“Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.’
“And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
“Then Jesus said to them, ‘Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.’"
Mark 1:14-17
I enjoyed watching this lone fisherman casting his line into the ocean and decided to take a picture of him. He of course had bait on the hook, and he would reel the line in and then cast out again, over and over again.
Jesus told His disciples to follow Him and He would make them fishers of men. Certainly, Jesus is talking about preaching the gospel and getting people born again, but someone else to consider as a fisher of men is you: God’s Intercessor.
Think of the countless times you have been alone in your prayer closet. You have sought the Holy Spirit to pray for multitudes you don’t even know, throwing the line out to the lost that are in turbulence and darkness, who are living lives without purpose or direction.
Saints, God knows and He takes into account your sacrifice of love and dedication to pray.
There are many blessings from the Lord to be enjoyed now, but far greater rewards of glory when our assignments here are completed and we are living with our Savior Jesus face to face. Until then, dear heart, keep up the good work!
Throw that line out to the lost in prayer and be fishers of men!

There’s more of Me to know.
There’s more of you to know.
There’s no end to My Kingdom.
You were called before the foundation of the world.
You are My handiwork.
The creation is My handiwork.
The creation is calling for the sons to help. Speak the blessing to it.
Prayer releases the ability of God.
When you pray expect an answer.
The Bible is your mirror. See what you look like there, and not the world.
You were designed for greatness.
You are not your own. You were bought with a price.
There’s power in you.
Do not love this passing world.
Love the Father.
