REPOST!!!
IT'S THE OFFICIAL PARTY OF THE YEAR, DECADE, CENTURY, MILLENNIUM, OF ALL TIME!
Hey, everybody! You are all cordially invited to the party of ALL TIME! The party of your lifetime! Everyone will want to be there, I guarantee. The only thing is that you have to follow the requirements to go. First, you have to get to know the Bouncer. His name is J.C. The only way to get in is through JC, or else the host won’t even let you come in. People all over the world are coming.
Keep this on the hush though. It’s a surprise party. JC doesn’t even know when it’s going to happen. He knows it’s coming soon, but His Dad won’t tell him the day OR the hour. So we just have to be ready. This party is a little different than most because at this party, the host gives YOU all gifts.
But in order to get in like I said earlier, you have to get to know the Bouncer. He doesn’t live anywhere near here, but He visits a lot of meeting places that a lot of people meet Him every Sunday, and a few people meet Him mid-week. Some gathering places CLAIM to have Him visit, but He never really does.
The thing about the party is that no one but J.C.’s Dad knows when it’s going to happen, so you have to hurry up and meet Him while there’s still time. His Dad likes to refer to the surprise happening, “like a thief in the night,” because that’s how unexpected it’s going to be. Well, it’s very expected by many of J.C.’s friends, but it’s at such a weird time, that if you’re not vigilant and sober and prepared, you’ll miss it!
You can’t ride to the party. There’s an escort service that’ll come to WHEREVER you are to pick you up. The only way to get to the party is to catch a ride with J.C. You’ve never seen a carpool like this before!
The dress code for the party is all white. You have to be wearing a white robe or a white gown. No make-up, jewelry, perms, relaxers, weave, contacts, fake nails, silicone injects, or other body additions will be allowed inside the party, but you don’t have to take them off until you get in the ride of the carpool. AND YOU MUST KNOW THE PASSWORD.
You don’t have to bring any food or drinks. The only music you have to bring is your voice.
Like I said earlier. EVERYONE’S INVITED! Every race, creed, nationality, socio-economic status, and gender. The ONLY discrimination at this party is against different religions. Don’t get me wrong, J.C. and His Dad love EVERYONE, but there are a few requirements in order to get to come.
Here’s your invitation. It’s up to you whether or not you want to follow the rules or not.
I’m sure some of you have seen MTV’s Super Sweet Sixteen where the fifteen-year old girls have some friends help them pass out invitations. The girls decide early on who they want to come. They usually exclude freshmen and people who are mean to them. And at the door the night of the party, they exclude people who don’t have the invitation with them. The invitation is usually very creative-looking like a fancy key, a key-chain, or a dog chain. And if you come to the door without the cool-looking invitation, you can’t get in! Or if you’re not dressed according the dress-code, you can’t get in!
Well, that’s kind of how the party is like. You can’t get in on your own rules. You can’t say, “Well, I don’t care WHAT J.C.’s Dad says, I’m not going to bring my invitation. I refuse to wear white, and I’m not going to sing either! But I AM getting into that party whether they try to kick me out or not.”
Well, I forgot to tell you that security will be strictly enforced. They have hired guards from Angel’s Security Service. They will be there in full effect. NO ONE’S getting in without meeting the requirements.
So here’s the password to get in. First, J.C. will want to know did you ever bother trying to meet him at the gathering places or by reading His best-selling book. And He’ll want to know if you recited a certain paragraph that they say a lot at the meeting places and in His best-selling book. For those of you who don’t know it, it goes something like this.
Dear Lord. I admit that I am a sinner. I have sinned against you. I am sorry, Lord. Please forgive me. I repent of my sins. I accept you as Lord and Savior of my life. Come into my heart. Wash away my sins. I believe what the Bible says about you. I believe that you are the Son of God. I believe that you were crucified on the cross to die for my sins. I believe that you were buried in a tomb, and that you rose three days later. Please come into my heart and help me to live according to your will.
My friend, if you’ve said this paragraph with sincerity, you are coming to the party! YAY! WHOO-HOO! YIPPEE!
But keep this in mind. If you turn back away into your sins, you can be given over to a reprobate mind. That means if you continue to sin when you know it’s wrong after you have accepted Jesus, then God will sometimes give you over to a reprobate mind where you won’t even have the mind or desire to repent and live right.
Romans 1:28
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Definitions of reprobate:
- noun: a person without moral scruples
- verb: reject (documents) as invalid
- verb: abandon to eternal damnation
Example: "God reprobated the unrepenting sinner"
So here are the people who will be turned away from coming the party unless they repent and get some act right. So that I will not appear judgmental, I will quote exactly from J.C.'s best-selling book called The Holy Bible. He has many versions/translations. I have only used the King James Version and the New International Version.
Revelation 21:7-8
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Romans1:26:32
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
1 John 3:14-15
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God ? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God . And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Revelation 22:14-15
"Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
Now, for those of you who already knew about the rules and who follow the rules, I will warn you that people who know the rules but yet don’t like and don’t plan on following the rules will say that J.C.’s Dad is unloving because He won’t let them come as they are. They will say things like, “I thought you said He was loving? Why would a loving Dad not let us come to His party. Didn’t He say we’re all invited?
And you just tell them, “How would you feel if you had a party, and the people you were so kind to invite when you really did not have to, told you that they weren’t going to do a thing you said. They called you names, disobeyed you, blasphemed you, sinned against you, and then have the audacity to say, “You, meanie! You don’t love me!” Wouldn’t you not let them in unless the apologized? If you told all your friends you were having an All-White affair where everyone had to wear white to get in, wouldn’t you have to turn them away for knowing the dress code, and yet they deliberately decided they wanted to wear neon green? Wouldn’t you turn them away if you said, “If I hear you talking about me behind my back, you can’t come.” And then you heard them talk about you like a dog behind your back?” Even certain fancy restaurants and clubs will not let you in even if you had a reservation if you are dressed inappropriately. Some schools won’t let the kids come in without a uniform. Some courts and federal buildings won’t let you bring cell phones and other things inside. But yet when J.C.’s Dad wants to throw a party, people call Him mean for having a password and a “dress code” to get in. He’s not mean, you’re just being silly for not following the rules. If you really want to go, follow the rules. None of the rules are impossible to do.
1 John 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Definitions of grievous:
adjective: causing or marked by grief or anguish
adjective: of great gravity or crucial import; requiring serious thought
adjective: causing fear or anxiety by threatening great harm
adjective: shockingly brutal or cruel
You see, I can consider mean as throwing a party and only inviting a few of your friends. Mean is throwing a party and inviting none of your friends. That’s mean. But mean is not inviting the ENTIRE WORLD to your party regardless of how cruelly they’ve treated you as long as they say a paragraph and mean it. Mean is not giving all the invitees a million chances to say the paragraph and to repent and to live right.
Now, if I had a birthday, I wouldn’t invite any of you. I’d invite about 30 people that I know, and we’d be cool. If I was a jerk, I’d invite no one. You see, NO ONE has to be invited. J.C.’s Dad is just so loving, merciful, and gracious that He offers you an invitation to spend an eternity with Him in paradise. Whatever you imagine as being an amazing, awesome, wonderful paradise, will result in your being a happy failure because no one can imagine how wonderful it will be. So He’s nice enough to invite you all, but then some people tell Him, “I’m coming alright, but on my own terms. If you don’t like it, you might as well get over it. I know I was born this way. I know I’m a good person inside even though I might not live right. I’m not as bad as Junebug and Billy Joe. I never murdered anybody. So I’m coming to your party just as I am. Didn’t you say come just as I am?”
When the Bible says to come just as you are, it means come just as you are to meet Christ on this earth. It didn’t mean you could come just as you are to heaven. This is not something you want to doubt me on, and it’s not something you want to gamble with. In some people’s eyes, they have a 50% chance of going to heaven and a 50% chance of going to hell. Well, I’m offering you a 100% chance to come to heaven and a 0% chance of going to hell. All you have to do is recite the paragraph with sincerity and a desire to change. Also, it's a good idea to read His best-selling book in order to live according to His will. Don’t think you can by-pass getting to know the Author, YOU HAVE TO GET TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST FIRST. And then you live according to His way. You can’t get to heaven just following the laws without knowing Him. You need to know Jesus, and He will help you live right. Without Jesus, living according to the laws is hard, depressing, and in vain (in vain because you still won’t get to heaven). But Jesus will give you grace and His Holy Spirit that will help you WANT to live by the laws. I’m not talking about all those many, many laws in Old Testament, but by the ones Jesus talked about in the New Testament.
Matthew 22:36-40
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
See, I told you it wasn’t so hard! If you love God a lot, you won’t do anything to hurt Him. And if you love your neighbor a lot, you won’t lie to or on him, you won’t steal from him, you won’t covet his belongings, you won’t kill him, and you won’t sleep with them outside of marriage. Those two laws fulfill the whole law!
But if you DON’T come to party, you only get one more chance to come and then it’s over. And don’t think you’ll be chilling at the house until you die. There will be A LOT of craziness going on. No offense, but imagine a world with absolutely NO TRUE CHRISTIANS! Of course, there will be fake Christians who pretended to be saved for a long time, but in their hearts, they did not follow the two greatest commandments. They will all be exposed. But the good news is that they will at least know what’s going on so that they can offer the invitation again to more people who have never read the Bible. The bad news is that only 144,000 will be invited after the first carpool goes up. Those 144,000 are sometimes called the Tribulation Saints because they got saved during the Tribulation period. So if you don’t join with the first group, you’ll have to make sure to be one of those 144,000, and that will not be easy in a world with no true Christians and full of evil and deceit. I assure you ONLY 144,000 will get to come. Not to mention the “babysitter” that you’ll be left with. His name is the Anti-Christ. He’ll seem nice at first, but after awhile, He’s going to be more evil than you could have ever imagined. He’ll make it hard for anyone who wants to live right. He’ll even kill many Christians because they won’t worship and obey him. But the second those Tribulation Saints die, they get to join the party! I hope no one tries to commit suicide so that they can be one of the 144,000 because that’s not a promise.
Revelation 14:1
Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion , and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.
So there’s the invite. A four page invite. But even though it sounds all fun and games, it’s very serious. As I mentioned earlier, no man knows the day or the hour the party will be. So you need to live every day and every hour as if He’s coming to pick us up. Christians usually refer to this pick-up time as the Rapture. It’s not called that in the best-selling book, but that’s what we call it. I haven’t even mentioned the fact that you may not even live until the day and hour of Rapture. You could die right after reading this post. So stop flirting with sin and death. Stop flirting with the occult. Stop flirting with things God said to leave alone. He’s trying to warn you.
Matthew 24:36-37
"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
Hurry up and get ready! He’s coming soon.
Revelation 22: 20
He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon."
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

Your posts are such a blessing. :)
Great post! I'll be there with my singing voice and my dancing shoes on!
:)
Great...I'll be there....It does prove the adage...it IS who you know that counts!
@xThexGodfatherx - It definitely is who you know! And you can't say, "Oh, it's okay, J.C. She's with me." If that person don't know Jesus, they will not get through the door!
Fun and uplifting post. It gets the message out there with a much lighter tone.
Being raised Pentecostal, I am very tired of the hell fire and damnation messages.
The message of intervening love is far more appealing, and more accurate.
He provides a way of salvation because He loves us.
Blessings,
@LiberatedThroughSubmission - thanks! I'm glad you read and appreciated. i too was raised (and still am) pentecostal, but I focus more on drawing them in with love than scaring them out with hell
