How lucky!

Most of us take forgrented how good we have it.  We go to work each day, maybe go out to eat at lunch, stop at a store sometimes and buy a drink.  All of which is a luxury!!   In some places in the world you are treated like an animal just because of who your parents are or to what caste you belong to.  It breaks my heart to see others being treated this way.  It breaks my heart even more to know that we sit here and do nothing while this is happening not only in india, but so many other countries.  what will it take for us as christians to drop to our knees and pray for these situations that happen all the time!  what will it take for us as gods hands and feet to rise up and do something?  We have been given much in this country...will we give back to those who so despritly need it?!



The fields are ripe for harvest...but where are the workers?



Matthew 9:35-38

New International Version (NIV)

The Workers Are Few

35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

treatment of low caste people

treatment of low caste children

Lord i drop to my knees and pray for you to do a mighty thing in india.  i pray for you to do a mighty thing in the middle east.  I pray for your grace and mercy to fall on these people.  I pray that others that would call themselves christians would humble themselves and pray.  i pray that out of our abbundance we have been blessed with, that we would do all we are able to do!  I pray we as christians would be a light to those who only know darkness.

in his holy name i pray,

amen

death couldn't hold him down!

They falsely accused him...mocked him...tried him...beat him...nailed him to the tree...



Luke 24

New Living Translation (NLT)

The Resurrection

24 But very early on Sunday morning[a] the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. They found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. So they went in, but they didn’t find the body of the Lord Jesus. As they stood there puzzled, two men suddenly appeared to them, clothed in dazzling robes.
The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee, that the Son of Man[b] must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that he would rise again on the third day.”
Then they remembered that he had said this. So they rushed back from the tomb to tell his eleven disciples—and everyone else—what had happened. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and several other women who told the apostles what had happened. 11 But the story sounded like nonsense to the men, so they didn’t believe it. 12 However, Peter jumped up and ran to the tomb to look. Stooping, he peered in and saw the empty linen wrappings



the chief preiests thought they had rid themselves of him for good...little did they know that no tomb ever made could hold him!  Some might wonder what any of this has to do with them...I say everything!  He was sent here to free everyone from their bondage to sin, he was sent so that none of us would have to die, he was sent for you and for me!  It doesn't matter who you are, where you live in the world, god loves us all.  He hung on the tree while we were yet sinners.  He Triumphed over sin!

 Lord I am so thankful that the grave couldn't hold you down!  I am so thankful that the grave couldn't hold you down!  I pray for all those in my circle of influence, i pray that you would meet them where they are.  I pray that you would make my flame so bright that they couldn't help but come to you!

all this i pray in you name
amen

hillsong - shout unto god
all i need is you
