THE JUMPING OFF POINT

THE JUMPING OFF POINT

In order for you to enjoy the sports of hand gliding, or parachuting, there is a moment in time where you must totally commit yourself to the element of air and law of gravity. That moment is your jumping off point. A major life or death decision is made at this point because possibility of death is very real. In a split second you move from a comfort zone to one of absolute faith in man made apparatus to bring you to the ground gently. From time to time the apparatus fails and life is over.

The point of no return is instant, once your body is committed to 5000 or 10,000 feet of air, there is no turning back. Most western believers have never really known the full joy and freedom of their salvation because they pull back from the jumping off point. For a Jew or a Moslem to receive Me as savior they must jump immediately. It is rare if ever, you will see either one turn back. A great deal of serious heart wrenching contemplation took place moments before their jumping off point, which sealed the deal forever. Before jumping they knew the price would be loss of family, loss of inheritance, loss of job, loss of home, and in many cases loss of life.

Now here is a fact that may shock you; JUMPING OFF IS NOT AN OPTION. This critical information most likely was omitted by an overanxious soul winner, when you were first introduced to Me. Most shepherds are omitting this critical information from their teachings for fear of a cut in salary. When I was on earth, winning souls, I could get a crowd, but I could not hold a crowd, because of My method of presentation. I told them "He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." Matthew 10:37 (KJV)

This was a real turn off right from the start. But it got worse,
I said, "he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me." Matthew 10:38 (KJV) They knew what the cross stood for, DEATH! With this, I lost bunches of candidates, but I did not stop there, they had to know that jumping off was not an option but a must. Are you ready for this? I said, "they shall deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake." Matthew 24:9 (KJV)

I had to weed out all quitters, and the western world has a ton of quitters in the mix, that's why there is no power in My church. There is a boatload of those you call followers that are worried about their reputations. I am sorry but, these must jump or go, because "no one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back to the things behind is fit for the kingdom of God." Luke 9:62 (AMP) Praying a sinners prayer is not the jumping off place, it's an acknowledgment that you want to follow Me, but the cost has not been presented yet.

Did any one tell you, you can no longer have sex outside of marriage, that you must put your girl friend or boy friend out? How about, no more drugs, and no more ripping people off? No more getting drunk, or telling dirty jokes, and that the porn must go. Let me list some of the junk that's got to go; "immorality, impurity, indecency, [20] Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies), [21] Envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." Galatians 5:19-21 (AMP)

Because this was not made clear when you were were introduced to Me, I will need to deal with each of these issues one at a time, so your growth will be much slower because the jumping off place is broken up into many small decisions. It may take you weeks, months or years to decide on each one, just do not expect the same thrill and enjoyment as those in total free fall. This is the very reason many do not know if they will endure to the end. They still have decisions to make and they do not know what their answer will be next month. Those that decided to take the total death plunge are enjoying their new life already because they chose to loose this present life. Remember I said "he that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it." Matthew 10:39 (KJV)

It breaks My heart to say this but "the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it." Matthew 7:14 (AMP) I will safely keep all you who jump, but you must use your faith at the jumping point and want Me bad enough to jump into My righteousness, My provision, My holiness, My word, and My arms. Stop waiting for Me or someone to push you. It's not going to happen.
