THE SPIRIT MARKS THE BEGINNING OF THE CHURCH
Greetings in the name of Christ:
My friends we all have an opportunity to give God the supreme position in our lives through the daily; if not hourly surrender to His will in our lives. In some cases those things that we would normally not want to happen will become a blessing to us, but only if we are very truthful about what we have asked God for in this life.
It is certainly one thing for us to pray " Lord use me for your glory...take all that I have and allow me to serve you in what ever way you want me to"...and then to actually live through it. There have been several times in my life where I have myself having prayed such prayers and then being called on by the Holy Spirit to live those prayers out in reality. God used me to make a tremendous connection with a lady in the 1980's which became nothing less than a miracle within my life. Again in the early 2000's I was called on by the Holy Spirit to open my doors to someone whom God had lead my way, and now once again a friendship developed through the leadership of Christ has lead another to my door in great need. I will of course answer that call as well knowing that life and death are in the balance within her life. I just buried her husband this last week, and she has now one who can step up that she really trusts. My wife Patty and I are called on by God's Spirit to do what we all should be willing to do in Christ...see the needs and fill them for those who suffer around us.
I have no idea what God has in store for us or how long this will be, all I know is that this lady has terminal Cancer, and is in a wheel chair without Christ. She has just lost her only support person that she trusts, and she has a son with a brain tumor as well that we must now look out for...he is in his 30's, and he lives in Green Bay WI. I am asking that you join with us in prayer for the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to guide us in this situation, and that you would continue to pray through out the tests and trials to come.
I don't believe that we who are in Christ have ever been tested in a complete way as they were in the first church, but I do believe that it will be in the coming tests and trials we have that we will find the unity of God's Holy Spirit coming among us to lift us out of fear and hate in this world. We need something to unify us in the Spirit of God and this may well be the beginning of that test for my household. Pray that we stand strongly for Christ Jesus. May you richly bless God through your life in Him.
