New Births & Smote Lions

This morning was excellent. Sharitzi and her family came out. Luis, another of her sons was in my Sunday School class and he listened pretty intently. I was able to give them a good does of the Gospel, but it was merely the foundation. After services I asked Sharitzi if she would come to be baptized and she did. As she came Luis followed and said he wanted to be baptised. I gave him the Gospel, he prayed received Jesus as his Saviour and was baptised. This boy got fired up! He literally came to life. Questions began to flow from him along with great joy. He hugged before leaving, and his appreciation was genuine, as I believe his salvation is. Sharitzi, his mom told me that after I left Saturday she went in and read her Bible. Yes, sir! That's what salvation looks like! Praise God for another outstanding weekend.

This evening one of our members became upset. He was overtaken by the spirit of jealousy and stormed out of the services. I mean he stormed out. God has really been working in his life and he has been a blessing to me and many others. I went after him, spoke with him, shared some scripture with him, and by God's grace restored him. We went back into the services and Pastor was giving the invitation. As I sat there thanking God for His grace, He reminded of the scripture when David confessed to Saul that Goliath was no match for him because God would fight for him. He then said that he killed a lion and a bear who had taken one of the sheep. God smote the lion who was trying to take one the sheep last night and let me take part in it. Praise God! What a blessing!!
