This is not It!!!!!!!!
I was lost but now I'm found
we have all heard those words from Amazing grace
I was lost but now I'm found
we have all heard those words from Amazing grace
"Suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.' In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." ( Luke 15:8-10)
Being homeless is nothing to rejoice over, being addicted to drugs or alcohol, being beaten raped or robed, there is no joy in any of those things. And if you think there is you got another set of issues that need to be addressed.
I want lie to you or say I understand what your going through, I have no clue nor will I pretend to. I'm not here tonight to get a pat on the back but to let you know that, yes the world may see you as the forgotten, and outcast, or lessor. But Christ did not die for the rich he died for those that had nothing and no hope to hold onto. He suffered greatly at the hands of the same people that today would not even look at you or I. Because we did not attend the right college or live in the right part of town or our Fathers did not give us a trust fund or name a hospital after our family.
If Christ were to return today I would tell people not to look in the churches for him but go among the poor and those that are look down upon, which would be you guys. He would come and sit here and eat with you if you would have him. He would sleep here if you would let him. Simply because he told the people when he ate at Matthew house that those that are well have no need of physician but those that are sick have a need of Doctor. There is a great need for Christ here. Someone here might be wonder where is Jesus cause I've never seen him? I've prayed preacher man and look at me I'm still here, so save you word for Sunday past the collection plate sermon.
I'm not God so why he hasn't answered your prayer is as much a mystery to me as why he has not answered all of my prayers. I know that I must trust in God. There was a man name Job whom was a very rich man within the blink of his eye he found himself homeless and living in the city dump with no real family or friends to help him. His own wife wanted him dead because of the shame and embarrassment she felt. To loose all that he had and to them find that he was now in poor health. You think this guy had a reason to be angry and bitter at God??? Yea he did but he replied naked did I come into this world and naked shall I leave it. For all that I had or will ever have is God's anyway.
I wish I could tell you tonight that if you accept Christ as your savior he will take away your addiction to drugs or alcohol, or give you a new home or bring back your lost love one's. I can't tell you that because I don't know what God's plain is for your life, but I do know this is not it!!!!!
Did you hear me when I say this is not !!!!! God words says he has plains to prosper you, no that does not mean he going to make you rich, but it does means that he loves you and wants better for you. Each of us has free will, you decide not God. For he tells me in Revelations I stand at the door and knock if you will hear me and open up the door I will come in and sup with you.
Is there anyone here tonight that is tired? Tired of waking up out here, Tired of going to sleep out here? Just tired of life in general, tired of trying to see the sunshine when everyday is just another rainy day in your life. Find it hard to believe in God? That is okay he still believes in you, its time to make a change tonight is that night. Tell Christ that you no longer want to live like this. You no longer want to make Alcohol or drugs your master. Tired of life just not going your way. Then what do you have to loose by coming to Christ. You got no job to be fired from, No home to loose. If anyone ever who need to take a chance and let Christ into your life its here and now.. What do you have to loose by accepting Christ into your life. Let see how about lose the addiction to drugs, and alcohol, how about getting up off the ground and standing up straight and walking out of the woods into a better life.
