Brothers and sisters in Christ,
People need the Lord! All around us, and everywhere we go, there is the same urgent need! JESUS! If someone is breathing, they need Jesus! For there is a day that will come to everyone. The Word of God says, "And as it is appointed for men once to die, but after this the judgement." (Heb.9:27) Too many are trying to push this reality out of there minds. They want their ears tickled, and they want them tickled good. But, friend no matter how much we may try to put it off, every day, we are one day closer. Every step, we are one step closer. With every breath, we are one breath closer to this reality. The wisest may who ever lived, King Solomon wrote of the urgent reality. In the book of Proverbs, he wrote, "Hell and destruction are never full." (Prov.27:20) Again, he tells us that the grave is never satisfied, and the fire never says, "Enough!" (Prov.30:15-16) We are living in a day when people do not want to hear of death, and judgement, but it is coming!
Recently I spoke with an elderly woman. She said, "Why would I want to go to heaven? ...When I die I just want to go six feet under ground." And yet the reality still stands..."And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after death the judgement." You may question, "Why so urgent?" or "Why are you even talking about this?" Many people when asked the question, "If you died today, are you sure that you would be in heaven?", they tell me, "I try not to think about it". O Friends! The reality still stands! "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after death the judgement.
Recently, I received word that a man who used to come to church occasionally died suddenly of a heart attack. I remember the last time we spoke. He took his sin as a joke. I remember warning him with the Word of God. Jesus said, "Unless you repent, you will perish." (Lk.13:1-5) He shrugged it off, and ignored the reality. Remember what the apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonian church? "Those who perish" -perish- "Because they did not receive the love of the Truth, that they might be saved." (2.Thess.2:10) This reality is so very sobering! People need the Lord!
The Word of God says that God is..."not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance!" (2.Pet.3:9) "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!" (Rom.5:8) "The Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost." (Lk.19:10) & "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved! How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?" Paul goes on and says, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of Peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!" (Rom.10:9-15)
O Friend! As you carry the Good News, the Lord says, "You have beautiful feet!" The other day, Rachel and I were talking to a young man about Jesus. He said, "You guys are the third people to talk to me today about Jesus." I met a man yesterday, who told me that someone was talking to him about Jesus! Another man told me that some was just talking to him about His need of salvation! HALLELUJAH!!! Somebody has beautiful feet!!! God does not want anyone to go to hell! That is why Jesus died for our sin and rose from the grave! He made the way of salvation! JESUS is the ONLY WAY of salvation! He is sending out His laborers into the harvest field! We must redeem the time! We must go to the lost as dying men and women, reaching out to dying men and women! Jesus said, "I AM the resurrection and the life! He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live! and whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die! Do you believe this?" (John 1:25-26)
Jesus said, "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few! Therefore PRAY the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest!" (Lk.10:2) He says, "PRAY!" and then He says "GO!". May we answer the call and say, "Here am I, send me!" May the Lord bring in a great harvest of souls for the GLORY of the LAMB!!!
We are so thankful to the Lord for you all! We covet your prayers! Pray that the Lord would give us wisdom as we reach out to the lost. Pray that the Lord would open blind eyes, and turn hearts from darkness to light, from the power of satan to God. (Acts 26:16-18) Pray that Christ Jesus would be glorified in and through His church! Pray that as He is lifted up, hearts would be drawn to Him!
Please pray for me as on Monday, I will be heading down to Belize to join up with the outreach team at Bridge the Gap Ministries. I will be with them fom the 7th through the 15th. Pray! Pray! Pray! May the Lord Jesus be glorified! May the church be edified! May souls be saved! Pray that the Lord would lead us into the works He has prepared for us. (Eph.2:10)
DON'T MISS PRAYER MEETING!! Whatever night your church gathers for prayer, purpose in your heart to be there! Jesus said, "My house shall be called a house of prayer!" (Matt.21:12-16)
Thank you for standing in the GAP on your knees!
We love you, and thank the Lord for you!
Keep Burning & Shining 4 Jesus!
Till we see His face!
Jeff & Rachel Mohl + the Fam
