Luke 24:45-48

Luke 24:45-48 (KJV)
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.

The Great Commission: Part 3

As believers, we are Christ’s disciples also. Therefore, He has called each of us to share the gospel message in all the world.

Today’s Prayer (09/14/2020)

Oh Lord, it is my heart’s desire to serve You and to lead as many people as possible to know You. And Lord, I know that I cannot do this on my own. Without Your presence with me, my words will do nothing good, but only stir up contention. What I need is You speaking through me at all times. As I am called to be Your witness, I pray that I will go forth and be valiant in Your sight. I would never wish that people would want to follow me, but only follow You. As people hear Your message of hope and salvation, I wish to decrease and You increase. These people need to understand the importance of the cross and the resurrection. For only then will they desire to be forgiven and desire Your mercy for their sins. Lord, I know that You are oh so merciful and just. Your ways are pure and holy, and I wish that people would come to understand this also. Then, would they know that living a life of sin is causing You, God, to grieve. How sad it is to see people who say they believe in You and then continue to willfully sin. What a waste of a life who could have been redeemed by Your blood. So it is my prayer that these people will repent, truly believe in You, and then be baptized. And if they have already been baptized, that they will come back to You. Your arms are wide open to receive them back. I just hope that they make this choice before it is too late. Surely, Your teachings and promises are true. We are either saved and will go to heaven, or will enter death and go to hell. As for me, continue to cleanse me all my sins. Help me to walk in Your holiness and no longer cling to the things of this world. I love You, Jesus. I give You praise and honor, this day and forever. Amen.

Matthew 28:16-20

Matthew 28:16-20 (KJV)
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

The Great Commission: Part 2

Jesus has asked us to be His witnesses. To teach people what He commanded and to baptize them also. This is the great commission.

Today’s Prayer (09/13/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that every believer will desire to become Your witnesses. That people will realize that believing in and following You is more than knowing the truth, but also telling others about You. Surely, we have the cure to eternal destruction and hell in Your gospel message of the cross and resurrection, so why would people be quiet about this matter? All I know, God, is that we have some genuine Christians out there, but also others who are living with a dead faith. And how fruitful can a person be in Your kingdom who is not willing to open their mouths and share the gospel message with others? The answer is that they cannot do any good thing for You if they are keeping the truth to themselves. Therefore, Lord, awaken people to know You for themselves. May they truly believe in You and be baptized. Then, will they put on Christ and no longer walk the path of destruction. We need Your direction in this life, or else we will easily fall victim to sin and death. And only by Your blood, that was shed for us on the cross, can we be resurrected unto new life. Surely, the day that I came out of the waters of baptism is when the Holy Spirit filled me and now I only wanted to tell others about You, Jesus. All the selfishness in my heart went away and I became more and more selfless. Lord, the best thing I can do is serve, help, and witness Your truths with people of this world. It is my prayer that people will call upon Your Name and believe. That they will then turn from their sins, and be baptized. There is a cleansing awaiting them, that only You can provide. Salvation is real and it comes through You, Jesus. I love You, Lord. I give You praise and honor. Amen.

Mark 16:15,16

Mark 16:15,16 (KJV)
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

The Great Commission: Part 1

We are called to be part of the great commission. Which is to witness the gospel with others and lead them to Jesus unto salvation.

Today’s Prayer (09/12/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray for salvation for those among the homosexual community. I am not talking about people who will not repent and come to You, but those that are prime and ready to. I don’t believe that every person who is a homosexual is damned and will go to hell when they die, for there is still time to be set free while they have breath. Only if they continue in their lifestyle until the end, will their fate be sealed in the lake of fire. Lord, knowing this is an alarming fact and I wish to wake these people up from the clutches of hell and raise them up to know You, Jesus. I just need Your help. Move within me and others in the faith, that chains will be broken once and for all. If you are for us, we can reach these people even unto salvation. Lord, in the next hour I will be on the streets witnessing at a gay pride festival and need the Holy Spirit to be with me. Keep me from harm’s way, while keeping me tasked to preach and teach to every person who has an ear to hear You. I am coming into a fire that only You can tame. I know that many people will be upset with Your Words, but the fact of the matter is that there are lives at stake of going to hell and need saving. May these people come to realize the abominable state they are in and repent. I ask that people will pray with me for salvation. If there are dozens or even hundreds, praise God. May this message I share with them be not of me, but from the Holy Spirit. The Spirit can move mountains in us and also set people free from sin and shame. I love You, Jesus. You are worthy to be praised. Amen.

Homosexuals Need Jesus

Only through Jesus can homosexuals understand that their actions are so vile and sinful in the sight of God and repent.

Today’s Prayer (09/11/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that more people will have faith in You and be baptized. Too many people in our day and age now teach things that go against what You have said in scripture, which is to believe in You and be baptized. Then, we shall be saved. But how is this Lord? How can people who call themselves Christians leave out the importance of baptism and just tell their congregation to have faith? This leads me to believe that they know of the different teachings of the Bible, but only desire to teach the things that jive with their belief system. And so we have the philosophies or traditions of men being mixed in with the church, where really we have man’s own opinion on things, instead of You orchestrated their church. This is so sad and tells me that these pastors need to wake up and repent. I wish these men and even women now, would acknowledge everything in scripture as Your Words and teach on them. I say even women since this is blasphemy. The Bible clearly teaches that only men are pastors. Lord, we are living in a fallen and darkened generation, where even churches are corrupted. No wonder why so many people live just like the world and don’t even think it is wrong. Lord, only Your will power can change this, but I am afraid it is too late for that. I have seen the signs of Your coming and they are here and now. So it is my prayer that more people will come to true faith in You and be baptized. That they will come out of the darkness and into Your light. Give them wisdom, as they start reading the Bible daily and praying often. Doing this will change their entire mindset on things. I love You, Lord. I give You praise and honor, this day and forever. Amen.

Mark 16:16

Mark 16:16 (KJV)
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Today’s Prayer (09/10/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that people will be more willing to stop what they are doing and help others. Surely, You will always stop what You are doing and listen to our prayers, while helping us, but we often cannot do the same for others. So many people, Lord, are too worried about losing their job, or missing out on getting to church or some other event on time, that they pass by people in need in their cars. This is very sad. All I know is that the times that I have stopped to help people have been the most joyous occasions in this life. And after I have finished helping them I am no longer worried about getting to where I was going on time. What I just did for this person was also for God and that was all that mattered. Lord, I wish that more people would desire to love others as You have called us to love them. That they would desire to love one another as we love You, which is with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength. Even our dealings with people in need should come first before our own needs. Lord, I know that this sounds foreign, but when people realize how important it is to be a light in this darkened world for others, they would jump at these opportunities. Lord, I am praying for people to become more selfless, kind, patient, compassionate, caring, considerate, loving, and merciful. These are all characteristics that only come from You, and by constantly listening to You, while abiding in the Spirit. We can be a light unto this lost generation, but there needs to be a fire that is burning in people. A fire that will consume them from the inside out. Lord, I am filled with Your fire. All I desire is to help people in need, but I am only one person. I need more people who will join me in this kingdom effort. I love You. Amen.

Luke 10:33-35

Luke 10:33-35 (KJV)
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

Today’s Prayer (09/09/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that we will all grow in our faith in You. That we will no longer grow colder because of sin but allow You to lead us into Your presence. Keep us far from the devil, that darkness may flee and light may enter in. It is my heart’s desire to stay close to You and abide in Your love. Lord, I am sorry for my sins and pray that You will cleanse me. Forgive me and have mercy for my soul. I am sorry for hurting You. Wash me through Your blood and take me from this place of guilt, and raise me up into Your peace. The things of this world often look so appealing to me, but I am always feeling shameful in the end. When lust has a hold of me I cannot even think straight, for my thoughts are twisted. And I am sorry for committing such wicked things, because of lust and covetousness. Lord, help me to always be content and even be willing to give up things I do not need in life. My true joy is found in You. So I look to You in faith, Lord, as my Savior, God, and King. Rescue me from this broken world and keep me ever on Your righteous path. Help me choose the better part of this world, which is listening to You and then being obedient to Your teachings. Then, people can be loved as You love them. Every day that I pray and read the Bible, I learn so much. And I am grateful for all the understanding and wisdom You have given me. So help me to learn of You and obey Your counsel. I believe in You, Lord. No longer do I wish to sin against You. I love You. Amen.

Isaiah 1:16-19

Isaiah 1:16-19 (KJV)
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

Today’s Prayer (09/08/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that You will spark an interest in everyone’s hearts who say they are in the faith to witness their faith with others. It is sad to go on the streets and to never see anyone else witnessing Your truths with others. Too many people are comfortable in what they have been taught and don’t mind worshipping You in church, but sharing their faith is another thing. Lord, I don’t understand this. All I want to do is tell others about You, Jesus, and nothing more. What is happening in sports, politics and the world does not compare to what people need to know about You and being saved. Truly, the best news about people coming to faith and being baptized is not recorded in the news outlets, but only things that they deem are good. How can the world shun You and what is happening in Your kingdom and think it is ok? This is so wrong and will only be fixed when more people desire to join me and others on the streets. We don’t need more protests, which cause riots, but good men, women, and youth to gain courage and become Your witnesses. I would love to reach everybody that passes by me on the streets, but I am only one person. Surely, the harvest is ripe, but the laborers are few. And I am afraid that people don’t care as much either. My heart breaks just saying that, for I cannot even imaging where their faith lies as well if that is where they stand. Lord, I know that when I am shut up in my house and don’t want to tell people about You, my faith was dead,. So I know that many people in this day have a dead faith also. Awaken them of their sleep. Save them, while there is still time. I love You, Jesus. I will go forth and be Your light in this darkened world. Amen.

Mark 16:15-18

Mark 16:15-18 (KJV)
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
