What if you are trapped in a burning house?

 Jeremiah 35:15 "I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me." 

     Do you think God is saying that to this country (America) and to the Nations?

     2 Chronicles 20:20 "And they rose early in the morning and went forth into the wilderness of Te-ko-a and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established (kept safe); believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper (succeed)."

     When someone is encouraging you concerning living for Jesus and are sharing with you the gospel of Jesus Christ it would be wise to listen and do what they are telling you to do. As Jehoshaphat said, "Believe in the Lord your God so shall ye be established (kept safe) and believe his prophets so shall ye prosper." Get rid of that judgmental, critical spirit that causes you to refuse to listen to who God sends you. If they are leading you "to" a relationship with Jesus then they are for real. Maybe not perfect, we none are, but real. 

     I titled this, "What if you are trapped in a burning house? I ask this question because if you were trapped in your house and there is a raging fire and a fireman came to get you out, you would not say, "I don't need your help! I don't know you!" Or you wouldn't ignore him or her and say, "You are not perfect, I am not listening to you! Send me someone who is perfect! or Go away and leave me alone!" No! You would be a complete idiot if you did that! Seriously! 
     
     You know what is crazy? People are actually doing that every day, spiritually speaking. Their house is being totally destroyed by Satan because Jesus is not the head of their home! Their house is literally on-fire spiritually and not in a good way either, as if they are living in Hell already on earth! Are you one of those people? I hope not! If you have never invited Jesus to be the Lord of your life, you are trapped in a burning house and may not even realize it. You may get up every day and go to work and you may think you are a "good" person but if you haven't invited Jesus into your home his presence is not there and if God's presence is not there, what is? "Yourself and Satan" rules your home and that is not a good thing spiritually. It is serious! James 3:16 says, "For where envying and 'strife (selfishness) is, there is 'confusion (disorder) and every evil work." If you have not invited Jesus into your heart, your life and your home "self" is still on the throne of your heart where Jesus should be!
     

     God may have sent you many "firemen" in your day to deliver you but you have said, "Why should I listen to you? I don't know you so don't try to tell me what to do? Or you may have told someone who God has sent you to lead you into a relationship with him through Jesus and you have said, "Don't preach to me! You have criticized that one whom God has sent saying, "Don't ask me to go to church either! There are too many hypocrites there!" 
    

     If you are one of those who say those things to someone who God has sent you to keep you from a burning Hell for eternity, you need to be thankful for those spiritual "firemen" God sends you! You need to pray he gives you another chance! This is serious! If your physical (earthly) house was burning and you were trapped you would not say any of those things to whoever it was pulling you out of that fire! You need to be all the more thankful and less argumentative concerning who God is using to pull your soul out of Hell. Your soul is way more valuable than your earthly house! Don't you think?

     Also, what about when you go to the doctor, do you ask them or expect them to be "perfect"? Most of you do not even know your doctor and your doctor does not even know you on a personal basis! But yet you take every single thing they say as the "gospel truth"! Why is that? Now, don't get me wrong I have gone to doctors. I do believe God has given them the knowledge but I pray and believe Jesus is my Great Physician first as I go. I also get a second opinion too, because I realize they are not perfect. They are just as capable of being wrong as any of us. 

     In Conclusion, The next time (and I hope you pray there is a next time) God sends one of his prophets or messengers that care about your soul please listen to them! If they are truly leading you to repent of your sins and trust Jesus as your Lord and Savior, listen to them and believe! Don't worry about them being perfect or not perfect. And stop trying to figure out how "they" could be called by God thinking you are better than them. It's not about that! It is not up to you who God calls or not! You are not worthy to be judge, only Jesus is! It is God who ordains, not you! Be wise and listen and Believe and you will prosper!
