The Lost Souls!

The Lost Souls!

Introduction

While visiting COSCO one day last April 2025, I felt the Lord say to me, “I need you here to witness for me for I will bring many to you to share My Word and to be a witness of My Kingdom to those who do not know Me.  I will open the door for You just believe there are those I need you to talk to.”

     I realized there were part-time positions for food demonstrators after seeing a notice on a distributor's cart offering samples of food to hand out to shoppers. If you have been to a COSCO, you will see these stands with a red tray of 6-8 samples of food available to those walking by. 

     I applied for the position and was accepted.  During the first and second month I began to say to myself, “What in the world am I doing here! Did I miss the Lord in this?” I felt like quitting several times but kept remembering His Word to me….. 

 “I need you here to witness for me for I will bring many to you to share my Word and to be a witness of My Kingdom to those who do not know Me.  I will open the door for You just believe there are those I need you to talk to.”

     It is now the beginning of September 2025, and I can say that His Word was right on target. Over 2,000 people walk by my station each time I work (6-hour shifts 3-4 days a week).  Hundreds from all walks of life and nationalities stop to request a food sample I'm serving. 

     It is at this point that conversation about the product can often turn to life’s issues, spiritual things, heaven, world conditions, family, church, government, sickness, war, etc.

     The Lord leads, and I strive to reflect Christ’s Kingdom through the Fruit and Gifts of the Holy

Spirit.  

It is just amazing to feel the moving of the Holy Spirit in these many daily encounters with people from all walks of life and from other countries. 

     I've spoken to hundreds and hundreds just as He told me.   He brings them to me not only to get a food sample, but to share with them in what He wants me to say to them.  So simple buy yet so profound.  Unplanned and unrehearsed just waiting on the Holy Spirit to move. It is all spontaneous but with my expectation that the Holy Spirit will move.  I just need to walk in great faith in what He told me.

A Prophetic Word!

     Many years ago, the Lord shared a prophetic word with me which I wish to share with you which relates to the above. I entitled it -

“Send Me, O’ Lord!”

     This prophetic poem came during the time of intercession. I felt my spirit would pray within and the Lord seemed to answer at times throughout my recording of this word.

O’ Lord our God,

fill us with

Your love

and

Faith

 that we may enter

Your

 heavenly gate.

For Your call

is to come

and

 hear

 Christ’s words

so dear.

You say,

“Come

and

sit

 and

fellowship

with Me

on your

 bended knee.”

We bow before You,

ready to be filled

 with the gifts

and

graces

 that will bring

sunshine

 to our

faces.

Our mouths

are open

wide,

 to be filled

 with Your divine word

which will lead

and

guide.

We reach out and take

Your hand,

 to go

 and

witness to the

 lost man.

It is the lost

Your heart

 beats

the most,

and

 You send

 us to be

their host.

Let us not retreat

from Your

command to

“Go,”

for the church

you desire

to be a

 fire aglow.

Send me O’ Lord,

Send us O’ Lord,”

for

Your call to our

 ears is to

get

ready and “go.”

For You say,

“lost men and woman

sit and wait

 to hear

 My word

 they will take.”

Out of heaven

 You decree,

for the

“called ones”

 to go and

set the

 people free.

“Be filled

and

overflow with Me,

so that you

will hear

My call

and

Word

from your

 bended knee.”

Ears are ready

to hear salvation

 by grace,

their heart changed

by everlasting

faith.

Heaven’s doors

are

open wide,

the call is to go

 to the lost

and

invite them

 to come

 and

 abide.

The bridegroom

stands ready

to receive

all who plead,

“Lord Jesus,

come

and

save me.”

“Time grows short,

the Kingdom

is at hand,

take My message

throughout

the land.”

The King is coming,

the King will reign,

all nations

 will come

 and

bow,

and

to Him vow,

“to You

O’ Lord and Son,

we come.”

     I recorded this prophetic word to me and others a few years ago and how it is coming to pass in a massive way of His call to go to the masses and share the Kingdom of God for truly there is not much time left.

The Second Prophetic Word!

I want to highlight that on August 24th, 2025, while driving to church, I received another message from the Lord similar to one I heard years ago.

     The Lord spoke to me the first stanza of this prophetic poem.  When I got to church, I continued to write down the rest of His message to me and to the church.

Here is that Word which I have entitled -

“The Lost Souls”

A Shepherd Leads to Lost Souls!

O’ God, Mighty Lord,

send me into this

world bereft of thy Truth

and

who bear no

true spiritual fruit.

A world awash in iniquity

 and

 sin,

 on my knees to You

 I bend -

…..to seek Your heart

  to witness

and

testify

to a world

 so mystified -

…..to pray for lost souls

 who are sinking down

 and

need to be found.

O’ Christ

lead me to the

 path of the sinner

 so lost and forlorn

and

to hearts so far gone.

O’ Holy Spirit,

upon You I lean,

to direct

 and

 lead my heart

doth plead.

For the one so lost,

and

 hurting,

 to You my soul

 doth speak.

I weep,

 and

cry,

 for the harvest

 is most ripe.

The time is short,

for the sinner must hear

and

bend his ear,

 for Christ is soon

to appear.

Then the Lord injects:

It is to the remnant I call.

to go

and

speak to all.

Do not delay for with

utmost haste you

 have no

time to waste.

Speak boldly,

and

do not fear,

for when you go

 I am near.

I say,

stand tall,

speak Truth,

walk the

Path of Righteousness

and

you will see

souls coming to Me.

The flow ended here.

There you have it……my soul and spirit cry out at the beginning of this prophetic word and Jesus answers.

Lastly, allow me to say that Jesus said:

“Do not delay for with

utmost haste you

 have no

time to waste.”

I have said and continue to say that I believe we are in the last seconds of this age when the return of Christ is most imminent. He said three times in Revelation 22:7,12, 20

“And behold,

 I am coming quickly.

Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book.”

“Behold,

 I am coming quickly,

 and

My reward is with Me,

to render to every man

according to what he has done.

He who testifies to these things says,

“Yes,

I am coming quickly.”

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

Jesus says three times He is coming quickly meaning it could happen at any moment, suddenly, and/or without delay.  He says there is no time to waste and not delay for He reminds us to “go” (GO…D” (Mark 16) and speak boldly to the lost for…..

…….The harvest is plentiful,

 but the workers are few.

Therefore,

beseech the Lord of the harvest to

send out workers 

into His harvest.

Matthew 9:37-38

Lord Jesus, I beseech you to continue to send me to the harvest of lost souls speaking boldly to them of thy Kingdom and Your soon return.

Help me through the Fruit and Gifts of the Holy Spirit to present You which  will move the hearts of the lost to receive You as their Savior and Lord.

So be it, Lord Jesus!
