Summer!!! Gospel!!

I am amazed at what God's doing in York, PA.
There have been several evangelistic organizations pop up and I've been blessed to be able to jump on board with them,  I just show up, evangelize, and help clean up.  God has been gracious to make the events a success.

The first outreach was near Princess Street, not too far from Gus's bar, there is a parking lot.  As I was leaving the "block party" (Holy Ghost block party,) I noticed a coke machine behind a house and a little rest area.  I stopped to inquire what the building was, whether it was a store or what?  The guy out back said it's a recovery home!  Oh!  Awesome!  So, I shared my testimony and testified about the kingdom and power of God.  He's seen God work in his life, but wasn't sure about Jesus.  I was so excited that He wanted to know God and have a relationship with our Lord, and SAvior!! I thank God for the Gospel of the Kingdom, always willing to meet all our needs!!  (see 

Mat 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.)


The young man to whom I was ministering was intersted in finding a church.  The next thing ya know (a suddenly moment), another fellow shows up who attends a Bible believing church and invited the new guy to go along!   Thank you Jesus and Holy Spirit, my Helper!!

I'm consantly amazed at God's orchestration!  What an awesome Conductor we have---Author and Finisher of our Faith...continuing the Good Work He began!

I have so much more to tell...of the wonderful things God is doing in His kingdom right here on earth!   Right now, I must go pray some more...a lady just walked in ...needs prayer...(I'm at Panera..my favorite "date place with Jesus," although, He's with me everywhere.

Holy Spirit says, "do tell."   That makes me smile as I think of this:  "Go tell it on the mountains and everywhere, that Jesus Christ is Lord!"  Amen?  Selah.


Isa 44:23 Sing, O heavens; for Jehovah has done it. Shout, lower parts of the earth. Break out into singing, O mountains, O forest, and every tree in it. For Jehovah has redeemed Jacob, and glorified Himself in Israel.

So, I'm singing!!  lalalalala; Jesus is Lord and that makes it a good day!  Everyday!  Amen?

God bless you, my friends!

Isa 61:2  to preach the acceptable year of Jehovah and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;

Isa 61:3  to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the mantle of praise for the spirit of heaviness; so that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that He might be glorified.

Isa 61:4  And they will build the old wastes…

Amen!!!

Memorial Weekend--Baltimore Outreach

Testimony!!!  This weekend I celebrate and testify to 14 years sober, by the grace of God and all glory to Him, in Jesus Christ, our Savior!!  Happy Reb-birth day to me!!!  Thank to Jesus!

 At Baltimore, Davies Street, Code Blue Homeless Outreach
and Post Office Park with Bridgeway Church and Pastor Sharon:

Baltimore outreach was incredible!   Several people received prayer and were healed on Davies Street Saturday. 

We thank God for Kenny’s healing in Baltimore today!!  He was suffering from a low-back injury and God demonstrated His great love for Kenny today!  The Gospel came in Word and in Power!!

1Co 4:20  For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

Kenny was in awe of Almighty God who came to meet His need.  He almost turned me down when I asked him if he wanted prayer as he walked up with a cane and limp.  He said plenty of people had prayed for him before.  He goes to church and ….and then I told him God wants to heal him and started praying… fully believing God for the manifest presence of the Living God to show up and touch this man.  I told him that the prayer of faith WILL heal the sick (James 5:14) and(politely) took the liberty to lay hands on him.  (I think I asked permission again and he said ok.)

As Kenny lifted his head from prayer, tears were streaming down his face, his pain was gone, and his countenance was changed.  As he walked from the sidewalk to the street, he proclaimed, “Wow!  I wanna stay in that all the time…what great power…”  I told him as he abides in Christ he can walk in the presence of God all the time.

The greek word saved in James 5:14 is the same as  and it is in John 3:17, “sozo,” which means delivered, protected, healed, preserved, saved, to do well and be made whole.

Joh 3:17  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.

 The greek definition of sozo (G4982)--to save, that is, deliver or protect (literally or figuratively): - heal, preserve, save (self), do well, be (make) whole.

Yay!  Our amazing God showed up and and made Kenny well.  Many others received prayer, ice pops, and snacks at the homeless shelter in Baltimore.  All praise and glory to God in Christ Jesus for His great mercy, love, and grace towards these people.  Also, please pray for Larry who is deaf (currently.)  Others receiving prayer for jobs and housing, healing and God’s provision were:  Stephanie, Ty, Sydney, and Mariam. 

There’s more!  A lady at post office park mentioned how my eyes shine and I thanked her but also told her about the Light of God shining in our lives, to let our light so shine before men.  She loved the Truth and the Light, and thanked me for preaching the good news and for also sharing this Truth, the hope of glory for all men:

Mat 6:22  The light of the body is the eye. Therefore if your eye is sound, your whole body shall be full of light.

Mat 6:23  But if your eye is evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

Just after that  Word of Truth another young lady with a video camera started singing praises to God and the children joined in , therefore let us worship the King of Kings and Lord or Lords, Jesus, who loved us and died for us; Let us worship Him in Spirit and Truth.  Amen.

Let us also give thanks to the Holy One, our Lord Jesus Christ, for answered prayer and for meeting the needs of His beloved children In Baltimore, those who seek after Him.  We thank God in Christ Jesus for restoring them to right relationship with God, the Father.   We thank God for good news: freedom for the captive, deliverance from evil, and the healing power of Jesus Christ.  All glory to God.  Amen.  Blessings  to you, in Christ and love in our Lord.

Baltimore

I love…I love Your presence, (God!)

God shows up at Davies Street:

The last saturday of every month I go to Baltimore to meet Janet.  She is such a pleasure to work with in outreach, an amazing woman of God, on fire, preaching the gospel daily.

Last month we joined Bridgeway Church in Essex Baltimore to bless the Code Blue Homeless Shelter in Baltimore.  We took water, clothing and bath supplies.  Janet’s daughter, Destiny, and her boyfriend’s mom joined us.  We were blessed to touch lives.   A man in a wheelchair, Kenny received pray for healing.  He’s blind, but he sees (spiritually!)  He loves to worship Jesus and the presence of God was heavy on him.

I met a young man, “Alexandra,” who was born male and thinks that he’s female.   He’s planning to marry Mr. Brown.  I called him Alex.  He received prayer and truth.  He read the Word of Truth himself, plus admits that he was born male.  The seeds are planted.  We trust the Lord to send water, increase, and break-through for Alex (1 Corin 3:6).

We thank God for healing Jen who is due to have her baby any day now. (2 weeks later, here's the update:  she had a baby girl!!)  Janet’s been working with Jen for over a year, now and Jen has had great success recovering from her addiction.  Glory to God Most High!

Many others received Truth and prayer.  God will continue the good work He began.  We prayed for jobs and homes.  Here are a few others to keep in prayer:   Timothy, Cheryl, and RoseAnne.  We love God who loves perfectly.   We thank God for His provision and answered prayers, for His heart of compassion for his people, and for the Good News of Jesus Christ.    Thank you Father; Thank you Lord Jesus Christ.

It was a successful day and successful weekend.  All glory to Him who gives us everything we need to carry out the ministry through Christ Jesus.

1Pe 4:11  If anyone speaks, let it be as the words of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as of the ability which God gives, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory, and the might forever and ever. Amen.

One House Standing!!

ONE HOUSE STANDING:

Tuscaloosa, ALA.

At Mardi Gras, I met a guy who told me how he rebukes the storm and it obeys.   So, a few Wednesdays ago, I felt this terrible anxiousness in my heart and spirit.  I kept praying against it and it wouldn’t go away.   A few hours later, I talked to John, my friend from Albama (the guy who rebukes the storm…)  He says, Oh!  My sister lives in Tuscaloosa and a tornado is headed that way---let’s pray!  So, we prayed.  He rebuked the storm…. We kept praying….(even after we hung up the phone from our conversation.)   Later that evening, we chatted.  John said, Hey did I tell ya about my sister? (I’m waiting with baited breath.)  No!  What happened?  Well, she had to walk home from work the destruction was so bad that she couldn’t get within two miles of her house.   As she walked, the elementary school was down, and the strip mall was down (“flat on the ground”.)   Every house in her neighborhood was down, except one.  One house standing---Lisa’s house was standing alone, unscathed in a totally destroyed neighborhood.   God had mercy.   Of course, I’m hooting at this point, “Glory to God!  Praise God!  He heard your prayer!”

The next day, after talking to his sister, John said, Hey…did I tell ya?   Lisa’s husband was in the basement when the storm hit!  He was an unbeliever!  (I’m thinking..not anymore!  He saw the hand of God!  How can you deny that…that God spared him, that God saved him?!)  How can you NOT believe when terror strikes a whole town and yours is the only house standing?!  God is amazing—obviously powerful.   And He is alive!  He hears the prayer of the righteous man.  He heeds the cry of His children.  And He IS wonderfully, merciful and loving, God.  Here is account of Jesus, the Son of God and His great power, and  how His followers stand in awe of Him:

“LET US PASS OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE”

Mar 4:35  And evening having come, He said to them on that day, Let us pass over to the other side.

Mar 4:36  And when they had sent away the crowd, they took Him with them as He was in the boat. And there were also other little boats with Him.

Mar 4:37  And there arose a windstorm, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was now full.

Mar 4:38  And He was in the stern of the boat, asleep on a headrest. And they awakened Him and said to Him, Master, do You not care that we perish?

Mar 4:39  And He awakened and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace! Be still! And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

Mar 4:40  And He said to them, Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?

Mar 4:41  And they feared exceedingly and said to one another, What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?

Pro 10:25  As the storm passes, so the wicked is no more; but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

Psa 107:29  He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.

(Knowing the terror of the Lord, we persuade men…2 Corin 5:1)
