Several Years Ago, I Was Called For Jury Duty. Upon Checking In, I Received My Juror Number, Was Directed

Several years ago, I was called for jury duty. Upon checking in, I received my juror number, was directed into a large room of a hundred people and told to come forward when my number was called.

After almost an hour of waiting, a clerk came in and announced: “Number 153”

Nobody stirred, and I assumed someone was not paying attention.

“Number 153?” The voice cried out again in a slightly louder note, and again no one answered. Then an exasperated cry of “Number 153!” and I realized that I WAS 153!

After I answered the call, I was one of the jurors selected, however if I wasn’t listening or chose to ignore the call, I could have NOT been “Chosen.”

God’s call to you is exactly like being in that room full of people. It’s easy to get preoccupied in this room of life, but Jesus is calling your name. As He said, 'many are called' - but in order to respond you must listen and pay attention to hear His voice.

Friend, this is true for you too. God is calling your number right now! Your name has been selected for heaven and eternal life as you read this, and the question is:

WILL YOU ANSWER THE CALL?

Nothing could have been more difficult than the assignment Jesus was given to him by the Father to die on the cross the most horrible of all deaths. As he was praying in the garden of Gethsemane, he was literally sweating blood and overcome with the suffering that was soon to come, and in his humanity said:

“Remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” Luke 22:42

On top of all that, he was betrayed by one of his own, arrested, unfairly tried, cruelly beaten, deserted by His disciples, and died a humiliating criminal’s death on a cross. Yet despite all this, it was doing GOD’S WILL and NOT his own that was paramount.

No one but the Son of God could do such a thing, but there are times like Jesus faced when we also must make the difficult choice to put aside our own wishes and submit to God’s will.

God’s way is not always the easy path, but it is always the right one.

Friend, when you are facing a difficult decision, turn to your heavenly Father and ask for His divine guidance and direction. Listen closely to His still small voice inside your heart and always do HIS WILL, and in the final outcome You Will ALWAYS Be Glad You Did.

There are three types of laws in the world:

► Physical Law (like gravity and motion), ► Legal Law (by authorities such as police or government) ► Spiritual Law (defined by God.)

For example, if someone jumps off a cliff, the law of gravity would be applied to a painful end. The consequence here would be immediate.

A driver breaking traffic law by driving recklessly as intoxicated or running a red light could hurt you or others, and there would be legal and possibly physical consequences. If the person at fault were to escape the scene, the consequence here may be delayed.

Spiritual Law is the most important of the three laws, but sadly is all too often shown the smallest respect. Why? Because unlike Physical or Legal Law, these types of transgressions can and often are hidden in secret or within the mind and heart. As a result, it is easy to think that since “no one is looking” that there is no consequence because if you are not caught, then 'logically' where is the crime? But the Bible tells us clearly that there is a consequence for all of our actions, whether they are done in public or in secret...“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10

My friend, do not make the mistake that if you do something in secret or do not get caught that you are “safe!!” There is a Day of Judgement and everything “Hidden in Secret” will be clearly known (Mark 4:22) and that consequence will be certain and conclusive! Therefore, run towards and obey God and not ourselves because “True safety is in the LORD.” (Proverbs 18:10)

Why was Jesus subjected to be tempted by the devil?

Well, for the same reason we all face every day, and that is, to learn how to successfully overcome temptation.

This hard test was an extreme example to show that no matter what the devil offered him, He was strong enough mentally, physically, and spiritually to overcome temptation and he did this by boldly declaring the Word of God to rebuke every temptation the devil offered Him. His example in the wilderness showed us how we also can be VICTORIOUS in our daily temptations as well.

Today, we too are living our lives in the 'Wilderness Of The World' where we are constantly exposed to The World, The Flesh, and The Devil. Yet, because “The power that raise Christ from the dead dwells in us” (Romans 8:11) and by also standing on the Word of God as Jesus showed us, we too can overcome temptation.

Friend, if you find yourself at times seemingly unable to turn away from a temptation, just as Christ had victory, so you too can have victory.Remember Jesus’ example and Embrace the Wilderness!

'Religion' these days is embarrassing, especially if you ascribe to anything Christian. That’s why a message like this routinely gets swiped past because it’s just another message about somebody’s 'imaginary friend' encouraging you to agree with something you don’t want or think you need. Either that, or you ARE a believer in God, but you don’t want to be embarrassed in front of others that you agree with messages about God or Christ. If so, please re-read today’s verse to see what God (that is…if you even believe in one or not) says about those that act this way.

You see, it is NOT belief in God that saves you, or UNBELIEF in God that condemns you, it is the the DENIAL of God where you condemn yourself.

In this connected, socially driven world people crave as many views and likes as possible thinking that the more they get ,the more they also will be LIKED and accepted. While it is great to have friends - be they real or virtual - the best “FRIEND” that you should seek a LIKE from is GOD.

If you scroll past HIM, He will scroll past YOU.

Do you know anyone famous who was born on your birthday?

The famous actor John Wayne was born on May 26, 1907 and died June 11, 1979. Everyone has lived through a June 11th and through all the other the 364 days in the year. One of those days is the day you were born, and the other is the day you will die, but which day is it? Have you ever thought that you have lived through that day many, many, times and never knew it?

So we all have two very important days; the day that we arrive in this life, and the day that we depart from this life. The most important question is; what happens after that second date? Do you know?? If you do not or are unsure, READ ON...

Here is the thing...you have to make a decision about some key important beliefs. For example, do you believe that God Almighty - the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob - sent Jesus Christ to die for your sins, and that believing and accepting of what he did will save your soul?

That’s it...the ball is in your court! You have 100% freedom to either reject or accept Christ. Now when that day of the year comes around and your time on earth expires, are you ready to accept your eternal fate? Don’t just think about it - ACT!

That calendar day will come...(someday). Please be ready and do not delay.

Make that decision TODAY, because the day you ASSUME will happen tomorrow may never come, and as Hebrews 9:27 urgenly concludes and warns all says:

“Then Cometh THE JUDGEMENT”
