The inclement weather and sickness may hinder our Lord’s servants, but they can never ever hinder and stop Him in His great plan for world redemption! Jesus states: “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18). Praise His Holy Name!
On Sunday morning, Feb. 2, I was honored to share the glorious gospel at Beulah Baptist Church in Mohawk, TN. Message Title: Are You Ready To See The Face Of The Lord Jesus? Text: Matt. 24:14. As the public invitation began, hands went up all over the place, but only one man came forward! He was under such strong conviction that he was crying and shaking! He literally hit the altar as he was calling on his Lord for forgiveness! A lady came running down the aisle as she said in passionate tears: “This is my son!” She knelt beside him as she put her loving arms around him. He said to me: “I have been living in a backslidden state for a long time!” He was baptized the very next Sunday!
A dear man who was gloriously saved at the Jefferson County Jail last fall is now singing in the choir at Beulah Baptist Church! He called the music director and told her that he felt led by his Lord to put a group of men together to sing. They sang before I proclaimed the gospel, and it was excellent! Oh, how our great God honors the faithfulness of His servants (Rev. 2:10c)!
On Wednesday morning, Feb.5, I was so very honored to share the gospel with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Chapter at Lincoln Heights Middle School in Morristown! Dr. Amie Rumph is the faculty sponsor, and she truly loves the Lord Jesus! I could feel the power of the Holy Spirit moving upon me as I prepared to leave my home! Dr. Amie and her fellow teachers were praying! Thirty-six young people from grades 6-8 hung on my every word from the Word! I gave each one of them a marked copy New Testament, meaning that it has the plan of salvation right where they can see and understand it! I had the students participate with me as I went through the Biblical plan of salvation. I wish that you could have seen and heard them speaking out loud on how to be Born Again! You could truly feel the power of the Holy Spirit sweeping through the room! I had them to pray the sinner’s prayer out loud with me as they asked the Lord Jesus to be their Savior and Lord! Ten young people gave their heart to the Lord Jesus! As they were leaving, two young men came to me with a big, beautiful smile on their face! I asked them: “Men, did you pray for Jesus to come into your heart?” They said: “YES!”
Mrs. Shea Long had me scheduled to share the gospel with the First Priority of McDonald School in Mohawk, TN in western Greene County, but the snow came, and she had to cancel. The great news is that Shea has rescheduled me for Wednesday March 12. Please pray for many students to give their heart to the Lord Jesus!
Last Sunday, Feb. 23, my Lord gave me an opportunity of a lifetime to share the glorious gospel message with Shady Grove Church in Dandridge, TN where Jason McIntosh is the pastor. This church left their denomination due to liberalism, and their Lord has, and He continues to bless them greatly for standing on the Truth of His Holy Word! Pastor Jason dearly loves his Lord and so do the people that he shepherds! You can feel the awesome power of the Holy Spirit literally sweeping through the facility as the praise and worship team leads the people in singing praises to their Lord! For the past thirty-three years, I have always told the pastor who hosts me that I will follow his text in the Word of God if he feels led by his Lord! Pastor Jason is the first pastor to honor my request! He has been preaching a series of messages titled: “Changed Lives” How should we live our lives now that we have given our hearts to Christ? Message Title: “Bewitched.” Text: Gal. 3:1-5. As soon as the public invitation began, an 18-year-old college student came down the aisle with her friend who had brought her to church! She was weeping from the strong conviction of the Holy Spirit moving upon her young heart! Pastor Jason and his leadership team counseled with her, and she gave her heart to the Lord Jesus! He allowed Kim and me to do the follow-up with her after the service and she was still crying! We gave her the New Believer’s New Testament to assist her in getting started in her new walk with her Lord. Several key leaders from Shady Grove Church told us that they saw people step out to come forward during the public invitation, but then they stopped! The youth pastor saw two young ladies step forward and their mother stopped them! Late on Sunday night, Pastor Jason messaged me that a grandfather had contacted him to tell him that his 6-year-old grandson had prayed to be saved! Another lady told Pastor Jason that her son-in-law had made a decision! The Word of God never stops working (Hebrews 4:12)!
As we arrived at a local restaurant for lunch, the family who brought the college student to church were there with her and still rejoicing! A man who was at the Jefferson County Jail came to me to tell me that he has been clean and sober for over eleven months and that he is attending church and is about to be married! Another man came to me to tell me that he watches the television broadcast! This is the “overflow of the Holy Spirit” from a deep and mighty move of Almighty God! I felt like shouting praises to my Lord in that eating establishment (Acts 2)!
Thank you, with all that is within me, for praying as you do for this passionate soul winner! I can truly feel your powerful prayers as I see the mighty hand of the living God at work as He sends me out into the harvest fields in these very evil Last Days! I will never be satisfied in my heart until I have personally led untold billions to faith in the Lord Jesus! I love you!
For Souls Forever In Heaven,
Jeffrey L. Harvel
Matthew 18:14
P.S. - I am still waiting to hear from the leadership of the Jefferson County Jail as to whether they will get me back in that place! The devil does not want this passionate soul winner there, for sure (1 Peter 5:8-9)!
