Urgency comes with the emergency of the world today

There is an urgency to the emergency covering the whole world right now. "Prepare to meet thy God' Amos 4:12. "If my people...will pray."

1. "Enter, EVERY DAY, into his gates with thanksgiving" Ps 100:4. Stop asking and begin thanking first. a. For your salvation, you are going to heaven instead of hell. WOW. b. for the supply of your needs c. for the source of you love, joy, peace, the Help Spirit of the living God Gal.5:22.

2. "Give me THIS DAY my daily bread", needs. God fed Israel one day at a time. They had to go get it. And He feeds us one day at a time and we are told to ASK for it, every day, do YOU? and do not take it for granted. He taught them this when they saw Him praying and asked "teach us to pray" Lk 11:1. He did and we don't. Asking for your bread EVERY DAY is the key to financial freedom.

3. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem" Do YOU?, every day? "they shall prosper that love thee" 122:6. Do you love Israel enough to "pray for the peace of Jerusalem? every day?

4. "Pray for kings (our president), all in authority" "that we might lead a quiet and peaceable life " Are we living that kind of life? Help us NO. 1 Tim 2:2,3.If you are not praying what god taught then you are part of the problem Obey God. Be live like Peter, "At thy word, I will" Lk 5:5/ Most Christians don't. You be one of the believing and obedient Christians and let's change the world. More next time. make a prayer list and be sure these are in it. It will greatly transform your life. I LOVE YOU ABC Sumner

How a radical atheist got saved and the dramatic results

A fantastic story how an atheist got saved

35 years ago I preached in a church and a white man was there with an Afro hair do on top and his beard. Just the whites of his eyes shone through. After the service a fine Christian girl asked me if I saw the man with all the hair. I told her I would have been blind not to. She told how she came out of a grocery store, ran into a lady, gave her a tract and led her to Christ right there in the parking lot. This man was her husband, Dale Cutlip. He was an atheist and debated atheism and would I go see him and try to lead him to Christ. I am no debater and did not want to but after she begged me, I said I would. She gave me their address. It was in the opposite side of town from me.

I planned to go Monday night but could not make it. The same happened every night until Friday night and I knew I had to go. They lived in an enormous apartment complex. It took one half hour to find them. I knocked and when Dale opened the door, I almost fainted. He had no shirt on and had an afro on top, in his beard and on his chest. I thought I was looking at the missing link. He blurted out, "preacher, what is gong on. You wont believe it." I asked him three times before he invited me in and then said, "You wont believe it, I am an atheist and when you knocked I was reading the Bible." I said, "I know what is going on, sit down. I want to tell you. I just told him the gospel, how God loves him, Christ died for his sins, paid the debt in full, rose again and was seen by hundreds of people and if he would believe God that Christ suffered and died for his sins too and receive the Lord Jesus in his heart, God would save him.

Without hesitation, he said he would. The three of us knelt in front of his couch with me in the middle. He prayed out loud with me to receive the Lord Jesus. With tears flowing he knocked me out of the way, grabbed his wife and we all wept and rejoice. He was genuinely saved. Four weeks later, I saw him at church and did not recognize him for he was shaved, clothed and in is right mind.

Today I got his prayer letter. He is an evangelist and has led thousands to Christ. He has 61 missionary affiliates in 12 countries. It is awesome what God has done with Dale. It all started with a college girl handing a lady a tract in a parking lot and led her to Christ. God would not let me get there until He had him ready, reading the Bible. O dear people the "harvest in plenteous" They are all over the place.You and I MUST get the gospel to every person and have the eternal privilege of leading people to Christ, who God has ready, to be save. Our world needs to be saved. You and I must get the gospel to more people to see our country saved. Make sense.

"I am debtor both to the wise and the unwise" and to God, and to lost people to "preach the gospel to every person"

It makes big difference here and hereafter how you live after you get saved

"For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid which is Christ Jesus".1 Cor. 3:11. The foundation, the basis of our salvation, is that the Lord Jesus suffered and died four our sins, paid the debt in full, was buried, rose again and was seen by hundreds. He cried out "It is finished" and the basis, of our salvation was finished. There is nothing left for us to do to get it but to believe God and receive the Lord Jesus.You then have Jesus and He will never leave you.

"Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood , hay stubble; every man's work shall be made manifest" 1 Cor. 3:12., 13. Our works after we are saved determines our rewards in heaven. "Our works shall be revealed by fire. If a mans works abide, he shall receive a reward". There are big incentives for our works. There are five crowns mentioned in Scripture. We are not going to pile them one on top of another and strut around heaven with them BUT we will cast our crowns at Jesus feet and say, "Thou are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor" Rev. 4:11. That should be a great incentive to work for His glory after we are saved.

NOW DON'T MISS THIS.. "If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire" 1 Cor. 3:15. One of my passions is to help Christians to lay up treasures and trophies in heaven. They do not come automatically but by obeying God and working because we are saved. Make sense?

Teach me to so live, O Lord, that I will not be "ashamed" on that day You call me home or at your coming. 1 Jn 2:28.
