Heed God's Warnings

Good morning, Happy Souls!

Bill Keller wrote a powerful devotional today
that I highly recommend to you.  He has given
me permission to copy his e-mails, and I'm sure
he would be happy if you would share this with
people you know as well.

Many people describe their theology to me.  I
am always curious where the beliefs come from.
Often the answer is that "It's obvious."  No
scriptural reference is attached. 

Be cautious about trying to be your own
religious prophet.  You might make a mistake!

Please read on.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL   WEDNESDAY MARCH 1, 2006
(Hebrews 9:27, 2 Peter 2:9, 2 Thessalonians 1:7,8)

Will you ignore the warning?  In the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina, I listened with great interest to
the interviews with the people in New Orleans who
decided to stay, especially when they were asked why
they ignored the warning to leave.  The majority of
the people simply stated they didn't believe the
warning.  One after another, they shared how they
have heard these warnings over and over through the
years and nothing ever happened, so they decided to
just ignore the warning.  We will probably never know
how many people died from Hurricane Katrina, but
suffice it to say the vast majority of those who
perished lost their life because they ignored the
warning.

As you read the Old Testament, God sent His spokesmen,
the prophets, to warn the people from time to time. 
Sadly, in most cases the people ignored the warning
from God and ended up paying a HUGE price.  Today, we
have God's Word that clearly warns us what will happen
when we choose to live our lives in rebellion to Him. 
Unfortunately, most people in this world have chosen
to ignore those warnings.  Like many of the people in
New Orleans, they simply don't believe that God will
judge each person for their sins, that God will judge
nations who rebel against Him, and that ultimately God
will judge this entire world and bring it to an end. 
God has clearly warned us about His judgment in His
Word, but most people choose to ignore Him.

Many times over these past 78 months I have warned
you specifically about God's pending judgment on the
United Sates because of our rebellion to Him.  It is
a clear warning supported by God's Word that if we
don't turn from our wickedness, God will send down
His wrath upon our land.  I'm afraid that most
non-Christians laugh at such a notion, choosing not
believe it will ever happen.  Worse though, I am
afraid most Christians have heard the warnings so
many times and haven't seen anything happen, they
choose to ignore these warnings.

That is why our nation is now deep in rebellion to
God and there seems to be little desire or motivation
to change.  Heathen who openly live in rebellion to
God and Believers who don't really believe what God
has said.  We have embraced the false gods and idols
of this world, bowing down to and worshipping them. 
We are lost in every kind of sexual sin imaginable,
no longer having any shame but actually being proud
of our perverse choices. We watched in horror as
terrorists were responsible for 3,000 of our
citizens being killed on 9/11, deeply moved by those
who lose their lives in natural disasters . . . . 
Even though we have God's Word and have seen His
judgment on nations for their rebellion throughout
6,000 years of human history, we have chosen to
ignore God's warning about His judgment on our nation.

While God has called me in these last days to sound
the trumpet of warning to this nation and world of
God's pending judgment, my number one job is to warn
you of His pending judgment in YOUR LIFE!  God has
explicitly warned us in His Word that those who die
in their sin will be lost for all eternity. I want
you to know today that because of your sins, you are
separated from the God who created you and loves you
so much.  It is out of His infinite love for you that
He has made a way for your sins to be forgiven and
for you to spend all eternity with Him when this brief
life is over.

Let me be blunt with you.  One day, YOU will die. 
That is a fact.  At that moment, you will stand before
God and there will only be one question, "Do you know
Jesus as your Savior by faith?"  That is a "yes" or
"no" answer. You won't have the opportunity to stand
there and say, "no, but."  God is not going to be
interested in your excuses.  Each person in their
life is responsible for accepting or rejecting Jesus
Christ into their heart and life by faith and each
person will be held accountable by God for all
eternity for that choice.

Let me ask you a simple question.  If you died this
very moment, do you have the complete assurance without
any doubt that when you stand before God He will
welcome you into His presence for all eternity because
you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ?

I love you and care about you so much.  Sadly, many
people died in New Orleans because they ignored the
warning.  They chose to either not believe the
warning or because they had heard that same warning
before and nothing happened, figured nothing would
happen this time either.  This nation, this world has
been warned by God in His Word and by many of His
servants throughout the years of His coming judgment. 
Just like many of the people in New Orleans, this
nation and this world have chosen to ignore the
warnings from God.  One day, very soon, God's judgment
will be unleashed on this nation and on this world for
its rebellion exactly as God said He would in the Bible.

Today, maybe for the first time, maybe for the 100th
time, maybe for the 1,000th time, you are hearing the
warning from God that the moment you die you will
stand before God and be judged by Him.  If you die
having rejected Christ, your soul will spend all
eternity apart from the God who created you.  You
will be lost for all eternity.  God's desire is that
ALL come to repentance, that none be lost.  By putting
your faith and trust in Jesus Christ you can have the
assurance that at the moment you die you will be
forever with the Lord, spending all eternity with Him. 
That is the choice each person that lives has to make,
that is the choice that YOU have to make.

I will be praying for you.  Praying that you will not
be like so many in New Orleans who for whatever reason
chose to ignore the warning.  The warning I share with
you today concerns your eternal soul.  I am asking you
to not only HEAR this warning today, but RESPOND to
this warning today.

Let me ask you a simple question again.  If you died
this very moment, do you have the complete assurance
without any doubt that when you stand before God He
will welcome you into His presence for all eternity
because you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ? 
If you do not have that assurance, please go to:
www.liveprayer.com/bdy_salvatn.html  Pray, ask God
to open your heart to the truth of the words there,
and make the choice today to ask Jesus Christ into
your heart and life by faith.  Please don't ignore
this warning!!!

In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
