Someone's at the Door!

Revelation 3:20 (KJV)

[20] Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

The question so often is,

"Where is God?"

*The Lord is standing at your door knocking.

What is separating you is a Door that only you can Open!

Listen for His voice today, then open the door because only you can open it!

Living For God Without God!

Matthew 7:22-23 (KJV)

[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Proof positive that you can live for God, without him!

Unfortunately, the final result is an eternal tragedy.

Going to church is the first big step, having good church seals the deal.

Praying to God is important, but having God In you Is Better!

One Thing Is Needful

Luke 10:42 (KJV)

[42] But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Performance Driven People  Are Often Unhappy People…

*Driven By A Force That Estimates One’s Value By

(How Much We Do) rather Than By (What We Do).

But When You Discover That-

“Personal Relationship With God” Is Greater Than Anything Else You Can Do, Then and Only Then Will You Discover

“True Contentment”

Take Note: Martha’s Performance Driven Nature Actually Made Her Jealous of Her Sister’s Contentment…

One Thing Is Needful…

How Is It Between You and Jesus Today?

Finding Yourself Lost

Isaiah 55:7 (KJV)

[7] Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Becoming Lost In Unfamiliar Territory Is Never The Desired Outcome…

Life Is A Journey Through (Unfamiliar Territory)-

And Sometimes We Suddenly Realize That “We’re Lost”

A Wrong Turn or A Trail That Was A Dead End…

Often The Only Solutions Are One of Two-

• Retrace Your Steps

• Stay Where You Are And Cry Out for Help

-Anything Else Could Result In Death!

God Says :

• Forsake Your Way and Thoughts

• Return Unto The Lord

He Will Abundantly (Pardon)…

So When You Look Around And Find Yourself “Lost”

Don’t Be a Hardhead Refusing To Go Back…

Antithesis

Isaiah 53:3 (KJV)

[3] He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

An (Antithesis) Is Used In Writing To Present an Idea From Presenting Two Seemingly Opposite Ideas!

This Understood Old Testament Prophetic Scripture Concerning Jesus Christ Is the “Antithesis”…

In A World Seeking (Acceptance)-(Happiness)

The Scripture Declares Mankind Would Be Ashamed of Him!

Because He Doesn’t (Fit) The Description of What We’re Seeking For!

And Yet If You Look Close At The Scripture This Morning…

Can You See?

It Will Produce The Opposite In You of What He Was and How The (General Public) Views Him…

This (Antithesis) Can Bring You Joy Unspeakable…

Out of Despising, Rejection, Sorrow and Grief

From A King-

Is Delivered The Hope of The Ages!

Go Figure, Jesus May Be Nearer Than You Think?

It Could Be You’re Looking At The Wrong Things…

Psalms 69:12 (KJV)

[12] They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.

The Sacrifice of Praise

1 Samuel 15:22 (KJV)

[22] And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

The Sacrifice of Praise Is Important But Not Paramount!

Worship is Not Greater Than Obedience…

Saul bringing back the best lambs for sacrifice.....

For worship and praise!

Many Come Praising Him and Yet Are Not Obedient To His Word!

Better To Obey…

Then Bring Your Sacrifice of Praise!

You Cannot Praise Your Way Into Obedience…

But-

You Can Obey Your Way Into True Praise!
