Brothers and sisters in Christ,
Aren't you glad that Jesus came to seek and save the lost? (Luke 19:10) Where would we be if not for His grace! "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see!" Hallelujah! Never lose the wonder of what the Lord has done in your life! "He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love!" (Col.1:13) Remember when Jesus healed the man who was born blind? He testified, "One thing I know,...I was blind, now I see!" (John 9:25) The demon possessed man was delivered by the Lord Jesus? "He begged Him (Jesus) that he might be with Him." Jesus said to him, "Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you!...and he departed and began to proclaim...all that Jesus had done for him!" Powerful! Over and over again in the word of God we see that those who have been touched by the Lord Jesus and saved by His grace, they cannot remain silent about what the Lord had done for them! May we not be silent either! Remember, "We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of the testimony!" (Rev.12:10)
TESTIMONY: Last week I had the joy to work with New York Gospel Outreach. What a joy to see the young people hit the subways, streets, and parks with the Good News of Jesus! One young man met a War Veteran. He was seeking to share the Gospel with him, and this man began to testify of how the Lord Jesus saved him! When I heard this, my heart was so encouraged, and reminded, we need to share what the Lord has done in our lives with others! This man who had been in the war told how the word of God saved his life! While in combat he was shot. The bullet went through the bullet proof vest, but did not kill him. It was stopped by the little Bible he had in his pocket. The bullet actually stopped right at John 3:16. The young man was a little skeptical, until the Veteran pulled out the little Bible. He saw the bullet hole. He opened it and turned through Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The bullet stopped right at the page of John 3:16! The Lord used this not only to save his life, but also his soul! "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life!" Hallelujah!
Recently we out on sharing Jesus on the street. We were preaching the Good News of Jesus and passing out Bibles and Gospel tracts. A woman walked by and I handed her a tract, and said "Jesus loves you!" She took a few steps, and stop in her tracks! She came back and said, "I love Jesus! I am a muslim, but every time I hear someone talking about Jesus, I feel drawn!" She had a little picture of Jesus hidden in her clothes. I shared with her how much Jesus loved her and how He died to pay for all our sin so we could be brought near to God, and be with Him forever!" She began to cry. It is so amazing to watch the Holy Spirit at work! "We are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit!" (Acts 5:32) The Lord opened her eyes! She put her faith in Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God and received Him as her Lord and Savior! HALLELUJAH!! Our God is mighty to save!
PRAY that the Lord would continue to give boldness to proclaim the Good News of Christ! Pray that the Lord would open eyes to the Truth! Pray that Jesus would save and set captives free! On Sunday, one of the sisters at Revolution Church shared how she met a woman right in Hunts Point who never new that Jesus even existed. PRAY for Awakening!!! How we need the Lord to give wisdom and revelation of the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ! (Eph.1:16-17) "Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving!" (Col.4:2-3)
PRAY FOR REVIVAL IN THE CHURCH! May the heart of the church burn with passion for our First Love ~ Jesus!! May our lamps be burning bright! (Luke12:35) "The Spirit and the Bride say Come!" May we call the thirsty to come to Jesus!! (Rev.22:17+20) "Even so come, Lord Jesus!"
Thank you for your prayers and support! Continue laboring with us fervently in prayer! (Col.4:12) May the Lord refresh and renew you day by day! His grace is sufficient for you! His power is manifest in weakness! (2.Cor.12:9)"Abide in Him, that when he appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming!" (1.John 2:28)
We love you!
Stay on Fire 4 Jesus!
