Holding On To Heaven When Hell Is On Your Back

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

WE HAVE BEEN SUMMON TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF BROTHER/SISTER ________

I WOULD ASK THAT WE WOULD CONTINUE TO KEEP THIS FAMILY LIFTED UP IN PRAYER TODAY AS WELL THE DAYS TO COME----BECAUSE THERE IS POWER IN PRAYER

(EXPOUND ON DECEASED)

AND HE/SHE HAS ANSWERED THE 5TH CALL OF LIFE A CALL WE ALL MUST ANSWER IF THE LORD CONTINUES TO TARRY

AND YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE 6 CALLS TO LIFE

AND THE 1ST CALL WAS WHEN WE WAS A SUBSTANCE IN OUR MOTHERS WOMB

THE 2ND CALL WAS WHEN WE WAS BORN INTO THIS OLD SINFUL WORLD

AND JOB PUT IT LIKE THIS IN

Job 14:1 (KJV)

1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.

THE 3RD CALL IS A CALL OF REGENERATION John 3:3 (KJV)

3 JESUS TELLS NICODEMUS, , Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

THE 4TH CALL IS A CALL OF TRANSFORMATION

IN PREACH BROTHER PAUL LETTER TO ALL WHO ARE IN ROME 12 CHP VERSE 2

PREACH BROTHER PAUL TELLS US

Romans 12:2 (KJV)

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

AND IN HIS 2ND LETTER TO THE CHURCH AT CORINTH 5TH CHP VERSE 17 HE SAYS

2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

THE 5TH CALL IS THE CALL OF DEATH –A CALL NONE OF US CAN MISS IF THE LORD CONTINUES TO TARRY

FOR THE HEBREW WRITER SAYS IN THE

Hebrews 9:27 (KJV)

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

THE 6TH CALL IS A CALL OF JUDGEMENT

PAUL TELLS THE CORITHIANS IN 2COR 5:10

2 Corinthians 5:10 (KJV)

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

NOW I NEED TO PAUSE AND TELL YOU –YOU NEED NOT WORRY ABOUT THE 5 AND THE 6 CALL

AS LONG AS YOU GOT A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ONE WHO IS DOING THE CALLING

AND JUST IN CASE THERE SOMEONE HERE UNDER THE SOUND OF MY VOICE WHO DO NOT KNOW HIM AS LORD AND SAVIOR OF YOUR LIFE

MY PLEA TO YOU THIS MORNING THAT YOU NEED TO MEET HIM AND ALLOW HIM INTO YOUR HEART WHILE THE BLOOD IS STILL YET RUNNING THRU YOUR VIENS

VERY BRIEFLY I NEED EACH OF YOU TO TAKE A TRIP WITH ME SPIRITUALLY TO THE LAND OF UZ

WHEN WE REACH OUR SPIRITUAL DESTINATION

WE WILL MEET A MAN WHO LOST MORE IN ONE DAY THAN MANY OF US WILL LOSE IN A LIFETIME

A MAN WHO LOVED AND FEARED GOD – A PRAYING MAN

AND EVEN THOUGH HE LOVED AND FEARED GOD AND WAS A PRAYING MAN ---TROUBLED STILL SHOWED UP AT HIS FRONT PORCH –BUT IN SPITE OF ALL HE WENT THROUGH HE STILL HAD A PRAISE FOR GOD INSIDE OF HIM

AND VERY BRIEFLY I WOULD LIKE TO LIFT UP A PORTION OF HIS STORY ---THAT CAN BE FOUND IN THE

Job 1:20-21 (KJV)

20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

WITH THE HELP OF THE LORD AND THE GUIDIANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS

I WANT TO REASON WITH YOU ON THE THOUGHT (HOLDING ON TO HEAVEN WHEN HELL IS ON YOUR BACK

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

OUT OF ALL THE BIBICAL HERO`S OF THE OLD AND AND THE NEW TESTAMENT

THERE IS NONE THAT STOOD OUT LIKE JOB

FOR JOB STANDS OUT LIKE A MIGHTY OAK TREE IN GOD`S HEAVENLY FOREST

FOR MANY HAVE COME ON THE SCENE –BUT NONE LIKE JOB

FOR JOB ATTENDED THE UNIVERSITY OF HARD KNOCKS

WHERE HE RECEIVED A DOCTOR DEGREE IN OLE LORDY AND THANK YOU JESUS

FOR HE KNEW ALL ABOUT SORRY TRIALS AND TRIBULATION

FOR IT WAS JOB THAT ENDURED ALL HIS PROBLEMS AT ONE TIME

KEPT HIS FAITH

AND MANAGE TO HOLD ON TO HEAVEN WHEN HELL WAS ON HIS BACK

FOR JOB TOOK ALL THAT SATAN HAD TO OFFER AND CONTINUED TO HOLD ON TO GOD`S UNCHANGING HAND

FOR I KNOW THERE ARE MANY GREAT MEN AND WOMEN IN THE BIBLE THAT SUFFERED BUT NONE LIKE JOB
