will you be happy about the way you lived today....?
.......or will you wish you had one more day to live?
.......as did a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
.......And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
.......And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: .......the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments,
.......and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
.......And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me,
.......and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
.......But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. (KJV) Luke 16:20-25.
.......How are you living your life today....?
.......You may not have picked a fine time to leave Lucille....4 hungry children and the crop still in the field.....
.......What is you answer?
.......Have you not heard from your god?
.......of the masonic lodge or at the shrine temple or tootsie's orchid lounge or at the makin' em everyday manufacturing company or the stock broker or at the bingo game?
.......Not your lucky (strike) day...huh?
.......Is your lord chesterfield getting behind in his power to relax...(I have heard that you will be allowed to smoke all you want in hell....but, you must take them with you when you go).
.......What did you say?
.......you want to commune with your lord black jack?
.......You love television huh?
.......well, it will all be in flaming colors for your viewing!
.......and pornography, you ll get to see all the perverted nakedness, the depravity, the aid diseased infected bodies you'll ever want to see!
.......stars? plenty of them....the great and the small, all socializing together....clothed the same..... with the cloak of sin (death) but, never dying....the worm never dies.
.......Oh, they did tell you (and you believed it) that you were going to be raptured out of here?
.......so don't worry about all this................
.......It's for them other folks.....right?
.......You'll be gone from here.... Well you may be gone all right....it may not be like the way they told you or at the time table they had figured out.
.......but now don't think you are the first one or that you will be the last.....(The rich man in all his sumptuous living got his startlingly revelation just one day too late....as have many, many others.........they were presented it....laid right at the front gate but didn't get it....do you get it?
.......Well, you say you don't want to talk about it?
.......even if it's your last day before you wake up dead.....
.......you say you would rather talk about something religious like, "where did Cain get his wife?" .......or Is speaking in tongues (other languages) important or really necessary today?
.......It's probably not, if you are not going to some foreign country many of you would probably say, and others would say to do so would be to blaspheme because it is of the devil or that it went away with the Apostles.
.......you see how we can get religious
.......and get diverted from the real thing?
.......You say you want to spend your last day learning more of the scriptures...religiously like it is?
....... is it, or is it not, ok to play a piano in Church?
.......or studying the dead seas scrolls?......or trying to find Noah's ark?.......or is it scriptural (or not ) to tithe today?.......Should the choir wear robes....the Priest collars?.......Is it ok to have communion on Thursdays 5am, real wine or grape kool aid....one cup or one for each?
.......services on the first day of the week or everyday? .......prayer meetings at Churches only?.......or are homes and laundromats acceptable?
.......Now you say you wouldn't mind going to one of those meetings where everybody laughs?
.......not funny where your at.......huh?
.......or would you rather have some good ole offending "hell fire and damnation preaching?"
.......well at least then you could say you had been told what to expect when you do wake up dead!
.......You say you would rather be laid up in a hospital bed, nursing home, jail, deserted, all alone in a death cell?
.......you say you could make the right choice now....next time?
.......you didn't know that an ignored decision was the same as a saying no decision?
.......Who, besides you, would really care, if you wake up dead tomorrow? .......be truthful?
.......ole "so and so" would, are you sure? .......be truthful.........do they really care?
.......Look at who the rich man saw and called for mercy and help from.....the beggar!....the one he could have helped everyday until the last day before he woke up dead!
.......He didn t call for his mistress, his secretary, his neighbors wife, his bankers, his accountants, his dream team lawyers (no appeal courts there).
.......he never once expressed any thoughts about his homosexual friends and lovers....his abusers of themselves, the defilers of the temple, the masturbator, his lesbian entertainment......he didn t call for a one of his last day friends and companions.
.......all he knew was that it was just as hot-as-hell and miserable and he wanted just one cool drop of water.....and when he realized there was no possibility of change forever...and ever........he asked for someone to go back and warn his family.....
.......and he was told that they would not believe, even though, someone came back from the grave!
.......I tell you..... it will be hard to find somebody that is willing (or already has) to die for you.....
.......and one, for sure, already has............His Name is Jesus.
.......He cared enough to die two thousand years ago just so that if you wake up dead tomorrow....you could be happy with the way you lived today............and certainly where you will live throughout eternity.
.......Will you believe?
.......if someone tells you today...........before you awake up dead tomorrow....
.......The price has already been paid for your eternity' s "stay"
.......if hell is to be your " home" you' ve paid the price.
.......if Heaven, Jesus has already paid the price, but, you must accept.
.......Will you believe?
Will you repent...today?
A word from the Publisher....
Revival....Experiencing God....an outpouring.... The Book of Joel comes alive in Ninety-five.....
March 1, 1995 at a Southern Baptist Church In Brownwood, Texas, the presence of God becomes a reality and the Spirit of God as it always does points to Jesus and not Himself or man and true heart felt repentance comes to a congregation and the entire Church is affected and lives are forever changed and it spills over to other Churches and other cities and now fast moving throughout the nation.
A true move of God that is spread by the Holy Spirit.....relies not on man to come to some designated city or part of the world that is not accessible but to a small percentage of the masses....it needs no man to come and get it and take it back to hometowns in hope that it will be contagious and activate itself when presented in some man oriented presentation and says now "feel it" .... now "receive it" ...it is coming to those that have sought the Lord according to 2 Chron. 7:14.... when my people who are called by name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
This great move of God in a little over 30 days has progressed to many Churches and although it started in the Southern Baptist Churches it has crossed denominational lines and has seen entire Church services spent in crying out to the Lord and repenting of sin and God has renewed what was once dry and barren....there can be no cries of falseness, that has been said of other movements, where the characteristics are formulas, some things, such as laughing, and other manifestations that has to have the cooperation of the flesh and points towards flesh and not to Jesus and the Cross.
Repentance was the preaching by another Baptist named John when Jesus came upon the scene...and I have preached that this will be the forerunner again to bring back the Ministry of Jesus....flesh will not do it.
I see the womb of the barren Church today as John' s mother was, impregnated by the seed of flesh....and then there is Mary, the mother of Jesus, conceived by the Holy Spirit....and it' s conceiving now in the Churches....all that are willing to repent. Thanks Southern Baptists for Experiencing God! Thank you Lord Jesus!
