God Speaks

God speaks in many different ways. He has spoken to me that way at least. It was 6 years ago yesterday. 7am December 17, 2003 on Missouri Highway 7 near Creighton and the Henry county border when God used a pick up flipping at 70mph and ending up the median that God showed me he had so much more for me and today it happened again.

I came to the conclusion to scrap everything I have been doing in ministry right now and start with a new idea but it seemed redundant what I was planning and I didn't seem to get anywhere praying. And just when you think God isn't listening he always proves you wrong. You see Mel found a note taped to the student center door that confirmed God's essential call on my life and what I am doing. It was anonymous and I will never know who wrote it and it doesn't matter for they were letting themselves be used of God to relay a message to me.

Fun stuff. So be encouraged any of you who feel like your spinning wheels or no one gets you, just remember God speaks when you least expect it!

Watch me burn

I wonder sometimes what God thinks when it comes to people being asleep in the light. Leonard Ravenhill wrote a book about revival and renewal not hitting the American church because we are there but are not there in the aspect of listening to God's heart. I find myself sometimes trying to "rally the troops" with the best message or speech or pep talk and I just wonder what God thinks when they do not heed not my words but God's words and are then disobedient. My heart hurts almost to an anger and I wonder if God experiences the same exact stuff because if he does I really don't see him allowing the world as we know it go on much longer as it is.

The challenge on my heart is to invest in as many people as I can and as Wesley would say set myself on fire so people everywhere will come and watch me burn!
