GOD IS SPEAKING TO YOU

You know, there is a song that we have sung in church over the years. The song goes something like this “Holy Spirit, you are welcome in this place.” The place we are singing about could be your church, your home or any place you are. I believe the place God desires his Holy Spirit to be welcome in is your heart. So, the song could go like this “Holy Spirit, you are welcome in my heart. Where I go, you go. Where I am, you are. Welcome Holy Spirit in this place.”

The Spirit of Wisdom Ministries welcomes the Holy Spirit and everyone in to this place. This is your 24/7, week long, online church service and we exclude no one from attending here. A couple of weeks ago the message focused on believers. We pray it inspired you to be the best servant of Christ you can be.

This week we will be addressing the unbeliever. After all, we were all unbelievers at one time, weren’t we? Let’s clarify this. Who is an unbeliever? To put it simply, if you have not asked God for forgiveness of your sins and asked Jesus into your heart, if you do not believe God raised Jesus from the dead and if you have not confessed Jesus as Savior and Lord of your life, you are not a believer. And, you are lost and separated from God.

My friends, I realize I am operating in the office of pastor of this online church. But truth be known, I am an evangelist called by God to proclaim the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I believe the good news starts with John 3:16. Jesus in this scripture tells you who he is and why he came to this earth. John 3:16-17 states:

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

So let me talk to you my friends. I know God is showing me by his Spirit that there are many people looking, reading and listening to this week’s message. Not only in the United States, but all over the world. God has approached you in many ways. Some of you had parents who loved God. They took you to church but you decided all on your own to go a different way, didn’t you? Some of your parents never attended church or possibly they believed other things. Human made concepts that sounded good but have led you away from Jesus.

God has put Christians, or as I like to say believers, in your life. But you either ignored or rejected the truth of their words. And in some cases, even mocked them, didn’t you? Yet all the time you know there is something missing in your life. I know the feeling because I was in the same place at one time.

Let me tell you what I’m seeing in the Spirit at this time. I see marriages where you love each other but if changes are not made soon, separation and divorce are in the picture for you. You’ve talked this over with friends, family members and in some cases counselors, but to no avail. Husbands, you want to but you can’t control your lustful thoughts. Wives, you are looking outside of your marriage for fulfillment and happiness, aren’t you? The truth is, your marriage can be saved and your love for each other completely restored. Now, take a good look at each other and at your children who you love so much. I’m going to tell you clearly and bluntly that you need Jesus in your life today. I guarantee you, if and I repeat ‘if” you put Jesus Christ at the center of your marriage things will turn around for you. By receiving Jesus Christ in your heart and by letting him lead you in your marriage, he will show you how to set aside all the distractions this world throws at you to cause the break up of your marriage. My friends, God wants you to have a good life on this earth and that includes a loving and healthy marriage.

Listen folks, the devil and yes there is a devil, sometimes called Satan, who desires to destroy your marriages through spirits of lust, addictions such as alcohol and drug abuse, pride, poverty and so many things. Now, that is the problem. Jesus is the remedy. Tell you what, turn with me to John 10:10. Jesus is talking here:

“The thief cometh not, but for the steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.”

Church, the thief (Satan) is on this earth to do one thing. To steal, destroy and kill everything that is near and dear to you period!! By doing this, his hope is to keep you separated from God. However, that choice is yours and yours alone. Satan desires to destroy your marriage, your money, your job, your health and even your dignity, your children and if possible your life. Now truthfully, does that sound like someone you want to follow?

Jesus on the other hand says “I have come to give you life and to give it to you in abundance.” In other words, Jesus desires a good life for you. He desires your marriage to be blessed. He desires to set you free from all addiction. Someone right now – God is speaking to you. Urging you to come to him and he will set you free from the alcoholism that is destroying your life. Life more abundantly means God will give his peace that passes all understanding to you. Yes folks, the Holy Spirit is not only welcome in this place, he is in this place. He is urging you to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior today.

Jesus will become your present help in trouble. You know, sometimes I look at the people around me. People that I like and enjoy being around, yet my heart is breaking for them. I see the direction they are going in and I know by the Spirit of God only trouble and destruction lies ahead of them. The problem is they don’t see it. God, I pray to you to reveal yourself to them in a saving way. Give them eyes to see (spiritually) and ears to hear (spiritually) that they may be saved.

My desire is for you to receive Jesus into your heart and to be an overcomer. Yes, you can overcome all the attempts of the world’s system, Satan and all of his demonic spirits efforts to destroy you. Turn with me to I John 5:4-5 for confirmation.

“For whosoever is born of God overcometh the world: And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world but he that believeth Jesus is the Son of God.”

This message is just for you, my friends. Don’t look to the left or right. The Holy Spirit is calling you to Jesus today. There are only two answers – yes or no. What say you? You might say “Bro. Bob, what do I need to do to be saved?” Well, in the book of Acts 16:29-31 a man asked the very same question you just asked. Acts 16:29-31 says:

“Then he called for a light, and sprang in and came trembling and fell down before Paul and Silas, and brought them out and said Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved and thy house.”

Well, there it is. What are you going to do? E-mail me today with your decision to BrotherBob@TheSpiritofWisdom.org. I will be happy to lead you in the best decision of your life. Yes church, the Holy Spirit is welcome in this place.

God Bless You,
Bro. Bob
