"Turn Around"

"But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that

he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do

that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he

 shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath

committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him:

in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live."

 (Ezekiel 18:21-22)

We were all born in sin and shapen in iniquity (Psalm 51:5), and every soul needs a Savior, needs to repent, needs to be redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; every soul must "Turn Around."


To "turn around" simply means to turn from sin and walk in a new, clean, and different direction.  No person in earth is exempt from repentance, that is, if he/she wants to be saved, forgiven, and resurrected to new life in the Lord Jesus Christ.  It starts with turning around and leaving the past behind; sometimes that means relationships, until we become strong enough to go back and witness to them.  When we have been forgiven, and we feel free and delivered; the first thing we want to do is tell our old friends about it, because there is nothing in the world like it!  The joy of coming up out of baptismal waters in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ is so wonderful!  The guilt is gone; the shame is gone; the sin is gone; the heavy burden of iniquity is gone  ...  you feel free as a bird; the sky is clearer; the trees are greener; the air is fresher; the world is brighter  ...  Those things didn't change, but we did!

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray,

  and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven,

and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
(2 Chronicles 7:14)

This is not just a personal thing; it's a National, a world, a global thing.  The world must repent and fall on its knees before the One who created all things, and is coming back to judge all things.  The earth must awake and realize Bible scripture is matching News headlines; prophesies in the Word of God are shockingly accurate and are coming to pass before our very eyes.  What the Bible says will happen, WILL happen, and every kindred, Nation, and tongue must prepare for the Rapture, or the catching away of the Church, the Bride of Christ, and the coming of the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings, Jesus Christ.  His Spirit upon all flesh is happening; 580 million people worldwide, and it's growing moment by moment,  have received the Holy Ghost and spoken with tongues as the Spirit of God gives the utterance.  Why is this happening?  The Lord is coming!





Repentance is not a "Now I lay me down to sleep prayer," respectfully.  It must be deep, sincere, and even tearful, sorrow over doing evil; it must be from an honest heart and a determined desire to "turn around" and live, walk, think, and operate our lives in a manner pleasing to the Lord and His Word.  We must know, then, that when Jesus Christ forgives us, and He does when we pray this kind of prayer, that our sins are remembered no more by the Lord; those sins are cast as far as from the east to the west; it's as though they never happened.  That's why we feel so clean, pure, and innocent after repentance; it's so beautiful.

He that the Son sets FREE is FREE indeed!  That's the song of the delivered, and the song heaven longs to hear.  And, they hear it a lot, or they should, because repentance is a daily thing; it should be a continual habit for all of us.  We are not "once saved always saved."  The Apostle Paul said that he feared to keep his body under subjection, lest that after having preached to others that he would become a castaway.  As long as we have flesh in earth, we must live a repentant life.  And, it's a holy life, because SIN is heavy, burdensome, weighty, taunting, and it robs our peace, our joy, our serenity.  A HOLY God will never abide with a SIN; He comes to us initially, because He loves us with an everlasting love, but He expects us to "turn around" and walk holy, live holy, talk holy, be holy, think holy, and be the image of Him, which is HOLY.

Thank you, Lord, for forgiveness, for Your blood shed for us on the cross, for grace, and for Your love.  We serve You with gladness; fill us with Your Spirit, and we will be baptized in Your name.  Hear our cries, O Lord; heal us, and heal our land, we pray.  Direct our way, deliver us from all evil, lead us in the paths of righteousness for Your name's sake, guide us into all truth.  Please give us honest and pure hearts; we will be witnesses for You and take the gospel to everyone we meet.  Make us holy, O Lord, teach us Your ways; we will obey Your Word and seek Your face.  Amen.

We now know what makes us a precious bloom in Your Garden, Lord, a sweet aroma to Your nostrils, delicate and precious in Your sight  ...  it's those two little words  ...  "Turn Around."

"In Remembrance"

"And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said,

Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you:

this do in remembrance of me."

(I Corinthians 11:2)

You gave Yourself upon the cross to rid the world of Sin and  

 shame; Your blood and flesh paid the debt

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for the sacrifice You made to redeem

mankind that was forever doomed; we won't forget

We will remember, O Lord; we know that it should have been us

on that cross, but You took our place

You gave us hope, redemption, salvation, and a future; You settled 

the case with one sacrificial embrace

You did it for the world that You love without end, and You would

do it all over again, no matter the pain

It was the only answer for a fallen sinful creation, so our Creator

established forgiveness, for eternal life and reign

Now, the world can know Your love, Your Name, Your Blood, and

Your Word, and be born again in the Spirit

In death, there is victory, and Hell hath no sting for the

holy, filled, and sealed; they need never to fear it

You are God and there is no other; we have proof of Your

love, and Your compassion is signed with Your blood

It was sealed when You said, "It is Finished" and earth reacted

with quakes, thunders, and storms like a flood

 So, we do remember, precious Lord, with a cup and a wafer, 

 consuming the symbol of Your blood and body

It ever reminds us and judges us, as we repent of our sins, our 

 omissions, and all in us that is vile and ungodly

From children to soldiers, from Nation to Nation; we recall with

thankfulness the reason for our freedom

We were released by Your blood and Your flesh, and

we're  forgiven to partake of Your kingdom

You're the lover of our souls, Lord Jesus, the healer of our hearts, 

 and the omnipotent source of all deliverance

For this, Lord, we are so thankful; forever in every way, we kneel 

 and repent, taking communion "In Remembrance."

"While There's Time!"

"He appointed the moon for seasons: 

the sun knoweth his going down."
(Psalm 104:19)

The Jewish festivals depended greatly on the moon, the Passover

 being celebrated at the first month's full moon

The times and seasons show us the way, with blood moons and

 moon darkenings, we know He IS coming soon

It's all in His hands, you know; The Lord reigns in the heavens and

 in the earth; He IS The Almighty God of all 

It's time for souls to look up to their Creator in this end time era;

 the Church Age is almost over; so answer the call

There's not time to delay or ignore the signs; run to Him now while

 He IS near, and He IS a merciful forgiving lamb

For soon, He will transform into a Lion and it will be everlasting

 too late for the thicket to hold the sacrificial ram

His arms are open wide for all who will repent with sorrow, be 

 baptized in His name, and filled with His Spirit

The Tribulation period is coming; the antichrist waits in the wings,

 but if we're wise; we'll have no reason to fear it

For the saved in Jesus Christ will be gone; the Lord will make a

 way for His own; it will be a flight of escape

We must ask The Lord Jesus to save our souls; He's the only One

 who can; He wears omnipotence and a Hero's cape

Now is the time for salvation and JOY like you've never known;

 give Jesus Christ your life, and you'll be set free

He knows your name, and He's waiting for your call; He IS your

 Savior and He's saying, "I love you; come to Me"
Judgment is coming for those who did not surrender to Jesus
Christ and prepare themselves with His forgiveness
Our Lord God created this world, and He has the right to judge it;
don't miss His redemption over Sin and covetousness
The earth, and mankind know it's almost time; the horses' hooves
are pawing, anxious for Revelation's promised ride
It's time to leave the world behind, go under the water in Jesus'
 name, receive the Holy Ghost, and get on God's side
To be left behind to face the final judgment would be foolish and 
unwise; it would be death to the soul and a crime
Come on, beloved of God, for you have to know He loves you, run 
to Him with tears of repentance, "While There's Time!"

"FIRE, This Time!"

"And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut 

off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any 

more be a flood to destroy the earth."

(Genesis 9:11)

"As it was in the days of Noah" is the status of today; we have
 come to the time of judgment by fire
No more floods to destroy the earth, but the evil of mankind will
 do the deed, with the help of satan, the liar
It will not be the end of the world, but the end of the Age, a
 time of reckoning for sin, wickedness, and evil
It will be a time like no other in the history of the world, a
 tribulation of dire magnitude, a judging upheaval
Look up, O world, while there's still time, and call upon the
 Lamb in His grace, and while He may be found
For there's coming a time when mankind will run for cover and
 hide their faces, after the trumpet sounds
"Bow now or bow later" is the adage of this Age, for every knee
 will hit the floor one day, and it's very soon
Jesus Christ, our Lord and King, is coming to get His own; it may
 be morning, night, or even early noon
Are our lamps full of oil and our hearts pure and holy?  The Lord
 wants to know; it's all that really matters now
We must find our way to the Master's feet, push through the
 Laodicean sleep and awake to the time somehow
God is not willing that any be lost or perish, so repent, be filled
 with His Spirit and baptized in His name
It's not too late to obey the Biblical Word and be ready for The
 Thief; if you don't; there's only you to blame
Every soul must work out his or her own salvation; we stand alone
 before Almighty God, as His created 'dust' 
We must be vessels of honor, worthy of white robes, by accepting
 His blood, His name, His Word, and trust
There's no other name under heaven whereby we can be saved; it's
 the name of Jesus Christ, The Truth, The Way, The Life
Put aside the pride, and come to Him in humility; let Him wash
 away your sins, the guilt, the shame, and strife
Sin and God will never live side by side; there must come a
 judgment, and God will take back His world
Then, satan will be doomed to the Lake of fire and take up his
 place in Hell, to which he was once hurled
The Lord wants His Eden back, and that place of beauty, holiness
 and innocence, where all was peaceful and sublime
He will not bring a flood; that was for then, now the judgment will
 be from man's own hands; it will be "FIRE, This Time!"

Receive Holy Ghost Fire to 
escape Judgment Fire!
