  • The Day of Small Things from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. As with many of my messages, this was a word for me, but I will share it with you as I found it encouraging. I have been building a new social media website for Refreshing Hope behind the scenes for months. It is a massive undertak...
  • Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come. Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send ou...

    Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth dea...

The Master's Touch

  • And wherever He came, in villages, cities, or countryside, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and implored Him that they might touch even the fringe of His garment. And as many as touched it were made well. Mark 6:56 ESV

    As we knelt down to pray, my friend had mixed emotions of fear, anger, uncertainty, and questioned whether Jesus was even real. We had played music together for the last few months. He didn't go to church, but knew that I went to Bible college. What we had in common was that most weekends, we were playing in a bar together. I had prayed about leaving it, and the Lord told me to stay. It paid my way through school and a couple of people got saved along the way.

    I didn't look down on them, I was just one of the band, but they watched me. My friend broke down one night and in tears said: 'You are different from the others. I want what you have.' He met Jesus. When we came up from prayer, he had a glow about him and smile from ear to ear. His doubts were gone. He was touched by the Lord Jesus and he was never the same.

    The touch of the Lord can melt the hardest of hearts, but you have to initiate it. You have to reach out for Him. He is a gentleman and will not force His way into your busy schedule, though He is always close. Stop a moment and invite Him to be a part of your life. If you do not know Him, start your relationship now with: 'Lord Jesus, save me.' The rest will come from the Master's touch.

    Prayer: Come into my heart, Jesus. Forgive me of my past and guide me from this day forth. I want to have a relationship with You! I surrender Lord. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and work Your perfect will in my life.

I feel the same way. I want what you have. I already have part of it. I love Jesus and have a passion for him, but I wish I could serve the lord like you.  Your writing inspires me. I feel a push and pull to serve the lord more. I read your writings and I think, my client needs to hear this but I havnt shared this blog with them yet 

and yet I know I can't be you. I know you can't be me. I have my own unique talents to serve Jesus. I praise Jesus that he made me unique and special to serve him in just the right way. 

May I serve the lord, love the lord with all my heart, soul and mind for today.
