Conviction

25:

Chapter 25:

"I'm nervous." Dean states when we get out of the car and I look up at him. "Am I suppose to be nervous?"

"What are you thinking about?" I ask curiously taking his hands.

He entwines our fingers and grips it shakily. It's sweaty and I smile knowing that God is touching him already and we're only in the parking lot. "How you said this Woman is powerful."

Nodding I say "She is the most powerful I have seen." The woman touches you and her hands feel like fire burning up with the spirit of God. She can blow all the way across the room at you and you'll be down the second her breath hits you. I don't tell him that though because he may chicken out.

"That makes me nervous." he states and I open the door to the church so we can go in.

"You'll be fine just ask God to calm you and let him have his way tonight." I state and he smiles down at me planting a kiss on my forehead. Dean and I slide into the pew beside momma and everyone else. We're in the third pew usually we sit further back but the place is packed with people and we can't go anywhere.

Evangelist Gaines gets up to the mic and gives us all big smiles. "Thank you all for coming. And thank God for us all getting here safely. Can we stand and give God a large handclap for blessing us for protecting us and most importantly for loving us so we are able to love him back." Everyone stands and claps loudly.

She lets us all sit and looks out into the crowd seriously "I'm going to say a little word and then we're going to have prayer. Many of you need prayer tonight and I don't want to neglect that but I also don't want to neglect learning about our amazing father."

She opens up her bible and say "Matthew 4:19 says "and he said to them come with me and I will make you fishers of me." She looks up at us and walks away form her post walking around the alter.

"Two disciples were fishing casting nets and all that. The thing is they hadn't caught anything all day. Jesus cam and told them to follow him so they left their nets immediately and followed him. Do we know what being fishers of men means?" she asks and we're all silent.

"Being fishers of men means?" again silence. "To be a fisherman you have to have all of the right equipment. You have to know what kind of bait what kind of hook where to throw in at how to hook them. If you don't know this then how are you going to catch anything? God asks that we be disciples to all nations so we're reeling people in making us fishers of me. To be the fishers we have to understand what God wants and asks us to do."

"To succeed in being fishers of men we have to armor up and be in Gods army we have to be strong and have the word or spirit his precious holy ghost and faith. Without faith we have nothing we cant be walking around like brother I love God but have no faith. How do you believe in God with no faith. How does anything good happen to you when you have no faith. Nothing good happens because you cant love God and have no faith its just not possible."

She takes a drink of water and says "So to be a fisher of men we have to armor up and believe. We must pray to seek out who God wants us to reel in. We cant be out there trying to reel in demons and people that don't want to be saved. God know his people he knows his children so seek him and he'll lead you and tell you what needs to be done. When we find the ones God has chosen we must preach the Gospel. The word of God is a mighty thing and was given to ius for a reason. If you don't know the word how are you going to reel in someone else. How are you going to be a fisher of men?"

"You can't be." she shouts. "Without the Gospel and God's guidance your a lost puppy making your catch a new born fresh out of the womb he cant walk crawl talk or open his eyes. All he is, is cute and some puppy's ain't even cute. So be a fisher of men do as God say do. Seek him in everything you do and you'll be victorious." She closes and everyone claps with a few Amen's and thank you Jesus's.
