Casting My Net to the Other Side

Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing.” “We’ll come, too,” they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night.  At dawn Jesus was standing on the beach, but the disciples couldn’t see who he was. ⁵ He called out, “Fellows, have you caught any fish?” “No,” they replied.  Then he said, “Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you’ll get some!” So they did, and they couldn’t haul in the net because there were so many fish in it.  John 21:3-6

Tonight while waiting to be seated at a local resturant with my family, this portion of scripture came into my mind.  I wasn't reading anything.  I wasn't even thinking about anything, my mind was empty.  I was just watching the wait staff and the hostesses in their hustle and bustle trying to seat everyone who had come into the resturant.  The Holy Spirit had placed this story in my mind but why?  What was the reason?

This Saturday, March 23rd will be the 3rd anniversary of my first post on Facebook as Tell Someone Ministries.  God has blessed and expanded us into Twitter and a blogspot page.  He has allow our words to be read in Russia, China, India, Turkey, Vietnam, Indonesia as well as many other countries across the globe and on every continent.  I have been encouraged and blessed by "likes" and positive comments from believers, but that is only part of our goal.  Not only do we want to encourage the believer to go and tell someone, but it is our goal to see the lost saved and to disciple them to tell others.  So where do we go from here?

The Holy Spirit is telling me to the while I am fishing, to "cast my net" to the other side.  He is wanting me to step out from behind the keyboard.  He wants me to step outside of cyber-space and into the real world.  He is calling me to do things that I have ran from all my life.  I do not know exactly where all that will lead.  I do know that the Lord has been leading in this direction for some time now.  He has led me to make choices the last few months that has confounded some.  They don't understand, but I do. 

As I undertake this next step by "casting my net" to the other side, be praying for me.  I will continue posting online but it may not be as often.
