Compassion for The Lost…

Luke 19:41 (KJV)

[41] ¶ And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

Compassion was a defining mark of our leader!

Knowing Jerusalem would soon reject Him and cry “Crucify Him!”

He Still Had Tremendous Compassion!

Revival Begins With “Compassion” Not With Critical Scrutiny…

Would To God Someone In Our Church Would Go To A Place and View Our City and Weep… Weep For Lost, Regardless of Our City’s Response…

Revival Starts With Compassion…

THE GREATEST TESTIMONY?

Matthew 12:41 (KJV)

[41] The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

The Greatest Testimony is not Great Feats and Tremendous sacrifice but rather - “Repentance”

*So much so that Jesus recounts this singular act- They Repented!

This Singular Act “Repentance” Spared an Entire City of over 120,000 people!

*The Greatest Testimony You Could Have is “Repentance”

A RECIPE FOR RUIN

Proverbs 24:21-22 (KJV)

[21] My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change: [22] For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?

*Both the Perpetrator and the Casual Accomplice (Meddlers) will be Ruined…

Make your mind up, be steadfast, and unmovable… and don’t associate with people given to change!

Surround Yourself With Those Like You!  That Will Challenge You!  To Be Better, Not Change…

A Destination Not On Your Maps

Genesis 28:16 (KJV)

[16] ¶ And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.

Who would’ve thought this location was where God was?

The Gateway to Heaven, a ladder from earth to Heaven!

Angels coming and going with God at the top!

Please Consider These Three Things:

    •    A Man running for his life

    •    A desert place

    •    The man was a deceiver

You Might Find That In Your Lowest and Most Desperate Hour,

God May Be Leading You To A Destination Not On Your Maps…

To A Gateway of Glorious Promises…

GOD IS LISTENING

Job 34:28 (KJV)

[28] So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

God Has Taken Notice of The Cry of the Poor!

He Has Heard Your Cry!

*Be Careful You’re Not The Cause of Their Cry…

*Be Comforted, He Will Help The Poor and The Afflicted…

Because The Lord is Listening and He Has Heard Your Cry…

The Result of One Father’s Decision

2 Kings 20:15-18 (KJV)

[15] And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them. [16] And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD. [17] Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD. [18] And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

Only a fool believes that their decisions affect only themselves!

    ⁃    You might reject it

    ⁃    You might resist it

    ⁃    You might ignore it

But Your Decisions Will Affect Others! There Is No Such Thing As Personal!

Don’t Let The Devil Lie To You. You Are Not Solitary and Alone. But You’re a Part of Huge Family called “Humanity”. We’re All Connected by Adam! *Will One Decision Make a Difference?

Definitely…

Testing Positive

Habakkuk 3:17-18 (KJV)

[17] ¶ Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: [18] Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

Testing Positive-

    •    When there’s no blossoms

    •    When there’s no fruit

    •    When there’s no olive oil

    •    When there’s no harvest

    •    When there’s nothing in storage

You in spite of the Nothingness

“Test Positive”

for Rejoicing in The Lord, The God of My Salvation!

The Ultimate Revealing… Fair Weather Christians Are Everywhere! But The Test Of “Nothingness” Reveals The Truth!

Will You Test Positive?
