A Great Conversation!

Wow!  It's been a while since I have ventured into the streets....but today was such a beautiful day....I couldn't wait to take a Prayerwalk and see where God would lead me.

I walked quite a ways and then ended up on the corner of Olive St and Broadway where some guys were hanging out.  I prayed about what to say to the young men who were there and what came out of my mouth was:

"God Loves You, and when you feel something inside of you telling you that you need to make a change, if you feel something isn't right with your life and  you know it's God knocking....Just say "Yes"  Don't try to change yourself, just say Yes to Him and He will do all of the work.  He really loves you!"

A guy was on the phone and asked me what I said because he didn't hear me,  I pretty much told him the same thing.

This young man was the peer leader of the group.  He grew up in Salem but now lives elsewhere but comes back to talk to the young brothers, he used to be worst than all of them he told me.  He had the respect of all of the guys out there, I could see....  After I left him I knew why God chose him for me to spend time with.....And we blocked everyone out and really had a great conversation!  God is so awesome!

He didn't believe in the Bible, the Koran or any religious book because he felt they were created to manipulate and control "Our People."  I shared my testimony with him.  Because when you talk to people who don't believe the Bible the most powerful tool you have at your disposal is Your Testimony!  Who can refute what God did in  your life?  And so I spoke of the freedom I now live in, the peace of God that surrounds me that lives in me, the hope of eternal life and a love so strong that I had to stop and talk to him about it!

He didn't believe in the afterlife....He didn't know what happens after you die.  He said no one can know....who came back from the dead and told us what would happen?  No one!  I answered him with the Word...."It is appointed once for man to die.... and after death comes the judgement!"

I asked him to explain more of his belief system to me.  I listened and after he talked, Bible verses kept coming....after a while he got used to me answering him with references to the Bible.  I never interrupted him but I never forgot what he said, (Which I tend to do sometimes)  that was God storing up His Word in my head to give back when it was my turn to talk.

We talked about some of the horrible things that happened both of our lives.  The difference was between him and me is that God healed me, I chose to forgive and I live in Freedom.....He on the other hand told me he lives with rage....that unfair thing that happened to his family member makes him want to kill the person that did it.  That was another opportunity to share how powerful my God is to make things right that were oh so wrong, and how He is all powerful to heal and to save! 


He and I talked until it began to get dark outside.  I told him I didn't want to leave him but I have a curfew....  He then began to ask me to pray for the rage that lives in him .....I told him I would pray....We shook hands......

As I walked away towards home I prayed for him. I  prayed about the rage he feels and will continue to pray for him that God unravels the false belief system that will land him in hell and that God does miraculous things in his life.   You pray too!

It was soo good to be out there today!

Seeds and The Prodigal Sons....

This early evening was a beautiful time to walk through Salem.  I got to share the gospel with some very special people....Young men that God is married to....Backsliders....Prodigal Sons....

I realized while I was walking and praying before I encountered anyone that God was going to get the glory out of my time in the streets....I just knew it but I didn't know what He was going to do...I just asked Him to lead me as I walked....

I started out on Union St and talked to some young guys about a New Start in Jesus....If any man be in Christ Jesus He is a New Creation...the hugs, the Word....All good stuff!   Praise God!!!


I did the same thing on Olive St and walked down Broadway when I encountered my first young Prodigal who agreed with everything I said and was mouthing some of the Scriptures I was quoting....He knew the Word....He knew the truth but he was not Free.....The  Lord was ministering to him as I shared the Love of Jesus and how precious he is to the Lord.  I invited him to church and left him there remembering that God loved him....God had not forgotten him....

I encountered so many more people on the streets...all receptive to this glorious gospel of Jesus Christ!
The next group of young boys were hanging out on Walnut St and they were hanging out like they were practicing to be the "dudes on the corner."  I shared with them the greatness that God put in them...and that they will be all they can be and more once they give their lives to Jesus because He has great plans for their lives....It was a good talk and I invited them to church.

But when I turned the corner onto Wesley St there was another Prodigal Son....I didn't know who he was but he knew me.  He told me that he used to walk with Jesus but he left God.  He didn't even want to say the words, "I left God"  It was like it was something he didn't want to hear himself say.   He asked me to give him time....I told him, "Now you know I have no control over how much time you have..."  I walked and talked with him a little further and told him not to wait too long because Jesus is coming so very soon!

I turned up Olive Street again...which I don't normally do, if I hit a street, I go another way...but I got to the corner of Olive and Broadway and had a conversation with woman and a man that really needed to hear the gospel.  I gave them the Word in Love and they knew what I was saying was true.  They grew up in church....someone had planted the seeds already.....I happened along to water....God will give the increase.

I got by the Liquor store a few feet away and in a car were sitting two guys....they were brothers...someone had just left their car and they were cursing and carrying on...still the Lord had me walk up to the car....the brothers knew me and I knew them....I knew that they knew the Word of God I remembered them when we were all much younger singing in church and worshiping God.  They knew me too and after the ruckus that took place just before I approached their car, they looked like they weren't ready to hear about Jesus.....But I talked to them and told them it was time to get out of that life....I said you know the truth and you living a life that you know God did not call you to live....I reminded them that Jesus was coming....SOON!  They nodded and told me they knew what I was saying was true and I continued to give them the Word....It was amazing how quiet and attentive they were.  It was if the Holy Spirit was holding them captive as I shared Jesus with them....They avoid everything "Jesus" so as not to be reminded of who they are....Backsliders who God is married to....but it was beautiful....the whole scene...in front of the Liquor Store....Jesus being high and lifted up....the devil kept at bay...and the situation just before I got there with the cursing and carrying on....it was as if it never happened. God is so amazing!

I continued to walk, headed home and I encountered another Prodigal Son....I talked to him and he recognized me.....I talked to him about his soul and there was another agreeing with every word...someone had planted a seed....I was watering....

So many seeds have been sown in this town called Peace....So many Prodigal Sons....So much Love the Father has for them all.....Thank you God for this Saturday evening!  It was Fruitful!!!  God Loves Salem, NJ and He is at work here!!!

.....Angels pushed her towards me....

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 2 Corinthians 4:4 <> <> I praise God for what just happened! I am not going to my personal page on FB for a few days because I am on a quest to know Him more, grow in Him more, I want more of Jesus! I need God to lead me as I lead Soul Saving Center's ministry in 2016....But I had to share what just happened. I was at the bank making a deposit and an elderly white lady leaves the counter and instead of walking around me as I was in line, she walked directly towards me....I thought to myself, "Is she going to walk over me?" But she walked up to me and said, "I hope nobody asks me how I'm doing because I've got 30 problems right off the back and I'm just getting started." I said to her, "Give them to God, He can help you." She said to me, "Aw, He can't help me, He's too tired." I was spiritually offended by her remark and then I was more angry at the devil for lying to her.... She slowly walked out the door with her cane, and I followed her... I quietly said, " Excuse me Ms, God is All Powerful! He can do anything! He Loves YOU!" She began to raise her voice at me, "I don't want to hear that!!!" I quickly responded, "You need to know that Jesus Loves You! the devil is lying to you! God is All Powerful to deliver you!" She kept yelling, she didn't want to hear what I was saying. I told her, "You walked up to me....God had you walk up to me!" She slowly walked off and I went back into the bank. When I got in my car, she was parked right next to me. I had begun to quietly intercede for her once I left the bank and when I saw her next to my car I really interceded for her. I came home and told my Mom what happened and she said, "She will never forget what you said. God is dealing with her." I realize angels pushed her in my way. God is getting her attention.....He doesn't want her to enter eternity without the chance to make Jesus Lord of her life..... As I seek God for Soul Saving Center and for all that he is placing in my heart....I praise Him for just letting me know that the war is always raging and He has counted me as one of His soldiers! Praise God!

Go Tell It On The Mountain! And everywhere in Salem!

Wow, It's been a while since I have blogged about the ministry of Soul Saving Center in the streets but what a perfect night to write about all that has been going on....There has been a lot of one on one ministry going on....always taking advantages of the opportunity to shine for Jesus as He puts people in my pathway....It's no coincidence! God ordained it! I've been ministering a lot to people on a one on one basis and I couldn't share everything....but what a way to begin Christmas! Back out in the vineyard....sowing seeds for the Kingdom!!! Tonight I was doing some last minute shopping and a young lady stops me and asks for change. I asked what she wanted it for and she told me some story but at the end, she said she hadn't eaten so I told her to get into my car and I would take her to get something....she kept asking for change and I kept giving her the gospel while I ordered her food. The young girl who checked us out looked at me and said, "I'm trying to figure out how I know you..." Then she realized, "You stopped me in the street and talked to me about God and gave me a book, I like that book! I still have it!" I looked at the young woman in the car with me and said, "See? God had you ask me for something because He wants you to know that He is your only way out!" And I gave her more of the gospel before letting her out of my car. She was just one of the people I encountered this Christmas Eve.... My husband and I went to the home of the mother with the 5 children and delivered every gift! The gifts took up the whole living room practically!!!! Thank you to everyone who made their Christmas so wonderful! I will be sending you pictures of the them privately to your inbox. I shared the Christmas story with them and had my ipod hook up so I could sing "Joy To The World" with my back up track, ala Whitney Houston....they were so excited and happy to be surrounded by the gifts and before we left, I led them in a prayer to ask Jesus to come into their hearts! It made my Christmas!!!! I used the gifts that were all around them to lead them to the greatest gift of all! Jesus!!! I went out into the streets following my visit there and got greetings and hugs from so many! I sang for them and reminded them about God's Love for them and why He sent His Son to save them. The Muslims let me know they didn't celebrate Christmas but my message still hit them where they lived! The life that they are living will result in death because the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord! They could't deny that the things they are doing to their bodies will one day destroy them....I told them to look around at all the washed up people walking the streets, who used have dreams and be young energetic....now they are all washed up with no respect from their children, no achievements, no dreams fulfilled and no God in their lives....I talked about the devil's plan and God's plan for their lives and ended it all with the Love of God that caused Jesus to come and give His life! Boom!!! That's it! I shared the gospel on several more streets and people were receptive....many were wasted but they heard me! This was my Christmas gift to the people in the streets tonight....the Message of Salvation! "GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN!!! THAT JESUS CHRIST IS BORN!!"

God's Truth Cuts Through Everything!

I have so much to journal about, Jesus is so very soon to come and He's revealing His truth as we share the gospel. As far away as this world is drifting from God, God is causing people to stop! listen! and think! That's what happened in the streets tonight! First of all I went to Anderson Drive and saw some older guys hanging out in the back. I told them that Jesus was coming soon and asked them were they ready, they all said, yes! I asked them if they've asked Jesus to come into their lives as Lord and Savior....of course they answered, "Everyday, I ask Him." So I shared the gospel....they wanted to know what denomination I was, and I told them, "When you stand before God, He's not going to ask you if you were Baptist, Methodist or Seven Day Adventist, He's going to want to know if You accepted His Son Jesus Christ into your hearts. Have you been redeemed by the blood that Jesus shed on the cross for you....And when I finished I asked again, "Have you accepted Jesus in your heart?" They weren't so quick to answer this time and I left them with this thought...."The day you hear my voice, harden not your heart." I said, "When you start thinking about your mortality, when you feel like you need to make a real change...that's God pulling at your heart....respond to Jesus by accepting Him.....I told them who I was and they knew my Dad....they understood why I spoke to them as I did and I appreciated their receptiveness to the Word....They listened! God is at work! I then went to the home of the family that some of my wonderful friends blessed during Thanksgiving and checked in. The mother gave me a hug when I handed her the gift that Seeds of Greatness gave me for her family. She was busy preparing for her eldest son's birthday. She thanked me for everything I have done and I told her that it was a joint effort from people who care. I asked about Thanksgiving and she said it was really really nice! I told her that Christmas is covered too! I pray God invades their lives and changes the course of everything!!! Walking down Broadway, I ran into a high school classmate....he and the guy that I bought a tent for and my friend Connie fed were wasted...still I gave them the gospel and the tent guy was like, "I'm listening, I'm not saying anything back, cause I know she's right." (We've come a long ways from the summer when he used to almost dare God to make himself real because as far as he could tell, God could care less about him!) Anywayz....My classmate started telling me how he was responsible for making it through the time in the military, and basically taking credit for being alive! I asked him could I pray for him and he said yes....I went to war against every demon within a 100 mile radius! I knew who the enemy was and I attacked hell. God will make Himself known to this foolish man....because I asked Him to...He loves him no matter how stupid he talks. I went to the Motel and gave out tracts as I did the whole time I was walking....I encountered several groups of young teens and shared the gospel with them. I spent the rest of my time talking to Muslims on Olive St. One of the guys asked me about Christ, so I ended up sharing Chris's story...my son's story has reached many people. Even the Muslims who knew did not dispute me when I said, Jesus healed Chris! I gave them a full detailed story about how God told me to rebuke death when the doctor said he was going to die....they listened intently. God made them listen...I could tell the Holy Spirit was gripping them with the truth that this is not just a story! This really happened!!!! This God I'm talking about Is Real! This Jesus Christ that I pray in His name really heals! The story is REAL! IT Is The TRUTH and it is something that cannot be denied. At the end the two who really knew Chris hugged me and one said, "I may not stay for the entire church service but I will come to church and get a hug..." I answered, "And a song?" "Yes, and a song!" I came home praising my Savior because I am armed with truth and love! This gospel is the Truth! Jesus is coming so soon, I share this because I love them, God loves them!

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!
