Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in

Luk 14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

Good Morning dear friends, what an enjoyable evening we (church members) had last night. We gathered together at the church and went Christmas caroling to the silver saints and a few others. The smiles of those precious people when they opened up their doors and saw all of us standing there, and when we broke out in song. I hope and pray that when I reach an age that I may not always be able to make it into the church house that there will be the heart of those left in the church to come visit with me. What a joy to uplift the spirits of those dear people. Also I forgot to mention in yesterday's post that there was one SAVED during Wednesday nights service. Unfortunately I was on the road and just was able to squeeze into service right at the end when there was some good old fashioned shoutin for the Lord. This brings me to a point and thought about all that has been going on in the past two days, the Bible speaks about visiting the sick, and the poor, this is something that a lot of folks are leaving out nowadays. I praise God for our Pastor who still remembers what his Bible says and encourages us to get out in to the highways and hedges that the Lords house may be full. Please pray alongside of us as the soul that was saved needs some prayers answered. What a victory over Satan when we can see Jesus cleanse them and make them whole and secure their salvation. Friend this past week has been hard on me personally and some decisions had to be made, however I praise God that I didn't have to go through it alone, the Bible says as Jesus was speaking He gave this promise..I will never leave you or forsake you. Friend if your in need of talking to someone that sticketh closer than a brother then I encourage you to talk to Jesus, as the old hymn says "what a friend we have in Jesus". Dear reader what would our church houses be like if it were just a holding tank for saved folks? Don't get me wrong I love the fellowship with the saints and nothing goes better in my life than when I am around my spiritual family, but how it makes me want to shout for glory when we are able to go out and see people come in from off the streets, listen to the Word of God, and get SAVED. I'm getting so fired up thinking about people getting saved that I want to run out into my warehouse and shout right now. Friend if you don't know who Jesus is, or about His atonement for our sins, then I am praying for you today, that you might come to know Jesus as your Savior and you can rejoice with me as I rejoice with the saints. To God be the glory great things He hath done.
