July 30

Running with Jesus

Acts 1:11”….Why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”

     Angels announced the birth of Jesus, announced he had risen from the dead, and now they are at the ascension announcing He is coming back just like He left and a trumpet will sound on that day He returns.  There were eyewitnesses that recorded what happened and Matthew even tells us that some arose from the dead and gave a witness to all these events.

     People are making fun and saying all these events are just myths and fairy tales.  God’s Word even gives us signs to look for that even, indicates we are nearing the return of Christ.  So many are talking about the signs as never before, one special sign is nations will turn on Israel.  Read and listen to the news and you will see that this event is getting greater day by day.

     As Christians we understand that Israel was the chosen nation to carry the gospel to the world and the Messiah would come from their descendants.  If you look at history, any nation that has turned upon Israel has always come under judgment.  We have been allies for years.  We better not touch Israel!!!

     Jesus is going to return soon and we better be prepared for that day or we will be in trouble.  America had better get her head out of liberalism, materialism, and pleasures and WAKE UP!  This is a wake-up call friends for us to start a return to God and Jesus Christ.  I am talking not so much to the world because Jesus says if my people would repent and return I will heal their land.  So let me rephrase the previous statement , the Christians better get their heads out of liberalism, materialism, and pleasures.  God is looking for real and will not tolerate pretending and play acting when it comes to worship! 

Father, we come repenting and ask you to forgive and help us. Help us as a church to wake up and get real.  I know at times we are so lukewarm You want to spew us out.   Send a Spirit filled Holy Ghost revival amongst us that we might have the power to go tell others before it is too late.

Tomorrow: They are in one accord ,our new running course is birthing the Church age and this is our life time emerging to carry the Gospel.
