“The secret of praying is praying in secret. A sinning man will stop praying, and a praying man will stop sinning.”
Leonard Ravenhill
Matthew 6:6
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
What a blessing! On Wednesdays there is a Farmers Market in Plant City, FL. SOS has been setting up a booth in that Event for several months. Usually 2 or 3 make decisions for Christ but yesterday our SOS team won 14 precious souls to The Lord.
A Hispanic Pastor worked for about one hour and we are grateful as the majority of the people are Spanish. Pray with us for more Spanish workers and thank The Lord for our faithful team.
Pictured are Randy Mlinek with 2 converts from the Plant City Farmers Market.
Matthew 9:38
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Saturday is a busy day for staff and volunteers at SOS Events. Today there is the weekly Flea Market in Auburndale, a big Egg Hunt at a large church in Fishhawk (1500) expected, a huge yearly yard sale at another church and many other events all around the country.
You can be a partner with SOS today by joining us in prayer for the various events. Pray that The Lord will draw people to the SOS booth, that the ones listening to the presentation will have the conviction of the Holy Spirit, and then that they will yield to that calling and be saved, also, that every convert will fill out a decision card so that we can send them a Bible study and they can begin to grow in Christ.
Please pray as soon as you read this, God will hear and answer as that is His desire to see souls saved.
2 Corinthians 1:11
Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
If you have been following this blog you know how we prayed for another Randy, and God sent us a Randy two weeks ago.
Then last week the phone rang and the man said, “Hi, my name is Randy and I want to join your ministry and take it back to Ohio.”
In the picture is Randy, his wife and another couple, he recruited.
Tom and I went to Webster Flea Market to train them and now SOS will have a team in Ohio.
We have now changed our prayer to, “Father, please send us some more men and women who have a passion for souls like Randy.”
God answers prayer specifically.
John 14:13-14
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
Be careful what you pray for. God has a sense of humor, I believe. We at SOS have been praying for about a year, “Lord, send us another Randy.”
Randy Mlinek and his team does a wonderful job at flea markets in Florida winning souls to Christ, that we wanted another person to have the same passion and burden for souls.
Yesterday, in the blog we told how God answered prayer. What we did not say is that the man God sent is Randy.
We are changing our prayer now to, “Lord, please send us more men and women who have the vision like Randy.”
Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
God answers prayer. SOS has been praying for more full time missionaries to come with the ministry. Last night a Pastor called and said he is coming with SOS full time.
This Pastor was at the first church we went to in Florida when the ministry was in its infancy. He has seen what God has done over the years and is ready now to join with us as we attempt to reach the USA and beyond for Christ.
Jeremiah 33:3
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Knowing how to pray is the greatest achievement on earth, it takes great discipline to receive the power God has for us.
Jesus prayed all night to the Father.
How much time do we pray everyday?
Luke 6:12
And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
“Everyone has a knee-mail account, but not everyone uses it.”
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing.
Today begins 11 straight days of opportunity to win souls at the Strawberry Festival in Plant City, FL.
God has given SOS a wonderful team of people who have a desire to witness for The Lord.
Will you join with us in prayer for the lost men, women, boys and girls that will pass by the booth?
The Holy Spirit is the One who draws them to us, convicts them of sin and prepares the heart to receive the message of salvation.
It is our responsibility to give them the gospel and trust God for the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:7
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
“Prayer is asking; the answer to prayer is receiving.”
John R. Rice
Thank everyone who prayed for SOS training yesterday. There were 24 people who took the training and most signed up to witness in the booth at Strawberry Festival.
Keep praying with us for a few more workers and souls to be saved.
We are expecting God to answer in great measure.
Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
