The Seed of Salvation [podcast]

JENNIFER AND JESUS! RECENTLY, at a body of Christ event, a sister in Jesus I hadn’t seen in decades introduced me to 2 of her children. She then told her daughters that I was the one who led her to Jesus. I broke into tears when she said that due to not remembering that was how she had gotten saved. This dear sister was 18 years old when Jesus saved her. I had been doing a weekly local Christian TV show and invited the audience on every broadcast to repent and receive Christ or hell awaited. One night this dear soul (Jennifer) was watching one of the programs and obeyed God and Jesus saved her as a result.

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Acts 16:31

Sister Jennifer then told me all her house has been consequently saved now!!!! Her husband, their 7 kids, and her parents and siblings!!!!!! Jesus is so good!

An encouragement to you …. Oh how we sometimes think that the little things we do as God leads and enable have little or no impact….. but we are wrong!

“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but GOD that giveth the increase. 8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:6-9

The little things we do to participate with our LORD in reaching out to others does have divine impact in spite of being brought through our feeble vessels…. Because “But we have this treasure (the Gospel) in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” (2 Corinthians 4:7) The Gospel really is “the POWER of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” (Romans 1:16)

“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.” Psalms 19:7 

YESTERDAY, before entering a local thrift store, a guy working on the building initiated a friendly conversation. While in the thrift store I picked up a King James Bible and on the way out I gave it to him. In a friendly tone, he asked “I guess you’re giving me this because I need it right?” I said “yes and we all need it. No one needs it more than me.” God is good. We are planting the incorruptible seed of God’s Word in the hearts of men saints which never returns back to our God void – but rather always accomplished His will (Isaiah 55:11; 1 Corinthians 3:6-9; 1 Peter 1:23).

Jennifer thrived ……After Jesus saved this young lady (Jennifer), she immediately became part of a group of born again young people who were learning and growing in the grace of Christ daily. I was also blessed to be part of what God was doing in that small group. There was fellowship, prayer, Scripture memorizing, street evangelism, etc.

If God can use us, He can use anyone! And here’s why and how ….. Beloved saint, always remember this revelation:

“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11
