In my blog on Sunday, I wrote about the times God has protected my physical life. Today I want to share with you the infectious nature of eternal spiritual life. Since the time Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s instruction in the Garden of Eden, every man and woman has been afflicted by a deadly genetic disease called sinful nature. For a while, it was treated with animal sacrifices and obedience to God’s Laws, but it was obvious that since a man brought that deadly virus into the world, it would take the sacrifice of a man to provide a cure. Not just any man of course, but the Son of God in human form.
Why am I writing about this now? Sinful nature is still all around us and the cure God provided is needed more than ever. The good news is that the blood Jesus shed on the cross is just as powerful and infectious as it was two thousand years ago, and it is being spread across our country and across the world once again.
Sean Feucht is just one of the modern-day carriers of God’s life-giving cure for sinful nature. He has been organizing huge prayer services in some of the most unlikely places. He filled the stadium in LA, where the Super Bowl was held and after three hours no one wanted to leave. He has had large turnouts in Boulder Colorado, Washington D.C., New York City, Orlando Florida and Charlotte North Carolina to name only a few. In every meeting, there has been a hunger and thirst for the eternal life cure for sinful nature. It reminds me of the 1950s, when the Billy Graham crusade meetings were infecting countless folks with eternal life. It isn’t just the response to evangelists that is encouraging. Local churches where the Gospel of Jesus Christ is preached are experiencing a movement of the Holy Spirit that is amazing. Every Sunday there are people giving their hearts to Christ; people being water baptized; and people giving testimonies of what God is doing in their life. Churches the pandemic had all but shut down, are now thriving again.
As carriers of God’s life-giving cure for sinful nature, let us do our part to infect everyone around us with life.
