Inspiration: I had just sat down at my friend’s dinner table when two drunks pulled up in the driveway.  They knocked on the door and asked to use the restroom.  As they came out of the washroom we saw this as a opportunity to witness to them so my friend took one of them outside to share Jesus with him and I took the other into the kitchen.  As I prayed with the one in the kitchen, God sobered him up and he started to cry.  I led him in prayer to ask Jesus into his life and he got saved by Jesus right there! We got their phone number and did some follow up with them.  We praised God to hear that that the other man, who did not surrender to Jesus that night, did at least give up drinking from that night we first met.  We praised God also that I was able to take the new Christian to church.

Inspiration: This is a great scripture for those who think that they can earn their way into heaven by their good works.  Today’s society is so performance orientated that people assume that this is God’s way also.  One lady had been heading up organizations in her church for decades and thought she could earn entrance into heaven by all her church work.  After she saw that she had to respond to Jesus Christ by faith, she came into a new personal relationship with Jesus committing her life totally to Him.  Many are taught that God weighs the good things you have done versus the bad to see if you get into heaven or not,  which is not scriptural!

Inspiration: Perception is reality for many people.  Some see only the negative side of life.  Their glass is half empty while another’s glass is half full.  Negative people often are prejudiced against everyone in every situation.  I was in a business meeting where everyone heard an inspired message but this negative person did not hear or see anything hopeful at all.  It is these people that especially need the light of Jesus Christ to change their vision and let them see things clearly, the way God sees them.   Let us line up our priorities with Gods Priorities!

Inspiration: A grandmother prayed the blood of Jesus over her family.  She was praying for her daughter and granddaughter on the day of a terrorist attack.  Her daughter worked on an upper floor of a building and her granddaughter was in Day Care on the second floor of the same building.  Ten minutes before the bomb went off,  the daughter had to take the granddaughter home because she was acting up.  As the daughter was driving home with her child, the bomb went off killing many people in that building.

Inspiration: I grew up going to church each week but did not know much about Holy Spirit and had no clue what the word anointing meant.  As I started to study the Bible I learned that Holy Spirit is a person, not an it, and is sent by Jesus to be the power source on earth.  Now, I realize that those churches who regularly have healing services where people get healed, operate under the power and anointing of the Spirit and have church leaders that listen and obey Holy Spirit’s directions.  Let us pray more to learn more about Holy Spirit!

Inspiration: I have noticed that very few people can tell you what the sermon was all about, one day or one week after it is given.  Even prophecies that are given in church are forgotten by people the moment they leave the church.  The wise people I see are the ones that takes notes and discuss the sermon at meal times.   This helps them remember the Word of God which was spoken.  Let us see that forgetting a prophecy is an insult to God!

Inspiration: There are cults these days that are leading people astray.  A well-known lawyer became a cult leaders private lawyer.  This lawyer was asked to a Christian meeting and decided to dedicate his life to Jesus.  Not many days later he felt a caution from the Lord not to be with this cult leader.  Later he learned this cult leader committed suicide and the followers of the cult were also killed.  The lawyer said it was God that rescued him just in time or else he could have been killed also.

Inspiration: When we were asked to memorize these nine fruits of the spirit, long-suffering was the one I knew I needed the most work on.  Living in a society today where everyone wants immediate answers, I found myself not willing to suffer long.  It seemed as a young Christian, God would answer my prayers more quickly but as I grew older, He wanted to produce this fruit in me.   True love for Jesus wants us to want to show this fruit for Him and help reproduce this fruit in other Christians!

Inspiration: One church leader asked his congregation to pray before each service.  Usually the congregation did not pray or intercede much before the service began.  However, after following the church leader’s advice, they noticed a difference.  The Holy Spirit’s power seemed much more tangible and more people came forward to the altar to receive miracles from Jesus.  People started to learn Holy Spirit is a person wanting to help us each hour of every day if we are listening to Him!

Inspiration: A truck driver had a rough upbringing as his father said to him "You’ll never amount to anything!"  This produced unforgiveness which tormented this truck driver causing him to drink heavily.  In his twenties, he had no self esteem and went downhill to the point of committing suicide.  Just before taking his life he heard someone talk about Jesus on the TV.  He got on his knees and asked Jesus to save him.  He has become an on-fire Christian and has forgiven his father. He has peace now and does not need alcohol to solve his tormenting problems as he is free from the torment of unforgiveness.

Inspiration: A wife was ready to give up on her alcoholic husband but God spoke to her to pray for him.  Her two young daughters started to pray over their Daddy’s beer in the refrigerator.  When the father came home he went straight to the refrigerator for his beer.  He drank the first sip and then spat it out thinking it was bad.  He went down to the local bar and ordered a drink and even that tasted bad.  The family kept praying and three months later, this husband got on his knees and gave his life to Christ.   The husband also testified of a wart being healed off his daughters hand so He knew it was time to get right with God!

Inspiration: The president of a Bible College said that the best sermon you will ever preach is just to tell people how Jesus saved you.  I practiced writing out my own story of how I became a Christian and how Jesus changed my life.  I memorized a five minute version of my story to share with some people who are interested and a 30 second version of my story for the person who shows little interest.  I learned that sharing Jesus becomes easier the more you do it  The 30 second version is for those that are not interest in Jesus and the longer version is for those that show some interest!

Inspiration: Statistics from the churches show that over 95% of the average congregation have never led one person to Jesus.  This is because they have never been trained how to share their faith and overcome their fears.  I am overjoyed to see more and more Christian literature that teaches people how to receive Jesus into their hearts.  Those who are too nervous to share their faith with others can give the lost person some Christian literature to read and invite these people to church.  Christians are also learning to get baptised in the Holy Spirit asking for boldness to overcome fear and intimidation!

Inspiration: I was involved in a missionary organization for years and we would always fast and pray before a mission.  When I read Isaiah 58, I really saw the power of fasting as it was to break the enemy’s stronghold, and bring people’s hearts closer to Jesus.  On one mission it seemed like everything was against us, but after fasting there was a breakthrough and many gave their lives to Christ.

Inspiration: One Bible teacher was talking about winning souls, and that Jesus left the 99 sheep and went searching for one that was lost.  The teacher went on to say that winning souls is God’s top priority as Jesus wants all to be saved and none to perish.  This teacher said, unfortunately, most Christians are not really concerned with the lost. Instead, Christians need to pray longer, ask Jesus what His priorities are, and see that all Christians need to share Jesus, not just missionaries!

Inspiration: This scripture has been such a blessing to me in the time of trials. When I was going through these times, I would think that if God was looking after the sparrows, surely He was watching over me. As I pondered on the fact that God had counted all the hairs on my head, and that He knew all my thoughts, desires and struggles, I had complete reassurance that I was going to pull through the trial.  Jesus was and will always be my provider since I am completely surrender to Him.

Inspiration: A Bible teacher was teaching on words.  He said they are spiritual containers.  Picture them like jars. If scripture is spoken, these spiritual jars carry faith, hope, love and healing to a person or nation and that jar is poured out on the recipient.  The power of the words comes from a person who is submitted to the authority of Jesus Christ, and speaks the words with belief and authority in Jesus’ name.  We want to speak words of life not death, words from the scriptures, not words of doubt, fear and unbelief!

Inspiration: A Christian owned a taxi business that wasn’t making money.  He wanted to sell it but the Lord wanted him to keep the business to make a Christian impact on the city and helping people get free from addictions.  He was financially tested for a long time, and learned to trust the Lord with this business.  He endured this financial struggle and God has blessed him richly today.

Inspiration: A man in his 50s spoke to our men’s retreat.  He shared his testimony that he had struggled with sexual sin for over 20 years.  His audience could not believe that this man would humble himself as most people keep this kind of sin in the closet.  God’s power broke him free of this habit when he went forward for prayer at a service.   Now he is sharing his testimony all around the world helping others get free of the sex addictions by the power of the name of Jesus!

Inspiration: I have attended services in many denominations and in many countries.  Some Christians prefer to close their eyes during worship to block out distractions while others were like spectators, more interested in looking to see who was there and what they were wearing.  I found the growing churches have a worship mix of hymns (for the older generation) and modern worship songs (for the younger generation) and these churches have taught people to worship God in spirit and in truth.  Leaders in these growing churches help people to not be so selfish, wanting the music their way, but help people to push through ruts and traditions and into God’s heart, worshiping Him and loving Him as the number 1 commandment says in Mark 12:30-31!

Inspiration: I praise Jesus when I hear of Christian Companies that use the Bible for their business principles.  One large restaurant chain is closed on Sundays as the founder was a Christian.  Another firm has Bible studies during the day for all employees to attend if they desire.  The president asks for the whole company to pray when he and the board of executives are making a major decision.  All the board of executives are very generous to their employees giving them bonuses and paying for family trips at their expense.
