I wonder how many of the
readers believe, that I am one hard-headed knucklehead, when I want something.
All you really had to do to know is follow this blog, while I am talking about
my past to understand, that this is true.
I have run crossed something new, which I desire to have, and I don’t
plan to let up, until I have it!!
How many of you realize
that we serve, a totally awesome God? Our God has all the power, that it takes
to save a soul, that is destined, for an eternity, in the flames of Hell. We do
realize that, Father will not violate a person’s free will. However, He can
make that person so completely miserable, that they have little choice, but
accept the sacrifice, that Jesus made for our sins.
I know a man, that if
there is not an intervention, on his behalf, he will be in hell upon, his death
bed. This is a vile man, who I can really say, that I don’t like him at all. He
is not even a likeable person. He has no redeeming qualities about him. He
knows that there is a God, but he has no use for God. This man cannot complete
a sentence, without taking our Lord’s name in vein.
There is a verse, in the
book of Matthew, where Jesus is talking about the greatest commandments. I
figure that if Jesus was serious enough about saying this, then I need to take
Him seriously. Does that make sense to
you? Anyway, let me post these verses on
the page, and you can draw your own conclusion.
Matthew 22:37-39 Jesus said unto
him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38
This is
the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is
like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
I believe that
Jesus had as good a time as anybody else ever has. I also believe that, when He
said something, that He was as serious, as anybody has ever been. Has there
ever been a person in your life, that you really didn’t care for, little lone
liked? This guy that I am talking about fits, into this category perfect,
actually, both categories.
Jesus never commanded
me to like anybody. However, He commanded me to love them. Now, if Jesus loved
me enough to save my soul, from the fiery flames of Hell, how could I call
myself a Christian by denying this man my love? Honestly, this man is no worse
off, than I was in my past. Whatever that I didn’t do, as he does, I would make
up for it in other ways. Actually, I might have been even worse than He is!!
Ok, I guess if we
have pet projects, or whatever that we choose to call them, this man is mine. I
plan on praying this man, into a relationship, with my Jesus. He is very
adamant about denying Father any access into his life, that I don’t know if he
has anybody praying for him, other than us.
Did you catch that?
Yes, I did say us,
because I am depending on everybody, that reads this post to bombard the gates
of Heaven, with at least one prayer, for this lost sinner. We might very well
be the difference, in this man going to Heaven, or spending an eternity in
Hell. Seriously, wouldn’t you like for all those people, which you really don’t
care for, to go to Heaven?
This is the greatest testimony to Jesus Christ that I can think of doing. If He came to the earth, and gave His life, so that we could spend eternity with Him, in the land called Heaven, be it far from me, to deny anybody access, to those pearly gates. Just how great is that commandment? Let’s see what Jesus said in the next verse.
Matthew 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Yep,….that
right,…..I had a feeling, that this was pretty important commandment. Not that
I am trying to rewrite the Word of God, and I am certainly not trying to
change, any part of it. I am not even attempting to add to it. I simply want to
point out, what should be the obvious, to the Christian. Wouldn’t it be fair to
say, that this verse implies that, we are to love the unlovable?
This man is very
unlovable, and the only friends, that he socialized with are all unlovable, in
their own rite. I don’t know if he has any Christians, in his family to pray
for him. Actually, I don’t know, if this man has anybody, that knows Jesus, to
pray for him. I don’t even know, if he has hardened his heart, for so long to
the things of God, that he has passed the point, of no return.
This I do know
though. I know if there is any force, in this world, that can crack through
that heart of stone. It will be Holy Spirit!!
Holy Spirit has been trained very well in cracking the uncrackable
hearts.
Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new
spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your
flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
A heart transplant is what
this verse is talking about. I have got one of my very own, and I was
unlovable, at the time, that it took place. Has anybody else got one,
when they were unlovable? Let’s pray this old grouchy heathen man into, the
gates of Heaven!! Ain’t God Great?
….Much Love
