Isaiah 59:1-2, “behold, The Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear.” St John 3:17, “for God sent not His son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.”
Salvation is the deliverance from sin and it’s consequences; a state of being free from the bondage of sin and the effects of evil and it’s control. Salvation can only be achieved by believing. “That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved,” Romans 10:9.
It’s always a pleasure for us to go and spread the message of salvation to the unsaved and last night was no exception. It was cold, nevertheless we had a job to do. There were two homeless men with us, one from we started setting up and the other shortly thereafter. The taller of the two had an obscene vocabulary that was unavoidably heard through our conversations. At one stage he offered me a brand new winter jacket that he had hidden away in an ally. He also tried to give me something rolled up in brown paper, in which he confirmed was weed. Also he had a pipe like thing that he continuously offered to us.
When the night was done and we left, one dear sister stuck around and ministered to Him. We got word later from the sister that he accept Christ as his Lord and Savior and pray the sinners prayer. There’s a joy and rejoicing in Heaven because this young man accepted the Gift of Salvation, Hallelujah!
God Bless.

Dear friends
I just thought I would add salvation is a continuing process involving the renewal of the mind through repentance. But oh the Joy and freedom as we submit ourselves to God and we discover him in deeper depths. Freedom comes as God's truth permeates and saturates us even to our innermost being.
May God continue to illuminate and saturate our minds and hearts with truth, so we can be absolutely free to lift our hands in total continual worship
Amen
Walk Good in Christ
Till we meet again
