When you pray do you expect God to answer?
Don asked Tom Curtis (cofounder of SOS Events) this question. “Does God ever speak to you?
Tom’s answer, “Yes, God speaks sometimes through reading His Word, sometimes when listening to the preaching, sometimes in a still small voice in your heart.”
The end of that story. God spoke to Don and he gave Tom and Carolyn his property, where Carolyn lives today and SOS Events office and workshop are there also.
God does speak to us. Are you listening?
Many of us travel especially in the summer. Vacations, Family Reunions, Weddings maybe even Work.
Someone who goes wherever you go is God. If you know Jesus as your Savior, He is with you wherever you go. That is a great blessing.
It is also a challenge. If you are tempted do do something you know is wrong because no one is there. Remember, God is with you and He sees everything that you do.
So enjoy your travels. Be thankful for the assurance that you are in the safety of God’s presence.
“We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power. We have a great deal of activity, but we accomplish little; many services but few conversions; much machinery but few results.” ~R.A. Torrey
Most Christians fall into this category today, unfortunately. In our churches we see very few conversions, in ministry there are few people that are willing to spend even three or four hours a week or even a month to go to the marketplace to witness to the lost.
Someday we will be judged for what we have done for The Lord.
Will we hear “Well done” or will our works be counted as wood hay and stubble and be cast into the fire?
When we stand before Him, will our excuse be, “I was too busy”?

“Never let your yesterday keep you from your tomorrow.”
Sometimes we let our past keep us from doing what God wants us to do today or tomorrow.
We don’t think we can teach others because we know others who know the Bible better than we do.
We don’t think we can tell others about Jesus because we tried and the person rejected what we had to say.
We don’t think we can go to church because we may get sick.
Excuses we have for not doing what God calls us to do. We are allowing our past sin or failure to keep us from doing what God wants us to do. We are robbing ourselves of a blessing.
Whatever God wants us to do, He will give us the strength, wisdom, finances or whatever we need to complete the task.
Satan will try to keep you where you are. Do not let him have control. You can do it!
God expects spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
Your Pastor needs your prayers. Pray he will be filled with the Holy Spirit as he preaches.
Pray he will not get distracted by people bringing problems to him before the services.
Encourage him with kind words.
Pray for his family.
Pray for his personal needs.
God has given him to you. Learn to appreciate him and let him know you are praying for him.
Do you feel discouraged? Depressed? Nobody cares? I’m ugly! Something terrible will happen today. Negative thoughts.
What a beautiful day. God loves me. I am blessed. I see so much beauty in what God has created. I am thankful. Positive thoughts.
Proverbs 23:7a For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:
God’s Word has much to say about how we think. What are you thinking about?
Are you content to go to church once or twice a week? Maybe you think telling others about Jesus is the Pastor’s job.
You have an excuse, I’m too old, I’m too young, I’m too busy, I have too many responsibilities.
God tells us in His Word that we are to GO and TELL. It is not a suggestion, it is a command.
Maybe you have fear of rejection or you do not know how to witness.
SOS Events has an effective way of witnessing that is simple, not hard to learn and is effective and we can help you.
SOS Events will supple you with the knowledge and venue to become a soul winner.
Many churches have put away the old hymns. How sad!
Bring in some of the more modern music (as long as they line up with scripture) but don’t throw away the great hymns of the past.
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not;
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
Refrain:
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Refrain
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
“Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred. It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness.”
Corrie was a woman who suffered terribly in a concentration camp in World War II. Her father and sister died from cruelty of prison guards.
She became well known after the war by writing and speaking of her experiences. Her faith in the Lord Jesus was what got her through those terrible times.
She realized that she must forgive the person who caused her so much pain and grief when she came face to face with him after one of her speeches.
This former prison guard stretched out his hand and asked her forgiveness. After several seconds she realized that she must with God’s help forgive him. She took his hand and felt God’s amazing love flow through her.
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. Mark 11:25&26
