The Action Report Because of The Value of One Soul, Legion's Chains were Broken Precious friend, It was a sight that makes a man want to fall on his face before God and cry, "Holy, Holy, Holy!"
We preached on "The Value of One!" and I acted out the part of demon-possessed
Legion and blind Bartimaus.
I was scheduled to preach three successive nights in Argentina. Rio Gallegos is the largest city in the Patagonia-that great land mass north of the Antarctic. We were also in the largest auditorium in the city where some 2000 people could be seated. The final night was standing room only. My friend Walter was at my side. I speak Spanish but not well enough. Walter is the best! We preached on "The Value of One!" and I acted out the part of demon-possessed Legion and blind Bartimaus. The world put no value on either-one so evil that chains could not hold him. Yet demons-that later drove 2000 swine mad-could not stop him from running to Jesus!
...why would Jesus notice him, the scum of the earth...
And the blind man? The multitude tried to shut him up. After all, why would Jesus notice him, the scum of the earth whose blindness, they would reason, must have been the cause of great sin? No one could shush him. He just screamed louder, "Jesus, son of David have mercy on me!" And the Creator of the universe stopped in his tracks-twice-because of "The Value of One Soul". Legion's chains were broken and he sat worshipping at Jesus' feet. The blind man was made to see and his first gaze lighted on Jesus' face. ...the value of one soul...
The power of God was present as I gave the call to repent of sin and receive a new heart-the heart of Christ. Then they came-hundreds that looked like fully a third of the multitude filling the auditorium. And so it went for three nights in this Holy Spirit move in Argentina.
Then it continued with the youth when we returned to Buenos Aires-this time in a camp setting where many young "Joshuas" dedicated their lives to the purity and purposes of the Lord. "Holy, holy, holy! Worthy is the Lamb!" That's just some of what your love, prayers and support accomplished. God is on the move-and we are moving with Him! We live by faith-and God cannot fail! God bless you!

Eastern mysticism and meditation is a big thing in the gullible West. And one day a “world leader” will appear on the scene with the persuasion of a god and the heart of a devil. Jesus warns His children to know the Scriptures, live in obedience to the Father’s will, and stay alert to the signs of the times. They laugh no more. Now God’s description of how He will destroy the old earth and create a
new one makes perfect sense. The splitting of the atom turned many skeptics into believers.
After all, look what man himself is capable of doing with the atom and hydrogen bombs. Now
the fear is that nuclear weapons are being placed in the hands of madmen who wish to annihilate
their enemies. God has blessed man with incredible genius. We stand in awe as we watch men and women in a room full of computers and high-tech instruments guiding and landing spacecraft on distant planets. At that moment, we appear invincible. But then a mammoth tornado comes—or a terrifying hurricane—or rains that flood whole regions and never listen to our shouts to “Stop!”—or the shake that removes from under our feet any confidence or pride we carry, and leaves us numb with hardly enough breath to even utter the paralyzing word “EARTHQUAKE!”. And man is helpless in the face of it all! |
