Too Legit to Quit

"I woke up this morning with my mind, staying on Jesus!"

I am anxiously awaiting a phone call this week to give directions to a family that wants to be baptized! We became acquainted with them through a Craigslist ad for a marquee sign they were trying to sell. They live almost 2 hours away from us and I have only been to their home twice. But they are HUNGRY for God and want nothing less than the biblical Truth. And they are very curious, although apprehensive, about the fact that there is more to the supernatural moving of God's Spirit.

It is hard when someone lives so far away. I am hoping to get them comfortable enough with the Holy Ghost and with the concept of pentecostalism that I can steer them towards a church in their area. I thought about just doing that to begin with, but they are so scared of "crazies" that they wouldn't have been open to attending a church that practices what we do. The other thought was, "I don't have the gas money to be driving four extra hours every other Sunday night." Although that is true (we are not even making enough to pay our church bills, much less put extra towards outreach), I cannot in good conscience stay at home when I know someone wants the Truth. It is what we are all called to do. Win souls and let Jesus take care of the rest. Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you.

When there is a legitimate desire for God in a person, our highest calling is to teach them, no matter what the cost is to us. Helping one soul reach the point of Calvary, then leading them on to Resurrection through the Holy Ghost, is worth every penny the Lord has given me. Jesus help me to keep my mind on you and my eyes on the lost!
