A God Story

   So, when to me it is obvious that God is intervening in my life, I for lack of a better term call these events "God Stories".  Here is one.

   My wife and I have gone through a lot.  In April our marriage almost collapsed.  So about two weeks ago I was really down on my marriage.  I spent a lot of time thinking about what I was going to do.

   Lately I've really struggled to attend Church regularly.  I'm consistent with a Bible Study that is every other week, going on Sunday morning is a struggle for whatever reason.  Last week I felt that I needed to go to Church and I didn't really have an excuse not to.  Of course that Saturday night, in possibly an effort to self sabotage my effort to go, I stayed up past three.  So I prayed, "Lord, you are going to have to get me to Church or else I won't make it." or something like that.  I don't believe in giving God ultimatums but I know myself and what I was saying was true.

   So I woke up figuring it was about noon and I had slept in.  I lazily got out of bed and looked at the clock.  It was only a little after 8!  Now where to go.  The Church that sponsors the Bible study I go to wasn't till 11:00, and to be honest I kinda dread wading through all the people there (it is a good Church but it is kind of a mega church).  So I elected to go to the local Calvary Chapel instead.

   I went to that Calvary Chapel once when I moved to my new town and wasn't too impressed.  Right when the wheels came off of our marriage I went back to this Calvary Chapel and the message the Pastor delivered was right at the time what I needed to hear.  I wasn't sure if that would repeat.

   I get to the church, almost late, and the parking lot is full.  I circle around and a parking spot opens right up about as close to the front door as you can get in the lot I was in.  I go in.  The message was on 1 Corinthians 7...the part about marriage.

   The message was exactly what I needed to hear.  It is amazing that I was drawn not only to Church, but this specific Church to hear a message that I absolutely needed to hear.  I needed to have God's opinion, hope, and also practicality injected into my thinking.  Now I have my marching orders so to speak.  To love my wife as Jesus loves his bride, the church.  And to let the chips fall where they may.

Praise to God for Not Taking My Dad

I've been praying about my Dad's health lately...that God would not take my father and that death would be held at bay until my Dad is saved.  Well my my Mom left for the day, but suddenly her plans got cancelled (God cancelled them) and she came home to find my Dad unresponsive.  My father was rushed by ambulance to the hospital.  He is OK but if my Mom's plans weren't suddenly cancelled my father might have died.

I thank you God for mercy to my Dad and me by not allowing him to die.  Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pray Jesus that God would continue to draw my Dad to you so that before his time on earth is up, and the sooner the better, my father would be saved.

So You Want to Know How Deep The Rabbit Hole Goes

So you want to know a little bit about how deep this war for souls goes? How the enemy uses people in ways that many of you had not imagined?  Here is a good start if you wish to go there.  Pray first, not for everyone.

Discovering the Truth with Dan Duval [Link] is currently doing an interview series with Dr. Preston Bailey. If you want to know about demonization, mind control, alter personalities, satanism, psychotronic weapons, and other parts of the ugliness in the spiritual war raging around us, take a listen.  As of this post there are 7 episodes, each varying in length from one hour to two hours.

Recommended, but with all things any truth that is presented here that doesn't jive with what you have read in the Bible should be challenged.  The thrust of these episodes is to shine light on things that are happening in the darkness so that people can be lead to the savior who heals, not to glorify the forces of darkness and their methods.
