Morning Christian Words of Encouragement – “Are YOU 100% sure, that you are Saved and headed to Heaven when you die? Are you sure YOUR name IS written in the Heavenly “Book of Life?” Is there absolutely not a shadow of a doubt in your mind, that your Salvation is already secured and you’re just waiting on the good Lord to call you home to be with Him? If the answer is “No, Not Sure, I Think So, Maybe, or Probably, then you need to get busy right now working on fixing that. You need to be totally sure where your Soul will spend eternity!” And AMEN goes right here….

Thought For Today – “Blessings Attract More Blessings.”
Good Morning my Christian Family! How are you doing this Friday morning, good I hope? Have you had a good work week, I sure hope so? Mine has been a busy one, but not too bad at all. Only one more week and it will be Thanksgiving! It is the weekend, and I am ready to relax, watch my son Dawson perform in his play “Beauty and the Beast,” and get back in the deer woods on my stand! Ironically, all that quiet time I spent last weekend in my stand, I used it to spend some quality time with the Lord! Man, talk about a very humbling, but also an incredible experience! I actually am not one of those people who find sitting in a deer stand for hours boring. I view is as a Blessing to have that quiet time, well besides the frequent rustling of leaves by all the little squirrels that just for whatever reason seem to be attracted to my immediate area LOL! But on a serious note, that quiet time in the stand gives you the opportunity not only to spend some good quality time with the good Lawd, but to reflect back on either you day, week, year so far, and how Blessed I am. With that being said, it was placed on my heart this morning to talk about, “Blessings Attract More Blessings.” Now I know THAT will PREACH right there! And AMEN goes right here! Can I get an AMEN on that subject title??? Now if you would be so kind as to turn with me in your Bibles to the book of Genesis the 12th chapter and start with ohhhh say the 2 verse, and read all the way up to the 20th verse.
As usual, for the sake of time and space in this email constraints, I will try to paraphrase what these verses are saying. Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You Lord with a bowed down head and a very humbled heart, asking for the wisdom of Solomon to bring forth this message you have placed into my heart so that it reaches the very depths of every Soul who reads it. I also ask Lord, that you let this message marinate in the hearts of each reader as well and that it Blesses them in a mighty way in their lives somehow, In Your Sweet Darling Son Jesus Christ’s name, and the Christian folks said “AMEN!” Now, in the passages of verses listed above, God instructs Abraham to move from the city of Ur, to the city of Harran. Abraham was 75 years old when he set out to the city of Harran. He took his wife and also Lot went with him too. God made Abraham a promise, that He was going to Bless him so much, that his Blessings would reach all over the world, in exchange for his obedience to Him. If you know this story, in the 9th chapter of Genesis, God tested Abraham by asking him to sacrifice his son Isaac on a mountain. Now hold on, hold on, wait, wait, don’t freak out! He did not allow Abraham to go thru with it, but Abraham was willing to do it all the same. God stopped him before he got to that point of putting Isaac to death as a sacrifice. However, this showed God that Abraham was willing to obey Him at all costs. This is the reason God poured out such a massive Blessing onto Abraham and his life. Here’s what God promised Abraham, “I will Bless you in such a way that your Blessing will impact the whole world! Not only that, but I will also Bless anyone else who Blesses you too! And if anyone curses you, I will curse them! Wow! You talk about a promise of Blessings for the ages!
Now, I know you are probably asking, “Okay that’s all fine and dandy, but how does that have anything to do with me?” What that promise means to you and me, is that if you’ll obey God’s Commandments, and if you’ll live for Him, He will pour out unlimited Blessings over your life too. But that’s not all, God’s word in that story above also tells us that God will use all of His resources and capabilities to not only Bless you, but everyone who is willing to Bless you will be Blessed too! If you are obedient to Him, God will put in place a Blessing cycle that will continue on and on and on in the form of Blessings. Now, I need you to understand, I heard Pastor Ron Carpenter make a statement in his sermon concerning this, that “it doesn’t mean that you won’t experience loss. However, even in your losses you will be Blessed as God will return what you lost more times fold.” Now to understand what that means, you may lose a job, a husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, friend, house, car, friends, etc…but when you are under the “Blessing Umbrella” of God, He will restore what you lost with even better Blessings. That is what my subject title means, “Blessings Attract More Blessings.” Now, let me throw something else out at you, “IF YOU BECOME A BLESSING TO SOMEONE ELSE, GOD WILL BLESS YOU! And if that person you Blessed, will go and Bless someone else, and that person will go and Bless someone else too, you have created a Blessing chain reaction that has the potential to reach the farthest horizons, and hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions of people!” Can I leave you with a question to ponder and answer today if I may?
“Are You Exercising Your Ability To Be A Blessing, In Order To Attract More Blessings To Your Life?”
Can I Get An AMEN?
“Today, choose to “Ride or Die” with Jesus Christ! Afterall, isn’t that what He did for us on the Cross?”
