MY FRIENDS, WHERE IS YOUR DESTINATION?

“God’s Spirit will be poured out on all of God’s Children and His sons and daughters will prophesy, the old will dream dreams, and the young will see visions.” And we will hear The Spirit whisper urgent! Urgent! what you are going to do, to finish God’s work “you must do quickly [without delay].” My friends, we have a probationary period from birth to death, so during that time period again I must say “Conflict after conflict must be waged against hereditary tendencies.

In addition, we must criticize ourselves closely, [while] not allowing one unfavorable trait to remain uncorrected [in our lives.]” (E. G. White) And like Judas, if there is a delay as we tell ourselves we have time, the outcome and our destination will be like Judas. “After [he had taken] the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly [without delay].” John 13:27 (AMP) And His destination was, “a state of final spiritual ruin,” (Perdition).

My friends, it’s our choice, too allow God’s Spirit to enter our life and take full control or allow the principalities and powers and the rulers of the darkness of this world” to take control. But whatever our decision, “we must do quickly and [without delay.]” With eleven, the three-and-a-half-year trial period was a success, with Judas it failed.

Remember our Father did not give his only begotten Son, to die at Calvary for us to be like some experimental rat that eventually gets exterminated. But the plan of salvation was designed for us “to prosper and not to harm [us.] But to give us hope and a future, [throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity] Jer. 29:11 (KJV)

I can remember trying to get from New York City to upstate New York to pick up a car in the shop that had broken down on my wife a week or two earlier. I started out early one morning to my destination. First the city bus, then the train that took me to the end of the line. Then I took another bus that took me so far, then I thumbed and walked and thumbed until I saw a cab that took me to my location, oh the joy of the arrival!!

What a journey from one destination to the next. But I survived the journey, I did not stop until I had reached my goal. Friends, what is your destination and how far are you planning to go. If you feel comfortable where you are spiritually then you need to re-examine what you really have a passion for, the things of this world or eternal life.

When Judas, became a disciple his destination was centered on being a part of a movement that would overtake the Roman government and bring Him fame and fortune and a high position in the new government. “But then “after the devil had already prompted Judas, to betray Jesus…..the disciples had eaten Then Christ begin to pour water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him………

”Truly I tell you, [Christ says] no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.” John 13:16 (KJV) My friends, to serve others was not Judas destination, what about you and I where is our destination.
