Brothers and sisters in Christ,
"Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue."~2.Pt.1:2-3. "For this reason we... pray!" May we -the church of our risen Lamb- "walk worthy of the Lord fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increase in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy! Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins!"~Col.1:9-14. Praise the Lord for the wonderful reality that we have been brought out of darkness into the marvelous light of Jesus Christ! May we never lose the wonder of it all!
What a wonder we have in the Word of God! Abide in Christ, and let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly! ~Col.3:16~ Read it! Pray it! Live it! May the Word of God so saturate our lives that our lives overflow with the Living Word of God! "The grass withers the flower fades, but the Word of God stands forever!"~Isa.40:8.
What a joy and honor to be able to take the Word of God to the streets! As we go out, we know that His word will not return void, but it will accomplish the pleasure of the Lord! ~Isa.55:11.
PRAISE THE LORD for the open doors for His word! Two weeks ago we met a young man named Keven on the street. He is searching for life, yet full of emptiness. He was tripping out because he had never heard people talking about Jesus and praising Him in the streets. We were able to share the word with him. Through the next week we have been praying for him. Last Friday we saw him again on the street. It seems like the Lord is drawing him. He wanted a Bible. He went away and came back high. He is bound in heroine. Yet, he is crying out. He got on his knees on the sidewalk and began to cry out to Jesus. He said, "Jesus I'm so messed up...I need you to help me!" Please pray for Keven that Jesus would truly set him free. Pray for New Birth!
PRAISE THE LORD for those who came to Christ on the street last week! One man at the bus stop was open to the word of God. I was able to share the word with him there. I was reading from Romans 10:9-13, "That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart, that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved!...Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!" Suddenly he bowed his head. I asked him, "Do you want to call on the Lord right now to save you?" He said, "That's what I'm doing!" Praise the LORD!! Pray for Louis to grow in God's grace!
Another man came over and began to speak. He said, the Lord delivered him from cigarettes, and had also miraculously saved his life from death. I asked him when he was born again? He said that he wasn't. Think about this...He has been delivered, his life was physically saved, he was even faithful in a "Bible teaching church", but he had never been born again. What good is it if your physical life is spared, but your soul is lost? Jesus said, "What does it profit, to gain the world and lose your soul?" ~Mark 8:36. His heart was open to the word. His heart was convicted of his sin, and he called on the Lord Jesus to save him! Praise the Lamb! Please pray for David to follow Christ and grow in grace!
PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS PROMISES! "Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ!" ~Phil.1:6.
