Awesome and Holy God, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, praise You for gathering us together in fellowship and worship on this Holy day. We are not blind, O' Lord, being witness of the movement of Your mighty hand, generating open doors for advancement of Your will, closing other doors preventing more wrongful progress.

MESSAGE
DIVISION. Every direction I look today there is DIVISION. Not just perceivable and definable division, but in your face anger and deep seated hatred. From the late 1960's to this very day, we have watched a slow-motion removal of the "Spiritual Magnetism" of our Moral Compass. Its like our common Lodestone was drained of it's magnetic properties; God's given internal tool that points to righteousness. As we look into the bezel to establish our direction, our reference, the compass needle is constantly moving, never remaining constant. The "Magnetism" missing is our belief and trust in God. The scary part is that what we are seeing and experiencing is not just in the United States, it is popping-up all around the globe! The long hidden stuff we are presently finding is like a bad dream, except day by day these are proving to be hard reality!
Before I continue to wander down this crooked and weed covered trail, take note, this IS NOT A POLITICAL argument! It is BIBLICAL. What we are finding valid and overwhelming evidence of wrong doing. The results are either WRONG or RIGHT. No middle ground. Righteousness Vs. Evil.
It really does not take a rocket scientist or a PhD of Theology to see that what has developed is different. Something new has slithered into the land, quietly and by-enlarge unseen. Now that we recognise the horror of discovery, this demands attention.
Chapter 12 of the Gospel of Luke has begun flashing like a neon sign; "Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit. "Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks.- "Luk 12:35-36 NKJV} I think that most of you know exactly what the Lord is announcing. He is really, really close and we had better be ready when the Trumpet and Shofar begins to sound. "Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.- {Luk 12:38 NKJV}
While this message goes out through the world, the following event occurs, over and over again; "Come," one says, "I will bring wine, And we will fill ourselves with intoxicating drink; Tomorrow will be as today, And much more abundant." {Isa 56:12}
Jesus was clear and to the point when he was addressing the various multitudes often gathered before him; Luk 12:51-53 "Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division; for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three. "They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law." Look around. What do you see? {NKJV}
The Lord is delivering a clear warning of what is about to unfold. Listen to this in Mat 16:2-3 NKJV; [Jesus] said to them, "When it is evening you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red'; and in the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.
You remember that old Sailor's poem from many years ago; RED SKIES IN MORNING, SAILOR TAKE WARNING. RED SKIES AT NIGHT A SAILOR'S DELIGHT! If you have not REPENTED and received Jesus Christ as your SAVIOR, I urge you to do so today, right now, this very minute. Do not delay!
For those in whom the Spirit of God lives, open your eyes to what is demanded of you! SHARE the beauty and Glory of being BORN AGAIN. To becoming a new person through the blood of our Lord Jesus. Share with your neighbor your personal story of SALVATION. How it was that YOU CAME TO THE LORD. It is your story. It is truth. It is beauty and it should be shared. No one can tell your story like you can tell it. It happened to you. Just share it! The Lord will do the rest!! "Be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect." {Luk 12:40 NKJV}
SUMMARYThe message today is not that much different than the message delivered in this very same room five years ago in 2020. We have all watched these hurtful, deceptive, and down right EVIL practices develop and advance in full view! It is not like we did not know what was going on, or what it's eventual impact would be, WE DID! We the church that belongs to Jesus Christ stayed silent. Many didn't even pray. We became part of the problem, quietly pretending that somehow the LORD would solve the problem. The Bible says...HE WILL!
Paul writes in 1Thes 4: 13-18; But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these words. {NASB}
God's solution is coming in the clouds. Lets make sure our celestial bags are packed and ready to go!
The Church must not remain silent. The Church needs to speak boldly and clearly that there is a great difference between GOOD and EVIL, RIGHT and WRONG. There is no middle ground in between, it is one or the other. Children of God must never compromise.
CLOSING PRAYER
Lord, From the first SIN committed in the Garden of Eden, mankind has demonstrated his keen ability to take what was gifted to him by you, his Creator, and fashion that same gift as rebellion to authority. From the garden to the great flood, to the captivity and entry into the Promised Land, mankind rebelled. Even Your only begotten Son, Jesus was challenged. His sacrifice has torn the veil top to bottom granting unfettered access to Your mighty throne and Your promise of eternal life. Thank-You Jesus, AMEN
DOXOLOGY
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, Ye heaven-ly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen
THE CALL
If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come into me, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN
If you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom 10:9 KJV -That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. }
Waste no time in finding like minded folks, to fellowship with, who also know the lord Jesus. Be introduced to a church that preaches the BIBLE. Email me. Begin the journey that you will never tire of; the discovery of the Majesty, Beauty and loving Power of Jesus the Christ. Welcome to the family!
