PRAY PREACH AND TEACH JESUS.

Terry and Samantha are on my heart the last few days as i am praying for many who are sick, heavy laden, lukewarm, and lost. Terry and Samantha were homeless and are an example of faith, trust and belief in God. i am praying God heal the sick, give new strength to the heavy laden, and save the lost and lukewarm so His glory and power be manifest in their lives, that His sovereignty reign in their lives. i see many homeless each day, and i see many who have it all, i see many who are hopeless from all walks of life. So many in need of our Saviour and God but reluctant or too prideful to cry out unto him..hearts that are hard and stubborn, refusing to give it all to Jesus. it breaks my heart. And the lukewarm break my heart even more because God says he will spue them out of his mouth in Revelation 3:15-16. Having heard the word, how can anyone stay in a place of lack of faith and hope and love..How can one turn away from their first love?

Lord, i spent hours with an awesome woman of God today who is very ill. She has faith and trust in you, she has a wonderful testimony of your work in her life, but she gets weary, please give her strength to overcome. i talked to another woman today on the phone who was just released from a hospital for trying to kill herself, she is so lost and without hope in her life, in her spiritual, emotional and physical, please God save her before it is too late. Penetrate the hard heart for your glory.. amen.

Terry and Samantha believe and trust God, and when they were homeless, they believed and trusted God and were patient to wait upon Him in their circumstance, to praise Him in their adversity. God made a way for them to have a home because He is God and he promised to take care of his children. Thank you Jesus. There are many stories of faith and trust in Jesus. Many who trust God in their adversity and praise Him through the storms no matter how big or small. But the many only make up a remnant who will be saved.

"Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved, for he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.." Romans 9:27-28

Time is running out upon the earth and Jesus is coming back for a church, that's us, without spot or blemish (Ephesians 5:27). He is coming back for a holy church that is a good and faithful servant (Matthew 25:21), one who is obedient and busy doing his will for the kingdom. One who has faith (Luke 18:8). Will he find us here? Will we be part of the remnant?

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33

Do we believe God's word is true or not??

"Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." John 4:13-14

Jesus has unsearchable riches to freely give those who repent and believe on him (Matthew 4:17). Who give every bit of their lives to Him. That well of water springing up into eternal life is by grace, the Spirit of the living God for all who come to him.

My heart is heavy as i take the lost, the lukewarm, the sick and heavy laden to prayer. The answer is Jesus and even when offered the answer freely, some people just walk away, like the rich young ruler.. it is so sad.

Yet, i will always choose Jesus, to serve the Lord all the days of my life and preach and teach the Gospel of Jesus to all who will listen to me, each day i draw a breath. i love my God with all my heart, mind, and soul and my neighbor as myself. i am an overcomer by the blood of the Lamb, the word of my testimony and love not my life unto the death amen. i am encouraged and blessed by the family i have in the Lord that has also given their lives over to Jesus and see this world through the eyes of eternity. i thank God for them. Thank you Lord for using me in you plan for mankind, thank you Lord for giving me new life in you, every day.

Please reach out to the sick, heavy laden, the lukewarm and the lost in your life, pray and let the Spirit of God work in you to tell them about Jesus. And never stop praying for them. We are all they have in this world to lead them to Jesus, we are Jesus' workmen in the fields ready for harvest, do not miss it.

"If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for." — Charles H. Spurgeon

Amen
