Life

I was talking to Jacob at church, a young man I met just today, and he said that he used to go to Church in the Word for 4 years, 3 years ago. So for the past 3 years, the Lord sent him to International House Of Prayer (IHOP) in Kansas City. Talking to Jacob and hearing about the awesome work that the Lord is doing brought swelling joy to my heart. Praise the Lord!!! There are many people, from many different nations and of different origin coming to IHOP. From Middle East to Europe, from Asia to North America, many come to worship our God, and it is awesomely exciting! I really want to visit that place one day.

The usual task I do when I complete a task at work is to notify the people who would be affected by the change, even though they may be sitting in an adjacent cubicle. So this morning, as I was typing an email for a completed task, I felt the Holy Spirit telling me not to write the email. I didn’t understand why…it’s the usual thing I did. I was hesitant to obey, and then I listened to the nudge of the Spirit, even though I still didn’t know why. I closed the email…the save dialog showed up…I quickly used the keyboard shortcut to say “No”. Ahhh. Relief. Ok…now…wow! I then received a revelation…just talk to the people! Tell them the task is done…don’t write to them about it. Haha! That’s so simple, yet it was so difficult for me to see!   I then thought that situations like this are opportunities to strike up more conversation!   Praise God for His patience in continually working on u...

Here is an excerpt from an email that a co-worker has sent to me:   “ What church do you and your wife go to? I have been thinking alot lately about going to church. I have never really attended church and don't know much about the bible. But I have a desire to know. I feel strange just waltzing into a church and being lost.”   How awesome is the work of the Lord! And that we can take part in it! Woah! Alleluja!

Last night, my wife asked to use my cell phone. I said sure, but then did not know where it was. We looked for about 5 minutes, in places I may have placed it, and without success. Not in my work bag, not in the office, not upstairs in the bedroom, not in the dining room. We decided to call mom, living 10 miles away, and ask her to call the cell phone, with hope that we will hear it ring.   We heard no ringing. After another 5 minutes of searching, I thought to look between the couch cushions... "I found something..." I said to Jessica. I felt the small object, and it was a usb stick with Jessica's homework. Jessica looked and said something in the regard of "I would have had trouble looking for this.", and she placed it in her purse. I thought, and said that maybe this was the reason why the phone was lost... that we may find this usb stick, and also mentioning that we will likely find the phone soon. With instinct, I went to my work bag, in...

Yesterday, Sunday, Jessica and I go arrive at church a little early, because we had to buy some plywood for the house before church, and had some time left. We were are at the church parking lot at around 9:30, and we waited until 9:45 to go inside. I saw a good friend of mine walking inside a church, and went to the benevolence room, knowing that is likely where I would find him since he works there. While in the benevolence room, the leader of the benevolence ministry asked me to help out there after the service is over, because he had to leave early. I said sure; I've done it before a few months back. The service was interesting; you can download podcasts here http://podcast. churchintheword.com/Church_In_ The_Word/Church_In_the_Word_-_ Podcast/Church_In_the_Word_-_ Podcast.html After the service and prayer, I went to benevolence to help. After yet another 1 hour or so, clean up was taking place in benvolence. The benevolence ministry receives an abundence of varied bre...

Jessica and I prayed yesterday morning, for help and guidance in uncluttering our lives. We both felt on our hearts in the evening of the same day, and had peace and excitement about it, that we should cut off internet and cable tv service. By this morning, it's done, and we felt weight come off our hearts. Praise be to God Almighty!

The mighty, most beautiful God is working in wonderful ways in the life of Kenny, my good friend from a youth group. It is exciting to be part of His awesome works!
