Jesus is Awesome Ministries

Ordained Pastor who loves Fellowship of the Saints & hates religion & big non personal Saint participating Churches. In the Bible, Jesus is clearly seen loving and ministering to those that the world, society, churches & religious folks - had forgotton about and left behind. We see examples of Jesus doing this loving type of “touch” ministry all through the Gospels. In Luke Chapter 14 we see Jesus

specifically showing us the example to reach out to those who are blind or disabled. Also see Matthew chapter 25: 31-46. Our desire at Jesus is Awesome is to follow these Biblical examples to love Others and to encourage Christians to also reach out to love & help Others. Especially those who Churches, Christians and the World - has forgotten. The lonely sad, hurting, poor, disabled & lost. This goes beyond your "denomination" or religion or church building. Thus is the very heart of JESUS, to love others - who the world & Church has forgotten. See Mark Chapter 5 See!. Listen people, for sure there is no shortage of Churches in the United States or religious activities, but there is a extreme & dangerous shortage of people ministering to the lost, sick, elderly, homeless, forgotten, hurt and lonely ones. Sometimes these people are as close to you as your neighbors, co workers or the senior or disability living center up the street.

-O Lord, I have heard Thy voice and was afraid. Thou hast called me to an awesome task in a grave and perilous hour. Thou art about to shake all nations and the earth and also heaven that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. * O Lord, my Lord, Thou hast stooped to honor me to be Thy servant. No man taketh this honor upon himself save he that is called of God as was Aaron. Thou hast ordained me, Thy messenger to them that are *stubborn of heart and hard of hearing. They have rejected Thee, the Master, and it is *not to be expected that they will receive me, the servant. My God, I shall not waste time deploring my weakness nor my unfittedness for the work. The responsibility is not mine, but Thine. Thou hast said, “I knew thee—I ordained thee—I sanctified thee,” and Thou hast also said, *** “Thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.” Who am I to argue with Thee or to call into question Thy sovereign choice? The decision is not mine, but Thine. So be it, Lord. Thy will, not mine, be done. Well do I know, Thou God of the prophets and the apostles, that as long as I honor Thee, Thou will honor me. Help me, therefore, to take this solemn vow to honor Thee in all my future life and labors— whether by gain or by loss, by life or by death—and then to keep that vow unbroken while I live. It is time, O God, for Thee to work, for the enemy has *entered into Thy pastures*, and the sheep are torn and scattered. False shepherds abound who deny the danger and laugh at the perils which surround Thy flock. The sheep are *deceived by these *** hirelings and follow them with touching loyalty while the wolf closes in to kill and destroy. I beseech Thee, give me sharp eyes to detect the presence of the enemy. Give me understanding to see, and courage to faithfully report what I see. Make my voice so like Thine own that even the sick sheep will recognize it and follow Thee. Lord Jesus, I come to Thee for spiritual preparation. Lay Thy hand upon me. Anoint me with the oil of the New Testament prophet. Forbid that I should become a religious scribe and thus lose my prophetic calling. Save me from the curse that lies dark across the *modern clergy: the curse of compromise, of imitation, of professionalism.**

Save me from the error of judging a church by its size, its popularity or the amount of its yearly offering. Help me to remember that I am a prophet —not a promoter, not a religious manager, but a prophet. Let me never become a slave to crowds. Heal my soul of carnal ambitions and deliver me from the itch for publicity. Save me from bondage to things. Let me not waste my days puttering around the house. Lay Thy terror upon me, O God, and drive me to the place of prayer where I may wrestle with principalities and powers and the rulers of the darkness of this world. Teach me self-discipline that I may be a good soldier of Jesus Christ. I accept hard work and small rewards in this life. I ask for no easy place. I shall try to be blind to the little ways that could make life easier. If others seek the smoother path, I shall try to take the hard way without judging them too harshly. *** I shall expect opposition and try to take it quietly when it comes. Or if, as sometimes falleth out to Thy servants, I should have grateful gifts pressed upon me by Thy kindly people, stand by me then and save me from the blight that often follows. Teach me to use whatever I receive in such manner that will not injure my soul nor diminish my spiritual power. And if, in Thy permissive providence, honor should come to me from Thy church, let me not forget in that hour that I am unworthy of the least of Thy mercies, and that ** if men knew me as intimately as I know myself, they would withhold their honors or bestow them upon others more worthy to receive them.
- And now, O Lord of heaven and earth, I consecrate my remaining days to Thee; let them be many or few, as Thou wilt. Let me stand before the great, or minister to the poor and lowly; that choice is not mine, and I would not influence it if I could. I am Thy servant to do Thy will, and that will is sweeter to me than position or riches or fame; and I choose it above all things on earth or in heaven. Though I am chosen of Thee and honored by a high and holy calling, let me never forget that I am but a man of dust and ashes, a man with all the natural faults and passions that plague the race of men. I pray Thee, therefore, my Lord and Redeemer, * save me from myself and from all the injuries I may do myself while trying to be a blessing to others. Fill me with Thy power by the Holy Spirit, and I will go in Thy strength and tell of Thy righteousness, even Thine only. * I will spread abroad the message of redeeming love while my normal powers endure. Then, dear Lord, when I am old and weary and too tired to go on, have a place ready for me above, and make me to be numbered with Thy saints in glory everlasting. AMEN.

-Throughout the years, Dr. Tozer renewed this covenant with God. As was Elijah, John the Baptist, Paul and Jesus, he was hated by many religious people during his time, but today is revered. Prophets are never accepted by religious people, not then and not now. importance of the ministry of the prophet in today’s church. The ministry of a prophet far exceeds his generation. The validity of a prophet is seen in his message. He never ask for money nor seeks popularity. He will be attacked and ridiculed by those in his inner circle. And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.” Jesus also said Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town, May God raise up more prophets today to speak the message into our generation and beyond.
