About 20 minutes ago a small family left our shop here.
And I went to share the experience with you, In hopes that it maybe will help someobody
out there. It was a grandmother, a mother, and two small
children. One of them was about two years old, a cute
little girl, And the other child, his name was Daniel,
about a ten year old boy. And when they first came in, little Daniel
he walked right up to me, At the back of the store and I kind-of walked
around him, Up to the cash register counter area and soon
he came behind me, He came up to the register...
And he had in his hand some sort of piece of paper as he walked around.
And I didn't know what this piece of paper was.
But, he came up to me at the cash register, he approached me...
This little boy had a black t-shirt on; With all of these white little skulls all
over it, Morbid looking skulls all over, but he seemed
like such a sweet little boy. And He came up to me and he showed me this
piece of paper. I guess it was a paper he got out of a happy
meal from mcdonalds, Or maybe wendy's or burger king or some fast
food place... I guess they're giving away free toys - free
pokemon toys. And he showed this paper to me and it had
all of these pokemon characters, And I didn't show very much interest in that,
because I don't get into pokemon, But I looked at him and he looked at me,
And I said, "do you believe in God?" And he looked at me with the most empty looking
face that I've ever seen. And it nearly brought me to tears, just the
emptiness, That this little boy, around ten years old,
that this boy had. It was like he knew nothing about Jesus; He
knew nothing about God. It was like I said a foreign word to him,
That just totally put him, in like a shock... And he just kind of retreated away from me
looking at me walking backwards, And then he turned away and just, kind-of,
walked in slow motion, Kind-of like he saw a ghost or something...
And I could tell that this boy had never heard anything about God.
And he walked around the store for a few minutes, His family was in there for maybe 15-20 minutes
shopping... And then the little boy maybe a few minutes
later walked back up to me. He had his piece of paper still in his hand;
This pokemon paper that showed all of these characters,
With their names on them and stuff... And it's like he forgot what I said to him,
he totally disregarded it... And he walked back up to me, as pitifully
looking as could be, And he had this pokemon paper in his hand
and he showed it to me again, He was showing me the names of the characters...
This was Daniel's reality. This pokemon was his reality, it's what he
knew. And that is what is going on in this generation
today; Young people, children, teenagers, adults
everywhere... There reality is not the true reality which
is JESUS. Their reality is pokemon...
Their reality is spongebob... Their reality is dora...
Their reality is ipods, cellphones, desperate housewives, american idol,
Dancing with stars, all of these different things,
All of these different television shows; That is their reality...
The people's minds are set on the things, That are going to fade, that are going to
rot, That are going to whither, that are going
to rust; that are not eternal... And it breaks my heart and it should break
your heart, That most people do not know Jesus.
So I ask myself and the Lord ask me, what am I doing about it?
What are you doing about it? Are you making yourself available to Jesus?
Because if you're not making yourself available to Jesus,
Then the blood of these people is on your hands...
And it will be on my hands... When Jesus tells us to go; when Jesus tells
us to speak... If there is people in your family, if there
is children of yours, Whoever it is... If we are not putting there
hands in Jesus hands, If we are not leading them to JESUS;
Then we might as well be leading them to hell, We might as well be putting their hand into
the hand of satan. So I pray that you will make yourself available
to Jesus, And the people in your lives, ask Jesus...
But the people in your lives; whether it's your children, grandchildren,
Moms, dads, brothers, sisters, neices, nephews, aunts, uncles,
Cousins, neighbors, enemies, the people in your life,
The people that you have access to... Which we have access all over the world on
the internet. If you're not using this precious life that
the Lord has given us, This time that He has blessed us with to bring
glory to Him, To lead more people to Him; then you're living
a life in vain. And I believe it was John the Baptist that
said, Every tree that does not bear good fruit will
be cut down from the root, And thrown into the fire...
Well I know the ax is already laid to the root of the trees,
And the Lord is cutting down many many trees right now...
I could be next, you could be next... We better make sure that we are about the
Father's business. I have work to do for the Lord Jesus,
And you have work to do for the Lord Jesus. But you must make yourself available to Him,
I must make myself available to Him. Are you making yourself available to Jesus?
Are you set apart exclusively, only for His use?
Or are you still trying to have it both ways? Are you still trying to straddle the fence?
God will not be mocked, you cannot fool Him. I pray that you will go to Jesus.
Get your life in order with Him. Get things straight, get your house in order
and then when you do... There is people that need to hear the truth.
So, go to Jesus before it's too late. Make a difference in this world,
You can do all things through Jesus Christ. He wants to use you, but He will not go against
your will. I love you and may Jesus bless you.
