Lost

By Kyle Blackwell

Have you reached the end of the rope, feeling as though you’re about to fall off this cliff? My Jesus can help with that!

Do you have no hope for the future, just wandering helplessly wherever the wind blows? My Jesus can help with that!

Do you feel like the walls of life are caving in and everything in life is about to collapse on you? My Jesus can help with that!

Do you feel frightened for the future, as if you do not even know how you will get through this hour? My Jesus can help with that!

Do you feel like a lost soul with nothing to cling to for help? My Jesus can help with that!

Do you feel empty and broken-hearted, wondering if there really is more to this life? My Jesus can help with that!

Have you been searching for rest, but in all the wrong places? My Jesus can help with that!

September 18, 2019 was the day I had reached all the places above. I was hopeless. I was lost and empty inside.

I asked my ex wife of 5 years to go on a date because we had not been on one in a couple months. Her response was that she wanted a divorce.

I was broken to the point where I had to jump up to touch rock bottom. I was empty and did not know what to do.

September 19, 2019 was the best day of my life. It was the day Jesus sought me out in an empty room, just me and Him. That was the day I stopped living for myself and surrendered all to Him.

That day is the reason for this website. It is the reason I feel compelled to share Jesus with whomever I meet. If you catch me in the streets, chances are you will hear me proclaiming the name of Jesus.

I’m not talking about a feeling in your heart at one point in your life. This is a total surrender I experienced and it is an everlasting change.

The Jesus being discussed here is the one who saves. This Jesus feels hearts. This Jesus comforts.

I cannot describe the misery I was in prior to Jesus changing me. My life was full of sin and wickedness. I lived my life for myself.

Jesus gave me a purpose (Jeremiah 29:11). He gave me a peace that transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Jesus Christ made me into a new creation for good works (Ephesians 2:10).

You need hope? This is what it looks like:

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). However, God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life (John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬). Jesus canceled the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities (satan and his demonic forces) and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in Him. ‭‭(Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬-‭15‬). All who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13). If we have died with Him, we will also live with Him (2 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬). And you are justified by His grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭24‬).

What a freedom I have in Jesus. He took out my heart of stone and replaced it with a heart of flesh. When you surrender your life to Jesus, He removes the wickedness and replaces it with righteousness and His Spirit. Some people say the Christian life is not fun, but I can promise that I have a joy that is unmatched, and this is because of the wonder working power Jesus placed in me. Yes, I no longer live the way I used to live, but God has made me a new creation. I no longer want to do the sinful things I once desired. I actually hate the things of my past life, and have a strong disgust and disdain for them. This is the freedom I’m talking about.

And here I am, presenting the Gospel with you. Jesus is calling. How will you respond? You could die today. You are not promised tomorrow, just as you are not promised the next hour, or minute, or even second.

Feel free to go to the Prayer Requests page and contact us. We would love to talk with you more about Jesus.
