My Brother John Reilly and I went to Dunkin Doughnuts again to drop off a Spanish Bible to Miguel, and to encourage him (and get some lattes while we were there...).
Miguel was in great spirits, filled with The Holy Spirit. He was grateful for the Bible, and told us he wanted to start reading it right away. I asked him if he shared with his friend/co-worker about Jesus, and he said he had been doing that, but "...his friend wanted to think about it before making a decision...". PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME! I told Miguel to keep sharing with him.
I told Miguel to keep sharing with his friend, and John & I got the opportunity to share about Jesus with the other worker-an Indian lady named Bhatia. Please pray for Bhatia (My spelling may be off, but God knows who she is!), and for her salvation.
We're praying that this Dunkin Doughnuts will be a light in a sea of darkness, and that all who enter will hear about Jesus!
Pray for John and I as we continue to go back there. May we be sensitive to The Holy Spirit, and go when HE says to go!
Thank You, Jesus for continuing to use me! ALL the glory to Jesus!!!

Personal Testimony Jan 10, 2011-The Angels Are Rejoicing in Heaven!
Personal testimony about The Lord using myself, and my friend John to bring someone into The Kingdom....
The week before Christmas 2010, my friend John and I went out to lunch. We live across the street from each other, and work around the corner from each other-so we go to lunch often. One day that week, we went out for Chinese food, then drove to our favorite Dunkin Doughnuts on Rt 454 near the Sunken Meadow in Hauppauge/Commack. We ordered our lattes, sat down to drink them, then "somehow" began a conversation with one of the young men working there-Miguel.
Both John and I shared The Gospel with Miguel, but after asking him several times if he wanted to pray to accept Jesus as his personal Savior, Miguel stated that he wasn't ready. Both John & I told him how to receive Jesus when he was ready, wished Miguel a Merry Christmas, and told him that we would be back.
Fast forward to today. John and I had lunch in Commack, then I looked at John and said that we needed to go to the Dunkin Doughnuts that Miguel worked at for a "follow-up visit". We arrived there, and walked up to the counter to order, and Miguel was there eating his lunch. We asked Miguel if he thought about what we told him when we saw him last, and he said YES! Miguel got side-tracked when an older man sat down next to him, but he left after a few minutes. I switched chairs at the table we were at, and I asked Miguel to join us. He eagerly sat down. I asked Miguel if he wanted to accept Jesus as His Lord & Savior, and he said YES! A few minutes later, the angels were rejoicing in Heaven as Miguel began a new life in Christ!
John and I plan on going back for some follow-up visits shortly, and to drop off a Spanish Bible. Please pray for Miguel as he begins his walk with his Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. John and I talked with him for a few more minutes before we left, and we both believe that Miguel will be sharing his faith with others at that Dunkin Doughnuts very soon!
Thank You Jesus for using us! All the Glory goes to YOU!!!

Bow Your Knees to The Father....
Ephesians 3: 14-21 (Amplified Bible)
For this reason [seeing the greatness of this plan by which you are built together in Christ], I bow my knees before the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
For Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named [that Father from Whom all fatherhood takes its title and derives its name].
May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality].
May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love,
That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it];
[That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!
Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]--
To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it).

I Was Created For....
A friend and Sister in The Lord shared this with me, and wanted me to share this on The Jesus Freak Blog. Thank you, Genevieve- for being so faithful and writing this down after God spoke to you.
I Was Created For………………
For You O Lord I was created. I was created to praise you, the very one who created the universe and everything that exists! Every time I see the sun, or smell the fragrant flowers I see the work of your hands. When I look at the ocean or the mountains I see your majesty and power, I stand in awe of your creations, knowing this is but a shadow of what is in heaven. I praise you for who You are. You are Majestic, sovereign and holy. You are the very essence and meaning of why these words were created, I am humbled and honored to be able to call you Father.
I was created to worship you. To worship you for the very life I have. For you have redeemed and purchased my life with your precious blood. You have restored me spiritually and physically. I truly am a new creation because of You. I will be forever grateful, and am yours to do whatever you will. I was created to have an intimate relationship with you, the one true living God, who has revealed great mysteries to me. To know you, and your will in my life as well as you know me. To become more and more like you, so others can see your love, grace and mercy that are waiting for them.
When I am in your presence I only want to praise you. To get so lost in you, time or the things of this world do no matter. This is the fulfillment of all joy and gratification. What joy that overflows in me, when my spirit soars higher into the holiest of holies. I bow down humbled and awed that you love me the way you do. When these revelations come upon me, it literally takes my breath away and again the only thing I can do is worship You.
I was created to worship, praise, and glorify you, have reverence, fear, obey, and serve you. Have a relationship with you, bring others to you, be faithful, love you and you alone, but most of all I was created to spend eternity in your presence. Oh, the joy and privilege that awaits me. I thank you Lord for creating me.
ALL the Glory to Jesus! AMEN?

Galatians 2:17 -21 Crucified With Christ?
Galatians 2:17 -21
“But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not! For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”

The eyes of The Lord are in every place,
keeping watch on the evil and the good.
