Hey Everyone! this is my second ever bible study!!
It'll be called Harvest, because of the bible verse in Luke 10:2 saying, "And he said to them, 'The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.' "

Tonight's bible study will "take you to the cross." It was my favorite lesson my friend Bro Les would do for us. I hope i can say it so that you love it as much as I do.
First I will open with a word of prayer, kay? ^__^
Dear God,
I come before you with trembling hands as i type these words for you. Give me the strength and let you speak through me as i deliver this message.
Please be with those who do not know your glory, that they may come and seek you like have long ago.
God, I ask that this message will be done according to your will, and that those who need this message tonight will see it and read it completely.
God, I also ask that those who are hurting and aching will come to you and seek your wisdom.
God, you know our hearts and know our pains, so i lift the worlds pains to you and leave them at your throne.
God I trust you will lead us and guide us and thank you for all you do.
In Jesus's name I ask.
Amen.

Ok then. Woo! my hands are trembling and hopefully as i go on they'll stop. Oh and I'm A.D.D. so i hope i make this easy to keep up with.
But tonight, I'm going to introduce you to a good friend of mine.
He loved me with all of his heart, and he was always there when I needed him most.
He was my shoulder to cry on when no one was there.
He was my best friend when i needed someone to talk to.
I would lay awake for hours in my bed, crying about how much i missed him.
And he would always say, "Ariel, It's okay, I'm here."
And I would ask him why.
"Why would you do that for someone as low as me?"
And he'd just smile and say, "Ariel, It was because I love you."
Reading the bible, I realized how much he loved me.
I would close my eyes and see him, alone on the cross.
And it broke my heart.
The blood running down his face, his hands, his legs and feet.
He coughed blood and ripped me apart even more.
Then he smiled. And he looked at me.
And he said, "This I do for you. For each and every one of you on Earth."
I wept... And I do it now, knowing some will never read this and will so soon die and go to that awful place called Hell.
People who I could laugh with, talk with in heaven, but never will.
He endured whips slashing across his back, thorns over an inch long stabbing his skull, and just before sunrise, a roman soldier pierced his side with a spear.
Soon after that, God turned away from him, unable to see all the worlds sins on his only son.
Jesus wept more when he felt that and cried out.
Knowing his father wouldn't bear to look at him.
He then took his last breath and died.

Can you imagine that?
Some one who gave his life, for someone who you never even knew.
But he knew you.
He knew everything you would do before you would even do it yourself.
He gave his life, knowing some will turn away from him.
For the very people who hate him and curse him.
Tears stream my face, for all the ones Jesus died in vain for, for the ones who spat at him and cursed him.
For the ones who died and never knew what they could have had, but never did.
He wept, knowing some will never see him beyond those pearly gates.
Knowing they will never walk and laugh with him along those streets of gold.
And I weep too, knowing some of my closest friends will stand before God on Judgment Day, and they will see me behind Jesus and cry out, "Ariel, why did you not tell me about your amazing Savior?" I will cry in agony, knowing once my loving God casts them away, I will never see them again. I pray all who read this will take EVERY opportunity to spread God's word to their friends.

I'll open the alter tonight, to those who do not know God or just simply want to cry and pray.
And if you do not know God, Here's a simple prayer you can say, but you have to mean it. Here's the exact prayer I said myself.
"Dear Jesus,
I know I'm a sinner, but i want your blood to wash over me and make me as white as snow.
I confess to you all my sins and want you to come into my life.
Dear Jesus, please, if i can not be a lighthouse for you, let be be a candle.
I know I'm a sinner and I want to repent. Please rescue me from that horrible place called Hell and let me be with you when I die and go to heaven.
In Jesus's name I ask.
Amen.
If you said that prayer and meant it without a shadow of a doubt,
then I can promise you, 100%, that you are going to heaven.

I will now close in prayer.
Dear God,
I lift tonight's lesson to you, hoping it will lead people to you. God, my hand were trembling about an hour ago, but now they are calm, knowing you are leading me and that I hopefully lead atleast one person to know my closest friend. God I hope that you will work through me and lead people to you.
In Jesus's name I ask.
Amen.
Um... I made this really long and i hope it was helpful to whoever reads this. It got off topic but that's ok because it's God's will either way. I hope this is a light for whoever reads this and knows Jesus is there and, "If you can't be a lighthouse, be a candle." Right? If you want me to pray for you don't hesitate to pm me! ^__^ I'll do my best to give advice and help!
Lots of Love!!
~Ariel~

If you don't watch the video you wont under stand this.
If you watched the video then you're probably in tears like i am now.
this song really hits home with me and my family.
I mean, for the girl everything in her life was perfect.
She was dancing with Jesus in her life.
But then, one by one, Satan moved in on her life.
Soon she moved away from Jesus and was ready to commit suicide.
But then she's fighting so hard to get back to Jesus but Satan just keeps pushing her down.
And Jesus is pulling with all of his might and is trying to bring her back to him.
Then he uses all of his might and protects her while all of her sins are on his shoulders and she finds comfort in him.
Then he defeats Satan picks her up, brushes her off and hugs her.
To me that song brings me to tears. Not sad tears but happy tears.
To know That Jesus would do all that for one girl. But he didn't do it for one girl.
He did it for everybody. Every single person on this earth.
And it makes me smile to think he'd care that much for me.
I don't know anyone like that.
**really short i know**
I hope this helped somewhat!! ^___^
I love you guys!!!

wow that was a rlly good video! there r so many people that need to watch that. the sad thing is...there are a lot of ppl in situations like that. if ppl would pray everyday and read their Bibles they could stay close to God but everyone lets those little sins turn into big ones...then they don't know how to straighten it back out. But it's a good think Jesus is always there if we just listen...he's always gonna be there for us! smile
