"Blessings"
(Follow God)


(29) “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God (30) will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.”(Luke 18:29-30)


"Seek ye first the kingdom of God". God asks us to follow him, to fulfill our purpose. If we leave everything and follow him, we sometimes feel like we are making sacrifices to do so. Jesus says that we will receive many times what we give up. We will receive these things in heaven and on earth.


Thanks for these verses God. This is very comforting to those who are struggling with what they have to give up. But we will find that serving him fulltime is a real pleasure. We will be blessed many times over.


Dear God, thank you for these two verses. They are uplifting and comforting. Thank you, Amen.

"Be Ready"
(Rapture)


26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. --Luke 17:26-27


We will be taken up like lightning, with not a second to spare. Those who are not in the Body of Christ will still be here, and those in the body of Christ will be taken away. The rapture will be a VERY rude awakening to those who will be left back on earth.


I know that I am saved. My mission is now to get those that I love and those that are simply friends and acquaintences to be aware that they need to be born again. To share the gospel with everyone that I know. Allow the Holy Spirit to work on them, but we need to share the good news.


Mighty Father of God, please help me to share the good news with everyone that I know. Give me the wisdom, knowledge and the courage to shre the good news with others. Amen.
