SET THEM FREE, LORD!
This is our cry for freedom for those we've been meeting on the streets. Some confess to be “fences sitting,” for whom we encouraged to get off the fence, which belongs to the devil! Cross over to the other side!
Praise God, a young couple to whom we ministered in Westminster have been seeking the Lord and have been blessed by it. Leroy and Kris are a young couple with a baby. They've found a church and jobs. Praise the Lord! We're still praying for their own place to live, knowing God will provide.
Here are a few Scriptures that Gideon and I have felt compelled to share on the streets.
Seek first the kingdom of God and all His righteousness and all these thing will be added unto you (Matt 6:33).
re: Christ, the Word:
John 1:12 ...as many as received Him, He gave to them authority to become the children of God, to those who believe on His name.
Zechariah 4:6... Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says Jehovah of Hosts.
Hebrews 3:8 Do not harden your heart as you did in the rebellion, when they tested me...
I had heard some bad news about some guys on Chestnut Street, so we prayed diligently all week for an opportunity to minister to them and for freedom for them. We see the progress. Lionel's been struggling with alcoholism for many years, but after several hours of ministry he's committed to getting detoxed and into rehab. So, we're praying for the mighty hand of God to strengthen him and deliver him. We know God can. Amen! Please keep praying for rehab for him.
On Maple Street, a young pregnant girl wants free from cigarettes. Another receives healing for a knee injury and we're praying for her grandmother with Alzheimer's, Esperanza. We're making good connections there with the Spanish-speaking community and hope to have help translating the Gospel message. Perhaps Luz (whose knee was healed) and Angel will join our team.
