"Fear God, Love God, Serve God": "Do It First!"

"You shall have no other gods before Me."

(Exodus 20:3)

"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one."

(Deuteronomy 6:4)

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached

in the whole world as a testimony to all nations,

and then the end will come."

(Matthew 24:14)

What should we do first? Make God, the Lord Jesus Christ, "Your" Lord and God; know that He is One Lord; and then take the gospel, His virgin birth, death on the cross, and resurrection knowledge to the entire world! There is so much to do in the Lord today, so many valuable ministries, so many people in Christ, using the gifts and talents God gave them to minister in every Nation, kindred and tongue. They're all very monumental in the work of Jesus Christ in the earth, but Who Jesus Christ IS, Who He IS in Your life, and Who He IS to the world is absolutely unquestionably First ... "Do It First!"

"All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing,

just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it

and understood God's grace in all its truth."

(Colossians 1:6)

We're on the Home stretch, folks, and we must keep our priorities in order, not let things of this world distract us, and not let the "little foxes" trip us up, because time is tick, tick, ticking away quickly ... We must do what is required of us: Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness ... Being repentant, baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, receiving the Holy Ghost, and telling everyone we see about it should be our number 1 heartbeat. It's still the heartbeat of our Holy God. He is not willing that ANY be lost or perish; He weeps for the souls of men; He searches to and fro throughout the earth for those whose hearts are perfect toward Him (2 Chronicles 16:9). One with a "perfect" heart is one who has the heartbeat of the risen Lord.

"Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep

you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole

world to test those who live on the earth."

(Revelation 3:10)

This scripture in Revelation is talking about the Tribulation period of seven years of judgment on the people LEFT on earth, after the Rapture of the Church. The four horses represent War, Pestilence, Famine and Death. You say, "We already have that going on." Uh huh, but not like it will be then ... earth has never seen the horror that will occur during the Seven years of Tribulation. It is even on the horizon! One does not have to be a Bible professor to know time is short; the signs are all around and increasing daily. The things going on in the government are preparation for the antichrist rule; all is being set up for judgment in earth. You don't want to be here; your priority should be to get cleaned up, saved up, baptized up, repented up, filled up, witnessed up ... and then, Look Up!

It's not a fairy tale, or just a pipe dream for Christians. It's a real event, and you've already seen "a measure" of devastation in earth, so you have to know it's possible ... It's not only possible; it's prophetically promised.

"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered

and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account."

(Hebrews 4:13)

We don't get a pass, or get away with anything; there's One who watches, who sees the intents of the hearts, who observes the Sin, and who waits with open arms for His creation to run to Him in repentance. He knows what's coming; He planned a way of escape for you and me. He will take the righteous out before He judges the world and the unrighteous. That's sounds fair, doesn't it? It's more than fair, it's Grace; it's Redemption; it's a Holy God making one last effort to save us. It's the very essence of LOVE!

"But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did: "Their voice has gone

out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world."

(Romans 10:18)

That is the question of this hour. Have they heard? It's going on as I'm writing; they are hearing in every Nation, kindred and tongue: 27 million in India are Christians; and over 580 million all over the world have received the Holy Ghost and spoken in tongues as the Spirit of God gave them utterance.
