Go to all the world.....

Several years ago, I was invited to visit an Indian village in the State of Hildalgo, Mexico. The village people sent me a horse to ride up the mountain. So not to offend the people for their generosity I mounted the horse and started the trip up the mountain. The problem was that the saddle on the horse was made to fit the Butt of a small Indian person. My Butt was quite large and didn't fit the saddle well. On the way up the mountain, I felt some blisters forming. As I arrived hours later there were several blister on my Butt. It was so painful that it was hard to walk. The next day the owner of the horse took it out to do some daily activities. I guess I gave the horse a good work out the day before and it layed down on the trail and died. Several days later when it was time to return, they offered me another horse to ride. I told them thanks alot but I'd rather walk than kill another horse. These kids were a part of the team on the way up the mountain. It was the first time that they saw a white man. We became good friends during my stay. As I was walking back down the mountain I heard the Lord speak and the he said, it is time for you to pass the baton to a new generation to go to difficult places. Like the prophet Isaiah said, "who will go? who may I send, then said I here I am Lord send me."

High HIgh will it go?

The Bible says that every thing that can be shaken will be shaken. It seems as though it is time for the economy to be shaken up. I think it is a good thing! It just might help folks to wake up and realize that we cannot depend upon ourselves but that our dependency is from the Lord. For the person who lives by faith, this is just a hiccup. For the faith person knows that God continues to meet our needs irregardless of what is happening on the world market. David said, "I was young, now I'm old, I have yet to see the righteous forsaken or his seed begging for bread." Keep looking up to Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith.

Destructive Storms

Our country has been devestated with storms during the past weeks. Not only in our country but also in others like China and Myamar have suffered from "Acts of Nature." It is time for all of our intercessors to increase prayer and supplications for Gods grace and mercy to comfort those who are hurting as well as for aid to reach those in need. God is looking for a man or woman to intercede. Now is a good time to start.
