Father God, let whoever reads this learn to know their limitations and give You all the glory for what they can do in Christ’s Precious Name Amen.
Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do, living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you. But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
1 Peter4:1-5
So, this one day I was working with Kathy. We had a flood. This damaged a lot of people’s homes. Through our church we had our prayer team at Woodlands Church and with Franklin Graham. We all went out to the sites where they were gutting out flood homes and they had teams doing this. They were doing this to help people out. They were tearing down walls and all kinds of work was going on. So, we prayed for homeowners. But then we didn’t have nothing else to do. So, Kathy said let’s ask them if they need help. So, we talked to Denise, and she said sure we can use all the help we can possibly find. This was such an experience. This is the will of God for us to help the less fortunate. While the time and talents are free to give of yourself. There is a lot of money that needs to be put into materials and stuff to do the job. This is where the tiding comes in through the church. The money that comes in the church is used to help the less fortunate and run the church. Can you imagine in the olden days? People had church outside till they had enough money to start building. Churches don’t build themselves. It takes the will of God to accomplish His church through all believers. Can’t build a home for your family without money. It takes a lot of dedication and hard work. I have seen the elderly gut out flood homes. Children and the Pastors and their families. It takes love to build life together.
I heard someone say. All that church does is sell books etc. I say hey! Do you know what all it takes to write a book? Don’t knock it till you have written one yourself. People are going to have opinions. It is God’s deal to straighten them out. Not mine! I just pray for them from my heart and move on. Same with sin. We see sin in others. We pray for them. We hate the sin and love the sinner.
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, I thank You and praise You that all will fall into the hands of the living God. It is terrible to realise that those who have not accepted Your offer of salvation and trusted Christ for the forgiveness of sins, will one day stand before You to give a full account of themselves. Give me a heart for the less fortunate and lost. I believe, and ask You fill me with compassion for those that malign and abuse me for Your sake. Guide me to show the love of Jesus to those who persecute the church and enable me to share the gospel of grace to everyone, knowing that Your blood was shared for everyone for the remission of sins and life everlasting. I thank You and praise You for the wonderful example of Christ Jesus my Lord Who came to earth to identify with my sin and suffered in the flesh on my account so that I might be saved by faith in His sacrificial work on the Cross. I am believing that this also will be opened to someone who does not know You and they will embrace Your love for them that is eternal in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
