Two sermons: One in Soul Saving Center and one in the Street

It's a wonderful thing to obey the Holy Spirit!

After our service today where the Lord was high and lifted up and God is really showing Himself to be our faithful good good Father; I thought the rest of the day would be spent with family....and it was.  

But right after church I was driving my cousin home and turned down Olive St. and there were about 6 or 7 men hanging out....just looking like they needed a good dose of the Word.

I pulled the car over and some of them knew why I pulled over.  I dove right in as the Holy Spirit gave me words that were from His heart to them.  I could feel His love for them.  And the Lord was really stirring me to share the gospel in such a way that I felt an anointing that let me know that God had them there, waiting for the Word.  Oh how He loves His lost sheep!

They listened and as my mother remarked later...."Not one them walked away."  Sometimes one or two may walk but the majority listens....I've done this many times but I wanted to share today because the Lord really let me know so intensely how much He loves them.  They nodded, laughed and smiled as I shared the gospel with some humor and a lot of Scripture!   And I left them in thought because the Holy Spirit was at work and the devil had to stand back and watch!

All I can say is to God be the glory!!!  Jesus Loves Salem and He loves those men and as we stretch our hands out towards Salem every Sunday interceding for the people of this town called "Peace!"   I know God is at work....

I praise His Holy Name!!!

You Cannot Win with the devil, He's a spirit, but Jesus Can!!!

After the funeral service today where I ministered, I purposely went looking for people hanging out in Salem.... and there is always someone hanging out in Salem.
I parked my car and walked up to a group of guys and one guy I have shared the gospel with before had on "Dallas Cowgirls" attire.  I had to tell him that because I loved Jesus I was going to hug him.  Another guy said, "Uh Oh, that's an Eagles Fan!"  He didn't know me and we laughed at the way you can spot us as fans.

We talked and I shared the gospel with them....one guy stood a bit off to the side, but he listened.  I explained to them that they may have every intention of 2017 being a good year!  Their year to do something with their lives, but they devil has other plans for them....and unless they have Jesus as Lord of their lives, unless they have accepted Him and repented of their sins, they are still a slave to sin and therefore, slaves of the devil.....He knows the only weapon we have is Jesus...and the devil, he even believes it!  I told them they can't win with the devil because he is a spirit but He knows if we have Jesus in our lives, if we believe on the Lord and receive Him in their hearts that the devil would fear the God in them.  I told them how I gain victory over his plots against my life through the very name of Jesus!  I talked about how much God loves them....How much He loves Salem.

I continued to give the Word and one of the guys, said, "She got me crying over here...."  It was God revealing His truth to this man.

I invited them to church tonight and all the rest too.  I had introduced myself and talked to them about my Dad....and why I was out there....there's always someone who confirms my Dad's ministry to the streets.....and they know what I am doing out there.....

I praise God that they may not come to church tonight but they got the Word today!

Happy New Year!

Church After Church

After church on Sunday we always pass a group of people hanging out, not really doing anything but drinking and just doing what they do....

For some time now I have been feeling like I should stop and give them a taste of church via a mini sermon since they won't come to church...any church.  I haven't been stopping, just saying I should stop to myself.....so I repented to the Lord that I haven't been obeying Him after church.  With my Mom in the car I know she's usually very hungry after church....but that's no excuse.

This past Sunday I got out of my car and walked up to a group on Olive St.  I gave them the Word as my Mom waited in the truck for me.  She was fine.  Checking everybody out.  She knew some of the older guys and later told me that my Dad has preached to that man for years.

One girl walked up to me and asked if I was Chris's mom, I said yes and kept on sharing the gospel....They listened, even shook their heads...except for the man my Mom told me about, he walked away.  But he knows...he knows.....

There's something so cleansing about doing what God wants you to do.....there is nothing like it in the world!

...Shootings and Killings on Broadway

"...there have been recent shootings / killings on Broadway and retaliation is expected."

This is from an email I received this evening.....there was more but this is what made me turn off the TV and ask God what should I do.  I decided I needed to take my German Shepherd puppy Bella out to go and for me to pray.

I usually stay on my street at night and as I was praying for Salem I decided to keep walking onto Broadway....I approached some guys hanging out and asked them if it was true.....nothing....Was there a shooting?  Did someone get killed?  Someone mumbled something....and then like a mother who has been warning her children about the company they keep....even if THEY are the bad influence, I began to tell them that this is not God's plan for their lives...God loves them, He is the only one who can bring peace into their lives, into their homes, into this town....If God didn't love them, why are so many people praying for this town?  I told them that we pray for them all the time at Soul Saving Center.  I told them I was going to pray over this corner again as I have in the past....and I will continue to pray.  I let them know that God sent my father to preach the gospel and now I'm here and there is no fear, nothing intimidating me, nothing but love for them....I let them know I loved them.
No one moved.....I prayed out loud and asked God to not let another person lose their life because they are not ready to meet Him....I asked God to protect those young men and to go after them and deliver them from the evil that is controlling them.  I gave them to God and told them that I would continue to pray and that they need to give their lives to Jesus Christ.  The only way out!  I kept saying, "He Is The Only Way Out!   Before I left, one of the guys said, "We love you too.  We love you."

Bella was very good, very quiet and they couldn't believe she was just a 6 month old puppy.  I thank God for her temperament.  I can minister to the guys in the street at night and she's quiet and right there....I don't fear anyone...and the guys know that, but they are afraid to walk anywhere when she is there.....So God knew what He was doing when He chose Bella for me....Born in Egypt and living in Salem, NJ.  And on the mission field with her Mommy.  Sweet!

Please pray with all of us who are praying for Salem!  God loves this town!

He Came To Set The Captives Free!

My plan was to take my Mom to her Bible Study this morning in my lounging outfit, come back home and finish the laundry.  But God told me to get dressed, so I did.....I took her and decided, I might as well take Bella (who has to ride in the car now for everything!) for a good walk around the Pennsville Park area along the Delaware River.

On the way to the church to drop my Mom off, I rode pass a very familiar sight.  The ones who sit on the steps on Broadway, drinking starting very early in the morning.  The very sight of them made me so angry at the devil.....and I purposed that after I dropped my mother off I was going to stop there....By the time I got back there, I was so mad at the devil that I jumped out of the car like the Police!  Bella sitting inside looking at me like "Mommy, I thought you were taking me for a ride!"

I approached them and immediately the words came tumbling out.  God just gave me what to say to them and one of them has been to Soul Saving Center.  He has heard the gospel and I guess that's what really had me so pissed off at the devil.  I preached very hard this morning in the streets....I could feel the urgency in my spirit to preach the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ to them!

What the Lord would have them know is that  Jesus Came to Set The Captives Free!!!  That Jesus is Coming Again Soon!  That they are sitting in a dungeon and they are begin held captive by sin.

One young woman who was sitting there said to me, "I've been asking Jesus to come into my heart for 10 years.  How do I get Him into my heart?I've been praying lately too!"  I began to share Scriptures with her that explained the power that Jesus has to set her free and her responsibility is to believe on Jesus Christ!  To repent and to receive Salvation!  And then....Nurture that relationship....Some of them were even quoting John 3: 16 with me.....that really made me determined to expose the devil's works.  he was trying to make God's Word ineffective, and a lie!   No!!! he is the liar!!!

One of the guys said,  My grandmom is always trying to tell me I need to go to church but you don't have to go to church to have God in your life."  The Lord gave me an example of a newborn baby.  If I say I love the baby, oh what a cute baby I have and never feed it, change the diaper, clothe it, clean it, hold it....what will happen to the baby?  That's what happens when we accept Jesus....The relationship is real...it's beautiful...but it needs nurturing.  You find people that believe as you do, who can encourage you, pray for you, you learn songs  in church that will stay with you when you leave.  You listen to music that will feed your spirit.  And most of all, you learn the Word of God.....which teaches you how to live!  Nothing comes before the Word of God!  It is your lamp, your light, your map, your guidebook to living for Jesus.

I left them, telling them how much God loved them.  How much I loved them.  I know I defeated the devil's plans because I obeyed God and got dressed this morning.....I did a U turn in my truck and obeyed the Lord.  I interceded for them after I left them....Everyday is a WAR in the spirit!

He really loves the lost!  Please know this!  HE IS COMING BACK VERY SOON!!!  Interrupt people on the streets, everywhere and give them the gospel, in a tract, with a few sentences....and if God tells you to, preach the gospel in His Power!!!!  Don't be ashamed, don't be intimidated by the devil!   God is anointing those who will go and spread His gospel for such a time as this!

AMEN!

"I Will Save Your Children"

Today I hit the streets with one thought in my mind....Every young man I have shared the gospel with from the time I started in the streets until today, I am a Spiritual mom to them praying and preaching the gospel to them without ceasing, without fear....

Losing my Son Irvin Christopher Kornegay at the age of 32 has been the hardest most heartbreaking ordeal I have ever faced in my lifetime.  Today I was alone in the house and I just wailed, cried and prayed for God to send comfort....it was a hard day but the Lord wanted me to hit the streets tonight and so I did.  It did me a lot of good to be out there....I just wanted to hug them all.

I drove around Salem praying about where to stop, the young men are out there....I approached them and of course some began to scatter but I asked them to come back.  They did....

I talked to them about life being so precious, about hearing that everyone in Salem having a gun, about God's love for them demands a response from them.  I seemed to have run into young men who had people in their families who knew Jesus.  They responded with shaking their heads because they knew I was speaking the truth to them....No opposition from any so-called Muslims tonight.  (They are not adhering to the life of a Muslim because the true Muslims I know live much healthier lifestyles)
.
But the best thing that happened tonight for me is that God reminded me of the Scripture He gave to me a few years ago....Isaiah 49:25, "I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save."  I let them know that they were my Spiritual Children because I pray for them all of the time.  Some of them have mother's on drugs and have had no real love in their lives....the streets are all they know.  But I told them that I am praying for them and have been praying for them, that I love them, and that God has given me a promise that isn't just for my biological sons....but for them as well.

They received my words with such respect and acceptance.  I almost cried right there.
God has given me many sons....He took my baby to heaven, but as my friend Sara White reminded me, Christopher is God's son....He took His son back home....And I will see him again.
And now I have many sons that I am holding up in the throne room....God will save many of them that believe!

I was all over Salem tonight talking to young men and I got the same warm response.  I don't care how many have guns, getting high, stealing, robbing or killing....God said this and I'm standing on it.!  "I will contend with those that contend with you and your children I will save."

I'm claiming this Scripture for the young men in Salem.  They are beautiful young men who are destroying their bodies and their lives....but God will save them!  Amen!
