26 May 2016, Thursday and Sunday is coming, perhaps the rapture will be today, Maranatha. Are you ready to be translated into heaven to meet King Jesus and The father? It will be too late if you are not prepared and pre-booked. To be pre-booked your name must be written down in the "Book of Life"  This applies to all Nations that read Barnabas Blog  from Australia, Belarus, Bermuda, Canada, China, France, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Latvia, Malaysia, Panama, Philippians, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Turks & Caicos Islands, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, USA, Vietnam, there will be no exceptions. I hope you are prepared to give your account of what you did when The Holy Spirit confronted you with your sin issue and The Father offered you the free gift of salvation. You, all must be born again. Read your Bible to know God.

If you are reading the One Year Bible or at least following the schedule, you are encouraged by John's account of the promises given by Jesus today at chapter 15. This abiding principle was explained to me in 1978 and has been a sure source of pleasure and joy every time I consider where my strength, power and hope come from. Trust and obey.

Reading the life of King David gives clarity that in every person there is the ability to do good and the ability to do bad, we make our choices. After reading about King David and Uriah the Hittite and then John 15 we wish King David had been abiding in the Lord, led by The Holy Spirit, we then assume he would have gone to war, and not committed this terrible sin. Be careful what you look at, think about and want regardless of the known cost, the wage of sin is death.

Read and enjoy Psalm 119. Pay attention to the verbs and the words that describe the Word of God. The Proverb at 15:33 "The fear of the LORD is instruction of wisdom; and before honor there is humility."  came so in King David's life. Observe Proverbs 16:1-3 and commit thy work and your ways unto the LORD. My advice to all is: Get right, stay right, know right, do right and don't quit. Read your Bible to know God. He loves you unconditionally and is not willing that any be lost, but you must be holy to live forever with God. The way to holiness is by the new birth, forgiveness of sin and the wrath of Almighty GOD. Read John 3:1-36. Hope to see you in heaven, perhaps today.
