Prayer Changes Things

I just attended the three o'clock message at the church and wow what a message. It's true churches need to be more like Fire Stations and Christians more like Firemen. They work as a team with a clear purpose to save those who are lost and dieing. We need to keep our focus on our mission to seek and save the lost. Invite someone to the Rose Garden for Easter. Do it today.

Jesus is at work we need to open our spiritual eyes!

Wow there is a battle going on. I know who wins in the end. Just ask me.

It looks like God has provided a way for me to get into a vehicle with out a big financial out lay. One of the Godly families in Longview are getting a new car and are willing to sell me the old one on great terms so I won't have to pay off until after my house sells. Thank you Jesus!

Please keep praying for our permanent facility in Longview. Opportunities have come and gone but I don't know if they were the best thing for our church in Longview.

Currently we are looking at a building at New York and 9th street. It is an older building built in the early 50's. It would require new walls insulation and cooling before we could use it. And the problem of parking needs to be addressed. Please pray that if this is the place that it will work out.

Praise the Lord!!

Mike is going to be out next week and says I can use his truck until he returns. That's why they call it a walk. Just keep stepping. I should get one of those pedometers so I can measure the steps. Keep praying that my house sells at the right price.

The Little Green Truck is a Goner!

Will now what? I won't bore you with the details. Lets just say I am searching for a new ride.
The question at these points in our lives is what does God have for us next? Stay tuned in and see what he will do.

You don't know what you have till it's gone

Thursday my little green truck as John likes to call it started smoking and today it went into the shop to see what might be causing all that smoke. Of course I can think of the worst and hope for the best, but that much smoke coming out the tail pipe can't be a good thing. When your ride is gone your world changes and you realise how spoiled we really are. I want to go when I want to go and I don't want to have to depend on any body. Quite the opposite I want to be able to help others when they call. Please pray that God works all of this out ASAP.

Facing The Giants in your life

Are you facing any Giants?

I saw the new movie out Facing the Giants last week. The part that really got me was the part where the coach is asking the prayer warrior why God wasn't listening to him and I just loved his response. (In my own words) We have to ask and act as if God has heard our prayers. What does that look like in my life? The next time I am faced with a task that is bigger than I believe that I can do on my own. I need to ask God for the strength and boldly go forward with every thing I have believing that God can multiply (extend) past my previously perceived ability.
Remember God is in the business of forming and shaping us for his work. What wall are up against this week? Are you giving God a chance or are you limited (trapped) by your own mind.
Check out the movie this week let me know what you think.
