Knowing He is Soveriegn

Lately we have been proclaiming the Gospel in downtown Santa Rosa. I must say that it has been a little different than usual. I say that because people are standing around us(hostile as they may be)and are listening to us. My greatest desire in these moments is to glorify my God in word and response. I've noticed my great need for gentleness in dealing with the lost sinner. The book of Timothy tells me to gently instruct those who oppose themselves..that by chance God might grant them repentance. I know that salvation is of the Lord..and when He moves to save a soul..it happens..and at the same time I deeply desire to be ministering in a way that lines up with His commands. God help me! We have been praying and yearning to see the Lord save the lost..I believe that we are definitely in the stage of breaking up the ground and sowing. I'm not sure if this ministry will be the ministry to be a part of the harvest..but we sure are praying.. and either way, those who sow and those who reap rejoice together. We also know that God has preordained good works for us to walk in...so whatever happens in the field is according to His good pleasure! My prayer is for a great awakening ...a great harvest of truly repentant men and women who fear God..and that no ministry or man could claim its stake in it..but rather that all the glory would go to JESUS CHRIST. Oh how I long to just be a part of that! Jim semisch

To simply preach the Gospel anywhere!

I love preaching the Gospel. For it is the power of God for salvation to all who believe. My life has been transformed, my sins forgiven, and my eternal welfare have all been deltwith because of Christ Jesus. I am eager to preach whenever and wherever possible, so that someone might have the opportunity for salvation. Recently i've been sent to the Market place in Santa Rosa and San Fran. I would say that the majority of people ignore my message and mock it. It seems that our culture wants nothing to do with God...at least the true and living God. The King is coming back though..and I know that He has called me to this ministry...which is absolutely foolish in the eyes of the world. It seems to be a ministry in which the only branches that bear fruit are my own. I would say that this could be a stumbling block and cause me to doubt the preaching of the gospel..but the Spirit of Jesus Christ compels me to go to the lanes of the city...and warn. SO this is truly a ministry in which i'm a trumpet blower...warning people of the impending danger..that is God's wrath. Pointing people to the stumbling block and the rock of offense..Jesus Christ. In light of Gods judgement on sin..what else could i possibly invest my time in?
