Are you willing to ask God to search your heart and your thoughts?
Sin starts in the mind. If we truly want to have a pure heart, then we need to ask God to reveal to us any thoughts that may not be pleasing to Him.
Wow! That can be a risky prayer. We may have to give up that secret sin.
But, the reward of knowing that we have pleased the Lord will far outweigh anything we want to hold on to.
SOS Events training is important because it gives confidence to the participants.
Sometimes there is one person. Jessica came to the office to be trained so she can volunteer at the Florida Strawberry Festival that starts next Thursday.
Sunday there will be a training at Church on the Rock. Several people will then be prepared to share the Gospel at events.
Please pray for all the volunteers that will be witnessing at the Strawberry Festival and other events.
Car Show is today, Wednesday is Flea Market and Thursday is Senior Servants as well as the Festival. That is just in our small area. There are other events taking place in Alabama and beyond.
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. John 14:13
Families today are often busy and pulled in many different directions, but one thing that keeps a home strong is time spent together with the Lord. Prayer doesn’t have to be long—just a few moments each day can bring peace, unity, and encouragement.
When a family prays together, children learn faith by example, hearts stay softer toward one another, and challenges are faced as a team. A home centered on God becomes a place of love, support, and strength.
Strong families are not perfect families—they are families who choose to stay connected and serve the Lord together. Even simple times of prayer at the table or before bed can build lasting bonds that carry through generations.
Do you ever feel like God will not hear or answer a prayer that you think He would not care about?
Wrong! God cares about the smallest detail in our lives. He knows the number of hairs on your head, so don’t you think He cares about your “little” prayers or desires.
There was a time when I wanted some grapes. I was in a city that I knew nothing about. I had no way of going to a grocery store. A knock came on door. There was a man with a bag of groceries. On the top was a cluster of the most beautiful grapes.
I had not even prayed about grapes. It was a want, and God knew my desire.
Whatever you need, God hears and answers no matter how small that need or desire is.
Today is Sunday and your Pastor needs prayer. The Enemy does not want him filled with the Spirit and preaching God’s Word. He will face battles today as he gets ready to feed us. The best way to honor your Pastor is to pray for him and encourage him with kind words. Pray for power in his message, for souls to be saved and backslidden Christians to get right with God.
Also, a tip from a dear Pastor’s wife, please do not catch him before church with problems, troubles or criticism. He needs to be free from conflicting thoughts so the Holy Spirit can work through him.
Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding
(Reposted because it is important and needed)
Prayer is the key to having a thankful heart. The more we pray and see God’s answers, the more thankful we become.
The Bible is full of God’s promises, As we read His Word, pray in His will, we can’t help but be thankful for all He does for us.
Watch is also a word in this verse. Sometimes we need to sit back and watch what God will do. His answer is not always immediate.
Pray, watch, wait and be thankful.
Volunteers of the SOS Events Florida Team were at the Flea Market in Plant City this week and God richly blessed their efforts with 17 people who trusted Jesus as their Savior.
Praise God for these new Christians. Please pray for them as the learn more through Bible studies that will be sent to those who gave SOS their addresses. Pray they find a good Bible believing church. Salvation is just the beginning of their new life in Christ.
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. 2 Peter 3:18
