Repentence, Judgement, The Book of Life

Hello Beloved,


I have just finished reading a book by Dr. David Jeremiah, called  AGENTS OF THE APOCALYPSE.  The last chapter of the book is called " THE JUDGE"  . As I was reading it something inside of me stirred  up and I felt the need to repent all over again... .
When you repent how do you do it?  Do you say something like this;  Father forgive me of all my sins , and then say Amen or do you stop and look inside and make a list and ask  forgiveness of each offense?  Well, I wasn't really sure how I was suppose to do it so I decided after reading this chapter to start all over again and repent. 
Matthew 5:16  " let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
We should not use this verse to say something like .... Hey look at what I did! I gave so and so money, or I stopped and gave the man at the corner asking for food, food. When you start to brag on yourself , then you have just received your reward..
It's the little things we forget to ask forgiveness for.. example... You just ran a red light, you went over the speed limit, ran a stop sign...  thinks like that ... You broke the law when you did it.. What about cussing that driver out who pulled in front of you, calling people names, throwing trash out of the window of your car..  Has someone ask you for something and you lied about having it?   What about plotting against someone? Ever done that? What about using the computer to watch porn, or read a magazine with porn?  Have you let your mind go and have a dirty fantasy?  What about hardening heart against someone or something?  Have you ever done anything like this?
I have.  So after reading this chapter in this book ... I had some serious things to own up too.   Have you ask for forgiveness for the things you think are insignificant to you but are not to God?
You may not know the impact of what you do or say around someone until it is to late to take it back... So, we need to be extra careful how we act or how we speak when we are around people.. Remember, even if your alone, Jesus Christ knows.  We really do not have any secrets , you can lie to self but you can not lie to God.
There is a book called " The Book of Life."  and YES!  it is real! Is your name written in there or has it been blotted out? You don't know?  Well, then it is time to REPENT of your sins .. Big ones, little ones, and insignificant ones.... and MEAN IT.  I want to hear "  Well done, thou good and faithful servant'. Not; " I never knew  you".   I want to be in the light not the darkness.
YOUR LIFE MATTERS.   How you live your life matters.  In the end your life choices will determine where you spend eternity; with Christ Jesus or without Him.. YOU are the one making the choice.
Anyone not found written in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire.
So the choice is yours to make , don't wait long because Jesus is coming soon!!
Remember to smile : it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.
God Bless you.   in the love of Christ Jesus , your sister in Christ, vickie
