Closing Thoughts on 2021 from Walter Spires, evangelist, disciplemaker, and author

Hi Walter Spires with OnlyJesusLife and Desperate Men Ministries. Before the New Year’s celebrations begin, I want to share a few thoughts looking back and ahead. It has been another challenging one for this nation and the world, but also small ministries like ours. As I was praying through what I might say, the Holy Spirit brought to mind two words: fear and distraction. Some of Satan‘s best work has been perpetrated in this world the last couple of years thru the virus and other disasters and havoc, he and the demons who have power on this earth are allowed to cause. Most do not know that this authority was succumbed to them after the sin and fall of mankind. But that is another story. This fear and distraction will remain and demonic  activity continue to increase with greater fury.as the return of Christ draws near.

The underlying issue of fear is that people are afraid of dying; even more afraid to admit it.  It is often well-masked by creating their own gods that appear to meet their needs but cannot fill the voids of empty hearts or truly assuage any fears.

As Christians we have the only answer: Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord. I began this ministry seven years ago through my ministry to desperate men in rescue missions, life recovery programs, and prison. I included churches in that, but often find that to be the most difficult place to break through. Seems odd doesn’t it?

The world is approaching nearly 2 years since this virus began wreaking havoc that shut down in-person access for churches and ministries. Many recovered, but sadly some still do not allow person to person Bible evangelism and discipleship.

Despite all of that I continue to write teach and produce biblical truth every week through videos, podcasts, and written messages and lessons made available to thousands. And anytime a door is open to go reach and  teach in person, I show up. I love to be with desperate people.

My mission and message are very simple. Teach what Jesus taught, and do what Jesus did because, to find God, people must first repent of their sins – Jesus’ first words of ministry – and receive Him as Savior. Then we surrender our agendas to His and allow the Holy Spirit to make him Lord of our lives. Christians know Jesus is the only answer for all that ails mankind.

So if you agree that what I said is true and the need for evangelistic, disciplemakers like me is greater than ever, then I plead with you to support this ministry and know it is well invested in the lives of lost people and Christians who need to love and live more like Jesus.

In my remaining days, the Lord has clearly called me to this work, and I am faithful to Him. I would be incredibly humbled to have you come alongside and walk with me the rest of this journey.
