fishers of men

IF YOU'RE NOT FISHING... YOU'RE NOT FOLLOWING
Jesus said "come follow me and I will make you fishers of men" Mark 1:17
The fish don't come to the fisherman, the fisherman go to the fish.
Two of the most embarrassing questions to ask Christians:
   1) When is the last time you tried to bring someone to Christ?
   2) When is the last time you actually did bring someone to Christ?
   I may not see this man ever again on earth, but I will in heaven. That's why I must value every relationship I'm given whether it be a person in passing or a long lasting friendship. And I need to invest my time and love into every person for God is patient with us and "doesn't want anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance" 2 Peter 3:9
   I thought that God wanted me to play ______ (softball), but instead he wanted me to go fishing.
Today and every day I need/want to get involved in the greatest business... Finding, Fishing, Following business

prayers of my life:

"Father God, thank You for Your grace and mercy in my life. Thank You for believing in me, for giving me a hope and a future. Today I choose to stretch; I choose increase; I choose to rise up higher so that I can be all You’ve created me to be. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

Dear Lord, I want to please you with my words of my mouth and meditations of my heart. I want to spark a revolution for our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I pray that you let my whole life be a blazing offering, a life that shouts and sings the greatness of the king. Bend me and mold me use me for your glory. In Jesus' name. Amen

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

2 corinthians 4:7-12

The gospel so much exceeds the law in glory, that it eclipses the glory of the legal dispensation. But even the New Testament will be a killing letter, if shown as a mere system or form, and without dependence on God the Holy Spirit, to give it a quickening power. (2Co 3:12-18)

Dear Lord, I need Your loving touch today. Let Your love song wash over me and fill my heart. I release my feelings of doubt to You and rest in Your undying love. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
