Walking with God

Yesterday was a travel day as we returned home from the appointment in Pulaski, TN. The Lord provided a great unction of the Spirit as I was invited to share the Word of God with the Wales Baptist congregation. We were welcomed by the warm fellowship of the congregation and the presence of the Holy Spirit. The altars were full after the Word of God was shared; a second invitation for healing was issued and again several came forward for prayer. There is the presence of "spiritual hunger" in the lives of many in the local body as they as are seeking to enter into a deeper relationship with God. Should that not be the cry of the hearts of each believer at this critical moment in the history of our nation? Each of us need to seek to draw closer to God and allow His Spirit to direct and order our steps. It is the enemy who seeks to create an attitude of complacency that is gripping the hearts of so many in the church in America. We must arise and shake off that spirit and allow the fire of the Holy Spirit to awaken our heart to a passionate relationship with Christ. I was privileged to be able to spend the night at my parents home in Decatur, AL. An uncle of mine took the time and made the effort to bring them to the service in Pulaski. It is always a blessing to be able to be in service with my parents. It is through their relationship with God that I was introduced to Christ. I am very thankful for the Christian heritage that has been a part of my life since I was born into this world. There are two thoughts that I would like to leave with you; 1) Be thankful for those people who have influenced your life concerning a relationship with Christ, 2) Remember that you have the ability to influence those people that God places in your life. We are here to offer our service to Christ and allow Him to work in our hearts so that we can be a faithful witness of God's Grace and Mercy.
