Too Busy

February 3, 2015

“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 1856-1928

This quote was accurate 100 years ago, how much truer it is today. Are you too busy to pray? Lack power in your life? What about your church?
It is the command to every Christian and every church to win people to Christ but it cannot be done without the Holy Spirit power, which comes from prayer.

Jude 1:20
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Answer to Prayer

Pastor Jose and wife Maria with Tom at SOS office Thursday evening. This Pastor is an answer to prayer. His first language is Spanish and speaks English fairly well.
He has a small Hispanic church and wants to win souls at a flea market in Lakeland, Florida.
Once again God is sending people to expand the ministry and win souls to Himself. There is a great need in this area as there is a large Spanish population. Pray for Pastor Jose and his members that they will be successful as they witness for Christ.

Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

God Heals

The Lord once again has given back health to Tom, founder of SOS Events Ministry. Tom had been housebound for almost 7 months. Some days during those months there was almost a certainty that Tom would be home with the Lord within hours.
But God is not finished with Tom yet. In the last month, he has been gaining strength, is able to walk without cane or walker and is back to going to events to win people to the Lord.
This picture of Tom was taken last weekend at the Big Top Flea Market in Tampa, Florida.
Praise the Lord for His healing power.

James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

A Little Child

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.

Quiet

November 19, 2014

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:

Mealtime Prayer

November 12, 2014

IMG_1394.JPG
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.
