After 40 days, you will not want to stop meditating on God's Word as you will have experienced God in so many ways that you will be less than satisfied if you do not meet with Him everyday for the rest of your life.

If you ask me to pray for you, this is one of the scriptures that I will be praying:

Ephesians 3:14-21 (New Living Translation)

Paul’s Prayer for Spiritual Growth

¹⁴ When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father,

¹⁵ the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.

¹⁶ I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.

¹⁷ Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.

¹⁸ And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.

¹⁹ May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

²⁰ Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

²¹ Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.

Thanks to Rick and Wendy for sharing the Emergency Telephone Numbers with me.  Love you guys!

In Christ Jesus our Lord, we are so blessed.

"Share Jesus Now - Be Bold"

by Dr. Jack Graham

"Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person." --Colossians 4:5-7

God has called every Christian to share Jesus...and you and I must embrace that responsibility to personally share the Good News one-on-one with our friends and family members who don't know Him.

But the sad and tragic fact is that most Christians never lead another soul to Christ. For instance, when was the last time you individually shared Christ with someone else? How many people are going to be in heaven because you cared and because you dared to share the gospel?

Let's take a look at Psalm 126, verses 5 and 6: "Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him."

Let me break this down into three parts for you: task, tears, and treasure. Our task is bringing people to Jesus. The psalmist is saying in verse 5 that sharing Jesus Christ is like planting a crop. And the only way to plant this crop is by sharing Christ personally with someone else. This is our task; this is our priority as followers of Jesus.

Next is our tears. Great men of God have always wept tears over the "lostness" of people. In Romans 9:2-4, Paul says "I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart...for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh. They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises." What drove Paul was his deep burden because people are lost without Jesus Christ. This burden should continue to drive us today. And our concern for those lost around us should drive us to tears.

Then, finally, there's our treasure, for it says in Psalm 126:6, "He who goes out weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him." The seed is the Word of God, and if we're faithful to take the Word of God to people, it's the Spirit's responsibility to drive it home to their hearts. We don't win people to Christ by our theories or opinions. We bring people to Jesus Christ by the seed of the Word of God.

I pray you will care enough...to dare to share the Gospel with someone you know today!

BE COURAGOUS ENOUGH TO SHARE THE GOSPEL WITH SOMEONE IN YOUR LIFE TODAY!

It seems like people are going out of their way to get God out of our culture. Not only do they want to elevate perversion, but they want to demote God. They want Him out of the picture-out of everything for that matter. This can be very discouraging to us as Christians. We can be tempted to think, Well, really there is no hope. There is nothing the church can do and there is certainly nothing that I can do. But I want you to know that is simply not true. "The Courage to Stand" Greg Laurie, A NEW BEGINNING

You have been saved out of the world and then sent back into the world to witness to the world, and that's the only business in the world you have in the world, till you're taken out of the world! Now, let me give you four rules for witnessing to those with whom you work. "Witnessing At Work" Dr. Adrian Rogers, LOVE WORTH FINDING

The Holy Spirit gives us power to be a witness. There is something beyond even living a life of integrity. There is a supernatural, captivating element when a person is filled with the Holy Spirit that makes the witness of the gospel even more inescapable. "The Comforter" Bayless Conley, ANSWERS WITH BAYLESS CONLEY

So often we are rather brisk and even crude in our witnessing. Because we find it difficult, generally when we do it we are very amateurish. We do it so abruptly and in such a way that often it offends people. We need to be led by the Spirit of God. "The Ride of a Lifetime" Dr. J. Vernon McGee, THRU THE BIBLE

Ask God to help you share and may the Lord richly bless you!
