Admin	"Have you seen Jesus" Posted : 25 Apr, 2011 09:42 AM This weekend was Awesome�Attended Church 2nd service�Had to park out of the Facility and walk in�kind of reminded me of Jesus & Family walking up to Jerusalem to make their offerings on the appointed days of the Feasts�The Church was packed a Full House�with the overflow in the Foriar and adjoining buildings with Live Feed form the Service�Presented was the History of the Progress of Christianity�even mentioned was Martin Luther & John Calvin for their attempt to Right the Wrongs of the Catholic Church�A Choir was present and sang Old Time Hymns even one from Martin Luther and one in Latin�it was absolutely Spectacular and Amazing�Of course the Message was about What Jesus did for All of Us�But�Something was Missing�I couldn�t put my Finger on it So-To-Speak�Before the Alter Call was given�the congregation was asked to take the Rice Paper Cross that was placed on each seat�to write on it something that you struggle with�Anything� and after the Alter Call to place it in the Fountains of Living Water�1 inside and 3 outside in the front court yard�the Paper Cross would Dissolve in the water.�Many people wrote Fear, Broken Heart, Anger, Depression, Love, Money�I was Watching all the Children of God participating in this Symbolic Petition & Action�But�there was Still Something Missing�I began to search my self for Something to Write upon the Rice Paper Cross�A Lady asked if it made any difference which fountain she placed Her Rice Paper Cross in�Inside or Outside Fountains ???�I Smiled and Out of my mouth came��It don�t make no nevermind as long as it Comes from your Heart�Its Symbolic�She placed her Rice Paper Cross in the Fountain and Walked away�[Alone]�I continued to search my Self for what to Write�I couldn�t write Fear�for the LORD has Replaced that with Courage�I couldn�t write BrokenHeart for He has Filled mine to Over Flowing�I couldn�t write Anger, Depression for He has Shown me that these are Just Emotions & are Not Truth in Love�I couldn�t write Money�for it is not Money that the LORD Jesus wants or wants for us�I Know in my Heart of Hearts that what He wants is Us to Have Fellowship with Him and One to Another�to be Obedient and to Love Unconditionally�What I Wrote was�Willingness to Follow You�I Placed it in the Inside Fountain and Walked Away [Alone]�Still there Was Something Missing� Later that Evening I received a TXT Msg inviting me to a Celebrate Recovery service�For those that don�t know what that is�It is a Service Geared for People in Recovery from All Addictions and Based on the 12 step Program of Alcoholics Anonymous taken from the Beatitudes in the Bible�Dinner at 6pm�Service at 7pm�A Special Message and Recovery Group Meeting to Follow at 8 pm until when ever�I went as the invitation came from a Brother I hadn�t seen in some time�The Service was very small�maybe 25 people including the Pastor and His wife�The Message delivered by my Brother in Christ Jesus was �Have you seen Jesus�???��Do you Want to See Jesus�???�Because like Doubting Thomas so Many Christians have a Deep Need To See to Believe�They Accept Christ Jesus and are Left to Wallow in Their Walk�with No Direction, No Guidance, No Encouragement�We are Taught to �Believe and We Walk by Faith not by Sight��But how do We Do This ???�I�m going to Show you How.� It IS the Most Powerful Sermon I have to this day ever Witnessed�In Closing�Brother asked��Do you All want to See Jesus�???�Well of course everyone was very quite�He asked��Today�this day�Has Anyone of you Spoke an Encouraging Word to Another ? Stand Up !�I stood up as well as a couple others�again he asked��Has Anyone of you Gone Out of Your Way to Help Someone Today just Because ? Stand Up !�Has Anyone of You Told Someone About Jesus and What He Did for You and Countless Others ? Stand Up !�Has Anyone of You Forgiven Someone for Anything They Did ? Stand Up !�Has Anyone of You Told Someone That You Love Them Just as They Are�Good, Bad, Ugly ???�Stand UP !�Now Turn and Look !!!"�We were ALL Standing�You Have Just Seen Jesus !!!�We will not Bring You to Him and Let You Be Lost�We will Show You How We Do This�I Promise You�The Lord Jesus will Not Lose You Out of His Hand�and Neither Will We��Prayer was Given and Alter Call done...3 people came to the LORD Jesus...Praise God !!! That�s What Was Missing in the Other Service !!!!�The True Teaching Passed Down from One Disciple to Another�Taking a Person Under the Teaching�Not leaving Them to Wallow in Confusion [Alone]...�Have You Seen Jesus��GOD Bless and Hava GOD Holy Spirt Filled Day and Know that YOU are Loved & Not [Alone]� ;-)...xo Post Reply
