Are You AWARE? If You Are Like Most People, You May Think That You Are. Though You May Be In The Regular

Are you AWARE? If you are like most people, you may think that you are. Though you may be in the regular habit of reading news on-line, watch what is happening on TV – daily read a newspaper and generally are up on what is happening in the world, the country and your community you certainly are well INFORMED, but according to the words of Jesus you are not AWARE.

The definition of 'Aware' is to warn, admonish, heed, (or) watch out. If that is the case, then watch out and warn about what?? Today’s scripture is a warning about the blindness that many have, namely that without being healed from sin and the curse of death, they will be lost in an eternity caused by their blinders of choice.

The Bible says that “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God” (Romans 10:17) but in order for Faith to take root, you must take off your blinders, open your ears, sharpen the mind, and be receptive in the heart.

Are you 'AWARE?' If not, turn back from your regular habits! Look instead at the Word of God and SEE what is real and good and pure that God is promising you in His assurance of eternal life and starting seeing what really is important.

Fred Rogers of the iconic 'Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood' is an American treasure of wholesomeness and goodness. As a child, if you are old enough to remember, you couldn’t wait to tune in to his TV show! While always delightful to watch, you unknowingly and innocently would learn strong character values and good manners by his example that would stick with you for the rest of your life.

His influence caused me later in life to develop two Christian character and etiquette books that I taught to children and teens, and like 'Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, 'the joy of seeing the light bulb go on in kid’s eyes when they discovered something wonderful about God and Jesus gave me a joy beyond measure, all because of his example.

On one of his programs, with the kindness and poise he always displayed, he softly said to the audience...

“I’d like you to close your eyes for ten seconds and think of ten people who have greatly influenced your life. I’m going to watch my clock.”

As he did, the camera panned across the audience. All eyes were closed, and some had tears streaming down their faces. Everyone was deeply touched by this precious man’s calm, kind and centered demeanor. His soft, yet purposefully intended suggestion caused them to pause and reflect upon their lives, and how deeply those in their pasts had touched them.

Likewise, pause right now from your busy day and close your eyes and ponder — Who has greatly influenced YOUR life? Who has made a real, even profound difference and guided you to become who you are today? Make a list of each one that has because just like today’s scripture, these people have given you instruction that has made you wiser. Thank God for them, because you are who you are today because of those that have come before you.

Kathryn Kuhlman was a powerful Christian evangelist who over several decades preached, healed and transformed the lives of many. She is regarded by some as the greatest female Christian minister of the 20th century. While her life and what she spoke over the years was remarkable, in her final days what she also spoke was even more remarkable and thought provoking. While hospitalized and accelerating quickly to a fateful end, she predicted not only the day she would die, but also the precise hour and minute. As she prophesized, it was at exactly 1:13 AM on February 20, 1976.

This got me to thinking that 1:13 AM is one out of 1,440 minutes that we all sweep through each day, and just like on the second hand of a clock, one of those minutes will be the precise minute of when all of us will pass from the here to the hereafter.

Unlike Katheryn, we have no idea when that minute will come. She was ready for that exact minute at 1:13 AM when an angel would meet her and take her to heaven...but how about you? She was a faithful, obedient disciple of Christ and her name was written in the Book of Life (the book of all those that are going to heaven.) Is your name in that book? If not, here is how you can be sure.

Commit right now IN THIS SECOND to confess to God that you want to have your name written in the Book of Life. All you need to do is ask God to forgive you of your sins and decide to be faithful and obedient to God from this second forward. When you do, He will heal your spiritual heart so that when your earthly heart stops beating in one of those 1,440 earthly minutes, the first heavenly minute will begin.

Right now, you are alive in THIS minute, and there may only be 1,439 minutes more until your last minute comes. Not only is today the day of salvation, but this minute is the time! Don’t delay because a time is coming when you will not only have a minute, but will not have a SECOND (chance) left.

There is nothing like a fresh, sunshiny bouquet of flowers and likewise, a newborn baby is fresh and vibrant too, but be they babies or bouquets as time goes on they both shall wither and die. Then the question is: WHAT’s NEXT?

Job framed this eloquently in today’s scripture verse in that while the middle of the three stages of life may also be a flowering field in the sunshine, it can also be “Full Of Trouble” as well — as anyone that has been alive can attest! However when the flower of our field through life ends and the only flower left are the ones on our grave, the question then is indeed “What’s Next?”

The GOOD NEWS (literally 'Gospel') is that Jesus has conquered death and the grave and HE ALONE has the keys that can eternally free you from “Death and Hell” (Revelation 1:18) but in order to be unlocked from these two things “You must be Born Again” (John 3:7) and the way you do that is by agreeing with God that Christ is your only hope.

Friend, for you, the “What’s Next?” does not have to be Eternal DEATH, but Eternal LIFE. But how do you get there? Simple.

Agree with God that you are a sinner and ask Him to Save you from death and the grave and He will, then commit yourself to make Him #1 in your life, and not yourself.

Remember! That middle square called 'LIFE' will one day end, and only YOU have the power to walk through an unlocked door to the goodness of God’s blessing of eternity waiting for you. Do You believe this? And if so, will you do that today?

God Bless Your Day Jesus Loves Youoar is 2022, and a good question that most people never realize is, “Two-Thousand and Twenty Years after WHAT?”

As the picture here shows, many older buildings indicate the year with the letters “A.D.” which is Latin for “ANNO DOMINI” or “The Year of our LORD.” While this was a common practice for centuries in writing and historical documentation, over the last fifty years this often has been slyly and subtly changed to the letters CE.

Why?

We are living in an age that the Bible says are 'The End Times' where the name of God will be blasphemed, mocked, and minimized. Instead of honoring God as the LORD over man, Christ’s coming to earth has merely been marked as the 'CE that is, the — Christ Event.' The definition of “event” is a 'happening, occurrence, incident, or an affair.' In doing so, it has reduced the coming of Christ like to a previous news story that was simply a marker in time - much like we refer to December 7th or September 11th.

Friend, Jesus Christ is THE LORD and He is the FIRST and the LAST of ALL TIME. He was not merely an 'event' but the creator and LORD of all that is — including you and me and all of creation. He is the “Chief Cornerstone.” (1 Peter 2:7)

Are you honoring Him today as LORD, or is this just “2022”?
