The ice cream shop representing "sugar coated, watered down preaching." You know, when we talk about God's love but not His judgment... It's danger in preaching the half-gospel. God doesn't like lukewarm Christians. He wants to comfort us and also confront us! He wants us to love Him but also repent. He doesn't want us to only attend church on Sunday's but live like hell during the week. Jesus sacrificed His life so we must crucify our flesh, die and rise with Him in a new life. (Galatians 2:20, 2 Corinthians 5:17)
The guy with the gun couldn't touch me because God's hedge of protection covered me because I was a born again believer in Christ. This comforted me because I've been struggling bad with fear of Christian persecution (1 Timothy-2 Timothy). God is trying to strengthen my confidence so that I can be used by Him to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. I've prayed to be used by Him and He's answered my prayers. I got what I asked for and I must obey or people will continue to suffer from lack of knowledge. (Hosea 4:6)
The guy that came back to life represented Repentance. God's patience with us is slow in our eyes. Evil is only being tolerated for a little while longer because God's greatest desire is that we all repent as long as their breath in our bodies. The time is coming when it will be too late to rant to get right with God. Repent or perish. (Luke 13:3)
"For God so loved the world that He gave His One and Only begotten son, so that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
This means that we should repent and believe. They both are one in the same. We must do both. Not just confess. We must confess Jesus as Lord, ask for forgiveness & be changed. ❤️
