God's Treasure

God’s Treasure

The Lord would give me this revelation while praying for a girl at International House of Pancakes. She was a waitress and started telling us all her hardships in life. In prayer, the Lord would have me tell her that she was God’s beautiful jewel and I started telling her the parable Jesus gave us about the man and a field. Here is the scripture context. Matthew 13:44-“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field”. With the compassion of the Lord in my heart and tears flowing from my eyes, the Lord would start giving me words to say to her from this scripture. I told her that she was the treasure in the field, God’s jewel. The Lord would have me say that she is precious and beautiful to him and that the Lord had sold everything he had to buy her back. God used HIs best by sending His own son to die for her. He died in her place; to pay for our sin. He bought the precious treasure that was in the field, which was her. The girl was so overwhelmed that she ran off in tears of conviction, but I knew the Lord had started healing her broken heart. I was honored to be there at the right time for this precious girl. The things she told us what she was going through was heart gripping and I could feel the weight of it. She was weighed down by the cares of this life. The Lord would send me at the right time to encourage her through this hard time. The Lord is good! I only use this when the Holy Spirit leads me to do share it, but its powerful when He does. We are His treasure. The Lord paid the price; the ultimate price to buy us back. Praise the Lord that He did.

Go and Declare Newsletter February 2021

 

Go and Declare, Inc. Newsletter

The month of January has been an interesting month. I am more of a goer, but the Lord wanted me to stay back, pray and write. The Lord has been giving me so many things to write. Right after I am done with the newsletter I will going right back into the writing. I really feel compelled of the Lord to finish this book and then have someone look at it to edit it. Thank You for your prayers! I was able to go to the Fire 21 Conference in Orlando at the end of the month. Here are some testimonies from the trip.

Orlando, Florida Testimony

The conference started out rough for me. I initially signed up to serve the event but when I arrived, I started having cold symptoms. I was honest about my symptoms and I was told I could not come back to the conference without a negative Covid Test. I thought bummer most of those tests you get it usually takes 2 to 3 days to get the results. I googled rapid test and Disney World popped up. I drove over there, and the Army was there giving tests with results within 20 minutes. After taking the test, I started driving back to my hotel and I got a text that my results were in. I pulled over into a parking lot to pull up my email and a gentleman knocked on my window asking me for a jump for my car. After looking up the results of my test which was negative, I drove over to give this precious couple a jump. I knew immediately this was a divine appointment, so I had a chance to pray for them, share the gospel and leave them with my testimony tract. The precious lady was reading my testimony as I was driving off. 

Fire 21 Conference

Praise the Lord. I was able to get into the conference with a negative Covid test, but I was still battling cold symptoms for the first couple days. I remember going in on Saturday with a splitting headache. Ben Fitzgerald was preaching, and he said this. You have no problem praying for others to be healed, but its hard for you to receive healing for yourself. I thought wow that is me. He had people in the Congregation pray for people sick. I raised my hand and a brother in front of me prayed for me twice. My headache instantly vanished praise God. I was able to finally enjoy the last segment of the conference and it was fire.  The presence of God was there for sure. We came out of that evening service full of God to hit the streets for Jesus to reach the lost.

Street Preaching in Downtown Orlando with the Cross

This was so amazing! This outreach was probably the best outreach I have ever been part of in the US.
Bro. Denis and several evangelists have been street preaching in downtown Orlando every Friday night for years. The team met up on this corner to preach and hold the cross up. Many people came weeping to hear the gospel and gave their lives to Jesus. In the picture to the right gives us a glimpse of what was happening. The Lord was pulling His children from the darkness to the light. The gentleman in the picture at the cross giving his life to the Lord was a drug dealer. The Lord was gripping him about his salvation and the way he was living. He went to his car under conviction and decided to come back and ask about his salvation. Praise God he surrendered everything to him! God is good!

Monterrey, Mexico

Guys this is amazing. I am continuing to receive pictures from our 1000 toys for 1000 souls’ outreach for Laredo, Texas, and Mexico. This is a picture that I received a couple of weeks ago from Pastor Ray of an outreach in Monterrey, Mexico. I am crying right now because the toys from the lady that donated the 400 toys has reached the children in Monterrey. You guys were a huge part of this. Thank You so much for your prayers and donations to help send me to drop off these toys, so they could impact Mexico. You are amazing!

Miracle

Guys I had a huge miracle. I shared last month of my heart to buy a PA System to use for worship and street preaching has come to pass. Praise God. I just put in the first order for a Bose System and a rechargeable generator. Praise God Street Preaching is being revived in the US!

Thank You

I want to Thank You guys again for your prayers and financial support. We love you very much! One of our biggest needs we have right now is monthly financial partners. We are asking everyone we know to pray for the Lord to put it on folks’ hearts to become partners to help us reach the lost even its only $10.00 dollars a month. The Lord is faithful! Praise God!

The Next Generation

 

The Next Generation

Every time I drive by this bridge, the Lord grips my heart to pray for the generations. My generation and the generations that come after me. The Lord led me one day to come, pray, and take pictures of this amazing bridge in Pensacola, FL. The bridge is called Graffiti Bridge and young people come from all over to paint on this bridge. Some of the things painted on the bridge are very nasty, and others are not, but what caught my attention was the gifting these young people had. They were using their God-given giftings and creativity. These young people were happy to pose for a picture because they loved that someone was paying attention to them. I remember getting burdened to pray for them and praying for the next generation. I was gripped with intercession for the next generation, and the Lord showed me that He would use these kids powerfully for the next move of His Spirit. Even as I write this now, I’m praying for each kid to be marked by the Lord and to be used powerfully! Touch them, Lord, and may they fulfill their purpose on this earth.

I was born in 1967 and it breaks my heart that since Roe vs. Wade was passed in 1973, over 50 million babies have been aborted. All those giftings and callings were thwarted; that is just what the enemy wants. He wants to kill, steal and destroy because the devil wants to stop the Kingdom of Heaven from advancing. That’s why I believe the cemetery is the richest place in every city. City cemeteries are filled with stolen giftings, callings, and dreams.

Your Evangelist to the lost, the least, and the last! 

Try Tears

This is my favorite, so I will start here. I have never forgotten this quote by Charles Spurgeon “Winners for souls must first be a weepers for souls”. You see the more time we spend with the Lord the more we get his heart and that is for the lost. Jesus’s heart is that no one should perish and their are souls every minute going to eternity. I have learned this thru trial and error. A lot of us want to just pray a couple minutes and then hit the streets to share the gospel. That is like going out to chop down a tree with a dull axe. The tree would get chopped down, but it would take a lot longer. The work would go much quicker with a sharp axe. I love this story that I heard from back in the early days of the Salvation Army. Some of William Booth’s leaders wrote him a letter. They were distraught because they were not seeing a whole lot of fruit happening in the ministry. General Booth would write back to them to “Try Tears”. These leaders took his advice and they saw the Lord move powerfully. I will never forget the times I saw Evangelist Steve Hill preach at the Brownsville Revival. You could tell he spent time with the Lord weeping for the lost. When he would come out to preach, you could see the tears running down his face. Steve would preach an extraordinarily strong message against sin and declare that folks come repent at the altars if they had sin in their lives. No matter how hard the message was, we knew that Steve had been with the Lord and cared about us because of the compassion he had for the lives of the people. He got it from spending time with the Lord. The anointing was strong and people would run to the altar by the thousands. That is what we need in the US again. Believers that would go into the secret place and weep again for the state of our country and lost souls. When we go, we go out with the compassion the Lord has for the lost. Here is the method I learned. When we go out to pray for someone, we look them in the eyes with tears and tell them not to lie to us. We ask them if they know Jesus, not if they know about him. As Steve would say “religion is hanging around the cross, but Christianity is getting on the cross”. There is a lot of people especially in the US that just want a get out of hell free card and want to live for themselves. We need full surrender to Jesus. That is what the Lord wants! Getting on the cross, dying to self and then having the Lord raise us up! Praise God that is the answer!

The Day that Changed My Life Forever

 March 9th, 2014

The Day Rudy Waters died to Himself

 

This was an incredibly special day! I believe the Lord had knew that he had burned all the desire for ministry and the pulpit out of me. I was content with serving my wife and the precious 3-5-year-old children that we had served all these years. I had no desire for pulpit ministry. He had burned it all out of me. I believe He knew now I was ready to not take any glory for myself. He was about to change my life forever. That evening one of mentors a man we looked up to had gone to be with the Lord. I had heard him preach probably hundreds of times. He was now in the arms of Jesus! I was in my son’s room praying and news came in that Steve Hill the evangelist of the Brownsville Revival had died. Suddenly it struck my heart, that I was not doing what the Lord had called me to do. I was finishing up with my last semester of college pursuing a business degree. I had no idea that ministers from all over the world were doing the same thing. Ministers were being gripped with repentance. I got on my face and cried out in repentance. Screaming I am sorry Lord for being so distracted there are souls out to there to be reached. I will never forget His still small voice speaking to me, asking me this question. Would you be satisfied with my presence and go to the streets to reach the lost? I said I would and have not looked back. I got on the cross that day, died to myself and the Lord resurrected me with newness of life! The Holy Spirit has been with me every step of the way. Praise the Lord for Him giving me another chance! He is the God of many chances! I thank the Lord for His mercy!
