God is ALWAYS Working!

Me and pastor Keith Taylor form Newmarket Church of the Nazarene

Tell me if this has ever happened to YOU...

You are thinking/praying about something, then at church, the pastor will speak about that very thing you were secretly wondering about!

These types of incidents really convince us that, despite all the human effort we put into doing church and living life, ultimately God is the one who gets His message home to our hearts!

I had the blessing of speaking at Newmarket Church of the Nazarene this past Sunday.  Pastor Keith Taylor took a moment before introducing me to the platform to tell a story.  In the story, a man was powerfully brought to  a saving knowledge of Jesus after picking up a hitchhiking pastor.  The pastor had been prompted earlier to thumb his way to church and was reluctant to follow the leading of his spirit due to the image of being considered a hobo!

What the pastor did not know is that the man who picked him up had a praying wife!  She had been praying for him for 40 years!

That day, in the vehicle, he surrendered to the love of an awesome God!

My message that morning was all about how we work together WITH God to reach a lost and hurting world.  Our part is to spread the word and God's part is to give the increase!  I used the parable of the sower in Matthew 13.

It lined up so beautify with the story pastor Kieth told, that I was pretty excited to share it!

I can't imagine how that message must have been for someone in the congregation that day!

We won't know until the after life, just what the impact of our words are.  All I know is, it's comforting to know that as we work in our churches or ministries, God is also working!
