Email Encouragements! - II

I am going to post some encouraging emails I have gotten ove the past while, There has been probably literally up to 1000 of these so I will just post a few here to encourage everyone that is part of this ministry project to be encouraged and know the Lord is working in many peoples hearts.For more encouragements visit this thread:Email Encouragements!---Sent : August 18, 2004 10:55:36 PM To : sermonindex@msn.com Subject : SermonIndex.net - Contact Us Form | | | Inbox Brother Gordon,I've been feasting at a table that is heavily laden. I've been having such an increidble time listening to numerous mp3's I've been able to burn onto CD's and hear all day while working. It's such a joy! I owe it all to you and your website.My family and I recently quit attending our church that was, to be most plain, very carnal. We've begun having church in our home. It's been three weeks, and I've been overjoyed with the assurance of God's leading. So I need to keep my tank full, so I can minister to them. So far the Lord's been using this wonderland of recorded sermons your ministry supplies to keep me fed, and it's some green green grass!So thank you. My soul thanks you. I don't know where else I could hear so much that's so pure and of God. My support to the storehouse will soon.In Jesus,Brother John

I just bumped into your site this summer and the content has had a huge impact me. I’m a student graphic/web designer and I appreciate the simplicity and clarity of your sight. It would be helpful to have short bio’s of the speakers in your mp3 section so that the user could know a little about the background. Things like denominational affiliation, birth and death, history of there impact in the church etc. Thank you again for providing this resource.God Bless Jordan Gushwa

The messages available for download, and especially those from Leonard Ravenhill, have brought me radically closer to the Lord. Oh how I wish my chuch had the guts to preach the word like some of these men. I've learned more from your website in 3 months than I have going to church the past 3 years. May God continue to bless your ministry. Thank you.Kevin Crawford

Praise God!!!(but then again, this is sad in a way)Thats funny I shared that email with a friend and he said the same thing. But sadly its the state of many churches as you well know. As Paris Reidhead said 'until we get back to Christianity...'

I have been preaching since 1977 and not long after that, read my first copy of Revival Praying, which changed my life. Our ministry, Truth To The Nations has a heart for revival and holiness within the church. We do much ministry in Wales and the United Kingdom. The website is a true ministry to get our hearts in tune with the Lord's purposes. Thank you for all you do for the Lord Jesus, Bill Baldwin

I am a young pastor in a new area planting a new church. As a result my support system is a bit small. However, your ministry has been an enourmous blessing for me. Listening to great men of faith severl times a week has not only encouraged me but challenged me to dig deeper the wells of faith. It has helped me keep my focus on Christ and His purposes while planting a church rather than getting caught up in techniques and numbers. Keep up the great work!!! God Bless,Sean GriffithPastor of South Shore Community Church New Jersey

With the combination of excellent audio sermons and useful articles I truly believe that sermonindex is probably the most helpful Christian website, and needed website, out there. I am recommending it to others, even people in other parts of the world. God bless you - I think the rediscovery of the sermons and writing of great men of God is essential in our day.Thanks again,Owen

My wife, Sandy, and I are currently posted in Australia serving in an exchange position with the Australian Defence Forces. We have not found very strong Christian teaching here in Canberra, and in an attempt to find some edifying MP3s for my ‘running days,’ I stumbled upon your web site.Without belaboring the point with all the details, these messages have called upon both of us to mature in our faith. Paris Reidhead has challenged me more to live up to my profession of faith than any living pastor in my 8 years as a Christian. I would never have thought that a mid-20th century ‘fundamentalist’ could get my attention like that. I am now convinced that God’s message transcends my own weak classifications of other people/churches and that I have a lot to gain by hearing and weighing those messages against scripture, not my own preconceptions.Thanks to you for keeping these sermons alive and available to those of us who desperately need to hear them.May God bless you and this effective ministry –Chris

God wants us to be holy set apart for Him, so we are to destroy sin from our lifes nothing is hidden from our Lord. Hope to see you in heaven soon.

Someone just a few weeks ago blessed me with an ipod mp3 player that holds about a months worth of files if contiually played.  I thank God for blessing me with it and your website has supplied me with so, so much to listen to. It's been a renewing of my faith and it's re-kindling a fire in me that had been reduced to a smoking flax. The Lord is good!Thanks for your service to Jesus Christ through the website.

Not crass (i.e really off advertising) like many other christian sites, well presented etc. It certainly makes it on my top ten list. Thanks and God bless

Sent : January 19, 2005 10:48:59 AM To : Subject : Great web site for true ministry to the world. | | | Inbox I wanted to tell you that the website is perfect for world evangelism. There is no better method than the audible preaching of the Word of God under the true anointing of the Holy Spirit. This is God’s method, and to find a website that understands that is a wonderful thing. The ministers you have chosen to highlight are a great example of what God will do in a preacher who has given themselves completely to Christ and are shut in with God in prayer. The power of the Holy Spirit to convict the heart of men is evident in many of these sermons that I have heard and I hope that this site will be around for many years to come. The simplicity of the site is of great value also, please keep this simplicity and I am sure this site will become very popular.

trsmith submitted the following Information:Location KentuckyCommentsI just want to drop a line of encouragement. I was thrilled to find your site, and realize someone has archived and made available great sermons by great men of God. Keep up the good work till He comes. The Measure of our Success is the Measure of Christ We bring, Nothing Else.

jasond76 submitted the following Information:Email divincenzo@saferinternet.comCommentsHey SI, just wanted to thank you guys for such a wonderful site. I had been praying for God to show me the "old paths" when I found this site! I feel like I found a gold mine. Many folks at my church are hungry for this type of old school preaching and I can't help but think that God is trying to revive His church for one last stand against the enemy! Earnestly contend for the faith! Your brother in Christ, Jason DiVincenzo.

Subject: \tSermonIndex.net - Contact Us FormDate: \tMarch 31, 2005 6:47:09 AM PSTI've been very blessed by your ministry and while I'm blessed to hear these men of God preach the word with the spirit so clearly flowing from their mouths, I find myself wanting the same kind of church to go to in person. To have the likes of D.L. Moody, Spurgeon, Reidhead or others at the pulpit of my church. While I know that no man should be exalted above the Lord or above his word...I do appreciate and respect these tremendous preachers...and long for such teaching where I live. In light of this, I would like to know if there are some key sermons that you would reccomend. Sometimes I feel a bit ovewhelmed with the choices on sermonindex. I don't have much time to listen to the messages so each one I think should be a good one. If you can think of some that really have been impactful to you I would appreciate it if you could forward these messages on to me. Thankyou and May God continue to bless you.

Subject: \tThank God for the Sermon Index web site\tDate: \tJune 1, 2005 10:00:07 PM PDTDear Br.Greg Gordon,Greetings to you in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am adisciple of Christ from the southern part of India since 1988. Until2002, I got chance only to read the articles of godly people like A.W.Tozer and Leonard Ravenhill etc. Because of sermon index web site, Icould downloaded and listen the messages of godly people like A.W.Tozer, Leonard Ravenhill, Paris Reidhead and Zac Poonen etc. Theirmessages are unadulterated with conviction and unction. I personallypraise God for this web site. I do regularly pray for this movement inorder to become more blessing to God's remnant all across the worldfrom deception which is very much rampant in the present Christendom.Last many years I had the privilege to hear Br. Zac Poonen's teaching.I thank God for his life and ministry. Majority of Lord's ministers inIndia hate him(at times they called him 'Anti-christ' and a falseprophet)because he proclaim unadulterated gospel with authority andhumility. On 22nd May, 2005 he spoke a message entitled "Our Kingdom IsNot Of This World". This message expose the lies of the devil, falsegospel and false preachers. The video format and audio format areuploaded in their web site http://www.cfcindia.com/ Please keep thismessage in sermon index website and encourage God's people to watch it.This a timely message of the Lord. Oh! how much satan(master ofdeception) try to oppose these types of message.Finally praise God for your burden and labor to spread genuine gospelof Christ all across the world. Will be pray for you and this group.Kindly acknowledge the receipt.Yours brother in-Christ,

Subject: \tSermonIndex.net - Contact Us Form\tDate: \tAugust 1, 2005 6:21:18 PM PDTLocation GTA, Ontario, CanadaCommentsHi. I'd just like to personally thank you for making this resource. I think that it will help many who can not make it to church, such as bedridden elderly folk, and the younger people as well when for whatever reason they can not make it. I'm not advocating this in place of church, but I think that it is a wonderful supplement. I can have a sermon preached to me more often than once a week now. Thank you very much.

Date: \tAugust 3, 2005 1:56:09 PM PDTLocation dallas texasSir,your website has brought to my soul the greatest impact ever. I have nothing to offer in gratitude that can match up with what the Lord has reserved for you.Thank you and thank you again. The messages of Ravenhill and Tozer etc oh how glorious to have them!!!

Hello Greg, my name is Jesse and I am 21 years old and I live in Redlands, Ca. I just want to say that I have been trememdously blessed by this website. I just want to say thank you so much for all the input you put in this site. My life has changed dramatically, by these messages. My favorite preacher is Leonard Ravenhill. I can't tell how many times I want to cry for the church age that we live in today.

Date: \tAugust 6, 2005 11:50:25 AM PDTJust wanted to encourage you to continue in this valuable service to those who are hungering for more of the Lord. I have been encouraged by the discernment of those in charge of this site. Continue to obey the convictions of your heart on the messages you allow.

Thankyou so much. I have really benefited from sermon index and the many preachers. Especially Leonard Ravenhill and Ray Comfort. I hope this site will continue for ever. It's amazing the way God works. For at least 3 years I had been searching for sermons at Christian bookstores and couldn't find anything except for watered down prosperity Hillsong Sermons ($30 a sermon, sometimes more). BTW Never ever considered buying any of those. But a freind gave me a copy of Revival Hymn and was lead to this site and through this site I discovered Ray Comfort and am now out on the streets proclaiming the Gospel. God Bless you!

Thank you for your work in posting the teachings and sermons from those who have asked and walked in the old paths. (Jeremiah 6:16) As a young believer I was influenced by Leonard Ravenhill's life and ministry in East Texas in 1980. He lived his life praying for revival and for the believers to seek the face of the Lord in prayer for His touch upon their hearts for the lost. The time is drawing near for the Son of Man to appear and now is the hour to labour... Looking Up, LUKE 21:28
