Get Up Offa That Thing!!! 2/23/25
Psalm 39:4-5 (KJV)
4 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.
5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
WHERE WILL YOU BE IN 10 YEARS???? That is the QUESTION of the hour!!!
As I “enjoyed” a “wonderful” HALL MARK movie with my wife a few days/weeks ago, THAT was the theme of the movie.
The reason I wonder if that “enjoyable” movie was days or weeks ago is because I have felt like a ping-pong movie for days/ weeks now.
Holidays, weather, sickness, “cares of THIS life” has befuddled and hindered me from my God-given duties of preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ as I should.
I APOLOGIZE!!!
As mama used to say, “THE BEST LAID PLANS OF MICE AND MEN OFTEN GO ASTRAY!!!” And we all say AMEN!!!!
I have sat on this message for weeks now:
WHERE WILL I BE IN 10 YEARS???? That is the QUESTION of the hour!!!
When I understood the message in the a fore mentioned movie my first thought was, that is well asked when I was in my 20's, 30's etc., BUT now I am O-L-D!!!!!
When I have inquired of others my age, too many have simply replied, “IN HEAVEN!”
But wait a minute/hold on here. Is not our President pushing 80???? Is not Paul McCartney still headlining shows at 80 plus and is not Mick Jagger and Rod Stewart still singing and dancing across sold out venues around the world?????
Heed and hear the words of OLD Caleb:
Joshua 14:10-13 (KJV)
10 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.
11 As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.
12 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.
13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
Caleb and Joshua ALONE were the only two who weathered 40 years IN FAITH and because of their FAITHFULNESS they and they ALONE inherited the PROMISES!!!
Hebrews 11:32 (KJV)
32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
Hebrews 11:33 (KJV)
33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Just a cursory reading of the CHRISTIAN HALL OF FAME-HEBREWS CHAPTER 11 should encourage and invigorate the faintest of our Christian hearts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beloved, Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 80 when they began their “ministry!!!”
PS-I believe Moses also was 80 plus when God CALLED him!!!!???? EIGHTY PLUS!!
I AM NOT READY TO DIE YET!!!
And YES, I well know that just one errant cell or blood clot, just one plane falling out the sky, just one automobile wreck, one fall COULD end my life and/or way of life..............................
BUT.................. Let US say together today:
Psalm 118:17 (KJV)
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
TODAY, I declare/implore/beseech ANY of you reading this to NOT give up or give in!!
WHERE WILL YOU BE IN 10 YEARS???? That is the QUESTION of the hour!!!
It has taken me two weeks to preach this one sermon!!!
Rome was NOT built in one day!!!
James 5:7-8 (KJV)
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
A SET BACK IS MERELY A SET UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOUR life is NOT over or defeated............
WHERE WILL YOU BE IN 10 YEARS????
I WANT TO SHOUT THIS FROM THE ROOF TOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forgive me, BUT......................
