GO, FOR YOUR FAITH HAS HEALED YOU
Miami is a city well known for it’s high temperatures. This Monday night was no exception to that well known fact. It was hot and it was humid. As the temperature rose, crowds of people began to form. Can you imagine the thirst and discomfort that the people of downtown have to endure, especially on nights like this? As we began to prepare for our service, it was obvious that there was another warm sensation arising. It was from the sweet presence of God. It was special and there was an anointing in the air that could be felt.
Word of God
Tonights word was centered on sight. That’s right, sight. One of the most important senses we have. We learned a story about a blind man called Bartimaeus. He was a beggar who needed Jesus to help him so he called out to Him and became blessed (Read Full chapter):
“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked. ‘My Rabbi,’ the blind man said,’I want to see!’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Go, for your faith has healed you.’ Instantly the man could see, and he followed Jesus down the road.” – Mark 10:51-52
In this story we see how the faith of a blind man led him to his healing. Many of us need this in our lives: to understand that God listens to us and cares for our well being. Jesus healed this man the same way that he can heal us today. And so our prayer is that the people of downtown will encounter Gods’ healing and have their sights on Him!
Our Prayer
This Monday was a night of joy! Many people accepted Jesus into their hearts!
Serving Food
After praying for the food, volunteers quickly assembled their work stations and began to serve. One of our most popular meals is the Chicken Alfredo Pasta. It’s a favorite to say the least! After grabbing a plate, people moved to the refreshments station. It was a hot night like previously mentioned, so most came back about 3 times for drinks.
Prayer requests:
Coming and serving here at downtown is just an ounce of the care that God has for his children there, we are so blessed and honored to have the capacity to come and be with them on such a hot night. We just see lives come together and be in the presence of God like he has intended for us.
We ask that you can join us to pray for our ministry and those who stay in the streets of downtown. That their hearts may be united with Gods, and that their lives can be transformed and cleansed. We rebuke all sickness and addiction in Jesus Name!
