Fishers Of Men


Did you know that a fishing net 

bundled up on the shoreline or 

on the docks is really of no use?




Reminder......

Jesus said to His followers....

You are now fishers of men.




 So, it is time to prepare for the great catch.

Make sure your nets are mended 

and then launch them
 
into the deep and....

......go fishing!

The Gospel Is Good News

 



“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭61:1-3‬


John 14:7

 



God does not appear once or 
twice during a storm of life to keep you. 
God is there every single minute, every day!  
He offers us hope in impossible situations,
 rooted not in circumstances, but in Christ alone.
Today, Lord Jesus, please hear the cries of those struggling!
Comfort the weary and the fearful. 
Come alongside those who desperately need your intervention, your companionship, and your guidance.
 Be their refuge and strength. 
Make your presence known. 
Encourage them today, 
and in the weeks and months to come, 
as only You can. 
Help them to run to Your arms of love. 
Amen.

America

 


"A beautiful tradition of America was set by our foregathers. Among our forefathers were two kinds of people. One kind came to this land seeking wealth, the other came seeking God and freedom. If the former had become the mainstream of America, there would have been far greater strife, division and struggle between the different races and national groups. The United States would have been filled with unrighteousness and injustice. From the beginning, however, God intervened.



But blessings never come alone; they come with responsibility.
If one forsakes responsibility, one also forsakes God’s blessing. Inevitably the blessings of God will leave, and the nation doing this will decline. Is it not true that the signs of such decline are already apparent in America today?

God is the motivation, the cause and the foundation of the independence of America. America was born through the Providence of God. If we are centered upon God, we will remain united and enjoy prosperity. However, as soon as we turn away from God, we as a nation will be divided.

If America wants to keep the blessing of God as the leading nation of the world, it must form a partnership with God.
**God is the cement. With God, America will stay together like concrete. But if God leaves, she will become like sand. When the flood comes, all will be washed away.

In the early 1960s, America seemed to be the hope of the world, and the symbol of America was the city of New York. Today, however, the world has lost faith in America, and New York has become a jungle of immorality and depravity. It has been transformed into a city under the attack of evil. Chicago is no different, nor Los Angeles. Throughout all of America, Satan is becoming the master. God has been forgotten in this country, and if forgotten, God can only leave America. Now is the very moment that this is taking place!
If you allow God to leave America, however, this nation will decline; it will be subjugated by satanic hands. When this happens, the future of America will be tragic and dismal.
America will become a living hell.



When God’s blessing is great, and one forsakes God’s will, God’s punishment is equally great.
When the unifying force of God leaves America, nothing will be able to hold America together. The family will break down; churches will divide, and America will become mortally ill because the cells of her body are decaying. This will be the perfect opportunity for the evil of communism (and socialism) to overtake America.
This state of emergency is here now.
Someone must do something!
We need a spiritual revolution."
