Prison, Church, News Headlines...

59 total came forward during the revival in Morgan Co prison.  The revival ran Sunday thru Thursday.

Now that I've been back to the reality of my world, I'm finding myself asking a lot of questions.
Actually, 2 questions:
WHY?
and
HOW COME?

The LORD had shown me that I was supposed to be going to the hospitals every week. HE also showed me that I was supposed to be going with somebody (or he with me). That somebody moved to another state a week ago.

The LORD showed me I am supposed to be helping the pastor. He's so weak right now...
...that really bothers me.

The pastor is not the only one that's suffering from an ailment of some sort. All the elders are being afflicted somehow or another. That really bugs me!

I understand this is indeed spiritual WARFARE! In war, you knock out all the ranking leaders and the underlings will scatter. I understand that.

Now the attacks are coming in different forms and to everybody.

So, WHY and HOW COME?

We have prayed, and prayed, and prayed...
and prayed some more.

Here is the scripture that I can't shake-

Matthew 17:14-21 KJV
(14)  And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
(15)  Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
(16)  And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
(17)  Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
(18)  And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
(19)  Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
(20)  And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
(21)   Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

Unbelief, Prayer, Fasting.

It's like I'm right back at the beginning again.

Prayer and fasting- the cure for unbelief.

I'll get to that news article in a minute.

Testimony Of Joseph Rojas

Went to Prison cont.

Wow! What a time!

Fishers of Men Ministries has been having a tent revival all week inside the Morgan County Corrections Complex.

Yes, there is a REAL tent inside one of the sections of the prison!

I went to minister, but I have been ministered to! It has been a truly amazing time!
Monday, 28 came forward,
Tuesday, 12,
Wednesday 11,
and tonight is the last night.
There have been some getting saved every night.

And the singing? Oh! What a time! I have to stop and remind myself while I'm there just exactly WHERE I'M AT!!! I've got my eyes closed, my hands raised to the heavens just worshiping GOD (1Tim 2:8), and then I realize I'm standing in a prison amongst convicted felons. Then I'm reminded of Paul and Silas.

"And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed." Acts 16:25-26 



Oh! I pray that ALL the prisoners would hear us pray and sing.
I pray that the LORD would shake the earth!
I pray that the LORD would open the doors of the their hearts and loose the bands of sin!



It is so hard to find words to describe what I've experienced this week.


This much I do know: when it started Monday night I was ashamed of myself. I am a free man and I go to church every time the doors are open. I "go" to church. These guys in prison "have" church! They don't have freedom to come and go as they please; church really means something to them! They NEED that place of refuge; they DEPEND on the hope that Jesus gives them.
I had to repent of that! These men in prison have taught me a lot, and I am thankful! It is my hope and prayer that GOD turns this back to them and blesses them 100 times over!

Went To Prison

Wow!!!

I went to Morgan County Prison last night with "Fishers of Men Ministries".

It is hard to describe what went on if you weren't right there beside me.

28 came forward, at least 2 got saved!

More soon!
