Are You In?

[Ron Piggott]

Greetings Friends
This past week I was getting myself a snack while someone had the
television on. At the time a Hollywood actor was being interviewed and was
being interviewed about the Spirit world and talking with the dead. It's
the Devil and demons that cause such events to happen. But the fact is
North America is hungry for a Spiritual experience. This experience should
be found in Jesus. Even if we look in the news over the past few weeks a
lot is happening. The State of Arkansas has banned the Darwin Theory
because it cannot be proven. Yet the Devil is on the attack and is trying
to get as much of a foot hold as possible. Just recently the Saskatchewan
government banned the Lord's prayer in school while schools where this was
previously banned is remitting prayer into the daily exercises of the
school. As we get closer to Y2K the hunger for Spirituality continues to
increase. Nastradomus had predicted the end of the world to occur during
one month this summer. People were getting ready for it ... While the time
has passed and Nastradomus is wrong. The Bible says that no one knows the
date or the time except the Father. And it's easy for the Christians to say
`I knew that verse' and we know not to follow Nastradomus and be involved
in other cults. If you are not following Nastradomus you may be watching TV
shows that mock Christianity. But the wrath of God is going to come on them
like there is no tomorrow in just a few years from now. You have no
business endorsing what is mocking God. Instead feed yourself truth ...
fill your Spirit with the Word of God. Then you will get your break through
with God that you so badly desire and need.
Then there is the problem that exists within the Christian church where the
people believe they are in the full presence of the Holy Spirit and they
are so happy about it when in reality they haven't even scratched the
surface. If your church is in the full presence of the Holy Spirit then
people will get saved every week ... everyone will leave church in perfect
health ... we would be back in the book of Acts where the church does the
welfare system / social assistance and believers are giving each other as
they have need. Even these are just a few things that would be happening if
the Spirit broke out in your church. And where does this happen? At youth
services and where people come with a genuine desire and passion to meet
with the Living God. Today the youth want the truth and God is being
faithful in pouring out His Holy Spirit at these meetings.
But do you know that there is a town, a village, a city, a country around
you that is heading to Hell and enjoying the trip. What are you doing about
this? As long as there are people on this earth The Great Commission is in
effect. If you know the truth - Jesus - what are you doing? Each Christian
is called to ministry ... It's not just for the big names. Are you
fulfilling the Great Comission in your circle of influence?
It's a Spiritual hungry world we are living in and people are searching for
the truth. Are you looking for the truth tonight? The fact is that Jesus
died 2,000 years ago and then rose from the grave and He has power to set
you free and on the right track here and now. We send out altar calls all
the time on this list because it is the direction of the Spirit. People are
needing to turn to Jesus. If the altar call is not for the person whom
received the original e-mail then it is for someone when it gets posted on
the web site. The fact is there is no goofing around in 1999. You are
either in it or not. There isn't time for nominal Christians in 1999. Folks
the world is headed to Hell tonight and we have the answer ... We have the
joy ... We have the truth ... and we are keeping it to ourselves. Tonight
if you are a nominal Christian your number is up - It's time to turn back
to Jesus and that Old Rugged Cross that has power to set you free tonight.
And Tonight if you don't know Jesus it's your night. It doesn't matter what
you have done, what your past contains. I have an annoucement for you ...
The blood of Jesus will cleanse you from all your sin tonight if you will
let Him be your Lord and Saviour. This isn't an invitation to go to the
cross and ask Jesus into your life and then live like the world when you
get up tomorrow. No. This is your opportunity of a life time to be set free
literally here and now from what ever the Devil has trapped you in and be
on your way to Heaven and enjoying your life starting over again. I will
tell you up front here and now that some of you are going to have to make
changes to your life styles after this. You know you have to ask Jesus into
your life. I want to tell you some of the costs. There are those of you who
are living out of wed lock with your boyfriend or girl friend. (By the way
if you have children do you know that is doing to them? There is no
security in this environment ... and you keep your children knots because
of your lack of commitment.) Or you may not be living together but having
intercourse. God will call an end to that after you are a child of His. You
may be in a homosexual or lesbian relationship now and God is calling an
end to that. Don't tell me God made you like that ... At some point you
choose to believe a lie from the pit of Hell and found yourself in the
situation that you are in today but God is calling you to live a Holy life
... apart from the world. It won't be long until He will convict you about
the sin in your life. You come to Jesus as you are. Then He transforms you
into the image of Jesus. For some of you that is going to be quite a
radical change. Tonight His grace is available to you and it is free for
the taking. In Jesus get a revelation that you are in need Him in whatever
circumstance you are found in today. Colossians 1:3-6 reads, "We always
pray for you, and we give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, for we have heard that you trust in Christ Jesus and that you love
all of God's people. You do this because you are looking forward to the
joys of heaven - as you have been ever since you first heard the truth of
the Good News. This same Good news that came to you is going out all over
the world. It is changing lives everywhere, just as it changed yours that
very first day you heard and understood the truth about God's great
kindness to sinners." Can I tell you tonight that you are a sinner and you
are in need of the life changing power of Jesus to touch and transform your
life. But it doesn't stop there. Jesus paid the price. It's 1999 ...
technology has the Word of God going around the world and the gospel has
just recently been preached for the first time in some places because
technology has allowed it to happen. Where the word of God is going forth
people are choosing Him. It's time you made your decision. We may not be
here tomorrow. There is no guarantee that you or I will live for another
heart beat. I am ready to go meet my maker. In the meanwhile there is a
passion inside of me that I just need to share with you that Jesus saves
and you need to turn your life over to Him where you are, tonight. You come
to Jesus as you are and He transforms you. If you are ready to make that
decision repeat after me. `Lord Jesus here I am. Use me. I'm your ...
everything I am; everything I'm not. Be my saviour and teacher. Thank you
for your death on the cross. I'm available to be used by you. In your name
I pray. Amen' If you made that decision to follow Jesus tonight send me an
e-mail at ron.p...@actsministries.org. I want to help you any way I can.
