Thomas Jefferson was concerned about our country over 200 years ago. What would he think now? If you have not joined us in prayer for America at 9 PM every evening please start today.
Many of you who read our blog everyday live in other countries and it is not only the USA that needs prayer but every country in the world. You could start a prayer group for your country. Don’t wait.
1 Timothy 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting
“God has a master plan for your life, and that master plan does not change either. It is a plan designed specifically for you. It is a plan that God intends for you to live out fully, beginning at the moment of your birth and never ending until the moment of your death.” Dr. Charles Stanley
Psalm 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
I would like you to know as I write this, I am dying. But the most amazing thing, so are you. When we are born, every day we get closer to death. The BIBLE says murder is a sin. However,Planned Parenthood is killing little babies. That is called MURDER which is punishable by GOD. I cannot imagine after they murder the baby they cut the baby apart. What do you think about that?
Everyone, the Supreme Court, the PRESIDENT, the people who are appointed to lead our country will be accountable. No one is being punished by man. There is a judgement day coming when all mankind will face God. There is only one way to escape the punishment for sin, (murder or any other) is to repent and ask Jesus to forgive, accept His death, burial and resurrection.
Tick, tick, tick, the pendulum of the clock of time is swinging rapidly.
2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Rain in New Jersey on the weekend cancelled monthly Columbus Flea Market and one night of Harvest Hayride, one of the most exciting and profitable events for soul winning that SOS Events has the privilege of participating in each year.
However, in spite of the rain the event did take place on Saturday evening and fourteen precious souls were saved. Sara B, Mae, Tom, Chris, Lena and Sandy with their team leader Lavanya worked in the booth. Thank you!
On the decision card, in answer to the question, What did Jesus do for you when you just prayed?; Simone, age 37, wrote: He sent me here to get me delivered from my fears.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
When a family gets together, particularly after a long separation, it is a great blessing. Every family member is different but brought together with a bond of love.
If reunions are a blessing here, think of the wonderful day we will all be together in Heaven. Not only with our earthly family (if they are saved) but with our Chistian brothers and sisters from all walks of life, different denominations and ethnic groups. “What a day of rejoicing that will be.”
Ephesians 1:3-6: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Yesterday, Octorber 9, in a major retail store a large display of Christmas trees, decorations and gifts were displayed. The commercialism for a special Holiday commemorating Jesus birth has been turned into a money making event and the worst part of it all is the name JESUS can not even be spoken in public.
His name, the Bible and any form of Christianity has been ridiculed and denounced by our government because of the “rights” of other religions (or lack of any religion). What happened to our Nation that was founded on the principles in the Bible? Freedom OF religion, not freedom From religion.
The Bible tells us that every knee shall one day bow to Jesus, the One who shed His blood that we may have eternal life. Let us who are Christians honor Him by telling others about Him and change the lives of people one person at a time.
Philippians 2:10-11 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Today, if you need encouragement a good hymn to listen to is “When We See Christ.” There are several versions on Utube. Jesus is coming again. It could be today.
Oft times the day seems long, our trials hard to bear,
We’re tempted to complain, to murmur and despair;
But Christ will soon appear to catch His Bride away,
All tears forever over in God’s eternal day.
Sometimes the sky looks dark with not a ray of light,
We’re tossed and driven on , no human help in sight;
But there is one in heav’n who knows our deepest care,
Let Jesus solve your problem – just go to Him in pray’r.
Life’s day will soon be o’er, all storms forever past,
We’ll cross the great divide, to glory, safe at last;
We’ll share the joys of heav’n – a harp, a home, a crown,
The tempter will be banished, we’ll lay our burden down.
Chorus:
It will be worth it all when we see Jesus,
Life’s trials will seem so small when we see Christ;
One gliimpse of His dear face all sorrow will erase,
So bravely run the race till we see Christ.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Ten new souls added to The Kingdom of Heaven yesterday at the Plant City, Fl Flea Market. What a great blessing.
Last evening Diana and Tony Guliano, along with Alice Thomas had a training at a local Church and 20 people attended. Another blessing as more laborers have been added to God’s harvest field.
Many events take place in the busy fall season and there is always room for more workers. Today several volunteers will meet at the SOS Events home office to get materials ready for the upcoming events. The rewards for work done will be received when they get to heaven.
Matthew 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
“Without communication there is no relationship.”
This quote is one of the things that a Pastor, whose name I have forgotten, preached many years ago that made a great difference in my life.
He was speaking about our relationship with God. Communication is a connection, a way to express thoughts, feelings and action to one another.
To have a relationship with God we MUST communicate. How? We talk to Him through prayer and He talks to us through His Word and the Holy Spirit. It has to be a regular thing. He desires us to come to Him daily for that true intimate relationship with him.
The same thing is true with our relationships with family and friends. If we do not keep communication active the relationship fades and can die.
If you are out of fellowship with God, He is waiting for your relationship to begin again. Pray and ask His forgiveness for your neglect and that wonderful joy of communication with God will be restored immediately.
Maybe there is someone that you haven’t communicated with in a long time. Today, there is no excuse with email, Facebook, Phone and all the modern ways we have to talk to our friends and family. You may not get an immediate response but do not give up. Those relationships can be mended or improved but not without communication.
Hebrews 13:15-16 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
“Don’t let the noise of the world drown out the peace of God’s Love.”
If you watch the news on TV, listen to the radio, or read the newspaper you know that the world is in chaos. The Bible tells us that we can have peace and joy no matter what the circumstance.
The secret of peace is to know God, read his word every day and trust him completely.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
