Weekly Thought (week of 10-21-2024) [PART 1]

"I love the Lord, because He has heard [and now hears] my voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live."

Psalm 116:1-2 (AMPC)

Think about it!

I am grateful that we have a God who we can go to with our concerns and questions. I am thankful that I can come to Him with my prayer requests for this nation (The United States of America), our children, our neighborhoods and our world. Our God wants to hear from His saints! Our God wants to hear our cries for the conditions of this world. There is so, so much going with the violence in our land (shootings on the streets, shooting on mass transit, shootings in our schools, and wars). There is so much going with mental illness in our communities. There are so many people that are sick in their bodies. There are so many people affected by the massive amounts of hurricanes & tornadoes (whether they lost loved ones or their houses were damaged/destroyed). We have a presidential election coming in November that can decide in which direction this country will move, whether fixing the economy and other things that will take us forward, or things that will take us backward & destroy this country.

Yes, we need to run (NOT WALK, BUT RUN) to God with every need and concern possible. It will only take God to work things out for the good!! Our God will never get tired of hearing from us. We can pray the same prayer daily for the next year and He won't get tired of us. Just remember to NOT get tired of running to Him, the Author and the Finisher of our Faith!!

SPECIAL MESSAGE TO NON-BELIEVERS
************************************************

HOW TO GO TO HEAVEN?

If you had died the minute you started to read this invitation, would you have the assurance that you would go to heaven?

The Bible says there are 4 things a person must do to go to heaven:

1. REALIZE YOU ARE A SINNER. The Bible says "All have sinned, all fall short of God's glorious standard" (Romans 3:23 NLT)

2. RECOGNIZE JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS FOR YOU. The Bible tells us that "God showed his great love for us
by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners". (Romans 5:8 NLT)

3. REPENT OF YOUR SIN. The Bible says, "Now turn from your sins and turn to God, so you can be cleansed of your sins". (Acts 3:19 NLT)

4. RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST INTO YOUR LIFE. The Bible tells us, "Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved". (Romans 10:13 NLT)

Receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior is the next step in your spiritual journey. IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE THIS YET, WHY NOT TAKE A MOMENT
RIGHT NOW AND MAKE THAT COMMITMENT?

Remember, TOMORROW is ***NOT*** guaranteed!!
