"Today is the day of Salvation"
We are nothing without Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
Scripture says: Believe on Jesus, Confess Him as Lord of your life, and then simply Accept Him as your Savior.
God takes us as we are ... we have not done anything too difficult for Him to forgive nor do we need to do anything to make ourselves good enough for Him.
Jesus Loves You !!!!!!
If you have not talked to God before about becoming one of His own children, here is a simple prayer to pray: Father, I confess I am without you and I need you to have control in my life. Please forgive me as I am and I now receive Jesus as my Lord and Savior.  In Jesus Name, amen.
If you pray this prayer, please use the contact page to let us know.
We are praying for you !!

Gap-Filler Ministries has been an influence in the Local, State, National, and International sphere of what God is doing in these last days.

"Thoughts ...":

"The right tool"

John 3:16 - " ... That none should perish ..."

 The other day I saw a man on a riding machine. This machine could mow the grass in the summer time - as long as it had its mower blades on; and it could plow the snow in the winter time - as long as it had its snow blade on. For some men, these machines are basically toys. As it has been said, the only difference between men and boys, is the price of the toys.

When a man jumps on this rider, two things come to his mind ... I have the power to get the job done, and I will get the job done. Men are usually more task oriented. A women seems to be able to be interupted more frequently during the course of the job and still be able to get it done, whereas a man can get more frustrated at the job if this happens. So, once a man gets on a machine, it is usually best to allow him the time he needs to complete it.

God is much more than a machine. God is actually the person riding the machine but He does not get frustrated as you and I would. You and I are the blades that get to cut the lawn or push the snow. He has the power, since it is His Spirit which runs the machine to give us what we need to finish the task.

Sometimes we need to be adjusted like for the inclines in the path, and sometimes we need to be completely taken off to be sharpened up. When God allows tests in our lives, we are being sharpened so He can go back to work to accomplish His task. His task is that of saving the world. He needs His tools to be in good shape to accomplish that. He has chosen us to be those tools.

We are to be used for His will and His purpose. Being a lawn mower blade during the winter time would be a waste of equipment, just like being a snow plow blade during the summer would be. He knows which one to use and when. It's time to allow Him to do His job in our lives.

This lady has "Elephant Leg" - no doctor's help, no cure. She walks where she needs to go. She Worships God from her heart for she knows Who God is !!




These prisoners have just received some blankets. They do not have a blanket to sleep on (they sleep on the dirt floor) unless people donate money to buy blankets for them. The government does not provide blankets for prisoners.




Most pastors have not been to seminary and cannot afford a "Study Bible" to help them prepare for preaching & teaching.





Many children only have the toys that they can make from scraps of materials / wood.
