JESUS THE CHRIST MINISTRIES

The full Counsel Newsletter - No 61

YOUR HANDS HAVE MADE ME AND FASHIONED ME ... GIVE ME UNDERSTANDING... THAT I MAY LEARN YOUR COMMANDMENTS.... PSALM 119:73.

HE LEADETH ME !

No person can understand God without the Spirit of God leading them and teaching them and guiding them... Zechariah 4:6b.

Only a week ago I received a call from a lady called Ruth, who lives in South Australia and she was requesting accommodation overnight, so that she may visit her son in a prison outside Brisbane City. This young man attended our church for a season and two years after he left, we find him in prison outside Brisbane City, lets keep in mind Moses who killed a man and Peter who pulled a knife on a religious leader and the words of the Christ .. where were you when I was in prison? .. Matthew 25:34-46.

I was to meet Ruth at the Ipswich Transit Centre, I didn't know where that was. As I entered Ipswich, holy ghost unctioned me to pull over to the side of the road and ask a passer by where it was .. the man said, I am on my way there right now, so he got in the car, he got a tract and I got to the station. After Ruth stayed the night we awoke early and went to the prison, after entering the prison we found that we needed coins to buy things for brother Max who we were visiting. I left the prison and looked for a shop to change a $50 note, there were no shops to be seen in that area. Therefore I decided to head back to the highway only to find a .. go back, wrong way sign looking me in the face.. as I turned around I was left with only one road, as I travelled this road I met an old man who gave me clear directions to the nearest shop, he also received a tract/word of God. I returned to the prison with five minutes to spare before the doors were opened for entry, praise the Lamb... Isaiah 55:11.

We got to fellowship with our brother in the dungeon of despair and boy was He glad, I was too. We talked of the wonders of our great Pastor/Jesus for sometime, till Ruth his mother wanted some prime time with her son, which was understood therefore I moved to the next table, number seven. It was there that I spoke with a young lad about twelve years of age from El Salvador, he was visiting his brother .. I prayed with him and he asked the Christ/Jesus to forgive him and save his soul .. glory halleluyah!.. On leaving the prison, an old man said to me on the way out .. did you get your change, this opened the door to tell once again of the wonders of my master Jesus the Christ. I forgot to tell of the council worker on the road to the shop ...he got a tract also.

1.. Man ministered to on entry to Ipswich by tract.
2.. Lady/Ruth, provided with shelter .. B&B plus literature and video to take back to Sth Aust.
3.. Old man received tract while I looked for shop.
4.. Prison warden received tract on entry plus tracts left in reception area, gone when I came out from visiting.
5.. Twelve year old South American introduced to Jesus.
6.. Brother in Christ and prisoner edified to the glory of Lord Jesus.
7.. Now there will be a steady flow of literature entering the cell of one prisoner, who will share the living word with the dead in jail.. amen.

Those who are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. halleluyah!
