If you are a Christian and your family all too often looks like this, maybe it is time for a change. You know the more we invoke the name of Jesus the more He reveals His presence to us. This should not come as a surprise because God's word tells us to do so! Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
But for most of us we don't feel qualified or comfortable in doing so. Satan has made great gains in our world by exploiting this weakness. God always finds away for His people to prevail. The more society becomes more isolated and cold-hearted the more unusually refreshing pure kindness from a stranger becomes! The recipients are shocked and overwhelmed at the same time! There is no deception in a deceptive world. All donations are refused. Your FREE act of kindness shown to the everyday people of your community creates a lasting impact not because of any fancy words you say, your actions were all that is needed to set the stage. Your small Connect Card goes with your every act of kindness. Maybe all you say is have a blessed day with a warm smile. You have sown the seeds of the Spirit through loving kindness because the Card declares this entire experience is coming from Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit! He is the stranger that just showed up at this very unusual time & place just for you! An expression of His love and a little taste of His grace in that neither can be earned nor bought at any price. He desires a closer walk with you. On the back of the Card is your church/school information and warm invite. Maybe a prayer for them to come to Jesus as their Lord & Savior at any place of worship for that is what Jesus desires and what we need to as well. Doing P.A.C.K. (Planned Acts of Christian Kindness) can never be done with the main purpose of filling your church pews. This comes as one of the many blessings when we unselfishly serve the Lord. When recipients of your kindness see your "family in Christ" gathered together having a great time showing love to others, all others, this becomes more attractive that the free gift or service they just received. This is severely lacking in our world today. They want what we have and that is Jesus. But just like our journey of faith it is just that, a journey over a lifetime. The more P.A.C.K. you do the more opportunities you are giving the Spirit to work on the people around you. Things change where a person is not open to the Spirit one day, but may be at a point in the future. God reveals this to us in His time, some may be immediate, some days to years later, and I am sure some will not be revealed until we stand face to face with Jesus. Doing hour-long P.A.C.K. events provides the opportunity to watch others within your group that have different skill-sets. You learn a little more each time you do P.A.C.K. The Holy Spirit is definitely present and is revealed through least expected recipients, precision timing and powerful testimonies reminding us all that God leaves nothing to chance and His timing is always perfect! This all happens just because you took a little time to go out and have fun doing or giving free stuff to the people of your community! The P.A.C.K. Program download is totally FREE with NO donations accepted for it at www.acts18.org. Join the thousands who are already using P.A.C.K. in 116 Countries around the world. Thank you and God bless!
