I was reading from Experiencing the Spirit, by Henry & Melvin Blackaby last night and thought someone might need to hear this.
“You may have given your life to Christ, but have you understood that you must yield your life to the work of the Holy Spirit? There is no such thing as a once for all decision in the Christian life; it’s a daily dying to self—daily seeking Him and bowing to His lordship. The key to a growing relationship with God is to release your life to all you know. Don’t worry about the unknown; simply respond to what God has revealed. If you’re faithful in a little, He’ll give you more. Don’t just look toward some future time when He’ll do great things in your life; each step along the journey is special. And each step will open up new opportunities. You’ll discover that the power of the Holy Spirit is profoundly simple. You’ll also find that your relationship with God is uniquely your own. He’ll take you from where you are to where He wants you to be. At the beginning of the journey, you won’t know all the details or where He’s taking you, but you can trust that His will is always best.”

Sunday you said that you and your family have been blessed by being at Beulah. I can assure you that I along with many others have also been blessed by your presence at Beulah. You had me on that first day when you said "Hello Sinners." Having come to the LORD late in my life, I try every day to build my relationship with the LORD thru my devotional and prayer times,to take them steps in faith along my journey. I still don't know today the details of what he wants from me or the places he plans on taking me, but I can assure you this, as my faith in the LORD builds each day thru them times that I spend with him, and each step that I take along that journey gets me closer to where He's is taking me.I pray the rest of the journey is as good and even better than what the first part has been. With GOD as my travel agent then the journey has to be a First Class one. AMEN!!!
I have surrendered, HAVE YOU?
Letting GOD open my eyes since
2007!
Amen...you've got it! This life of faith is a journey...a journey with twists and turns, but as long as we keep our eyes focused on Him, the journey will get better.
