Word For 2/24/2022
“And now, compelled by The SPIRIT, I am going to Jerusalem, I don’t know what will happen to me there, other than in every city the HOLY SPIRIT keeps warning me that imprisonment and persecution await me. But I consider my own life of no importance to me whatsoever, as long as I can finish the course ahead of me, the task I received from The LORD JESUS – to declare in depth The Good News of GOD’s Love and Kindness.” Acts 20:22-24
“As we go on in the Christian Life it gets simpler, because we are less inclined to say, ‘Now why did GOD allow this and that?’”
Oswald Chambers
Or, at least we should grow in our trust in GOD so that we no longer ask, “Why did GOD allow this or that?” I fear that Western Christians in general are not prepared for what is expected of us as Christians. It’s not just that there is a lack of Unity in the Western Church but that many Christians seem to want to not do what CHRIST commanded. Many are willing to go to Church on Sunday and give money to support their Church and it ministries; and they believe they are doing their part of evangelism and missions. But they don’t tell their friend, neighbors, co-workers and sometimes even their family about Salvation only through JESUS and that they are going to hell. Why? Because talking about religion and politics is taboo! They don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings or jeopardize their relationship or position.
“Heaven on earth” “Is a choice you make, not a place you find!”
Matthew 6:10 “Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.”
“Before you pray ‘Your Kingdom come…” you should pray ‘My kingdom go!’”
Be Challenged, Pastor Bob Harris
I have heard the testimony of those who, because of what GOD did for them, they are compelled (like Paul) to love and serve GOD in whatever way He commands. I have not always followed GOD’s command for my life, but more and more I am feeling the compelling need too.
Seek GOD First!
GOD Bless, Bob & Charlene
