Just a question for you to ponder:
Have you thank the Lord for your family? Have you really looked at each of your children (those who have children) and thanked the Lord that they are healthy and with you?
I asked this question after what our family has gone through this past wk. I have always been grateful for the children God gave me but after a car wreck and seeing the damage to our van. I realize anyone of my children could of been injured much much worse than what they were. I also realize it was the grace of God that we all walked away from this wreck!
Our children are given to us from God we need to be grateful for them and love them no matter what!
This is the day that the Lord hath made I will rejoice and be glad in it.

A study of Revelation
I'm taking material from my former Pastor, Dr Jack Hyles to do these studies. He never copy righted his books so people could reproduce them to help others. I will probably do a few lessons then go to something else then come back to it. I love his book on Revelation and want to share it with you.
So here we go on our Study of Revelation Chapter 1:1-3
Vr 1. "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass: and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John."
1. The Revelation. The word means unveiling, uncovering, presentation, appearing, coming (as in a great performance when the curtain is pulled and the star is unveiled). The same word was used when Paul saw Jesus on the Damascus Road. This book, above all, shows the lord Jesus Christ and reveals Him to us. Hence, one who does not know Revelation cannot know Jesus as he should. What a shame that so many are so ignorant concerning this wonderful Book.
2. Which God Gave Unto Him. This probably means that God has given His son the glory of the coming Revelation because of the suffering that He endured. He shall avenge His death on the cross when He comes in His glory.
3. The word "servants" means literally, "bondservants." A bondservant was one who had completed his time as a slave, but out of love for his master had volunteered to continue to be a servant. This is the kind of servant God wants.
4. "Shortly" in this verse means "speedily" or "surely." In other words there is no doubt that the things written in this Book will come to pass.
5. You will notice that this message was given to John by an angel. Read Revelation 22:9. Some think that this teaches that this particular heavenly messenger was one of the Old Testament prophets. This may be true.
6. We find the writer in this verse. It was John, the apostle. We will find in verse 2 which John it was speaking of in verse 1.
Vr 2 "Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw."
In vr 2: This verse says that the John verse 1 mentions is the one who bore record that Jesus was the Word, and wrote that Jesus was the Son of God. Read John 1:1 and John 20:31 and you will see that it was the same John who wrote both books.
Vr 3 "Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of his prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand."
In vr 3:
1. Notice that God promises a blessing to those who study Revelation. Let us notice whom He promises to bless: 1. Those who read.
2. Those who hear.
3. Those who keep. ("Keep" means "to guard with care." So you can see that God will bless anyone who will observe or study Revelation.)
2. You will notice also we are to study these things because "the time is at hand." It is always at hand. In other words, it could happen any minute. We are to WATCH at all times because it could be today.
3. The word "blessed" is this verse means happy, contented, etc. The reason is that those who are looking for Jesus to come are the happiest people in all the world. Communism, atomic bombs, wars, etc., cannot keep the person from being happy who is looking up every day for the return of the King.
God also seems to abundantly bless the churches who believe and study Revelation.
I hope you will enjoy this as much as I do while I'm preparing each part to post. I have already in my own personal study using the Bible and Bro Hyles book learned ALOT!!!

With the Holidays forth coming
I have prayed about this and really felt that I should do this. With the holidays just around the corner we all have family and friends whom we'd love to see come to know the Lord. I would like on this post have prayer request for unsaved family. You may list them my name or however you would like.
Wouldn't it be a wonderful to see by the end of 2009 our family and friends saved. The time is short although we don't know when the Lord will return we need to see as many people as possible accept him as Saviour.
Matthew 5:14-16 "Ye are the light of the world. A City that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
This scripture reminded me of the song, "This little light of mine"
This little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm going let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Shine all over Martinsburg (your town)
I'm going let it shine
Shine all over Martinsburg
I'm going let it shine let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine till Jesus comes
I'm going let it shine
Let it shine till Jesus comes
I'm going let it shine, let it shine
Let it shine.
I just love this song and the truth behind it!
I mentioned putting a post with names of those you want to see saved. The Bible says in Act 16:31 "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
Psalm 98:2 "The Lord hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen."
Psalms 55:22 "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee; he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved."
I Thessalonians 5:24 "Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it."
One last scripture and for the life of me I can't remember where it's found but it says,
"Where 2 or 3 or gathered together in my name there shall I be also." (I don't I think I quoted exact) But if we join together in prayer for our unsaved loved ones and friends, Great and Mighty things can happen.
I'll start the list:
In-laws unsaved
Uncle David T.
Uncle Hopson G. (cancer not doing well at all)
Call upon the name of the Lord and thou shall be saved!

Fire Escape Plan
Have you ever noticed that when your in a Hotel, school, store or maybe your home there's a little map on how to leave the premises in case of fire? Why do they put those maps out? It's to protect us so that we don't die in the fire or get trapped.
God also has a Fire Escape Plan it called the Plan of Salvation! We can escape the fire of eternal torment and pain if we accept his free gift. The verses I'm going to share with you is the Escape route from the Fire of Hell.
You can escape this fire from anywhere in the world! How to know 100% for sure, without a doubt, that you WILL go to Heaven!
Friend, did you know that YOU CAN know how to escape this fire?
In I John 5:13 it says, "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." All you need is to believe on Jesus and you can have eternal life in Heaven and not in the Lake of Fire.
First we need to realize that we are ALL sinners. Who is good??
In Romans 3:10 it tells us: "As it is written there is none righteous, no, not one." and in Romans 3:23 it tells us, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God,"
See with our sin we can't go to Heaven, you, me and anyone who doesn't believe in the Son of God come short of the glory of God.
You may ask well, where did Sin come from:
Romans 5:12 says, "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" That one man was Adam. I'm sure you've heard the story of Adam and Eve. Well, because Adam chose to eat of the fruit Eve offered him it caused them to know sin.
Revelation 20:14 says, "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."
Because of sin we could be trapped by the Fire with no escape. God payed a price for that sin for us.
Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
If we choose not to obey the maps placed in hotels, schools and other places our payment for is death, but the management in these places gave an escape. It's your choice what you do with it. The same with our sin, God made a way of escape from the eternal fire of Hell.
We can pay for our sins ourselves or we can except God "escape plan" free gift!
Our way out is shown to us in Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners Christ died for us."
Romans 10:13 "For whosoever (put your name here) shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Can imagine being loved so much that Christ died for YOU! IT's true Jesus died on the cross and rose again in 3 days and he loves you so very much he wants you to escape the fire!!
Romans 10:9-11 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed."
It's that wonderful the following steps:
1. Confess your sins
2. Believe in your heart
3. Receive Christ!!!
I can't think of a better escape plan from the fire!!
Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
Friend if you have read through this and you realize that you have never accepted Christ, I want to invite you to do so. Here is a simple prayer that you can pray to accept Jesus.
Dear Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner; if I died now in my sin, I would go to Hell. Right now, by faith, I am trusting You as my personal Saviour and my only hope to Heaven. Thank you for dying on the cross for me and for saving me from an eternity in Hell.
In Jesus name,
Amen
Now friend, if you just prayed this prayer and accepted Christ into your heart I would love to hear about it and to rejoice with you.
You may leave a comment here or you may contact me through e-mail. I have it set up where you may e-mail me.
I pray that someone who reads this will see the importance of escaping the Fire! Not just in our daily lives but in our eternal life!
This is the day that the Lord hath made I will rejoice and be glad in it.
God also has a Fire Escape Plan it called the Plan of Salvation! We can escape the fire of eternal torment and pain if we accept his free gift. The verses I'm going to share with you is the Escape route from the Fire of Hell.

Friend, did you know that YOU CAN know how to escape this fire?

In Romans 3:10 it tells us: "As it is written there is none righteous, no, not one." and in Romans 3:23 it tells us, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God,"
See with our sin we can't go to Heaven, you, me and anyone who doesn't believe in the Son of God come short of the glory of God.
You may ask well, where did Sin come from:

What do you give?
Luke 21:1-4 "And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had."
I always have loved this story in Bible. When I see those give who have little but yet others gripe of giving when they have an abundance. Our family has always given to the Lord of our increase. I can remember growing up and after my folks were saved, us giving at church.
I won't go into tithing and how much and all that. I just wanted to share this passage of scripture with you and how that no matter how much or little we have we should give to the Lord. Why? He will bless those who give. It doesn't matter if it's your money, your time, your service if you give with a cheerful heart to the Lord he will bless you.
I want to share with you a time from our time on the road that God blessed us and I to this day believe it was because we gave to him in many area's. We were in Illinois I want to say Pekin but for some reason that doesn't sound right. Anyway, our RV had broken down (not an usual thing for us lol) we were sitting in the parking lot of a Tractor Supply store. This man, we NEVER saw again, came up and said, I'm from this church and hands us a flier. Well, we called the Pastor as he suggested and went from there.
The Pastor had us "limp' the RV to him, just a few blocks away. Put us in their former parsonage, called different church members and they brought groceries and such. We asked about this man, and told the Preacher what he drove, when the Pastor says, Nope! No one hear by that name and no one hear drives that type of truck.
Now to back up to the day before: We had stopped to help someone that was broken down. Then preceded to our mtg that evening. We always, or most always, tried to give in the offering simply because we had so much done for us we felt that was what God would have us do. My husband put money in the offering plate that evening which meant we had just enough to buy a days worth of groceries.
Well, when we got to this church on Monday, they not only gave us a days worth of groceries but probably a wks worth, a place to stay, fixed our RV, gave us mtg for that Wed, plus much, much more! God blesses those who give! We weren't as poor as the widow, but we didn't really have it to give. Although because we felt that God would have us give offerings at churches we visited, and we obeyed the Holy Spirits leading each time as to the amount. He blessed in abundance!!
Do you give with a cheerful heart or do you give because we're commanded to give? Do you give of your time freely or do you complain?
Let's doing and give all so that God wants to bless us above and beyond what we do and give! Serve the Lord with gladness!
I pray that in some way this devotional is a help and blessing to someone today!
May God bless you , and have a great wkend.
