Hearing of the Word Now

The Lord used me today to be a doer today and not just a hearer only today.

I went downtown to minister at Urban Man Ministries to the homeless and meet a man named Shalom (peace), he is a reformed Muslim. Anyone he serves and ministers for the ministry although he is homeless himself. The Holy Spirit used me to minister love to him today, daddy's love and told him that if He had the faith of a mustard seed that God could provide the home he needed so desperately.

You see, he was just released from Grady on yesterday after being diagnosed with a Chronic illness and knew he could not weather the streets of Atlanta. He told me that he had not eloquent prayers and sometimes he really didn't know what to say.

Say Jesus, just say Jesus ~ there is something about His name. There is power in his name, there is deliverance in His name, there is healing in His name. So we started to say Jesus, Jesus, Jesus and the father dispatched angels....

We experienced body ministry and I told him that daddy was waiting with that robe and ring and was prepared to kill the fatted calf for him. What a glorious time it was in the parking lot in downtown Atlanta today.

Well, I told him that every morning when the sun rises it speaks to my spirit that although we may be homeless or looking at evictions or foreclosures or repossessions, that today, right now God could change that circumstance instantly by His spirit.

Every new sunrise represents new mercies, new anointing, new chances and new opportunities. I watched his face light up as God gave him hope to believe that all things really are possible.

It is not by our might or by our power but by His spirit.

If I was not there, I would have a hard time believing this, but I want you to know that a ministry couple came up and started to talk to the Pastor Fishman and the other ministers because the other 100 homeless men and women had dispersed after they had eaten.

This couple, founders of Fragment Ministries, Gerald and Paula Cloud had a home for this man, and all they required was that he was willing to do the work of the ministry and study the bible one hour a day. Ironically, when I asked him earlier what he really wanted to do with his life, he said, I just want to serve God. He went on to tell me about his past and I told him that all of that was put to death on the cross. The unfailing love of God endures forever....

Glory to God, Shalom is off the street and in a clean safe comfortable environment.

WE serve a God who is a ever present time in a time of trouble! He knows our uprising and down-sitting and He cares about us, each of us! WE are daddy's favorite. So, as we are lead by the spirit, we never know when or where we can be His hands and feet in the earth!

He is just looking for us to be doers of the word ~ I am glad to be in His service, what a honor it is to serve you, Abba Father!

If you have a response, please put comment on my blog-spot for an interactive response for the body of Christ to share!

I believe that the Lord is calling the church to get off the pews and start exercising and being the word made flesh!

What is in your spirit!
