The Joy Of Serving The Lord
So many seeds were planted and lives were changed because God opened the doors. The Lord has done great things through me simply because I was willing and open to His counsel.

I want to share an awesome experience that I had tonight, while in the service of God. Some things happen by chance and other things happen because God wills it.
Paul said, “Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” It is true that when we abide in the love of God that our shield of faith is raised.
Your promises, Jesus, make me whole. I trust that You can do all things in my life. For you “restoreth my soul” and “leadeth me in the paths of righteousness.”
Preaching God’s word has helped grow my faith. Talking with others in the faith helped my love for God mature even more so.
This evening was surely a gift from God. Its purpose was to listen to others. Lend an ear and bear each other’s burdens.
Walking through the festival you could feel an eerie feeling inside. These people are truly in need of the Lord in their lives. They are so lost and don’t even realize it.
Even if one person’s life was given over to the Lord then there was victory. So many people’s lives were impacted tonight, one way or another, in so little time.
Each of us poured out our hearts to God. I thanked God for His mercy. I thanked the Lord for giving these people open hearts to talk to us.
As Keven and I were standing by this bar, a women was looking out the window from upstairs. Upon looking at her, I waved a gospel tract at her.
After this wonderful encounter, I had the privilege to pray with a gentlemen that has a concussion. He also didn’t have a Bible so I gave him one.
Our next home was Victor’s. Tonight we had Chase with us and he was excited to meet him. Upon knocking on the door, Victor came outside and was surprised to see us.
One gentlemen I spoke with was Don. We must have talked for about a half hour about Jesus. He is seeking the Lord and trying to break free of his smoking addiction.
The second experience was life changing. Upon knocking on Victor’s door we were delighted to introduce ourselves to him.
Next, I met a gentleman, named Don, that was sick of living a life alone from God. He had walked in sin long enough and wanted to make things right, once and for all.
As the service got over, many people came to speak to us. They said, how grateful they were for us coming. They asked where we came from and we said Boise.
As we walked back towards Temple Square we ended up seeing a lonely man at the entrance of the Temple Square. I could feel the Spirit telling us to talk with Him.
As the night went on we met many homeless that were ripe for the harvest and to receive Jesus. They were each going through hard times but knew that God could give them strength.
Know that if the Bible is teaching something contrary to your faith than there is something wrong with it and not the Book.
As our night continued, many people were prayed over. One man needed prayers for his wife that had cancer and himself who was sick.
After leaving the nursing home, I headed to downtown Boise to share the good news of Good Friday to the people.
Those in the faith of Jesus Christ are part of His body. We are all made up in the body of Christ and not a church building.
Continuing our walk this night, we stumbled upon this man who last week we prayed over his hand, since it was in a lot of pain.
We encouraged these people to go church and listen to what their friend has to say about Jesus. That He is the way and we are only His messengers.
We encouraged a group of teenagers to seek Jesus for He is the only way to salvation. There eyes were glued on us as they listened intently.
It surely was amazing to see so many people listen to the Word of God, this night. Near the crowds, in the line, was this homeless man who was willing to hear God’s Word.
I know the more I do things that God wills for me, the more souls will be won for Him. We must be willing to let the Holy Spirit do the speaking through us.
My heart is joyful for this opportunity to share the love of Jesus with my step mother and these two salesmen.
