PLEASE STAND, IF YOU BELEIEVE!

Monday- Good morning, and may all have a great day,, and that you start yours off with the Lord! PLEASE STAND, IF YOU BELIEVE! Imagine this,,, you have left your church, or just exited a revival,,, you have just stood up, walked to the front of the church, shook the preachers hand, and turned, and told a house of 500 people, "I believe in my Jesus Christ, I stand for Him above all else, I give my life to Him, and would die for Him, just as He died for me.. I stand here publicly, and ask ,,who will stand with me? and all in that building stood, and cried "AMEN, AMEN, HALLELUJAH"! Now as the service was over, there was a big play to be played at the local theater,, from the kids of almost all in town.. and at 2:00 p.m. that day , this theater, which held 1000 people,, was filled to the brim... all was buzzing of the play, and their kids, grand-kids, nephews, and nieces were in, and the feeling of great love for them... THEN,,,,the curtain opened,, lights still on in the auditorium,, and there stood ten men in a different uniform on each of them, none of the USA..... an automatic rifle in each of their hands,,,a real hush over the crowd,,, and then a booming voice over the speakers,,,,,, as the one man in the middle spoke and pointed his finger in a sweep of the crowd...... "I want each of you that believes in Jesus Christ, and that He is the Savior of this World, and the only way to Heaven is through Him and the Cross,, and you profess to be a Christian,, to ... STAND UP,,, NOW!!!! you are there,, look around and see WHO IS STANDING, AND WHO IS NOT,, WHO WILL GO ALL THE WAY FROM THAT STANCE THIS MORNING , TO NOW....AND AS YOU LOOK AROUND, ARE YOU STANDING ALSO? IS YOUR CONVICTION THAT REAL,,OR NOT? just a thought of what if, and it could happen, dig deep before you speak, and be ready to stand... Lord, I ask that you give us all the strength of our faith, that we will stand up for You at any time we have the opportunity, no matter what is directing us, nor the cost. We thank You for all we have and ask that we use what we have in Your name at all times. I ask for You to help the sick and ones in need, for You know of them, and by name, . amen John HIcks Standing, and really will stand!! Join me in the "STANCE" for the LORD!!! Make a real commitment, and live it!!! Your Choice!
