                                  “The Servant”                                          
 2 Timothy  2:24-26
A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone,
 be able to teach and be patient with difficult people.  Gently instruct
those who oppose the Truth.  Perhaps God will change those people's
hearts and they will learn the Truth.  Then they will come to their senses
 and escape from the Devil's trap.  For they have been held captive by him
 to do whatever he wants.  (NLT)

     A servant of God shares the “Good News” with people who are salves to sin and trapped in this dark and evil world that is headed for destruction.  The good news is; they don't have to go down with the ship.  The good news is; the Captain of the ship has already gone down for us and has come back to save those who want to be saved.  This is the greatest news for those who are far removed from the Truth and are going down with their master the devil.  For many of the saved, born again Christians, discovering the Truth and seeing this life as it really is, is quite hard to keep secret, because they know there is a Way out the darkness that consumes our world and enslaves its people.  When God reveals the Great Escape to us, we are blessed with real peace, hope and true joy, with the desire to share it with the many lost and hopeless souls who are blindly being lead to their slaughter.
     Many of these lost and desperate souls are crying out to the world for hope and peace and finding none, because the world cannot deliver what it does not know.  They are people who are weary of the of the lies and being let down. We must point these precious souls to their only Savior, Jesus Christ, for this is exactly what God wants all His servants to do, without shame and unafraid.  There will be many opportunities to share the “Good News” but let the Holy Spirit take the reins and guide you in your new life-journey as a servant of the Lord.  Allowing God to use you to do His will is always the best path to take.  The job of the servant is to follow the Master's Way, and that is spending each day in prayerful submission, so He can teach you and strengthen you for the day ahead.  The stakes are high as we watch this world quickly decaying. You are living in these last days of history for a good reason, my friends.  So, ask the Master, and it will be given to you.

                                        A Whisper of Hope                                           
I have saved you child...and you are mine.  I did for you what you could not do for yourself, now it is time for you to do a good work for Me.  I will prepare you for the work ahead and I will give you the tools to finish the work.  And know, I Am always with you even to the end of the age.

Romans 1:16-17
For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ.  It is the 
power of God at work saving everyone who believes—Jews first 
and also Gentiles. This Good News tells us how God makes us right 
in His sight.  This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the 
Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life” (NLT)


            Look at the proud! They trust in themselves 
                      and their lives are crooked; 
            but the righteous will live by their faith.

                                        (Habakkuk 2:4)
