Are We Fishing For People Or Just Fishing Around?

"Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” (Mark, 1:17)

Evangelism was the primary reason Jesus called His disciples, and that call remains His central mission today, for all those who actually claim to be His followers.

There is a beautiful, and amazing place called grace, at the foot of the cross of Christ.  It is called grace, because it can never be deserved or earned. While the price of God's grace is free to us, it cost Jesus everything, including His very life.  "Come cling to the cross and live. Fall on the cross and live. With your final heart beat, kiss this old world good by, and fly to Jesus and live"

PRAYER: Father, where life hangs in the balance and faithful hearts gather together to pray, I know you are there. Lord, if it is your will, I ask that you make your presence known. You are the one who can reach down from up high with healing hands, the maker of miracles. I believe in you, Lord, so I consider nothing to be impossible by your touch. Sickness and death, they flee your gaze. All life, both new and restored, they come from you. I believe, Lord! So, just as the woman touched Jesus' garment and was healed by her faith, I reach out to you on behalf of a soul that has been subdued by an afflicted host. I ask for healing, while I submit to your will. I trust in you, Lord, to work for the good of those of us who love you. I love you, Lord, and I will praise you, always. Not just in joy, but in mourning, I look to you in good faith that your purpose is right for all things. No amount of suffering or loss can take away from the blessings you give. So, Lord, in humble adoration for you, I request healing for the life that now has no voice and waits for you in peril. Thank you, Lord, for your attentiveness to my plea. May it be your will to apply your mercy and be given praise for it. Oh, God, I give you all praise, always. Amen!
