CALLED TO EVANGELIZE

In Luke 5:1-11 we see Jesus at the Lake of Gennesaret (Sea of Galilee) watching some fishermen cleaning their nets after a long and unproductive night of fishing. He asked to use Simon Peter’s boat and pushed out a little ways into the water and began teaching those who were assembled there.

Afterwards, he told Simon to launch out into the deep water and let down his nets for a draw (catch). Simon objected because they had come up empty after fishing all night. Nevertheless, Simon obeyed. When they had cast the net (not nets) Simon and Andrew hauled in so many fish that their one net could not handle it. They called for help from James and John who brought over their boat to help. The fish filled both boats to overflowing.

The fishermen were so overwhelmed that they clearly recognized Jesus as Lord (vs. 8). Jesus called them to follow him saying in verse 10, “Fear not. From henceforth thou shalt catch men.” They forsook their fishing livelihood to become fishers of men.

Likewise, we are each called to be fishers of men. We are to catch the souls of men to bring them into the kingdom of heaven. We are called to evangelize those around us.

How do we do this? We speak freely of Jesus and what he means to us. This plants the seed which Holy Spirit can use to draw people to Christ. We are not to be ashamed of the gospel, which simply means to not be shy about it. Speak boldly of Christ. Words matter.

THE LOST KEYS

Last week I misplaced some keys that were very important. I had another set but was determined to find the ones that I lost. I searched the counter. I searched pockets of the clothes I had worn recently. I could not find the keys. I knew they had to be somewhere. Yes, I had misplaced them, but where?

Earlier today I asked Holy Spirit to show me where those keys were. He led me to my closet and to look in my “long pants” pockets. I hadn’t worn these lately, but I looked. In the pocket of one pair of long pants were the keys. Then I remembered I had put those pants on early in the morning a few days ago, but Florida sunshine warmed up the day and I changed them for something cooler. I had hung up the long pants without checking the pockets.

Life is so much like this. We have something very important to us, but we put it “on the shelf” and then forget what shelf we put that important thing on. One of those things is the Word of God. We might know part of a verse but can’t remember the rest or where to find it. Like those keys we misplaced, the verse that once was important has been misplaced. Then we must search it out again until we find it.

In Psalms 119:11 we are told, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” God’s word keeps us from sinning. This means that we memorize that word and keep it in our heart. We often meditate on it and speak it out so that we do not forget it. It is hidden in our heart. It stays there if we continue to view it as valuable.

God’s Word is magnified above even his name. Psalm 138:2 b says, “… for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” God puts a priority on his Word over his name! When we realize the value of hiding it in our heart then we will reap the benefits of having it and never lose it!

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

2-28-2023

I am hearing, "Do not look to the left or right - look unto Jesus the author and finisher of your faith." So often we look to others for a "prophetic word" or an encouraging word. We are led by our emotions because of our "situations." God is saying it is time to look to Him because He alone has the answers we need. It is not that we can't be encouraged by others or even be given a prophetic word. It is when we depend constantly upon this instead of hearing from God ourselves. It would be like being married and you ask someone else what your spouse is saying instead of listening yourself to what he has to say. God wants to talk to you himself!

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

2-27-2023

Keep in mind as you walk through this difficult time in your life; That God is NOT punishing you…But He IS proving you as He prepares you for His greater purpose. So trust God’s plan...NOT your pain. Meanwhile just know that God’s got this; And He sees all of what you cannot see. Furthermore, God cares enough about you that He will detour you if need be...So that others won’t be able to get to you so they can destroy you. Just remember that you can always trust God; And He will, without fail bring you on through this tough spot in the road…For God is an on time God…Oh, yes He is. Just trust Him.
