NAILS,    DOORS,    AND   JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!

(John 10;7-9)
"Then Jesus said to them again, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, I AM THE DOOR OF THE SHEEP."
*(Please read John 10:1 - 30).

"Know that the LORD, He is GOD.
It is HE who has made us, and not we ourselves;
"We are His people and the sheep of His pasture."
(JESUS speaking)"I AM the door. If anyone enters BY ME,
He will be saved, and will go in and out
and find pasture." (John 10:7-9)

(Entering the sheepfold through Jesus is a saving action and provides the sheep with abundant
life and provision.  The phrase "go in and out" (vs. 9) does not mean that one can vacillate about
being in Christ one moment and outside of Him the next.  The picture is one of security and
safety IN CHRIST JESUS as the DOOR to the sheep's daily comings and goings.)

OK, back to the  door-----there are nails that hold the hinge to the door FRAME, and nails that
hold the door to the hinge.
Also, of course there were nails (SPIKES!!!) that held JESUS on the cross.  The nails represent
THE TRUTH OF WHO GOD IS, AND HIS LOVE FOR US!!!

"FOR when  GOD made a promise to ABRAHAM, because HE could swear by no one greater,
HE swore by Himself.  Saying "surely blessing  I will BLESS you, and multiplying I will multiply
you.' "
"And so, after he (Abraham) had patiently endured...he obtained the Promise." (Hebrews 6:20)

"(Heb. 6:17) "Thus GOD, determining to show more  abundantly to (us) the heirs of promise,
the immutability (unchangeableness) of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath.

(vs. 18) "That by two (2) immutable (unchangeable) things, in which it is impossible  for
HOLY GOD to lie, we have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

(vs. 19) "This hope we have as an  ANCHOR of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters
   "THE PRESENCE behind the veil,
Where the FORERUNNER has entered for us, even   JESUS..."

*** An  ANCHOR   is only as secure as that to which it is fastened.****

"...even  JESUS  , having become HIGH PRIEST FOREVER according  to the order of Melchizedek.
(Heb.6:13-20)

"FOR I AM THE LORD, I DO NOT CHANGE."  "JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER." (Malachi 3:6/Hebrews 13:8)      

OH!!! WHAT CAN WE DO?????  EXCEPT BOW DOWN IN AWE AND THANKSGIVING,   AND WORSHIP 'GOD MOST HIGH' "!!!!!!!! (Psalm 47:2)

HOLY GOD IS NOT LIMITED BY TIME NOR DISTANCE AS HE ANSWERS OUR PRAYERS!!!!!!!!!

***PLEASE DON'T LET THE DATES AND NUMBERS MAKE THS DIFFICULT......
**** ALL WILL COME CLEAR AT THE END OF THIS MESSAGE!!!

I PLEAD WITH YOU---PLEASE ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO "GUIDE YOU INTO
ALL TRUTH" (John 16:13). This story might be a little difficult to believe....but I experienced this personally!!!

Does the name "Blake Blessing" mean anything to you???

Well, what it means to me is:  GOD is ALL KNOWING, EVERYFWHERE PRESENT, ALL
POWERFUL, AND "FAITHFUL TO HIS WORD AND TO HIS RIGHTEOUS CHARACTER FOR HE CANNOT DENY HIMSELF." (2 TIMOTHY 2:13/AMPLIFIED BIBLE.

** GET THIS PICTURE:  After my Dad went to Heaven in 1983, my Mother lived  ALONE  in a
rural part of Franklin County, Georgia from 1983 until approximately 2004.


During that period of time, Mother lost much of her ability to hear.  During those years, I visited
Mother frequently, even though I lived approximately 35 miles from her house.

On a particular visit in 2004...I told Mother "Your grass looks nice in all of your yard."  Mother said,
"Blake cuts it for me."  Then she told me that "recently, the pump for her (water) well stopped working..... Mother said"Blake fixed it."

I then  noticed that she was wearing one of those safety devices for the elderly/disabled people.....
....that way...if the person has an emergency...they can pass the button on the device--- and it would
emit a signal that would  CALL  someone to help her.  Mother said, "BLAKE is my FIRST RESPONDER for my emergency  signal".

That really caused me to think:  "Well, I know that Mother has a (GRANDSON)  named "Blake.....
but he lives too far from her...for him to be a "first responder".  So I asked Mother "Blake Who???",
What is Blake's last name?"  She said "Blake Blessing."  I told Mother, "I would like to meet Blake".

###OK, stay with me on this now.....back to a visit with Mother (in approximately 1993)
During  this EARLIER visit with Mother, she gave to me a prayer request: a family who lived
about 2 miles from Mother's house --- Both parents of that family had died, leaving the children
with no parents.....so Mother asked me to pray for the children.  So I put the children's names on my (ongoing) prayer list.  BY GOD'S GRACE  I was faithful to continue praying for them.

@@@OK, for a few moments  --- ALL of this that you have read on this up until THIS point...
Put that "on hold" in the back of your mind...so  that YOU can  STOP, and answer the following\
question:

If  YOUR Mother was elderly, lived alone in a rural place, and she could not hear very well.....
What type of man would YOU want...to have a key to her home, so that he could go into her home
any time day or night, etc. ?????

How about a man that YOU had been praying for since he was a little boy?????

Because that is what (who!!!) MOST HOLY GOD provided for my Mother in and through Blake Blessing!!! (YES, Blake was that little boy that I had been praying for all those years!!!)

GOD REMAINS "Faithful to HIS WORD and to HIS RIGHTEOUS CHARACTER, for He CANNOT DENY HIMSELF."!!!!! (2 Timothy 2:13/Amplified  Bible).

LET US BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP GOD AND THANK HIM FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!! 

SGD  Sole  Gloria Deo  FOR THE GLORY OF GOD ALONE.
