My Lord,
Happy Sunday and thank you. That question is no longer on the table for me. Unknown to me prior to May 4, 2008, that that was exactly where I was headed. So funny to think that I thought I was a good person and that I was surely going to heaven. What an ignorant fool I was to even conceive such a thing. THANK YOU for setting me straight; for saving me and my children from the eternal lake of fire.
Many do not believe that hell is for real and many could care less, believing that it won't make a difference once they are dead. THANK you again for saving me. THANK you for your Holy Scriptures that tell me the truth! My Lord, it is well with my soul. I'm heaven bound. When you're ready, so am I.
Like the Apostle Paul, I'm torn between staying here (not for me, but for you) and wanting to come home and sit at your feet. So longing to see you............
Thank you for Pastor Dario's message today. So profound, so intense and so necessary! Hell is for real and I'm not doing enough for your kingdom to get the truth out. Father, please guide my heart, my words and my actions that will reflect what your word says about the truth, salvation and the day of judgement.
I'm here only because you still have purpose for me. Help me to live out that purpose day after day and not get caught up in the worldly things and not set my mind on the things that are not of you! Help me to be in the center of your will and help me to see your presence in every circumstance. Exhale....
In Jesus' precious name. Amen.
THANK YOU for the hugs today. I've been away from Sunday service for two weeks and the hugs from Melanie, Laurie, Debbie, Gina, Claudette, Jackie, Jackie, Ms. Kay, Amy, Martha, Carolyn, Ms. Grace, Margaret, Steve, Jerry, Linda, Nancy, Dario, Susie and Davey were so yummy. :-)
Seeing Pastor Wagner, Luke, Alfi, John, Cindy, Terri, Tonya, Dorothy, Inez, Paul, Anna, Beverly, Tom, Robert, John and countless others truly made my smile.
Prayers for the upcoming Women's Retreat!!!!!!!!!!!! Lord, please help the women to set aside their preconceived notions, their to-do list, their countless distractions and their hidden pride and or insecurity about not having the money to go and please, make a way for them to come and for your presence to be magnified that we may come home feeling deeply passionate and solely committed to glorifying your name. Help us to see, feel, touch and believe in the GREAT I AM like never before. Make yourself alive in us and give us an increased faith, a bold purpose, an ear to hear and an eye to see that we are only here to serve you and bring salvation to the lost. Your word says that you want not one to perish [ref 2 Peter 3:8-9] and you need our help [as your beloved disciples] to take the focus off of ourselves and to fervently spread the gospel in order for this to be effective.
Begin with me My Lord...Isaiah 6:8 is still my wholehearted prayer. Father, please...begin with me.
Prayers extended: Seniors. Life up our seniors at home, in the hospitals and in the nursing homes.
Eternally yours
