What If?

by Darrell Alexander

 Do you remember the Indiana Jones movie about the search for the so called "Holy Grail"?, and remember when it was discovered and the bad guy had to chose which cup was the right one, and he chose, and drank from it, the line I like the most out of the whole movie come from the old Knight, after the bad guy had drank of the cup and well you know, dried up and blew away, he said "He choose poorly" and of course we are all thinking, yeah that was a real bad choice.

What are the consequences of your choices?

We could say that because we all saw instantly the result of such a bad choice, and the consequences there of. Now let me ask you something how would you have chosen, if you had not see the out come? Sad to say, some of us would have chosen poorly.  What is even sadder is that you could be in the same shape right now, how so? Well the Bible has set a choice before us all and has in fact told us to choose, but the great thing is we have been admonished to choose the right way and even been given the answer. Let me show you: 

Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

Now that really makes things easy here are the two choices, Life or Death, Blessing or Curse, and if you choose life not only will you live but your seed (children) as well. Again, we can see instantly the consequences of the choices we make.

What does God mean when He says "choose life"

John 10:10 Says, The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

The dictionary says the word abundant means Fully sufficient; plentiful, to be fully supplied or filled, I like that the word of God is telling us that we can, by making the right choice can secure a full, rich, plentiful, fully supplied life not only for us but for our family as well. Now that is good news, and that is just like my Father, if there is one thing that God is, He is fully supplied, I mean have you read what he uses to make streets out of in heaven?, when you get the time read Revelation 21:21, God is a God of more then enough, He is The God of to much, and He wants His kids to get all of it. If you decide not to choose life, well you have Chose Poorly, to say the least.

He is letting you know that all of heaven every thing He has, all the riches of glory are for you, just for the asking. Now you may be saying "aw that is just to easy, it can't be that way besides I have been told I have to stop this or start doing that, and well I just don't see how I can". Ok, then how about this, let God be true, but every man a liar, and God said: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. And that is all there is to it, then let God do the rest in you and for you.

Yeah, but what if.....

I know some of you are saying right now, but what if your wrong, (and of course, you know I'm not,) and I decide not to do what you are saying, well then you are choosing the opposite  for you and your seed, so lets examine that for just a moment, what would that entail? For life you would choose death, for health you choose sickness, for prosperity you choose lack, for joy you choose depression, for wisdom you chose to be unwise, for hope you choose despair, in place of being fully supplied, you choose to always be just barley making it, and not only are you choosing it for you but for you children as well, and instead of choosing heaven you choose hell.

But if you choose Gods way, and let Jesus be your Lord, the word of God says every good gift and perfect gift comes from above, and it is the Fathers good pleasure to give it unto you, now on place of death you have, not just life, but abundant life, in place of lack you have every need met, 

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. he (Jesus) became poor so you could be rich,  2 Corinthians 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. In place of sickness you have health and healing, 1 Peter 2:24  Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. and Matthew 8:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. If  he Jesus took them, then we do not have to, because if we did that would be a miscarriage of justice, and God is just all the time, and in place of strife you would have peace, because he is the prince of peace.

Why don't you go ahead right now and choose right now to be one of the Kings kids? To take that first step of the best of your life, do it for you and for your seed, that you may live, and have that life more abundant every day, and then for eternity God himself will say, along with all of the host of heaven

A Prayer for Salvation and Baptism in the Holy Spirit
 
Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. Your Word says, "Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21). I am calling on You. I pray and ask Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord over my life according to Romans 10:9-10. "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." I do that now. I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead.

I am now reborn! I am a Christian - a child of Almighty God! I am saved! You also said in Your Word, "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: HOW MUCH MORE shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" (Luke 11:13). I'm also asking You to fill me with the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, rise up within me as I praise God. I fully expect to speak with other tongues as You give me the utterance (Acts 2:4).

Begin to praise God for filling you with the Holy Spirit. Speak those words and syllables you receive - not in your own language, but the language given to you by the Holy Spirit. You have to use your own voice. God will not force you to speak.

Now you are a Spirit-filled believer. Continue with the blessing God has given you and pray in tongues each day. You'll never be the same!

Find a good Word of God preaching church, and become a part of a church family who will love and care for you as you love and care for them.

We need to be hooked up to each other. It increases our strength in God. It's God's plan for us.

If you have prayed this prayer, we would like to send you some free materials that will help you start your new abundant life with the Lord!  (please send me the free material )
