Time to get right with God

I have the missing O cap on my keyboard. Therefore, there are times when I am typing the letter O when it doesn’t strike or goes into a mania of ooooooo all at once. After being reminded that I have placed the O cap in a safe place, so I can try once again to snap it together and jogging my memory bank; I discover I cannot remember where I saved it.  Following an in depth self conversation of how: after all; the whole incident is a small thing and when I keep typing on the little knob without the cap in place; I find that I’ve gotten used to the incompleteness of my keyboard; even though the pointy knob that is sticking up, pricks my finger each time, and every time that happens; it causes just enough pain to let me know; “things are not right.”

The measure of the quality of our lives will be to the assessment of our decisions. We can get used to things that aren’t right in our life, if we ignore them long enough.  The small prick like the pointy knob on the O key pricks in our flesh and yet, we just allow something like that to stay in our lives.

The same can be said about our consciences. When we are doing something we shouldn’t be doing we can feel that prick in our conscience and many times; we accept it because we have allowed it to become a part of our lives.

Today, I ask that we search our lives and our hearts together. Be honest with God and get whatever rubbish that you’ve allowed to stay inside of your hearts out. Now is the time to get right with God more than any other time. 

Jesus said:

16“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17“For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18“He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19“This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. 20“For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21“But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.” John 3:16-21

If you have been procrastinating in coming to the Lord or coming back to the Lord, I urge you not to delay your decision any further. Not one of us know what will happen in our lives one hour from now or even 5 minutes from now. It makes no difference where you are, call upon Jesus now. When you pray, He reads your heart.

Jesus said:

“Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26

Pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

We give you honor and praise this morning. You are the only one worthy of this praise. We bow before you this morning.

We ask for strength for those who have taken the time to agree with this prayer.  We ask for a move in hearts. We ask that you would blow your spirit of repentance upon their hearts and wash them with your word. We ask that you would give them a new heart and understanding of your love and resurrection power. We ask that your Holy Spirit would help them in their lives to tear down old habits and replace them with the new ones. Give them a new eye view -  your eye view. Give them a hunger and thirst for your word. We ask for deliverance from anything that would keep your people from zealously walking in your will. We ask that you would forgive us, from all pride, selfishness, any religiosity and legalism and not listening to our conscience. We choose to forgive and root out all bitterness, (name your own problems) We let them all go today! NOW!  We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, we believe he died for our sins, we believe he was resurrected on the 3 day and seen by over 500 people. We believe he is the only way to you Father. We trust in you with everything that we have and we ask that you would continual to guide and direct us.  

IN Jesus name we pray

amen
