Mission Conference at Fellowship Baptist Church starts TODAY!
It is a blessing to see churches that support missionaries at home and to many countries of the world.
Most people cannot go away from their home base but everyone can support missions by going to conferences, praying and giving.
God’s Word tells us to go into all the world to tell people about Jesus.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15
If we are having a problem with temptation, there is only one way we can conquer that temptation. The Bible calls it the lust of the flesh.
We overcome temptation by walking in the spirit. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, the Holy Spirit comes and dwells in us.
Then we have a choice. We can listen to that sometimes still small voice, or we can ignore it.
To walk in the Spirit we must learn to listen to Him, then He will help us to turn from our temptation. He will make a way to escape. We must choose to take it.
The more we read the Bible, particularly prophecy, we realize that we are living in a time that Jesus may come to catch up (rapture) those of us who are saved.
What happens to the people who do not know Jesus as their Savior? Terrible time of suffering, pain and loss of everything unless they worship the anti-Christ. Once they do that they are doomed forever and will be cast into the lake of fire at the judgment along wit him and his demons.
The time to accept Jesus is now. Waiting is dangerous. None of us has any promise of tomorrow. Illness and accidents happen no matter what our age.
Do not wait any longer. Accept Jesus today.
Going to church today? That is good, but do you have a close love relationship with Jesus?
Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Tracts are very effective. Many Christians have been saved reading a tract, either along with someone witnessing or them or picking one up and reading it on their own.
Carolyn Curtis is a good example. She was given a tract the morning she was on the way to Niagara Falls to end her life. While getting up the courage to jump in, she read the tract, prayed the prayer on the back and was gloriously saved. Since that time many have come to the Lord through her witness.
One tract can change a life. You can be the one to give a tract to someone in person, leave one in the restroom, at a store, restaurant or any public place. Put one in a library book, in a shoe box at a shoe store.
Be creative. Think of a place to leave a tract and pray someone will find it who needs the Lord. It is a life changing opportunity.
Planning is something most people do to make sure they stay on task.
GOD has plans for each of us too. In the Scriptures, Jeremiah speaks of thoughts the Lord has for us, plans of peace and prosperity.
But did you realize that Satan has plans for you as well? Satan is after your name and reputation. When you wake up every morning, he has already plotted how to come against you that day.
You have a choice. Whose plan are you going to follow? Call on the Lord for help and guidance in every day.
Justified. What does that mean. If we have accepted Jesus as our Savior, it means in God’s eyes that we have never sinned.
God sees us through the blood of Christ. All our sin has been washed away.
Are you justified? If not ask Jesus to forgive you of all your sin. Believe that Jesus died on the cross, was buried and rose again on the third day. Repent of all your sin and begin a new life following Our Savior.
God is preparing a place for those of us who has accepted Jesus as our Savior.
We. Can be 100% sure we will go to Heaven.
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
“That if thou shall confess with thy mouth and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him (Jesus) from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
Romans 10:9
“For whosoever (you) shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.”Romans 10:13
Why is it important to allow God to direct our steps?
We make wrong decisions when we do not pray and seek God’s will for our lives.
How can we know which way to go? God will never take us anywhere that is against the principles in the Bible.
God will not lead us to walk with companions who are living in sin.
He will open the right doors for us to go through and shut the doors if it is not His will for us.
Conclusion: Pray, Read and study the Bible, Ask advice from people who are close to God, Seek friendships of people who love the Lord.
Who can you fully trust in? Family and friends may fail you but, Jesus never fails. The Bible tells us to trust in Jesus with all our heart.
What we think about is also very important. Philippians 4:9 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things
Two last lessons from a children’s song.
Oh be careful little heart whom you trust
Oh be careful little heart whom you trust
For the father up above is looking down in love
So be careful little heart whom you trust
Oh be careful little mind what you think
Oh be careful little mind what you think
For the father up above is looking down in love
So be careful little mind what you think
