feet of them which have buried thy husband
are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
Then fell she down straightway at his feet,
and yielded up the ghost (Acts 5:9,10).
God Sees Every Disobedience
When the Lord gave Jericho into the hands
of the Children of Israel, Joshua told the people
not to take anything out of the city because
it was cursed. If anyone did take something,
it would cause all the people to be cursed.
And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from
the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves
accursed, when ye take of the accursed
thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse,
and trouble it (Joshua 6:18).
Nevertheless, a man named Achan took of
the spoil, and he thought no one would know
about it; but God knew. That one disobedience
greatly hindered God and caused many
Israelites to lose their lives in battle. If Achan
had not sinned and brought a curse upon the
people, the Israelites would have won.
Afterward, the Lord directed Joshua to confront
Achan about what he had done. And
Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed
I have sinned against the LORD God of
Israel, and thus and thus have I done
(Joshua 7:20).
Achan went on to tell Joshua all he had
taken. Then Joshua and all the Children of
Israel took Achan, the things he had stolen, his
entire family and all of his livestock and possessions
to the valley of Achor. And Joshua
said, Why hast thou troubled us? the
LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all
Israel stoned him with stones, and burned
them with fire, after they had stoned them
with stones (Joshua 7:25).
The Bible clearly says, The soul that sinneth,
it shall die (Ezekiel 18:20). But when
you do the works of God, you will reap the
benefits. God honors those who do secret
works that are a labor of love toward His
name. Then shall the King God say unto
them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of
my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation of the world:
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me
meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked,
and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited
me: I was in prison, and ye came unto
me (Matthew 25:34–36).
Jesus was talking to those who were righteous;
and they asked Him, “When did we do all
those things?” And Jesus answered, Verily I
say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my brethren,
ye have done it unto me (Matthew 25:40).
When you bless your brothers and sisters in
the Lord, it is the same as blessing God.
Make Jesus Your Savior
If you are unsaved today, God knows about
it. Jesus went to Calvary and died for you, so
won’t you give your life to Him? His nailriven
hands are reaching out for you, so say
this prayer right now: Oh, God, I am so sorry
that I have sinned against you, but I have
come home; and I am going to serve you for
the rest of my life. You said if I would ask,
you would forgive me for all of my sins. So I
ask you now to please forgive me. I believe
the blood of Jesus washes away all of my
sins. Come into my heart, Jesus! Come on in,
Jesus! If you meant that prayer, He has come;
and He is yours.
Now, you must go on to receive the wonderful
baptism of the Holy Ghost. Jesus is
coming for those who are watching for Him
to come, but you cannot really be watching
without the Holy Ghost. Jesus said, Blessed
are those servants, whom the lord when he
cometh shall find watching (Luke 12:37).
He also said through John the Revelator, If
therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come
on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know
what hour I will come upon thee (Revelation
3:3).
If you don’t have the Holy Ghost, you
must be seeking to receive Him. The Lord
has told me three different times that those
who make the Rapture will have to have the
Holy Ghost. He is the only one who will
change you from the inside out and give
you your glorified body. In a moment, in
the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead
