Grab It!!!

I was working on a washer today in a laundromat and found several dollars worth of coins. I used some of them to test the machine and the rest I took and washed and left in the sink. I saw a family of three, a mother and two girls. I walked over to get my work order signed and on the way back I saw the youngest heading towards the store her hand clenched tight and a smile on her face I heard her say "yessssssss"! I wondered what would happen if her older sister had seen her? Would she fight for the money? I think so.

I smiled, then a wave came over me. This is salvation! We find it, a gift we do not deserve we are to grab it and fight for it and hold it. It is ours for the taking.

We teach our children not to fight but maybe we should teach them to fight. Fight for what is worth the fight! Salvation from God through Christ is our most treasured prize. Will we fight for it? Will we keep it? Will we treasure it? It is not to be taken lightly but to be cherished and prized. Then when we have it we can share it because once we realized the immeasurable value of it we can share it because then we truly HAVE IT!!!!!

An open vision

I opened a door and walked into a room. The room was dark. In the room I stumbled around in the darkness and I came to find a book. I opened the book and started to read it and as I did a small candle started to flicker. The more I read the brighter the light became. I found that the light was in me now. The light shown into the dark room. I saw monsters. I was not scared of the monster but upset at them for robbing me of life. I accepted what the book said. I was royalty a son of a King. The King sent His Son to pay a price for me, for my freedom. I believed this and proclaimed it with my mouth. I held the book and it became sword in my hand. I used it to kill the monsters in the room. I read more. The light grew, I saw more monsters that needed to die. I also saw myself, the biggest monster of all. Slowly the Book changed me from and ugly monster into more like the Son of the King that was sacrificed for me. I saw myself in the room with many other light bearing beings around me in a big circle. Way outside of that circle of light there was still darkness and monsters yet to be slain and I saw others in darkness and I was told to carry my light to them.
I looked close and I saw a person on my right shoulder and on my left shoulder. I asked what are they?
One looks angelic and the other is in chains but is very loud. I was told the angelic one is your new life, it is free and tells you and guides you in the good things that God has for you. And the other I asked? Well the other is your old self. It has no power unless you free it but it has a voice that you can listen to if you want.
It will put doubt and fear in your life. It will guide you back into you old ways. I said well that's stupid. Why should he be there? What power on earth keeps him there? The reply...you do!!!!!

Find the light!!!!
Christ is the light!!!!
