Jumping Into The Deep

This morning I am up early seeking God in prayer, and in bible study. Last night my heart was on reaching people for Christ. What good is it for me to be in ministry if we are not reaching people, sharing God's Word, and loving others? I do not want this ministry to be just a ministry in title only. Every so often God places someone on my mind. It is now my sister. She is a sweet young lady who has been trying to find her way. It has been tough since her divorce. Not financially, but inwardly. Some of us know that feeling of emptiness. She will be visiting me in Florida next week, and my prayer is that she experience the love of Christ. My prayer is that she can begin a new chapter in her life of freedom. You know what drives me in ministry - I remember that feeling of emptiness, and worthlessness when all the crowds where gone - when I was all alone. My goal is that as seek God and experience more of Christ in my life that I share it with others in whatever way that the ministry can be creative. God has been moving me within to launch out deeper for Him, and I must. It's all about Him - I can do this - I will do this, because I love Him so.

Running The Race

You know what have been on my mind lately. Reaching more people for Christ. I am thankful for everything that God has done for me, and the ministry. Words cannot express my gratitude. As I continue in this journey it seems each time I think that I can take a deep breath God places something else on my heart to venture out into. I know that it is God because it have nothing to do with me, and everything to do with Him. The month of May have been the "I Will Trust You" month. I did a series on the topic, and as we continue to grow personally, and spiritually, the ministry does as well. The trusting that I am speaking of today is that as we move forward in what God places on our heart we believe that He will meet the need. How many times do we feel the nudge of God in a particular area of our lives, but do nothing. They're is a time to be patient, but also a time to press forward. I have been doing a little more praying these days, and much more seeking God.
