NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE with GOD

"Over the top!" Seeing Rich set free from all of his anger, bitterness, and debilitating pain was the high light of the day.

Rob and Laurie, from Uniontown Bible, took me along to Baltimore today where hundreds of homeless and needy people get fed every day. At 2:00, the mission is closed and people gather across the street, under the freeway (at Gilbert and Madison). And there's a great need for workers to minister the Gospel Truth.

Janet met us there and came over just after I'd pulled Rich away from the guy he was threatening to kill (a guy from a different gang). I told him about the love of Jesus, but being a gang member, he said--"impossible, there's no way out." After much prayer and ministering, he experienced the power of the Holy Spirit and the love of Jesus "wooing" him and setting him free. But later, that old anger came flaring up again, so he shared his story of deep hurts, abuse, loss, and struggles. Rich had had a taste of the goodness of God, and he wanted to get rid of that pain from unforgiveness and hurts so he could experience the freedom in Christ again; BUT, about forgiveness-he said "never. That will never happen."

Well, guess what?
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD! (Luke 1:37)

2O MINUTES LATER:
Rich was set free. His countenance and his eyes were totally changed, a hard mean scowl changed to a tender grin and then a big smile. Suddenly, his arms, formerly closed and taunt, were open and then embracing.

All I know is that saints prayed, the Holy Spirit moved, and a life was changed.
There's nothing better than that.
And is wasn't me.
It was totally God,
and faith.

Mat 17:20 And Jesus said to them,... For truly I say to you, If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Move from here to there. And it shall move. And nothing shall be impossible to you.

Let us keep praying and praising God!
And we pray that the Lord will keep and protect Rich.
We're also praying for others with needs for provision, jobs, and housing.
Thank you Lord!

Standing in Awe

I'm standing in awe of Him
of His majesty
and His wonderful works

How He puts someone in my path with just what I need, and I had prayed for someone in my path that I could help and in helping them, He helps me.

I'm standing in awe of Him
of His majesty
of His wonderful works
as He shows me His love
and endurance
to stand
through tough times
and it's easy to stand
because He said it's easy
"Take my yoke
My burden is light."

I'm standing in awe of Him
of His wonderful works
how He takes His children
from Glory to Glory

Thank you Lord
for the souls saved in Harrisburg this weekend
Thank you Lord
for healing the sick
thank you Lord for your provision
and for vision
to see
all the beautiful people of your churches
all the different churches
and how each one has its gift and purpose
each one a blessing to me
and it's not about me
but You did it anyway,
died
for me
and them
for everyone
so we can live
life, more abundantly
I'm talking rich---spiritually rich

Thank you Lord
that I don't have to be critical anymore, but have found mercy in time of need
that I may give mercy, abundantly

Thank you Lord
for setting me free
to be me
filled with you
so that I can love again
more like You
and less of me.

Thank you Lord
for showing me
that you care.
I love you Lord.
Amen.
