BEING CONTENT

When reading the word of God we learn to do the best we can, in what ever situtation we are in. We all know that God hates a murmuring and complaining spirit. I have learned, for us to please Him, we have to be very thankful and work for Him in what ever condition or place, we are in. Right now, my husband is going to trucking school, to get his cdl license's. He wants to learn to drive a, tractor and trailor, to be able to move, the gospel tents, from place to place. He has passed all his tests and is gone on the road with a trainer, he has to get 220 hours of driving, before he will be back home. He calls all time and says pray for me, the man I am riding with, is really hard to get alone with. He has some more tests to take after he comes off the road, everyone pray that he will pass them. Cause, he needs this training, for the Lord's work. Less bind the spirit of the devil in his trainer. The devil will try to do everything he can, to make him fail it. Because he don't want no one driving, a tractor and trailor, to move gospel tents around the country. He would like to get them all off the road. We have been pretty isolated this pass year, not going much. Learning to be content; I miss traveling and working with the prophet, And being in his tent meetings. But I have to make the best of the stand still we are in. So, I am reaching out through the internet to people, trying to encourage them to hold on to Jesus, no matter what. Just maybe, if this period of stand still, wasn't happening, He couldn't have used me to write, like I have.
See all things work for the good to them that Love the Lord and are called according to his purpose. Plus I have been able to pray and seek God, to lead me to a church for my family to worship in. Because I was really worry about them, having no where to go to church. Unless they drove for three hours to find one. Now when we get back on the road, I can be at peace, knowing they have a home church they can go to..It's hard to make it with out a church isn't it...I try to keep my ears tuned in to God, so he can use me daily. What ever he wants me to do..the reason, I am saying this is to show you what I could be doing, or what the flesh or the devil will try to make you think..I could be murmuring and complaining and thinking, why is this happening to me, why can't we be traveling for Jesus. why do I have to suffer so much and do with out...I can think of all the things that I could be doing, rather I'm setting here not, doing anything that is worth nothing. I may as well give up or there's no use praying, I'm not doing nothing anyway...I hear people tallk like this...Dear Lord, what a carnal mind. If I can help one, it is worth staying in prison for. As much as I use to hate, I now love just as much...and I want to go and be around people. But the Lord has me standing still, so I have to make the best of it...When it's time to go, he will open the doors..You can do something for God everyday, if you really want to, if it's letting your light shine down at the grocery store...thats very important to you know..people that I can reach, you will never reach, and the people that you can reach, I will never be able to reach.......Maybe you all of a sudden, get a urge to go to the park and take a walk...You're not going there on your on, before your walk is over, you will run into someone that has lost all hope, or maybe with some other problem. And God will began to reach out to them. Is this not important? That preacher out on the field, will never be able to reach this person thats in the park...He is using you. If this is not important to you, then something is bad wrong with you. Being content, working with the one. My reward will be just as great, as the one that is out there reaching one thousand, if I do it with all my heart, and not murmur and complain. John on the isle of patmos, was isolated look what God used him to do..Oh people how great God's work is, if only we would learn to die daily and let him use us...Don't it make you fill good to help someone. This is what Jesus is all about. People can't usually, understand you, when you start being lead by the spirit. The Bible says, they that are lead by his spirit, are the sons of God. People will invite me to go to church with them, they ask do you still play, the bass guitar, yes, but I had rather play the piano. They are needing some one to play music, and I will say if it be the Lord's will. They will say now you know that it is the Lords will, for us to go the church. Well he may not want me to go to church that day, he may want me to go to the park and help someone, that is about to kill their self. I don't mean to miss church just for pleasure. If God sends you somewhere, it will be for his work..Don't listen to people. This is hard to do sometimes, and we have to be on guard all time, to not let people talk us into doing something else, that the Lord is not even in...Its not easy to obey God...and when you start doing this, saten will do everything he can to stop you or try to make you think, that it is not God leading you...and he will use, most of the time, your family ...but don't give in, keep obeying. Really down deep inside, they know that it is God leading you. There was a time and space after I was serpent bite, that I never talked about it. Every now and then I would tell someone in my self...twenty years later, after I had almost forgotten about it, never dreaming, that God would anoint me to share it with, thousands. Now he is anointing me to tell it, on the enternet and in the churches....but in myself I can't talk much and sure can't testify, in church. But when he anoints me, he fills my mouth with words.... You know I was thinking, I will never be able to travel enough, to reach all the people, that we can on the internet.....I can travel the rest of my life and never reach as many people as the internet does. But we still have to go. I guess we just take out computer with us, and keep reaching out to the ones we can't get to, in person....how great is the internet, until the mark sets in, anyway.....He is preparing me for a ministry. Most of the men in the bible were isolated for a space and time. He is teaching and training me. I go when he says go and stay when he says stay. If you don't, you will run ahead of him and shipwreck..we must wait, and I find some don't have much patients, waiting is real hard to do, but we have to make our self wait. The flesh gets very restless, doesnt it. My husband needs to learn to have more of it. He gets upset with me sometimes, for being so patient and waiting on God. He gets in a hurry. And don't like to admit that, I was right and he was wrong. Babies totally trust God, seasoned preachers sometimes for get and run ahead of God. Babies trust their mothers and when they began to grow up, they think they know it all and can make it on their on, with not as much help or advice from their mothers..same way with christians. We always have to keep that child like trust in God. That is what brought me off my death bed. One well known preacher, tells of what he got into for not coming aside and seeking God once, when the Lord wanted him to...He didn't have time he was to busy working for God, but God got his attention. We better obey him, he will slow you down one way or the other. Grown ups, most of them, don't like to take advice form babies.
Babies don't know the deep things of God. But they know how to trust and be led by their mothers (Jesus)....they hold tightly to their mothers hands. Knowing they will fall, by their selfs. Grown ups know the deep things of God. And sometimes lose that child like trust and want wait on God to lead them. They get to thinking they can do it on their on, with little or no help from God. And stop holding on tight to their masters hand. We could help each other if, people would quiet being so stubborn. Thinking they know it all and got it all...Not everyone is like this, but a lot of them is..UNLESS WE HUMBLE OURSELFS AND BECOME LIKE A LITTLE CHILD, WE WANT MAKE IT...watch a child, they argue and fight, and in a few minutes they are loving each other, never remembering what the other one done to it...they totally depend on their mother for food and all their needs...they hold to their mothers hands and want let go. God always keep me, humble as a little child..what ever it takes.
