    20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. 20:2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 20:3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 20:4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 20:5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. 20:6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? 20:7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, [that] shall ye receive. 20:8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them [their] hire, beginning from the last unto the first. 20:9 And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 20:10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. 20:11 And when they had received [it], they murmured against the goodman of the house, 20:12 Saying, These last have wrought [but] one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. 20:13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? 20:14 Take [that] thine [is], and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. 20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. Matt 20 1-16

     

    hours are as follows. sunrise till 9:00am

    9:ooam till 12:00pm

    12:00 till 3:00pm

    3:00 till 7:00pm

    Imagine being able to clock in at 2:00 pm and work one hour and be paid the same as the ones who worked all day.

     

    God will give his salvation that way.

     

    The harvest is getting ready to start!

     

    I was reading this parable last night and the Holy Spirit spoke and said that we are in the eleventh hour.

     

    Whether you accepted Christ 80 years ago or just now, and then he comes back you are guaranteed salvation.

     

    People who accepted years ago usually don't accept the new way of worship and the youth don't want to worship the older ways.

     

    As long as it is worship to Jesus Christ it is worship.

     

    Don't wait till the harvest comes[ the rapture]

     

    because you will miss it.

     

    The only thing left after the harvest Will be the tares and the weeds and we know what happens to them.

     

    Time is counting down it is time to come to the Cross and accept what Jesus did and not be left behind.
