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.

A Yo-Yo life......
Do you ever feel your life is on a Yo-Yo?? Like no matter what you can't get a grasp on life. The Bible has the answer on how you can take the Yo-Yo and turn it into a road of sweet rest. This actually came to being, after I had talked with a friend, she asked if dealing with somethings we're having to deal with right now made me feel like a Yo-Yo. Up and down, up and down, up and down one day it's up, the next day it's down......This set me to thinking about it. We can have a yo-yo of a life or we can have a peaceful quiet road of sweet rest.
Unsaved people will many times feel they are on a yo-yo. Why? It's harder to have peace about things when you don't have Jesus to guide you day by day. The Bible tells in Proverbs, Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy path.
My question to you friend is Do you want to live your life as a yo-yo? Wouldn't it better know 100% for sure that you are on your way to heaven and that life can smooth (now don't get me wrong, even Christians have bumps in the road) with Christ though we have no need to stay on the string of the yo-yo going no place!
I want to share with you a few verses:
Romans 3:10
"As it is written there is none righteous, no, not one."
This simply means none of us are perfect! We're going to try and make it on our own ending up on the yo-yo way.
Romans 3:23
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
We're all sinners, we make mistakes but guess what?! It doesn't end here.
Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
There is a payment for that sin, If we want to pay for it ourselves it's death and hell. However there's a free gift that you can have. That's the gift of God!
Romans 5:8
"But God commendeth his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us."
You know God loved us so much he gave his only son! WOW how many of us love someone so much we would sacrifice our only son for them?? God did and that is why we have the free gift of salvation.
Romans 10:13
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Did you know that whosoever is You, Me, the person down the street ANYONE?! This takes me to July 25th, I was in DC with my church and the last house I stopped at was a Chinese man (deaf) He accepted this free gift through me sharing with him in sign language that WHOSOEVER believeth on Jesus CAN be saved! Jillian accepted Christ and he was excited that he was going to heaven.
He now doesn't have to live the life of a yo-yo not knowing if he's up or down, but he now has Jesus in his life and can live a life of sweet rest. Yes, he'll still sin, Yes, he'll still have things pop up in his life BUT he has Jesus to lean on!!
Leaning, Leaning, Safe and secure from all alarms, Leaning, Leaning, on the everlasting arms! Who's arms? Jesus!
Now, do I, did I feel like a yo-yo with this one situation YES!! BUT, I have Jesus to care for that situation and although my heart says one thing, my mind says another, the leader I'm talking with says another......We will have a road of sweet rest in the end. Why we KNOW Jesus as our personal Saviour and we KNOW he will take care of all the burdens and hard times that are ahead of us.
I know today's lesson is more for the unsaved, but to my friends who already know our wonderful Saviour and serve him daily. What little "Yo-Yo" in your life is causing you to not depend on God? What "yo-yo" is making the bump in the road worse that what it needs to be?
Turn that "yo-yo" over to Christ and he'll carry the burden for you.
Please let me know if you accept Jesus into your heart.
