Jesus
Christ Had me ( YOU) in Mind
Good
morning!!!!!
On February 29th 1988 on a Monday. I get to celebrate this birthday every 4 years. I was in Zweibrucken Germany. The Pastor of "Zweibrucken Baptist Missionary Church" was doing Church visitation and I just happened to be at a friend's house when he visited that house. The Lord lay on my heart that this was my appointed time to accept him as my LORD and Savior !!!He spoke to my heart and told me that I have been groping at the door of salvation, and now was my time to accept him while he was near (Isa 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near).To me at that time I was not concerned how other people was going to view me as a Christian, nor was I concerned if I was going to be able to live up to this perfect image (in my mind) of Christianity (was to be). I did not know where this decision to surrender myself to Christ was going to take me. I just knew that He would be in charge and I would not lean to my own understanding. I accepted Jesus Christ as my LORD and Savior in that House on that day at 7:30pm. Because some one was willing to be used of God, to be a vessel for the Lord (if just one soul gets saved in all of your efforts than GLORY TO GOD)--

Matt
10:6-7 But go rather to the lost sheep of the
house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Matt 18 :11-13 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
How
think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth
he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that
which is gone astray? And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he
rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not
astray.
Someone
was willing to leave his house to leave his country, to go to a far
off land and establish an American speaking Church amongst a people that did not
speak English as their 1st language. Yet he did not make
the greatest sacrifice -- he was just showing his love in
being obedient to another man.
The God
man, (Jesus Christ), Who came down in the form of man who sacrificed his Son for
people that did not know -- for people that will refuse and persecute Him,
yet he died for the Sins for everyone. He left His home and came
to earth to die for mankind, to die for Keith W Beauford. He had me in
mind when he died on that Cross, He had me in mind when that Church was
established in Zweibrucken Germany, He had me in mind when He saved that Pastor,
He had me in mind when my parents meet, He had me in mind when he shed His Blood
on Calvary. He had me in mind when I went to marble city Baptist Church and when
to Concorde Baptist church, He had me in mind when I meet YOU. He had me in
mind. Jesus Christ had you in mind...
YET.......
Hebrews 2:3
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began
to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
