A Meeting - Advice On Salvation

Last night I met with a few others to discuss the very basics of Evangelism. We then passed out 200 tracts and I spoke with 10 people using the Law to bring the knowledge of sin and then told them the gospel of Jesus Christ and told them what they must do to be saved. When I got home, I read "Why stand afar off, O LORD? Why hide yourself in times of trouble?" and the LORD knows this is the cry of my heart. For Him to come in His majesty again. For Him to come in His glory once again.

This morning in private prayer, the presence of God was very dim to me and isn't as illuminated to my soul as times past. Oh! How I long for Him to shed abroad His love in my heart once again! How I long for Him to shine His countenance upon me again.

Allow me to share something with you about salvation. Its found in Psalm 10:14:

"...The helpless commits himself to You."

Become helpless, loose everything that you can lean upon, your health, your confidence in long life, your sanity, your happiness, your family, your education, your job, your comforts, loose even your own life and be poor in spirit and you will be helpless. You will have nothing to help you and as a result you cry out to God to save you and to give you life and He comes in majesty and glory and grants you the new birth. What are the results of this supernatural birth? As a flower blossoms naturally, you effortlessly commit yourself to Him entirely. You stay helpless always and you cannot ever help yourself. Apart from Him, now that you've been born again, you know you can do nothing and you rely upon Him to breathe! Become utterly helpless and find eternal life!

A servant of the most high God,
A son by Jesus Christ,
