THIS JUST IN FROM ARELY VIA A TEXT MESSAGE LASTING EVENING:
“Thank you for returning us to God 🙏🏻 we are going through a somewhat complicated situation but meeting you today made us return to GOD THE FATHER. THANK YOU REALLY Luke 15” Arely
Last night, by the hand of God, I met Arely, her son, and another dear woman. After Arely received the ministry of the Word via the spoken Word in Spanish and a Jesus tract she also received a PDF copy of the books Authentic and Moments in Spanish via text. Then the other dear woman, after receiving a JESUS tract opened it and began reading it aloud as we all sat together! So that Arely, her 11 year old son, and all of us heard God’s Word read to us. She just read the Scriptures aloud. That young boy was moved and the seed of our LORD’s Word was planted in his heart and he received his own copy of the JESUS tract. (11 years old is when this disciple first heard the Gospel from an older boy) Oh and the reason Arely spoke of Luke 15 was that she was exhorted to go read it and see how beautiful is the restorative love of God! Clearly this was her way to sharing that she went home and sought the LORD, reading Luke 15. | STORE
No one is in a rush, no one here lives in a rush. Refreshing. People matter to everyone here in Mexico.
The latest: Check out the stories of lives being reached for Jesus in beautiful Mexico. Jesus died and rose again for these beloved people and nearly without exception, they desire to hear the Word of God. Oh how beautiful is humility!
When persecution hit Jerusalem, the saints of Christ were scatters. “Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.” (Acts 8:4)
Together we are going out into the world to reach many with the soul saving Gospel of Jesus.
“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? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10:14-15
Pablo, while at work, began to pour out his heart to me. He kept coming back and talking. What a dear man he is. When he found out I was from the USA, he broke down crying. There is deep grief in his life. He has spent ample time in the USA and so is bi-lingual. Please lift this man in prayer. He received a Jesus tract and had God’s Word ministered to him. He asked to exchange numbers and we did and he was sent the pdf versions of Authentic and Moments books in Spanish. Karen Cochran so very true! yes before he began pouring out his heart, all I had said to him to that point was “God bless you” in Spanish. Pablo’s heart was hurting and he was so desiring to have someone to talk to. He was instructed, encouraged to go home and read the Jesus tract and repent and put his faith in Christ and shown the prayer on the back. Thank you praying for him.
In the ministry and the lives of Jesus and His holy apostles, we see them going from town to town, preaching the Word. See the 4 Gospels and Acts, etc. It’s not that they didn’t go back to their previous locations to minister to the saints and yet, the fact remains that they were on the move – reaching “all the world” (Mark 16:15).
The people of Mexico are tech savvy and so inviting them to download the Reina Valera Bible (KJB equivalent) and passing, sending them the ministry the books we currently have in Spanish (Moments and Authentic), and Jesus tract is a simple transaction. They even ask for these things. And this makes things simple for them to share with others which they are expressly invited to do.
Presently we are having the What’s Next book translated into Spanish. This is vital, especially for all the new believers as it cover the basics, what’s most important for the saved, in growing in the grace of Christ, building a strong foundation, identifying with Christ (Colossians 2:6-10; 2 Peter 3:18, etc.).
Knowing the power of our God in the name of Jesus I told beloved Joe that many Christians in America are going to be lifting him in prayer….. he rejoiced. Please do! Joe is from Atlanta and has been living here with his lovely wife and children. He was completely receptive to the Gospel of our LORD Jesus and said his mother has been lifting him in prayer and ministering to him for years. No words could describe the ministry time that transpired with this man. He gladly received a JESUS tract, was shown the website address on the back and we exchanged numbers. The devil is on the run! Jesus is KING. Please pray for this beloved man for whom Jesus died and rose again. -And know that YOU, yes you, as a saved, born again saint, are doing the most vital part of this whole story …. as far as men go! We are seeing God answer prayers immediately. Sorry saints but I can’t even keep up and for every person featured there are several more…. Jesus is coming. Jesus and Joe – let’s go saints!
Meeting so many from America and all over the world here. Ran out of tracts and breath tonight ministering!!!!
Boom Jesus Reigns forevermore! Rev 1:8 anyone! | Mission Mexico
Beloved Johan was ministered to extensively this week. For now he is sleeping on a bench it seems. The Gospel was preached to him, he was given a Spanish Reina Valera Bible, and a Jesus tract in Spanish. He also received a hot meal. To say this man was a delight to help would be an understatement. As you will see here he opened that Bible and began reading it aloud, all of his own accord. Video below.
Oh and the special people at the restaurant where Johan was, were very special, received the Jesus tract also, and were glad to be able to feed Johan, all because you gave. After leaving Johan it was yet another rapid fire type barrage of quality ministry to many, one person after the next. Only God!
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21
That was the last Spanish Bible I had. It’s Johan’s now!
If anyone wishes to help the ministry buy more of these and full Bibles, please feel free. We’re running low on the Jesus tracts here also and always in need of cash to feed and help the poor. Oh and the What’s Next book, to lay a sound biblical foundation in the lives of those being saved, is as we speak being translated into Spanish. See it here on the Store page.
The Gospel is being preached outright – nothing held back. The blood, the cross, the resurrection, repentance and faith, the crucified life, etc.! Lives are being changed. We are only able to feature a small portion of those being reached. God is good. Let’s roll saints. Jesus is coming. | Support

As you can see, Guillermo joyfully received the Word of our LORD spoken to him in Spanish. He was instructed to go home and repent and receive Jesus for the forgiveness of all his sins and to walk with Christ daily to the end of his life. Want to lift this man in prayer? God is able!
*No, none of these people receiving God’s love are ever asked to smile. That’s their own disposition.
Maresto received a delicious hot meal,
a cold bottled water,
and the love of Jesus shown to him
in the ministry of the Word etc.
YOUR PRAYER
… for God to use you mightily in this final hour…. Holy Father, I come to You afresh in the name of my LORD Jesus Christ, asking You to strip and cleanse every trace of deceit, pride, self- righteousness, and evil from my heart and life. Please make me Your ambassador, a vessel of honor, purified, Your cleansed vessel for Your eternal glory. Make me to be a consummate soul winner who also faithfully feeds Your flock, to nourish and see You cause them to grow in the knowledge and grace of Christ – to be rooted and grounded in Jesus! In Jesus’ name. Sobeit!

The beautiful faces of those our LORD came to die for …..
Today, was blessed to speak at length about Christ and His kingdom with a dear woman named Miss Soni. With each of the people posted on this page, they are informed that many Christian people in the United States are going to be lifting them in prayer. It’s clear that they receive this as a love gesture from the LORD, that’s for sure!
Soni is asking for prayer for wholeness. She is going through difficult times. She received ministry at length and it was obvious that she is crying out for answer, for someone to talk to. She received the spoken Word and a Jesus tract and was very encouraged to know that many Christians, members of the body of Christ, in the USA, will be lifting her in prayer.
Recently, a man named Juan Carlos (yes that’s his name;)…. was shown how to download the Reina Valera Spanish Bible on his phone. He was overjoyed to be introduced to this. Then He received the ministry of the spoken Word and a Jesus tract and was exhorted to go home and pray the prayer on the back in repentance and faith, surrendering his life to Christ. He readily received. Thank you for praying for Juan Carlos.
This morning, our friend Fernando received the love of God in the form of food, hot coffee, a jacket (it’s very cool here now), and a new pair of pants. Yes he does work and yet is getting “back on his feet” at the moment. You will recall that we’ve been ministering to this man for a few weeks now – the spoken Word, the Jesus tract in Spanish etc. Would you like to pray for a miracle in Fernando’s life?
Your love gifts make all of this possible.
FREEDOM IS COMFORT. Read that again. So is being able to afford ones cost of living much easier, right? Here’s one of the best things about Mexico, the people – “Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly (poor), than to divide the spoil with the proud (rich).“ Proverbs 16:19 …. where I live in Mexico everyone treats everyone else well, they help each other, they value everyone. Mexicans help Mexicans. Family is of the utmost importance – therefore this nation has a future. God will not bless any nation who does not hold to HIS stated nuclear family unity – Husband, wife, children (Ps 11:3; 68:6; Gen 1:27-28).
MANY is the western world talk about “getting ahead” because they are empty and miserable, dissatisfied. In Mexico and most of the world, people just do their work for the day and count it a blessing with no thought of “getting ahead” but rather which just being thankful they had the blessing of working and making a day’s wage. They do not fret or worry about tomorrow…..
WHEN you support the mission of Christ being executed via safeguardyoursoul, we are a team for Jesus. Be sure you are not supporting us buying garbage “food” from a fast (poisoned) food chain. No, we buy them REAL food, locally sourced, healthy for them as we minister to their immediate needs. This helps a family by buying from their business. Most essential, each person ministered to gets a copy of the JESUS tract and a loving communication of the Gospel of Christ in their own language. Let’s roll saints.
“Love this! You are not only feeding their souls with the pure nourishing words of the Lord, you are also feeding their physical bodies with the pure nourishment of real food. Team Jesus!” Karen Cochran
Oh, and the people whom the food is purchased from are ministered to and super receptive…. and also appreciative that they were allowed to be involved in helping the hungry. In Mexico, everyone helps everyone. Amazing.
WHEN Jesus is truly “FIRST LOVE” in our lives, we are about HIS Great Commission business, HIS cause (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-28; Acts, etc). WHEN you truly follow Jesus, you are about HIS “business” as the absolutely top priority! (Luke 2:49)
It’s a real blessing to be around a whole people who care for and help each other, who value family and human life immensely. No death culture here.
“We celebrate together what God is doing! I feel so much joy when you share what God is doing in Mexico and when you share the pictures of the precious people of Mexico! We are celebrating Jesus! Just as the Apostles did! It is an encouragement to my heart! Team Jesus!” Karen Cochran
Luis was ministered to in several ways and most importantly he readily received the Word of God plentifully spoken to him. With your gifts, our LORD also blessed Luis with a warm family made meal from a dear lady who cooks daily for those in her vicinity. As with all, when Luis was given a Jesus tract he was showed the prayer to pray in repentance and faith on the back (Acts 20:21).
Juan was as amazingly kind to speak with as one can see on his countenance. Just look at that face, that smile, that noble disposition. Need I say more? He graciously received a Jesus tract, some dinero, and the ministry of the spoken Word of our God in Spanish. Boom.
Amazing. Compliments of Christ’s body, moving with His “compassion” on those without Jesus as their Shepherd (Matthew 9:35-38). Ministry Updates
Fernando was ministered to extensively. He’s pretty much bi lingual. He graciously, readily received the JESUS tract and was blessed with some dinero thanks to you. Jesus is touching lives!
Your prayers and support make this possible. Jerry heard the Gospel of Jesus in Spanish, joyfully received a JESUS tract in Spanish, and was very receptive, chimed in, loves the truth, is hungry, was instructed to go home and pray the prayer on the back of the JESUS tract in repentance and faith and to be saved….. this many is on his way at least.
Alejandro received, for the second time, a listening ear, and the love of God in the form of the ministry, a Jesus tract, a hot cup of coffee, and some dinero (no as in Robert haha). Since this was our second meeting and in the first one he received ministry, Alejandra started off immediately talking about God and a local fellowship he was talking about.

The Sure Mercies of David [podcast]
What exactly does the Bible mean by the phrase “the sure mercies of David”?
The divine guarantee in Christ is that God’s mercies are upon your life, is available to you – as His divine mercies were upon the beloved David, from whose lineage came the promised Messiah. This grants no license for sin, which leads to judgment – now and forever (Romans 11:20-22; Hebrews 10:26-39; 2 Peter 2:20-21). God’s mercy in no way negates the biblical truth that we must all reap what we sow (Galatians 6:7-8).
Biblical examples of Sinful People God Forgave:
- Adam and Eve (Genesis 3).
- David (2 Samuel 11-12; Psalms 51).
- The prodigal son (Luke 15).
- One of the two men who stood before the LORD to pray (Luke 18:9-14).
- Peter (Matthew 26:26-69, Luke 22:31-32; John 21:15-17).
- Thief on the cross (Luke 23:42-43).
- Woman taken in adultery (John 8).
- The fornicator in Corinth (1 Corinthians 5; 2 Corinthians 2).
According to Ezekiel 16:8-13 and many other Bible passages, God takes care of His beloved people.
Just as was the case with our earthly parents, so God took care of us, of you, when you couldn’t take care of yourself, He, your loving heavenly Father was there, tenderly taking care of you.
“Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine. 9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil. 10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers’ skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk. 11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. 12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. 13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.” Ezekiel 16:8-13
The LORD saved Paul as an example to us – to every vile sinner to be born thereafter.
“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Timothy 1:15-17
“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14
IF God forgave David and told you that in Christ you have “the sure mercies of David,” why wouldn’t He freely forgive you? (Isaiah 55:3-4; Acts 13:34) If God forgave the fornicator of 1 Corinthians 5 in 2 Corinthians 2, WHY wouldn’t He freely forgive your sins? Return to Him, confess all sin, forget the past, and “press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13-14).
The “sure mercies of David” are exclusively reserved for those who are in Christ!
“Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.” Romans 8:33-34
What is meant by the phrase we read in God’s Word “the sure mercies of David”?
“Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. 4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.” Isaiah 55:3-4
“55:2-5 In its alienation from God, Israel has been wasting its energy and resources. True satisfaction and lasting pleasure are found only in the Lord. If Israel returns to the Lord, they will receive all the sure mercies promised to David in the everlasting covenant (see Psa_89:3-4, Psa_89:28-29). These blessings are fulfilled in the Lord Jesus and in His glorious reign. The Gentile nations, too, will share in the benefits of the kingdom, and there will be amicable relations between Israel and the nations.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
“the sure mercies of David” … yes those words definitely are so beautiful….. when we realize how wicked we are, we will find no stone to cast at any other. Instead we will send out the life saving message of “the sure mercies of David” which are in Christ.
UNTIL, as an individual, you begin to realize just how wicked you really are, you will never begin to appreciate what our KING and Savior did on that cross!
Read this verse carefully:
“For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.” James 2:13
Recently, someone asked me what is meant by “mercy rejoiceth against judgment”? Reply: God’s mercy is greater than the judgment of sin…… His mercy is powerfully forgiving. The LORD would clearly rather bestow His mercy upon sinners than His judgment.
“But God commendeth (exhibited) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9
All men have sinned against our Maker and yet the LORD is so very good that He “gave his only begotten Son” to be sacrificed for “the sins of the whole world” so that none “should perish” (John 3:16-17; 1 John 2:1-2; 2 Peter 3:9).
I love this verse which puts it all in perspective…. “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:32).
Stay in the mirror – the Word. When we are not in the Word we forget just how wicked WE are, how in desperate need WE are of God’s mercy, and that’s when we judge others when we should be extending that bless-ed divine mercy upon them.
“For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass (mirror): 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty (Gospel), and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” James 1:23-25
God freely forgives His people on the basis of Christ’s perfect sacrifice…. and requires that we forgive all others as He freely forgives unworthy sinners like us on behalf of the perfect sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. We are unworthy in and of ourselves. Jesus’ righteousness alone provides for our salvation, the justification of God.
If God were not a forgiving God who restores the backslidden, NOT EVEN ONE of us would still be alive and headed for eternal glory.
It takes no less than to read Jesus’ 3 parables which make up Luke 15 to witness this glorious truth concerning His great mercy! Read it afresh with the restorational love of our God in mind!
Well, most of us would admit that we are not sinless… and sin is sin…. because God is holy….. and so we should have no stone of condemnation to cast at anyone except ourselves for any sin we committed in the past 😉
“Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:” Luke 6:37
Does God forgive all sins? Yes, all except one…
“Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.” Matthew 12:31-32
Well Judas committed perhaps the worst sin in history by betraying Christ and yet Jesus offered him mercy but he refused it.
Note that even in the midst of Judas betraying the innocent Son of God, Jesus called Judas, the traitor “friend.” This would clearly convey that Christ had his forgiveness in mind, had the desire to restore him.
“And Jesus said unto him, FRIEND, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.” Matthew 26:50
Of this verse where even while betraying the LORD Jesus, He refers to Judas as His “friend” or companion, Adam Clarke writes:
“Jesus said – Friend – Rather, companion, wherefore, rather, against whom art thou come? How must these words have cut his very soul, if he had any sensibility left! Surely, thou, who hast so long been my companion, art not come against me, thy Lord, Teacher and Friend! What is the human heart not capable of, when abandoned by God, and influenced by Satan and the love of money!”
God’s Word informs us that the LORD will love us all the way into hell if we choose to refuse to turn back to Him. Nothing “shall be able to separate us from the love (not life) of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39.) We see such unconditional love extended from the Savior upon the very man who was previously His close companion, one hand picked by the LORD Jesus and promised an eternal throne (Matthew 19:28). All men are given free will – till they die (Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:15, etc.). Instead of turning back to the Lamb of Glory before it was too late, Judas chose to kiss the Gate of Heaven and turn and plunge headlong into eternal hell (Acts 1:25).
God’s love is unconditional but His acceptance is not. | The Truth about Judas
“I would have been eternally lost if not for Jesus’ parable in Luke 15…O, may the prodigal, lost in this world, hear the good news, turn, and repent before its too late. O the tender mercies of God!” Jon Crane
As we see illustrated in Luke 15, RE-TURNING, turning back to God (repentance) is always the answer (Hosea 14:1-2). Denying such a need simply prolongs the separation and the misery of being in sin (Isaiah 59:2; Romans 6:23). Just ask the prodigal son in Luke 15. Take a fresh look at the before and after on his life! Our loving heavenly Father, His mercy and desire to restore the fallen is so beautifully depicted in the three parables which makes up Luke 15.
Take a look at what our glorious LORD and Savior is depicting, is showing each of us in His parables of the lost sheep, silver, and son.
Mankind is already fallen, condemned, and separated from Him in sin. Never forget beloved that Jesus came to save and not to destroy! That’s His stated desire and will (Psalms 86:5, 15; Luke 9:56; 19:10; John 3:17; 1 Timothy 1:15, etc.).
ALL sin is first and foremost committed against God, not man. God is the only law giver who determines what sin is (James 4:11-12).
ANY sin one would commit is first and foremost against our Maker, God Himself.
“Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.” Psalms 51:4
God is the only One who is “Holy, holy, holy” (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8).
David is forever a trophy of God, set forth with the characteristic of the Messiah….. and yet, like all men, he fell, and was shown mercy….. in this we take heart and are forged with confidence by this example that if God forgave David, He will surely forgive and show mercy upon my life…. the key is to have a heart after God, which causes us to be honest and repent and confess all sin (Ps. 51).
“And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.” Acts 13:34
The promise of “the sure mercies of David”
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.” Revelation 22:16
“The sure mercies of David” are secure to us in Christ because they are from our loving merciful God who forgive the beloved David.
God’s people are commanded to forgive others, to show them mercy toward, upon others as God has showed us His mercy in our sin.
“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:32

Following Christ’s Great Commission Command [podcast]
The future belongs exclusively to Jesus Christ and His followers. Read the book of Revelation!
“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62
Is your hand on “the plough” – that which God has called you to do in His kingdom work? Have you looked back?
“Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.” Colossians 4:17
Have you grown weary in well doing?
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9
Are you obeying God by forgetting, by putting behind you the past – good and bad? Declare aloud in prayer before the LORD today: “forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13-14)
“Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” Ephesians 5:16
GOD WILL REWARD ACCORDINGLY
“And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.” John 4:36
ALL WHO PARTICIPATE IN GOD’S WORK WILL BE EQUALLY REWARDED!!!
DO YOUR MISSION. Colossians 4:17
Think about this…..
Every laborer of Christ, no matter what small part he plays in God’s work, will be equally rewarded.
“For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.” 1 Samuel 30:24
Are we praying this specific prayer?
Whatever you do, never cease to preach Christ’s original Gospel!
The Harvest Is Plentiful, the Laborers Few
“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:35-38
Being kingdom minded means that your life is all about King Jesus and you are living a life of prayer, busy about the ¨Father´s business¨, waiting with baited breath to jump in and engage in and support the teaching, preaching, spreading, the communication of God´s Word – fulfilling the Great Commission Jesus gave us (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20).
Whose business are you about today – Christ´s or your own?
The answer to this question plainly reveals which kingdom you are in – Christ´s or Satan´s. The remnant body of Christ is all about the ¨Father´s business.¨ (Luke 2:49)

Chosen, Ordained, Joyfully Fruitful [podcast]
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” John 15:16
- “Ye have not chosen me”
- “I have chosen you”
- “and ordained you”
- “that ye should go and bring forth fruit”
- “and that your fruit should remain”
Of this truth, the Believer’s Bible Commentary notes the following:
“15:16 Lest there be any tendency for them to become discouraged and give up, Jesus reminded them that He was the One who chose them. This may mean that He chose them to eternal salvation, to discipleship, or to fruitfulness. He had appointed the disciples to the work which lay before them. We should go and bear fruit. Fruit may mean the graces of the Christian life, such as love, joy, peace, etc. Or it may mean souls won for the Lord Jesus Christ. There is a close link between the two. It is only as we are manifesting the first kind of fruit that we will ever be able to bring forth the second.
The expression “that your fruit should remain” leads us to think that fruit here means the salvation of souls. The Lord chose the disciples to go and bring forth lasting fruit. He was not interested in mere professions of faith in Himself, but in genuine cases of salvation. L. S. Chafer notes that in this chapter we have prayer effectual (v. 7), joy celestial (v. 11), and fruit perpetual (v. 16). “That whatever you ask … .” The secret of effective service is prayer. The disciples were sent forth with the guarantee that the Father would grant them whatever they asked in Christ’s name.”
Adam Clarke writes;
“The first ministers of the Gospel were the choice of Jesus Christ; no wonder, then, that they were so successful. Those whom men have since sent, without the appointment of God, have done no good. The choice should still continue with God, who, knowing the heart, knows best who is most proper for the Gospel ministry.
To be a genuine preacher of the Gospel, a man must –
1. Be chosen of God to the work.
2. He must be placed in the true vine – united to Christ by faith.
3. He must not think to lead an idle life, but labor.
4. He must not wait till work be brought to him, but he must go and seek it.
5. He must labor so as to bring forth fruit, i.e. to get souls converted to the Lord.
6. He must refer all his fruit to God, who gave him the power to labor, and blessed him in his work.
7. He must take care to water what he has planted, that his fruit may remain – that the souls whom he has gathered in be not scattered from the flock.
8. He must continue instant in prayer, that his labors may be accompanied with the presence and blessing of God – Whatsoever ye shall Ask.
9. He must consider Jesus Christ as the great Mediator between God and man, proclaim his salvation, and pray in his name. – Whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, etc. See Quesnel.”
God alone ordains His people to His work and brings them through many purging seasons to cause His fruitfulness in them, preparing them to bear more of His fruit. God chose us and blessed us with the ability to repent and receive Christ. As His people, He’s also ordained us to “go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain.”
As we read this discourse from our LORD (John 15 and 17), we discover that He is speaking of that abiding fellowship we have with Him, and how out of it is borne the good fruit of His ministry in and through our life.
Being rooted in that oneness, the abiding relationship with Christ, is all-important to our relationship with Him and the Father. As his student, His disciple, may the reader be encouraged to pour prayerfully over these truths captured, and given to us in John, chapters 15 and 17.
Isaiah 43
“But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. 5 Fear not: for I am with thee … “
Prayer: Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, please make me one with You. Please deeply root and establish my life in an abiding fellowship with You dear LORD.
