TIME IS SHORT--- SERVE HIM IN SINCERITY

September 20

eloved, how old are you today? When do you expect to live your last day on this earth? You don't want to think about it do you? It doesn't matter how young or how old you are, you are now building your life to present it to God for the exact last day that you will live on this earth. It would be a wise act for you to come strongly and realistically to your Heavenly Father and speak the following: "Father, I know that I have avoided many of the offerings of my life and service to you by ignoring the passing of time. I have assumed that I have plenty of time to make godly decisions to give my life, heart and service to the Lord Jesus Christ. However, every time I have delayed your Holy Spirit, and refused to receive the Lord Jesus, I have (without knowing it) subjected my heart to be hardened a little deeper. I have consciously and willingly resisted the call and conviction of your Holy Spirit. This is a dangerous act for me. For this reason, I want to make an offering to you. Come to me Holy Spirit, I pray in Jesus' name. The next time I think of my need to confess my sins, repent and turn away from them, I will do just that! If you will be kind and merciful enough to do this, I will happily open my stubborn, resisting heart to you and I will receive the fullness of your great pardon through the name and power of the Lord Jesus. You've got a deal, Father. Come soon Lord Jesus!"

Prayer

Father, you have been merciful to me and you have not allowed the Evil One to take my life before I can give it freely to you in love and service. For this reason, I give you thanks and blessing in Jesus' name, amen!
