Maybe you fear what people think of you… Not having enough money… Public speaking, flying, being far from home, or spiders… Failure or rejection… Losing a loved one… Disease or pain… Death…. Fear is mentioned in the KJV version of the Bible over 500 times. Over 100 of those verses say, Fear Not. Trusting in the Lord is the only way to overcome fear.
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.
“We ought to be living as if Jesus died yesterday, rose this morning, and is coming back this afternoon.”- Adrian Rogers
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
We can never Praise our Lord and Savior, Jesus, enough for His protection from the storms of life. Each day things are getting a little better from the hurricane. Praise the Lord.
1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Thank you to everyone who prayed for SOS Events Ministry during the hurricane Irma. God spared our property from a direct hit and there was no damage to the buildings. Electricity was restored late yesterday, but still no internet and phone service is spotty, so communication and regular office work cannot be continued as usual. There is a lot of debris on the property that needs to be cleaned up (volunteers would be appreciated). Prayers were answered and the Lord gave us safety. There was no loss of life and all SOS Events staff and volunteers came thought safely. Praise the Lord for His grace and protection. Hopefully by next week everything will be back to normal and witnessing, Bible Studies to new Christians and the office will be up and running.
Psalms 52:9, I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.
Praise the Lord for the 22 decisions in Royersford, PA yesterday. Steve Slater is the team leader in there, and he and two SOS Events team members did a wonderful job witnessing for the Lord. Continue to pray for this team as they have another event in two weeks. Steve and his wife Shirley also have an active nursing home ministry. Praise the Lord for faithful laborers.
Matthew 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Billy Graham was 97 years old on 9/7. He has had more influence for the gospel in the USA and around the world than any other preacher in our lifetime.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For us who are in the path of the storm, a special reminder to look to Jesus for wisdom, comfort and protection. To those of you who are not affected by the storms please pray for those who are.
Psalms 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
Sometimes in life when we think there is only sorrow or trials, we think God has forsaken us. Then He gives us a blessing to show us that He cares and loves us. When going through the darkest trial look for the blessing. It may be something very small, like a phone call or text message from family or friend. It may be something big like a rainbow after the storm, but God is there and we need to lean on Him for peace and comfort.
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
There is a great storm coming in our direction within the next few days, for the people who live in Florida and the eastern USA. Hurricanes are dangerous as we have seen in Texas recently. Many people are frightened and are preparing as they should, however, as Christians we should not fear. Pray and trust the Lord for safety. Material things can be replaced but lives cannot.
Psalms 56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
It is football season. The true football fan will spend money for clothing in their favorite teams colors. They spend Sunday afternoon at the game or glued to the television and cheer and yell when their favorite player makes a touchdown. What enthusiasm for a game. We have someone much greater that the best football star that ever lived and that is the Lord Jesus. Let us show some enthusiasm for Him and tell others about The gift of salvation He has given us. That is something we can shout about, and we can never loose.
2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
