Cussed Out

[walkin2e]

Have you ever been cussed out while preaching? I have, several times. This happened at the Nursing Home on Sunday. I was preaching on Jer Chapter 17 and Matthew Chapter 22 verses 1-14). I was inspired by this episode to write this poem:

Cussed Out

Sunday I was cussed out while preaching the word
It was some of the foulest language I've ever heard
The old woman that Satan used was shaking her fist
As she took God's name in vain do you get my gist

Shut up or I will kill you she loudly said
Her mean words went right over my head
I continued to praise Jesus by singing a song
And God sent deliverance before very long

As the presence of the Holy Spirit began to flow
A woman laying by the cussing lady began to glow
Jesus touched her with a sweet message of hope
And gave her extra grace and strength to cope

Satan tried to prevent a great moment of glory
As I preached about the good old gospel story
All the wicked cussing and threatening of my life
Goes to show you that Satan tries to stir up strife

He tries to stop the word of God from being spoken
To needful souls who are burdened and heart broken
But once again victory in Jesus was won
And one more sermon was finished and done

Wow! Praise be to God in the Highest!

*High fives the preacher for his fearlessness in Christ!!

​

I praise God for people like you who not only go out to preach his word outside of the Church walls, but who carry on in the face of the enemy and bring people through deliverance to know the peace of the Lord. Praise be to God. x

This past Sunday, that particular woman was present. She was quiet, and on my way out, she asked me to pray for her. Praise the Lord.

When I arrived, one of the nurses greeted me, and said, "You might want to cancel because we have no electricity except the emergency generator lights". I replied, "No, we are still gonna have church". I went into the little room where several were gathered, and began to sing "Victory in Jesus" and "Where Could I Go"...Suddenly, the lights came on, and Darryl (one of the residents) said, "Praise the Lord, we can have music now!"...and we did.

I preached on Balaam and his trusty donkey, and then read the scripture about what happened to Jezebel, the wicked woman who tried to kill poor ole Elijah. (2 Kings 9 verses 30-37)

We certainly had an old fashioned meeting.

I think it's neat that you go to places other than just your church building. God bless
