On Monday, January 25^th, we held our evangelism meeting at Abundant Life Church.  The meeting as usual opened with a few evangelist songs about God’s love.  Then one of our American missionary who serves at the church gave his testimony.  He shared how he was raised in a Christian home and went to a Christian school, but how he struggled with condemnation and guilt.  He always saw the heavenly Father in Heaven ready to punish him whenever he would make a mistake.  He then shared how God delivered him from this bondage by embracing him in his teens with unconditional love. 

This testimony was then followed by a song of God’s amazing love.  The Work of the Spirit was definitely moving as I opened the message with Matthew 11:28 “Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.”  I then spoke on bringing our burdens to the Lord so we can have rest in our souls.

 First, I encouraged the attendants to bring the burden of loneliness to Jesus.  He would be the only one to satisfy their longing for friendship.  Even if you are surrounded by many people the spirit of loneliness can burden you.  Second, I spoke on bringing your burden of fear to the Lord.  This burden robs so many people from having peace in their lives.

 Lastly, I spoke on bringing the burden of condemnation and guilt to the Lord just like the missionary who gave his testimony at the beginning of the meeting.  I felt the love of God so strong for these people and I just ministered How Jesus loved us so much He went to the Cross so we could live in freedom from these many burdens.  I then asked all those who needed freedom in these areas to stand and half of the attendants responded to that call.  You could feel the love of God so strong in that room healing the hearts of His people.  So I leave you with this call as well if you are burdened with any of these spirits, “Come all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28). 

May God’s love bless you and fill all of your hearts in Jesus name.
