FISHERS OF MEN
They were fishing aimlessly in a fog of self-centeredness
He called them one by one and told them, "Follow me".
He taught them to heal, change hearts, and to give without selfishness.
They awoke him in darkness and cried that they were afraid and could not see.
He calmed the storm and came to them on the waves, touching their hearts.
They were blind and he made them see, and couldn't walk and made them well.
He taught them to repent and to love others and seek the father and live forever.
They couldn't even remain awake in the night to watch for just one hour.
He was taken to be tried and then crucified and on that fateful day of hell.
They saw that rent was the curtain from top to bottom and flung open was the door.
He left heaven's pathway now wide open to those who believe and have reprieve.
Death and sin and hell are conquered and free are all men to follow the Son and believe.
Now the fisherman is still with us in spirit and comforts us each and every one.
We read the Bible, we sing, we pray and meditate that someday he'll come.
He'll rule over all the earth and every knee shall bow and yes, his spirit has won.
We now call others to leave their nets, "Follow him".
Leave your boats and rejoice; YOU ARE FREE.
Leave your sins willingly and choose which path will it be
---Sin, Hate, Destruction, and Death?--or Love, and Liberty and Life. Hallelujah, ---Jesus Christ Arose!

17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

We are Christians, all fishing the way that Jesus taught us, trying to be the light in a world of darkness. We are fishermen, being used by the Holy
Spirit to bring healing and the food of forgiveness for a chance to catch that one person who might listen to the words of the Bible, that changes
hearts and minds. It is not too late to turn around and change the direction you are going in. Check the compass heading of your soul and make
sure you are on the right path. Look in the mirror at what evil does to a person who does not have God by his side. Being with God makes a person
strong enough to resist the temptations of this world and to willingly give up the sins that lead a weak human body to despair and destruction.
God loves you and wants you to be a spiritual being, free from the torments of the fleshly body.
