Always Be Ready

Jesse Birkey's picture

I had the unexpected opportunity to pray with a co-worker who doesn't know the Lord the other day that was really great.  My partner and I had just dropped our patient off in the hospital when my partner noticed one of our co-workers laying in one of the rooms.

There are many people who work for the fire department and, to my recollection, I hadn't met him before.  But my partner knew him and struck up a conversation.  He told us why he was there and it was a pretty hard story.  The man was going through some pretty hard times.

As we listened I sensed the familiar nudge of the Holy Spirit to pray for the man.  I had a short silent discussion saying, "I don't know him and I don't know if he is a believer."  But the Lord told me, "Pray for him."

So I looked at the man and asked him if we (my partner is a believer) could pray for him. His eyes widened in surprise and said, "absolutely".  So I asked him if I could put my hand on his shoulder and he told me yes.

We prayed for him and asked the Lord to touch his heart and heal his body.  I prayed as the Lord led me to pray, talked a few more minutes and then left.  On the way out my partner thanked me for praying for the man and that the two of them have had discussions about God.  My partner told me that God had really been pursing the mans heart lately.

This is a simple story that had a profound impact.  There is great purpose for the things God nudges us to do.  We must take great courage and respond.  We won't always get confirmation that we did the right thing but sometimes we do.  We must always be ready to be used by God.  He loves the stranger next to you just as much as He loves you and maybe, just maybe, He wants to use you to reach the strangers heart!

Have you ever been defeated by negative emotions such as anger, fear, guilt, inferiority, condemnation or depression? Have you tried to fight them off unsuccessfully? Is there an answer that is deeper than simply trying to mentally reason yourself out of these emotions? Is there a way that Jesus can speak a word of life into the depths of your emotional despair and bring healing on a deep level? Is there a form of Christian counseling that begins and ends with the movement of Christ within your heart, rather than simply with the words of man?

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny Complete Discounted Package

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 1 book | 22 Sessions of both CDs & DVDs

Newly recorded for 2023! Though the economic system (mammon) of this world is under a curse, we have received instructions for how to move out from that dominion and into the blessing of the Kingdom of God. God’s promises to His children have not changed with the whims of government or Wall Street, nor have His directions for how to walk in those promises. We can “choose not to participate” in the economic recession that is around us if we instead choose to obey the logos and rhema of the Lord and enjoy the blessings that result.

Have you ever wished you could just sit down and have a long talk with the Lord? Wouldn't it be wonderful to move beyond having a theology that states that God loves you to actually hearing Him whisper words of love into your heart? When you're worried or confused, wouldn't you love to see the situation from His perspective and hear how He wants you to respond?

How Do YOU Know? Complete Discounted Package

by Mark Virkler | 180-Page Book | 12 Audio and 12 Video Sessions | LEARN Workbook | Retail Price: $143.80

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used eleven different methods for discovering truth including: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so. I have discarded them all and adopted a twelfth method, which is in harmony with what the Bible teaches. We teach you this method in this series. 

This package includes a 180-page book, a 12-session video series and a 12-session audio series, a 40-page workbook, all packaged at a 10% discount!
