day 18: Luke 12:37-38;40  Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.  Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. 1John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

The day of the Lord, for most Christians as well as Muslims, is the most awaited day of all. On this day all the questions stop, and all mouths will drop, what expression would you have? John told it like this Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.  Written in the book of Revelation to reveal to all what's going to come, are you ready.   

That glorious day is coming, are we waiting like anxious children, or are we living like that day will never happen.  He is coming like a thief in the night an hour you least expect, are you ready? God willing we all are, so in the mean time I will do what Paul did;1 Corinthians 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. 1 Corinthians 9:14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

God prepares us everyday for every encounter, and for every option in that encounter, all we have to do is Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. James 1:12-15 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Ephesians 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

All basis covered, think before you speak, do to others as you want done unto yourselves, and after you have done all you can to stand, Be still, and know that he is God.

A relationship with heaven is a blessing in itself, imagine being in paradise forever in His presence, I can only smile, and hope....

day 17: Matthew 4:3-4 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

It was written in the book of Deuteronomy 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. We all are a living testimony, as we live a story is told, what do they say about you, I ask myself every day, so I watched the response I was given from others, and I realized I am in control of me if I say I believe in God and respond in a way were people around you questioned what you've done, listen first to all then be wise in all things in return and watch and listen. We are now being still and knowing that He is God.


He is the Creator, why not do what he says.
We live in a world that pick and choose, still we keep choosing to do it our way, Jesus Christ said I am the way the truth and the life. Peter said Jesus left an example for all of us to follow. John wrote to be in the world but not of the world and Moses wrote of I will never leave you nor forsake you.

We can choose to be obedient and follow The Shepherd and Bishop of our souls, or we can follow Lucifer and be that disobedient child that face the wrath of God. It is written, It is torment in this hell. God the Father is opening his heart to us every day, why do we choose to deny the greatest gift of all, to serve and praise and honour the Creator of existence, knowingly that God will punish the wicked and continue therein in our own vomit, knowingly, I'm not that brave.  For he is just to be feared, and loved, great and mighty is our God.

day 16: John 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

You see we all have choices to make here, to be good or evil, with the understanding that we all are held accountable for what we do. A perfect example of this is in Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account in thereof in the day of judgment.

The question is then do you believe Him?

day 15: Luke 6:46-48 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

Who  we believe in, will determine every soul's outcome, Jesus Christ as well as Moses said man is to live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord. Whether we believe it or not every soul will be judged by Jesus Christ and whether we believe or not we will be judged. Life is precious, for by the breath of God do we live, yet to do what he says, we offer excuses rather than gratitude.

Do we plan on taking a bag of excuses unto the Lord, or are we going to listen and follow his footsteps. Do those things that are pleasant in his sight, for he is everywhere. Ephesians 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. There, Jesus said it now what, good deeds is profitable if it is done in his name not yours, remember, 1 Corinthians 1:29 That no flesh shall glory in his presence. That removes the long speachess, not my will but thine will shall be done. Learn of his will, seek him while he may be found. 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of the Christ depart from iniquity. Matthew 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. All bases are covered, what do you do now?  Come learn of me all ye that are heavy laden, he never intended for you to go about it alone. For without me you can do nothing. He never said it will be easy, for you shall go through tribulations, then he reminds you I have also overcome the world. Without faith it will be impossible, and without a relationship with the Lord whom is the judge he said away from me ye workers of iniquity for I never knew you. Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me. Imagine that, an open invitation, will you come?

He's knocking at the door, will you let him in, and give him a chance to save you from yourselves, Amen.

day 14: Mark 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. Mark 1:14-15 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God. And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
The Lord Jesus Christ preached repentance, John the Baptist preached repentance, what happened to the preachers of today, without repentance their is no remorse for your sins, meaning no heartfelt forgiveness for a broken and contrite spirit is what God wants for without their is no true I'm sorry meaning we will repeat the same mistakes meaning we learned nothing.
True forgiveness meaning remember your sins no more, don't we all hate when somebody say I'm sorry but then a short time later we perform a repeat performance of the same thing sometimes worse than the last.
God knows your heart, and wants the entire world to believe in Jesus Christ whom God the Father sent to teach and show that which God expects from us all, most importantly obedience to every commandment and every word that proceeded out of his mouth. For he that God sends speaks that of God.
Jesus preached repentance why don't we listen, why call him Lord if his word mean nothing to you, then in the event that it does mean something, then God willing, do what it say, don't be hearers only but doers also.  Amen.

Look in the mirror and ask yourself have I even tried.
