Nothing else is as important as being right with God ! That means putting Him first in your life and believing in His Son Jesus as the Savior.
"And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." - Mark 12: 30, 31
Following is a 9 minute sermon by Pastor David Wilkerson on the subject of "Get right with God." Pastor Wilkerson is the founding pastor of the non-denominational Times Square Church in New York City. He is best known for his book, "The Cross and The Switchblade." There was a movie made from the book which you may find on You Tube. Pastor Wilkerson went to be with the Lord in 2011.
His sermon clip above is a message of grace but also a warning. He tells us that what is not preached much any more is that Jesus will return soon. And friends, that is why it is so urgent to make sure you are right with God and that you believe that Jesus is the Savior and the only one who can wash away your sins by His shed blood at Calvary. He was our substitute; He took our place and took on all our sins at the Cross, so that if we believe in Him and His redemption , we may have eternal life.
As has been written many times on this blog, Bible prophecy is being fulfilled now at warp speed ! We do not know the day or the hour of Jesus' return, but He did give us signs so that we would know that we were in the "season" of His return . For these signs, read Matthew 24, Luke 21, and Mark 13.
In the above video, Pastor Wilkerson tells us "to have victory over sin, spend much time with God." We do that by much prayer and daily Bible reading.
"And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart." - Jeremiah 29:13
"The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, heaven without hell." - William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, who lived from 1829 to 1912.
One of Pastor Wilkerson's best known sermons is "A Call To Anguish" which follows. It is a powerful and emotional sermon of 56 minutes. I urge you to watch the entire video.
In the above video, Pastor Wilkerson tells us that "anguish is extreme pain and stress; deep inner pain, agony." Some of you might can relate to that.

These are the last moments of the end of days!
Jesus will come to take true believers to heaven soon in the Rapture of the Church, His Bride.
If you are not right with God and have not accepted His Son Jesus Christ as the Savior, you will be left behind after the Rapture to face unbelievable horrors and destruction. If you do not put your faith in Jesus during the 7 year Tribulation period, you will be destroyed and spend eternity in the lake of fire....hell. Remember also not to take the Mark of the Beast (antichrist) in order to buy and sell and to obtain food. You will be pledging your allegiance to the antichrist and not God if you do so. Some scholars believe that the "mark" will be an RFID chip or tattoo on the forehead or in your right hand, as found in Revelation 13: 16-18. Many scholars today believe that this "mark" will alter the person's DNA, preventing him to ever turn to God. It will damn the person to hell. Please read all of Revelation 13 if you have time. It is better to be killed than to take the "mark". If you are a believer in Jesus during the tribulation, you will go to heaven when the antichrist's wicked reign beheads you. (Revelation 20:4)
Romans 10:9,10,13 tells us: (9) "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?" - John 11:25, 26
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." - John 14:6
Jesus loves you and is waiting to hear from you!
Turn to Him in faith before it is too late!
It will be easier to be saved now before the Rapture, because soon after that when Jesus takes us to heaven, the 7 year Tribulation will begin under the reign of the antichrist. You will be tempted to take the "Mark" to feed yourself and your family at that time. DO NOT take the Mark !!
Have a blessed and Christ centered weekend.... and life !
