Make Your Choice Now!

 

 

 

But if you don’t want to worship the Lord, then choose here and now! Will you worship the same idols your ancestors did? Or since you’re living on land that once belonged to the Amorites, maybe you’ll worship their gods. I won’t. My family and I are going to worship and obey the Lord!
Joshua 24:15

The word “choice” is big in today’s world. Many times, it refers to ending the life of an unborn child. Interestingly enough, beginning your life eternally with Jesus is also a choice. You have the choice to see his face, and to be obedient to Him or to turn to your own wicked ways!

You can choose to walk with Him, or you can choose to walk away from Him. Those are your two options. God will encourage you to choose Jesus, but this wicked world will work like the devil to draw you in the opposite direction.

In a sense, the Holy Spirit speaks to your heart every day and expresses his desire that you take steps to Jesus. The enemy of God speaks to your heart as well and wants you to walk away from Jesus. The choice is yours and you will go one way or the other!

There are many today who believe that these days are the Last Days before the return of Jesus! If that is true, there is no time for you to be slow in your response to his loving call. If you have never given your heart to Jesus, do it now and don’t wait because there may not be time to wait, even for an hour!

Lord Jesus. Search my heart today and see if there is any part of it that is not given over to you. If there is any part of my heart that I have kept for my pleasure, I give it to you now and forever. I praise your holy name always! Amen!

Come Lord Jesus

 

 

 

The day of the Lord’s return will surprise us like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a loud noise, and the heat will melt the whole universe. Then the earth and everything on it will be seen for what they are.

Everything will be destroyed. So you should serve and honor God by the way you live. You should look forward to the day when God judges everyone, and you should try to make it come soon. On that day the heavens will be destroyed by fire, and everything else will melt in the heat. But God has promised us a new heaven and a new earth, where justice will rule. We are really looking forward to this!

2 Peter 3:10-13

Jesus said that only God knows when the second coming of Jesus will be. Maybe that is not such a mystery as we have tried to make it. Jesus will return when everything that God wants accomplished is done! 

If Jonah had gone straight to Nineveh instead of taking a detour in the belly of a Great Fish, the time-line might have been different. Jonah’s sin did not change the purpose of God, but the timing changed a bit.

In these verses from 2 Peter 3, the Holy Spirit clearly says that we can hasten the return of the Lord. Our role is to be obedient to Him every moment of every day. Then when everything on earth is done, He will come. 

Even as there is a final shot fired in a war, there will be a final act of obedience that God will use. To repeat the Words of Jesus “It is finished” and then the End will come!

Perhaps that moment will be determined by today’s “Jonah” and whether he goes to Nineveh or spends time in the Great Fish first!

“Lord Jesus, thank You for letting me bask in Your Love so fully expressed on the Cross. Let me know what I can do today to hasten Your return! Praise Your Name Now and Forever. Amen!”

 

FOREVER WITH JESUS!

 

 

In the future, the mountain with the Lord temple will be the highest of all. It will reach above the hills, and every nation will rush to it. People of many nations will come and say, "Let's go up to the mountain of the Lord God of Jacob and worship in his temple."

The Lord will teach us his law from Jerusalem, and we will obey Him. He will settle arguments between distant and powerful nations. They will pound their swords and their spears into rakes and shovels; they will never again make war or attack one another. Everyone will find rest beneath their own fig trees or grape vines, and they will live in peace. This is a solemn promise of the Lord all powerful. 

Micah 4:1-4 CEV 

The Lord himself promises of time of "Peace on Earth." War will come to an end. It will be a season of peace like never before if you want to be a part of what God is doing in the world, let Him put His Peace in your heart! Let the love of God and the peace that passes understanding rule in your life. 

Then you will look at everyone and see them with the eyes of God. The Creator loves every object of his creation. Every human being formed and fashioned in the image of God has a longing place in the heart of the maker of us all. 

Don't fear or panic that the "End of All Things" may be coming soon!  For those who follow Christ it will be the beginning of "Forever with Jesus," and it may be just around the corner!

"Lord Jesus, You are the greatest Peacemaker of all time. Spread Your Love and Peace in the hearts of all those who open the door when they hear You knock. May You, Jesus be praised now and forever? Amen."
