Begin 2015 by thanking the Lord for the blessings of the past and start today with prayer and Bible study. When your everyday begins with the Lord it will be a blessed year no matter what the circumstances.
Happy New Year from all the staff at SOS Events.
Proverbs 8:17
I love them that love me;
and those that seek me early shall find me.
This is a beautiful picture of a little child giving thanks for the food. It is a joy to be in a restaurant or with one of the grandchildren and see them bow their heads and give thanks. Jesus says we should be as little children and follow their example.
Luke 18:16
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not:for of such is the kingdom of God.
One of the things we can be thankful for is quiet. The dictionary meaning is: “Lack of noise, commotion, clamor, distraction. A peaceful state or condition.”
Dr. Charles Stanley says to have a place that is totally quiet and dark when you pray and want to hear from God.
Susanna Wesley would put her apron over her head so the children would know not to disturb her when she prayed.
Our lives are so full of noise. TV, machines, traffic, phones, etc. that it is hard to have the time and quiet place to get alone with God, but it is essential for a close relationship with Him.
If you do not have the time, (you think) get up earlier than your family and read some scripture and just be still and listen for God to speak to you.
It is wonderful to have quiet and feel God’s presence with you.
Psalms 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God:
This simple prayer is taught to small children as a blessing for their food. We as adults sometimes forget the importance of thanking God for our meal, or maybe we are ashamed to bow our heads in public to give thanks if we are at a restaurant or at a business lunch. Even JESUS gave thanks for the provisions that God gave. Let us follow His example at every meal.
Matthew 15:36
And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Another terrorist attack. This time on our friends and neighbors to the north, Canada. Our prayers go up for them as they struggle to find out what happened.
There are Christians in every nation and God’s Word is still true, He says His people must humble themselves and seek His face. Christian in whatever nation you are in, this is a call to prayer.
We cannot be found sleeping. Watch, pray and stand against the evil Jihadists not only in our country but around the world.
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
October is a very busy month for SOS Events and our staff, trainers and workers at events and we need prayer. Alabama National Fair, Talladega Race in AL, Harvest Hayride in NJ, Rodeo in FL, several Halloween events nationwide, plus the weekly Flea Markets and monthly Car Show.
Our workers get tired and they do more than double duty this time of year.
Also, the devil does not like soul winning so he will try all kinds of tactics to keep our workers occupied with other things.
More laborers are needed in all areas.
You are invited everyday to call Tom at (813)784-8242 and that invitation is open today, but if you are a person that knows how to pray please remember SOS laborers this month especially. Thank you and may God richly bless you.
Luke 10:2
Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few:pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
“I prayed for Faith, and thought that some day Faith would come down and strike me like lightning. But Faith did not seem to come. One day I read in the tenth chapter of Romans, ‘Now Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God’. I had closed my Bible, and prayed for Faith. I now opened my Bible, and began to study, and Faith has been growing ever since. ”
D. L. Moody
Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
I asked GOD for strength, that I might achieve
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health, that I might do greater things
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.
I asked for riches, that I might be happy
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of GOD.
I asked for all things , that I might enjoy life
I was given life,that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing I asked for —–
But everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were
Answered
I am among all men, most richly blessed.
Matthew 6:8
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Need prayer? Call Tom 813-784-8242
Jesus is standing at the door of your heart, waiting for you to invite Him in. If you have not done that call Tom 813-784-8242 and he will show you how.
Phone ringing in the night is a frightening sound to me as usually it means bad news and something has happened to someone in our family.
Tom woke me out of a sound sleep yesterday, “Your phone is ringing,” he said. I went to get the phone, thinking the worst, but it was his phone ringing.
He answered and it was a lady needing prayer. 4:30 am is an odd time to call a prayer line but this woman, from across the country, really needed someone to listen, hear her prayer request and pray with her.
We are thankful for the opportunity to be used of The Lord to pray for people in need.
The prayer line is open. If you call and Tom does not answer immediately, he will get back to you as soon as possible. Leave your name, phone number and a short request. Call Tom 813-784-8242.
Acts 6:4
But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
