The Day The Hour
??
Brothers and Sisters why do we fret so much on Accomplishments? We set Goals of many different things, but how many of those are to bring Praise, Honor and Glory to Jesus? We have Our Own Agenda’s and Jesus has His, Hopefully the two will align into one.
?
Isaiah 55:11 KJV
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it."
?
I have had many, many Goals, Visions, Hopes and few there are that have come to pass, but, every Goal, Vision and Hope that Jesus has had for me, either has come to pass or it will come to pass. The idea is that when we Accept Jesus as Savior and start to Make Jesus Lord, then He Speaks things into Our Lives, Anoints Us, for those things that will bring Him Praise, Honor and Glory and Not just for His Sake, but also for The Fathers Sake as well.
?
Let us say that Jesus has Called you to speak to the one person that only you can speak to and it is not for thirty years down the road, Jesus will make sure that You Reach That Mark, so that His Word will not Return to Him Void, in other words, Jesus will make sure that the Task He has Called You to, will come to pass. I Believe that every person who Accepts Jesus as Savior then Lord, that Jesus has a Predestination for that person.
?
Romans 8:28-30 KJV
"28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."
?
Let me make something clear here, I do Not believe in Predestination as in God knew that there were only going to be 144 thousand that will be saved, nor do I believe that Our Lives have already been Predestined as in this is Your Lot in Life, but what I Do Believe is that once we Accept Jesus as Savior and Start to make Jesus Lord, that Jesus Speaks into Our Lives the Potential To Become ALL that He Says according to His Will. Some of you are scratching your heads thinking well isn’t that the same no matter how you look at it…NO!!! Understand this, if the World and All of the People were Predestined then there WOULD BE NO CHOICE. There would be No Need for All of the Scriptures telling us How to Live Godly Lives, nor would we have to Accept or Reject who Jesus is. But see that is not the case, each person has to Make The Choice that Jesus Is Savior and each person has to Make The Choice that Jesus Is Their Lord, it just does not happen any other way!!!
?
Let me explain the above Scriptures. First we had to Accept Jesus as The Son Of The Father sent to Die for My Sins, Secondly I MUST Choose to MAKE Jesus Lord. Now Jesus said If you Love me then Keep My Commandments, verse 28, says that All Things work together that Love God who are Called According To His Purpose. In other words, if I Love Jesus He has a Purpose for My Life, that when I Make Jesus Lord, He already has a Plan that He wants me to follow and as Jesus Surrendered His Will to that of The Fathers Will, making Jesus Lord, we Surrender Our Will to The Will Of Jesus to do The Fathers Will. So then, now that Jesus is Lord, He says I have a Purpose, a Plan for Your Life and since I have Called You into this Plan, I will Justify and Glorify You, because it Justifies and Glorifies Me and My Word does not Return To Me Void!!!
?
There are some catches here, one being that I must Continue to Walk in Jesus Will, another is I must not Give Up. In keeping these two in My Life, Satan or The World can NOT TOUCH ME, without Jesus Permission!!!
?
John 10:10 KJV
“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."
?
Everything that Satan wants, everything that The World wants, is to Steal, Kill and Destroy My Life from ever reaching the Fulfillment Of Jesus Plan, His Purpose, for My Life. Jesus now has an Investment In Me that His Word does not return Void.
?
Matthew 10:30 KJV
“But the very hairs of your head are all numbered."
?
In other words, Jesus knows when you will die and go to Heaven as long as we stick to His Plan. I will use two Brothers as an example to that no matter the Odds we face, no matter What people may say, if Jesus has a Plan, a Purpose, it will not Return To Him Void.

Elijah is the first…
?
1 Kings 18:20-39 KJV
"20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. 21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD [be] God, follow him: but if Baal, [then] follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, [even] I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets [are] four hundred and fifty men. 23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay [it] on wood, and put no fire [under]: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay [it] on wood, and put no fire [under]: 24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken. 25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress [it] first; for ye [are] many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire [under]. 26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed [it], and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But [there was] no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made. 27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he [is] a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, [or] peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. 28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. 29 And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the [time] of the offering of the [evening] sacrifice, that [there was] neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded. 30 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD [that was] broken down. 31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name: 32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed. 33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid [him] on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour [it] on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood. 34 And he said, Do [it] the second time. And they did [it] the second time. And he said, Do [it] the third time. And they did [it] the third time. 35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water. 36 And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering of the [evening] sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou [art] God in Israel, and [that] I [am] thy servant, and [that] I have done all these things at thy word. 37 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou [art] the LORD God, and [that] thou hast turned their heart back again. 38 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that [was] in the trench. 39 And when all the people saw [it], they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he [is] the God; the LORD, he [is] the God."
?
Now, to make the short, there was One Prophet Of Our God and there were Four Hundred and Fifty Prophets of Baal, Elijah stood alone against an army, Israel did not even stand with Elijah at this point. They could have just killed Elijah and been done with it, except that is not How The Father wanted things done. The Father had to Prove to everyone that He Is God with no doubt or question. A point here is, that One Man, Elijah, Believed His God above what anyone could say or do, even putting his very Life on the Line.
?
The second person is Paul…
?
2 Corinthians 11:22-30 KJV
"22 Are they Hebrews? so [am] I. Are they Israelites? so [am] I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so [am] I. 23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I [am] more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. 24 Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save one. 25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26 [In] journeyings often, [in] perils of waters, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils by [mine own] countrymen, [in] perils by the heathen, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false brethren; 27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. 28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not? 30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities."
??
Out of all of the Brothers in the New Testament I Believe Paul suffered the most, on top of those mentioned above, Paul also had an Infirmity that Jesus refused to remove from him, but Jesus saying, My Grace is sufficient . in all of these things that both men faced, God Held The Day and The Hour of Their Lives in His Hands. God is Not a Liar, but will do even as He has said, His Word will not Return to Him Void of doing what He has set out for it to do, Satan nor Man can stop it!!!
?
Two very important points, One did Jesus Say It or did I make it up in my own head, Two, if Jesus said it, then, IT MUST COME TO PASS! I have rose up against many who have Claimed to be a Prophet Of Jesus or those who Prophesy in Jesus name all for the simple fact that the Words they spoke did not come to pass.? We, Brothers and Sisters, can Rest In Jesus that if He has Spoken a Word to us or through us, then you can Stake Your Life on it, that it will come to pass!!! Some Words may happen in an Hour other Words may not happen for a Life Time, but in any case they will happen for The Lords Sake!!! Be Encouraged, be Strengthened, be Filled With Joy that Our Lord Jesus has Spoken to You and All Power and Authority Rest in His Hands to see it through, even at times when we lose heart.
?
Amen and Amen!!!
