Christian Prayer Room

[tenac]

As we walk this earthly path whether we are born again believers living for Jesus or we are not a born again believer still living for the devil. We all come across many what we call forks in the road that if we take one road life can turn out one way and if we take the other road life can turn out another way. The decisions we make all thru life that sometimes are good decisions and sometimes bad decisions...right? And regardless of whether we are saved or unsaved....we all make good decisions and bad decisions that can change things...change our life...in many ways from not so much to pretty dramatically. And in these decisions we sometimes have a lot of information and then sometimes we dont....sometimes we put a lot of thought into the decisions and sometimes we kinda sorta think about it and it seems Ok so we just go for it and all in all...life can change in a good way a bad way or a tragic way. This morning though...i want us to look back...many years...to that proverbial fork in the road that we had before us that was the most important decision that set our future life in motion...that fork in the road that when we look back all those years that impacted our life from that moment all thru our life right up to this very time we are living. That one big decision that we know set our future in motion right up to this moment in time. As for me...it was like 1971 at the age of 15...that i was walking along one day and i unexpectedly walked upon that proverbial fork in the road of life. Now i would like to think that i stopped and looked to the right and then to the left and maybe stood there for a spell and tried to make a conscience decision as to which way i might go. But...im thinking i most likely didnt give it a second thought and just kept on truckin. Dont know if i went left or right...if one way looked more traveled...safer...more appealing...but i can assure you of this. It was one wild and crazy magic carpet ride that i ended up on! The road i choose was the road that found me trying to set new records as to just how much drugs and booze one human could put into their body and still continue down the helter skelter path of destruction without actually dying...although i came close so many times not really giving a hoot about much of nothing. Living on the edge and knocking on deaths door seemed to be my favorite past time...all for the 25 years that i traveled down that self inflected hell on earth that i had created for myself...right along with my then good friend satan. Making bad decisions at most likely every fork in the road i came upon was easy for me because i just didnt care. However...there was Hope and those last two years of that life...now 40 years old.....in hind sight of the Holy Spirit having me under conviction...maybe the final time before i faced that last fork in the road that led to death. I made the most important decision of my life....i finally took the right road that led to salvation. In my bedroom one night...flying high as always...thinking i would never see another sober day in my life that i was sure to end soon. I got on my knees and cried out to Jesus and guess what...He was right there waiting for me and not only did He save my soul He also saved my life. For 29 years now Jesus has kept me on the new path of righteousness and away from the life that almost destroyed me for those 25 years. So my point? No matter what you have done in the past....no matter what you are doing right now. If you will surrender your life to Jesus and ask for His forgiveness...He will save you right here and now and prepare you a place in heaven for all eternity...and just as awesome...Jesus will walk with you all the days of your life here on planet earth guiding you thru every fork in the road you come upon if you will let Him...Yes...He loves you that much!

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Psalm 16:11

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16

I Have No Regrets About My Past...My Past Is Who I Am Today...Born Again!
