BENCHWARMER OR STARTER
There is something that I would like to share with you before I teach. I feel compelled by the Lord to make a change in ministry at this time.
Many of you know my testimony. I was healed of an incurable case of Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue/Rebound Migraine Headaches. I would have a dozen or more things wrong with me for over 10 years. God mercifully healed me and showed me how Divine Healing works. This is functioning in my life and has hundreds of times. I have been able to pray for a few and see miracles too.
Almost a year ago, I nearly died. I ended up in the hospital for 21 days with 9 days be intubated. I was over a hundred pounds overweight and has 17% heart function with double pneumonia. I had a food addiction for 35 years. God showed me a Bible Promise to stand on and, in the hospital, and it just broke. I have now lost about 85 pounds with more to go and it will. My heart will be totally healed and recovered soon, and I will go off all medical help. If you think I am bragging, I am not. If I could have done this by willpower alone; don’t you think I would have in the previous 35 years.
It was a GOD THING. Yet I had to learn how the promise worked and enforce it with simple child-like faith.
I have been teaching on Facebook Live each Tuesday for over 2 years. I was born to do this. I loved it. I have about 135 video and written teaching on FB and my website. A couple of months ago; I lost my joy in doing the broadcast. I couldn’t figure out why at first. Then God showed me. It was because I needed to take the next step. I will discontinue my weekly program on Facebook Live at the end of the month. I am finishing what I call kits (Promises/Divine Healing/Addictions/Boldness and Power/Witnessing & Discipleship). They are concise teaching on each area.
I found myself being frustrated due to the lack of response. So, I believe God wants me to try a different approach. I want to be more effective. So, for me the next step is Witnessing and Divine Healing plus other areas (either home visits or Messenger Video Chat). John G. Lake; probably the most effective man with a healing ministry in the last 100 plus years. He had men and women who would go to people’s bedsides and stay there until they were healed. They would invest the time teaching and praying with the person one-on-one till they were able to receive.
So, starting in November, I am available for ongoing ministry in this area. If you live in the Alexandria, MN area. I will be glad to come to you (provision must be made if it is a single female-for obvious reasons). If you aren’t a local person; then God has put on my heart to use Facebook Messenger Video Chat. It doesn’t matter what is wrong with you: cancer; heart disease; paralysis, etc. I’m not afraid to tackle it and certainly my sponsor God isn’t. Just to let you know I won't ask you to go off your meds and of course it is a free gift. God healed me and I just want to see you healed!
I will also be going to a neighboring town first to learn how to witness and share my faith by putting it into practice. I will start this at the end of October. At heart I am a wimp; but thanks be to God; with him I have become a warrior. Only 2% (2 out of 100 witness regularly in America). I am 61 years old. It only has taken me 43 years as a Christian to do it. But with the help and boldness of the Holy Spirit I will!
I am very excited about this shift in ministry. The best way I can describe this is by this. I am going to devote all my energies to this shift in ministry. I will still be available through Facebook Messenger and through the Contacts Forms on my Website and Facebook Ministry Page if you need to get ahold of me for ministry or any reason.
I am going to devote all my energies to this shift in ministry. I have two more messages that I will be teaching on Discipleship/Witnessing in the form of Kits. I will be finishing up my Tuesday nights FB Live Ministries in 2 weeks at the end of October. I will still be available through Facebook Messenger and through the Contacts Forms on my Website and Facebook Ministry Page. I will be updating my Website with current teachings.
BENCHWARMER OR STARTER
1. The Stakes
Matthew 9:35-38 (ESV)
35 And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction.
36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
Matthew 22:37-40 (ESV)
37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
38 This is the great and first commandment.
39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew 4:17 (ESV)
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
John 3:16-18 (ESV)
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
2. Bloody Hands
Ezekiel 3:16-21 (ESV)
16 And at the end of seven days, the word of the LORD came to me:
17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me.
18 If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.
19 But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul.
20 Again, if a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits injustice, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because you have not warned him, he shall die for his sin, and his righteous deeds that he has done shall not be remembered, but his blood I will require at your hand.
21 But if you warn the righteous person not to sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning, and you will have delivered your soul.”
3. The Call
Matthew 4:17 (ESV)
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Mark 16:15-20 (ESV)
15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.
16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
18 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs.
There is a song that I wrote several years ago. The lyrics seem appropriate so I will share them with you now.
(CHORUS)
HOW LONG WILL WE WAIT?
BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
EACH CHANCE THAT PASSES BY
WE MAY NOT GET ANOTHER TRY
HOW LONG
WILL WE WAIT?
HOW LONG WILL WE WAIT?
WE’VE TURNED NOW FROM THEIR CRYS
AND ONLY CARE ABOUT OUR LIVES
HOW LONG
WILL WE WAIT?
The message is clear
Sadly, we care more about our fears
Then about their unseen tears
How long will wait?
Is it alright?
For us
To have all the food
While they are starving too
Will someone please do
What God has called us to?
Like a firefighter rushing in
Our words could save them
From their sins
So, when will we begin
To help them now to enter in
So! Will you be one of the laborers Jesus talked about? (join the 2%)
