Did You Lose Something?

Luke 2:44 (KJV)

44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.

Supposing Can Be Dangerous-

Especially when you wake up one morning and find Jesus missing!

Stop Looking for Him Along The Road Traveled.

Stop Chasing Every Report!

Go Back Where You Left Him, He’s Waiting on You.

Just Like Joseph and Mary-

He was where they left him…

He Was at The House of God!

1 Peter 4:11

Cash and Carry

Proverbs 26:13 (KJV)

13The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.

The Cash and Carry Generation Wants Everything Quick and Easy…

When this does not happen They become agitated and stubborn…

The best things in life are not free and never come easy…

The most Valuable will not only cost you but will only come with great effort!

Your Relationship With God Will Only Be As Good As You Make It!

Little Effort- Little Return

Regardless of What You Brag It’s Evident to All!

Unfortunately the Delusional Can’t See This!

This Kind Cometh Not But By Extreme Efforts…

Deep Experiences are Only Found in Deep Water!

1 Peter 4:11

A Thief in the Night

A Thief In The Night…

2 Peter 3:10 (KJV)

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

A Thief will plan his coming when the Occupants are the least aware-

-Sleeping

-Away

Both scenarios are the times when someone is least able to protect their home!

The Final Events on Earth Before Destruction May or May Not Be as Noticeable as One Might Think-

As “A Thief in the Night”

So Not (Only) the Final Destruction of Earth-

But also the Second Coming or Rapture-

Will Catch the World Unprepared!

Have You Made the Necessary “Preparations?”

Are You Watching and Looking for His Returning?

Only Acts 2:38 Compliant-

Will Sense and Prepare for

“The Coming”

All Others just like Noah’s Day will be caught up in the flood-

Whether Water or Fire-

It all spells DESTRUCTION…

1 Peter 4:11

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”

1 Peter 4:11

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…

1 Peter 4:11

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!
