JESUS SAID

Watch out! Don't let my sudden coming catch you unaware; don't let me find you living in careless ease, carousing and drinking, and occupied with problems of this life, like all the rest of the world.

Luke 21:34-35

ROCK THE BLOCK SERVICE 8-26-07 - MINISTER PAUL BONE AND DEXTER JENKINS - JUBILEE CHRISTIAN WORSHIP CENTER

Being Connected

Earlier in the week I had to stop at the church, The Salvation Army where I noticed a man doing work around the building. My spirit stopped and began pondering where did he come from? All of a sudden I began rejoicing because the Lord said we were able to connect the man who was doing the work to Jesus last year by holding open air services. It is a joy being a match maker for Jesus, how we are able to put in a good word for Him.

As the Psalmist in Psalm chapter 107:1-2 (Living Bible) puts it say “Thank you” to the Lord for being so good, for always being so loving and kind. Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others He has saved you from your enemies.

We all have different things in common, wealth, education, skin color or political status that makes us different, but there is one thing that we all have in common, that makes the scripture found in John 10:10 so relevant to us, that Satan is our worst enemy.

There was a minister by the name of Paul Bone from Jubilee Christian Worship Center, who shared his testimony with us at the Rock the Block evangelistic service on Sunday night. IMG_5941 I can remember him saying that when he was involved with gangs and drugs that he always wanted to connect with the big man, meaning the big drug dealer; but was denied access constantly.

Now he is thanking God for bringing him out of that life style and finally he is connected to the BIG SON OF MAN “JESUS”. There were a couple of new converts who stood up to testify about how Jesus touched their lives and how grateful they were for us being on the block sharing his love and helping people get connected.

The message for the night was right on point, spoken by Minister Dexter Jenkins also from Jubilee. IMG_5896 He described to us Jesus’ willingness to hang out with sinners, always looking out for the lost, this time it was Zaccheus who was called out and was connected to Jesus, because he was willing to confess and believe.

Love making was at its best by the worship and praise team from the Promise Worship Center singing their hearts out before the Lord, saturating the atmosphere with joy.

Finally the night would not be complete without a love connection, which came at the end of the night again, a young man who was listening to the service for a long time was approached; come to find out that there was a falling out with him and Jesus, so we were able to help out with reconnecting him back with Jesus,
Hallelujah!
