The “Water for Life Now” Ministry went into the City of Tampa to continue following the LORD's command, ministering to the hungry and homeless.
There was a sweet addition today, “Baskets of Love”. These were baked Banana Muffins (offered in baskets) that was given and received so eagerly by those in need.
John whom we’d mentioned earlier wanted Blueberry muffins so I promised him that he’ll have his request next week. He is still skipping and so full of joy. John is changing: He has cut off his braids/locks and is visibly happy. He was able to obtain a temporary place to sleep, and has paid in advance. Glory to God. This is the young man who was contemplating suicide. God is so very faithful. He was told that he will be adorned in a suit and will be preaching the word of God to others: Guess what? He did not deny nor was uncomfortable with those words, in fact he agreed: please, please continue to pray for him.
Our Luci needs prayers, I didn't see her: she was sitting in a different spot . I did meet another young lady, who was openly rolling a joint.
These people have a lot of strongholds in their lives, and it’s going to take consistent, and persistent prayers for their deliverance.
Ms Matilda is steadily waiting for her “New” Computer, she has not failed to thank me daily in claiming it for her: I’m believing God that she will have this Computer before the end of January. If there’s anyone out there who would like to donate a computer for this lady, she would be so grateful. She told me over and over again what a Blessing that would be to her, The Computer she had before was 16 years old. She said she would be able to do contribute her time and do so much for the homeless. (Remember she was in the same position being homeless only 5 years ago.
There’s a lot to be done, and it shall be done as we take up the mantle to be committed Ambassadors of the LORD. Amen!

ReplyDeleteThe “Water for Life Now Ministry” was truly blessed today with the addition of (2) dedicated persons who share the same passion in reaching out to the homeless in Tampa Bay .
NC and EM, mother and daughter-in-law were more than willing to make 60 sandwiches, and 97 Muffins for the cause of feeding the hungry.
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works? Can faith save you? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill," and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So faith by itself, if it has not works, is DEAD.
James 2:14-17 NRSV
The day started out later than normal: but God who is Sovereign knew why we had to get there at the time we did. We were able to feed and minister to more persons than we normally do. They were very, very grateful for all the efforts that we put into going to see them.
There was a young man that was so broken. He could not look at me, I could not get him to receive from us……this was obviously something “new” he has never encountered before. I did not insist, I simply stepped aside and began praying for him.
We were able to see some of the regulars, that we see every week.
John whom I’d mentioned before celebrated his 31st birthday, on Saturday January 28th and, was still celebrating when we saw him. Please continue to pray for John. He has been locked into the spirit of homosexuality since the age of 9 years old: but we all know that GOD is able to do a miracle in John’s life. John told us sometime ago that he knows in his heart that GOD wants to use him in the ministry…please PRAY.
There is such a burden for these people, and it will take continuing, persevering prayers to get them to see themselves loved by the Almighty GOD. They need to know that GOD has a plan for each of their lives, and they are very special in HIS eyes.
