June 19th Friday is here and so are we, still waiting for The "Rapture"!From here to eternity does have an exciting ring!Ready or not,He is coming back just as He said He would.Do you have your "one way" ticket in your heart? It is a gift for whosoever.

1st Kings 20:1-21:29 Elijah is on his way with the Holy News from Heaven. How many times does The LORD tell Ahab to act? What kind of king was Ahab?What do you learn about GOD by this intervention with this wicked king?Why does The LORD act this way? What is the price/cost/wage/result/impact of disobedience? If you know to do right and you do it not, what is it?(SIN) It is a sad day to see a king pouting over a garden.It is a sad day for a wife(queen) to arrange murder through deceit in order for a weak man to have some more dirt.What are you jealous for today? What is the commandment concerning "wanting" another's possesion?What kind of people cooporate with lying thieving crooks?How does The LORD view our work?I suggest you look back at Proverbs 16:1-12 and ponder the fact that "The LORD hath made all things for himself;yea,even the wicked for the day of evil". How does this impact your concept of GOD?Why does The LORD answer prayers? Where is His Glory?Read to know GOD, Watch His hand of mercy and get prepared to meet your GOD.

Acts 12:24-13:15 records the growth of the church.The LORD causes Barnabas and Saul to be selected to be "sent forth" into the work of GOD.What a clear,simple, easily understood work plan designed by GOD to preach the word of GOD around the world.Men on a mission=missionaries!This is the first demonstration of The LORD's plan that was spoken of by Jesus to His disciples of going beyound Jerusalem,and in all Judaea,and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. This is The Church! Saul(who is also called Paul) is used by GOD to blind a sorcerer in order to lead a prudent man named Sergius Paulus to salvation. Did you see how the work of GOD is done? KEY-KEY The man/woman/person of GOD filled with The holy Ghost. No other way.

Psalm 137:1-9 Where is your hope? We are in a strange land.This is not our home.What kind of song are you singing today?We are on the winning side. Remember the Lord.

Proverbs 17:16 Does money make a difference in your life? If money were no object, what would you do? would GOD get ALL the Glory and Honor? Selah. Amen. pj
