A FINAL CONVICTION on the “FORGOTTEN GOD” By Francis Chan (Part IX)

CONVICTION; “a fixed or firm belief: No clever argument, and NO PERSUASIVE FACT OR THEORY COULD MAKE A DENT IN YOUR CONVICTION.”

My friends  today God  needs you to CONVICT, as you allow Gods Spirit to transform you. And With a PASSION, like you have never known before give it all to the Master.  Friends, the final days of this world is finally drawing to a close.

The first Church after Christ ascension started with just a FEW FAITHFUL MEN and WOMEN. through DEATH, PERSECUTION, AND CONVICTION ,they endured and a movement started. Our Savior is now asking the same from His Church who He expects to finish his work.

The next chapter in this controversy will soon come to a CLIMAX, “when He had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.” Rev 8:1

“God’s dwelling place is the center of life and the scene of constant activity.Music ever echoes from the vaults of heaven, and choruses composed of ten thousand times ten thousand of angel voices, sing the praises of the Lamb and of Him who sitteth on the throne. When the little company on earth are prepared, the sealing angel speeds back to heaven with the message that the work is done. Christ in the sanctuary above, lays aside His priestly robes, and the Lamb appears as the King of kings. Angel leaders marshal the hosts of heaven. The throne of Omnipotence is moved. God accompanies His Son to earth. Attended by myriads of angels, the Rulers of heaven and earth leave heaven empty, drawn earthward by the faithful ones whose hearts have become the abiding place of His ETERNAL SPIRIT.“ (E. G. White Writings)

MY friends will you be waiting for our Savior when He comes, will you have the Character of Christ “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” 1 John 3:2

And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”  Acts 2:43-47

My friends this was the MOTHER CHURCH OF ALL CHRISTIAN BASED CHURCHES where each member had a fixed or firm belief: No clever argument, and “NO PERSUASIVE FACT OR THEORY COULD MAKE A DENT IN their CONVICTION” as they allowed God’s Spirit to TRANSFORM their MIND, BODY, and CHARACTER into the image of the GOOD SHEPHERD.

As a child of God, as the CHOSEN GENERATION God seeks an AGAPE LOVE from each of us. Which is a SELFLESS, SACRIFICIAL, and a UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. A love That will bear Christ cross. A love that will say to the Master with all SINCERITY, and PASSION “NOT MY WILL BUT YOUR WILL BE DONE”

It must be a PASSION, and let’s consider it a PRIVILEGE to be a chosen vessel for God right before His coming. But my friends you cannot fear what the Master may ask you to do through His spirit. The Journey will be difficult Satan will use every tactic to discourage you.

But My friends if you CONVICT to Christ, as you “lay aside every weight, and the sin (especially our “SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE SINS which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,” Heb12:1

And Stay FAITHFUL, as you “take the HELMET of SALVATION, and the SWORD of the SPIRIT, which is the WORD of GOD,” and PRAY without ceasing, as you continue to FOCUS, and ENDURE, forever moving toward your DESTINY which is reaching the PROMISE LAND.

“Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing will come in the morning.” My friends I hope you have enjoyed our discussions on ”THE FORGOTTEN GOD” by Francis Chan the last nine days.
