAVID
