~IF YOU HAD A FEW HOURS TO LIVE~

I am curious........please particitpate

IF you knew that you only had a few hours to live and could preach a sermon, please tell me what you would say!

Imagine with me, if you would...... everyone you had ever wanted to talk to about the Lord in your life (past or present) was all in one room and you had the platform..........

Write up a little speech and tell us all here what you would say to them since this would be your last chance!!!!

COME ON, DON'T BE SHY!!!

The one true eternal God who made everything and who always has and always will live forever sent Jesus who alone is God to be punished for our badness by his death on the cross.Through his death, our wrongdoings were and are forgiven. Then he returned to life so that those who believe in him and turn away from their bad ways may also live again forever in perfect happiness and peace. Know that you are bad, believe in Jesus and turn away from your bad ways

In a few hours, I'm about to leave this present world and enter into eternity. The countdown has begun...and I couldn't be more excited. You see, I'm about to trade this mortal, sinful flesh with a glorious new body that will live forever.

But it's not just about my exchanging mortality with immortality, because each of you will do the same thing. Anyone who has ever been born into this world--yes, even those who never made it out of their mother's womb for whatever reason--will exist forever in eternity. The question isn't IF you'll live forever; the question is WHERE will you live forever.

Hell is as real as Heaven. But thanks to God who gave His Son and purchased my salvation, and thanks to those who preached the "good news" to me, hell has no claim on me. Heaven will be my eternal home.

I am about to step off into an eternity filled with more love and peace and LIFE than I have ever known it here. How do I know that? Because He has promised. Because He has said it in His Word, and His will and His Word are one.

He said in His Word that He has gone on before me to prepare a place for me that where He is, I will be, also. And that's where I'm going. I'm going home, ya'll. I'm going home.

And more than anything right now, I want you to go with me. Maybe not right now, but whenever your time here is finished, too. You see, maybe you thought of me as a religious person or someone who had all these crazy ideas about spiritual things. I know you thought I was nuts when you caught me praying in tongues one day, Mr. Wright. (That's my landlord.) But do you know what I was doing? I was interceeding for my dear friend, Tammy...the one who's dealt with horrible health issues for over 22 years of her young life.

And, Mr. Wright, I've prayed for you, too. I know you laughed at my friend when he asked you if you wanted to be born-again. But Jesus said, except a man be born-again, he will not ever see the kingdom of God. You have to be born from above, Mr. Wright. Any good deed you may have done is still nothing more than filthy rags compared to what it takes to get into heaven.

But that's what is so great about the "great substitute." The Lord Jesus did what you and I could never do. He became sin so that we could have His righteousness. He took His very own blood and sprinkled it on the mercy seat in Heaven. And by that, the way has forever been opened to allow us access to our Heavenly Father. He was rejected so you and I wouldn't have to be.

Thank you for being my friends. Thank you for putting up with the different things that weren't always so Christ-like in my life. Thanks for looking past some of the stupid and foolish things I did.

Thanks, Mom and Dad, for doing the best you knew to do. Thank you for taking me to church with you. Thanks, Mom, for teaching me about tithing.

But what I wish for you more than anything in the world now is that you'll open your heart to seek Him....truly seek Him. He has so much more for you than what you've ever tasted of. He's so much more than just a God Who will receive you when you die. He wants to show you how to LIVE...truly LIVE NOW--not just in the by and by.

But you can't do that apart from faith. You can't do that apart from welcoming His Spirit to teach you and help you. You can't do that apart from abiding in His Word...and not just being a hearer of it, but a doer.

No, it's not about rules and regulations. It's about learning how to receive His grace for every step, every move you make. It's about diligently seeking Him about your purpose. You aren't an accident. He's got a plan for your life, just like He's had a plan for mine.

Now, mine is almost completed. I'm about to cross the finish line. And when I do, I know I'll be welcomed with a warm smile and a hug I've waited all my life to receive.

And I will behold Him in all His glory, and in a twinkling of an eye, I will be just like Him. So don't cry for me when I'm gone. I won't be shedding any more tears, that's for sure! I'll be dancing and shouting and singing...and smiling forever.

Because I'll be with Him. I just hope one day I see you, too.

I love you...I really, really do. (smile)

Now may He do for you what He's done for me, so that you, too, can see Him in all His glory!

Friends,
You know my manner of life and you have seen all of the wickedness and folly that I have been involved in throughout my life. But many of you still say that I am a good man and have a good heart. You all consider me religious because you have also witnessed and heard my confession in Christ Jesus. Many of you look into my eyes and see my joy because you know that something happened and you cannot deny the Lord in me. Sure, you may see things that may seem contrary "faith" but you know... that something wonderfully truthful lies in me.
I could quote scripture from the Bible all day but that is not what you seek. I could find a scripture for you within seconds because I have studied to show myself approved. But you know this is not why you hear me. You know this is why you don't seek my advise on matters that our crucial to you. You seek me because you hear authority. You hear me because I speak as one who "knows". You love me because you know.
Jesus is my answer to all of you. Not 'another' Jesus that has been being spoken and taught over the last 2000 years - but Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, the God of Abraham - the God of Isaac - the God of Jacob. The God that created these heavens and this earth. The same God that lives inside of both you and me beconing all of us to listen to the voice inside. To not be confused by those who know God but glorify him not as God but have become fools. Let not your heart be troubled by the distractions for an instant and you will see the God of spirit and of truth. We have no need for more evidence in the matter of God - Jesus Christ - the Holy Spirit - the Kingdom of Heaven and of God - and of the god who has blinded the minds of humanity with lies of jealousy and of cruel hatred.
Turn around and hear what the Spirit says unto the church - to the nations - to the world - to us as individuals. Hear and be not hurt of the second death and come live with me, with us.
Drop all the manipulations and approach with me to the throne of GOD and let us seek his beautiful face together for he is love and his blessings are beyond to be compared to.
But beware my friends - he is going to destroy the wicked! Who are the wicked? Those who know God but don't worship him as God and become vain in their foolish imaginations and worship the created thing instead of the creator - WHO IS BLESSED FOREVER!
For those who have heard and have read these words today - JESUS CHRIST IS OUR ONLY HOPE OF SALVATION IN THIS WORLD AND THE WORLD TO COME - don't be concerned about those who have not heard the gospel message in spirit and truth for God is able to save unto the uttermost but be ye concerned for those who have heard the name of Jesus, the name above all names in heaven and earth and under the earth and have not made Him their desire.
I love you all and there is plenty of room in my Fathers house. Desire to come and join me in love, joy and peace for unsearchable riches await you when your desire becomes so strong that you know that you just can't live without HIM.
Prepare yourselves to hear the shout - the voice - the trump of God. Turn around for God awaits you there on the other side of the cross.

Hello FaithGirl4Him,
My time with You is short.
Every word You have ever spoken, Every act you have done has ALL been recorded. You are about to be Judged. You have broken all of Gods Law.
as it is written " If You keep the whole Law of God & fail in just 1 point You are Guilty of Breaking ALL. There is NO ONE In this room that is rightous in the sight of God. Your best efforts are as a Filthy rag in His sight.All have sinned & fallen short of the Glory of God. Your Sins are as High above your head as the farthest stars in the Heavens & there is nothing You can do to save yourself frrom the Fires of Hell.That folks is the Bad news. Now for the GOOD NEWS-
God so loved you that He sent His Only begotten son Yeshua (Jesus for those who do not know his name in His native Jewish tounge)to do what you cannot do- Live a sinless life. He took your place on the cross died to pay for Your sins, & rose bodily out of the grave on the third day. If You will acknowlage to God that You have broken his Law
that you are worthy of death & seperation from God for all eternity because of your sins,Ask God to forgive you & confess with Your Mouth That Yeshua is Adoni(Jesus is Lord) & Belive that God raised Him from the dead according to the scriptures & accept Gods free gift of salvation by simply taking God at His word (for that is what faith is-)
Then you shall be saved.
The Christian life is one of Denying yourself, taking up your cross & following Him. You cannot clean your life up, You must let God do it for by grace are you saved & sanctyfied through faith it is a gift of God not of works lest any man should boast. It must be His Rightousness that clothes you, not your own. The fruit can come only if you abide in the vine. Yeshua is the Vine, You are a branch grafted in by faith appart from Him You can do nothing.
There are False prophets & teachers out there & you have to read & understand Gods word for yourself, don't take someone elses word for it do some checking yourself. You will have to stand before God & give an account of why you belived what you belived & the excuse " well Pastor ------- told me"will hold as much water as a fishnet in Sheo'l. The question will be- Did You accept or reject My gift? Did you build Your kingdom or My kingdom? Who did you yield yourself to obey? Remember the parable of the Pharisee & the Publican .
The Pharisee prayed " Lord I thank you That I don't smoke or drink or cuss,That I'm in church every Wednsday & Sunday, That I tithe,
& sing in the chior & do all these works in your name." The Publican
a outcast would not so much as look up to heaven & beat his chest & prayed- "Lord Be mercifull to me for I am a sinnfull man & cannot keep even one of the simplest of Your commandments, Forgive me & clease me of my unrightousness" Who went home Justifyed in Gods sight?
If you don't know On Judgement day they both stood before God & God asked the Pharisee why he should be let in to Heaven & the Pharisee said Lord-Lord Did I not do wonderfull works in Your name? You Owe Me!- God replyed ' "Depart from me you who worked iniquity I never knew you" The Publican was asked the same question & Replyed "Lord I can only enter in if my rightousness exceeds that of the pharisee & the only way that will happen is if You clothe me in Your own rightousness. I asked You to do that & I accepted Your word & Your free gift of salvation knowing there is nothing I can do to earn a place with you. Any works of rightousness I did was by Your spirit working in & thru me & You get the Glory, Honor & Praise I can only enter in by your amazing Grace & Mercy." What do you think God will say to Him?
What will You say to God when YOU stand before Him? & What will God Say to You???????
