The Fear of the LORD is to Hate Evil: Pride, and Arrogancy #shorts [video]

People are lost.

People are searching.

People feel as if they have no one to turn to.

Searching souls want answers.

People need the LORD.

Will you be that light on a hill, shining the light of Christ’s love to lost souls seeking the refuge that only God can give?

“I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.” Psalms 142:4

Jesus came for souls.

What is your focus?

He died for all men.

That’s the whole reason He came at His Father’s beckoning. He was the only One qualified to “stand in the gap” between Holy God and fallen mankind (Ezekiel 22:30).

God cares for all those mean, sinful, hurting souls.

Do I care for them?

Do you care for them?

Many lost souls lie desperately pining away in their lost condition. They have no one to talk to about the God who made them and put that knowledge of Himself in their hearts, something they can’t get away from and that nags them day and night (Romans 1:19-20). They don’t know what to do or where to look for help. They try in vain to cover their dismal, empty condition with all kinds of sin and other pleasures of this fleeting life. They cry:

“No man cared for my soul.” Psalms 142:2

Will you care for their soul like Jesus did for yours and theirs? (Luke 19:10)

IF Jesus wasn’t our friend “while we were yet sinners,” we’d all still be doomed (Romans 5:6-8).

Jesus had time and all the wherewithal to come and die for our sins.

Will you have time to be used of Him?

Will you take time to reach those for whom He bled and rose again?

Will you set yourself aside so that they can know Him who is “the life”? (John 14:6)

Will you truly care for the souls of men? If so, read these following words with a sponge-like desire and attentiveness and God will light the way and use you beyond your most most far-reaching imagination.

Through the years I have been blessed to know many soul winners. One of the things that distinguishes them is the kindness in their hearts and lives. They love God and love others as Jesus commanded (Mathew 22:37-40). They abide in Christ. They dwell richly in His love. They have something from out of this world, something from God. They are decidedly not looking left or right. They are therefore “partakers of the divine nature” of God that draws men to Him (2 Peter 1:3-4).

The Secret Weapon of Kindness

“For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.” Luke 6:32

Jesus is saying or asking the rhetorical question: “What godly good have you done if you don’t reach out to those who hate God and you – sinners?”

Kindness is a weapon. It comes from that daily dying friends. When our lives are laid down, we are not seeking our own good or our own things (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12). No, we are seeking first the kingdom of God and all these other things of His kingdom are being added to our hearts and lives (Matthew 6:33). Kindness is one of those things.

“Let Your Light So Shine Before Men.” Matthew 5:16

There have been numerous people who in the natural would or did hate me due to their natural hatred. For example, many lesbian type women do not like me or any man for that matter. Yet, in so many cases, due to flooding them with authentic kindness and a warm smile, their hearts are melted and open. This happens all the time.

We have a distinct advantage because no one in the world (those outside of Christ) truly care for lost souls. So, when they see God’s love in us, they are drawn and many times delighted.

Taunting lost souls is not what Christ and His apostles or His early church did. They preached Jesus and the Gospel (Matthew 10:1-8; Acts 5:42, etc.). To those who do not receive the Gospel message, Jesus says for us to simply dust off our feet and move on and go spread His love to others. God never forces His blessed salvation upon anyone and we should have that firmly fixed in our thinking. At the same time, we must never deal arrogantly, take it personal, or possess a bad attitude. We must never defame Christ by misrepresenting Him who came to die – to do men good and not evil, to save and not destroy (Luke 9:56; John 3:17). Perhaps leaving a good taste in the mouths of those who at this time are rejecting the Good News, will later work (latently) to lead them to Jesus. This has happened over and over for centuries. Those who once mocked later repented and were saved. Some of us reading these very words did the same thing before Christ saved us. On the cross, speaking of His murderers, Jesus said “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34). Stephen, while being stoned to death, followed Jesus. He also prayed to the Father for those who were killing him. – “And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep” (Acts 7:59-60).

Mercy bridges the gap between divine holiness and human depravity/spiritual poverty. Did God not show abundant, sheer mercy upon you and me when He reached out and found us in our sins and saved us? Read Titus 3:2-7. Jesus bled to make intercession and rescue those precious souls (Isaiah 53). That’s exactly WHY He came (1 Timothy 1:15). Right? Taunting sinners of any flavor (Muslim, Mormon, gothic, Catholic, rank heathen, or otherwise) is not of God. IF you have a certain prejudice with people of a certain nationality, religion or otherwise, please get delivered of that. Prayerfully read the words of our Savior in Matthew 5:44-48 and employ them.

Yes, Elijah mocked the rebellious false prophets on Mt. Carmel but I don’t think that’s the same as unnecessarily taunting as we see some doing today (1 Kings 18). Those who taunt seem to have a hateful spirit like the immature disciples in the early days. See Luke 9:50-60. The disciples wanted to call down fire from heaven and Jesus rebuked them, right?
Well perhaps there is a “sanctified” mocking such as was the case when Elijah faced off the false prophets on Mt. Carmel. But, this obviously had divine warrant. To approach those outside the faith as if they are our enemies and with taunting, isn’t going to accomplish the will of God. Remember what James 1:20 says? If they don’t receive the truth, we simply shake off the dust and move on to tell others.
If you look at this ministry site, you will see a whole lot of very hard Word. Hopefully it’s done in the right spirit. Just saying. I am speaking here about unnecessary, unwarranted, hateful taunting such as is done by some hardened street preachers today who have taken the rejection they receive personally instead of wearing such as a badge of honor that’s going to merit them eternal rewards (if they don’t react wrongly to it). Matthew 5:10-12.
Truth must be declared in its undiluted nature but not using God’s Word to attack folks out of our own hateful disposition.
For the most part, this writing pertains to the way Christians approach the lost. The people we see being most severely rebuked in Scripture are usually the rebellious RELIGIOUS folks that are supposed to know better (Matthew 23).

Just WHAT is motivating some to taunt? Could it be self-righteousness in their own hearts?

“And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? 55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.” Luke 9:53-56

“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” John 3:17

Is the LORD not bringing souls who have known nothing but their Muslim religion to our doorstep to win to Him? It’s easier that way isn’t it? Well, just think – Just what if you had to go into their land …. It’s much better to have them here to win to Christ. Taunting or showing hatred surely won’t win them to the One who “is love” and is quite a contradictory message to send them. Is hatred what Jesus Christ is all about? God bless each of us to be granted from Him a heart of flesh, mercy, and grace multiplied (Ezekiel 36:26; Hebrews 13:9; 2 Peter 1:2; 3:18).

Have you prayerfully poured over 1 Corinthians 13 lately friend?

A Simple Smile Goes a Long Way

AS a reflection of the joy of the LORD in our hearts, born again believers should have the easiest time beaming out a loving smile!

I have personally led dozens of people to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ by simply showing them neighborly kindness which led to their curiosity of why I was different. All of God’s children are different – in a good way. We are the only people on His planet who have His fruit in our lives due to the work of the Holy Spirit in the Christian. There are nine dimensions of the “fruit of the Spirit” and one of them is “kindness” (Galatians 5:22-23). Kindness. Yes, kindness. If we are nothing else to people, let us be kind to them. The Bible says “Be ye kind” (Ephesians 4:32). Kindness – God’s kindness in us – will lead people to HIM who bears that blessed fruit in our lives. Let your light shine today so that others can see God’s love in your which comes only by way of being born into His family through Jesus Christ – “born again” (John 3:3, 7).

Why are some people winning souls and some aren’t?

The answer is simple.

Some people are hungering for more of Jesus, pouring over His blessed promises, and having His beautiful, bountiful fruit produced in their lives. They treasure His “exceeding great and precious promises” because they love Him and want more of His working in their lives. They covet and pray daily to be used more of Him.

“According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” 2 Peter 1:3-4

Beloved, go ahead and smile at someone you don’t know today. Look at them instead of ignoring their existence that God gave them and the world.

A smile always increases face value and usually delights the person you care enough about to smile at.

When passing out Gospel literature, smile. Show His loving kindness as He has so abundantly shown you through Jesus Christ (Titus 3:4-7). That kindness you display when handing out a Gospel tract or booklet, will make that person you hand it to want to read it. They will want what you have. Remember, only Christ’s body has His fruit, without exception.

Remember, God wants to use us to draw men to Him and not ourselves and yet, He uses His people to draw people to Him.

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16

Now, just after He makes this statement, our LORD addresses this very issue of loving folks we don’t yet know. First, He instructs us to love even our enemies, then He tells us to get out of our own box, reach out with a smile and a handshake and greet people we don’t know. If God shows kindness to them, how dare we not do so.

Matthew 5

⁴⁴But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

⁴⁵That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

⁴⁶For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

⁴⁷And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

⁴⁸Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:44-48

If we do not have joy at this time in our life, it can only be due to our lack of abiding in Christ – in the crucified life He mandated. Read John 15 today friend! When His joy fills our hearts, it will overflow upon those around us and God will be glorified through Jesus Christ our LORD!

Now remember, the joy of the LORD really is your strength.

“Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:4-7

You are His and He is all yours.

“As he is, so are we in this world.” 1 John 4:17

Of this point, a follower of Jesus notes:

“Amen! I have seen kindness, smiles and friendliness to melt icebergs in my life! This is so true! It is upsetting to see Christians not smiling. They rather look like they were weaned on a pickle! If you have God, you have everything! But it seems like they do not value God enough. If you are saved, at least look and act like you received the biggest blessing and gift ever!” Cecilia

He sends you today. He sends you with all the infinite power of Heaven. There is no lack in God and therefore there is no lack in that divine power He will send you forth in to do what He sends you to do.

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20

Laodicea: How Jesus Instructs the Backslidden to be Restored

Jesus’ Letter to the Church at Laodicea

“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

The cross, the crucified life is the cure to the curse of sin—sin dominating our lives.

Romans 6

Inflation is part of the judgment of God upon a wicked people, nation. We see such in Sodom and in Laodicea (Ezekiel 16:49-59; Romans 1; Revelaton 3:14-22).

“It appears that in this scarcity each might be able to obtain a bare subsistence by his daily labor; but a man could not, in such cases, provide for a family.” Adam Clarke

Your money doesn’t go far….. inflation

“Revelation 6 describes the opening of the first six seals, which represent God’s judgment, often called the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The third seal, broken by a “black horse,” is interpreted to show hyper-inflation and famine, where a day’s wage (a denarius) buys only a quart of wheat. The judgment includes a command to preserve the oil and wine, which some interpret as luxury goods, while essential food becomes scarce and expensive.”

“6:5, 6 In obedience to the third living creature, a rider holding a set of scales came forth on a black horse. This represents famine, which often follows war. A voice in the middle of the four living creatures announced that wheat and barley were being sold at prohibitive prices. The scales were used to weigh the rationed grain and were thus a symbol of famine. The expression do not harm the oil and the wine is difficult. Some say that these were the food of the poor. If they were staple items, then they must be protected in order to preserve life. It seems more likely, however, that the luxury items of the rich are contemplated here: historically, even in famine the rich can get some luxuries.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

The only thing needed to go to hell is to not be on fire for Jesus—to be “lukewarm” (Revelation 3:15-16).

Jesus instructed the Laodicean church… to obtain, to “buy of me….

“3:18 The people were counseled to buy from the Lord gold refined in the fire. This may mean divine righteousness, which is bought without money or price (Isa_55:1) but received as a gift through faith in the Lord Jesus. Or it may mean genuine faith, which when tested in the fire, results in praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ (1Pe_1:7).

Also the people were counseled to buy white garments, that is, practical righteousness in everyday life. And they should anoint their eyes with eye salve, that is, gain true spiritual vision through the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. This counsel was especially appropriate, since Laodicea was known as a center for banking, textiles, and medicines—especially eye salve.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

“Revelation 3:18
I counsel thee – O fallen and deceived soul, hear Jesus! Thy case is not hopeless. Buy of me.
Gold tried in the fire – Come and receive from me, without money and without price, faith that shall stand in every trial: so gold tried in the fire is here understood. But it may mean pure and undefiled religion, or that grace or Divine influence which produces it, which is more valuable to the soul than the purest gold to the body. They had before imaginary riches; this alone can make them truly rich.
White raiment – Holiness of heart and life.
Anoint thine eyes – Pray for, that ye may receive, the enlightening influences of my Spirit, that ye may be convinced of your true state, and see where your help lies.” Adam Clarke

Warning

“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” Revelation 16:15

Coming forth as Purified Gold

“But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” Job 23:10

To “come forth as gold” refers to the finished product, where gold has been purified of all its impurities.

“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:” 1 Peter 1:7

“The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.” Proverbs 17:3

Idolatry is Sin

Putting, having anything or anyone before Christ in our lives is the soul damning sin of idolatry. Such a person has rejected Christ for something, anything else.

One such idol, one such cause today is patriotism for one’s earthly country. See Hebrews 11:14-16.

SO, you are fighting to save America (impossible) and not see souls saved for and by Jesus? Yet you claim to be following Christ who said “I MUST be about my Father’s business”? See Luke 2:49. You are deceived and in need of repentance before it’s too late. You left your “first love” and are in sin, in darkness (Revelation 2:4-5).

“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 33And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. 34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.” Daniel 11:32-35

“Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” Daniel 12:10

PRAYER: Father in Jesus’ name, please grant to my heart Your gift of repentance and the deep desire to have Your righteousness, to not be deceived by sin, Satan, or counterfeits and false teachers. Please forgive all my sins afresh, here and now by Your precious blood LORD Jesus. Unite my heart to fear Your name. Fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me LORD. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Eyesalve to See

“Christian Soldier persevere. It’s about time for Jesus to come.” RN WHY did the LORD give us physical eyes? Protection. And this is why He wishes to grant us spiritual eyes. We cannot ever fake God out. We cannot deceive the Almighty or short His system – which begins with repenting. It’s only then that He opens our eyes to see which brings protection. We can’t be protected from the devouring wolves He often warns us to beware of unless we can SEE or discern them! We need the “eyesalve” that God alone can give us! When Jesus spoke to […]

The Love of Many Shall Wax Cold [podcast]

If someone’s love toward God’s people has waxed cold, it’s only because their love for the LORD first waxed cold (Matthew 24:10-14). Today is the best day to repent and return to the LORD. “And then shall many be offended, and shall […]

“You Who are Troubled Rest with Us” [podcast]

Many instill fear in Christ’s saints concerning these last days. Paul says: “You Who are Troubled Rest with Us”

“Rest with us” because Justice is Coming

2 Thessalonians 1:3-10

3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

The Judgment at Christ’s Coming

5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Divine “vengeance” is coming “vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:” (v8)

Remember, while He instructed us not “avenge,” He also promised that “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Romans 12:19

We shall rejoice to see the LORD retribution come upon the wicked.

“The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11 that a man shall say, 11 1 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.” Psalms 58:10-11

The Happenings just before Christ’s Soon Return

Luke 21:25-28

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:25-28

Being Prepared for His Return

Luke 21:34-36

“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21:34-36

Walking unwavering with and suffering with Christ and His body now – as we look forward to being with Him!

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18

The LORD knows all before it happens and He’s not surprised of anything. God is going to use all these things to conform His people to Christ. Remember, all things are not good but God takes them and uses them to conform us to Christ, to be “crucified with Christ.” (Galatians 2:20).

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” Romans 8:28-29

This truth has never been so relevant saints of Christ and the signs of the season of His return are at hand. He’s coming for you precious one!!!! Rescue mission!!! The Return of Heaven’s KING

May God allow us to preach in such a way as to cause His people to begin to be homesick for Heaven to be with Him.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9

I wonder how full our hearts will be as we become nourished up in His Word concerning Heaven. Will our hearts not burst forth and be filled with excitement, overflowing with joy like before we go on a vacation, the anticipation filling our hearts as we eagerly await being with our glorious Savior and Father? Read John 14:1-6 and Revelation 21.

Calling on the name above all names today. He’s the Maker and Controller of His whole universe and He’s coming back soon to retake control of it all – to decisively, violently put down all of His enemies both demonic and human (Colossians 1:16-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 19:11-16).

No matter what’s going on – good or bad – WE KNOW that the song is true …. that our “God is so good, God is soooo gooood, God is so good, He’s so good to me…..” … There’s NO way to sing this simple song of praise and not get happy in Jesus! Impossible.

Our LORD Jesus is coming to establish His perfect Government on His earth. Stand by. Occupy. Rejoice. Look up. “Your redemption draweth nigh.” (Luke 21:28).

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9:6-7

We can be sure that mankind is fallen and cannot solve his own problem – which is sin against His Maker. Only the Prince of Peace, our LORD Jesus, can do so…. and He will (Isaiah 9:6-7).

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Luke 2:14

He is going to crush His enemies under His feet (Romans 16:20; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 19:11-16; 1 Corinthians 15:25, 27).

PRAYER: Holy Father, in the name of Jesus, please break me, cause me to be truly poor in spirit with a humble, contrite heart of flesh. Please grant a deep compassion in me dear LORD Jesus as You conform me to Your holy image in the crucified life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Two Types of Believers – the mere professor and the possessor.

Waiting for His Son from Heaven “For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; 10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.” 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10 “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 I […]

Maria the Evangelist – Mission Mexico is now supporting Maria the Evangelist [VIDEO]

Picked up a portion of the 10,000 JESUS tracts in Spanish. Thank God and you who gave! YOU made this happen.

“So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.” Acts 19:20

“God is the Lord of the harvest! And there is a great harvest in Mexico because the fields are white ready to be harvested! And now He is bringing forth Laborers!” Karen Cochran

“That is a powerful ministry. May the Lord bless her and your ministry efforts. Praying for this outreach.” Stacy Strother

The fervor, the fire that burned in me a few days ago is perhaps due to this opportunity, now that sister Maria and others have been added to us to support….. we are in a war for the souls of men saints. Thank you for praying saints. The LORD is doing His work in the hearts of men in Mexico.

“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

On this topic, for your exhortation and edification, feel free to listen to the recent podcast titled LORD Please Prepare and Send Me! [podcast].

The members of the body of Christ came through and we have the money needed to print the first round of 10,000 JESUS tracts.

Keep in mind that the ministry is also supporting brother Allan Abayon in the Philippines as he ministers God’s Word to the Philippino people.

God is able saints.

Please excuse the zeal. Sometimes I err when wanting to make sure we, as Christ’s body, properly, to well support the ministers of Christ He is giving us to support. When you see the video of Maria in action, you will see the blessing and opportunity God is giving us. And this is all because you prayed as Jesus instructed, for “the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.”

“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

Have been visiting sister Maria nearly every early evening to give her a big hug, to bless her, to feed her food with cold water, and replenish her supply of the JESUS tracts. In distributing our LORD’s Gospel, Maria misses nearly no one. There’s a constant flow of foot traffic where she ministers and she has a stack of JESUS tracts she keeps replenishing on the store counter that is right there when people check out. Even while we were there last night, the stack diminished visibly.

Today, I picked up a few thousand of the JESUS tracts in Spanish. Next week they will have to have the balance ready to pick up. You made this happen saints! See 1 Corinthians 3:6-9. 10,000 JESUS tracts…..

It lasts longer, and
because printing is more cost effective.

When visiting Maria, she is smiling and moving about so swiftly that it’s actually difficult to get good pics of her in action. She is in her zone, in her JESUS zone! Thank you for lifting up in prayer our dear sister in Christ who is one of His “labourers”! (Matthew 9:35-38) YOU prayed and God is answering!

Juan the evangelist!

Maria the evangelist!

And several more!

WHEN we hand out Gospel tracts today, let the recipients see Christ’s love, joy, and peace beaming in and through your life.

Evangelism God’s Way

We also have Spanish Bibles on the way here which some of your have graciously mailed to us. There’s going to be shipping costs when they arrive. Another great kingdom opportunity!

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:14

Recently, and on several occasions, because you care, we were able to feed several people, including sister Maria. There’s no telling how long it’s been since she had eaten. She didn’t ask, we asked her and went to get food and water for her (and a few homeless men who also were ministered to) with the Gospel and with food, and cold water to refresh her soul.
