Encouragement
Why so much worry and distraction about celebrating the day of My Birth? When what YOU should be doing is preparing for My Return. Are YOU ready, have YOU been performing the tasks, Good Works, I have created for YOU to do? Have YOU been spending your days, sharing My Words, with everyone YOU possibly can? Have YOU been stopping people, in their tracks, and asking them, if they are prepared for My Return? Have YOU told them, that time is running out, for them to accept My Free Gift of Salvation? That they must make the choice, to be in My Presence, or else, by default, they will remain, away from My Presence, for Eternity. I’m proud of YOU, for wanting to take a day, and celebrate My Birth, because My Birth is part of the story. However, the most important part, of accepting My Free Gift of Salvation, is what everyone should be concentrating on. Explaining why I came, what I shared while here, why I had to die upon The Cross, the importance of My rising from the grave, that all of it, was to Save each of them. How I Love them so much, that I literally died upon The Cross, taking all their sin upon myself, a blood sacrifice, paying the penalty of death, so that each of them could in turn, live. I overcame death, for All My Children, All My Lambs, All My Sheep, so they may rejoice with Me, in My Presence, for Eternity. I stand “at the door of their heart” and knock. I whisper in their ear. I shout their name, from Heaven on high. I know the names of My Children, of My Lambs, of My Sheep, and they know My Voice. Ask them, if they have ever heard of “Salvation”? Has anyone ever shared with them, The Gift, that offers them Eternal Reward? Ask them, if they live for themselves or do they live for God? Explain, that living for God, doesn’t mean simply going to Church on Sunday, and sitting in a pew until service is over. Ask them, if they knew, that it wasn’t only their Pastor’s job, to share the Free Gift of Salvation? Ask them, if they knew, that it is their Pastor’s job to teach everyone in his congregation, how to share the Free Gift of Salvation? As My Children, meaning YOU have accepted My Free Gift of Salvation, it is your job, to share this gift, with others. YOU are to encourage them, to accept My Free Gift of Salvation, and then, when they follow Me, in Believer’s Baptism, to baptize them, in the name of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. I shared this with My Disciples and followers, and I commanded My Disciples to do the same. They were to share with everyone, what it takes to accept My Free Gift of Salvation. As each person accepts My Free Gift of Salvation, they become My Disciples, and should be sharing My Words, through The Holy Bible, to encourage others to do the same, accept My Free Gift of Salvation. Next, explain to them, they are to shine My Light upon the World. Live My Command to “Love on another”, in everything YOU do. Forgive others for any wrongdoings, as I have forgiven YOU. Give, of your time, resources, Spiritual Gifts, etc. without expecting anything in return. Turn away from sin, at every opportunity, I know this will be the most difficult thing, I ask of YOU. When YOU feel the “temptation”, pull Me closer. When YOU have that “desire”, pull Me closer. When YOU feel YOU cannot go on, pull Me closer. Let them know, I am with them, I stand right by their side, when they weep, I weep, when they mourn, I mourn, when they rejoice, I also rejoice. When I Return, like a parent coming home, I will place YOU in from of Me and ask YOU, what have YOU been doing for Me? Have YOU been shining My Light upon the World? When people look at YOU, can they see My Light shining from YOU? Have YOU been living a Life that I would be proud of? Have YOU been treating others, with overwhelming Love, as I have commanded? Have YOU been performing the Good Works, I created specifically, for YOU to do? Have YOU been sharing My Free Gift of Salvation, at every opportunity? Are YOU ready to receive more of My overwhelming Love, than YOU could ever imagine? Are YOU prepared, to be in The Immediate Presence of The Lord God Almighty, for Eternity? Are YOU?
