What Did You Decide? Timely Decisions - The Watch Letter



Time does run out for us. Chief Apostle H.C. Gunn taught this on Dec. 10, 2023.


But the decisions we make can determine the time that is on the clock.


He mentioned how Judas decided that Jesus wasn’t moving at the speed he wanted him to move in their ministry work or that the ministry wasn’t doing as financially well as Judas thought it should.


For Judas, the growth of the ministry wasn’t about winning and healing souls but about the benefits he could reap for himself.


So, essentially, Judas tried to take matters into his own hands and started the clock on his own demise.


Judas had already decided by his greed and selfism that Jesus wasn’t enough and the eternal benefits of serving the Lord had no value in comparison to what he wanted. Although he still had time to change before time ran out for him, his mind was already made up.


As I was going over the notes from that December message, Chief Apostle Gunn warned that it is a critical time and we have to make decisions now about the condition of our souls. Although time is running out for us - tomorrow is not promised - we can reset that clock by giving God time on our face and making the choice to whole-heartedly submit to and serve him - not ourselves.


As I read the notes from December, I could see the words he preached in the form of questions. If we find the answer is yes to any of these questions: We have to act quickly to change our mind before it can no longer be changed.


-What if we have already decided it costs too much to be saved and be in the ministry?

-What if we have already decided that being decent is unaffordable?

-What if we have already decided that we love “it or them” more than God?

-What if we have already decided to leave the flock and no longer let the rod and staff of the shepherd reach us?

-What if we have already decided that we don’t want God?

-What if we already decided to stop believing and receiving what God said?


Fast forward to today March 10, 2024: The Lord brought back up the example of Judas in the message Chief Apostle Gunn taught at service.


He said: It’s a lie that it was pre-written that Judas had to betray Jesus. He had a choice. The devil would find anybody who would take the sop. He was looking for someone who was not satisfied and who was selfish and cared about the image of things.


But, he said, when you get to the place where you decide it’s all about you, the Lord will have to turn you over to your all-about-me-mind because that is your will.


But Judas' decision to make his life all about him and betray Jesus didn’t just happen all of a sudden. He had made up his mind a long time ago. He decided that Jesus’s ministry and following him was not worth more than silver even back in John 12: Mary took very costly oil and anointed the feet of Jesus. Judas said, “Why was this oil not sold and given to the poor?” He said this not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and took what was put in the money box. Jesus said, “Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of My burial …the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”
