Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as Yahweh spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days. Yahweh spoke to me, saying, 'You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.' Deuteronomy 2:1-3 WEBThe Israelites wandered forty years in th... -
I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.' He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with...

Facing The Giants

O LORD, in your strength the king rejoices, and in Your salvation how greatly he exults! You have given him his heart's desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Psalms 21:1 ESV
I was scared when the call came because I had grown up on a farm and had no formal education in computers, but I knew the Lord wanted me to go help them. Later when I walked out of the accountant's office, I was amazed at what had just happened. I had repaired their corrupted client database with years of tax returns in a few moments, and did not have a clue as to how.
Computers were a hobby of mine. The accountant firm had gotten my number from someone and called me out of desperation. At the time, there were not many people in our area to call. Computers were still rare in those days and everything was done from a command prompt. It was before Windows and what we call the Internet.
I prayed all the way there and had it fixed in a few minutes. They thought I was a genius. This became common. Before long I was making five to seven calls a day just like that. Sometimes when I simply touched the keyboard, it would be fixed. It was simply a lot of prayer. I prayed everywhere I went. God opened the doors, and I went, praying all the way. For the next seventeen years, we worked together. We still do.
When God opens the door, step through it. Do not let your fear, education, or anything else hold you back from what He has. Goliath backed down the entire Israeli army, until one teenager stepped out and killed him. When He gives you a job to do, He will give you the ability to do it as well. God will go with you. You can face this giant.
Prayer: Father guide me this day and come with me wherever I go. Push me forward into the deeper plans that you have for my life and anoint me for the work that you give me to do, in the name of Jesus.

Thanks Dion, I have been asked to do a healing service at a small church here at the beach. When I was first asked, I can not tell you how excited I was. Now I have had a chance to think about it and I am thinking what if God does not show up? I know God is always here, but the thinking is very strong.
Jim, Noah could only build the ark.... God had to send the rain. When He began to push me into working on computers, some company would call with a complex problem like a corrupted income tax database and I would be ready to say "no", but I would feel Him say "Go, and I will go with you." And He did! All you can do is show up and He does the rest. Be blessed, you will do fine! :)
Prayer: Father guide me this day and come with me wherever I go. Push me forward into the deeper plans that you have for my life and anoint me for the work that you give me to do, in the name of Jesus, I pray, Amen. Father, I need a job, please push me towards the one which will provide for my needs and those of my family. Thank you, Lord.
Lord, please give me the grace and ability to do my job well. It's not something I enjoy, but it's where you put me and want to do it to the best of my ability. Please help make it fun simple and easy. Guide me into what you want me to be doing with my life, since everything I would love to be doing for work has been blocked and taken away. thank you Lord and praise you for all the blessings in my life. Amen.
