Blessings
Bring it on, and welcome! Share a little background? God's blessing, James.
hi james
well my history(church) pretty much involves every denomination
baptized as an infant/baptized as a beleiver/holy spirit baptized-even got baptized in the jordan river with a bunch of big fish
told i proseltized to much asked to leave a church
now dont get me wrong,i wasnt abusive but when God says pray for the pastors wife to get of her sick bed and she does-i thought that was pretty cool-many didnt
but i guess we all have our stories
im married /5 kids(God decided to bless us)
always i mean always had a yearning to get to the bottom of things -the truth
seek the kingdom-so i did
had a toss up ministry(seminary) or business(marketplace)-i wrestled with God on that one.i siad God i dont want to miss what you have for me but if you want me to start a full fledged business,i will
i put aside my ambitions and let God take over.we learned very quicly about sowing and reaping.our income after our first time sowing doubled our income,the next time doubled again.so we get pretty excited when the heavens open up above you and your able to advance the kingdom
but key to it all for us was dieing to self, our hearts had to be right-God will continue to pour out as long as we dont hold on to tightly what we think is ours.
so God is bringing us from ministry to ministry to equip us and bless others.
so we'll see what God is going to do.
i learned very quickly "that all are saved" to many friends 'just doesnt mean everyone'but its all good and i'll get my encouragement from here.
so thanks for asking-and i hope i can be a blessing to everyone!
kingdom come :icon_king:
Great, thanks. It's encouraging to hear your story and your heart. I posted an excerpt from Charles Slagle about our "coming out" in this thread ("Shout<<Hello World" in Welcome Central) and thought it may be encouraging to you. God's blessing.
