It's All Because He Loves Us!

Yesterday I went on a prayer walk and passed out tracts. When I'm drawn to someone while walking, It's clear that God is directing my footsteps. This is what happened yesterday as I walked towards Anderson Drive....I saw two women sitting on a bench engaged in conversation and my heart was drawn to them. I gave them a tract and shared the gospel with them. God just wanted them to know how much He really loved them. He wanted them to hear why He wakes them up, why He spared their lives and why He is keeping them today, why He sent His Son and why they are searching for satisfaction but never finding it....What they are looking for is "Real Love" Love that comes from Jesus. God was really demonstrating His love for them as I spoke softly to them. They were so receptive as I shared Jesus with them and invited them to church. I praise God for allowing me to meet these two women....they need my Jesus and He wants to rescue their lives from sin because He Loves Them! I told them that! Walking away I pondered in my heart how God had me speak in such a warm and quiet manner to them. When I'm ministering to the "tough street element" I sometimes remind myself of my Dad who would sometimes proclaim what God told him to say straight up and raw. "It's appointed once for a man to die, and after death comes judgement...YOU WILL MEET GOD and You will answer to Him for rejecting His Son Jesus! These women faces seemed hardened by a lifetime of hard living, but God had me approach them in a much softer way. God is teaching me that I must be sensitive to His voice and listen for instruction in how to approach people. Sometimes He sends the gospel in the form of fire and sometimes it's a quiet conversation. He showed me that He knows each and every person because "All Souls Are Mine." ( Ezekiel 18: 4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.) That verse alone drives me to share the gospel. I praise God for their receptiveness to the gospel. And for everyone who took a tract yesterday! And I thank God for more on the job training in approaching people. Continuing on my walk I praised God. I realize that He urges me on because He loves these people of Salem...He's at work here!

"There is something in you that you do better than those around you...That's God's gift to you!"

The message was loud and clear! Today in the streets of Salem, NJ the Lord had a running theme for the young teens, the younger adults and the old heads....God wanted them to know that it's not too late to take what He has given them and go be what He planned for them to be....But they have to Give Jesus their lives and make Him Lord of all in order to overcome the wicked one who would steal, kill and destroy everything God gave to them. On Union St, there were some guys hanging out...I had prayed while walking that everything I said came straight from Him and help them receive the truth. I walked up to this guy to give him a tract and he just looks at it, "What's this?" "It's just reading literature I said. "He gave me a hard look and said, "I'm Muslim. No." Smiling, I said, "And I'm just a harmless lady." I shoved the tract closer to him and he took it. The tract read, "This Is Your Life" I said, "Thank you" And walked away. I thought about what I said and I began to praise God for the clever way He led me to get this guy to take a tract. What threat could a harmless lady pose to a towering, menacing looking Muslim in dark shades when the sun was no where around? If he only knew....I began smiling as I thought to myself..."I'm harmless to you, but I can chase a thousand!!!! I'm bloodwashed, I'm as bold as a lion, He has taught my hands to war and my fingers to do battle....I'm more than a conqueror!!! "devil I got your harmless!!!" In the end, he will read the truth of the gospel in that tract....Praise God because God chose that one just for him! I handed out more tracts on Union St and headed to Olive. That was good! Thank you Lord!!! Olive Street! Busy! Guys hanging out....but I saw one young guy who looked strung out and I hadn't seen him since last summer when I told him some things about what God was going to do in his life. I asked him, "Do you remember me?" He said, "Yea" I told him that everything I told him about Jesus saving him, that he will live for Him and lead others to Jesus still stands. "No matter what you are doing today. You will be saved." I asked him if I could hug him and he hugged me...He is heavy on my heart....I give him to Jesus right now and I believe what you said Lord, You will save him and death will not beat you to him...in Jesus Name! Amen. I walked up to a group of young people and began to talk to them about the abilities and gifts God had given them. I was able to give them a mini sermon on what those gifts were to be used for in their lives. I talked to them about growing up in Salem and having musical talent and how the Bible says, "Don't neglect the gifts that are in you...but give yourself wholly to them. I talked to them about dropping bad habits and everything that would hurt their chances for success. I talked to them about giving their lives to the One who gave them their gifts and talents and watch what He does with their lives....I told them I have traveled the world and it is because God opened doors for me to use the gifts I have and those gifts made a way for me in this world. At the end of my mini sermon I told them that we just had church! They were so polite, accept one who kept being distracting but I ignored her and so did her friends after a while. Their gifts....that's what God wanted me to remind them about. I spoke to a group of guys up the street and the Lord had me talk to them about almost the same things...only because they were older, the Lord wanted me to let them know that they can still be all He has destined to them to be....missed opportunities have happened but God still has a plan for them....because they are still here. Again, they were all ears, quiet and listened! God wanted these people, young and older to know that they were fearfully and wonderfully made! That He has a purpose and a plan for their lives...the thief wants to destroy everything God has given them and their only way to win is to give their hearts to the One the devil fears....Jesus! I thank God for helping me, being with me and shining through me....I couldn't do this without Him!

Mandy

Me:  "Excuse me, may I please give you this?"
Mandy: "What is it?"
Catching up to her, "It's just something to read about God.  My name is Mikki, Just wondering....Do know about Jesus?"
Mandy, "I grew up in church."
Me: "You did?  So you know about Jesus loving you and dying on the cross for our sins?  And what's you're name?"
Mandy, "Mandy, And, Yes.  I know."
Me: "Well what happened?  Why don't you go to church anymore?"
Mandy, "It's a long story,  a lot happened to me."
Me: "And you lost your faith in God?"
Mandy:  "Yeah I did."
Me:  "When I was 6 years old Mandy, a family friend molested me.  I grew up feeling like something was wrong with me.  I was affected by what was done to me in so many ways.  It wasn't until I was 50 years old that God took the pain of the abuse, helped me to forgive, and set me free from it all.  I can't tell you why God let this happen to me, but He delivered me and set me free!"
Mandy:  "My father molested me all of my life."

Me:  "Oh Mandy, I'm sorry....I can't explain why God allowed this to happen to you but I can explain why the devil used your father and that man to abuse us as children...."

I explained God's Love and the devil's hatred for us....I talked to Mandy about the chains on her life as a result.  I invited her to church....

Me:  "Where were you on your way to?  I will walk with you."
Mandy: "I was on my way to a drug dealer's house to get my money for my rent."
Me:  "Mandy,  Jesus can set you free from all of this.  This is not the life God wants you to have.  He really loves you and just like He saved me, He will save you.  You still have faith because the Bible says God gave us all a measure of faith....Would you come to church tomorrow?"
Mandy:  "If my boyfriend let's me, I can come."

My heart broke in a thousand pieces as I tried not to cry in front of her.....

Me:  "Mandy, can I pray for you right here, right now?"
Mandy:  "Yes"

I prayed against everything....and I mean everything....from the drugs to the boyfriend to the pain of her childhood and her life....and sense of worthlessness......IN JESUS' NAME!

I walked with her a little ways and gave her a tract....

Leaving Mandy,  I could hardly walk....I prayed for her in the Spirit and I had to quickly stop pleading with God for her and thank Him for sending me to her to give her HOPE.   There were some guys up the street and I had to get my joy back so I could minister to them....and I did!  Praise God!

PLEASE  PLEASE PLEASE PUT MANDY ON YOUR PRAYER LIST AT YOUR CHURCH....ON YOUR PERSONAL PRAYER LIST/WALL/JOURNAL....JUST PRAY FOR HER....

If you were with me today....meeting Mandy would have broken your heart....

I walked away interceding in the Spirit for her....I believe God sent me to her....He's going to set her free!!!  He's going to save her!

I need you to pray with me!

Thank you!

ATTACK!!!!!!

This is not personal....The battle is the Lord's!  And He has given the command to attack!!!

This morning before the sun came up, I was up hearing the command to ATTACK!!!  I also woke up with the Scripture/Song "NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER BUT BY MY SPIRIT SAYS THE  LORD OF HOST!  THIS MOUNTAIN SHALL BE REMOVED!"  I sang it all morning while preparing to go where the Lord said to go.  I called my Sister Connie who is a mighty prayer warrior and we met between our homes in the dark.

God had instructed me to war against a business that is literally a hub for demonic activity and where New Age practices flourish. while walking there the words kept welling up in my spirit, ..."Not By Might..."

Connie and I got to the location and began to pray.....Looking through the window, we could see there were things hanging on the walls that the Lord had told me speak against before I got there and when I saw them on the wall, I was not surprised....God was giving me an advantage in this war.....the enemy's tactics were exposed!  Crystals were everywhere and Connie and I wrestled against principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places....and when we felt the victory was ours we declared it out loud so every devil present could hear!

We continued walking but we knew we had left Angels warring and kicking demon's butts all over the place!!!  Not by Might, Nor By Power, but By MY SPIRIT SAYS THE LORD OF HOST!

So why go up against this business?

Because simply put, the wickedness is allowed to move about freely as the people unbeknownst to them, are conjuring up more demonic forces that will join forces with the demons that are already here.  The more activity and success this business has, the more influence the devil gains to his  advantage as they engage more people to become interested in new age practices....even distracting  and deceiving Christians with their "Holistic" approach to their well being....

But Peace and Love and Joy are all found through Jesus Christ....And any other means to achieve this is counterfeit and has originated in hell.

Please be aware that Jesus is so soon to come and the enemy has a strategical mindset that is in full effect because he knows his time is short here on earth.....All praise to JESUS who always causes us to triumph over the enemy because Connie and I obeyed the command to ATTACK!

But you know?  When Connie and I walked there to pray this morning, there was no supernatural surge of power flowing through us....just faith in God that HE WILL FIGHT AND WIN!!!  No mystical far out vibes going on....just believing what the Bible says about God fighting our battles!

Make no mistake....this is not personal as I stated....Connie and I are believing God to save the owner of the business...we know God loves them and Jesus paid an awful price on the cross for their Salvation.....But He also rose with all power in His hand and demons and dominions are under subjection to us who believe and know that there is power in the Blood of the Lamb!

Be very aware of what is taking place around you.  Listen for the command to go to war and get prayed up...keep your spirits clean so that the Holy Spirit can intercede and move through you resulting in VICTORY!!

But thanks be unto God, who always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savor of his knowledge in every place.  2 Cor. 2:14

In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.  Colosians 2:15

.2 Corinthians 10:  4The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ

One more chance to get it right....

Today the first group of men I encountered on a porch were all receptive but one....every time I gave him a tract, he passed it to his buddies who all took them.  When I tried to give him one he told me he knew all that...gave his heart to Jesus and he was hostile towards me telling me God let his sister die and she was a good person....why did He do that?  He was very belligerent towards everything I had to say and I realized he had the guy's attention as they watched him challenge me.   The Holy Spirit is an amazing on the spot teacher because I understood that I needed to shut him down with the truth of the gospel...I told him that we were all going to die.  We all will face God.  I told him that he's still here because God is giving him another chance to repent and give his heart to Jesus.  He said "I already did."  I looked at him and so did his buddies.  Had it went with that, he would have convinced them all that they were alright and didn't need Jesus...meanwhile they all looked like they had one foot in hell and one on a banana peel!  So I answered him aggressively...."You do not have the Light of the Lord in your eyes...You need to get ready to meet God because you will die too and you are not ready to meet Jesus!  The devil has blinded your eyes so you cannot see the truth but I am telling you the truth and it will set you free.  The devils believe and tremble at this truth!"  I told them I was coming hard at them because the devil is coming hard at them and he's winning so far....They were all quiet...including the loud one....I sang for them....and left them all....With Click Tracts!  Thanks Claudia Fuse!!!  My Girl!!!

I ventured down Union St and gave out tracts to more guys...younger guys and they all listened to me...they were respectful and the Lord had me lighten my approach....I gave them the Word and they gave me their time.  I told them I was fighting for their souls which would live in eternity either in heaven or hell....I was there to fight for their place in heaven but it was up to them....Praise God.

Next I went to Olive St....some guys were hanging out and they all took tracts except for the Muslim....The Lord led me to bypass him this time.....but there will be a time when we will meet again.  I got a chance to minister to a guy who had just come out of the Liquor store....he was ripe for the Word and let me pray for him right there on the streets....Praise God!

After I left him I went to the Motel and gave out tracts....I found myself crying in the car when I got back in....begging God to rescue the people I encountered.....I felt the heaviness of the world on them and I stormed heaven for them asking Him to go after each and every one....

I ministered to the guys on the corner telling them the devil was selling them a cheap bill of goods when Jesus has a life for them....full of every possibility....

God will win this war.....I just know He will....He loves these people so much!

  2 Corinthians 4: 4-6
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn upon them .
 5For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus'sake. 
6Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Today as I walked down Broadway on my way to the East Side Projects, I passed some young guys, one of which said, "Cousin Mikki!?!?!"  I still don't know who he was, but I didn't let him know that.....I hugged him and talked to him about my son Irvin Christopher and shared with him the miracle that God did.  He said he was following on Facebook and knew it was very serious....God got the glory as I shared the miracle working power of Jesus to heal!  (I shared Chris's story several times in the streets today, it made the devil so mad cause he tried to kill my son!)

 I gave him and his friends Bibles, I told them that there is life in those pages....as I always pray that God brings to life the Words and that God show them the way out as His Word is a Lamp unto our feet!

I met a guy who told me he was from Penns Grove, NJ...I asked him if he knew my Dad, Rev. Irvin Hinmon?  He said, "Yes! Rest His Soul....Soul Saving Center in PennsGrove!!  I lived down the street from there I went to Soul Saving Center all the time!"  I told him that I was my Dad's daughter and that Soul Saving Center was down the street here in Salem.  He began to repeat, "Soul Saving Center....over and over again and began to cry."  He said, "I have this pint in my hand and you are telling me about God...."  He cried and I hugged him.  His sad yellow eyes looked like he really needed the light of the Lord to invade the darkness inside of him.  I shared the gospel with him and I reminded him so much of my Dad all he could do was cry.  I'm praying for him....I invited him to Soul Saving Center....the church of his youth.

I saw a woman who was sitting on the steps of an abandoned building.  I've shared the gospel with her before and put her name on my War Room Wall.  As I sat down next to her on the steps and talked to her, she cried....I again told her how much Jesus loves her but the devil was blinding her to the truth.  I gave her the gospel hard because she's living a life that is hard.....and as she  admitted to me, "It's not working."  

I handed out some Bibles and other Outreach materials at the Projects and saw a 10 year old girl "running things" in the projects!  She was intimidating her friends and just being a bully!  I targeted her and asked her to come to church with me tomorrow....I told her I would pick her up.  I know if she gives her heart to Jesus, she can be a serious mouthpiece for Jesus!  I've been talking to her mother and her family about the Lord and we are going to help them out at Christmas.  Her mother has 6 children and works at McDonalds. I'm praying for her family.....They are always in my heart and in my prayers.

I witnessed to a man leaving the liquor store....in his motorized riding chair....He needed to know about Jesus....time is running out for him!

I walked past Olive St.....No one was there!  PRAISE GOD!  Angels on Guard Duty!!!

The Lord told me to walk to the Motor Lodge and I did....but when I got there no one was there....I prayed, "Lord, I know you told me to come here....so I will wait"  Soon after a young man came up and was going into the Motor Lodge.  I shared the gospel with him thoroughly!  I hit him hard with the truth of the gospel and gave him a Bible.  I figured he was my target and so I was going to give him everything I could to shine the light of the gospel on his heart.  He listened intently and thanked me for talking to him....

God knows why...God knows who....God knows what.....

I'm not preaching about myself....I'm shedding the light of this glorious gospel in the dark places....

Jesus Is Coming Soon!  The people I interacted with today were chosen by God...And so I pray that each person that I shared Jesus with will come to know Him as Lord and Savior of their lives....

In Jesus' Name!
