NEW LIFE – A MONTH OF VERSES: JANUARY 24, 2017
Wednesday, January 25th, 2017
VERSE: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter”.(Matthew 7:21)
EQUATION: A person + Not born again in this Life = Eternally Separated from God on Judgment Day
PRAYER: Oh great God and Father in Heaven, Who has given ALL men the means by which we must be saved, we cry out right now, first on our own behalf, that we are 100% right with You, that our sins are forgiven and that we have been accepted into the Family of God through accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Master of our lives. We pray now, for those who have deluded themselves their entire lives, and we pray that they, while there is still breath in their bodies, that they come to a realization of their lost estate before You. Lord we pray they have that moment, or they may even encounter someone who will cause a pause for reflection that if they were to stand before You and You would ask them “why they should be let into Heaven”, that the right answer will be given. Father, so many people think they are Christians or going to Heaven, because they prayed a sinner’s prayer or went to church on Christmas Day or that they were born in a certain country. Open their eyes Lord! Open their dark hearts that they may see themselves as they truly are, before it is too late for them and bring their first awakening of the spirit in the inner man, that leads to repentance and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and ruler of their lives. We pray and cry out right now, in His Precious and Holy Name, amen and amen.
EITHER JESUS IS LORD….OR YOU ARE!

Not a day goes by when I don’t give thanks, from the very depths of my being, in which I don’t KNOW that CHRIST THE KING is MY LORD, period! I am His bond slave (doulos) and He is my Master!
A few years ago, I was standing feet away from popular Christian singer Natalie Grant when she practically yelled “I am sick and tired of people who say ‘YOU’RE GOING TO HELL IF YOU DON’T REPENT'”!!
Those were the saddest words I ever heard. Yet, this is not only the pervasive view of most evangelical churches, but the limp-wristed Emerging church of Rob Bell, Brian MacLaren, Doug Kimball and Solomon’s Porch Paggett, at the other extreme as well. This is the doctrine of “Easy Believism”….the belief that costs you nothing.
“BUT WAIT – isn’t SALVATION a FREE GIFT, you pinhead Bernie”? Er…YES!! But it cost my Lord Jesus everything! AND even a proud Seminary dropout like me knows what Mark 1:15c ESV means!!! It says “…Repent and believe in the Gospel“!!! I didn’t say that, JESUS DID, Natalie! Before that, in the same verse He said “The Kingdom of God is at hand”!
THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND
