Excellent Storm Prep

What do we do when a storm is headed our way?

Let’s see.  We tune in to those who have expertise in the science of weather. 
We take in supplies. 
We batten down the hatches so to speak – secure outside objects that could be tossed about and cause damage. 
Some of us do up the laundry. We charge our phones. We locate our flashlights. 
And if we have a generator, we check our supply of fuel. 

We do all this because we believe a storm is headed our way. 

In other words, we take the threat seriously.

A temporal storm that will cause temporal damage to temporal property. 
However, in all this temporal there is the eternal to be considered. 

While a rain, thunder, and wind storm is a temporal occurrence and it may affect, damage, even destroy temporal property; it can do more — it can permanently end this temporal journey on planet earth for you, me, and/or the people we love. 
Then what? 

When a temporal event brings eternity into view — what then?

How do we prepare for the everlasting storm? 
It’s not one, One really wants to ride out, is it? 

Hell, I mean. The everlasting storm. 

Have you listened to The Expert about this eternal firestorm?
Have you as did the Five wise virgins purchased all the Oil you need to keep your lamp burning so the storm will pass you by? (I am referring to Matthew 25)

Storms. 
It’s important that we prepare, don’t you think? 

I suspect that many of you have exchanged your sins for the Righteousness of JESUS and I am rejoicing with you! 

IF, however, you have not and IF you can still HEAR the Voice of HOLY SPIRIT convicting you of your sins and your need of The Savior — that’s excellent!
It’s not too late for you — you can today, repent, trust and receive forgiveness, assurance, and deliverance in JESUS’ NAME. 

Allow me to give you an excellent link to an 
excellent illustration that has been an excellent help to me. Click HERE.

Yes. There is a temporal storm headed our way tonight and I am working on the laundry and my phone is charging — Ipad too.

Or perhaps Good morning, my Friends.

This is the day The LORD has made and we will be glad and rejoice in it. Psalm 118:24

Even though most of this Tuesday is far spent.

Was it a productive day? 
Can we in good conscience say it was a day well-pleasing to The LORD; this is an important question, don’t you think? 

Now for some good news.
To each of us who will/have awakened to a new Wednesday — there is a fresh supply of Father’s mercies.

Perhaps just that thought will make our sleep peaceful tonight.

22 The Lord’s acts of mercy indeed do not end, For His compassions do not fail.
23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.  source

 

2022, It's a Bonus Post, Just Chatty Today, Questions

Appropriated

Leave a comment

I have a list. 
A written list of people in my life, family, close and beloved friends, some close acquaintances, some people that friends have asked me to remember in prayer, and folks I have yet to meet but have found their way to my list. 
I regularly open this list, read their names, if I can visualize their faces, and I pray for them.

Today is a particularly sobering day with my list. 
Many of those names coming before me today give me no confidence of salvation for them.
I said to Father I want to see evidence of salvation.
I want to see fruit meet for repentance – fruit that is evidence that they are saved, that they have been delivered from Darkness to Light. 
I am confident they know. I am confident they have heard the Gospel – repeatedly. 
And then a word came  — appropriated. 

Appropriated is a tricky word. 
I looked it up.

At first glance, it looks like a word not applicable but on closer examination, it surely is just the word. 

You see it does mean to take or make use of without authority or right.
And in that sense, it is way not applicable. 

But it also means to take exclusive possession of 

And that does fit. So fits!

I think many people, lots and lots of people – particularly Americans, have heard the Gospel over and over.
They are so very aware that JESUS is the Son of GOD.
They are so very aware that He died and even rose again – they celebrate Easter and Christmas.
So they have heard. They know. But they don’t know. 
They don’t know because they have not APPROPRIATED the Gospel to THEMSELVES. 

JESUS has not become personal to them. He is not THEIR Savior, He’s just the One who claims to be the Savior of the world. 

This means these precious, loved people are still LOST. 
And this disturbs me – greatly! 

Do you have people in your life this way too?
What do you do?

I Need to Pray with You

Leave a comment

Father GOD, thank You that You shall yet send The LORD of GLORY to this earth again; that He will live and reign here as He deserves, and thank You for every son and daughter that will see that glorious day. 
Holy Spirit, I have read that it is Your will and Your mission to convict and convince humans of sin, of righteousness and judgment to come, I pray, I pled for You to do this for the many people loved by not only myself but all who come here to read and pray. I do not pretend to know Your timing; I do not pretend to know the future timing of those things You have told us shall be, I wait for You to do as You have promised and warned that You would. I am aware that people are perishing daily. Even so, I know that is not Your will for You have said it is not Your will that any should perish. So thank You for Your mercy, thank You for Your gifts of conviction and repentance; thank You for seeking out the Lost, thank You for rescuing every willing soul from pits of sin. I pray, Father, to see a harvest of souls. I pray to see people rescued and delivered from the kingdom of darkness into Your glorious Light.  Amen and amen based solely on the Merits of JESUS the MESSIAH. 

John 16:8 
2 Peter 3:9
2 Corinthians 4:4

This is the GOD to whom we pray:

How could we not?
How could we not seek Him?
What could be more than HE?
