The Action Report The Holy Spirit in Action By Frank Eiklor Special friends, "BANG!" "BANG!" "BANG!" No, not gunshots—just the Holy Spirit in action. I wanted to tell you more about our outreach to Israel and the Jewish people but that has to wait. I can’t hold back on the “Bang, bang, bang” of the last few days.
1) I do my running each morning. “Good morning” I called to a woman jogging in the opposite direction. She stopped, shook her head and thrust out her arms to say, “I can’t understand you!” It turned out that she is from Brazil and visiting her daughter. Since my Norma was a missionary in Brazil and once spoke fluent Portuguese, I took Wanda home to meet her. Some days later, Wanda returned to our home with daughter Vanessa. God’s timing! God’s moment. Both gave their hearts to the Lord! Bang! 2) Remember Susan, whose cancer helped drive her to the God of eternity? She repented of her sins and was beautifully changed to a powerful witness for Christ. Two weeks ago she told another desperate young mother, “You better call Frank and Norma right away.” Lisa did—and she and daughter Ellerica made their decisions to choose Christ and God’s plan for their lives. Bang! 3) Home Depot gave me the number of a handyman to call to do a home project. Mike said, “Yeah, I know who you are. You witnessed to me in the parking lot some months ago.” He loves the Lord and will hang our door while I hang some spiritual encouragement on him. Bang! Across the world—or across the street—the only investment that has “forever” attached to it are the lives and souls of men, women, lads and lassies. And we get to reach, teach and train them because of faithful supporters who reach out to us with your prayers and support. We are not just sending the light afar. We’re also bringing them in from in close. Your help to keep Shalom on the front lines will be so appreciated. “Servant of all”—His and yours! Frank Related Articles · More Articles Jesus said many would come in His name and deceive the hearts of the simple, sinful and proud. 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! |
