We are living in one of the greatest nations on earth.  The freedom that God has given us through our government to spread the Gospel, and the finances that He supplies for us to do so, make this nation unique.  This is a direct result of the efforts of our founding fathers that traveled to this new world and established our constitution on the principles of the Old and New Testament.  

I understand that eighty percent of every dollar used to spread the Gospel comes from the United States.  However, in recent years we have seen some changes due to the recent economic struggles.  
Because of this some churches are struggling.  

We look for a great revival to take place in our beloved country, and I believe it will.  I realize that certain things have taken place in the U.S. that would have been an awful thing to let happen thirty or forty years ago.  America, its government and its people have shifted away from what the early fathers designed this nation to be.  The natural disasters that take place are a sign of those times.  They are a warning from God for the people of America to return to the Biblical principles that this country was founded on.  

I believe that it will take a great sifting in the church before world wide revival happens.  God will separate the wheat from the shaft and a great persecution will come on the wheat.  Then He will pour out his Spirit on the wheat and a great miracle will take place in the name of Jesus.  This will bring a great revival and many will come to the Lord.  The Gospel will spread quickly throughout the rest of the world before His coming.  We know He is coming soon.  This means that revival is very near!  Come Lord Jesus!

“Come after me and I will make you to become fishers of men.” - Mark 1:17

To satisfy the desires of our hearts and for the sake of those around us, we need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.  What joy we receive when we are prosperous fishers of men for Him!

 Sadly, we often try methods and ways that are not His ways.  Will we submit to the ideas of the enemy?  If we do, we may throw our nets here and there and stir up the waves, but it will be for nothing and we will never catch fish.  We must follow Jesus if we want to be successful fishermen!

It is not the polished speeches, or the social activities that brings men to Jesus.  Jesus did not use any of these to gather the crowds around Him.  We need to preach as our Lord did.  If we do, souls will be saved as we preach the full gospel message with the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit. 

We should declare the grace of God, His unconditional love and forgiveness of sins and the sinner’s acceptance of this gift by faith for the forgiveness of his sins. This will be the net with which we catch and gather souls! 

We must work under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, depend on Him, do not go ahead of Him or walk next to him, but follow in his footsteps as He commanded.  It is then that we will fulfill His promise to be fishers of men!
