India's Deceptions

In India there are about 3 million god's that are worshipped, one of those god's is the rat! So, in honor of this god, people give them milk to drink and accept them as a part of the family. While thousands of children suffer from hunger and starvation, these rats are fat and sassy. Jesus said. "you will know the truth and the truth will set you free." Paul said, "how can the believe unless they hear, and how can they hear if there is no preacher?" Jesus also said, "lift up your eyes and look unto the harvest for the harvest is ripe ready for harvest."

China's masses

Jesus said that the "Harvest is ripe and the laborers are few." Joel said that "Multitudes are in the valley of decision." These are masses that enjoy some fun at a swimming pool in China. So many people are in need to hear the Good News of the Gospel.

It Works!

Over the years I enouraged the flock to be light and salt in the work place. To penetrate a dark place with the good news of Christ. It was easy to give this encouragement from the safe sanctuary of the "pastors" office. For the past 10 months I've been in a very dark place, an industry known for its lack of integrity, honesty and truth. The training emphasized to "fake it until you make it." The pull to compromise ones standards is very strong. So, I made a decision when I started to see if what I had encouraged the flock to do and be was do-able, practical and possible. I told my boss that I would not lie or exagerate to make a sale. I set my stanards and haven't moved. The results are: I have a cell meeting at work and group prayer every morning. I have led co-workers to the Lord. Prayed for the sick (saw some instantly healed) have seen a change in the atmosphere of the resort and co-workers come for counsel and prayer. Because of the high turnover of staff I get the opportunity to sow seeds into many lives not knowing what the outcome might be. My flock has changed from the walls of a church to the people that I meet with every day. I've come to realize that being light and salt is not only what Jesus told us to be, it is possible to see His power released in the lives of hurting people even in the work place.

The Holy Spirit is a Master Craftsman

The Holy Spirit is a master craftsman that stands beside us to help us every day. Why? Because people are hurting and without the help of the Holy Spirit we are helpless. Jesus sent to us the Holy Spirit so that we can be both inwardly and outwardly effective. However, too many saints are inwardly beaten and outwardly ineffective.This happens because of our failure to see the importance of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives. The Holy Spirit is near to us. "With you and in you" Jesus said it! I beleive it! We need to see the importance of letting the Spirit minister the answers that you need in your life. He is your friend, an every day friend. Sometimes it seems that we only want Him to "zap" some circumstance that we have gotten into. We call on Him to "solve this problem", "lift this burden", "do this" and "do that". Do we know who we are talking to? The Lord is speaking to you today to get excited about the importance of the Holy Spirit in your life. Remember this, we do no know more than God. God is positioning His church today to rely more upon the Holy Spirit. He wants to help the church by His Spirit to move into a mighty harvest!

Anonymous comments

Blogging has been a way for me to keep a diary of different thoughts and activities of my life that I choose to share with others. It is a means to communicate and encourage those who happen to read it. I find it quite comical to read the comments of "anonymous" folks who try to provoke and correct me without leaving any identification for a proper response.

My suggestion is for you to find the courage within yourself not to hide behind "anonymous." If you cannot find the fortitude to put your name, send me a personal email to pveach@yahoo.com and you will get a response. Until then let me remind you of the Apostol Pauls words, "let everything be done for edification."
