Have You Received Your Invitation Yet?

708.  "Have You Received Your Invitation Yet?"                March 8, 2013
Revelation 22-Part 31
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. and let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.  Revelation 22:17 KJV

The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come, and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. NIV



LET IT GLOW

Have you received your invitation yet? Oh, don't go to the mailbox outside or the inbox on your email to look for it, because  it won't be there. I'm talking about the invitation that the Holy Spirit writes upon your heart. The one that He sends out to the lost, to come to Jesus.

If you have received the invite, how did you answer? Are you going? Have you accepted it yet? I got mine when I was 16 and accepted it. How about you?

If not, then why? Everything has been paid for, so it is all free to the recipient. Please say yes and come to Jesus. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins, come into your heart, and be your Savior.

Jesus lovingly awaits your answer. The invite may not come again. Today is the day of salvation. Don't put it off any longer, friend. Your eternal life depends upon it.
Come, so you can be a part of the celebration in heaven with us. Jesus has His hand outstretched to you.

Here are three invitations:

1. To the one who hears,
2. To the one who is thirsty, living water is extended without cost,
3. To the one who will come.

This is an unlimited offer of grace and salvation to all who desire to have their thirsty souls quenched.
Is your soul thirsty for God? Do you hear His invitation? Will you be the one to come today? I am praying for you.

LET IT GROW

Verse 18 has a stern warning-if you add to the Words, God will add to him the plagues described in this book; if you take Words away, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, described in this book.

That is a serious thing, to add or take away from what John wrote in Revelation. Don't even treat it carelessly, but take it seriously. God will punish anyone who does such a thing. It is the inspired Word from God.

Swindoll says there are other ways of altering God's Word, other than using the pen or eraser:

• disobeying-willfully rebelling against clear commands of Scripture,
• disregarding-intentionally ignoring what is wwritten,
• distorting-purposely twisting the true meaning of God's Word to accomodate our opinions,
• diluting-adding other traditions, texts, or teachers as "authoritative truth."

Keep the words of God by hearing, accepting, internalizing, and applying them to our daily lives.

LET IT GO

Let go of sin and come to Jesus.

Let go of pride and come to Jesus.

Let go of the world and come to Jesus.

Accept His free gift of salvation today, friend.
