In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand and wrote over against on the candle
stick. Upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and they saw the part of the hand that
wrote. Then the king's countenance was changed, and his through trouble him..." Coaniet 5.5,6.
He had never given much thought to him responcibilty toward God and man: He probably did
not even beleive in the supernatural or in judgement after death. He had always tried to make
himself happy for he never bothered about what lies beyond the grave.
On this day he was marry as he " drank wine before the thousand". Then suddenly he saw a
vision television on the wall of his place! "MENE, MENE, TEKOL,UPHARSIN" "Thou art
weighed in the balances and art found wanting" (Daniel 5:27). He was troubled? "The Lord is a God of knowledge, and by Hino actions are weighed" (I samuel 2:3).
Mr.J. was a fine generous zealous, good man that everybody loved and felt sure of his good
standing in the church. One day he had a choan. An unknown man enters his room carrying a balance, acids and some instruments. Coming close to him, he said, " How is your service to God? " This question pleased Mr.J. much because he considered that his fervent devotion in the service of the Lord would highly recommend him to God and highly favour him in God's sight while the man waited.
J. realized that all his work, zeal and devotion seemed (in the dream) to turn into physical matter. Putting his hand in his breast he found he could take it out. He then handled it over to the unknown visitor. "An hundred kilogram's said the man after weighing it carefuly. Then
he broke it into pieces and he put it in a pot and put a flame to the pit. When it and set. Several layers fell of the congealed solid one after another as the man tapped it with a hammer.
Each layer was tested and weighed and the results recorded. When the man completed his work, he gave the paper with the notations to J, and with a sad look of pity he went away.

What will your look like if analysed?
"Weighed and found wanting"! All men outside of christ are motivated by SELF. Whatever they
do. All works done outside christ are not done according to God's will, so they are as fithy
rays" Will "fithy rays" recommend you to God? Can fithy rays" be accepted as substitute for the
"rob of righteousness", " the garment of salvation" the fine lines, clean and white"?
Thou of your confidence in your "rags" and come to christ for cleaning and clothing.
Remove such rags as confidence in the error that you can be a christian from the day you were
born just because your parents are christians and you got decided ( or even baptised) on the
eight day. You do not become a christian a child of God that way. You need to repent and
be converted. That means you should ---------all inward and contered sins now such as --------
of ------ withness, stedling cruelty. fighting, pride gossip and so on.
Going to church, whatever your denomination, without a change of heart will not save you. If
you say you are christian and you still commit sin even if it is one lie in five years you'll still go to hell, be you pastor, prophet apostle, bishop or priest, unless you repent and turn to God.
Without a genuine conversion experience that removes sin from your life, you are lost whether or not you perform miracles that heal the sick, or raise the death who so ever is born of God those not commite sin for he kept him self and satan touch him not (1 john5:18).
Tell God you are now taking a round about turn a decision not to ever go back into these
sins you have confessed. Believe him that he is able to keep you from all sins and that
since you have now sincerly come to him he has accepted you as his child. Old things are passed
a way all things become new. Ask and accept pardon from God through Jesus christ. Ask and
receive grace to live in newness of life. DO IT NOW.
