Sunday's Coming

Good Morning,

Thank you for your prayers and support. We are on the road headed to Oklahoma. We made it to Van Horn, Texas, but because there will have strong winds today, we have decided to stay put and move on tomorrow..

Trusting His Love to Provide
 
“And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee: for Thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.” - Psalm 9:10
 
After World War II, a group of humanitarians placed orphan boys in tent cities to care for them. But the boys would wake up in the night from nightmares. A psychiatrist surmised that their fear was because they had such an uncertain future.
He decided to feed the boys a big meal each night, then give them each a piece of bread. He instructed them to hold the bread in their hands so it could be their breakfast. Somehow just holding in their hand a piece of bread helped them to sleep all night.

When you go to bed tonight, I want you to have bread, not in your hand, but in your heart. He is the Bread of Heaven and His name is Jesus!

Take a walk with the Lord today. Tell Him your fears. Confidently place them before the Lord. Trust in His love to provide.



We want to thank you for your support through your prayers, calls, e-mails and financial. We are so grateful for your encouraging words and God reminds us that He is still here and that each of you are here with us. So Thank You.

Have a great day, love you, pass it on.

Sunday's Coming

Good Morning,

Thank you for your prayers and support. We are in Sunscape Park in Casa Grande, Arizona and will be here until the 22nd of April, then off to Oklahoma to begin a new work.

Have you ever felt like God is not listening to you? You pray and nothing happens. You feel like David in the following passage:
Psalm 22:1-2
1.My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?
2. My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest.


Then you come to realize He was there all the time, but it was you who wasn't listening.

Verse 24 says, "For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help."

I think we all need a lesson in listening.

Prayer: Teach Me to Listen
Now the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel answered, "Speak, for Your servant hears." —1 Samuel 3:10
Lord, teach me to listen. The times are noisy and my ears are weary with the thousand raucous sounds which continuously assault them. Give me the spirit of the boy Samuel when he said to Thee, "Speak, for thy servant heareth." Let me hear Thee speaking in my heart. Let me get used to the sound of Thy voice, that its tones may be familiar when the sounds of earth die away and the only sound will be the music of Thy speaking voice. Amen. {The Pursuit of God, pp. 82-83 "Speak, for Thy servant heareth. Amen."}
We want to thank you for your support through your prayers, calls, e-mails and financial. When I am down we receive one of the above from one of you and God reminds me He is still here and that each of you are here with us. So Thank You.

Have a great day, love you, pass it on.

Sunday's Coming

Good Morning,

Thank you for your prayers and support. We are in Sunscape Park in Casa Grande, Arizona and will be here until the 23rd of April, then off to Oklahoma to begin a new work.

Like all of you, we have difficulties and get discouraged at times.


David left Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullam. 1 Samuel 22:1
After all that David went through, he ended up in the cave of Adullam. He expected a palace but got a cave! Devastating!

Does a cave sound like a place you’ve visited before? The Cave is where you go when all the props, crutches, and all that hold you up gives way; when suddenly, things don’t work out as you’ve envisioned. Maybe you’ve lost a job, financial security, spouse, dream of family life, mentor, friend, or health. We’ve all been there. The truth is, sooner or later, everybody logs some serious time in The Cave.

The Cave is where God does some of His best work. God molds and shapes us in The Cave like nowhere else. When you end up in The Cave, I encourage you to embrace it. Why? Because when all you’ve got is God, you quickly come to the realization, that He is enough.

Mother Teresa once said, “You’ll never know Jesus is all you need, until Jesus is all you’ve got.”

He is able to transform discouragement into encouragement. He transforms fear into confidence. He is able to bring new life out of the most desperate of circumstances.

Are you in The Cave? Look for Jesus.

Prayer: Father, thank you for always knowing what is best for me. May I honor You in all that I do. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
“My God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Jesus Christ” (Phil. 4:19).

We want to thank you for your support through your prayers, calls, e-mails and financial. When I am down we receive one of the above from one of you and God reminds me He is still here and that each of you are here with us. So Thank You.

Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
