SignUp Now!In 2013, i pass out. I thought i wont be alive today. I was rushed to the hospital, i had a surgery done and today i cant even find the surgery mark.
My Sister spreading the word of the kingdom is what Jesus called us to do. the rest is called personal projects.Well, two and a half months ago the Lord moved me and my husband to a new location. This was not with a job, but totally a God-move. I knew God was sending me here to share his gospel and his love with the people here, so I have been praying about how to get out and meet the people of this community. I was reminded to do a search to see if they had a Newcomer's Club (women only), and they did, so I signed up. I went to a general meeting last week, and today I went to a ladies' luncheon, not knowing what to expect. So, I prayed that the Lord would prepare the way, and that he would place me next to the women with whom he wanted me to chat, and I believe he did.
He placed me between two women who are both atheists and who are humanist celebrants, i.e. who perform or make arrangements for non-religious wedding ceremonies. So, I also prayed that God would direct the conversation and that he would open the way for me to share him, and he did. They had asked me why we moved here, and I told them I was a Christian, and that God had sent me here, so they ended up asking me questions about my beliefs and practices, and so I answered them, and they, in turn, shared their beliefs with me. It was a friendly talk, and I enjoyed getting to know these women. I liked them a lot. And, I think they liked me, too, even though we did not believe the same.
One of the women asked me what I was the most passionate about, and I said, "Jesus Christ, and that he died on a cross for our sins so that we could go free from sin and from slavery to sin," etc. She didn't want me to be concerned over her soul, so I told her that if I liked her, which I did, but that if she was in a burning building, and I did not call out to her to get out (or to take the way out), then I wouldn't really like her, would I? Anyway, I told her I would pray for her, and I hope we have the opportunity to talk again sometime.
And, I am praying about more ways to get out into the community to meet and talk with people, to get to know them, and to be able to share the love of Jesus with them in pure love and concern for them as individuals and in concern for their eternal destiny, too, basically to walk the walk that Jesus walked in how he ministered to people on a daily basis. He cared about them and their needs and their hurts but he also knew what they needed most, and so he shared that with them, because he loved them, and he knew what was best for them.
We thanks God for you and I also finished a 13 days prayer without food and my wife cooked a delicious food for me but before that I hate orange to cut my fast. I started filling a strong pain in my chest AND THE lORD SAID I MUST TAKE HOLY COMMUNION. THE PAIN WAS SO EXCRUCIATING THAT I WENT TO PHARMACY AND BOUGHT SOME MEDECINE WITHOUT DOING WHAT THE LORD SAID TO DO.In 2013, i pass out. I thought i wont be alive today. I was rushed to the hospital, i had a surgery done and today i cant even find the surgery mark.
