Revival in Mexico

Hello again from Mexico. Well, another week is gone and we are still keeping up the pace. Tonight we had another teaching session in our house and then we are having revival services at the church. We have a special guest speaker here from the states. It is weird hearing services in English. We really enjoyed his service tonight on healing and deliverance. It got me thinking about how life goes and how Satan really has us convinced that there is no hope of deliverance. This is something that has been laying heavily on my heart lately. God is here with us and in His words we are supposed to do greater things than Him. So my question is, what happens when we don't? Are we truly following God if we don't do what He says? There was a speaker here the other day that said, " that we always get puffed up thinking that we somehow chose God but what we have to remember is that God chose us". We have to have a humble spirit!! I feel like we have somehow turned this walk with God into something for us and not for Him. In the words of Paris Reidhead "We have to live this life for Him, not because of what we get out of it but because He is worthy. If at the end of our lives we die and go to hell it will still be fair because we deserve that. It is only His grace and the price that He paid that will constitute anything else." This has been something that I have been thinking about lately. As I walk the streets of Mexico City and think that God loves each and every one of these people. It just seems so unfair that they have never even heard what this Jesus did. There are so many different religions here. This country is covered with religion but few people know the true gospel!! I praise God though when Sunday morning rolls around and I can see 5,000 people on there face worshiping God. I know then that there is hope for this city. We are so excited to see God's face here in Mexico City, to see the signs and wonders that are taking place here and to see the people that are coming to Christ. I was amazed this evening, there was a special service at 8pm when Mandy and I showed up and they asked for new people to stand up. There had to be around 40. On a Friday night we had somewhere around 600 - 800 people show up. The thing that is more amazing than that is that every time we have a service here people get saved. I used to be into eschatology (study of the end times) but my perspective has really changed. I weep for the people that do not know yet. There is so much work to be done but so few people want to go!! I long for the day that I can stand before my savior but there is never enough hours in the day to reach the people that need to be reached!! I am finally understanding what Jesus meant when He said, "He is not slow in coming but He is waiting so that the lost have a chance". We have found that the easiest commandment is also the hardest but most effective. The first commandment is "love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind and the second is like it," love your neighbor as yourself!!!" It is easy to love those around you but it is terribly hard to actually like them. I have found that now as I walk down the street I am praying for these people. Especially the people we see everyday. Please keep them in your prayers as well. The only way to reach them is with the true love that only comes from heaven. I have to be done writing now or there may be no end. Thank you all again for all your prayer and support of my family and I down here in Mexico City. Peace Out! Ross
