Slaves of Christ Jesus

The Lord has put a burden on me to bring more Bibles to Guadalajara. I was looking on the internet about Bibles and Guadalajara and came upoun www.puregospeltruth.com This is an account of the ministry of Josif and Lima. They are American Christians ministering in Mexico and now stationed in Guadalajara. They are slaves of Jesus. Praise God. I knew God would raise someone up here who truly wants to bring the Word of God to the lost in this land. I originally thought I would be sending Bibles to Leon de Judah, but the Lord, as usual, had another plan. I contacted Josif by email and we met at the Degallado Theatre right next to the hostel. We went back to the hostel and they ministered to Miguel. Praise God. They also might use a room at the hostel for a Bible study. Whatever happens it was a real blessing meeting people who are completely sold out for the Lord. I hate being critical of Christians, when they are sincerely trying, but the self satisfaction of the Christians I have been meeting is discourageing. I think the main problem is they are not slaves of Christ and servants of the brethren. The Lord has shown me that no matter how anointed one might be that we should always be servants, willing to serve others, and consider others better than ourselves. As Paul ,after saving an entire shipful of people, because an angel appeared to him. In servitude he was gathering sticks for a fire when he was bitten by a snake and this led to him ministering to people on the island and performing miracles, so we should always be ready to serve others. How can we ever equal the servitude of Christ Jesus who gave up glory to become human and then is obedient in all things even to death on the cross.It is in our decietful human heart to want to be glorified. Wow! What arrogance, when it is all for Gods glory no matter what we think or do.

Praise Jesus. I am so thankful to our God and Father for His patience with me. I have to remember this before I write off Christians. With love, patience and prayer God can do the impossible. Humility and love is a powerful combination. Truly I am a testament of Gods love and power. He is the true and only God for ever and ever. Amen. Last night a teenage girl was pushing a younger girl in a wheelchair and I was on the balcony of the hostel. I waved and said, "Hola", the girl looked up at me and got up out of the wheelchair and started to walk. My heart stopped, but it turns out the wheelchair was for her Grandmother and not her. Praise God, I think the Lord is trying to tell me my miracle ministry is right around the corner. This prospect scares me and excites me. Scares me because I know how vicious people can be when confronted with the absolute reality of God, both believer and non-believer. Excites me because, praise God, I truly want to see people see the absolute reality of our Lord Jesus Christ and His power and sacrifice, unto the saving of souls. God is faithful and no matter what He has for me it is enough. Praise Jesus.
