    - Her daughter, Judy
    - Her double first cousin, Ilee

    And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
    Jesus is prophesying five things:
    1) His death
    2) His resurrection
    3) His ascension
    4) His Holy Spirit infilling
    5) His return

    In His death He made a place for us through forgiveness of sins.     In His resurrection He came again to the disciples showing Himself alive.     

    In His ascension He took His position at the right hand of power.     

    In sending the promise of His Holy Spirit, He abides in us who have received Him.     

    In His return He will receive us physically unto Himself.     

    Jesus is returning soon!     
    When He does, the dead will rise, we will be caught up together, transformed from corruptible to incorruptible and so forever be with the Lord!

    Jesus says unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.
    Jesus is the Holy Spirit in flesh.     

    It is necessary to believe this about Jesus in order to be Born Again of His Holy Spirit.     

    Those who reject Jesus, reject His Holy Spirit.     
       ➛ The Way: Jesus is the path to His Holy Spirit.     
       ➛ The Truth: Jesus is the Truth about His Holy Spirit
       ➛ The Life: Jesus is the giver of life by His Holy Spirit.     

    As disciples of Christ we must share this Gospel Truth with everyone in our lives.     

    Our testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ will either be a testimony for them leading to Eternal Life with Christ or a testimony against them in The Judgment leading to Eternal Death in the Lake Of Fire.     

    But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which the Lord has prepared for them that love him.
    This does not just speak to what awaits us at the End Of The Age.     It also speaks to what is now available in heavenly places In Christ Jesus.     

    We cannot see with our physical eyes what is available to us in Heavenly Places.     But we see them clearly with spiritual eyes - eyes that see the Word Of The Lord as the Truth about our existence and His provision for us.     

    Jesus came that we might have Abundant Life .     
  • Invitation

    I know that Margile wants to see each of you again.   For those of you in relation with Christ Jesus that will happen one day.   If there is anyone here who has never received Jesus as Lord and Saviour you should not leave here without making a profession of Faith.   To do that all you need do is follow this instruction:

    That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that His Holy Spirit has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.
    This is the encapsulation of Grace, clearly pointing out our part which is faith in Jesus and confession of Him as risen Lord and Saviour.     

    The implication of our part being to believe on Jesus Christ and confess Him as risen Lord, is that He has done everything else!     
    It is why we call it amazing Grace!     
    It is why the gospel is nearly too good to be true!     

    Who raised Jesus from the dead?     
    He raised Himself by His Holy Spirit .     

    For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
    It is Heart Faith that enables the miracle of the New Birth.     

    It is our personal confession of Jesus as Mighty God, Creator and loving Saviour that seals that miracle.

    So, Believe in your Heart that this Jesus who rose from the Dead is God in the flesh and Confess Him as your Lord and Saviour with your mouth right now.   Speak out your confession of Faith by telling the congregation that " Jesus is now my Lord and Savior".   
  • Prayer

    Father,
    We thank you for each person who has received Christ Jesus today,
       ➛ we thank you for Margile`s life, for who she was, the lives she touched
       ➛ we thank you that she is now experiencing your Love first hand, that she is now healthy, completely pain free, experiencing the wonders of Heaven in your presence.   

    We ask that the Holy Spirit comfort those that she has left here and that they finish their courses in Relationship with your Son Jesus who will one day reunite them with her in Heaven.   

    In Jesus lovely name, Amen.
