Thoughts for Today

WEDNESDAY! Good ole "HUMP" DAY,, for all those who have a job to go to,,for us who are retired,,, just another day of the seven day week-end! Bragging? Yes, for my Lord has given this for us to enjoy,, and quit gripping about not having anything to do,,for there is a vast of opportunities for all out there,,,, just look,,,, and do,, and then say a great big ole "Thank You God!".. from the retired, the working, and the ones looking for a job,and the ones who are not able to work... Now, thank God for all you do have, for with out Him, you would have nothing!!!! Prayer Request: Laura Burris' mother in Ms. ,,whose house was hit by lightning yesterday, and burned to the ground, ,she lost everything, please pray for her recovery of this vast happening of her life! THE GATE! You know we all see, and may have one,, and that is a gate with a fence,, some may have just a gate at the driveway , all for security. Our environment demands more and more security.. so it is a natural thing for man to do,,, just as animals do, who also have territories and they guard it just as we do our homes,,, and family,,, and valuables...Yes ,, valuables!!!! What is the most valuable thing in your life that you own and have,,, give me an answer now,,, and what are you doing to protect that valuable? Is it a gold necklace, watch, car, truck, money,, silver,,, house,,, your soul,, just what? Let's talk about the security of your soul! There is but one way to put a gate, and fence of solid security around the soul,,, and that is Jesus Christ! He is the only one! Once accepted as your "soul guard",by you, He cannot be removed by anyone,,, a promise made from His Father ,,, to us! Now YOU, can remove Him, by rejection,,, and denying Him...and that is your choice! Yes, satan goes into a real wild fit each time someone says ,, Yes , Jesus,,, I accept You as my personal savior,, and I give you my heart and soul"... I really think he gets down on his hands and knees,,, scream obscenities,,, foams at the mouth,,,cries,,, and more,,,, YES he DOES! and I hope to know that he has to do it more,,, and more,,, don't you? (He also goes into even a bigger fit of joy, each time he hears someone deny Jesus. Now back to the security gates...there are two,,, one is Gods ,,,, keeps His open at all times,,, and there is only one way in,,,only one ticket, and it comes to you as mentioned above, through Jesus! Now ,,, ole satan keeps his gate open to the public all the time,, and he will accept all who wants to come in,,,you don't even need a ticket,, just the denial of Jesus,,, and yes,,, if you deny Christ,,, you are hell bent,,, on your way through that FIERY ,,,HOT ,, GATE,,OF SECURED AGONY, BURNING FOREVER, AND EVER! TEARS NEVER WIPED! GET YOUR TICKET THROUGH THE GATE OF GOD!!!! AND LIVE FOREVER AND EVER, WITH HIM!!! Lord,,, thank You for the opportunity to make the decision,, and I pray for strength , of all to open their mouths,,, and cry out for You to enter in to their hearts, and have your gate standing open to them at all times! ....amen John HIcks My gate has been chosen,, and I know that Jesus stands here now with me,,, and I know that He stands at my gate,,, and your gate, if you have made that choice,,,,, with arms wide open.......Will you make your decison, now, for we neveer knwo when our gate will close, and that choice is not ever available ,, ever again.... make yours today!
