What if somebody came to you with free airfare and accommodations to some belize20d_242-wikipedia-share-alike-license11beautiful tropical paradise, for both you and for your family? Would you take them?

.

Well, most people would jump at the chance to go, now wouldn’t they?

GOD IS OFFERING PARADISE TO ALL!

.

And yet, that’s exactly what God is doing to the inhabitants of this sad and tragic world.

.

Yes, Jesus came to live among us, and provide the necessary payment to allow us to go to that everlasting paradise.

.

And His atonement upon that cruel cross paved the way for any and every man, woman, and child to go to that place of rapturous tranquility and indescribable beauty to live in complete joy, peace, and contentment for all time and eternity!

But hardly anyone is responding to His offer!

GUESTS WHO ARE TOO BUSY TO COME!

.

Instead, many of us are like those who were invited to an incredible feast in that infamous parable.

.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nobel-banquet-table.jpg

Listen to how they spurned that offer…

“And they all…began to make excuse.

.

The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

.

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

.

And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.”

Luke 14:18-20

.

This above passage was especially written for us today! Yes, we who live in this present-day cornucopian super-society have been mesmerized by all the countless diversions, amusements, career opportunities, etc., which have flooded us!

GOD WILL HAVE HIS SUPPER FILLED WITH GUESTS!

.

But God will have His great supper filled with guests.

.

Just listen as this parable continues…

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Poor_man_reading.jpg

“Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant,

‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city,

and bring in hither the poor,

and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.'”

Luke 14:21

.

Yes, God is now ready to bypass all pre-occupied people and begin to call those who have nothing to lose, to come enjoy His feast! This class is made of, “the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.” They have nothing to lose. The world has all but turned its back on these!

And what is His feast?

.

Well, to begin with, God’s great supper is comprised of a variety of heavenly delights: the fruit of the Spirit, the milk and meat of the Word, the wine of Salvation, the bread of life!

.

This kind of spiritual feast is now ready to enjoy.

EVIDENCE OF TRUE SALVATION

.

And those who consider ourselves to be children of the kingdom do not realize that the evidence that we have truly received this free trip to paradise, is seen in whole-hearted devotion.  http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USMC-06831.jpg

.

Listen to Jesus, as He defines who His true disciples are…“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be My disciple.” Luke 14:33

.

No, God is not looking for part-timers. He wants us to live for one world or the other. The choice is ours to make.

GOOD NEWS!

.

But the very Good News is that God is still stretching forth His nail-pierced hands to His professed people pleading with us…

“Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you.

Cleanse your hands, ye sinners;

and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep:

let your laughter be turned to mourning,

and your joy to heaviness.

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,

and He shall lift you up.”

James 4:8-10

.

Yes, this is the kind of heart-felt repentance that is required in these closing hours of time! And by the grace of God, we may begin right now to enjoy all the delicious culinary delights found in God’s Word.

.

Listen to Job’s love for God’s Word…“I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12. This is the great supper which God is now offering us!

PARADISE BEGINS IN OUR HEART

And, as for that promised Paradise? We don’t have to wait for that either. Because God’s Paradise of Heaven begins in our very own heart! Right now!

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, Help me to really see what a great trade that God is offering. And let me not be deceived into thinking that I can have both worlds! But like the apostle, Paul, let me lose all things, that I might win Christ…

“Multitudes, multitudes in the ‘Valley of Decision’…

for the day of the Lord is near in the ‘Valley of Decision’.”

Joel 3:14

.

.

.

.

.

AT THE CROSSROADS OF LIFE…

.

As we all know, life is made up of one decision after another. Some are of little consequence. Others are more important. And then there are those times which require life-changing decisions.

.

The Bible speaks of the Valley of Decision…“Multitudes, multitudes in the ‘Valley of Decision’…for the day of the Lord is near in the ‘Valley of Decision’.” Joel 3:14. Of course, this valley is a spiritual concept and not a literal place.

.

But God has inscribed this very truth in the heavens. It is called “The Valley of Decision” Constellation. It speaks of that valley that each person must walk through.

.

.

.

.

.

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION GROUP…

staples

.

Look eastward in the early summer through fall. Find the Cassiopeia Constellation. Cassiopeia is the Mount of Blessing. In the sketch, it is the farthest mountain to the left. In the sky, it is the northern-most of these three mountains when facing eastward. It resembles a pyramid. Then find the next pyramid to its right (south). Then go a little further south to the next third pyramid. The third snow-cap is the Destroying Mountain Constellation. These three pyramids are the snow-capped portion of these three mountains in this sketch. (of course, you won’t see the snow-caps in the sky. They are just an embellishment in this sketch to present a concept-EDITOR).

.

“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem.” Micah 4:1, 2
