Just Keep on Fishing!

 

I remember when my dad and I would go fishing when I was a child. Sometimes the fish were not biting and after a while I would grow restless and want to leave. I can still see my dad's face as he would look at me and say with an expectant smile, "Son, just keep on fishing"!

 

The above two photos of me fishing was in Alaska a few years ago as we carried the cross. I'd fished all day with nothing. The boat captain said to all of us fishing that we would be stopping in five minutes. At the end of the day on the last letting down of the line I caught this monster Halibut.  

 

Jesus walking by the seaside saw some fishermen fishing and He called to them "Come after me and I will make you fishers of men." Simon Peter and others followed Him. Three years later Jesus had to call Peter and the others a second time after they had gone back to fishing in the sea. Saying it again "Follow Me." What Jesus was saying to Peter was, you started fishing for people and we spent three years of Me training you as ministers but then you got discouraged and even denied Me and went back to your old job. A second time I'm calling you 'Just Keep on Fishing' or 'Don't stop Fishing'!

 

Jesus is saying the same to many of you just now as you read this. Struggles, discouragement and fears have crept in and now Jesus is calling you a fresh...Just Keep on Fishing! Don't Stop!   

 

I can promise you Arthur Blessitt will never stop fishing for souls as long a I have breath and until my departure to heaven. I feel refreshed and better than I have in many years. We have been carrying the cross and also preaching in Europe for the past two months. Now we will still be carrying the cross but most of our time will be involved with TBN and hosting "Praise the Lord" watched by millions around the world. We are fishing the world over for people to be saved and follow Jesus.

 

Flash!!! As I was writing this Tuesday just hours after we had arrived back to our home in the Denver area I was in our basement office. "Arthur, I need you, come up" it was the voice of my wife Denise and her voice was not right. I rushed up. She had pain in her chest, difficult to get breath, aching in her legs and she was hot. I took her temperature and it was101 degrees. I prayed with her for Jesus' healing but as she grew worse I suggested she go to the urgent care to see a doctor. Denise agreed and that was not like her. She has been in 294 nations and island groups with the cross for Jesus and is tough and committed. At the urgent care the doctor was immediately deeply concerned and after talking and doing some tests said that Denise needed to go right now to the SkyRidge Medical Center Hospital. She called ahead and said the doctors were waiting for her arrival. We could hardly believe our ears. So with Sophia we drove Denise to the emergency entrance. The wonderful nurses and doctors worked with her and ran many tests. As they worked Denise and I talked and felt that this was an attack of the devil. We then knew the source of the evil and pleaded the Blood of Jesus. Sophia also was getting sick and I had to get a vomit bag for her. She was exhausted from the flight and needed sleep.  Denise and I prayed again and agreed together for the Lord Jesus to bind the devil and loose this attack. From that moment she started getting better. The doctor came in and said I am convinced that you have a pulmonary embolism, which can occur after a flight of nine or ten hours. This problem he said could kill a person very quickly. After a while the tests came back negative but he still wanted to do a Cat scan. That test came back clear. Denise came home! Sophia's fever left. So from facing the report of a life threatening blood clot to a clear report, Jesus did a true miracle. Thank you Jesus.

 

I just wanted you all to know that we need your prayers. The devil attacks with venom where he can. We need your covering of prayer as we set off now for the future with us sharing Jesus with tens of millions every month. You will see from the list below our August meetings and TV. We need your love, prayers and support. Sophia will start the 4th grade this month.
