Message: “Dead Man Walking”
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
(Romans 6:23.)
Saints, do you remember the popular saying, “Dead Man Walking?”
“The idiom, Dead Man Walking was popularized by the book, and Movie, “The Green Mile,” in the 1990’s, as well as the non -fiction book about the Death Penalty by Sister Helen Prejean, “Dead Man Walking. "Sister Prejean, is a Roman Catholic Nun, who was a leader in the Movement to abolish the Death Penalty. Sister Helen Prejean became a Spiritual Advisor, to a convicted killer on death row. He called upon Sister Prejean to help him with his final appeal, that he was innocent of the murders. As things began to look bleak for him, Sister Helen does all she can to comfort and console the hardened criminal.”
Sister Prejean was committed to help and/or save a soul.
Although the movie, “Dead Man Walking is based on a true story, it is very important for us to look at the spiritual connotations present, and in this phase, “Dead Man Walking.”
“A Dead Man Walking is “a condemned man walking from his prison cell to a place of ex*****on. Informal any person in a doomed or untenable situation.” At this point, it may come to your mind, as surely as it came to mine, how can a dead man walk? It is important to note that this message is not just about men per se, but includes any person that is alive,
(except for children who have not reached the age of accountability) and have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, they have not repented, or asked Jesus Christ to forgive them of their sins.
Jesus Christ does not live in their hearts. To be frank, they are not saved, they will be condemned to death in hell
fire. …” the soul that sinneth, it shall die.” (Ezekiel 18:4.)
Saints, the Bible reminds us, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” (John 9:4.)
Saints, thousands of souls are dying daily, without Jesus Christ. Sicknesses, afflictions, diseases and pestilences are on the uprise. Also, death, evil and destruction are rapidly covering the earth. People are suffering from mental, emotional and physical illnesses. Saints, time is running out! We must be about the Father’s Business of Saving Souls!
As previously mentioned in this message, Sister Helen Prejean was committed, to comfort, console and to help save a soul. My question to you is, are you committed to help save a soul(s)? Do you care?
MOST OF US ARE SAVED TODAY, BECAUSE SOMEONE CARED ENOUGH TO PRAY FOR OUR SOULS. Praise God!
When have you prayed that a Soul(s) would be Saved? Not just prayed for your family members, relatives or friends, but prayed for “Lost Souls” in the states, cities, and throughout the whole world? Remember, the Bible says, “
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind.
Nor thieves nor covetous, nor drunkards. Nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” (1Corinthians
6: 9 -10.)
These people are (Dead Men Walking to their death, because they do not belong to Jesus Christ.
Let’s start this year 2022, out by praying MORE for
Lost Souls. We will pray more prayers and supplications. We will pray more prayer of intercession. We will fast more for lost souls. We will witness to more Lost Soul(s), and we will pray to the Lord to increase our faith, to believe that many souls will be Saved! I am reminded of the old hymn, “Throw Out the Lifeline, someone is Drifting Away.” Saints in the words of a popular Comedian, “Let’s Get Busy!”
Too many Dead Men Are Walking!
Pray, Intercede, and Believe!
