Training Wheels from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Today I want to talk about the journey of becoming more like Jesus, and it is a journey. I will be talking mostly about the life of the Apostle Peter, but I want to begin with something Jesus said to all of His disciples in Luke 6:40: A d... -
let's hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful. Let's consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day appr...

By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went. By faith, he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the ...
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.

Thank you for the encouragement, Dion! I needed it!!! :)

Amen Lord
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.
Sounds exciting indeed, Jim :)! I believe that if you show up, He will, too!
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! :)
Amen! The Lord sees us through everything and NEVER fails! How truly Blessed and thankful I am to have such a wonderful God who has my back! I hope everyone has a Blessed day!
Amen!!
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. Amen!
