He did nothing to deserve it but ..[He found you to be worth it]


As I am sitting in the prayer room its about 2:00am and as I began to read the Crucifixion of Jesus I just began to get overwhelmed in my heart because I began to get a deeper revelation of who Jesus is. His love and compassion began to overwhelm my heart. He did nothing to deserve that kind of death but he knew that it would be worth it. He knew that their would be a Crystal or a "you" that needed Him later down the road so he endured the pain and all the suffering and took on all our sins because he found us to be "worth it". It didn't just stop there.. he took me deeper. The very people who he made disciples out of were the very same ones that betrayed Him in the end Jesus knew that they would but yet he found them to be worth it. We are so not worthy of Jesus but yet he finds us to be worth it... Every bruise on His back was for you and I. So that we could have life and have it more abundantly. He could have easily killed everyone who tried to kill Him with one word but he didn't. He endured the pain and he had you in mind as he was being beat. I mean really I just want you to take the time and picture Jesus being beat and with every whip hes saying your name "Crystal your worth it all!" this hurts but "you are worth it all!" I'm not giving in "you are worth it all!!".Many of you reading this its been a long and a painful Journey in your life but I want you to know that there is a man who took on ever bit of that pain because he found you to be worth it. With every tear you cry your worth it! He knows your hearts and your pain and there is nothing that you can encounter in this life that Jesus didn't die for. He died for every addiction so let it be broken in Jesus name! nail it to the cross right now. If this is touching your heart I pray that God would allow these words to pierce your heart so that you too can receive revelation of the cross. It was all worth it ..you are so worth it

Edge of Hell Outreach

Hi everyone,

I am extremely excited about what God is doing in my life and what he is going to do. I had the previlage this week with three other girls from my track to go on the "edge of hell outreach" with the evangelism team from IHOP. All I can really say is wow. We stood outside in the downtown innercity of Kansas City while thousands of people stood in line for the two haunted houses that were down there. People were dressed up as zombies and they had people walking around to scare you before you went in the haunted houses. There was alot of demonic activity going on that night but we were there to shine the light on darkness. The funny thing about it was that they knew who the "jesus people were". One lady came up to me and my group and was like are yoou guys with the Jesus people and we started ministering to her. It was so good. The next day me and two other girls that I went with decided to stand under the brigde between the two haunted houses and the people who walked past us really fast were not the ones we were going to talk to but the ones who slowed down to talk to us were the ones. A young coouple walks towards us and we say "hey guys how was the haunted house?" and they stopped and started telling us all about it. Our next question to them was "is it anything like you think hell would be?" they said no hell probally would be much worse with flames and stuff. We asked did they know Jesus and they both said yes that they grew up in church but kind of fell away. We asked if we could pray for them and while we were praying for them I kept hearing injury and sports. I said okay God I am not asking them that and hes like obey me so I ask if anyone of them had been injured on their left leg and the guy said yes. I then asked if he played a sport and he was like yes I played soccer how did you know? I told him well Jesus loves you so much that he showed me that about you and I told him "your heart is beating really fast right now because you are encountering Jesus and he said "yeah it is man this is creepy" His eyes started watering and he thanked us for coming to talk to them. I was so happy that I obeyed God and didn't go by my feeling of being wrong. After we finished the outreach for those two days we had a total of 60 people who gave their life to Christ. YAH JESUS!
