ARE YOU READY?

Matthew 24:3 As the Lord sat on the Mount of Olives, His disciples came to Him privately, and asked "....what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" Wars, rumors of war, Increase crime; bolted doors. Earthquakes in divers places. Fear frozen on many faces. Worldwide chaos; lawlessness. Increasing mental & emotional stress. The love of many waxing cold. The young no longer respect the old. Many carry a heavy load; No rest for weary minds and souls. Epidemic depression and despair; Signs of the time.....everywhere. Strange signs in earth and sky. Legalized murder and suicide. Increasing famine worldwide. Many choose to live a lie. Ungodliness impacts most homes thru t.v., computers, and iPhones. We're quickly loosing freedom of choice; Truth no longer will have a voice. Terrorism.......far and near The beginning of sorrows it seems is here. Deception abounds from east to west. Perilous times; great distress. Seduced by spirits of fear & greed; the focus of many is me, Me, ME! Numerous believers are going astray; Is this the "Great Falling Away?" Fraud and abuse; economic instability. Increase technology; weak morality. Widespread division; little unity. The government's subtle control of communities. Rebellious children; broken homes. All creation groans and moans. Weather patterns going insane. The "end of the age" labor pains. Double trouble from shore to shore will greatly increase even more. No ones knows the day and year that our Lord will soon appear. His servant, Sandra G Williams

JUST ANOTHER DAY There's a time to live and a time to die; One day we all must say good-by. Though death is daily found everywhere, It catches most folk unprepared! My day begins in a spin; Sometimes I wish I had a twin! The alarm clock rings, my kids get up; I pour hot coffee in my cup. I say a quick prayer, I comb my hair, I can't decide what I should wear. Red or blue; What shall I do? I must choose quick; no time to lose! My kids can't find their shoes and socks! I'm frequently checking the kitchen clock. Frustration builds, I start to fuss! My kids rush out to catch the bus. I crank my car and head for work. DARN, hot coffee spills on my shirt! As morning traffic creeps along, I listen to my favorite songs. At work I sit down at my desk, there's much to do; what a mess! I'm much too busy to break for lunch; I'll grab a sandwich and fries to munch. The hours at work don’t go by fast. The time to go has come at last! I'm very tired and about to flop, But I need to make a few quick stops. Walgreens, Publix, Dillard's too; I have to return a pair of shoes. Today I haven't really felt my best, But I'll be fine with a little rest. As I walk about the store and shop, I clutch my chest and then I drop! A woman shouts "Are you o.k.?" I felt my life slip away. My soul has entered a dark place; Strange creatures stare in my face! The air is filled with death and gloom; I hope this nightmare ends real soon! I had not planned to die today; I have kids to raise and bills to pay! My God! I'm only forty-two; I still had many things to do! I still can hear the pastor's voice: "Heaven or hell is your choice. Tomorrow may not come your way; Give your heart to Christ today!" I mocked at those who preached God's word. I didn't believe the things I heard. I would lie and pretend that I was saved. I mimicked how the religious behaved. I sung in the choir and said "Amen", But I led a secret life of sin! Every Sunday, I traditionally came; God's word was preached to me in vain. In hell my soul is bound in chains; there is no rest for my tortuous pain! Screaming and weeping are everywhere; Continual torment and despair! Just another day....so I thought; My life on earth came to a halt! If only I could live again, I would not live and die in sin! Death won’t announce how it comes; It can be at work or while having fun. Death will intrude upon dreams and plans; It's not a respector of child or man. What about the state of your heart? Where will you go when your spirit departs? There are only two eternal homes; Heaven rejoices while hell moans! Only in Christ are we fully assured That our soul’s salvation is eternally secure. Your choice will seal your final fate; The wrong choice is an eternal mistake! The most important choice you’ll make, Is not having a baby or choosing a mate; It’s not your career or buying a home, It’s confessing Jesus as Lord alone! Tomorrow maybe too late; Now is the time, don’t hesitate! Don’t gamble with your soul’s fate Repent, for goodness sake!

MY FINAL REQUESTDeath is not final for those in Christ,Those who served Him during this life.God, not death, has the final word for those who obediently and joyfully served.When a saint dies,A precious jewel leaves the earth,A rare jewel of great worth!They enter a door of eternal gladness,Not a door of misery and sadness.Our time here on earth is not very long,Today we are here and tomorrow gone.But the Shepherd and lover of our souls Has prepared a place for His faithful fold;So when the final chapter of this life ends,A new chapter in Paradise with Him begins.Your love one is absent from sight; not your heart.Death only keeps you physically apart.If you could hear the voice of your love one today,I believe this is what you would hear him/her say: I hope the tears you shed for me,Are tears of joy and victoryMy spirit and soul are not deceasedBut abide in GOD'S kingdom of joy and peace.I did my best to be the keeper of my brotherTo be kind and generous to family & others.You shall see me no more for a moment of time;I'm with the Lord and doing fine.Though you've gathered today in remembrance of me,What really matters is where you’ll spend eternity.The saddest thought that enters my mind,Is for a soul to be lost at the appointed time.Don’t allow your life to slip away,Without giving your heart to Jesus today.As I stepped into eternity to be with my King,My soul began to rejoice and singMy earthly body will be placed in the ground,But I’m clothed in white w/ a righteous crown.The casket you see holds an empty shell.I'm in heaven where the righteous dwell;And with my soul it is well.There are colors in heaven I’ve never seen!There are beautiful trees and clear, blue streams.No natural lamps are in this place-It’s illuminated with God’s amazing grace.The glory of God is on every wall.The aroma of worship fill the halls.The presence of God is precious and sweet-His praise is written on every street. Hosanna Blvd, Emmanuel Lane.Everywhere, throughout heaven, the name of Jesus is proclaimed!"Dead End" roads can't be found.All of heaven is holy ground!I see the All-powerful God. The Holy One.He's clothed in a garment brighter than the sun. I see saints and angels dance before God’s throne-Proclaiming Him King and Lord alone!They fill God’s kingdom w/ thunderous celebration-And reverently bow in adoration. They bow before the Ancient of Daysgiving Him honor, glory, and praise.Throughout heaven holy hands are raised-To the Alpha and Omega – the Truth, the Life, and the only Way! The streets of heaven are paved with gold.The atmosphere is neither hot nor cold.There are no blind, deaf, or lame.There is no sickness, death, or shame.There are musical sounds I've never heardAnd the atmosphere is alive with God's word!Joy and laughter are exploding all over the placeI'm standing in the Lord's presence face-to-face! Our labor for God is not in vain.There is no sorrow; there is no pain!There is no jealousy, hatred, or greedIn the kingdom of God’s righteous seed. I see a table prepared for a feastcovered with God’s love, grace, and peac!Eyes truly haven’t seen nor ears heardwhat God has prepared for those who faithfully served! I’m now in the place Christ prepared for me.There’s no other place I’d rather be.To my family and my friends – be at peace and be blessed;And to all of you I'm making this final request: Rejoice with me! I’m finally home!I see King Jesus on His throne.No words are adequate to describe what I seeAs I stand in awe of His majesty.His servant,Sandra G.

John 3:3 (NKJV) 3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."John 3:4 (NKJV) 4 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"John 3:5 (NKJV) 5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.John 3:6 (NKJV) 6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.John 3:7 (NKJV) 7 "Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.John 3:17 (NKJV) 17 "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.John 3:18 (NKJV) 18 "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.John 3:19 (NKJV) 19 "And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.John 3:20 (NKJV) 20 "For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.John 3:21 (NKJV) 21 "But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God."Isaiah 53:3 (NET) 3 He was despised and rejected by people, one who experienced pain and was acquainted with illness; people hid their faces from him; he was despised, and we considered him insignificant.Isaiah 53:4 (NET) 4 But he lifted up our illnesses, he carried our pain; even though we thought he was being punished, attacked by God, and afflicted for something he had done.Isaiah 53:5 (NET) 5 He was wounded because of our rebellious deeds, crushed because of our sins; he endured punishment that made us well; because of his wounds we have been healed.Isaiah 53:6 (NET) 6 All of us had wandered off like sheep; each of us had strayed off on his own path, but the LORD caused the sin of all of us to attack him.*Soundtrack: "Sin and Retribution" by Future World Music
