Do you ever feel like you are ready to give up? Maybe you have physical or financial problems. Trouble with family, friends or coworkers.
God gives us many promises in His Word. Isiah 40:29 is a great encouragement to anyone who is discouraged.
God’s Word is reliable. We can trust Him to give us strength and power to rise above our circumstances.
Sometimes we get discouraged and weary as we work for the Lord in Ministry.
God wants us to keep working. He is in control. He will bless if we continue.
SOS Events Ministry has certain areas that need more volunteers. For many years we have been praying for the New York Team to grow.
Last week a request for materials came to the office from someone we did not know.
There was no address to send the order. We contacted the person via email and found out he lives in Lockport, Carolyn Curtis hometown.
A few years ago Scott helped the team lead by Joe Russo at an event. Now Scott wants to have a training at his church.
SOS Events will have an additional Team in western New York. God has been working on our prayers for more volunteers.
Praise the Lord!
Today, be thankful for your Pastor and pray for him. Every Pastor has a difficult job with many decisions and heartaches.
Pray for Holy Spirit power in their lives.
Jeremiah 3:15
And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding
Tracts are a wonderful way to witness as you go through your daily life.
Leave one with a tip at a restaurant. Give one to a cashier at a grocery store. When in conversation with a stranger.
Get creative. Find ways you can witness using a gospel tract.
SOS Events can supply you with the “3 Things God Can Not Do” tract. The cost is $2.50 for 25, plus postage.
Email info@sosevents.org, or call 813-494-7512 to order.
so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Isaiah 55:11 KJV
God’s Word has so many practical things to say about how we should live.
Communication is the key to a good relationship. This verse tells us how to communicate well with others.
Listen! Listen! 80% of the time listen. Without interruption or comment. This is hard for some of us. Be conscious of how much you speak.
Speak only 20% of the time. Weigh your words carefully. Be positive and encouraging.
Slow to get angry. The old saying, “count to 10”. Forgiveness is the key. Try to see what the other person might be going through. Everyone has a bad day now and then.
If someone irritates you remember the 80, 20 advice. Quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to wrath.
Have you ever been in a situation where you can’t even pray?
Maybe it is a loved one who is seriously ill.
You have received bad news and are too overwhelmed to know how to pray.
Sometimes we just don’t know what to pray for and our prayers seem to go no further than the ceiling of the room.
Whatever the cause of our lack of prayer, we have an advocate. The Holy Spirit. He will pray for us as the verse in Romans promises.
Be thankful for this precious promise and know that even when you can’t pray, you are being prayed for by Holy Spirit.
Sometimes, we have to send out an SOS to the Lord in prayer. He is faithful to answer. An acronym for how to get prayers answered follows:
Sincere: it is important that we are sincere when we pray. God knows our heart and He knows if we really desire what we are asking for.
Obedience: we must be sure we are obedient to God’s word. There must not be any known sin in our lives.
Specific: we must be specific and tell God exactly what we need.
Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest
God’s promise to His children. We can have victory in our lives over the problems we face.
Victory over sin, addiction, sickness and even death. Do our problems disappear? No, not always. But Jesus promised to walk with us through any trial that we face.
He won the victory over death when He rose from the dead. If you are facing a great battle in your life, remember, you have the victory through Jesus.
