When Jesus comes,

Will you get to cross over the bridge to the other side ?

Where there will be Peace,  Love,  Happiness and no more pain or sorrows 
throughout all eternity.

Please read the following text.

T'was The Night,  Before Jesus Came


T'was the night before Jesus came, And all through the house 
Not a creature was praying, Not one in the house. 

Their Bibles were lain On the shelf without care... 
In hopes that Jesus would not come there.

The children were dressing to crawl into bed, 
Not once ever kneeling or bowing a head.

And Mom in her rocker with baby on her lap 
Was watching the Late Show while I took a nap. 

When out of the East there arose such a clatter, 
I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash 
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash! 

When what to my wondering eyes should appear 
But angels proclaiming that Jesus was here. 

With a light like the sun sending forth a bright ray, 
I knew in a moment this must be THE DAY! 

The light of His face made me cover my head 
It was Jesus! returning just like He had said. 

And though I possessed worldly wisdom and wealth, 
I cried when I saw Him in spite of myself. 

In the Book of Life which He held in His hand 
Was written the name of every saved man. 

He spoke not a word as He searched for my name; 
When He said, "It's not here", my head hung in shame.

The people whose names had been written with love 
He gathered to take to His Father above. 

With those who were ready He rose without a sound 
While all the rest were left standing around. 

I fell to my knees, but it was too late; 
I had waited too long and thus sealed my fate. 

I stood and I cried as they rose out of sight; 
Oh, if I only had been ready tonight. 

In the words of this poem the meaning is clear; 
The coming of Jesus is drawing near. 

There's only one life and when comes the last call 
We'll find that the Bible was true after all! 

May the joy and peace Of His presence 
Be with you until He comes again.

I have a question for all that read the above text.  
When Jesus comes, will your name be in the 
Lamb's Book of Life ?

Think very seriously about what will happen to
YOU,   if your name isn't there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please remember this,
 
God is not like some old man setting on his throne saying,  
lets you and I make a deal.

He has given us humans the whole deal and it's in his word the Bible.
And
Believe it or not,     
There is no other deal.
Either accept it or reject it.


You might also keep this in mind, There 
WILL NOT
be any foreign religions, or church denominations
in the
 Kingdom of God.
 
If you think your foreign religion or church denomination will get
you there, you are in a world of hurt as the expression goes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please, don't hunt up excuses to give like,

 I have my own beliefs
or
I have my own religion
or
I'm a good person, God wouldn't do that to me
and
Also, I don't need you to tell me what to believe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" Also may I say, don't become angry at me,  (Don) "

God and You will decide where you will spend eternity,
I've only told you about it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Again, you need to think very seriously about what 
will happen to YOU,   if your name isn't there in the 
Lamb's Book of Life.

Why doesn't God hear My Prayers? 


"Prayer is the lifting of our hearts and minds to God. 
For no matter what we're saying, we're asking, "Do you love me?" 
And no matter how He answers, He's saying, "Yes, I do." 

Mother Angelica in her book, "Answers Not Promises" pgs. 95, 96 

It may seem to us (by our understanding) that God isn't listening or doesn't care 
sometimes. That maybe God only hears the prayers of a chosen few saints long ago
or written about in the Bible. Maybe you even know some people today who claim 
that God always hears their prayers ~ and it only makes you feel 
angry and depressed. 

"Where is God today ~ for ME?" 

"I've tried praying. I've prayed so hard for this or that and no matter how hard I 
pray, it just doesn't work for me." 

People like this might seem to have this dark cloud hanging over their heads. 
They may even seem more 'unlucky' than most. Their lives may be one string of 
bad luck after another. Almost like they've been jinxed or cursed somehow. 

The same may be true for healing. They may have been praying for years for
a special physical healing for themselves or someone close to them ~ to no avail. 
They've gone to prayer meetings, healing services and retreats, and prayed like
crazy ~ still nothing. If anything, it seems the condition has gotten worse! They're
at the point of despair. 

"What am I doing wrong?" They ask themselves. 

Lets take a brief look at some possible reasons why some people's prayers may 
seem to go unanswered. The following is a little checklist of considerations
we should be aware of in our relationship with God. 

Know that it's never God who distances Himself from us ~ rather, it's us who 
through our rebelliousness and sin ~ distance ourselves from the Love and
Mercy of God. 

If we trust in God our Heavenly Father completely, we can
be at peace ~ even in calamity. Knowing that our lives are
in his hands, and that he won't allow anything to happen to
us that won't be for the greater benefit of our souls. 

What greater security could we have? The people and things of 
this world will all fail us ~ but God our loving Father is 
a faithful God and will never fail us ~ and never stop
loving us ~ Because He's on our side! 

So when we ask for something while believing and trusting
in the Almighty ~ and don't receive it ~ we should give thanks
to God for not giving us something that would not be good for
us to have right now. 

Humble ourselves with the thought that maybe we are undeserving of 
what we are asking for. But realize also, even a "No" could mean 
"Not right now." It's all in His perfect timing. Understanding this concept and 
putting it into practice, is the beginning of abiding in the 
perfect Will of God ~ which is the secret to
peace and happiness. 

Complete Surrender to the Will of God 
is the Secret to Happiness and Peace 

Continue to pray. Pray constantly! And pray for big things
like for instance... Your own conversion!! Rejoice and be 
Thankful always and Trust God with all your heart! Stop
worrying! It's all in His hands. And you will see a
remarkable change in your life and how God
has indeed answered your prayers!
 

 
The Critical Importance of Prayer: 


"If you pray you are sure of saving your soul. 
If you do not pray you are just as sure to lose 
your soul." 
~ St. Alphonsus Liguori ~ 


"No prayer, no power. 
A little prayer, a little power. 
A lot of prayer, a lot of power! 
Never forget this."
 

Have you ever been just sitting there and all
of a sudden you feel like doing something nice
for someone you care for...THAT'S GOD...he talks
to you through the Holy Spirit.

Have you ever been down and out and nobody seems
to be around for you to talk to...THAT'S GOD ...
He wants you to talk to him.

Have you ever been thinking about somebody that
you haven't seen in a long time and then next
thing you know you see them or receive a phone
call from them...THAT'S GOD...there is no such
thing as "coincidence."

Have you ever received something wonderful that
you didn't even ask for, like money in the mail,
a debt that had mysteriously been cleared, or a
coupon to a department store where you had just
seen something you wanted, but couldn't afford...
THAT'S GOD...he knows the desires of your heart...

Have you ever been in a situation and you had no
clue how it is going to get better, but now you
look back on it...THAT'S GOD...he passes us
through tribulation to see a brighter day...
