October HeartBeat

By STEVE Brackeen

Galatians 6: 9( NIV), the

Bible says,“ Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

This verse makes it very clear that if we keep on keeping on, the harvest will come. We will resist the world when they tell us that we are wasting our time serving Jesus and telling people about Him. We must be more vigilant than ever because Jesus is going to return, and we will be with Him forever. The Father is looking down on us and cheering us on, and we will be found faithful, carrying out the Great Commission. It is an honor serving in this ministry with such servants as yourselves.

When people ask us why we do the things that we do in Jesus’

name, we reply,“ That is who we are, and this is what we do.” We don’ t help other people because of our own nature; we help other people because Jesus lives in us, so now we have His nature. I know that Christians are not supposed to act like everyone else when things are not going well, but I know the Bible says that God will never leave us nor forsake us. I know that God is there to catch us when we fall or stumble. We don’ t understand why we have the same problems as everyone else. The answer is in the Bible: Jesus said the world hated Him, and it would hate us too. The great news is God fights our battles for us. We are never alone, and the Creator of the universe is always with us, so never give up! Another reason

we should never give up is that without us going out to tell a lost and dying world about Jesus, a multitude of bikers and others would die and spend eternity in hell. So, for the sake of the lost, NEVER GIVE UP! CMA
