Let us be thankful to God and praise Him, that no one can cheat their way into His kingdom. It is not because He refuses to open the door for them, but because they are unable to enter.His sheep know His voice, and they follow Him. The sheep being those who love the truth so much that they will rather humble themselves before God than deceive themselves. This is why we understand grace, because we know we need it. The reason these people do not have or understand grace or mercy is because they do not recognize their own need for grace or mercy.For this reason, Jesus said, "John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did." And thus, those who are blind will see, and those who see will become blind.Listen to me: anyone who is willing will be saved, but anyone who is not willing will not be saved.The leper came to Him and said, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean." And He answered, "I am willing; be clean."In the same way, when He was leaving Jerusalem, He said, "How often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing."Therefore, the question is not, "Do I need grace?" Neither is it, "Do I deserve grace?" But, "Am I willing?"The Father is always willing, and He knows if you are. And through humility and the death of the self, you too will know if you are willing.A blind man once said, "Will to power," but I tell you: will to life, through grace.Tell me: what power does the dead have over the living?Do not let the evil one deceive you. You are already forgiven. Now turn and remain.It is said, "Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven."If you can be forgiven even for speaking against the Son of Man, why would you not be forgiven for less?Ask, and you will be given. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened.Much love, friends.
I am not saying these things for my own sake, but for your sake. I know my words are true, and yet no one listens. I know what is coming, yet my warnings are not heard. It is like seeing a great tragedy that is about to unfold, but the people do not believe.The ark is built, and I am trying to tell you to get in, but you won't listen. Know that I have loved every one of you. We all have one father and our lives come from one and the same life. He is the eternal life, and to be able to enter, you must be willing.

Enter while the door is open, because soon there will be a day when the master of the house gets up and closes the door. Then you will try to get in, but won't be able to. Enter while the door is wide open, and you will be saved.
>>542389184Praise the Holy name of Jesus, King of kings and Lord of lords. Every knee will bow - hallelujah to my King and to my God. Thank you for your son Jesus who died so we may all who ask may have the gift of salvation. I'm looking forward to His return - that gift of salvation is available to everyone and it's FREE! Amen!!

>>542389218I'm just here to tell you all that taking oaths is a bad idea. Taking an oath is claiming to know the future as if you will have to honor your oath through thick and thin. Oaths are administered by another sinner (we're all sinners), so that just makes us look wacky for doing so. Oaths usurp God's Throne and His Will for us and our interactions by being a stumbling block on the narrow path. Taking oaths will trap you in a cage that Jesus Christ already freed us from. Repent of your oaths and just let your yes be yes and your no be no. Stop claiming to know every facet of every situation in all time present and future, so confident in your oath that you will come out unscathed and not condemned.>James 5~>12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.We may mean well in taking an oath, but for the reasons above we should allow God to work in our lives and not call Him a liar that He cannot provide the best for us.
>>542389529>Matthew 25~1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.>10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

Thank you Lord
