Left Overs are Still Good !! |
At our house, we often have
left over food from dinner and store it away in the refrigerator for another
day. Left overs are good and not to be
wasted.
May I suggest if you find
something really good for you spiritually, that you share it with someone even
if you might consider it to be “Left Over.”
Many years ago, I heard
Kenneth Copeland say when he was a new preacher without a sermon, that he would
listen to tapes by Dr. Kenneth E. Hagin, and memorize them word for word. That is how he got his start until he could
begin to glean from the scriptures and come up with something on his own.
(practically on his own.)
I said all that to say this -
- -.
I heard a really good sermon
on Sunday and posted it to my blog. See
it here - I named it - LIVE LIKE JESUS DIED.
Next I saved it to a word
document and printed at least two copies cause I knew that God was showing me
what to do with them.
My 19 year old Grandson is a
member of the LDS (Mormon) church, and is on a mission in Texas .
Prior to this he was headed in a wrong direction, and the leaders called
him aside and gave him a talking to. He
drastically changed and became a different person.
Each time I talk to my Grandson, I tell him to always
put Jesus first. Anyway, each week I
send him a letter (cause he loves to get mail.)
The letter I just mailed includes Sundays sermon and usually one of my
stories and some words from “grandma.” (me)
I was on a mission today one
of my own. I have a black friend who I
have picked up and taken her to church for several years. When I left the formal church I was
attending, I told her why, but she was not happy. She called my husband and told him she wanted
me to take her to the “old church.” He
told her that she and I would need to work that out, as it was between us and
not him.
So today I visited her with a
copy of Sundays sermon, and when she came out of her cottage, I gave her the paper copy of the sermon, and
ran over all the high points. What a
blessed time I had preaching “Left Overs.”
Oh Yes, I told her, "I will take you to
the old church, and leave you, and one of the nice ladies can take you
home. OR you can go with me - - to Open
Door."
I told her to call me on
Saturday and let me know what SHE decides to do.
Then I called my daughter in
the afternoon and let her know some things going on with us, and told her about this
sermon. I gave her some “Left Overs” and
they were still tasty.
So what is the bottom line
here?
Yes, go ahead and copy and
print that
sermon “Live Like Jesus Died,” cause it is actually FRESH - - and share it with someone.
Go ahead and preach it my friend.
Then put it into practice for
yourself.

When you first mentioned pastors Copeland and Hagin, it grabbed me. I saw both of them. Here in Omaha and down in Oklahoma. Never for forgot them. Thanks for sharing.
