Okay. So after my two previous posts I just knew I had to post this one. :)
After my prayer and Rally concoctions that God planned out I thought this was great. We're at church tonight and Pastor Andrews says "Please stand for the reading of the Word of the Lord." and he says "We're gonna turn to 2 Peter 3:10." At that point I did a quadruple take. If you look at my post from after Friday morning prayer you'll see that 2 Peter 3:10 was the exact scripture that set the concoctions in motion on Friday!
So anyways :) He's preaching away and it's all about what I felt and heard on Friday and he brought up the man in New York who spent his life savings of $140,000 on promotion and advertisement about his idea of the Lord coming back this Saturday (May 21st) sometime before 6am. And so our church had their share of crazy looks about what this guy was trying to say. So I know me saying that had no specific meaning but I was in my notes from our Pm service. :)
So now I'm just going to share my notes from tonight's message. :)
3 Things that need to happen before Judgement Day:
#1. The Bride must be Ready. - Rev 19:7
Which basically talks about living a Holy Life, having Holy standards, Holy conversation, ect, ect.
#2. The Bride must be Compete - Rev 7:9
#3. The Bride must have finished her Task - Matthew 28:19
Matthew 24:14
--------------------------------------------------------------
The next part of his sermon was 'How do you Disciple Others?'
#1. Luke 6:40 "The disciple is not above his master; but everyone that is perfect shall be as his master."
-Be a Disciple
- "The disciplER, has to continue to be a DisciplEE to ensure growth within churches."
#2. Be an Encourager - Acts 18:23 - Strengthening Disciples -
"Never stop encouraging people. Someone could be depressed, sad, lonely, or just down and you're encouraging comment could be the thing that turns their day around. God likes positivity." - Pastor.
#3. FOLLOW UP! - Acts 14:21
Pretty self-explanatory. Make sure you keep people plugged into the church services, church family, and bible studies so that they feel loved and valuable in God's family.
#4. We ALL have to Teach - " I say this with love to my church family. Whether you're 12, 20 or 200 you HAVE to TEACH! If you can't teach, you can't be a disciple and if you can't be a disciple your not following the Word of God." - Pastor. - Mark 4:34 - Acts 11:26 -
#5. Give your life. Give your time. - "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all it's righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So that's the end of my note's for that sermon. :) Just a few people I want you - the readers - to pray for if possible. :)
-Friday night after the rally Pastor was on his way back and missed his exit with Sister Andrews, Claire and her friend Kerra and they ended up in Minneapolis by the Washington Street Bridge and a man rear-ended him (nothing serious he just hit the bike rack), the man drove away but Pastor got his license plate # and reported it to the police. As he was waiting for the Police he was standing on the side walk and a man walked up and said "You know you're kind of in a bad area of town." and Pastor replied to the man and explained his situation and the man ended up explaining that he used to be a UPCI Music Minister. and that things happened within his church and it got out of hand and he left. So Pastor has asked the church to pray that this man calls him soon for lunch. He wouldn't give Pastor his name or # but Pastor gave his information so now he's waiting on a call.
- The Gudry's (Missionaries to Spain, Brother Gudry and his wife, daughter and son)
- Sue. (not sure about her last name) She went to grade school with a family friend and they just re-united a couple of Months ago and our family friend Denise brought her to our church today -She has been giving her bible studies up until today- and she got baptized today, but not the Holy Ghost, so please pray that God works in her life.
- Special Friend of Mine. She just needs prayer. She's given up on serving God and has made herself clear that it's her mom's church and not her's. My friend Ivy had a vision about her Friday morning (Literally the few minutes I was praying for her in prayer) and a few other people had visions and had her laid on their hearts these last few days. So pray for her, that she would come back to God and understand her potential in Christ.
- Pastor and Sister Andrews -
Thanks to all who are praying!!!
