A lot of Miles with the Lord

What an awesome weekend! Friday I arrived in South Bend and it was on. Pastor Terry drove me around to show me different places RAVEN Mid West ministers. What an area RAVEN MW has to cover. After the tour it was time to go to work. We went to a place called Louie’s and hung out in the parking lot, taking the gospel to whoever came near our pulpit.

De 11:24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours:

We ministered to over a hundred lost souls. Many people told us they were serving the Lord and as we spoke the word of the Lord to them the conviction set in. Many walked as fast as they possibly could to get away from the sword.

Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any
two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and
intents of the heart.

Some were stopped in their tracks. A Hispanic guy walked by and I asked him if he knew Jesus Christ. The Spirit came upon him and he was frozen. He told me he could not really speak English, I told him I really couldn't speak spanish. The Lord gave me the words in Spanish that he needed to hear.

John 14:10 "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me?
The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the
Father who dwells in Me does the works.

The words the Lord gave me pierced his heart. He didn’t know what happened to him. He looked light a deer in headlights. As a began to speak the Gospel to him he said, “I want that.” He then gave his life to the Lord.

Saturday, we woke up and hit it once again. Pastor Terry took me to breakfast at six mile curve, which is in an Amish community. This was interesting to me as this is the first time I have ever experienced the Amish. And just goes to prove there are lost souls everywhere, not just going to strip clubs or liquor establishments. There are lost souls working the farm land of Indiana. With that said there are even lost souls sitting next to you in church living the religious life being pew warmers.

Why is it so hard for people, Jesus hung on the Cross for our sins and people can't live their lives sold out for him? I always hear that lame excuse, "Thats not my calling," That is EVERYONES calling. Its called being SAVED. I guess everything the devil put in their lives is more important than serving The LORD, the Alpha and Omega, Beginnning and The End.

Saturday night Pastor Troy and other RAVEN soldiers joined us in pushing the front lines back. I was able to speak at a church called EL Divino Redemor. The Lord had me share to them that they needed to set the standards. As Christian we need to set the standard the world lives by not the other way around.

John 17:16 "They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world”
Jer 50:2 Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard;

Sunday, Pastor Troy preached at the Potters House of Deliverance, in South Bend. The Lord brought the fire through PT. As soon as PT finished Preaching it was off to Chi town in a RAVEN caravan. I was able to fellowship with Pastor Lance (PSP), Leigh, and the boys. I had never really been able to spend time with them until the trip. They are awesome people and I Love Them. I Think the Twins need to move to Albuquerque and join RAVEN SW. That would be great.
Pastor Troy preached at a church in Chi town called Metro Praise. Once again the Lord showed up and showed out. What more could a Pastor asked for than a church of on fire teens and young adults that is what Pastor Joe has. After PT delivered the message of the Lord He called the RAVEN Elders up to Pray for who ever needed it. The only prayer request that anyone had was to be more radical for the Lord, How great is that. We left the church and went to eat.




After eating I went outside to get some air and a man walked by. I prayed Lord if you want me to talk to him stop him. I hadn’t even finished and the Lord stopped him. He turned and looked right at me, like you asked so come deliver the message. I walked up to him and introduced myself. His name was Johnny and he ask if I worked at the restaurant because he was hungry. I yelled to Pastor Terry and Pastor Troy overheard and came over and spoke the Gospel to Johnny. Johnny was and alcoholic and trapped by drugs. A pastor had mad promises to Johnny that would had probably turned out to be empty promises. PT told Johnny of the promise of eternal life.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Mt 10:39 "He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My
sake will find it.

Johnny took a knee right where he stood and gave his life to the Lord. When he got up he poured out his 40 of old e cuz he was representing GOD.

We returned to Pastor Terry’s house about 0330 and slept for a few hours. Monday morning we got out of bed and got ready for the day the Lord had made. We were to be on The Harvest Show at 0900, ya not a whole lot of sleep.

The Harvest Show was a great time to praise God. We were able to talk about the things the Lord had and was doing, that we had been part of. Until the show I never knew 1 person could talk for 9 min on one breath, but PT did it. (jk)

All I can say about all of this is I serve an awesome God and I thank you Father for letting me be part of your work. I praise your HOLY NAME LORD GOD.
