Okay, so you’ve come to recognize the power and glory of an Almighty God, and you’ve been thinking you might want to commit yourself to His Cause?
Maybe you know by rote the kinds of things that they ask you to say, and how they all want you to “invite Jesus into your heart.” The invitation to faith has been offered to you before, lots of times actually. And you’ve been given the opportunity to become a believer more than once.
You know how the invitation goes, when those fanatic guys come around, always trying to knock on the door to your heart. Sheesh! Those guys...! Who do they think they are anyway— Jesus, or somebody?! The invitation says:
All it really takes is a simple but sincere little prayer— one that you should make up in your own words. The prayer for deliverance and for God's leadership should come from your own heart!
So, if you say the prayer and commit yourself to become a believer, what’s that going to mean for your current lifestyle? What’s it going to cost you? Do you just have to say a lot of stuff and think it for a while, or do you have to actually DO stuff too??
Yeah, it does mean that. You have to repent of evil and turn away from your old lifestyle.
You have to start loving God, and you have to start loving other people. And you have to start fighting on God’s side against all the Dark Forces of Evil that are overwhelming our Earth.
Yes, a Spirit Wind is blowing through our world— it’s the power of the Holy Spirit of God, and it’s trying to rescue just as many persons as it possibly can. But there’s also a Spirit of Darkness that’s trying to overcome all the Earth.
You have to commit yourself to one side or the other. Every adult human on Earth has to be committed to the Light or be a servant of the Darkness.
The Children of Light are engaged in a Great War against the Children of Darkness. It’s not quite finished yet, and things are getting tough for the Believers of God. We need all the allies we can get!
The War for Supremacy is a supernatural war which pits Satan against the Creator God. God’s Adversary is trying to steal the throne of the Most High. That old devil hopes to rule all the Earth one day.
The War isn’t over yet, and we’d like to have your help in the combat against the Dark Forces which are trying to take over our planet.
It’s time for you to get courageous, time for you to come to the aid of the planet that gave you birth...!
God’s looking for a few good heros, some brave persons who are willing to fight for Him... some who are eager to live on the side of Light and Right...
You could be just the one we need on God’s team... the one who can make all the difference in our battle with the forces of Darkness...
You are just one person, but you may be critical to the War Effort and the side of Light. Yes, we do have some Righteous Angels on our side... but we need you too.
You need to get serious and make a commitment to the side of the Good Guys. If you join us in our struggle against evil, you can help God in His battle to transform the Earth into a better place.
Make no mistake about it: There is a very real war going on between God and Satan, who is the Adversary of God. That devil is also the Adversary of Humankind.
So if you commit yourself to the side of Light and the side of Right, what will be required of you? Will God make a lot of demands on your time? What’s to be expected of you?
WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU, IF YOU’VE BECOME A BELIEVER...?
You may have seen the story of The Three Musketeers once or twice, and you probably thought that they were pretty cool with their motto of “All for one, and one for all!”
To be a loyal soldier of God, you have to realize that there are Three Persons in the Triune God of Heaven, and you can better conceive this Divine Godhead if you understand that these Three Persons of God are “All in One, and One in All!”
That’s what made Jesus so Divine while He walked on Earth in a human body. God the Son had existed long before Jesus was born, and had been in existence since the Creation of our Universe!
“All in One, and One in All!” would be a pretty good slogan for the followers of God as well, since the Holy Spirit of God takes up residence in the heart of every True Believer among the human beings of planet Earth! The Triune God’s Third Person— the Holy Spirit— is Omnipresent and Omniscient, just like God The Father, so He can be in all believers simultaneously!
This is the God Whom you would serve... a Holy God of Light, and Love, and Righteousness...! He is a God of Holiness Who deserves the loyalty of Humankind!
Choose to serve Him Who is Perfectly Righteous, not that Evil One who comes from Hell, and give Him all your loyalty.
Serve Him well, like a knight with a golden aura, and have enthusiasm for His Cause! Take His Light to your local neighborhood and to all the nations which surround you!
If you are already a follower of this King of the Universe, then forget not the promise of Loyalty which you have made to Him...
Fight for the right, and never surrender! All-in-One, and One-in-All— give us strength, Lord! Let us carry the banner of Christ proudly before the little kings of this Earth and the leaders of the nations...
All-in-One, and One-in-All! Give us Your Strength, Lord!
It’s all uphill from here on, but at least you are heading in the right direction. All Glory to the King. You are on your way to Heaven.
All Glory to the King. Let it be so.
....
Father God wants YOU to join Salvation’s Army! Become one of the Best... be smart and join the winning team! It’s the only way to come out on top in the end!
The alternative is to stay on the losing side... and then you’ll end up at the bottom of a Pit of Fire, with a nasty guy named Satan and an ugly bunch of demons. Woe, woe... and whoa now! Hey, that’s a fate that shouldn’t appeal to anyone with an ounce of good sense...
Let us reiterate...
Father God wants YOU to join Salvation’s Army! Become one of the Best... be smart and join the winning team! It’s the only way to come out on top in the end!
Yeah, that’s right— we’re the World’s Finest, the Good Guys who are “the salt of the Earth.” Admittedly, we fight for truth, for what’s right, and for justice... just like those “square” police officers that a lot of people try to avoid!
So why do we end up thinking that we’re “better” than all the rest? What makes us so special— what sets us apart from all the other evil sinners in the world?
Only the fact that we’ve accepted salvation through Christ, and have thus gotten forgiveness from our sins... and the fact that we’ve turned to Jesus Christ as a source of Light.
....
You can share the Light of Jesus Christ, can reflect His Holy Light in a Cruel World, and thus become a point of illumination in the darkness of this world.
God’s Light can become a Lamp unto your feet and a Light unto your path, if you choose to accept rescue and salvation that is available in Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God Almighty.
You can even live to see the Light of God flowing through you and reaching out to other people in our world...!
It’s time your mind was illuminated by Jesus Christ, the Holy One Who is the Light of the World!
God Almighty, the Holy and Righteous Leader of the Armies of Light, is looking for a few good followers. You can share this wonderful light by placing Jesus Christ, Who in the Trinity of God created our Universe, upon a throne at the center of your heart! He deserves that position and that kind of respect. He was first God The Son, but when born in human flesh He became the only sinless and righteous person who ever lived. Yet He sacrificed Himself on a cross for your sake, taking all guilt and sins upon Himself, in order that you and I— that all people— that whoever wishes for salvation might be rescued from the due punishment of sins.
If you will do this, you will gain a new contentment and peace as you accept God's organizational plan for the Universe . . . because you'll be letting God be the Ruler of All Things in this world . . . and in your own life.
All it really takes is a simple but sincere little prayer— one that you should make up in your own words. The prayer for deliverance and for God's leadership should come from your own heart!
Some important elements that you might include are:
1) your desire to turn away from the wrongness or evil of your
past life, and your remorse over the sins of your previous life,
2) your desire for God's forgiveness and mercy through the act
of sacrifice of His Only Begotten Son (Jesus Christ),
3) your desire to know God's leadership in your life,
4) your desire to learn more of God's truth through Bible study,
5) your desire to find fellowship with genuine believers.
Jesus said of the people of God that "The kingdom of heaven is like a net that God has cast into the sea, and it gathers of every kind: When it is full, it will be pulled up on the shore, where they will sit down to sort the catch, and they will collect the good fish in baskets, but the bad things will be thrown away. This is the way it will be at the end of the world: The angels shall come forth, and they will separate the unrighteous persons from among those justified by God . . ."
Excerpt from the Book of Matthew, who was a constant
companion of Jesus and his devoted disciple [13:47-50].
Jesus spoke of the people of God as being like a seed that is growing secretly, saying, “As for the kingdom of God, it is as if a person should cast seed into the ground; and then he sleeps, and he rises up night and day to see that the seed is springing forth and always growing up, although he knows not exactly how. The Earth is bringing forth fruit from itself; first the blade, then the ears of corn, and after that the fullness of the ears of corn. And when all the fruit of the Earth has come forth, immediately God will use the sickle to reap the fields, because the harvest-time has come."
Excerpt from the book of Mark [4:26-29].
It's also important for all of us to remember this:
1) WE SPEAK TO GOD by our prayers.
2) GOD SPEAKS TO US by the words of Holy Scripture.
So we must try to read His words and His Book
just as often as we possibly can!!
God wants to bless you for all your long efforts to understand this very confusing and difficult Universe in which we live— so let Him reward your search with the grace of His forgiveness and enlightenment!
