Friday Ramblings ... Hear Him

GOD HAS SPOKEN. For every situation under the sun the Word of God has brought comfort. There is a popular gospel song with the lyrics, “… Let the Church say Amen … God has spoken. Let the Church say Amen!" (M. Winans). I like hearing when God Almighty speaks. The Word of God is the Holy Bible. I love to read God’s spoken word. I enjoy the Bible. The messages are alive. Vibrant for the soul. For every circumstance, good or bad, life has sent toward my direction it is Scripture which has withstood with me. Ah, my friend, God’s word is potent! God’s word is timely. God’s word is relevant. God’s word is full. God’s word is recent. God’s word is final. God’s word is it.

The Church is the collective body of believers in Jesus Christ. Christians as a whole is the Church. Certainly God speaks through chosen vessels, but the Word of Almighty God stands above all. Indeed, Scripture states: “The prophet who has a dream, let him tell his dream; but he who has My Word, let him speak My Word faithfully. What has straw in common with wheat [for nourishment]? Says the Lord. Is not My Word like fire [that consumes all that endure the test]? Says the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks in pieces the rock [of stubborn resistance]? (Jeremiah 23:28-29 Holy Bible Amplified Bible). Ah… how I wish the Church would always say Amen to the Word of God. Oh!...that the people created by Almighty God would take The Lord at his word. How I pray all Christians would fearlessly proclaim the name of Jesus Christ—proclaim and shout out loud—to the ends of the earth. Oh! That the Church of Jesus Christ would say Amen to the truths Almighty God has spoken. God’s Word is It. God’s word is final.

A fact of life is there are many religions on earth. Mankind is free to choose whichever. A fact of life is, “God sent his only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” This is truth. Mankind is free to accept or reject the truth. Whatsoever! God Almighty does not force anyone. No, God does not compel you to accept his truths. God does not mandate mankind to accept his Salvation plan. The Lord gives each person freedom to choose. Until the heavenly Trumpet sound cracking open the skies to reveal the Son of God in all HIS GLORY, you are free to choose whatever you want to believe and whatever you choose to worship. You are free to reject Jesus Christ. God has respected you enough to grant you freedom of choice. The Lord will uphold the choice you make in this matter. No forcefulness whatsoever! The Lord loves you enough to let you choose Him or anything else. Awesome Creator that he is! Deny him, reject him, he still loves. Until the day Jesus comes to judge the world. That's the day you live completely with your choice. Amen. 

Be on the lookout, my friend, because one day soon... Here is Truth: “One day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is LORD to the glory of God the Father.” There is TRUTH. That’s it. Hallelujah. Amen. God’s word is truth. God’s word is final. God has spoken there is only one way to Almighty God—only ONE way to eternal life—Jesus Christ. That truth will stand the test of eternity. Jesus Christ is God. True, it is a mystery. At the end of time, when time and space are no more, Jesus Christ will reign over all. God Almighty has proclaimed Jesus Christ KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS. Say Alleluia now or say Alleluia later. Your choice. God’s word is final. God’s word is it.

I agree End Times is a mystery. Yet to fully unfold. So, too, is Death. I agree Eternity is a mystery. Is not Life itself a mystery? You and I live it to the fullest. Don’t we? You know very well we do! We do not know if tomorrow will come or what tomorrow holds, but we plan today for tomorrow. We believe that we will breathe and our bodies will function and we will continue… Until one day this robe of flesh refuses to go one inch more. You can do absolutely NOTHING about your last day. Except to TAKE YOUR FINAL BOW. And for everyone else life goes on....until their turn....and life goes on....until their turn….and life goes on. There is comfort in knowing God has spoken as well for that day. God's Word is it.

It’ll be nice to know Jesus Christ awaits you on the other side. This is what the LORD has promised. Hallelujah. Amen. My friend, God speaks directly to you. God’s Word is it. GOD’S WORD IS FINAL. Let the Church say Amen.
