I have often advocated going out to the homeless and destitute and tonight I felt compelled to put it into action. I was disturbed by what happened. There is no doubt that it was a God thing.

I absolutely love hearing about occurences like yours! I have had them myself and they are precious to me! In my case, God usually uses ducks!!!

I'm still a little fuzzy about exactly what the message is in what you wrote. I could just be tired. I'm going to come back to this thread again very soon and reread it. I know there is a good message in it that I'm not quite getting right now.

I especially appreciate your admonition for Christians - and the lost - to WAKE UP! Jesus is returning for His bride and we MUST be prepared! I'm not saying that in an "end times-y" way. I can't quite explain how I mean it except to say that I have been getting the same message in my spirit lately. An increased sense of urgency, if you will. BIG TIME. My hunger for the Word has increased dramatically and I can't seem to put it down.

I'm grateful for your obedience to go out tonight, SuperJew. It's blessed me!

Thank both of you for your replies.

Keith, I know exactly what you mean. I am not into the "end times" at all and attempt to avoid it...however we must realize that Christ will come back...will we be ready?

How AWESOME it is to read of people reaching out to others in the NAME of JESUS!!! My sister VrJenny told me just this morning how she and her new husband VrSpock were driving and they saw this guy that had a sign that said something like 'HUNGRY AND BROKE' (sorry Jen if I mess it up, I should be in bed by now) and they were both used by the Lord to feed this man. The drove out of there way to go and buy the biggest Wendy's meal they could and gave it to the guy. What generosity of spirit is that!!

I love my Jen so much, she has such a spirit of Love in her, the Divine LOVE of Jesus Christ

It's interesting isn't it SJ? There's a whole new group of people with their eyes being opened to the Truth. Mine too! Who are finally willing to say that maybe, just maybe, we CANNOT see after all? I praise God for the fact that no matter who we are, churched or unchurched, we have to recognize what we have been blind to, and be willing to admit that we need to see.......that we have been blind.

In His Love,

Thank you for sharing this. May the love of the Lord Jesus go deep within our hearts.. that our hearts beat as His heart does.

Pray for one another.

Talk about a vision of the church in Laodicea!

It is sad how "church" is chartacterized by the building and not by the people; how congregating in pews and listening to a sermon on spiritual matters is considered "fellowship" rather than conversing with regards to these spiritual matters; how crossing every "t" and dotting every "i" in doctrine is considered more essential to the faith than living the Gospel.

An old song says, "They will know we are Christians by our love."

I have to ask, does this actually occur?
