Gotta Get To Jesus

Hey Friends,

This is Odie reporting in from home. I hope you are doing good right now. I am doing well. I am thrilled to at least be on the same property as my parents. We are practicing extreme distancing! Thank you to many of you that have checked on us. 

The Covid-19 pandemic is absolutely horrific! I pray we will soon be through this time. My prayers are for protection, healing, provision and for our leaders.

I am grateful that we can rely on God to carry us through. We will survive! Thank God that we have hope! Here is a verse that gives me comfort. Isaiah 41:13 "For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, fear not; I will help thee."

Revival
Are you enjoying revival online? I am loving it. Dad and Mom are set up in the garage having revival on YouTube and Mixlr and I am isolated from them in my house listening with my in-ear monitor and singing in my cordless microphone. We would love to have you join us at 8:00 PM each night.

Tomorrow night, Sunday, Dad has announced we will be singing for the hour, trying to fulfill some of the requests that have been left for us. I am sure Dad will sneak his fair share of preaching in as well.

Gotta Get To Jesus

Last week the song, Gotta Get to Jesus. especially spoke to my heart. It was a "random song suggestion" on my phone. This was the song I needed for that day. The chorus and second verse really encouraged me. 

Sis. Rachel McCutcheon is one of the writers of this song. Sis Rachel can sing the fire out of this song! Click here to hear Millikin/McCutcheon singing the song. It is a 

pleasure to call Sis. Rachel our friend.

Click here to see a neat clip of The Collingsworth Family. they are talking about finding the song. They also sing their version of the song.

Verse 1

My physicians tried in vain

For twelve long years of pain

Is proof that there is nothing they can do

I just heard somebody say 

There's a healer on the way

Somehow I have to press my way through

Chorus

I've gotta get to Jesus

Gotta get to Jesus

I know that He's the answer to my needs

Bring Him all my problems

Only He can solve them

Mend the broken pieces

Gotta get to Jesus

Verse 2

When my world is torn apart

I need healing for my heart

I really don't know how much more I can take

Trapped inside a cloud of disbelief and doubt

I only know one way of escape

Chorus

I've gotta get to Jesus

Gotta get to Jesus

I know that He's the answer to my needs

Bring Him all my problems

Only He can solve them

Mend the broken pieces
Gotta get to Jesus

Bridge

If the hem of His garment is all I can reach

I know if I touch Him
 I will be free

I will be free

Chorus

I've gotta get to Jesus

Gotta get to Jesus

I know that He's the answer to my need

Bring Him all my problems

Only He can solve them

Mend the broken pieces

Gotta get to Jesus

Tag

Bring Him all my problems

I know He can solve them

Mend the broken pieces

All these broken pieces

Gotta get to Jesus

Gotta get to Jesus

I have loved this song for a few years. It has ministered to me a lot of times. This time was different, I was not focused on my personal needs. Last week I was overwhelmed by the fact that Jesus was the answer to the troubles of our nation and world! 

I had to touch Jesus for myself. Right here at home, I began to call out to Jesus.  He heard my cries and he ministered to me so sweetly. My prayers did not end the pandemic, but I knew that I had touched Him.  God is hearing our prayers! We must get to Jesus.

Something else that has been on my heart this week. (Wouldn't you know, Dad preached about this last night in revival.) We are all infected with the minuscule germ called sin. It is much worse than Covid-19, and it is deadly to all of us! No amount of bleach or disinfected can sanitizer us from sin.

You must have one important vaccination to recover from sin. The blood of Jesus is that vaccine and it can set us free. Jesus shed his blood on the cross for the remission of all sins. His blood is still flowing today and it is free to anyone. Jesus wants to wash you in His blood today.

Jesus is waiting for you to call on Him. Remember the chorus above? Here are my favorite lines.

"I know that He's the answer to my need

Bring Him all my problems

Only He can solve them

Mend the broken pieces

Gotta get to Jesus"

Jesus is the answer to your questions. Salvation through the blood of Jesus will change your life! I encourage you to call on Him today!! Then you can have hope through Him.

I love all of you! Thank you for visiting us on the blog. I appreciate you reading, as I shared my heart. Have a great weekend.
