HEART TO HEART

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES

DEAR BROTHERS SISTERS ,
I AM GOING TO SPEAK TO YOU JUST FROM MY HEART THIS WEEK AND LET THE LEADING OF THE HOLY GHOST GUIDE ME .
THESE DAYS THAT WE LIVE IN HAVE SO MANY BURDENS THAT SOMETIMES OUR HEARTS FEEL LIKE WE ARE NOT WORTH ANYTHING AT ALL.
EVEN WHEN WE PRAY SOMETIMES , IT SEEMS LIKE WE ARE GETTING NO FATHER THAN THE CEILING .
THE BATTLES ARE ALL AROUND US , PEOPLE HURTING US LEFT AND RIGHT , AND YES , EVEN CHRISTIAN LOVED ONES .
ARE WE TO BE SHOCHED BY THIS ? NO , NOT IN ANYWAY . GOD'S WORD TELLS US THAT ALL THESE THINGS WILL HAPPEN .
BUT THE POINT I WISH TO MAKE HERE IS NOT JUST THAT BUT RATHER THIS ,
WE CAN DO ALL WE WANT , PRAY,READ,STUDY, GO TO CHURCH, AND EVERYTHING ELSE , BUT YOU CAN BET YOUR LIFE THERE IS STILL GOING TO COME A DRY TIME IN YOUR WALK .
I MYSELF AM IN ONE OF THE WORSE AND HARDEST DRY TIMES I HAVE EVER WALKED THROUGH . PART OF THIS IS MY FOUGHT AND PART JUST THE COURSE A CHRISTIAN WALK CAN TAKE .
BUT THEN I ALSO KNOW THAT GOD SAYS THAT HE WILL BE THERE WITH US IN THAT DRY TIME .
YOU MIGHT ASK, WELL WHERE IS GOD IN THESE DRY TIMES AND WHAT IS THE PURPOSE, IF THERE IS ONE .
GOD IS STILL THERE LISTENING TO YOUR CRIES AND PRAYERS AS HE ALWAYS HAS AND WILL BE .
BUT THERE COMES TIMES IN OUR LIVES WHEN WE MUST WALK THIS WALK OF FAITH BY JUST THAT,
FAITH !!!!
WE MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT WE WALK BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT , WE MIGHT NOT FEEL SAVED ALL THE TIME , THAT IS WHY WE CANNOT GO BY OUR FEELINGS.
FIRST YOU MUST REALIZE THAT YOU DID NOTHING TO EARN YOUR TRIP TO HEAVEN , BUT BELIEVE IN THE NAME OF JESUS AND THEN TRY TO WALK AS HE LEADS YOU .
THE COST WAS NOT PAID BY YOU BUT BY OUR DEAR LORD JESUS !!!
AMEN !!
I KNOW THERE COMES TIMES WHEN THE MINISTRY BECOMES SO HARD AND OVERWHELMING THAT I HAVE TO JUST STOP FOR A MOMENT AND GET MY OWN THOUGHTS IN ORDER .
NO ONE REALLY KNOW THE WEIGHT OF BEING IN THE MINISTRY UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN THERE .
NO ONE REALLY KNOWS HOW HARD IT IS TO KEEP YOUR OWN PERSPECTIVE WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO MINISTER TO EVERYONE ELSES NEEDS .
THEN YOU HAVE YOUR OWN BATTLES TO FIGHT THAT IN SOME CASES ARE EVEN MORE POWERFUL AND LONGER BECAUSE YOU ARE A MAIN TARGET OF THE DEVIL BECAUSE YOU ARE IN THE MINISTRY OF TAKEING LOST ,HURTING SOULS FROM THE DEVIL FOR THE LORD , BY THE LORDS POWER I WILL SAY .
THAT MAKES YOU A MORE VALUEABLE TARGET IN THE DEVILS EYES , IF HE COULD GET ONE OF GOD'S CALLED TO TURN AWAY , THAT'S LIKE A BLUE 5 STAR RIBBION TO HIM . AMEN !!
BUT WE CANNOT LET THAT HAPPEN AND YOU CAN BET THAT GOD WILL FIGHT EVERY DEVIL IN HELL FOR THAT SERVANT THAT HE HAS CALLED TO PREACH OR MINISTER HIS HOLY WORD.
STOP AND THINK ABOUT JUST HOW MANY PASTORS AND MINISTERS YOU HAVE MET ON LINE SINCE YOU STARTED USEING AOL OR WHATEVER INTERNET YOU USE.
DO YOU PRAY FOR THESE PASTOR AND MINISTERS , DO YOU EVER STOP AND THINK ABOUT WHAT BATTLES THEY MIGHT BE FIGHTING FOR YOU AS YOU ASK FOR HIM TO PRAY FOR YOUR NEEDS ?
NOW THESE ARE NOT THE WORDS OF A DEFEATED PASTOR OR MINISTER, NOT IN ANYWAY !!
THIS IS JUST A MINISTER THAT HAS SEEN AND FELT ALOT AND KNOWS THE HARDSHIPS THAT A MINISTERING FAMILY GO THROUGH .

YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT JUST THIS FAMILY HAS BEEN THROUGH SINCE THE LORD CALLED ME INTO THE MINISTRY 10 OR SO YEARS AGO.
WE HAVE BEEN SAVED MORE THAN 19 YEARS AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE BATTLES WE HAD BEFORE I WAS CALLED INTO THE MINISTRY WERE NOTHING .
AND I SAY THAT WITH ALL LOVE AND SERIOUSNESS TOWARDS YOU AND THE LORD .
THE LORD KNOWS MY HEART AS HE DOES YOURS,
BUT I CAN AND WILL SAY THIS ,NEVER

NEVER HAS THE LORD JESUS LET US DOWN OR NOT BROUGHT US THROUGH THOSE BATTLES.
YES , SOMETIMES WE WONDERED IF WE WOULD SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY . YES SOMETIMES WE FELT AS THOUGH GOD HAD WALKED AWAY FROM US AND WE WERE ALL ALONE .
BUT THEN , JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO GO UNDER , GUESS WHAT !!!
HERE COME JESUS AND THE HOLY GHOST ON THE SIGHT TO TAKE OVER AND TO TAKE CONTROLL OF THE MATTER .
IS'NT IT FUNNY , WHEN YOU ALL OF A SUDDEN ARE ON THE MOUNTIAN TOP YOU FORGET ABOUT THE VALLEY YOU JUST WENT THROUGH . IT'S LIKE , WE WERE ON THE TOP ALL THE TIME .
I GUESS THAT'S BECAUSE GOD'S DELIVERENCE POWER IS SO GREAT AND POWERFUL THAT IT OVER SHADOWS THE VALLEY WE WERE JUST IN .
BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE LORD JESUS,
PLEASE REMEMBER THE ONES THAT GOD HAS SET BEFORE YOU TO HELP YOU IN THE LATE HOURS OF THE MORNING WHEN YOU NEED TO CALL THEM , AND GUESS WHAT , THE PHONE RINGS AND THAT PASTOR OR MINISTER IS THERE .
REMEMBER THE TIMES WHEN HE GOES OUT OF HIS WAY TO BE THERE FOR YOU .
REMEMBER THAT NOT ONLY IS HE FIGHTING FOR YOU AND YOUR BATTLES , BUT HE FIGHTING HIS OWN ALSO .
LOVE YOUR PASTOR AND MINISTERS WITH ALL YOUR HEART . DO WHAT EVER YOU CAN TO HELP THEM . SHOW THEM THE TRUE LOVE OF CHRIST AS THEY HAVE SHOWN YOU .
AND IF HE MESSES UP EVERY NOW AND THEN , WELL, DON'T BRING DOWN THE HOUSE OF JUDGEMENT UPON HIM , BUT RATHER LOVE HIM THAT MUCH MORE.
REMEMBER GOD SAID ALSO

NOT TO TOUCH ONE OF HIS ANNOINTED ONES !!

I PRAY THAT THIS HAS TOUCHED YOUR HEART AND SOUL AND HAS MADE YOU SEE JUST HOW IMPORTANT YOUR PASTORS AND MINISTERS ARE.
THIS GOES OUT TO ALL OF US PASTORS AND MINISTERS .
WE NEED THE SHEEP THAT GOD HAS SET US CHARGE OVER TO LOVE US, SUPPORT US , LIFT US UP BEFORE THE LORD JESUS , AND THIS MUST BE DONE EVERYDAY .
STOP AND THINK WHERE YOU WOULD BE WITHOUT YOUR PASTOR OR MINISTER .

NOW IN NO WAY AM I PLACEING PASTORS OR MINISTERS ABOVE THE LORD JESUS, NO WAY WOULD I DO THAT .

ALL I AM SAYING IS REMEMBER YOUR PASTOR AND LET HIM KNOW YOU LOVE HIM AND ALWAYS REMEMBER TO PRAY FOR HIM !!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!
