He Started it All- Part 2 (Continuation of Resurrection Day 6AM Sunrise Service) - Elder Johnny Boswell

1 Corinthians 15:20

Latter Rain- Blessings you receive when no one else is being blessed.

We must be willing and obedient.  We cannot live how we want and do what we want and then say God ‘but you promised”!  We must be obedient!  If we want the guarantee, we have to live the way God says live, when you do what God says to do you can pray and remind Him of His Word.  When we understand and know what God promised we can walk with our head up high.

The only way you can come to church and enter into His presence and leave the same way you came in, it is because you will not yield!  Another harvest will take place when God comes back.  The harvest is us if we live right.  We want to be a part of that Resurrection Service. God is coming back for a ready people, walking circumspectly with God, continuously asking God “Am I pleasing Him?”

If we do not know when He is coming back or when we will die, how will we know when to get ready?  Therefore we need to be ready now!!!  We must follow God’s command we cannot pick and choose.  How do we think God feels when we pick and choose what we are going to follow in His Word?  We cannot love the World and God at the same time!  When God made us we were made in His image but most have the form of godliness with NO power.  We look like, talk like, act like but with NO Power and do not want no part of it!  That is a sad state to be in-to come to church most of our life NEVER knowing God!

Am I bringing glory to God with my life?  When people who know us, will they see the glory of God in our life?   We bring Him glory when we do what God wants us to do, when we live the way He wants us to.  We have to be buried and die (Romans 8:13) to bring forth fruit (Galatians 5:22,23).  Die to self, die to our will!  As long as the flesh is in the way fruit will not come.  We have to stop allowing the flesh to do what it wants us to do!  We do this by fasting, praying and speaking the Word.

Jesus started the whole thing!  He was the 1st fruit of the Resurrection.  The reason why I can love and have faith, lay hands on the sick because He started it first! The reason why we can live right is because God did first.  We owe God our praise because of the awesome sacrifice God Made!
