When I was teaching school I loved to get up early and be there long before others would show up. It was some of the quietest and most peaceful times.... and seemed as if the rest of the world was asleep. As I came to know Jesus more and more, I valued those times even more. I found that many times the Lord would talk to me, minster to me, or remind me of some of what he has done in my life. I was again reminded of this testimony in the last few days and would like to share with you here! It is a good reminder to us all that he does hear us!!
We were just a handful of days from leaving Oklahoma. I was finishing my last school day as a teacher on May 30, 2014. Our plan was for me to be all checked out of school, have ourselves loaded up , and pull out for Texas.
We had given away things we would not be taking with us over some time, as well as almost all my school things; but we still had plenty of things left we still needed gone by that Friday and it was quickly approaching! Anthony was working in the garage, and I had made a sign that I was going to put out near the main highway that led to our house.
As I was pulling out I said, "Lord, we need this stuff gone!! All of it!! You could just have someone come and take it all!!" I went on to the road, put my sign in the ground, and as I was turning around to walk off, a couple drove up and said they were headed my way.
By the time I pulled back up to my house they said they were taking everything! They shared how they had recently lost everything in a fire, and they could use the things we had. What a blessing!! And it was all gone!! We just thanked God!!
Psalm 68:8;
Trust in him at all times; you people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us.
Remember my friends, every day is an opportunity to believe on the one raised from the dead, and that one, that man, is Jesus Christ. To believe the gospel I share with you in I Corinthians 15: 3 -4. We are told if we have heard it and have received it, we are to stand in it!! To keep it in memory!! And you know what? If we do, we are saved by it!! That gospel, which is the power of God, will work in our lives for everything!! BUT.. it also will not work if our believing has been or is in vain.
I encourage you today, call on the name of Jesus! My prayers have greatly increased to where I am continually calling on that name! "JESUS, JESUS, JESUS, GRACE JESUS".
The scriptures tell us there is no other name under heaven in which men are to be saved. And that name is Jesus!
God Bless!
