When Delayed Means- Missing the Appointment

Luke 12:45 (KJV)

45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

The Word Delayeth Here Should Not Be Confused With “Late”…

When He Delays-

This Just Means He Has Found Reason to Postpone the Appointment-

Events or Something Has Caused Him to Hit Pause While-

“One More” Soul Finds the Open Door!

But Never Mistaken the “DELAY” as Late!

And Do Not Let the “Delay” Cause You to

“Go Back”

Outside the Door You Once Entered!

Because While You Step Back Out That Door-

He Will Come…

There’ll Be No Time to

Re-Enter.. and you’ll be locked outside not able to Re-Enter…

You Will Have-

“Missed the Appointment”

The Parable of Occupy

Luke 19:13 (KJV)

13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, *Occupy till I come.

The term “Occupy” means to be-

“Busy and Productive”

The parable was that of Salvation through Christ-given to man and what we are admonished to do until Jesus returns…

Occupy- Be Busy! Be Productive!

Do Something for God…

Don’t Crawl in a Hole and Wait!

Get Out There and *Occupy… Until He Returns!

A Rule that Christians should live by…

*LIVE- like He’s coming today…

*PLAN- like He’s not coming for a hundred years…

Before

Joel 2:31 (KJV)

31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, *(before) the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

*Before: period of time preceding an event-

We Are Living in the “Period of Time”

Preceding the-

(Day of the Lord)-

This Day Is Not to Be Confused With the (Rapture) or the “Catching Away” of the Saints….

The Day of the Lord is a Day of Wrath and Destruction of the Earth…

Of Course there is another-(Before)…

of those signs and that Event-

Which is What We Call “The Rapture” of the Church!

How Close Are We?

Look Around You-

And you tell me…

The-

Before: period of time preceding an event-

Is Almost Over and Finished!

All Things Prophesied in the Bible Are Now Fulfilled!

The “Before” is Almost Finished…

Are You Ready?

1 Peter 4:11

When God Honors The Saints With Judgement!

Psalms 149:7-9 (KJV)

7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

While it may seem that the world Triumphs while we hide in obscurity-

THERE WILL BE A DAY TO COME-

When All Things Will Change!

Our Hope and Reward Is Not In This Life-

But In The Next-

“Eternal Life”

This Life is as a Vapor that appears briefly then gone…

Which is no Comparison to “Eternity“ that never Ends!

And After All We Have Suffered at the Hands of Unjust People-

God Is Going To “Honor”

His Saints with Judgement!

Judgement on This World

While They Feel Honored With All Their Iniquity Today-

The Day of Honoring the Saints is Coming-

And I will sign off how the Lord did in our text…

Praise the Lord!

1 Peter 4:11

Where Is Your God?

Psalms 42:3 (KJV)

3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

When the attack is more than a stubbed toe or a broke down car…

Overwhelming Crisis One On Top of Another With No Hope in Site!

When (Tears) Become Our Meat Day and Night…

Our Enemies Cry Out-

“Where is your God?”

While your pain suffering and anguish seem endless

Remember-

We Are Not Abandoned and or Forsaken…

God Has Not Left-

(enemy of mine)

But Rather He Is Preparing a Great Miracle and or Deliverance-

To Shut You Up “One More Time”

My Confidence is Not Shaken-

Because Your Words Question…God!

Mine Do Not…

He is always with me…

Critics

Proverbs 22:10 (KJV)

10 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

Scorner/Critic-

A person who expresses an unfavorable opinion of something…

When you finally get tired of all the contention-

~THROW OUT THE CRITIC

The Added Blessing is-

“Strife and Reproach”

Will Cease…

Stop Babying The Critic

And You’ll Finally Get Some Peace!

Self Loving

Job 31:27-28 (KJV)

27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:

28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.

The Generation of-

⁃ Selfies

⁃ Self Help

⁃ Self Love

⁃ Self Esteem

Are The Signs of Iniquity!

A Generation Running Head Long into Denying God…

The Drunkenness That Inebriates Our

“God Awareness”

is Going to Be Punished by the Judge!

While Finding Your-Self Don’t Lose God…

Selflessness is Key-

Not Selfishness!

Don’t Let Self Come Between You and God!
