I Can Talk To GOD

August 25, 2021

At a fair in Ohio staff from SOS and some volunteers from a local church was working in the booth. Many people walk by and are curious about what is behind the doors on the display. There is always a sign that says See 3 things God Can Not Do.

One man a grandfather kept walking past the sign and finally came over to the staff worker and asked to see what was behind the doors.

He was shown the doors. 1. God Can Not Lie 2. God Can Not Change

  1. God Can Not Let Anyone Into Heaven Unless He is Born Again.

“I’m Catholic”, the man said.

“Are you 50, 75 or 100% sure you would go to Heaven if you died today? The worker asked.

“No, I do not know I am going to Heaven”.

The staff member took Ray to the soul winners table where Ray accepted the Lord then he asked, “Could you get me a Bible? I go to mass every Sunday and after that service I go to a Bible preaching church because I found out there that I can talk to God without going through a priest”.

A few minutes later Ray’s wife walked past the tent and the exact same thing happened. She also was asked the questions, went back to a soul winner and accepted Christ as her Savior.

What a blessing to have a place to witness where people from all faiths have an opportunity to hear that God loves them and they can know Jesus personally. Like Ray said, “I can talk to God.”

Deuteronomy 5:24 And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.

Rejoice Whatever the Circumstances

August 24, 2021

Can we rejoice in times of trouble and hard circumstances? Yes.

When my youngest son died unexpectedly, I felt my world crash around me. Did I think I could rejoice? No. However, I was teaching school, 5th grade, and one of my students encouraged me everyday.

We would sing this verse of scripture and find one thing to rejoice about that day. It maybe was as small as a butterfly landing on a beautiful flower or some other seemingly insignificant thing. As the days went by I felt the heavy burden lift and GOD brought true joy back into my life. (Testimony by Carolyn Curtis, cofounder SOS Events Ministry)

If you are going through difficult times, remember, this IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE, find something you can be rejoice about.

Jesus is Coming! It May Be Soon.

Send GOD a SOS!

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 not.

Trust in God!

August 8, 2021

Many people, even Christians, are fearful. Illness, natural disasters, family problems and finances are all things that cause us to fear.

But God is real. He tells us to fear not. It is a matter of faith and trust. Faith comes by hearing and hearing is the Word of God.

We need to read the Bible everyday and meditate on what God tells us. Pray and tell Jesus our fears and concerns. Find fellowship with other believers. Listen to Pastors and teachers who present the truth.

Fear and confusion are not from God. Confess our fear to Him and He will bring peace.

The Bible has the answer.

Jesus said, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
