GILTON FAMILY REUNION 2008
BY BRADLEY GILTON
YOU ARE THE PEOPLE I LOVE
ON AUGUST THE 24TH,2007 THE LORD GAVE ME THIS MESSAGE. HE SAID TO TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE THE PEOPLE I LOVE. HE SAID TO TELL YOU WHO HE IS. AND, HE SAID THAT 2008 IS GOING TO BE A SPECIAL YEAR.
LET ME TELL YOU, GOD IS THE KING OF KINGS. HE IS THE LORD OF LORDS. HE IS THE GREAT I AM, HE IS THE EVERLASTING FATHER. HE IS OUR CREATOR. HE IS THE GIVER OF LIFE. HE CREATED ALL OF THE UNIVERSE. HE CREATED EVERYTHING THERE IS. THERE IS NONE GREATER. HE HAS POWER OVER ALL. THERE IS NO CREATION THAT HE IS NOT ABOVE. HE IS OVER THE ENTIRE SPIRIT WORLD (SATAN). HE IS OVER ALL THE KINGS AND KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD. OVER ALL OF NATURE AND ALL OF THE UNIVERSE. AND YET, HE HAS TIME 24/7 FOR YOU AND ME. GLORY AND HONOR TO HIS NAME.
IN THE BOOK OF NUMBERS, CHAPTER 14:21, WHILE SPEAKING TO MOSES, GOD SAID, “AS SURELY AS I LIVE, AND AS SURELY AS MY GLORY FILLS THE EARTH, -----“. AND AGAIN IN THE BOOK OF ISAIAH 6:3, THE SERAPHIM SANG, “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. THE WHOLE EARTH IS FILLED WITH HIS GLORY”.
GRANDMA GILTON LEFT US 12/12/72, GRANDPA GILTON LEFT US 3/3/73. I DID NOT HAVE CONTACT WITH GRANDMA JUST PRIOR TO HER DEATH, BUT, I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL IN TURLOCK JUST DAYS BEFORE GRANDPA DIED. WHILE I WAS THERE, I ASKED HIM, DO YOU HAVE EVERYTHING STRAIGHT BETWEEN YOU AND GOD. HE SAID YES, I DO. I HAD NO DOUBT ABOUT GRANDMA. YOU ALWAYS KNEW WHERE HER HEART WAS. BUT, THE CONVERSATION I HAD WITH GRANDPA GAVE ME GREAT COMFORT IN KNOWING WHERE HE IS TODAY. THIS IS WHY I BELIEVE GOD SAID TO ME THAT “YOU ARE THE PEOPLE I LOVE”. WE ALL HAVE THAT HERITAGE AND I BELIEVE THEY ARE THERE CHEERING US ON EVEN TODAY.
BEVERLY AND I HAD A FRIEND NAMED TOM. TOM AND HIS WIFE WERE THERE ON JANUARY 12TH 1964 WHEN BEVERLY AND I ACCEPTED JESUS. HE DID NOT MAKE THAT DECISION THAT DAY. IN EARLY 2008, TOM DISCOVERED HE HAD CANCER. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, HE ACCEPTED JESUS. HE TOLD ME ONE DAY THAT HE IS SORRY HE HAD TO GET CANCER FOR GOD TO GET HIS ATTENTION. MY NEIGHBOR BRIAN TOLD ME LAST WEEK ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCE. HIS WIFE OF SEVEN YEARS LEFT WITH HIS BEST FRIEND. IT WAS DEVASTATING TO HIM. HIS BOSS TALKED TO HIM ABOUT JESUS AND HE ACCEPTED HIM. JUST RECENTLY, HELEN, NEIL’S WIFE WAS STRUCK WITH LUNG CANCER. SHE LASTED ABOUT SEVEN WEEKS. DURING THOSE SEVEN WEEKS, SHE CONFIRMED HER FAITH IN JESUS. AND NOW, WE KNOW WHERE SHE IS TODAY.
WHAT ABOUT YOU, HAVE YOU RECEIVED JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE? IF NOT, IS GOD GOING TO HAVE TO USE SOME DISASTER OR DEVASTATING THING TO GET YOUR ATTENTION? YOU CAN ACCEPT JESUS TODAY. IN JOHN CHAPTER 3:14, AND, AS MOSES LIFTED UP THE BRONZE SNAKE ON A POLE IN THE WILDERNESS, SO I (JESUS) THE SON OF MAN, MUST BE LIFTED UP ON A POLE, SO THAT EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN ME WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. JUST BY LOOKING ON THE CRUCIFIED JESUS AND ACCEPTING HIM AS YOUR SACRIFICE, YOU ARE BORN AGAIN. THESE WORDS, AND THIS ACTION HAVE ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES.
