The Secret Place...

It has finally warmed up to about 36 degrees today, and the ice is melting.  I have placed my Explorer in the garage to have some repairs this week so I am spending some time catching up on rest, paperwork, and time with the Lord.  The mechanic just informed me that he should have me going this evening or at the latest on Monday.  They are having to rebuilt the rear end and replace the axles on the front as well.

During this week, I have met with several people, done some ministry, shared with pastors in this area what the Lord is doing in Glenda and me, and most importantly, finding the time to spend some intimate time with the Lord each morning at the church.  WOW, what a blessing it is to sense the sweet presence of the Father as I sit at the keyboard and just worship. 

Yesterday, I became lost in His presence for well over an hour as I worshipped.  It was so refreshing to me.  We live about 14 miles from the church, and often it is easy for me to decide that I can do this at home.  But really, there is no place like coming into the House of Prayer to soak in the Presence of our Father God!  I had figured that I had cried all my tears on Thursday, but found that there was another fountain this morning as I worshipped.

The hour that I set aside, has become two in many instances.  It is better than Italian Cream Cake!

Please....take the time to spend in intimate worship with the Lord.  It will renew your faith as you come into His presence.

I received an email from Jimmy, who is in IRAQ, this morning.  He is having an issue with an apparent pinched nerve resulting in severe pain to his shoulder and thereby, difficulty in sleeping at night because of the pain.  Would you join with Glenda and me to pray for this need?  I would appreciate it very much.

We will be praying for you this week end in our services.  I am bringing a printed copy of the names of all those who are responding to me either by email or through this blog into the service for prayer.  If you have need for healing, deliverance, restoration, or any other need, please let us know.  We want to stand with you in prayer for divine intervention in your situation.

So....... whatever you do....

Keep the faith!


CARRY ON
