This morning it took 3 sermons
from Baptist preachers, one sermon and a song from a Luthern church and a song
posted on Face Book to give me messages for my life. And one of those preachers has already gone
to be with the Lord but his ministry for Christ goes on by those left behind.
www.youtube.com showed me
Charles Stanley’s sermon was for me that heard it and not meant to point
fingers at others. His quote “you
cannot violate the Word of God and not face consequences.” A profound statement to my ears that of
course I wanted everyone else to hear.

John 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not,
I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him:
the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. 49
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a
commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50 And I
know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore,
even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
The Luthern service followed suite
with a song about don’t break stained glass windows. We do not know what is inside so who are we to
judge what is inside? Note Jesus came not to judge the world but to save lost souls. When he returns he will be the judge.
The preacher from First Baptist in
Tyler preached on the rich man and Lazarus.
The rich man wanted him to send someone to tell his brothers. He told him if they would not listen to Moses
and the prophets they would not listen to one raised from the dead. Yet when He spoke God's word it was spoken by one that is now dead. Adrian Rogers who is already with
the Lord still has those that broadcast his sermons and his message was mine…….What
do you have if it is taken away will take away the joy of the Lord from your
life? Ah! Now the fat is in the
fire. I have cried more in the past two
weeks and rejoiced less than in five years.
The loss of my best friend, the loss of my health, has caused me to
stumble but I have not lost the faith in my Lord. Indeed I had lost my joy. What a revelation! I failed the test so far but with His help I
intend that I have learned my lesson well and will do all in my power to now do
as Psalm 33:21 says rejoice in him at all times good and bad.
Psalm 33:21 For our heart shall
rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name
And thank you Lord for Psalm 30:5
Psalm 30:5 For his anger endureth
but a moment; in his favour is life:
weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
I pray this little snag in my
journey and the lesson I have got to learn might not take 3 preachers teaching
God’s convicting words and two songs speaking to our hearts to open our eyes
and see Jesus and have our joy no matter what is taken away.
