In The Midst of the Storm


“The Lord calls us to come to Him. All He is looking for is some honesty and a desire to spend time (even eternity) with Him. He loves deeply. His love goes wide too. The love of the Lord is calm in the midst of a storm. Gives unto the God the pleasures of your life, and pick Him up as your only delight. And He will make you the delight too, and pour His faithful love and favor on you. Why do men look to this transitory passing world as all there is? That which is underneath the “fear of death” is a complete understanding of the hereafter. It is not uncommon to leave this world and go into the world that people did not even know existed. God had shown each and every one of those people the life beyond life at various times during their lives—and even on a daily bases. But to place all faith in that which is fleeting is amazingly foolish. But really, how many fools are there in comparison to the wise. Trade this transitory life for that which is forever, then Live!—Sheldon David.
   
Since coming back to the United States I have faced some of the biggest challenges in my life--spiritually, emotional and physically. My marriage has been improving, but still needs much work. Finding ways to minister is also another that is not as easy as when I was in Mexico. However, I have learned that I can accomplish much more through prayer and declarations than I ever thought possible. But the last issue that I have seen and experienced personally is the physical attacks on the body and bride of Christ. Satan still tries to steal, kill and destroy God's children and that must come to an end, and the sooner the better. In every situation, I know our God is faithful to all who place their trust in Him, and His timing. Yet, we often don't fully understand His ways. I know He is faithful to all the promises He has made to me and His Church. I believe in my Father's amazing love and I can find peace even is the midst of the storms, Especially, when spending intimate time with Him. Then nothing else seems that important.    

Even though Jesus Christ was beaten to a bloody pulp and nailed to a cross, satan was always under His feet, We too, who are in Christ, will find satan under our feet regardless of the circumstances or the pain we must bear, whether physical or emotional. And we will share in the victory and the glory for all eternity. Twenty years age satan tried to take my life and he is trying to do it again, but he will  fail just like before, because my God is always faithful. Amen!
