The Gospel is the Fire that ignites dead hearts

Lets GO NYC 2013

Less is more, don't rush

I have been learning

the art of waiting and loving how beautiful the smallest things are before they bloom. Seeds are small, and they do not appear as anything until they grow. I heard this word many years ago by a friend of mine; "Less is more". Today I heard something similar; "Don't rush". It is in my blood to GO, and do, but i know I cannot do this well without clear direction and steps of faith.

I will not allow my personal agenda or made-schedule to determine what God is going to do. I have planned this mission, inspired by the Spirit of God, so everyone involved will leave changed, encouraged, blessed and ready for the next level in their life. This NYC mission trip is about this exact focus! That we need not to rush, only to be led b the Holy Spirit. He has lit our torches with His fire, we need now to carry it to the Nations. The Gospel is the Fire that ignites dead hearts.

God has already blessed you, in JESUS name! GO into all the Earth with the Message.

DONT DELAY
There was an elderly man who spent the majority of his life working on the mines and coming home to drink beer and sit in his rocking chair. Over the years, he received many valuable gifts. When he opened them, he would look at them briefly then stack them into boxes which went directly into a shed. This man was such a pleasant man when everyone was around, he would thank people for their generosity, and would even write thank you cards for the gifts. But it took this man 50 years to truly enjoy the gifts he was given by his friends!

After 50 years of collecting these gifts, he decided to look at them and determine what he was going to do with each gift. Even though he kept them, he only kept them out of obligation. He actually hoarded the gifts, and out of pride, “collected them”.

When he received the gifts, he actually only ignored them and let them sit. He loved the idea of having them, just in case! When he finally began to open the packages, to his surprise, he noticed that many of the gifts were still useful! He cracked a little smile and thought to himself; “how selfish and ignorant I was, to think these gifts my friends gave me over all these years were worthless, they now seem to be very helpful and good for my life!”. He also thought to Himself, “I could use these gifts to help others too!”

The gifts we special tools, ones he would have been able to use to not only bless himself, but also to help many others through the years find purpose for their life.
Unfortunately, he never saw how the gifts he opened would be a blessing; he died only one week later after having this great revelation of how good the gifts he was given were.

What do you think this man could have done differently?

God does not call us to chase gifts, and hoard them. He has already given us gifts, to use every day! His greatest gift is Salvation through Jesus Christ. That benefits all who truly surrender and receive Him. Jesus is the greatest gift, anyone can receive! God has already blessed you!! But what are you going to do now?

Do not delay, do not wait and pray about it Salvation is now, today it is urgent to know this God who loves you. Get up, open the gifts He gives you and touch this generation with the Gospel!

2 Corinthians 6:1-2 "As God’s partners, we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God’s kindness and then ignore it. For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation."
