       The belief that you will somehow miss out on life if you believe in Jesus today is a great deception from the enemy. Satan and his fallen angels have deceived your mind, and you are believing their lies. But the good news today is that you have a choice. If you’re eyes are open to see the truth, and you see it today, please don’t turn away from the truth you see. Accept Jesus, embrace him, count him as your personal Lord and Savior. Don’t let Satan steal away the seed that has been sown today. Don’t turn away from God’s tug on your heart. All there is with God is gain, not loss. Again, let’s review the Gospel message. All of us our born into this world separated from God. We are born with sin within our hearts. God sent Jesus into this world, and he lived a perfect life and died on the cross as a payment for our sins, the wrongs we’ve done against God and against others. God requires a payment for sin. Jesus provided a perfect sacrifice on our behalf, one that is acceptable to God, made for us. And God raised him from the dead on the third day after he died.

Do Not Disbelieve, But Believe in Jesus (TMF:1224)

       There are some of you out there who just need to see to believe. And that’s okay. Let’s look at the passage again in John, it says, “Then he [Jesus] said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” (John 20:27, 28, ESV). Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:27, 28, ESV). I pray for you today that God will do that same for you so that you will believe. Now, there are some of you out there, some of you who believe what I’ve been saying, but you feel like you don’t want to fully commit yourself to Jesus. You’re afraid that if you accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, that somehow you’ll miss out in life. You’re afraid that God won’t let you have some of the things in life that you want. Believe me, the way to true and fulfilling life is through Christ. In fact, he is the only way to have absolute, true fulfillment in this life. The belief that you will somehow miss out on life if you believe in Jesus today is a great deception from the enemy.

Is All This in the Bible Out-Dated Nonsense? (TMF:1223)

       Perhaps there are some of you out there who have been listening to what I’ve been talking about, about angels’ and the spiritual forces of evil, and you think all of this is make-believe. You believe this to out-dated nonsense. I pray, today, that God will reveal himself to you—that he will show himself in a way that is undeniable, so that you may believe in him, so that you believe in his supernatural power and the work of his created beings, his angels. It is recorded for us in John chapter 20 the problem that Thomas had when it came to believing in the supernatural. Starting in verse 25, it says, “So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe” (John 20:25, ESV). There are some of you out there who just need to see to believe. And that’s okay. Let’s look at the passage again in John, it says, “Then he [Jesus] said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” (John 20:27, 28, ESV).

God is Always with Us, but are Angels? (TMF:1222)

       The Bible tells us that God is always with us, but it would appear that our guardian angels may not always be with us. If we turn to Psalm 34, and verse 7, we read: “The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them” (ESV). So, God definitely sends angels to help us when we need help, just as we talked about at the beginning of this sermon with Susan and Larry. And it seems that God assigns a specific angel to help us, a guardian angel. We have probably come to believe this to be true in our own lives. God directs his angels to work for our behalf. So, to recap, we can note the following ways that angel’s minister to us, as God’s chosen servants: 1) Angels are God’s messengers, 2) They minister to us on a personal level, 3) Angels comfort us, 4) They work to accomplish God’s will, to work his will for us, 5) God’s angels are around us and waiting to provide us with help, and 6) Angels deliver us from our trouble.

The Angel Had Insight into the Future (TMF:1221)

       God has already decided what he is going to do in the future, and he was about to give Daniel some keen insight into some of these things, as he had already been doing in the previous chapters. So, Daniel’s prayer got answered with the angels help. And notice how the angel says that after he tells Daniel the things God has appointed for him to hear, that he will have to go fight against, again, the prince of Persia. The angel himself already had insight into his own future, for he said that after he would fight against the prince of Persia, that he would in fact then face off with the prince of Greece. And, again, he says in verse 21 that he is going to need the angel Michael’s help in warding off these demonic forces. And that it will only be him and Michael to fight them. But notice how he says, “there is none who contends by my side against these except Michael, your prince” (ESV). He calls Michael the angel Daniel’s prince. This is interesting because it seems to signify that Michael is in fact Daniel’s guardian angel. Now, if he was Daniel’s guardian angel, it seems to indicate that this angel was not always with him.
