Matthew 25: 36.
"I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."
I JUST GOT OUT OF JAIL.... and it was awesome!
Many workers on the Harrison County REC #12 stepped out of their "comfort zones" and ministered to 10 "hungry for God" ladies last weekend (March 13-15). Several workers were from PUMC!
Words can not describe the feeling of the presence of God over the weekend. The residents were engaged in conversation at the tables immediately with their leaders on Friday afternoon. The Lord showed up in a mighty way on Saturday night as the ladies gave their hearts to Him, one by one. Sunday was filled with fun and great music as we ended our time with the residents.
Even though a few workers fell ill Sunday, it didn't stop our Lord and Savior from showing up in mighty ways.
Nothing went on time- it didn't matter. God was in control. He had the agenda, we didn't.
The speakers testamony's were just what the ladies needed, even if they were not "on time" or at the right "time". God was in control.
It made me think again about how we miss the Lord's blessings.
Do we miss them because of Fear? "Oh, I could never work in the Jail, that is just not for me".
Do we miss them because of our own Agenda? "I have a schedule here and I can't deviate from it."
Do we miss them because we don't Trust God or ourselves? "I could never lead someone to Christ, that's someone else's job."
Let God have your Fear, your Agenda, and your Trust and see what He can do with it. I saw it first hand this weekend. HE IS A MIGHTY MIGHTY LORD!
