Thank q for your comment...
Anyone is much more receptive to ministry of any kind when you minister from a standpoint of 'I am no better than you are. God can save, heal, deliver, etc. Your issue/sin is not too hard for God to handle. My issue isn't too hard for God to handle....'
What is eluding many in the ministry is that we must become all things to all so some can be saved. No, all won't be. But that doesn't mean we stop fishing just because the river is dirty.
When handling fish out of the MS, your hands will get dirty. When you take the fish off the hook, you will get a little soiled. It is not the most comfortable experience, that fishing.
I went one time with my grandma. There were mosquitoes everywhere! And they tore my hide up, ya heard?
She told me that sometimes snakes come out. And especially in the Deep South sometimes you'll see alligators!
But yet and all, despite the risk of the environment, many still partake of this leisurely activity. When they can just as easily go to a fish store and buy the fish, caught AND cleaned, packaged real nice ready to put in the pan and fry down with some cornbread.
But I know a few folk who won't buy seafood from the store. They actually PREFER to go out and risk the elements to catch fresh fish out the water, pack them on ice, have the truck or car stank as all get out, THEN go home and clean the fish up, which is just plain N.A.S.T.Y.!!!!!
Yet us fishers of men...well, we don't want to get our hands dirty. We don't want to risk the elements in FEAR that they will overtake us.
Here we got all power and authority, have the Word of God AND the Holy Ghost at our possession, and afraid or unable to use it.
We too scurred (scared) to go out and fish for souls in the lake of Sodom and Gomorrah. We too scurred that a demon may jump on us and we may actually get a buzz from all the perversion swarming all around us....for shame...
And that's cool if that's where we are at.
But if God leads someone else (CeCe) to get out of their comfort zone and go to the river instead of waiting for the fish to jump out of the water and VOILA! all of a sudden the fish (harvest) just jumped up in my net!!!!!
Let her alone. She is being led of God. And I admire the fact that she is getting out of her comfort zone and gone fishin!
We still in da boat!
Well, go ahead and wait for the fish to jump in your net. You know we got one (a net) on every corner. Maybe that poor fish would survive outta water longer than we think....
