Our God is Mighty to SAVE~

This morning was womens bible study at my church. Before we began the study we heard from 2 women who just returned from a Missions Trip to India. One leaving her husband and the other leaving everything she knows., to proclaim the name of Christ before thousands of people.
As I listened to their testimonies of the "thousands" 6000 to be exact of those who came forward to accept Jesus as Savior, I was blown AWAY~ WOW...these Indian people were THIRSTY and HUNGRY for the Word and the saving knowledge of Jesus.
As Jenny was speaking this morning, one women raised her hand and asked " When you say they came forward and accepted Christ, what exactly does that mean, they all denied themselves and admitted they were sinners and prayed the prayer?" Jenny replied "EXACTLY. When they GRASP something, they really understand what it means and go after it"
How often do we have the spirit of "disbelief"...Believing that "well maybe 2 or 4 people will accept Jesus in our church this year" Or are we even thinking about evangelism? Are we consumed with our "issues" and our "additions on our houses" or "our need for more?"
As I sat it my seat, I was praising the Lord for His redeeming work in these peoples lives. People that I can't see and probably will never meet this side of Heaven, but who will be rejoicing with me on Streets of Gold beside Crystal seas~
I also was thinking, here is a nation a country who is not bound by the enormous amounts of money they bring in weekly, or consumed by the need for "MORE" whatever, they are a nation that is "poor" and "poverty stricken" and can see PAST all the stuff, that we can't seem to see past, simply because they do not have it~ I was blown away and just so excited to hear the good news of these precious Indian people, coming to the SAVING KNOWLEDGE of JESUS~
Our GOD IS MIGHTY TO SAVE~

Hi Rebekah,

That is awesome. Just to think that so many come at once to the Savior. Just think of the feeding of the 5 thousand. You are right we have so much STUFF that we can't see the need for a Savior. I am so thankful that the Lord pricked my heart and I came to him just like the thousands in India.
Love you Mom
