Walking The Walk

I have spent some time thinking and praying about what I am about to say. There are things that I can not and will not talk about. The past is just that the past and it needs to stay that way. Thus this saying ” The Main Thing is to remember to keep The Main Thing the Main Thing”. This walk started April 24 1982 and some of it has been a struggle. I did not have religion so when I was saved it was totally a faith thing did not know if there was a God nor the devil, did not know if there was a Heaven or a Hell and really did not care. Until I got so far down there was only one way to look and that was up. The day I went to church was when I had nothing else and I was asked if I would like to attend and I thought why not nothing else has worked. Thus my walk started.
I had no reason only that nothing was working and I do mean nothing. I could not drink enough nor do enough drugs I could not fix it so I went to church. Have I done it all right NO not by a long shot. I have probably messed it up more than most however God never gave up on me only I did that. I am sure there was times when God shock his head. However I can say I never have doubted that God is real and I accepted Him as my Savior. My hero in the Bible is Peter. He spent a lot of time with his foot in his mouth however Jesus and God knew his heart. Jesus even told him he would say he did not know him. And he did not once 3 times however that same person preached on the day of Pentecost and 3000 were saved. God knew Peter’s heart and he knew what he would do when it was time to do it. So I would like to believe that the same holds true with me. I have never been ashamed of being a Christian and I will tell anyone about the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
What I am doing now is explaining what I feel and what I desire to do as in what I think God wants of me. I believe that God used a person to get me to the place He wanted me to be. I had to move to a spot where there was only God to trust. We live in a small town in the heart of Arizona. We have no transportation God put a grocery and a drug store right across the street. And put me where I had no other options I had to listen. Thus “Abounding Love Ministries Worldwide” (aka) ALMs and “The Prayer Outreach” I have been blessed daily by those God has brought to these places.
I pray more than anyone knows I think about what to say and how to say it more than I ever have in my life. I do not desire to offend anyone however I am sure I have and will because the truth hurts. God wants His people to hear His voice. As sheep know their Sheppard voice. I have become a teacher and a prayer warrior in the process. That is something that I do not take lightly at all, in fact there is times it scares me however I do not have nor will I accept the spirit of fear.
So now I have been in Arizona sense 1983 I have lived here longer than I have anywhere. However this past year has been harder on me than ever before the heat is a strain on my body. So with that I am wondering if we are to move. We have looked at a couple of places in Tennessee. Debbie is not happy in Arizona she is from the Chicago area and I am from Kentucky. However again the decision is up to God so that would be a prayer request. To go or to stay. Number two is finances due to the past things are not as great as they should be and will not get better without Gods help. So prayer request #2. I do not wish to get out of Gods will so I do not expect or desire anything that is not Gods will. Prayer request #3 is transportation. Debbie and I both agree that a mini van is where we should be. So we believe there is one for us somewhere either a gift or one that we can afford to pay for.
I am also making a place for the scripture plaques that I am making to sell at a small price for some income and we are going to be selling t-shirts and hats etc as well. So I am going to be looking for some help with designs etc. and ideas as well. I am fascinated with the group of people God has assembled here to pray for the needs of others. Daily I am seeing deeper prayers arising from this group. I believe that we are attracting people who need us and who wish to join us in Gods work.
So I will end this with this thought God uses us to do what he has for us to do. He has each of us where he wishes us to do. He is building a strong army to fight these battles so let us be all that God desires us to be… I am asking for prayer because that is what I feel I am to do. I believe God will meet all the needs of this ministry and I do believe he will use His people to do so. So please pray with us and let’s see where God takes us. Thank you for all that you all do and thank you for being here to stand with us.
Thank you for reading and may God bless and be with you and watch over you. And America it is time for us to BLESS GOD again…
Isaiah 46:4 (NKJV) Even to your old age, I am He, And even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you.
