This Ministry. is located in a region of United States commonly referred to as Tornado Alley. Television and Radio stations do a pretty good job of warning people when conditions exist for the formation of a tornado. Sometimes tornadoes touch down and begin a destructive journey through residential areas. Alarms blare to warn people to take cover.
These warnings may not be heard by many because:
- Some may have their televisions or radios turned off.
- Some may be sleeping.
- Others will not hear these warnings because they are tuned into channels that do not carry any emergency warnings.
- Still, others hear it all but choose to hope that it will all go away.
In which category are you?
In all cases people fail to take the necessary precautions to safeguard themselves and family members against impending danger.
Result?
Entire neighborhoods are destroyed. Lives are lost. In the aftermath, people ask, what could have been done to prevent this disaster? This question is especially hunting if some of the people who lost their lives actually did take cover after they heard the warnings. Fact is, they did not have the right protection. Many cannot afford it.
If you died today, are you sure that your eternal soul will be at peace with God?
You see, man is on a collusion course with time. No one is guaranteed a tomorrow. NO ONE! Men and Women of God have been warning people for centuries that there is a real danger of losing one's eternal soul. Many have died and will spend eternity in hell. Millions more will follow suit because:
- They've turned deaf ears to the messages.
- For some, the cares of this life have weighed them down.
- Others are pursuing false teachings and are deeply immersed in religiosity.
- Still, others hear it all but choose to entertain a false hope that chances are there really is no God. But according to The Bible, The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” (Psalm 14:1 NIV*)
In which category are you?
In all cases people fail to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves and family members from the wrath to come. Entire families will go to hell. Some will have heard the Gospel and taken some steps they "felt" were necessary to save them. What did they miss?
If you died today, are you sure that your eternal soul will be at peace with God?
People hate to talk about death. Life is sweet so no one really wants to die. But the Bible does say that:
... it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment ... (Hebrews 9:27 NKJV**)
It is imperative that we plan ahead since no man knows when that appointed time (to die) is. If there is going to be a judgement, that means a trial has already taken place. Right?
Do you have an attorney? A lawyer? An advocate?
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (1 John 2:1-2 KJV**)
This is the time to be assured of the "NOT GUILTY" verdict.
What can you do to prevent this impending doom? Do you have the Right Protection?
There is a way.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me..." (John 14:6 NIV*)
The Bible says:
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God. (John 3:18-21 NIV*)
It's time to make your reservation. It's FREE you know!
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom 6:23 KJV***)
As you continue on this collusion course with time, one of two things will most certainly happen.
Either: 1. You will die.
Or: 2. Jesus will come back.
In either case, do you see yourself as a citizen of the Kingdom of God?
Or are you going to be deported to hell "Where", according to Jesus, "their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."???? (Mark 9:44 KJV***)
I honestly pray you choose to be with Jesus.
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 NIV*)
Because our hope is in Christ, when loved ones pass away, and we know they believed in Christ, we have a completely different perspective of where they are. We do not grieve as though they are lost. We celebrate their life.
Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-15 NIV*)
If you have never given your life to Christ, now is the time. I'll pray this prayer with you. As we pray, believe it. Do not simply SAY a prayer. Speak to your Father in heaven because He has been longing to hear from you.
The Bible says ...
That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame. For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. (Romans 10:9-13 NIV*)
Ready?
Dear Father,
I thank you for my life. Your Word says that if I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord, and if I believe in my heart that You have raised Him from the dead, then I will be saved.
- Right now Father, I truly confess that Jesus is Lord.
- I believe that You my God Almighty raised Him from the dead.
- I believe He died on the cross for my sins.
- I now ask for your forgiveness for all the things I've done wrong in my life.
- I now accept Your forgiveness.
Thank you Jesus for taking my punishment.
I now freely receive your gift of salvation.
Take control of my life dear Holy Spirit of God.
Thank you Father. From this day forth, I am Yours.
In Jesus' Name.
Amen.

If you truly prayed that prayer with me, I'm sure only you can tell the weight that has been lifted off your life. Get used to the joy. Most importantly, find a Church that preaches and teaches the WORD.
Tell your friends and loved ones. Trust God to keep you.
I'd love to hear from you.
Remain blessed,
