Good morning, from the RGV (Rio Grande Valley).
Well, it finally happened.... it got cold. Cold for here anyway and I know, not as cold as where you are. I did venture out for a while yesterday and talked with the few brave souls. Our ministry here is needed. There are many non believers and people hurting in many different ways. My sermon this Sunday will be on “Listening to God.” Not only listening but, claiming the promises He has for us. I read a story today I want to share.
Illustration: A man found dead next to a dumpster. As they looked in his pockets for his identification, they discovered several checks. They were worth more than a thousand dollars, but they did him no good. He never cashed them to receive their value.
As we read God's word, we find promise after promise all having value to the believer, but we must go to God and claim His promises to meet our needs. He is bound by His word, so we can go to Him and ask. Nothing is so small that He is not concerned and nothing is to large that He cannot solve it.
James 1:5-6 We limit God by the limitations we place on Him.
ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.6But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
So this week, whatever is a need in your life, go to Him and ask. Jesus said “Whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.”
LaVon and I are truly thankful to God for each of you. Thank you for your continual support and interest in our ministry by investing yourself in many ways as partners with us: by prayer, e-mails, phone calls and your financial gifts. Without any of these we could not continue what God has called us to do and that is to share the living water with the world through the RV ministry.
Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
Don
